We missed you all out there. I was bored as fun and I'm glad to be back. We only missed one week, which would have been which would have been like New Year's Who's gonna do a podcast on New Year's? No, we didn't, but I would have been. I missed it, But I mean,

you know, I had a good time. I man. I made sure my family was good, my grandkids was happy. So we had a good time for the New Year's. Now let's do it. We're gonna do our thing. But you know, um, all the comments out there that we was getting in and the text messages and everybody's sending things through the messenger. Man, I appreciate all y'all. We appreciate all y'all. Um. Reggie is good. Um, his spirit is high, he's straighted on. You know, everybody looking out

for him. And we want to thank everybody that's sending him a book, stamps, people sending him stamps just so he can write them. But Reggie is living like a celebrity in there because a lot of people were in there, recognize him, are heard him from gangs to chronicles, are uh interviews about death Row and all that, and he's like big popping in there. Everybody coming in accident for advice. And and Reggie is cool, he's he's relaxed, he's uh,

he lost six team seventeen pounds already. He's shaping up. So when when Reggie come on, we're gonna see a new Reggie. So let's get to it. When he comes home, ain't gonna but he's gonna be. He gonna be better, in better shape than he was when he went in there. Is he ain't having a problem with his leg no more. And it was just all that weight on his on his ankle. And you know all of us got a chance. I stopped eating all kind of ship right now, Alex.

I stopped bread. Uh, I stopped anything that's white. I stopped eating. I don't eat doughnuts. I don't eat no candy. I don't need the cupcakes. I don't need I don't I don't do the rice. I don't do none of that ship no more so in the and I feel better than the doctor tell you something. No, no, it's just what they did tell him. I want to see was uh twelve point five. And you know my dad's supposed to be at a five or six so much.

Ship was like actually high and when they said you can lose this, you can lose that, and you're gonna lose this. You gotta do better, and it was like, oh, ship, So all the things that I knew that I was eating and so called myself cheating and didn't it weren't doing no good taking much shots. So now I gotta just say funk that I don't. I don't need to eat that. You know what I'm saying. I need to be here for for this, this and that. Yeah, so I'm man, it ain't even a sacrifice. Is I gotta

quit doing it? So I quit sounds good. I'm I haven't ate actually any solids. I'm on a little juice, little juice thing here. I ain't trying to plug them or nothing, but I'm on all juice cleansing for two days. And it's actually pretty tough. Um, I'm hungry. I really I want to eat a meal, right, you have to even meal. And then even with that, this is designed he drink six of these and it's designed to have all the new transfer survival to clean your body out.

So this has been through thoroughly research, and you want to clean your body clean your body, like like like black motherfucker's drank some goddamn coffee every day and you're gonna shoot in the morning. And then that's how I do it. If I don't use the bathroom in the morning, something wrong. I drank my coffee in the morning, and I have a cup at night when I wake up in the morning. I'm like a cigarette brother, because I'm about to go hit it. And and and they and

they keep you good. But it's just a lot of just a lot of stuff out there that was bad for me. And I constantly kept doing it. What about them cigarettes stuff? He just mentioned, I'm trying. I've been two days without it. I got a paxit on the dashboard because at the day was so hectic, And and my grandson in the back seat, and he just going crazy and and he won his happy meal and I'm telling him to kick back. I'm driving, I got you,

and he just going crazy. Then he started his crying ship that I don't like we ain't we ain't no cray babies in there. Sit your ass down. So he's sitting down. I'm I got him, but I'm I'm I'm going crazy. The traffic is messed up, and I'm just losing it at this point. And I pulled over and got a pack of cigarettes and I smoked one. I smoked one just to sit back and calm down. And and I got on the passenger seat and and I let I let my wife driving. And I was just

chilling and I was nothing I can do. Man, I was just losing it. And uh, the little cat, I'm fifty five years old, man, and this is a little three year old is man? He taking me, taking me through it. But it's all good. But yeah, I had to smoke a cigarety. But definitely I'm gonna quit. Uh this year, I'm done with cigarettes. I'm done with all of it. Three year old be a cry baby, man, that's what three year rolds do. No, Alex, do you hang with him just for a minute, you were sending

back to me one, Well I don't. I don't even have to deal with three year rolls anymore. I already did it three times and I will probably never do it again. And at the anniversary to you, brother, I've seen that on there. How many years you got? Twenty years, twenty years, twenty years. I ain't gonna even say his luck. But our days, nobody stayed married three years. You're getting a divorce within that time, are you separated or you know?

And my auntie got fifty one. My uncle Willie is going on forty nine, I believe years with his wife. But they don't make it like that today. It's really been like thirty years, which you count all this. Yeah, but yeah, I got married in two thousand. A man, we're in I'm scared of that. I'm scared. Left home three hundred times. I have actually left. I'm gone. That one woman thing it was, it was, it was crazy. But when you grow older, man, you just gotta say this.

It ain't for me. No more ripping and running, especially on the motorcycle, said man. Riding that motorcycle going from state to state. Man, and just being out there and and partying every day, drinking. It was non stop. It was non stop. And couldn't nobody tell me ship it was on a cracket. But anyway, all right, let's get into it. Let's let's start a little bit of fact check from last month. It's been a minute. But if you remember Lauren Noriega and I was disagreeing about that

you do in the FEDS Um, she's an attorney. Well, usually defer to the attorney out things like this, but it's true. You only do eighty five percent of your time you get sentenced in the FEDS. So for all of those that were listening to that episode and go check that out. So she was ready to use right. So that was episode thirty eight, Lauren Noriega. Go check that out if you haven't heard it. It It was actually

pretty good episode. I enjoyed it. Um, so, yeah, is the right amount of time you do in the FEDS minus any of the programs that you're eligible for that you qualify for, such as Reggie. Reggie might be getting out. Maybe you could explain this because I don't know. I know that his release date is February one, but he told you he might get out in September. He might get out earlier than that because you did a year

house arrested. If the lawyer can get that year back, Reggie be home in three months, okay, three maybe four months. But the cold thing about that in the system, any time you file from some in jail, it takes them so long to get to you. If you're trying to do appeal a year, six months, it all depends so whenever this is lawyer, when he filed the papers, it all, it all depends on how long you take them to process and say yeah and grant him that if you get that year, you'd be home. You'd be home in

a minute. Okay. So that must be some sort of program that the Feds are offering for those people who were on house arrest while they were out on bail fighting their case, so that that the ducts even more time off that he was doing, which would have which technically, if you look up Reggie Wright's release date, it's in one, but he's definitely gonna be coming home sooner than that. Alright. So also during that same episode, pro per and pro

se are definitely prevalent. Proper meaning you representing yourself. We talked about that a little bit on that episode. For some of the dudes that are locked up that don't trust the public defender and can't afford their own private attorney, they go proper. Proper pro se mean the exact same thing. So we were kind of going back and forth on these different Latin terms, but it's the same thing. Have

you ever known anyone that actually went proper? Quite a few people quite a few people, and back then it was the public pretender. No one really trusted their lawyer. The best thing was when you had a public pretender, you knew you was going to do some time. They're not fighting for you whatever, and then you you you went and you wanted to fight your own case. He was going to prison for the rest of your life, or you was gonna do the maximum time. It was

never good. Then they had the what they call them um stayed appointed. They better, They would fight for you, better than the the fucking lawyer that the state get you. So it was it was better going that way. But I've seen a lot of guys fight their own ship, and you know, I ain't up with that load that load ship the way they get to token. You're sitting there because you don't know what the funk they're saying,

and then you here, you just fighting yourself. But it's been a few guys has been successful in fighting their own cases. There's actually this one well known dude who who took his murder case to trial. You might actually know him. He's from neighborhood family Swan big evil Cleiman Johnson. Uh. In the nineties, he defended himself on I believe maybe one case for sure, possibly too and and one. But then eventually they got him on some other stuff and

they send him the death row. You ain't gonna never win, especially if you got them like that. You may, you know, all of them look like exactly and show we gotta get this motherfucker. But actually he's his death throw case is on appeal and he might be beating that case. Like this dude his real name is Cleman Johnson, big Evil from from neighborhood family swan Um. Just all the dudes that I've ran into over the years that this guy is like a legal mind even though his street cat.

You know, it's a lot of smart cash out there. Yeah, but you know, lawyers always gonna tell you don't do it. Everyone they don't do it because they think they're smarter than you. Let me tell you one time I was evicting a tenant from a building that I owned, and usually the lawyers do that for you, But to evicted tenant, it's really simple. You just fell out a piece of paper. You go down there and you fill out the pay the cost, and you stand on the line and you

get it stamped. And then you have someone serve it to the tenant. I did all of it. Everything was cool. A month later, you get your court date. The tenant came to court. The judge looked at my paperwork and said, oh, Mr Alonso, I'm gonna have to dismiss this case. Uh, you fill this out wrong. And what I did was I added the late fee on top of the regular rent. So let's say the rent was seven hundred dollars and

the late fee was thirty. I put that she owed me seven thirty and you're not allowed to demand late fee in the state of California. So he dismissed the whole case. So I had to redo the whole thing. Wait another month. The attendant got to sit in there. So I called up my lawyer and said, uh, where'd I mess up? He said, you messed up by not hiring me. That's what That's what you're getting for trying

to do it yourself. But yeah, you're not allowed to put the late fee on the damn that you couldn't get it took you another month, so yeah, six weeks sometio sometimes, but yeah, just a little minor thing that I didn't know. You're good because if you don't get

your ass out right now, something to happen. Oh no, I'm not trying keep that as I know, you're not trying the police all up and you've been you know, it's it's the worst feeling when you got somebody in your building and a month go by no rent, two months go by no rent, and after the third month you're like, all right, I gotta I gotta looking at you and they and they don't care, because man, what

can you do. You gotta make me we take it to court, or I go to court and can get another ninety days upen here And the lawyer for the tenant was laughing and smiling at me, like ha ha ha, that's what you get. But hey, you know, so yeah, in that instance, I should have went to the lawyer. I would have saved some money. I would have got the tenant out sooner. I would have been able to re rent the apartment out. You know, that's still so different from court lawyers and that type of ship being

in there. Your hat, your life is in the hands up somebody that don't know jackshit about you. But somebody to listen and look at this people, piece of paper and shay, okay, I got this man, you know all that about me by just reading that and then going there and represent you, and then to sit there and watch this lawyer not say nothing to defend you. Why the d A over here trying to revenue a new holding? Yass?

And then the judge is listening to them and not us. So, man, I didn't see some cats get up and say, I don't want this motherfucker no more. I don't I don't want him as my lawyer. I need another lawyer. You fire, and they got to give it to you. But I mean, just going through that, man, you have no win. Yeah, I mean, criminal court is much different than what I was. What I was talking about the civil court ain't no lives on the line. And civil court it's just about money,

that's all it is. It's about money. Who, what was what and how much? All right? So? Um, there was another topic that we we covered last month on that episode. I brought up this public urineation and sex offending, right, So, Lauren Noriega didn't really know much about it. So I looked it up and I found out there's three states that can actually charge you with a sex offense if you're caught urinating in public that's Arizona, California in Georgia. But in Georgia you have to do it in the

presence of a minor. So if you're if you just happen to be taking a piss and there's a minor right there, you know you can get charged with um a sex offense. You don't really focu now they don't. They don't because there's a whole bunch of motherfucker's doing that. Yeah, I mean, I've never heard of someone getting charged. But if they really want to press it, and then you're that person that they've been wanting to put away, they probably don't even know. Well, it's a PC three fourteen.

But in order for it to be charged as a sex offense, you have to already have been uh offending before. So um it can be a misdemeanor or a felony. When you're urinating in public, that's what what we talked that the wobbler. But if you've already had a previous offense or you've been to the pend before, you got a felony conviction and you're being in public, that's indecent exposure. And if they really want to make the issue of it, UM they can turn into a sex case. But I

don't know anybody that that's happened to. But if anyone out there is listening and you know of somebody that had got a sex case, put on them a sex offense case, put on them from urinating in public, I'd like to know. But apparently Arizona, California and Georgia that it is crazy if they say that cut too much. How can you catch a sex offending sex offender case?

There's no nobody around. You shouldn't your name in the in the in the grass because it's it's technically it's called indeed some exposure and public lewdness, that's what they call it. Indecent exposure, public lewdness. That's crazy. I mean, but all of these, all of this ship is designed. The wife is out of anyway to get something on you. You know what I'm saying. I've been wanting to talk about this for a long time. You know, my nephew

I was talking about shows back. You know, he's in jail now, you know, and and trying to keep him out of jail when you can't chastise him, you know, is a motherfucker. You know, here we are black man trying to raise our kids and you can't put your hands on them. How do you How do you chestise your son if you can't touch him. You gotta fold your hands and look at him. Me that ship that don't work. No more, talking don't work, So they don't.

They need to They need to kill that law talking about you came with your keys is but it's designed. If my kid is bad and he out there in the street sucking up, now we got him, we can put him in we can. We can put you in jail for stopping us from putting the tag on your kid, stopping us from letting us know who your kid is. You got all the babies you want, but they're gonna be recognized sooner or later because they know they got to come through the system. You know what I'm saying.

And it's crazy and and now he's trying to see, uh this want a good idea, It's too fucking late for that. You don't have. That's why they got probation. That's why when you get out the penitential, you gotta tell that's when you you when you're in the Feds, they can come and do whatever. They won't come in your house when they want the whole nine. We got you, We own you now, Okay, So I know you're saying.

So you're saying that the system has prevented us from disciplining our kids at a young age for the purposes of making for them to either get incarcerated and and turning turning our kids over into the system, taking our kids, taking them away from us. Now they control our kids. And when I say, they control our kids if we can't discipline them, and and and and do this. Monty got five kids from she she she taken from the

adopting whatever they call it ship. The little boys say to her, you came with me, I called my social worker. You're going to jail. That's child abuse. You know what I told Monty, get them to motherfucker's right back, because if you came, whoop him. And they know this boy only seven years old, seven five, and she had and she took all four of the boys, the four and

she got the girl, which is our cousin. But these kids, the social workers tell them that they can't whoop you if they if you know, you can't get a whooping for for being bad. I can do whatever I want to. And my nephew, wind up like that. I told my sister, gave him everything he wanted to keep you mind of the system within. You're tolder. You can't you can't do nothing to me. I tell him people, you hit me and you're going to jail. So my hand is time.

But there's a whole generation of people out there that believe that physical discipline and your kids doesn't do anything white people. I think there's more than just white people. I think people from all different cultures and background. I think it's more of a generation rather than a race and say they got it different. Child abuses, child abuse, I know that right off hand. But I'm talking about

discipline and your kid in the right way. If your kids stand up and calling them mama, bit, I'm gonna I'm with your ass. But is there a fine line between proper physical discipline and then abuse? You don't take You don't because your father, I'm start to interrupt. Your father probably thought he was disciplining, you know, when he really knew he was When my father and I had

a different story. My father went through this, I wasn't his son type of ship, and my mother cheated on him with another man, and and I'm in your household. You bought a house for five kids and your wife. You you you you take me to school if you're doing this, you you pops. I get on the back of the motorcycle and what's going from Compton to l A to go to school? And he worked out that way. So it was just certain things. But he never had a conversation with me whatsoever. But back to what I

was saying. If you whoop a kid and you have to draw blood from that child, you know you overdoing it. You know, no doubt about it. If you take anything that's in your perimeter, anything that's uh reachable, and discipline that kid with it, you know you out of line. You should not whoop your kids under the influence of any motherfucking thing, because that's gonna alter everything. That's gonna pump you up. Your journaline going, and you are a

NonStop weapon. That's what I had. I had a motherfuck in my life that didn't give a fuck that that that it wasn't a whooping. I say. He beat me up every time he handled his business. You know, whether I tried to fight back or not. You know, I'm a youngster, but growing up and getting older. You can't do that no more, you know what I'm saying. So

this is where the punk move came in. Now that the years shot my little brother seventy eight somewhere around there, it was time for him to go because I ain't controlling this situation. And these motherfucker's got guns now and they hanging out with kids, they you know, doing anything. Excuse me. So he tried to sell a house. What took us a court and the only thing that saved the house that we just we we lived in from

seventy four up until now. The judge said, Mrs McDonald, do you think that I'm gonna put this lady in five children out on the street just so you can sell some house and get some sell a house and get some money. So my granddaddy gave him money and bought him out, and he went by his business. You feel me, But you can't put your hands especially with no reasons. If I funked up, I sucked up, Yeah, you would say he was just come home and just

go off. He would come from the motorcycle club and and it isn't come here, you know what I'm saying. But I understand, and I know why he was acting like that because every time he looked at me, he looked at he's saw my mama with another man. But it ain't my funt. I mean he used to. He used to get in hurt too. Didn't understand why she stayed are and dealt with it. Ain't that much fucking love in the world. That's why I can say I

don't hit women because it used a bit. If you beat up women and then when you you in an altercation with a man, you let another man call you a bit and you choose to walk away? What makes what? What? What makes? Let me calm down? Well, I definitely believe that you gotta have a little bit of corporal punishment in a child's life. You gotta tap that ass from time to time. I did it with all three of my kids, but after they got about twelve eleven twelve thirteen,

I stopped doing it. You know that now they're really old enough to know what's what's right and what's wrong. Down down. My father never never took me nowhere. We never we never sat down like we're doing that, or I had a conversation watching the movie. I was never in this presence like that. When when when he came home. It was him that one TV in the house back in the days. That was him suffered his son. Uh Carol o Connor. Uh the what's what's all in the family,

the Jeffersons. We had to watch the city he wanted to watch, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't able until my Auntie came and visit. When he wanted to go out and do his thing. Man, my my family was crazy. So let's say all all that's over and done. My whole thing is everything that he had done to me, I would not do to my sons. My sons get a conversation. My boys both been to college. You know what I'm saying. My oldest son is raised in his twelve year old daughter on his own. You know what

I'm saying. My son, Jalen is going back to school this coming Monday, you know, finishing his you know, doing his thing. Um, I would never put my hands on him like that, you know what I'm saying. I would never punch on him until I see them bleed. I would never just I mean the things that that that dad happened. You know, I still walk around with the scars. You know what I'm saying, you know, I got all of this. Here is him hold on your head. There,

it's nine stitches on this one. And as they going right here, and I think he told me once that they questioned some of that once and y'all just kind of down's. But when he when they asked him how did it happen, he said, oh, him and my other son was playing karate and he uh hit his head on the end of addressing. But I got two gasses. So that means that if they would have knew the full facts of that, they probably would have had called the police. When I looked up at him, looked that

he gave I don't even say that. Yeah, because he I get you back this, we're gonna be We're gonna get down again, you know what I'm saying. So I ain't ready to go through that. But sometimes those those people were so naive to believe that that happened from the yeah, you know, you didn't say that. He didn't let moms go. So on this particular one, when I got in the house, my mind was made up. When he was driving me from the hospital, I'm not staying

here no more. I went out to the window, my room window and I walked from Compton too in San Pedro, and I fucked up because I passed up my grandfather's eighty person hooper off Central and by going over there, my my cousin called him and he came back and got me. The whole time, it's I'm pent against the goddamned passenger door, motherfucker's and stupid bastards and little At that point, it ain't hav no more. Everybody that came in my face that wouldn't him was a motherfucker, was

a bit, It was a suck my dick. It was something. But I mean, I just I couldn't take it no more because and take it. And and my way of getting him back was to be a funk up, you know what I'm saying. So you know, they need to to to ease up on that moving your kids ass or you know, or you will go to jail. Bullshit is taken away from us. Well, society has definitely moved away from from hitting kids. But you know it's in the scriptures, man. Uh, he who spares the rod spoils

the child. Man. But but you know, and if you're out there as a Christian and you you claim to be a Christian and you practice in Christianity, you have to support, you know, physical discipline of your kids. Right man, look at this. If I'm raising my sons to get killed by the police without a warning, that's worse than me discipline in my own child. Y'all don't know this kid. These police officers that shooting these kids don't know him. These kids is going to jail under false pretenses. Some

of them need to be there something. Some of my family need to be in the motherfucker. I ain't gonna sugarcoat none of them. But man, I tell you, I'm I can't raise my son. I don't want to see my nephew get killed by a police officer, you know what I'm saying. Or by the way I used to live, so it's totally different now now just because I'm humbled or trying to humble myself, I can't even get across to that cat. You know what I'm saying. Uh, good

to those I mean, I really don't care. But the man that did that to me is dead and been dead since two thousand one. Tell you the truth. I went to his funeral in Texas because my grandfather asked me to and I stayed outside smoking cigarettes and having a drink, and that's how I celebrated that life. I knew that would ever be problem for me again, and I was good. But everybody else ain't that goddamn lucky. You know what I'm saying, or letting, letting that that

person is whooping your ass like that. Now they see that you carry guns and you you got guns hitting up under your bed. Oh, it's trying to leave. This motherfucker might kill me, you know what I'm saying. Now, it's trying to bounce. I mean, it's some coward that ship. But I mean, you know, for one, you ain't never been a father. You ain't never been a father to me. So if that would have came to it, and he thought he can come up in that motherfucking whoop my

ass again on Jesus Christ, on my mama. Great, Yeah, to kill him, Yeah, to kill because it ain't happening no more. Feel me, man, I wish that on nobody. Nobody. It was like it was just hell every day. Yeah, it was definitely crossing the line. Um. That was definitely abused. That wasn't disciplined. But they need to help us with with with this law and your kids need to be disciplined. Ye, definite.

I was just listening to this brother tell a story about his father whipping his ass, like one of the worst beatings he got from his father, and the mom tried to intervene, and moms was like, no, don't do that, man, And he turned around to his wife and was like, if I don't do it, the police is gonna do it. Like he really was giving him a Yeah, it was. It was probably a severe discipline, but the son told in a way where it came from loving parents and

this and this is where everybody got to understand. It's not just it could be that one time where I know, I gotta do this for my to my son so he can see. But something that happens constantly or when just out of a wham because you come home loaded, it's a total different thing. Now. If you if you're up in the house under the under that roof and and and you getting your ass beat up. I'm talking

about what about stitchy chords, registraps and whatever. In a way, if you, if you listen, take that from me, I'm gonna beat your ass with a house shoe. I'm gonna beat your ass with with with high heels you you know what I'm saying, and and and and and busting your head open and giving you black guys and busting your motherfucking mouth. Then, man, you got a problem. That ain't that? Ain't that ain't showing that I got you. Son. I'm only whipping your ass because you're bad and I

don't want you to get killed. There's some motherfucking demon that got a problem with itself and coming home and taking it out on on on on on me on something else that that he feels good by, you know. And and man, you just came, you came. You can't do that. That's not no father. That's not a loving parent. So when I when I see those videos too, and I'm du oh, your son, you want to be a game banger, put your dupes up, Let me and bop man.

That's that's man and man ship. That's a love. Yeah, But that ain't no every day wake your way that's up like you were the motherucking cang food movie and ship. I only have. I only have one memorable beating that my dad gave me. Just one. That's it, and it probably be considered abuse, but it was coming from a place of love for ship. I didn't believe, believe, but I had. I had some bruises and some welts and some but my father did use a stick, a broomstick,

use the broomstick, but didn't draw any blood. But hit me with that broomstick at least ten times. I was I was laying on my back, I was laying on my bed and he came in and it was unexpected, just came out of nowhere. I mean, I know why it happened. You know. I got caught stealing some bikes that I should have been stealing. Um. But that's the only beating that I can remember that my dad gave me.

That was painful. Man. I used to go to jail every Wednesday, lost madrainas I've been in Los Virginia so much and setting that mother fucker so many times. I still I'm fifty five years old and I still know the address by heart. Down California. Yeah, sent to eighty five Downey, California School Road, Old School River Road. I used to act out so much at school. I couldn't. I couldn't. I wouldn't comfortable because I looked at everybody different.

I looked at everybody as if if I'm looking at you and you got a smirk on your face only laughing at me. They know my story, you know what I'm saying. And I just reacted to certain things, and and and I was doing stupid ship just because of it. It sucked me up for a long time, A long long time um respecting women. I couldn't respect women because I didn't respect my mom's beau us. My mom set in on some of those asked whoopers just that they call and and let him bam. You know, I think

you know your mama should protected. Your father is supposed to be your protector. You know what I'm saying. If a motherfucking animal, a bear, know how to take care of their cubs and willing to kill a motherfucking predator for their kid, we already should know that. We already should know that, but we don't do that. She I mean, if you love somebody that motherfucker much where this motherfucker can can just just rip your child apart. I didn't

feel nothing, and it took a long time. It took me to go to prison to really respect my mama. Listening to you know, the older guys in there, you know, talking to me and telling me to steal your mama. You know, you know women, you know feed into this and that. But my mama had gangstand too. She shot the motherfucker in the ear. You know what I'm saying, you thank you for to come in. I guess she had enough. You thank you for to come in and do this. She said, in the chair with a tie

over her leg, with the gun up under. And when he came in and talking ship, she let him have it. You know what I'm saying, Why you didn't do that for me? You know what I'm saying, why you didn't do that for me? So man, my mother was and I swear to got to everybody, my whole family, and anybody would take. My mother was every b word, every kiss, my ass, fucky hole was everything. And I was out there in the streets just doing whatever. It didn't matter.

I didn't care. I was. I was headed down that road. I was. I was trained with no brakes. So I went to prison. And when I went to prison, and you know, I told my my my probation officer, they had me on this gang probation bullshit, and you can't be around no game bangers. When the fund is y'all to tell me who I can't be around. Y'all. Don't hang him, y'all, don't. I don't sleep at you out. So I wouldn't go to I wouldn't go and see my probation officer. No more. So if you don't go

see them, they're gonna come see you. Come give me, I said, it only got like two three weeks left on this ship. Fucking let him give me the three weeks in the county jail. The motherfucker gave me all that in years something in prison. So going to prison was a truly wake up call for me. Talking to those guys. And if you don't respect your mama, how can you respect the woman that you want to marry, that you want to bury your child? All that I

understood that absorbent. So I came home with the the intend to do everything I can for my mother to make up for the lost time and the disrespectful ship that I've done and said to her. And I did that, and I did that, but it comes with a whole bunch of other ship. You know what I'm saying. I was I was trying to be remorseful for the ship I did and she was holding on to the ship that I said and done. But I don't think she was ready to accept the responsibilities of her the part

that she played in our situation. It wouldn't only me getting my asswhoop. You feel me? So, you know, watching another man beat your mama, I don't give a funk if your daddy or not, you're gonna try to defend your mama, you know what I'm saying, and going through that casting ass swooping, you know what I'm saying, Uh, getting the ship kicked out of you. You know what

I'm saying. So it was it was this is this a this a long story, and I don't want to bore y'all with it, but you know, definitely they need to to to take that leash off of of of our kids because they're not raising them. They don't have to bury them, you know what I'm saying. And by them having that, our kids think that they're untouchable, untouchable and if if if that's the case, you might as they might as well raise these shows because conversation ain't

doing it. And in this I know I noticed for a fact, conversation it's not gonna save your kid alrighty um. I think that's a great sort of conversation about the importance of discipline. Yeah, we definitely gotta sometimes put hands on our kids, especially when they're young and they don't know right from wrong the way they're supposed to. But I got one last fact check here from last month. Remember I mentioned that Jackie Lacy, the Los Angeles District

attorney that she assisted, that she's only charged ye. Well, yeah, Well it's an election, so she's probably gonna she might lose her position. But that one cop. She only charged one cop out of five plus officer involved shootings that resulted in the death of a person, and she charged an l A p D officer named Henry so Lee who shot and killed a twenty year old guy named Salomie Rodriguez Uh in the parking lot of a club

and Pomona in March two thousand and fifteen. Apparently, this cop and this young kid, this twenty year old, had exchanged some verbal exchanges between the two, and the officer at the time chased him down and shot him in the parking lot, killed him and Uh then he fled. I guess he knew he was in trouble. He fled,

went to Mexico with his dad. Um the Mexican authorities arrested him there extra devided him back to Los Angeles and he's facing he's he hasn't went to trial yet, so it's been it's gonna be wow five years because we're in now. This happened in between. That is less your time for him. Yeah, well he's going to trial at some point this year. And and he's the only officer. He shot this kid, this kid four times by the way.

And what they're doing, I can tell you a little bit of what they're gonna do, is they're gonna try to throw Mr. Rodriguez under the bus and said he was a gang member, he was this, he was that, even though from what all the witnesses, what this officer did was clearly wrong. But you know, he's fighting for his life, so he's got to come in there and throw the dude under the bus. But everybody got skeletons in their closet. I don't give an if you're a

game banger or not. Everybody got skeletons in their closet. And what we gotta understand that all cops ain't bad. All that ain't bad. But the ones that you got out there, the ones that you got out there running as a gang like a game. Why do we gotta We don't know which one is good or bad. And this is why we got a big problem out here. We don't know which one gonna come and be nice and let you go and about your bayard gonna be the one to throw their pistol on the passenger side

and say you reach for a gun. We don't know. We don't know. But police are just like us. They're human. They fuck up, and they got Tennessee's, they got the mothers, crooks and gangsters just like we are. Yeah. In fact, um, let's let's go to one of our first news stories these officers in New Jersey. This just happened January. The FBI has arrested several police officers in New Jersey for stealing evidence from uh for um, drugs and all kinds

of things. One of the guys is a sergeant. Michael Chef, forty nine years old from Paterson, New Jersey, was arrested for civil rights violations, filing false records and routinely conducting illegal searches on people suspected of possessing large amounts of cash and drugs, and I believe that they they've arrested uh several earlier this month on all kind of felonies

just on him and shell. How many people that you think that he didn't pull it over, found money, drugs and whatever, only give up a little bit of this and that because I ain't gonna say nothing on how much dope it was. I ain't gonna say nothing about the money. That's how fucking fault. But how many times this motherfucker' haven done this? And he's forty nine years old, he's been years, he's a vet. Yeah, and and and the longer he's been doing it, the more he's comfortable

with it. And he ain't by hisself. He's the eighth highest ranking police officer arrested in this corruption scandal in Patterson, New Jersey. And UM, I mean, it's just it's just never ending, and people just people don't want to believe that this is going on. Every single week, I can pull up another article of officers getting charged, and the only reason why they don't believe it is because it

ain't happened to them yet. And when it happened to them, that's where they're gonna be like, oh my god, oh my goun non fun that. You know what I'm saying. You got people dressing up to be police. You got police officers raping. Mom. I'm sitting here looking at a paper where a police officer, uh was was phone doing a dead lady? Right? He rubbing on their titties? What is wrong with this dude? Man? We got man, they need to do a check on these people. Man, why

is he touching a dead woman? Why is he doing this? He thought his body cam was off. Well that's another that's another officer l A l A p D. Now, that's that's bringing it back home. This just happened last month. L A p D Officer David row House, twenty seven years old, was caught fondling a corpse, sexually fondling, not just touching, sexually fondling, of course, I believe, putting his hands on the titties of some dead woman. And how did they catch him, James, How did they bust us

do through his body cams? Through his own camera? He thought he turned it off. Well, no, he did turn it off. But but when you turn it off, it's still going two more minutes and he got caught. Now, you gotta be a dumb dumb af just you already know everyone knows that you turn the camera off, it's still gonna record for a little while. This dude turn the camera off and started doing his thing that even

turning it off and doing that, it's one thing. You You are a police officer and you have a dead woman by you, up under you, standing you, laying there, and the only thing on your mind is to grab her breast to rub on them. She must have been finding them up, she must have been finding has some business. I don't know. If you don't think about that, I can't be ready because because she must have been fine,

and you're a police officer, you don't do that. It's certain things you don't do just because you're police officers. It's certain things I wouldn't say just because I'm a police officer. I wish Reggie was here on this one. I swear to God, I wonder what he would say. According to the d raw, Hoss touched the dead woman's breasts while he was alone. He was filling on those titties. Man.

And without that, without that, with him thinking that that cam ain't on, he and clear nobody would have never knew this if it window such thing of those those body camps. So just like with these these false police reports and all and all these guys in jail, you gotta thing, you know, police gotta win. The d A gonna listen to the police. The jury gonna listen to the police ninety percent of the time. So we we are fighting a losing battle, you know what I'm saying

with these police. Good thing we got the phones and we can record all this ship but sometimes that don't even matter. Well, the chief of the l a p D has already throwing him under the bus. Uh, Michael. Michael Moore said this incident is extremely disturbing and does not represent the values of the l a p D. But he's only looking at well, I don't know how much time he should get for it, but the max

that he's looking at three years in prison. Well, I mean, I am you touching the dead buddy, Okay, give him three years. He got to do something. Well the three years is the max. He ain't gonna get the max, but yeah, he needs treatment. Yeah, prison, you need to be here. Just think if he ain't a cop no more, you better check his DNA because he might be doing some crazy shit out there. Get his DNA right now. Well, they're going to examine his entire rest record, his entire career.

He's only got a three year career, so it's not like he's been Um he's not a veteran or anything like that. And just how many people you haven't been in contact with? How many women you didn't chearch and you you can't search me exactly? Um, it is disturbing playing playing with a dead body? Um what they call in that word for that? They got a scientific word for. Yes, I did necrophilia. I know somebody that that inbomed the bodies and was having sex with him. Um, a friend

of ours. I don't want to put her name out there, but Tanya, I'm gonna say Tanya ain't gonna give her whole last name. Works for the for the cemetery. And the guy that they had employed doing embombing would mess with the dead bodies. So yeah, it's it's people out there that's that's straight filed like that. But this guy right here as a police and I would make examples

of these people. When you get caught doing shit that I do as a police officer, they should even if they gave them their own penitentiary, let them kill each other and care knives and they on their own yard. But I put every police on the same goddamn you are they thought they was gangsters and and leave them there. But that two years, that one year for for all this other bull ship, the ship that I do, and you give me life. There ain't no different from the

next man, and and and oarlish paper ship shows it. Well, I don't. I didn't want to. Um, I wanted to talk just a little bit more about the cops in Patterson, New Jersey. There's one incident that the FEDS found out that they illegally pulled over a driver on suspicion of drug violations and end up stealing all his money. They

just took his money. Um, well, there's different amounts according to this FBI indictment, but some of them are One suspect told investigators that he had twenty seven hundred dollars in the safe, and that same veteran officer, that forty nine year old officers chef uh reportedly seized it during the search. You know. So I don't know how the FBI got on to this, but somebody was obviously telling

and the FBI investigating. Here's the part that disturbs me the most is that it always takes the FEDS to investigate these local cops when the other cities around Patterson, New Jersey, they already here, oh, such and such as doing this, officer chef is doing that, and then the state of New Jersey they don't do anything about it. They don't investigate. It's got to come from Washington, d C. All the way in d C got exposed it because

it's it's always a cover up. New Jersey doesn't want to say, oh, yeah, we got officers in Patterson, New Jersey that is crooked. They don't want to do that, so they allowed to continue until until the fans find out about it. And uh, you know, this is a this is a huge corruption scandal that no one's talking about. Just so embarrassing that that you got police officers doing this. But what makes them better than you? This is the

whole thing. This is what people don't talk about. And this is why you've got a lot of people scared the police, because you don't know who you're working when they pull up on you, you don't know what what his attitude is you know what I'm saying. And people, I mean, you know they're taking lives, they're still in they know they ain't getting enough money, they ain't making enough money doing what they're doing. But don't take my money, my drug money. Don't leave my money alone. Well, I'm

just being funny. Five of the officers that were arrested in Patterson, New Jersey already are entering plea agreements. I don't blame, and they're gonna be sentenced um later this month in Newark, New Jersey. So I guess the other four are gonna go to trial. But you think they should be put in a prison where everybody else is there are on their own? Nah, I know. You know it's the obligation of the institution to keep the inmates safe. So to deliberately put them on the public a GP.

If you put pedophiles and all that ship on the in GP, why they can't go Well, they well, they try to keep the pedophiles on the s n y yard most of the time. If if you think like a criminal and get caught, you should be punished as one. Right. Yeah, they'll never put a convicted police office, but they should. What I'm saying is they should your life ain't shipping like just like mine at this point, and everybody should get everybody should see that we man, the law is

not equal. It's not it's bullshit. Okay, Well you said that some of these officers aren't paid that well, uh, officer chef. The forty nine year old sergeant was making a hundred thirty four thousand a year because sergeant, yeah, you know that's enough to survive if he ain't getting it all at one time. You know, he's getting it monthly, and then you you might have uh, some child report going on over there, you might have another woman on

the other shod of you know what I'm saying. Mortgage did show departments you have to get down like that. And then by them knowing that they police, man, we can get away with this ship, so they do it. I ain't no goddamn police, so I can't be in the mind. But I'm telling you luck they answers up with with all the other niggas that that act like them. If you if you're a police officer and robber, goddamn bank, put them in the same goddamn said with a bank, Robert,

I don't give a fuck. Well, I think like that. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't feel any sympathy. Come on, Reggie for a cop that has to go on on a yard like that. But I don't expect the prison to do it. No, I don't. They're not gonna do it. But that's what I'm saying. Just like in the county jail, they have high power for all the celebrities and and those high profile cases. They put you on high power. You're in a single cell. You don't have access to

anyone else. If I killed five people and get convicted, they're gonna put me on death row. If he killed five people and get convicted, why he can't go on death row? I'm on it? So what what? Why throw ain't good enough for him? Just because he was a cop? No, but he was a cop and committed his crime is worse than mine. I'm a motherfucker. If they're just shooting people just because he had to killing people knowing is wrong because he's a police officer. You don't kill five motherfucker's.

You don't swoll to protect. I just killed mother fuckers because I don't know him. Well, death throws, that's a whole another topic. I'm just saying if I killed five I was using it as an example. If I killed five people and he killed five people, why do I gotta go to death row? And he WHI definitely ain't good enough for him. Come on, man, double standard. Just because you're a police don't mean you're you're not different. When you cross this line, then that makes you equal

and they should treat them as equals. I agree, but you know that's our system. Yeah, all right, So we gotta at least briefly talk about one of the most thanks to moves that has been done in the last couple of weeks, last a few days, really, and I say it's gangster, even though it's governments and politicians involved in this. But President Donald Trump allowed for a drone

strike to kill an actual official from Iran. You know, it's not even about someone that that's on a terrorist list or someone that's uh with al Kaeda or the tally bomb. This is an Iranian official. He is part of the government and he's a major general, right, I know, politic kind of cat and I don't get into that ship anyway. Yeah. The only thing when I see Donald Trump right here, Donald Trump, I think Donald Trump is on some Obama ship and everything he's doing. He's trying

to prove a point. I don't think Donald Trump shouldn't have even been there. Ain't never served, no military, no brand whatsoever. And here he is killing motherfucker's and he's gonna he talks about Obama should have did it. I was gonna do it, but Obama didn't do it. But now he didn't. Yeah, but he talking ship everything that what he needs to do. His mind, his business. We was talking about this earlier. Mine your business, run your ship, how you want to run it. Don't blame Obama or

say it is all this and everybody else's fault. Many they funked up with this dude, putting this dude in there. Um, I don't know, man, I'm just gonna mind my business. Bombs come over here. I got a building I'm building and I'm gonna be way way deep. Well, I think the killing of this general that actually puts all of our lives at danger because you don't know when when

the average civilian is gonna become a target. Uh, and actually deployed about a dozen missiles to land on American places in Iraq and retaliation for killing the general on January three. And even though those missiles aren't gonna do any damage, most of them are probably not gonna do any damage. Um Iran is pissed. It's shipped to come.

Because if you've got somebody taking care of ship and they're really out out there like like like all of these other motherfucker's and then you go kill him what you're killing for because he don't want to give you something, because they are giving up something. I don't know it, and I ain't know politics. You I ain't gonna coming on the ship. I ain't into it all, I said,

Donald trumpet full of ship. Whatever they say about him, women know if it's true, you know, they just they just they'll say he just did something that's terrible, or he's a threat to the US or whatever to excuse away the killing. But you can't just be killing officials from other countries. And yeah he did. And like you said,

Barack Obama passed up on it. I even think George Bushed the second passed up on it, you know, and that guy was kind of like a war monger to a certain degree, but he realized, okay, that's an official. Yeah he didn't push the button just because he knew he can. Though. You know, Donald Trump is different. Donald Trump is doing ship because he can do it. And these people notice, they noticed. Motherfucker, he don't launch his mind and he's mad that people don't don't suck up

to his bullshit. You see what I'm saying. So it's time, man. I ain't with Donald Trump. I ain't with Donald Trump. Well, I think that our country is not safer because of that. You know, they got sleeper cells here in the United States that can become flip on us at any moment. They can go downtown l A Vegas, New York and decide to do something to the to the citizens here because they're not happy about what's going on in the

Middle East. Man, get your kids and like I told Brian here, if they if they come talking about getting mine, better act like Mohammad Ali. I'm going to jail. I ain't serving ship, ain't fighting for ship, ain't doing ship. And I say that because I don't think it's right what he's doing. You know, my country, bullshit, it ain't my country when I come back to this, motherfucker, it ain't my country while I'm in here and you got starving, Uh motherfucker's out here on a skin roll that that

served this country and they're homeless. You know what I'm saying, They're not gonna treat you right well then, and I wouldn't go And I'm not going to fight for no Donald Trump when his him and his sons considered at the house and play golf. It ain't it ain't it ain't fair. Well, all you people, all your media folks that want to talk about gangster stuff and the stuff that happens on the streets of Los Angeles or New

York or New Jersey, this is gangster stuff too. Just because someone is a leader of a country does not get out of the realm of being gangster. And this has being gangster at the highest level, you know, killing officials, dropping bombs, using drone strikes to to kill a person. That's gonna make our country even more unsafe than it already is. There's no need to be going at it with Iran. There's no needs for for General Kasam So Solimani to have been assassinated like this. If that's the case,

then you need to drop a bomb on China. Go drop a bomb on North Korea. Kim John Hill has done ten times and more stuff than Major General Kasim Salami. I bet you, I bet you Donald Trump don't drop a bomb on North Korea. Yeah, he know mess with you know not. And they have been telling name who the funk with. But I think he funked up when

he did. Just though he did absolutely. Now here's a question if he gets re elected in after this debacle, that means the American people love the stuff that he's doing. If he gets re elected, now, I ain't gonna say that they'd be shotting this down, but I'll tell you this, better get your guns and shipped together because racism is gonna shoot so sky high. They is gonna be getting popped on on the freeway. But here's what's so gangster

about what he did. I think he dropped this, just did this strong strike to take attention away from the impeachment. You know they call that wag the dog. Well all this is going on over here, let me draw the attention over there. But that shouldn't it shouldn't it should it should uh speed up this situation? Well, I think the headlines there now you don't hear too much. People are talking about the impeachment right now. It's all about put on CNN. I know you probably don't watch CNN,

Fox News or MSNBC. They ain't talking about an impeachment. They're talking about Iran and going to war with Iran and the missile strikes. So let me ask you this. Do they think what he did was was a fucking about time? It depends on what channel you watch. Was it necessary? It depends on Donald Trump said that's fake news, Channel e Levin and General channel four. All this ship

is fake news, So seeing in is fake news. I think most experts, most geo politicians, think that was It was a bad idea to do it, you know, but you're gonna find a few the ones that on Fox News that are gonna say, yeah, you know, it was. It was It needed to be done because this guy posed a threat to the U S which is probably not even true. We don't know. But this is this is the real gangster stuff that's going on in our society. Um, these decisions that Donald Trump made to kill a general,

this is crazy to me. You know, imagine if another country dropped the bomb on a US general, it would it would be it's completely unacceptable exactly, And and and we've been doing this ship for the longest. We've been taking ship from people from the longest. Man, I'm telling you, man, he's just cowboys's cowboys and in this mother Alright, well real. I got a couple of questions from some of our listeners and viewers. Let's go with this first question from

ce Ramsey on Apple iTunes. He asked, what do you think about the commercialization of gang culture with the rappers, the NBA players, and the artists sort of embracing the gang culture. And the first thing that comes to mind when I think of l A gang culture is like the style and our dress are clothes like the white teas everyone wears, or the Nike Cortez or sometimes you might think about the cars that that people drive and how it's being mimicked around the world. You know, in

Japan they low riding regals and cutlasses. In Japan, they get them regals and cutlages from here. Yeah, but but they're mimicking everything that l A did in terms of what we were doing in the eighties. Out out there in those places they don't have nothing to do. They don't have I mean, it ain't California. We got things to do, places to go and and go see different ships. They don't have that. So seeing the low ridders and and what it what it does, the attention to women

and all that ship when it rings, they do it. Now. Back in the days in the eighties, they were coming out here and they were they were spending forty fifties seventy thousand dollars on the low riders, multiple low riders, and putting them on the train and taking them home. And then when they come out here, they get their tennis shoes, they shirts, they hats and all of that ship.

They were vibe that ship in Bulking, then go back and sell it for for for five times what it was what it cost them here and and and they jump on it with no questions. And and those are some rich cats out there, and and they really they really into our culture. And then you know the low rider thing when they when they came, they came hard. They so many cats was building low riders just to sell them Red hydraulics was was was one of the places they was going to body's cars. And the money

didn't matter. Excuse me. And now you got everybody on it, you know what I'm saying. So the game part I say this. You got so many people talking about gags and and and how gang members are and how what the ship that they're doing, and they're publicizing the ship on TV, Instagram all over the place. I don't think they should. Um, if you ain't talking about what the police did or kill this guy that guy, why why publicize this bullshit? It only it only pumps you up.

You see you who it on TV and his own and cracking. You see this and that on TV. It's we gotta get these motherfucker's visuppersion fact. And I don't think they should show that ship. I mean, they are so broad with it nowadays. You see men kissing men on TV, on on on sitcoms and ship come on, man, and then you ask yourself, why is these kids flipping out? Man? We are living in the times of revelations right now. If you ain't got the revelationship, you need to read

revelations because that's where we act. You know what I'm saying. And somebody has said Tupaket says something. Man, be doing something, and you won't be raising your babies no more because everybody gave you ain't having no more kids. Everybody niggas fuckings. They gotta stop. Well stop well, some some of the gang culture here in l A has has made it

all the way to corporate America. Do you remember the commercial that Leia Coca, who was like the CEO of Chrysler, and Snoop Dogg did a commercial together and they were playing golf and this is a Chrysler commercial for a major automobile company. And you got Snoop Dogg doing all his his gangshit in the commercial. And now when I was years ago, I mean like cripping, like like he was acting on you know, he was acting like Snoop. It's with this old man that's the CEO of a

car company. Gang banging has become an industry. Gang banging has become you know, it's profitable. People are getting paid off of it. You know what I'm saying, Well, what about Snoop and Martha Stewart doing a cookbook. I mean they cooking, I mean, you know, their quip walking and gangbanging. I mean he cooking man teach his own how you

get your money. But when you start game banging and showing the ship and and and you already know the kids, I want to see this type of ships it's just something to fuck your mind up and keep you thinking and set a certain kind of way, and we ain't paying attention to it. Everything has a reason for it. And they shouldn't show this type of ship on TV. You know what I'm saying. What happens in the street,

that had happened in the street, it fade away. But if you if you're constantly seeing this ship on TVs, and then you can just pick up your phone and see the nineteen niggas krip walking and and and doing aything, and then the next thing, you know, they kill the motherfucker. You know, people like, oh my god, nick, I want to be like that, you know what I'm saying. So now you got from nigga just want to be thinking,

wanna be gangsters? Show the ship where this little seventeen year old boy ain't gonna never get the funk out of prison. He got rest of his life for killing one motherfucker and the judge said you you're a motherfucking minutes at seventeen and throw the book at you. But you got forty five ninety three years to life. You ain't never coming home. Show that type of ship. Let these little they can see that type of ship. Let them see you. You gotta beginning, but the ending of

this ship ain't ain't gonna be good. And you somewhere down the line, you're gonna pay for everything you're doing. Show that type of ship. Let these these cats that that got the stories, put them on on a on a the uh on a little little uh commercial or something. But but showing this ship and then glorifying uh people of the same sex and all of this other ship. I think it's wrong. If you get you gay. What you do at your house is your business. Longest, this

ship ain't in my house. We're cool. I ain't mad at nobody. But when you put it on TV and my grandsunding like what that and he doing this ship? And now what what why are they doing that? That's ain't that. Yeah, So now you gotta explain to him, Well, you've got a lot of rappers that that come off with that gang mentality that didn't really live it. So and those youngsters are listening to those guys. Everybody found a way to make money without sucking, breaking their back,

without working hard, without being man. So they figured they can get in this industry, make a hit record. Some of them. Some of them get lucky and some of them don't. But you got these cats coming in here. Okay, I was sitting in front of the mirror for six months and pretend to be this old crazy gass nigger and old yeah, and I got guns. So then they take to their phone and and create an Instagram page.

The Instagram page they thugged out. They're banging like a motherfucker the whole time, these dudes talking nobody and ever seen him, but ain't nobody saying they don't know him? Because now this motherfucker don't gotta hit record, And this motherfucker coming to say, I need y'all to be my bodyguards now that you're all good. Funk that funk that is all wrong. And half of these cats ain't seen a goddamn gun. Half of these cats and and broke read and nobody hood ain't sold a piece of crack.

Ain't this ship let alone got a jail record, And then they're coming out here, and now they didn't find what's good and what's making money. They get all this jury and all of this other bullshit. Now the next motherfucker's liking it. Now the ex motherfucker thinking all the time this motherfucking jury he got on. Ain't the man

sitting there with the briefcase. And I've seen this a whole bunch of times, sitting on the side while the video before the video over, he waiting when it's over so he can get this jury and put it back in this case, and and going by the videage. So half of the ship is a motherfucking lie. But who gives the funk if he's making the money, and that's what it's all about now. They don't give a funk if you or a half as crook or half a punk. They don't care. As long as they're getting paid for it.

It's all good. And this is the ship they need to stop. This is it. This is killing people and post they're helping people. But who gives a fuck? Well, someone like ice Cube would say, yeah, I never gang banger day in my life, but I rapped about the stuff that I saw and the stuff and where I grew with it. He ain't out here being reckless as Cuba is different from what you've see today. You know what I'm saying. You could be mad at it because he made a lot of money doing something that we did.

Live for nigga that actually lived that life opposed to a nigga saying, I'm gonna make money off of this and I ain't got to live that life. Who's the smartest one? Yeah, you feel me? And I had to think like that because I said, see before all day, that's somebody perpetrating to be something they're not. But if this dude there's a millionaire, this dude took something that that these new generation motherfucker's trying to take create something

out of it. But they're trying to create something. Once they created, they're ready to go bad with it. They don't. They don't. They don't understand it, you know. And that's the reason why we are where we are today, because the nigga don't want an honest job and break their back sweating and do what the funk they got to do to take care of their family. Rap ain't the wait for everybody. We got too many rappers out, too many. Most of y'all ain't gonna make it either, So find another,

find another job, a career. That and the smart smart they're all smart, so man, it just ain't they think this is easier than than than working the actual nine and five and that's the motherfucking problem. Don't nobody want to work no more? You find another career other than rapping, because we got about I don't know a hundred million rappers right now. All right, We got a question here from Warren G. Walker on Facebook. He wants to know how does he get in touch with Reggie Wright Jr.

Um I have the address. God damn well, he's in at Water right. All they gotta do is go to the BOP dot gov website typing his name Reggie Wright, and look for the one that says at Water, he's jeff In, Reginald Right, Reginald Right, Reginald Right Jr. And it all pop up. I actually have a link in my Instagram page. If you go to street dot Television and you click on the link in my in my profile,

they're one of those links is contact Reggie so. But he's in at Water, which is in California Federal Correction facility. And all you gotta do is go to the BOP website. I actually have other links to that. If you want to send him money, there's ways to do that, sending him a money order, or if you want to send him books or stamps or any of those things. I wrote him a letter, but I haven't got a response. He hadn't respond to Did you respond to you? No,

not yet. I ain't looking for a response. My whole thing to Reggie was and I told him here, didn't nobody right me ship when I was in there. You know what I'm saying. But my son, Mama, you know she took heart me when I was in there. I don't think you're doing what you're doing. I seen you when you come on. We got you when you come on. I'm gonna make sure all your ship is good here, your wife and everybody else and whomever can have my number.

And if something happened, I'm coming. I'm there. If you need something, I'm bringing it. But while you in here, if you're good, we ain't got nothing to worry about it. I just don't write letters. But then I said, let me write my boy man and and and tell him again that I don't write letters. So I told him, you know, I don't write mother letters. But here we go, and I wrote him a letter. Ain't going to send

it back. And another thing to the FET system. You guys could do email, but you have to send him a letter first with your email address, and then he'll add his email to his list of acceptable emails. And he can only have so many on there, yea, so he'll have to drop off, say, if he gets five new ones, he has to drop off five to put those five on there. So it might take a minute.

If he don't know who you are, he might be sitting there debatable like I don't want to do you know what I'm saying and dropping people and then had to put them back put it and it isn't complicating, which comes Yeah, I don't know. You know how many emails is allowed to have? Okay he was he already maxed out, did he? But he's been dropping him getting

a new Royeah? You rotting like okay, well that's that's an option for for you, Warrengy Walker if you wanted to get in touch with Reggie right all right, Um, this is a good question here, James. Someone asked, if your brother Buntry wasn't killed, would you still be with the gang ship? M hmm No, No, My brother Buntry was his own man. I'm my own man. Um. I walked away from death road before he did, well, before he could. Uh, when the when the ship was coming,

and she was you know, homies again his homies. I walked away. I wouldn't with that. I wouldn't find a volunteer for that. And and that just wouldn't me. So when she was doing things and and and she was going a certain kind of way, I was done. Um, I really didn't have nothing for it, wouldn't getting none out of it. So no, I would have definitely, you know, I'm getting older, and then I'm thinking it's time. The only thing was set for all of us was the

penitentiary or to be killed. And and I went back to Vegas and started doing my thing, actually went back to work, and you know, just doing my thing with my girl. And and now I walked away from all that. So, you know, whatever happened, if Mountry wouldn't have passed, now I would I don't think I'd be fifty five years old, forty five years old throwing up no peas and you know, getting it cracking like that, bracking or you know, hurting people.

Uh No, it was just time I grew up. It was you know, it was trying to move on from you was already distancing yourself from from death throw and from the mob. Before your brother was even killed. Right, Well, I was still hanging with the homies I had, and I still have some guys that I really just like, just mad one hundred love that I funked with over this you know holiday, and you know, yeah, it was good to go and you know, go kick it with you know a couple of months, punnis um. But standing

in the hood just ain't for me no more. If I got to stand there with my pistol, I don't need to be there. And you know, nine times out of ten I got my grandson with me, So I don't want him around seeing that and then he reacting and want to be this and that. I gave gave the Nike a little air gun and he's shooting everybody in the mother sucking out. So I had to take the gun. So no, I was, I was done. I was.

I was truly done. Um. So No, Alton probably would have still been doing this thing right now, but I'd have still been right here where I'm at. I would have been going through it. I'd have went through It wouldn't have been so hard, you know, with him being here. But out of found my way how to found my way? Alrighty well, I think this wraps up another episode of the Gangster Chronicles. James, let's uh yeah, yeah, I got some last words. I wanted to shout out to ship.
