They got Curvillians video of this man, and they say the civilians. Video outside of the restaurant shows the team into the restaurant. I guess she had been texting her son while they were in there arguing, and cell phone video from inside shows Brown punching Hood at least three times in the head and face. Prosecute to see it that when the team pulled out a gun from its

Who?

The female sent the niggas over to his crib and after he ran in the house, they ran away, right, they ran away, jumped in their car, he came out dumping. So, like I said, at what level do you consider like, okay, them them them, them dudes is gone, so fucking I'm gonna let off in the heat of in the heat of the motherfucking moment, and that's your mama.

Okay, let me just texting, motherfucker right quick? Hey, uh, get the pistol out the glove compartment and come on in here. And then I walk through the door and I see my mom on the ground and the nigga standing.

And it's so you know the thing is, man, it's very dangerous, man. That's why I tell people, man, it's best to play the high power cover. Man. I don't do no kind of extra talking man when I'm in places where I don't know people, man, because it can go down that quick. You could lose your life or wound up taking somebody's life that quick.

You don't know who carry pistols, That's the whole thing. That's ship man. You emails carry pistols too. So and like I said, you don't know what the story is. But if it's just some random ass motherfuckers is in the rec the little shit, you know what I'm saying. And I don't know a wrong look or whatever, I mean, what caused them to get into it, you know what I'm saying, Especially when you look at it as a female and a dude. It wasn't like it was two

You know what I'm saying.

She wasn't doing She wasn't doing the neck you know, and the pointing and like you know, nigga, you this, I don't know. It seemed pretty car He was pretty motherfucking adamant.

From what I understand. The brother got man. He was telling her to her up and get her riot order, and she was. She just basically told him like do it, I'm not finishing order and hold on, you know what I mean. So he got pissed off and got to talking.

Ship that due piss you off sometimes though when you're hongry, man, it's somebody. Because I'm gonna tell you women got that good. Because I'm gonna tell you this, bro, my girl on been to Windy's a million times or make Donalds. But she get up there in front of that thing and will do this. But like, man, you don't know if.

You want to Hamburger Maria slap the back of your deck when you walk at the door tonight talking about what you're talking about before you with these trips, what they do.

They say they don't want nothing, But then be over that reaching for your French for us and all that.

Ship that Nigga said Maria going there and she'll be like.

Just looking at that. You know, we got to introduce our guests today, man. We got to introduce our guests because a lot of the stems back to mental health, man, to mental health, and I think in the black community, man, we definitely definitely you know, if you look at the stuff that's just online, man, in the common section, you will see a lot of people down there need help, man.

You know. Yeah. And and first of all, my name is the ball Game Thanker from San Diego, California. I really appreciate a sure still for having me on the show. Man. It's a blessing to be here, you know what I'm saying. And to all the gangs, the chronicle goons out there, and much respect to you guys as well. My professional background, you know, I went to school, went to Ohio State for a little bit, got out Ohio State. I ended up going to Liberty University in Virginia, I got my degree.

I would say, you know, in my early days of of stomping the neighborhood, you know, or you know, typically hell yeah, it would be you get them butterflies in that nervousness when you see them boys get behind you, and especially when they ain't even ran the lights yet, they just following you for a minute. You start anticipating to pull over. You feel me.

But see what that's trauma right there. You did what I'm saying. We go outside the path.

You know.

One of the things that I tell my son all the time is that, you know, make sure you keep your head on the swivel. And I teach him how to deal with the police if they do fuck with him. You know, he's a productive young brother. He ain't never been in no trouble or nothing. You know, me, myself and all his uncles. You know what I'm saying. We was gang bangers, not gang members. Gang bangers. There's a difference.

And oftentimes you know, I notice in the black community, black women that's taught by their mothers, Oh you don't need a man. I know you know me and are producer. We was talking earlier. Were both from Cleveland, and I would have generation it was generations of people. Man. I would see generations of people man where the grandma stayed in the house, didn't have no man. Then she have a daughter, the daughter grew up, have kids, they don't have no man in there. They all live together, but

Well, I think this is the thing still, it's you know, the thing is you do have those particular situations where some sisters grew up in households where like as you're saying that they seen that their grandmother didn't have a man, probably died alone. But you still have a bunch of brothers and sisters who actually grew up in two parent household two grandmother and grandfather households like I did you

I grew up in I grew up in a single family house. I mean, my parents were together for a time before they got divorced. You know what I'm saying. But I don't know how it was for you growing up. You know what I'm saying, what you saw in the household? Or I grew up in the two parent household, and how was it for you? I had a stepfather, see

How old were you when you asked her? That?

Man? I was about eight years old. And then with my stepdaddy did he heard that? And my mama just told me this man that my stepdad he winning the newspaper and win his little cigar box where he kept his money at And when it got an attorney went and ran to ad and Ohio where my real dad was at. He went to Agron and ran add in Summer County so he could see and contested if he

But so was that because.

Moms and original Pops was never and it was just what it or was it was it abuse?

Was it?

Moms was like, I got to get the hell away from this, dude.

I'm gonna tell you it wasn't you know me. And just for the record, me and my biological father have a great relationship. You now, he a whole different man. You know, he was a young dude when all this was happening. So we ben forgave him for all that, right, But at the time it was some abuse.

Okay.

You know, my pops liked to put this, you know what I'm saying, that's what they did.

You know, a lot of a lot, but a lot of us.

I mean, you know what I'm saying, there's a lot of uh us that came from that.

You get me.

You know, my father, you know, went to the military, was in the Navy, you know what I'm saying. You know, worked at General Motors and all of that, but sometimes you know, it'd be situations to where you know, it just don't work. So Mom's left, you know what I'm saying, Like you said, it might have been physical and abusive. And even though Mom's left and it was me and my sister and my brother, and you know, you never saw any significant like I didn't get no stepdaddy, you

I didn't.

I didn't take that route you know some dudes took when it came to females and my my household, it was my mama.

My sister was older.

The attitude wasn't fucking nigga in the household because we came from a different generation parents.

She didn't want to convey that myss moms.

You know, like my parents, My moms came from Mississippi. So you gotta understand growing up in that time, you know, in the in the forties and fifties and shit, definitely.

It was different.

It wasn't like, you know, the dude left the household or whatever, and it became this, I don't need a motherfucking nigga or fucking nigga WHOOPI woo. It didn't have that that. It didn't have that attitude. So I didn't see that, you know, growing up where even though it didn't work out, it was like, oh no, my sister was taught, you know, fucking.

Nigga out there, you don't need no nigga.

It looked like my house either.

My sister, you know, she's been married to her husband for decades.

But see, some of these relationships teaches us. You understand, I'm saying how to how to actually go into a relationship and learn how to deal with not only the good but the adversities of the relationships. A lot of people are staying together longer. I'm glad that eight said that because I grew up in a household like you still were. My younger brother's dad was a stepdad, but I was never really receptive to this motherfucker, you know

Same thing to even do. My dad is probably the greatest grand in the world now, right, And.

Why but why did we have that though?

Why do you think that generation and era of men and fathers were like you said, it wasn't fucking shit.

Like, We're gonna tell you what I learned, what I got from it, and this is how I got the right, right, yeah, And this is how I got to get to being cool with my dad, right, What I found out that my dad. You gotta understand my grandmother, Well, my first of all, well, my grandfather came from Memphis, Tennessee. He had a whole nother family down there, and he came up north, met my grandmother and I think had fourteen kids.

Well, well, your uncle man, he had to know something, man, because you don't get too many people that go back and get all their siblings to keep everybody together.

And that's what it is. And to this day they all like you, but not say nothing about his brother's and sisters. Jay would get into a fight with you. And and the thing I learned is I knew what I didn't want as far as me being a man. I always said, I'm not gonna I tried my best not to have no just a bunch of kids running around, right. And I knew that when I did have kids, I

But but see, but but like I said, and I'm an interject back off, what they was saying is that you you you you saw some things, and you seen some things and you and you and subconsciously you said, you know what, that's what I'm not going to be. Because one thing that my father did teach me, he taught me my my my biological dad actually made me into the man that I am today. You did what I'm saying, right, because I didn't want to be like

Man.

I miss you, my brother. You know that brother taught me a hole like he. My older brother Anthony was my dad man. And my older brother Levan followed shut once my l once my brother passed away from cancer. My older brother Levan, he followed suit and uh and and I had five brothers and six of us, and you know, and we kept a tight knitch, such as your uncles and his siblings as well. You did what I'm saying. And my family was a bunch of females. But all my aunts were married and they all they

You know what though, Man. The thing is, I had a very strong female presence in my life too. Like my grandmama had a pistols. So when my dad did come over there because he would be on some stuff to where I'm coming. I'm coming to get my son, and my grandmother was like the pistol, like, no, niggas, you ain't coming up here with that, you know, because my dad, let me know what, they wasn't all innocent.

You know.

They did some crazy stuff to my brother that can cause hepatitis.

Man, man, they give a fuck.

They was like, getting your ass up out of here, coming around here with that ship. Why why why are you running off with pitts with pists all? Did he right it off with pints and getting popped? That's fund up with ye where they wasn't playing weddy. Let me tell you right now that calls him. That caused brother some mental health issues.

You know. So I just thinking about all this, but I'm gonna tell you this. My mama will tell me to this day. She said, your dad was just young. He loved you. He just didn't know. He trying to process a situation that he don't know nothing about. Right.

That's good that moms told you that. You know, my mom's never told me.

Like my mom, she wanted me to have a relationship with my day right, And I respect her for that because she could have easily been like, no, you ain't going to go see him. She never she always wanted us to have a relationship.

Well, you know what. My mother never said nothing bad about my dad either. And at one point in time, my mother had told me one day, and I think I was about twelve thirteen years old, I had just start stealing cars for the homies, and she was like, my dad came through and I was really eager and happy to see him at that particular time because I hadn't seen him in a while. And my mother said, you really love your dad, don't you you know? I mean, yeah, you know it's my dad, you know. And she said,

I think, you know, still, I think I came, you know, a little bit similar to your situation where you know, you ended up having a cool relationship with your pops after the fact, I mean, same situation with me. I mean, I guess anybody, though, you know, the presence of your dad is supposed to be like just oh man, my dad. You know what I'm saying. So, but it gets to a point to where I was like, like, you like,

Was he familiar with your REP career?

Yeah?

When I when I finally went to see him, he had newspaper clippings and ads and all kinds of shit, you know, Jet magazine shit I have been in. And you know, when I did Minace and awards and all that, he had paper clippings of all that shit. So so he was definitely watching. I'm pretty sure you know what I'm saying. I had no regrets, though you know what I'm saying. I don't know, man, You know I held you know, you hold grudges because, like I said, again,

That's the reason why the young brother popped this motherfucker. I was still in there.

You'd be ready to take a nigga's head off, like I like, if you had that relationship with your mom, you know, and a person like me, like I said, once mom's and pops split, it was just me and moms and so whether we had to go through the struggle, the grind of you know, trying to figure out what where the bread was coming from or eating and all that shit, and you know, even the trials a nigga had to go through with turning a young man and

This nigga socking my mom?

Of course he was fit to die, of course, and not to disrespect you know, the dead and his family, because I'm knowing they feeling something right now. But that comes to the level of how how far can you let a motherfucker push you? You give me like you got to be in some coinntrol of your actions. Man, Sometimes you get me and I come from that too. I come from that. Fuck you, I don't give fucking you get me. But still, you know you have to come to a level of control because you know, you

Well you know what real quick. They saying that the woman told her son to hit the witness, I guess it was a witness in their hood. Then that averts her intention.

To the witness, that it was somebody in there filming.

Yeah, where she instructed her son to shoot them. Wow, the dude with the camera, because the court to take the gun from the boy, but he pushed her off to paarody into the vehicle. Sound like the son had more sense than the Mama was like, let's go. You ain't got to shoot this man, you know, going back to your pops. Eight. The biggest memory I got, man, and I think and for a long time I had a lot of hatred in my heart towards my pops is I remember when I was real little, and I

That's trauma right there. That's trauma right there.

It's never come. I would wait by the window if we stayed, you know, me being the Midwest, they got apartments, some of them in the basement, right. I remember I was staying up on the back of the couch and be by the window, and I would just wait to see that van coming.

Bro Man, my pops would come get me and my sister. You know, when he moved and you know, you know got you know, was dealing with another lady, and you know, he used to come get us and we used to spend the week ends and go to church with him and all of that. I mean, for the record, my pops tried to be you know, I guess the best he could. I mean, his faults from you know, the abusive shit and who knows what.

I don't know what my.

Pops was going through in his head. He had a job at General Motors, so he wasn't like just a dead beat motherfucker. But you never know, he was in the military, you know what I'm saying. He was a productive He probably got you know, he probably got on that shit. Who knows when you know what I'm saying. He was educated, motherfucker smart, had a great job. He had a job at General Motors for probably over thirty years, you know what I'm saying. But who knows what the

You get me.

When you look at the motherfucker shit that they portray on the TVs and you read in the books, you know, the father's supposed to be everything. He's the supporter He's the motherfucking provider. You know, He's the motherfucker that's gonna come whoop a nigga's ass when they come fuck with you. And so I didn't have that, you know what I'm saying, That's why gang banging started.

You know what I'm saying.

I had the homies and shit like that, and then you start growing immune to it to where it got to the point to I was like, now I don't do no summer vacations out there no more. Nah, I don't want to pick up the phone and call I'm cool. Nah, I'm good because now shit, nigga got the I'm from the hood. I don't need shit else, Nigga, I got the homies from the hood. I got me a strap in a sack and a father. Can't tell me shit right now?

Your way, Hey, Mike, I wanted to ask you this, what the way the internet he is right now? Like I see a lot of people, man, like a lot of adult men and women that look like they caught up in the lives of all these online different these different online personalities and even the people that watch your shows sometimes right, it's like almost you got peopless invested in this like, this is their reality? Where would that stem from? You know, you know, you got to think about it.

Man. Social media is real powerful man, you know what I'm saying. Just the influences. You got a lot of people that watch these shows, watch y'all, you know, watch a lot of the platform. Shout out to my homeboy, Meley Mail out of Santana Block, you know, the hood Postman in his situation. You got a lot of people that listen to what we say. They depend on they

Because I see people, man, you know in the comments section. I had a guy one day, Man tell me, he said, still SMD, Well, this is a man. I go back to his page. Man, this dude is probably about like twenty one two years old.

SMD.

You know, you know, suck my you know.

What the hell is Ryan?

They still hold up before you. I let you speak on that. But that's why they always fucking with you still.

You know.

The cold thing about it is, Man, again, that has to be a mental problem. It has to be a mental problem.

That just that just ain't a nigga bad you talking about that.

He didn't like, he didn't like.

Like like they ain't been through it.

Just don't like, I ain't never seen that one.

That's what that's that's that's that's another supporter from the other side. That's why he said, let.

Me get this off. Even if he was a supporter from the other side. You inserting yourself into something that you don't know nothing about, you know nothing about, you don't know what's going on. You just taking size and stuff that you don't know nothing about. Right, And then I even saw this, Right, I've seen people come in under different things, right, under different names. Right, it be the same person, but they got different names. They make

Man.

Well, no, that's the Internet game. People know that, you know. The more support that they get for bullshit, it's gonna make it relevant. So if I got if I go, if I send you a text and I say SMD, I'm gonna I'll go, gonna make twenty profiles, fake profiles to come in to comment on that SMD shit, and all of the comments gonna be like, yeah, that's right, so and.

So yeah man yeah, I man, what is still done? He ain't this or that? Yeah?

Man, he can SMB for me too, you get me. That makes it. That makes the motherfucking quote relevant.

And then he come back and say this, give homeboy his money, Ryan, this.

Is still kill it big. Look, this is what I say about people. Then people ain't motherfucking mental. They just motherfucking They just haters and and and the thing is what I say about shit like that. We got this thing where it's supposed to be freedom of speech, and this is it. This is what I used to go

You got some people that all sit up there, sit up here and fuck with you all day.

If you allow them to, man, a nigga will go it. Make it to me, this is what this what a person told me. You ain't doing nothing but giving them what they want if you take because you know what they gonna do. They gonna take all your responses and go post that shit and go Look. I meant look, I'm into it with Stele. Look he's responding. He's responding to me. Oh, I got him so mad and in the back of the nigga mine. He really don't got

Respond out of you.

That's why they just want to be the negative motherfucker out of all the people who going yeah, still keeping cracking and keep want they want. I'm gonna come in nig nigga SMD and pay a nigga his money and then it really you'll never see the nigga or the nigga could be a motherfucker that you see every and you'll never know it. That's just the world that we live in, especially with the Internet.

Especially the motherfuckers that ain't got no profile picks.

Yeah, no, I ain't got nothing to do but fuck with this nigga all day. I ain't got nothing to do with fuck with them all day. And it was so bad about it. You bite half of the time. You're gonna bite on it because it's just because first of all, you don't like the shit on your page, so you're gonna look at it and be like, who is this motherfucker and a minute you go, ah, man,

It's all I'm doing. His block and delete me.

And I don't. I don't think you.

D You can say niggas is mental, but that ain't really no mentally ill. We got people out here with real mental issues.

No, that's what I was gonna ask you, Mike, A lot of these characters that pop up online and they usually wind up on a White Boys platforms, right, right, do you think some of these brothers got not putting no names out there, nobody in particular, but do you think some of these dudes got mental problems?

Though?

Well, you know they you know, I mean we First of all, I would have to make an assessment. But any motherfucker had to sit on the internet all damn day and go back and forth with somebody. There's some type of mental name somebody.

You think krip Met got something wrong with him?

Come on, man, I mean, I mean, bless the brother's heart, you did what I'm saying, but yeah, you know, it's only it's only obvious that brother got some type of cognitive issues going on.

Now we talk about cognitive issues because I see, now you gotta do this. His father look just like him. But he a blood, right, Oh, I saw that. That is daddy for your vice lord.

Well, he he posed as a blood at one time, and then he did say something about the vice Lord. Brian's right. I saw that, you know what I'm saying, But I don't know, I don't know if that dude is his daddy or not, But that dude is crazy, you know what I'm saying, Especially if he's not his biological father. If he's getting on there just for attention, you gotta you gotta take in the consideration. This motherfucker might be mental, you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, because he just make it up, said I'm his daddy. But height told me your story about Kedy. He knew they thought he was easy. He thought he was easy.

Rest in drugs, don't that ain't just a motherfucker who you know what I'm saying, that's a that's that's what the one of the homies who you know continuously was doing them drugs. And like I try to tell niggas, you know, was he out of contence? Yeah, he was from the neighborhood, you get me. He got a bad batch of a dose of some some water water and if it firs, it fucked your brain up. It's in

They said.

She she showed she walked into the restaurant and just just say, we in there having a motherfucking corporate dinner. She come to our table and just sit down and she kicking it and just start talking to people. Nobody knew her. She was talking strange and all that. That's mental shits, mental hit me, delusions. Were talking about audience. Some of these motherfuckers do this ship for for likes and for content and to be because right about now, being stupid is popular.

You get me.

If I can get on the motherfucking internet that crazy and say I'm missing, I'm not and next thing you know, you look up, I have a motherfucking million hits.

And you know, you know I used to try to understand why I would have certain feelings about certain things, and I would go do my research on it, and it always led me to something something mental. So then when I when I when I went to school and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to be in life, you know what I mean, I was like, you know, what, what the fuck am I really gonna do?

I wasted all of my mid teens and all of my twenties.

We wasted a lot of time game bank.

And I was fucking I was fucking selling records and still didn't give a fuck. You didn't give a full all I wanted to do was go to the hood and just chill. I didn't know nothing else. Even when I started embedded. Yeah, even when I was making money and all on B E T and magazines and all that shit, Nigga, I was still going to the block.

The things it's it's embedded in you. I don't know if you guys noticed, but I'm a musician. I play keys and drums, and Lou Silas Junior, who was the director of A and R for MCA Records back in the days, had hired me to play drums for when New Audition then first came out and all these types of things. So I was running back and forth from San Diego up to l A. You know what I'm saying, not trying to be an artist. I was a musician. I just wanted to play, you know what I'm saying.

Eight.

You and I have met a couple of times before, Homie, for sure, you know what I'm saying, back back and back in the days, and you didn't know who. I was a little skinny kid, had a flat top, little shag all that or top of you know what I'm saying. But I was, you know, I was on some different ship back then, right, you know what I'm saying.

I was.

I was a you know, I was. I was into some shit, you know what I'm saying. And and and the point that I was trying to make is that I end up. I started when I got shot. Me and me and the brother had a we had a car to car shootout. He hit me, I hit him, you know what I mean. Ended up getting a zip. I got stabbed a couple of times. I did my fair share of it. And uh, you know, when me and my brother Mellie got exonerated for a popping, these

Your fucking mask, Yeah, this stick, I could get it it. Boy, get a fucking traffic violation, guy, go do fifteen days?

Still like shit? I finished called by what run Sell.

Was facing some time like that twenty year You gotta remember I'm fifty something. Dogs, that's the rest of your wife, crumb.

Well, what't nothing but see at the time, I was only twenty two years old. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So you know, but me, me and my brother, Me and my brother Millie. We end up beating the case. And when I got around twenty six years old, the red the red light literally went on like stop, you know what I mean, because the ship, the ship that I was into and the things that I was doing. Man, you know, my homeboy gains and earned rest in peace.

Man.

I know you guys heard of that name. You know what I'm saying. The shit that we was doing back in the hoods, back in the days. Man, you know what I'm saying, Some people lost their lives and some of us got lucky. I got lucky, man. So I decided that I was gonna turn my shit around, and a.

Lot of us got lucky.

Man, A lot of us got lucky, home boy, you know, because like I said, I'm part of the zipper.

And then I'm saying, like, that's gotta be some form of of mental stress or health when you look up, like you said, some of us get to a point where we go, I can't do this shit no more. But then it's some of the homies who are still like they still there and they still in it, and that's all they know. And you know, you see a lot of dudes, you know, when you see niggas forty and over representing neighborhood to the fullest, it's a problem.

Why y'all.

Come on, you're forty now, you're fifty now. Some of some some has the explanation of it's it's generational.

It's like.

It's a brotherhood. You know, you don't leave this behind. Our only way out is if you die or whatever.

You know.

They they so you know what I'm saying, because you see a lot of especially over here, you see a lot of niggas around our generation and our age that still repped the block.

Yeah, they know.

I know a motherfucker as sixty three years old, man, and you know still still still like, you know, pushing the line. I'm like, man, what type of motherfucker is you?

There's a whole lot of them.

So that's why I said that gotta be some kind of mental health meant, you know, some kind of stress for you to feel like at fifty or forty plus sixty plus that you still have to, you know, represent the block in that form.

It's a much bullshit. Eight How old are you still?

Me?

I'm fifty three? How old are you?

Eight? I'm fifty two and I'm fifty six, so I'm the senior in the house. You did what I'm saying. I would never tell at this point, man, Well it was. It started when I was thirty years old. I never did try to groom some young brother into coming to this bullshit. You know what I'm saying, always, man, man, man, go live your life and go go see some shit, Go do something, go to school, get educated. You understand what I'm saying. Live a productive life. This shit ain't productive.

Why is it that a nigga? Why is it that they feel because you get that, you'll get like you don't represent no more. You don't you know, you don't do this no more. You ain't you know, you ain't claiming the hood no more? You know, like, why do you feel some dudes even address that?

Man? You know, I still can't get it to you know, I normally can rational rationale some things, but this one I just can't rationale.

One.

Well, one thing for some of the brothers. So some of the brothers, they ain't never had ship, they ain't never went nowhere. You dig what I'm saying, The hood is the only thing that they've ever had. You know what I'm saying. What I'm saying, so they have they have this sense that they have a sense of loyalty.

That is just.

I always tell brothers, if you, if you, if you can have this much loyalty towards your own personal endeavors, the same loyalty that you have to this to this hood or to a block where you don't even own a house on the mother the fucker you dig. You know what I'm saying, You would be successful, my brother. You understand what I'm saying. Your priorities is fucked up. But then again, I've also called motherfuckers out. Hey, if you got a problem with me, motherfucker, I'll meet you

Fuck? No?

You know why Because half of you motherfuckers ain't even worth or they ain't even worth the waste of my motherfucking time. And some of you clowns in the six one nine know exactly who in the fuck I'm talking about. So I'm not gonna even get these motherfuckers that I'm not. I don't nowadays. I used to dignify that shit with responses, motherfucking me, me, I'll pull up at the park. What's now I don't even have to do that no more. You dig what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying,

Man.

You come to San Diego, man, and you know somebody you check in. Not only are you gonna get protected. You dig what I'm saying, motherfuckers and San Diego's gonna be able to provide security for you. You dig what I'm saying, Move around the town and have a good time. Man, you brought up Boozy. You know what I'm saying. I

You know, But especially if you got priors for firearms and you on parole or parbation for firearms and you get caught. I mean, there's no way you can deny it because it's all on social media at the pistol, and then they got the whatever the recording to where he was telling the bodyguards that they should have took the rap for the pistols or whatever.

So his problem is he talked too fucking much.

I mean, I get it.

Like I said, again, we live in these times where a nigga will test you and then you know, if you claiming to be that type of motherfucker, you might go to some sections where a nigga feel like, hey, nigga, you like like just like we was talking about last you know with with the female, there's just motherfuckers who's just gonna try to test you and see if you that type of motherfuker. So you know, he he he said it was for show. It was for the video.

Gets you a prop gun some of you got if he had if he had a couple of prop guns.

In My thing is this when you get to a certain level of of of MC artistry or whatever.

You don't even carry around no pistol.

No you don't.

You give me gotta be somebody else. I'm calmed in I'm neighborhood. You know what I'm saying. If I'm in a situation like that, the security gonna have a pistol because I ain't finna try to go to jail for shooting. Now, not saying that the nigga ain't been in situations, but nigga.

I'm not not trying to.

You know, I don't like if I've been there, done that, you get me. I don't feel like I gotta I'm not even finna be grabbing a.

Pistol for a video said.

This is the thing, man, shit, I did when I was fucking twenty getting on a fucking video at fucking fifty years You get me.

Hit about forty two, forty three years old. But this is a thing. Another thing. Man, If if if you got to pull up to a video shoot and have a pistol, you might reconn, You might.

Want to re might not want to be at the video. Shit, you might.

Want to reconsider where you're doing a video. Shit.

You Yeah, that's that's how I say. At a certain age, not that you are punk, but you gotta avoid bullshit.

That shit.

I know, I'm going to a section where we might have to add the pistols over here, Okay, we might want to move the location.

Then you get me.

I don't need to go prove into a nigga that I'm a hard nigga from Louisiana or content by jumping out and all the fans and the niggas on the block see me with the pistol, Like, yeah, nigga, You're like.

What the fuck real?

Why if that's the case, nigga, we need to move our location. And if I'm in a spot where I'm accepted, I damn show I ain't finna have no fucking I don't need't.

Need one, you understand. But at the same time, but you, but a motherfucker has to be privy enough. You understand what I'm saying to put security on him or herself. You understand what I'm saying. You have to make decisions to where you don't have to have the pistol. As eight was just saying, you know what I'm saying. If if I'm coming up here to do the Gangs of Chronicles, was invited to thank you my brothers again, if I felt that I needed a pistol to come here, I'm not.

Coming exactly exactly like where y'all at and who y'all fuck with? And then I feel like, hm, I might need to take me a heater up there, when I that already has letting me know maybe I shouldn't be going to.

Do it, and and and not to cut you off eight because I don't like to do that. I apologize you good so. But before I came up here, I called my homeboy, Mitchie Slick. I said, Slick was having with this gangster chronicle they asking me to come up. Slick said, Oh that's MCA He said, you cool, hummy, that's my peoples. Yeah, just like that, you did what

Yeah?

People, you know, you know what I'm saying. You gotta check your surround You gotta check your surroundings.

You know what I mean.

And and uh, you know, so you know, just just getting I checked three references, and all three of the and all three of their references had nothing but good things to say about y'all. So I'm here, you know, and I done being invited to do a couple of other ones. In the first thing, man, what's going on with thieves over there? And I've had some people say, well, kind of be careful. This mother, forg got one foot in, one foot out. You don't know who gonna pull up exactly.

Man, God damn, I think it's possible to ever get to that point, though, well, you know, I'll probably be dead and go.

I was about to say, you know, I was just about to say, before you ask me that question, that I just hope that I can see that in my lifetime. Man, you did what I'm saying. You know, because when I come, I come with the utmost respect. Man. You know what I'm saying. I don't care who you is. I don't give a damn what set you from. I don't, I don't, I don't you know, I don't care how big, how small man. One thing I do. I have a genuine concern for my people. Man, you did what I'm saying.

That's me.

I come by myself, you know what I'm saying. And I and and and and I'm a very spiritual brother, you know what I So I look up to the sky and ask Joh, Joh, this is in your hands now I'm here.

I ask your philosophy, man, if it's somewhere we're in my spirit, I feel like I gotta take pistols and do all this and that I'm just not gonna go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's the point.

Like I said, you you ain't niggas, ain't no punks or cowwarts or nothing like that. But being a grown man, you have to learn how to choose your options better to avoid drama. And that's your choice you give me, regardless of what a motherfucker might say or what their opinion. I'd rather be here than be locked up or laid up, you feel me, And that's it. That's just the that's just the end, motherfucking theory. You're gonna be locked up or laid up straight up, you know what I'm saying.

You give me, especially.

At this point, man, come on, I ain't got time to give me, and I'm damn showing in the position to how I need to be laid up behind somebody and some bullshit where nigga done laid me up? Because nigga, why the fuck you even here? You know something, I show shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be here. What's here for me?

Nothing?

Nothing?

Your woman at the crib, your motherfucking kids is straight, Your business is somewhere else, and your money is coming in. What the fuck am I doing here to prove to what? I'm still hard like?

Man?

Please, I'm beyond proving you get.

I just got that. The girl, the woman Carlicia Hood, the woman whose son shot the guy. They're folling a lawsuit against the City of Chicago, the resting officers.

Yeah, because they dropped the case. So now she wants to file a civil lawsuit. But that that that ain't I don't think it'll stick because you're gonna say what you were wrongfully accused or wrongfully arrested, your son did pop a motherfucker and whatever now we can, we'll claim it was self defense and we'll give you that and we'll let you out. But you ain't gonna turn around to try to get no bread out of us. Come on, we just let you off on a fucking murdered your hearts.

Yeah, that's what she should and.

Didn't even then give your son like inviolnce terry mannslaughter and no shit, he did kill a motherfucker, like okay, he was beating your mama. But still how many times a a motherfucker? Go yeah, okay, but still, well, this is what she said. I've experienced pain in many ways that I would never have thought.

She said, that's.

The mental health. That's my mental health is fucked with right now.

Hold on, She said, what happened to me was totally unnecessary. Never in a million years would I have imagined being brutally attacked, beaten and arrested.

But this is what I'll say to missus Hood. Keep going, yeah, yeah, go ahead? Is that it it?

Meanwhile, Hood's attorney, Aary Williams, told the Chicago Sometimes and Monday, miss Hood is ill and has always been a victim. Brandon Brown, another lawyer for hood, Is, also hinted that additional lawsuits will be forthcoming.

She's always what.

Happened to his Hood, likely there would be additional bossuits forthcoming.

Yeah. But the thing is, wonder what the lawyer. I wonder what the lawyer. I wonder what lawyer is going to take that case?

Program?

And what do you mean by that? She's always been so she done?

Got her?

Asked what before?

Because if that's the case, ship, I've always been a victim too shit. I done been pulled over and fucked with by the police and fucking thrown and holding taints and all kind of.

She's paying for the for the son's college. She said that that fourteen year old boy that back to him routing neck groom ass man, punching his mother in the face as if she were a man, is a true hero. If he wants to go to college, I'd love to help. It's what any son should have done for their mother, I believe.

I agree with I said that, like if if if I'm watching somebody socking on my mama and there's a burner handy.

He's he's in trouble, he's in trouble.

He might he might not make it, And like he said, I'm gonna chase him from here to the next block over rocket and I'm gonna empty the whole motherfucker. I mean, that's why I said, that's the love for mom. So I'm like, so that's what I said. They let you out. They're not gonna charge you with murder. They gonna say it was self defense. Okay, But this is another one of my my, my, my saying exactly how is this city responsible for some brandom dudes, just socking you.

You know what are you saying?

Still?

Okay? Now tell me it's this mental health. She just stupid. Ohio mom charged with murder after infant dies while she left on eighth DA vacation without her. Yeah, she crazy as hell, say. Chrystal larry Are thirty one admitted to leaving the little girl Xaling at the Cleveland home alone for eight days, all alone and unattended, and after David a team by u K YC showed she had traveled without the child to vacation in Puerto Rico and Detroit. The child was not living without any food of water.

They found a child in the garage. The child and went out to the to the to the garage and I'm assuming getting and getting in the car thinking is mama, her mama was gonna come home and take her somewhere. She They found the poor child dead in the front seat of the truck in the garage.

Yeah, this is what they said. Reportedly found Jalen unconscious and extremely dehydrated. The infant's body was allegedly located in the state of disarray. The girls play peeing hit soil. Blankets in the bottom line are saturated with here in the feces. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Now you know what broke So they saying, the mama went to Puerto Rico and just left her there, left her there.

That's that's mentor.

So yeah, that's steam my little baby though, that's the mentor. That's the mentor because you like it is some true, like I said, unfortunately, it's it's a serious problem. And mental health is real. And I know a lot of regular average motherfuckers. You know, the way we look at you know, people with problems, we'll call them crazy and and and hey, nigga, go you know what I'm saying, We don't really look at that too often about mental health and what real problems they are. But that should

In the family, and the family should have made that assessment as well, if she had family around.

The thing that make you question, like the neighbors respond to tragic news, I hope she pays what she did.

Yeah, but that makes you question what kind of father who laid up and had sex with her to have a kid, Because you gotta know there's some issues there. You get me, You're not a normal motherfucking and you just wake up and decide, Oh, I'm gonna leave my baby in the play pin and I'm finna go to Puerto Rico.

Well, the first the first news.

Not not to the grocery stores. Don't shit like that, but thistle to play this what the neighbors is saying. They don't know why she didn't ask them for help before, because she said this. One neighbor said that the young mother would sometimes would go days and weeks without contacting them, while soon lem watch the infant. So the neighbors said they.

Already maybe all the time, and the mom be gone weeks and days of the time without saying.

Them drugs, drugs and mental health and mental health man real talking.

Yeah, so she had a pattern. So she had a pattern. I wonder, how come the neighbors and go over there and try to do a welfare check and then and then, but they probably don't know the babies.

That's why I say, shit, is left behind and shit is is is put on desk skin and you don't get because they already knew she was fucked up because, like she said, she'd be leaving for days at a time. So right then and there, somebody should have been contacted.

This woman was a teacher too, dog substitute elementary teacher.

She's mental. I don't give a fuck what you say. You know, normal motherfucker leaving a kid. Now, yeah, now I know a motherfucker go kick it and shit, But at liasa motherfucker be back after at least a day.

You get me.

A motherfucker leaving a and done it several times. That should have been like I said, why haven't the Why wasn't the neighbors like, hey, this lady then left her baby here and she been gone for three days. Somebody should have been contacted. But you just let her walk back up, hand her the baby and go, hey, she does it all the time. If evidently you get me because they said it, she's left the baby, he's here and been gone for several days.

So, like I said, there's a pattern.

No social services was called, no nothing, no police, like y'all let her do this at least two or three times, you get me, so.

No account of building.

And then some motherfuckers don't want to get involved with shit, but you're watching their kids, so like, oh, I don't want to tell on her, or I don't want to call and get her in trouble and shit like that. You feel me, I don't want to get her in trouble. So but now you telling what she used to do? It's too late. Now you get me? Now you think what we don't even want to hear from you? Now what the fuck? Now you want to say, Well, she used to leave the baby here for days at a

Yeah, yeah, social service, because I'm gonna tell you leave your baby with somebody. For you leave your baby with somebody for a day, your checking in something wrong. I'm gonna tell.

You, man, you leave a baby in the fucking car. You see how motherfuckers be all surrounding the car. You mean to tell me you leave a baby for days at the neighbor And nobody's like, I'm gonna tell you this bitch, I got a job to go through. I'm still sitting here watching this baby.

One year olds in the car. Dog, aren't you gonna do something to see some kids? You don't know? I've seen a couple of times. Dog, I saw like some kids. They was probably like one probably like thirteen fourteen months and the other one was a baby, and could tell the little brother was in there trying to watch them. They got the windows rolled up. Dog. I went and got the mall security and had them open up the motherfucking door. And I had to open up the door.

It's not about you.

Now.

She up there meeting the nigga at the mall, probably don't want to the movies and everything else. Lift them on the car with a water bottle. Take care of your little brother while I was gone, And then you gotta wonder where they daddy is that she probably ain't evenletting the daddy see the babies. It's a lot of fun up ship.
