I see one of the things the homie afroman wn't embraced you. Yes, sir, that's the big home and shout out to fro Man for sure. A lot of people don't know fro as an official, an official guy from

You know what wood he you know, he presented the rap world whatever. But he's official from this gangster man. Yes, he's a real gangster. He's a real gangster man. So we're gonna go back to the beginning. Like I told you before, we like to go from the beginning to

where we're at right now. From the watch section of LA I'll let you not the watch section, but south Central Los Angeles, south central Lost Ange. My bad. I'm thinking about shout out the Watts, but south central Los Angeles, man, and you from a part of town, man that was known for years to have a like a rivalry with another game that was across town the Roland sixties and from eight trade. So it's a lot of history right there. Man. There's a lot of beautiful stuff that I've seen happiness

of late, you know. So a lot of beautiful things have happened, man, you know, and I gotta give you a lot of credit. Man, But before we get into all that, I want to go back to the beginning. Man. Let's talk about you coming up man, coming up as a young savage in these streets though, Um well ship from un watching the man. Before we get to that, I'm gonna just I'm gonna just take y'all back, man,

to where it all started. From church. You know. Usually that's where that's where man, Man, So I always put guy first and give him his you know what I'm saying, Um, my grandmother and them. I was raised with him and my grandpa. You know that's my uncle Monster Pooky, rest in peace, his mother and father. You know what I'm saying, I'd say with him till I was like seven. So I was raised in church with the bishop and the mother of the church. I wasn't raised with my parents

Big Sodhi and my mother, you feel me. Until I was like seven or eight years old. I would only see my parents on the week yds at church if they wanted to see me, or they have to come to my grandparents. Also, my life was kind of like that, you know what I'm saying. My grandparents didn't want me being the first grandchild. They didn't really want me to

get that world, what I'm saying, streeting world. They wanted me to witness the church like because I, like I said, I was raised by my grandparents and I was seven or eight, and I was always reading the Bible with my paw Paul. These are the things that I've done in the house with them. You feel me. I'm with them, I'm reading the Bible, I'm going to church. I'm preaching the church as a little kid, you know what I'm saying.

So these are the things that I had to come up doing before I was able to branch out and get a taste of the streets. And I didn't get a taste of that shit until I got with my mom and my dad. So you so moms and pops was out there raising hell with them. I'm gonna tell you this. My mother was from the set before my daddy. Oh okay, so they was they stay was raising hell. But my mother changed her life before him. She got off the streets first because she was trying to win

me back from my grandparents. So basically, my grandmother, you know, told her, you know, you have to change your life, your ways, the gang life. And you know what I'm saying, grandparents for sure, snack your ass marked the house with the quickness. Man, what moms and pops is sucking up them grandparents. And I've seen that in a black and Hispanic community especially, Yeah, where if you fucking up? I

was real strong as lee. If you was brought up in the neighborhood and you got your grandparents, you know, But come on, man, you see who my uncle, Monster, Pooky, my daddy, Big Sody, these are they? These are they parents? You know what I'm saying. So it ain't like it's new to them. My grandfather been against before he was a bishop in the church, you know what I'm saying. So he knew about the street life. He knew my uncle, and it was doing. My uncle was getting the house

raided all the time. You know what I'm saying, Fast eighty. He didn't one that paid my uncle to move out my grandparents' house. You know what I'm saying. Because my grandfather was cutting everybody grass fast eighty and all the major players and all that South Park boys and all that. So he knew everybody, you know what I'm saying. So it was just like that game to sit. They was afraid of it. Me being my grandfather, first grandchild as

a boy. You know what I'm saying. He didn't. He didn't want me to be living on eighty first in Saint Andrews. That's writing the set, that's right there. I'm seeing it even like you know, I was going to go visiting. I was seeing the difference of how um, my mother my father lived compared to my grandparents, how they live. You know what I'm saying. The household it was different. You know what I'm saying. I was caged then, I was house closed did all the time Grandpa and them.

You know what I'm saying. I'm backyard baby, I'm saying when I get with moms and pops. I'm gonna pops neck. Where are you going? You know what I'm saying, You're going to Learney Fifth. I'm going too. My mama she didn't like me going. You know what I'm saying, But fuck that, I'm going outside. My dad he letting me hang out to three four in the morning. You know what I'm saying. I'm in the court, knocked out. He coming back to the court knocking on the window. I'm

in the set though. I'm with the big Coomy Zone Good. I'm going to the big homie, young big Rick. His wife resc in pieces and recipes a big Rick. I used to go to his wife house, Little Rick. I used to play with Little Rick on ninety fifth Street. You know what I'm saying. Between Hardale Normandy, we used to be right there as kids. And that's when I

started getting a taste of the gangsterism. You know what I'm saying, being on that's my daddy and then Block shout out to big Sodie, Gangster Pete Jag, all the big homies, big lows that stay block. You know what I'm saying. So I grew up around all I'm seeing all of this shit now, you know what I'm saying, being with them, this is what I'm boring up around now. I'm with my mamam on eighty first to Saint Andrews. I'm around my uncle Bopete. This was the Ganghouse back

in the days. My uncle Big al Capone, he just came home from doing forty two years. You know what I'm saying from that case he had with Mansa Coody I got shot back in. I was about to just bring up man, because you from a pivotal part of the city, man, and where it's a lot of real legendary gangsters over there. Yeah, I'm talking about dudes that they go talk about one hundred years from now. Oh yeah, you know, did you ever have any interactions with Monster

Coding Man? I love a big homie man. My first time. My first reaction was me standing up being the real gangster, being a man and not being turned down. You know what I'm saying. He didn't like the weakness. So you know what I'm saying. Pops already told us about all a lot of big homies, right. He mean my mama she raised all little Monster Cody and all them big crazy d from the North. Then her babies. They came to her house eighty first did. She ordered them, all

of them. So it was like me hearing stories about them and my daddy telling us on what we're supposed to do and what not to do. He really didn't won't know a little homie because of buster shit niggas be doing. And he never wanted to fuck his name. Look, but I took it on anyway, you know what I'm saying, just because I wanted his name to live alone, keep it going on. But Monster showed me so much love man, just standing up and being a young gangster. I had

my own strap at the time. You feel me, he's seen all of that. You know what I'm saying. That big homies, you know they it was all resolved that night at the Player's Choice Club, you know what I'm saying, because he was out there tripping and there was a lot of niggas that didn't know him. So it's like when big homies come around and you don't know him, it's like, um, you know, niggah sating homie, you don't

know who I am. Then you got somebody's like, no, what you mean you don't know who I am so now you're like, damn man and this nigga out. He was tripping like I'm slapping niggas. Don't though I ain't shit shit, you feel me, I ain't going home to my daddy's saying I got slapped by somebody and I'm wrapping your name and you told me not to. And it's the reason why you don't want to if something coward shit happened, now I gotta kill somebody. So you

know what I'm saying. I always killed my gangster hand firm man pressing my daddy name, and just that incident with Manster Cody, I earned a lot of respect from him. He loved the soldis man me baby Soldy my sister, my mama, that's her baby. She raised him so and then when we didn't get older to know about him and hang around him, he taught us that we was family. You know what I'm saying. So now when my mama was imposters telling us, now we're hearing it from them.

You know what I'm saying, Nigga, we family. We don't get into it with each other, Homio. These are the people that we love and who these are the suckers that we go against Yeah. I mean he had a lot of niggas that hated him or whatever for what he did or for whatever he do, but they never came to him and said that ship or they never pressed or said nothing to him against someone nigga. And he didn't press his line so many times and it said and did whatever he wanted to do over there,

you feel me? So you know, many nights on the hung out winning gunn slang slung goat herd, heard old stories, me, my sister, a little bro listening to him, just sucking up the knowledge like these as legends. And I'll get a chance to be around you. I've seen your book in my daddy closet, the top of the closet when I first grabbed it and looked at it. Now I'm really actually around you, you feel me. That's one of

the things I was gonna say. Me being from Ohio, he definitely was one of the names that was ringing bells when they started talking about the cribs and the bloods across the country, because the way we got acquainted with the crips and bloods in Ohio was they was coming up to the seale dope. Yeah, that's what niggas was taking. Yeah, but it wasn't no no hostile takeover shiit like how niggas talk about niggas was pretty much come up there giving niggas the good prices and the

things they were selling. Ship up next thing you know, you got niggas in Ohio. It's claiming they from here, they from oover here. That's how it usually spread. You know, Niggas go set up out of town somewhere you know, and and start getting off out of town, find a crew. A lot of a lot of times you didn't have, you know, like what they depicted in the movie Niggas coming to town next to you know, you haven't shootouts

with it. To say that niggas didn't hitting into it, well, you usually could find a couple of niggas who wanted to, you know, represent which what we was from, so they get the claiming or get their faction going out of town or whatever. That's how a lot of this ship spread, especially because Ohio Cleveland has won them broke as cities. Dog, there ain't no money in Cleveland, so you need to go hustle a star. You feel what I'm saying that

they ain't like there's no hillic jobs out there. See in La you kind of got a thing to where, you know where the ship get sucked up for nigga. Nigga, go find him a security guard job. You feel what I'm saying? Jobs quick, you can go find some money if you get some money in your pockety. It ain't like that, know how. We don't have no industry so to speak. The biggest thing we had come out of Cleveland was our senior Hall and Bone and that was it.

They boned the fuck out. They tried to open the label up and know how, but the ship was just so. You know, when you got poverty, man, that's where you gonna find a lot of the bullshit that because people don't have no money exactly, they don't have no ends, they don't have no snaps, so they gonna do whatever

they need to do to get that going. So when you got niggas that's coming from out of town and they got all the motherfucking dope resources and they put you on you for show, you like, man, shit, I could feed my family now, and not only that, now I want to lead as motherfucker hell yeah, for show. It was niggas as you see, I got on and never want to early back. But I still love Cleveland. That's always hear. It's some good niggas always be heart

aching and all around. You know what I'm saying. Niggas just go through situations where they from. Yeah, especially if you have to roll up in the hood, so to speak. You get me, that's just the path that's gonna happen, you know what I'm saying. And a lot of times it's because niggas are stuck in poverty and some fuck up. I'm gonna let you continue, Yes, sir, so on Monster Cody. Was on Monster Cody. How you talked this sucking up all the game from the big homie Manum. He was treacherous.

He was treacherous out there, man up. That's what made a lot of us, you know what I'm saying, be who we are as survivors. I call it survirus. Then you have some homies that's non survirus. They get put off the set, ran off and stole something this some weird shit off some drugs, Like right now, we got so many homies off Crystal Math. Man, It's sad. I'm talking about that ship running all through the county. Jail

man fucking up. Real niggas though, just based on they can't handle the situation or at the time, so they need a heart. And from this last time when I went to prison, I was in the county jail. I seen it. I seen it, Homie. They was in there chasing the dragon, Homie, real home and real niggas. You lose your squabbles. I've seen how that should take you down. Crystal math on me. That's the last place you want to be off, Crystal Man. Yeah, man, you get your ass.

You don't never know when to spend it, jump off. You get it now. Niggas doing that shit freely up and then they sneaking it. They sneaking it, man, you know what I'm saying it. Back in the days, you would just see the essays and them doing that ship. It was like, I don't know, I said, we nigga, We DP niggas just for doing Potter. If you was in the set doing Potter, niggas, if you shurped out in front of us, you're a liability, Homie, right, that's a DP. Go home and get shump thoughts. Go sit

in your garage and get wet. Don't come to the set and get wet to where now we got to carry you away from this ship. Was just talking about what I'm saying. You shrimped out niggas come through busting niggas. Niggas will do that wet like it was. Yeah, ganger, Homies was on that. Yeah, I just didn't understand it. You're for a nigga who was representing the neighborhood, and like you said, niggas got to be on point at

all times. I just didn't understand after weed, niggas is already getting fucked up off a cheap ass liquor and forty ounces and shit, and then you want to go do something. A lot of a lot of g's got cute back in the day, sitting in cars in alice, not at all, not off like a motherfucker. Wami didn't see it coming, and I knew a few niggas walking up and down normally wet. My homies. Wait at Homie, it's where you'd be like, damn, man, this is what that ship due to you. How you standing on the

corner with nobody there. You just stuck standing there like damn, that's slipping your liability. Now if you get killed with the name you got, your big homie could be somebody. You can have a name, one of them names that they're gonna get points off of. Now, if you are here doing stump shit and you slipping doing drugs, you you a liability. You get killed. Now, we gotta go put in work. Now, we risking our lives to go

in the prison. Niggas might get caught driving. Ain't going to go put in work with the strap putting in work, get cought putting in work. You know what I'm saying. Now, you see all the losses that come with you and your stupidity. We're losing more good homies now because you get shot. Oh here off drugs, slip and want to walk up down the streets like like it's a game. This shit ain't a game. It ain't been a game,

and it ain't won. Now I'm telling the truth. I ain't out there like like how I was for what I did. That shit already, I know how I go and I know what comes with it. Hell no, hell man, I'm shitting. I want to relax. I'm gonna live and see my kids. You're out there every night hanging yeah, like just as you dedicated to it. Down the block. Then you're trying to serve a little bit. You know, strange cars coming down. I'm the blog. You gotta watch your modem watch you all know when the pool or

not the pool? You dog, It's it's like it's like everybody. I won't say everybody, but I say real niggas deserve ass slide checks on me. You laugh. I'm serious, though, Nigga. I don't feel comfortable going to the gas station in certain people areas, and I ain't living like a normal human being. Anybody that comes from the inner city dog is going through some type of PTSD dog post traumatic stress disorder dog. Because you all, you never know when

it's coming from. You always nervous, especially when you're a member, Homie and you and you, like I said, for the real niggas, that's sliding and putting in work when you know niggas know who you are. You went to school with these niggas. Niggas know your face. That's for the area I came from. I went to school my enemy square with with them. Know who I'm shooting at. I

know who I'm You know what I'm saying. I know the nigga I got, you know what I'm saying now they're on the internet with it and make it easy like they ain't gotta get They ain't gotta hang out in the set no more. No, they ain't gotta patrol, no get online. If you game bang exactly, go to their hood and hit up and record it like, yeah, I'm over here. We didn't do that ship. You gotta continge. We was hiding from cameras. It was a little nigga that came and my motherfucking my space space, not my

my space. That's when I old I am my YouTube spaces right. The nigga that came on the mother, This little nigga told me steal I peel your cap back. I'm such and such from six, So I called the homies. Don't nobody know who this little nigga hils because I was kind of like, man, who was this little nig I'm gonna slap the ship out this lit nigga when I see him, Yeah, never see ain't gonna never see him because you can't pay attention the ship like that.

But that's what we had, and that could have been a real motherfucker online. Yeah, he probably just could have built some type of way at the moment man, and he knows I could get away with this like the rest of these dudes be doing. I don't really me when that ship had I don't real niggas ain't got time for that bullshit exactly that, like, because you get that shit all the time. Man, it'd be a nigga thirty it'd be a nigga five states over talking about

or I'm trag whatever you give me it be. It'd be crips, it'd be bloods, it'd be whatever. And like I said, you look where nigga from and he'd be thirty thing. He'd be thirty states shits talking about nigga when he see you or if you ever come to his town some shit like that. Nigga, you don't even know your own hotel. You in one spot, You probably only know one spot. You probably don't even know the whole city. The Internet has created the lane form for

for I call it for motherfucking keyboard courage. Okay, thank you, it's keyboard courage. You get me um he board. So a lot of shit that that niggas wouldn't do front and center. I mean just like a like a like a broke nigga who who feel when he gets some money, he's more superior. And now I can start to you still get the shit slapped out of you like you used to do when you didn't have no money. And this buster is in my set that I haven't seen get marked out rich rich niggas. You know what I'm

saying that money don't money don't make you official. Man. If you're an official nigga from the hood, whether you the broken nigga to the baller nor nigga, if you just official, you just official. Now, if you just a nigga who who let the money speaks for it, nigga's gonna be able to spot that shit out in the love. Now we want more, We want more and more, we want more and we want more. I don't give up

nothing from the eight. As soon as you give up something from the start, nigga, so it's over, it's over. But yeah, man, it was a blessing man just being able to come up out of that ship. Man, A lot of a lot of dudes don't make it out of the ship. And it's it's good to see, you know, niggas who were really in the struggle with it. You know, because I come from the eighties and it was treacherous. Man,

come on, man, all over back then. Man, I'm talking about Nigga standing at the bus stop going to school, Nigga ready to dump and like Nigga just couldn't go. No when there back in the eighties, that's when niggas was getting killed, really in gas station killed like Nigga was getting It was fuck and it was treacherous back then. So being thirteen four team growing up, you know, gang banging, and then like you said, your parents be like you know, I was a single I was a single parent. All

my pops was in the Oklahoma somewhere. So nigga, it was treacherous and moms went to work at eleven o'clock at night and in the morning. Oh my god. It was hanging in the hood. Yeah, you told me when you was a kid, that's all that came. Hanging in the hood every night and going to the hood with the homies and just hanging and Nigga fourteen carrying pistols and you know, just but I felt the greatest in the world because it was the love that they show.

Felt the greatest in the world. Being snobbing up with twenty thirty niggas and they all love fucking bowling alley and they all love let somebody say something to you, like Nigga pulling up and endymy territories two cars deep, jumping out on niggas at the gas stags and shit like that. But but that's what mate. The young youth want to be a part of this ship. They looked

for that extra love for me. And it wasn't like we were like I always tell niggas, I never you know, like I don't know, like I don't know, I don't know sody. You know how they showing the movies and you niggas be like, oh no, you're gonna come with us. And we felt like that. I felt like, Nigga, this is where I belong. So I never felt the pressure of going on is why did you have the game bang or why did you like shit? Nigga? This was natural.

It was natural. You get me. I didn't grow up to where motherfucker's was like let's go join the sports team, or let's go do this or yeah, we didn't have them type of piers from the time, Nigga, it was time to get off the porch from cartoons and shit like that it was, Oh, the homies down the block, and so and so got the l coach and got the bug, and so and so got the Blazer truck and damn niggas came astro vasdall the bullet holes in

the walls from niggas coming through last night. And you hear it in man, you'd be like, it don't even scare you because you want to see it. You want to now, you want to. I want to be around it, like joining the military and be like, man, I don't want to go to war. Nigga, young niggas like us for real, man side me, I think about it. That ship was fun. It was fun selling dope. Dog. It was fun selling dope. It was fun doing as crazy as it sounded me as a grown ass man. Now

I'll talk about that shit. It sounds crazy as I'm almost embarrassing to sing him. But it was fun as a motherfucker dog. Because when you had the seck that means you had all the brods on your ass, your dress was up to par, you had money, You was able to go do this. She was able to go out on the Friday night slide down, sunset, slide down, whatever, and come back to the Tonic Burger and then off a few quarters pieces. That's what I'm saying. He just

They they don't do that shit, no moore and a rip off like like yeah, man were in the modern days or something where you don't see crackheads no more, man like you usually can't, not no disrespect to them, but to see the good smokers that you know what I'm saying, used to come and clean up.

But you know about this farm being Nigga. We had a smoker dog that was a teacher. I'm not gonna say what school district that was in, because you know, it was always trying to go look always cool. Nice. She would come get her stuff and you know, you bring it to her car because she was older than

Somebody was like, they can't shoot you with your back turn. So I'm always in the streets knowing this. Now, if I'm running with my burner, I'm gonna rolling my hands up,

but I got it on me. I'm gonna try to get away. They can't shoot me. I'm learning the laws as we see what I'm saying. We kids, but we learned the loss from the street. I'm going to jailing jail house. Lawyers were hearing eight cases and oh so now you're taking that knowledge and using it for yourself. You know what I'm saying, but yeah, I end up doing that. And uh, after I caught that case, I went to Y. Did four years and six months in y, Californa, and ut the thirty yts always closed. I did all

the hard ones. Man got kicked out of Ventour. After that, I still fucking up violation every year, hanging out with the homies. A violation were far deep standing here crash pull up, violation, you hang with homie, violation for hanging on my brother baby Sody. I ended up any doing four months. But they end up um paroling me because he was my brother. You know what I'm saying. They tried to They tried. They took him in too, so

that's a trip. So they tried to get you just for hanging out with your brother because he was from the set too. Yeah, that shit crazy family members, that crazy, and I used to be, you know, I couldn't stay away from my little brother man. But violation after violation, another gun case. Now I'm going to prison. I had to do U thirty six months my first time. Then my second time, I did thirty two with eighty They gave me an eighty percent, you feel me. Then this

last time. But After that the thirty two to eighty, I got off a role I did nine years straight on the street good end up catching another gun case at the park. So then that's when I had went down this time and did the last little months in Lancaster prison that fold. They sent me to a level four foot gun this time. I didn't understand why, but I was thinking, like, you know, squabbling in the county. I went to the hole twice, so that boosts my

points up, you know what I'm saying. But then again, God probably wanted me to do hard time this time, you know what I'm saying. To sit down and really think about what I'm gonna do. Instead of being in a dorm running around talking playing pan uckle all day, sit down here with these old g's and talk to them. I end up running to my mother brother, the one

I just got out. Before he got out, I ran into my uncle al Capone in Lancaster prison, first time meeting them, and hours what I probably I've been out for three years before. He just came home. So he was already down body like thirty thirty nine years or forty years or something. Touched his fingers through the dough. We cried like a motherfucker, my nigga, you know what

I'm saying. And my mamma cried with Joey because she always told us about her baby brother from the set and he went down and ship, you know what I'm saying, and me being with him, me she knowing me finally

meeting him, you know what I'm saying. It was just like yeah, now you're in there, my little brother nigga, like yeah, he again because she looked at me and my blutele brother like her brothers, and you know what I'm saying, like, nigga, Okay, y'all remind me of my brother's big bo Peete and my little my other brother al Capone. You know what I'm saying, coming up real gaises like we had it hard. Pops made it hard

for us. He trained us like army Man's in the garage, wads in the hood, growing up like Cat's song, second and third generation gang, you know from the set all the time. If you're living in the set. Look we had and we had brothers and sisters the Broomfields man, they was like sodis. I'm talking like, you know, brother sister, brother brother, brother, brothers, sisters, cousins. I got cousins. That sodis. It's a family name. They kids, you know what I'm saying.

They was like our neighborhood family. So they like what they call it the household name exact. And that's where we all used to hang from because I used to be from a different part on the other side of the neighborhood. And then once we all got together, that was the spot we the house on Barclay, that's where we all kicked it at. So shit, you kind of like boring into the hood by default there. Yeah. Man, even if you're saying I want to be a football player,

Yeah, I'm sure because I'm gonna get back and see, I want to get back, and you know I'm going through the little timeline right, yes, sir, definitely. So you pass

your penitentiary days and all that stuff. Man, Now you back out in the street and you're starting to when did you get into music? Shit, I was a kid in church, singing, getting playing the drums. I didn't start writing music until I got in why to where it was like time for me to just chill out. I was in the fighting squad and I just had it hard in here because I just trying to build my reputation. My grandmother passed made it worser. A lot of niggas

don't know about why. Man, it's worse. That's worser than the Crison Gladiator school. Yeah, man, that's why you see something be solid like me because we went through the hard shit. You know what I'm saying to where you gotta stay solid? Are you gone fall? You see that you solid like you're gone fall. Are you gonna let a nigga sex play you what you're gonna do? Are you gonna let her nigga play play bagging games on you just to test you. I didn't do none of that.

See how you looking straight? That's how I was looking in there. I ain't never letting nigga sex play me play no bagging games. When it start, I stopped them. They always called me the Grinch from from Ya to the county jail to prison because I'm always just chilling. I'm relaxed. I don't I don't like playing. I feel I'm like I'm too lazy to play. Like I'm too old now for that playing shit. You feel me. Niggas used to say that. Now. I used to be like,

sh ain't nothing funny. Yeah, I mean, I mean I'm chilling because I'm a I'm a game. Someone nigga tell me something like let's go get some money or something important, like I don't gonna be one to play all the time. No more like that. Playing ship was cool back when your horse playing a ya and ship. But all that shit when you hit prison, that's shit. They make you stop. That's when everything stopped. When you hit that yard, all that horse playing ship, all that playing around, joking, and

that shit stop. I learned that shit in prison. I was cool with it. I wasn't doing none of that shit anyway. This is what I like structure what This is what I like structure up. This is the seriousness. Yeah, now I can trip on the niggas with the goofy shit. You feel me exactly. And I got the right too, because the big homies ain't just gonna let you fuck the program up on the yard, don't know stupid shit.

So it was it was structural homies. So you leave all that playing shit leaves you when you hit prison, like especially if you're in there and learning and you around the right o gs and you just not in there goofing around with the homies, fucking off your time, not learning nothing. You know what I'm saying them. The niggas I stayed away from. I stayed on the way pal, I read books. I listened to Oldi's Homie. That took

me through my time. You know what I'm saying. When I went to prison and ship, you know what I'm saying. So when I got out, I was able to be more mature, like I ain't had nothing really to prove how I was when I was younger, Like I wanted to kill everything any moment, any chance I got. You know what I'm saying. I wake up, go to the set I used to spend the night in it said, that's why I'm gonna miss a mission. That's sad. That's sad, Homie.

When I should spend a night in the said, just because Nigga's going on one, I don't want to miss it. That's how deep I was in that ship, like the devil had me in the headline treacherous homie, and I was one of his number one soldiers when it came to this ship. That's why I was telling you, hey, like I didn't. I wasn't shouting out my uncle like that. And through the industry because I knew who it was. And you know what I'm saying. He wanted me to build.

I built my own ship up, I'm saying. And then when he seen me coming from the game banging and trimping ship, he was able to introduce him to people and let me know, like, whoo, man, I'm gonna put man Lord rest my uncle Mansa Pooky sold. This was the time that he was plugging me with everybody DJ Premier eight. He was letting me know. Everybody worn and he telling them why they on tour with with Q.

He letting them know backstage tradey all of them. All of them would tell you, yeah, your uncle Holliday us man who whoa? We don't know that was your uncle. Man who WHOA? That's your uncle. I was like yeah, because you damn you for damn sure got around the like rap game Elite. You was fucking with something. Everybody. You had to cast some about the Atlanta that she was, well, yeah, hell because I was signed with I wasn't really signed with, Jeez.

I was over there basically just working and doing music because you feel me. Um, it's always loving respect to my nigga, Jeezy know what I'm saying. I was living in Atlanta with them niggas for like fifteen months, like I didn't want to go home. You know what I'm saying. I'm going on tour with the nigga and all that chilling with him going to his hood. I got all the Westside gangsters, Duncan black gangsters loving this gangster ship. You know what I'm saying. They seeing how I move.

He's seen when I took off from him, being by myself and making Georgia with the Crypts. I'm shout out to Scrap Low Jay Bone, Rested Piece, Pooky Loco, all them niggas. You know what I'm saying. When I went over there and did by myself, doing my own thing, that's what niggas want to see. Like, let me see Kenny Savave, let me see how they my home is gonna react to this nigga, Like is this nigga weird? Or you know how that ship goes? And I stayed down like my character, you fall in love with me.

That's what niggas respect. Because niggas don't like nobody that got They got leaned on them too heavy. Niggas be wanting niggas to stand on their own, and I went out there with my own ship, get my own money, all that, do them out. I never asked him for nothing, you know what I'm saying. He always gave, Like like, even when I caught my case, he helped build me out. You know what I'm saying. Shout out to doll for that. He bailed me out on the case, you know what

I'm saying. So I can never like he never did nothing foul to me, like a lot of people say. The music shit, don't be The business wasn't right, you know what I'm saying, So I never I just looked at it as an experience. Man. You know what I'm saying. I got good followers and people out of being with CTE and going to Atlanta and flying around meeting tr and fucking around with Nellie and meeting all these motherfuckers I used to see meeting through Jeez. You know what

I'm saying. Niggas didn't want to be around me because I was so much treacherous of a game member. So now I'm with Jeez, Now I'm getting in these doors around these niggas. You feel me, So now I'm fucking with Freddie Gibbs and all these other niggas. You know what I'm saying. Cool niggas that's from Chicago and Gary, Indiana. I'm around all these niggas now, you know what I'm saying. But they still see the gangster rhysm, you know what

I'm saying, But they fall in love with him. When you do it the right way, when you ain't too extra out trying to do the most, then that's what niggas look at you like, Man, this nigga right here, Man, we feel well, just test this nigga. You know what I'm saying. That's when you're doing the most. That's them the type of niggas I stayed away from, man, But it was a good experience, man, being down there in Georgia,

just my first time leaving out of LA. I never was like going to other states like I was a set rat hood rat. I didn't even go to other nigga's hoods party in my own set.

We're just gonna make it big, bring everybody, making everybody be involved in this ship, media, all of that ship. Because we from two crypt sets that you know what I'm saying, started a whole lot of shit, you know what I'm saying. Separated the crypt card, you know what I'm saying, so right right there would have just brought us to you

know what I'm saying. At least it would have showed a little bit more glue to what we're trying to do. You know what I'm saying. Um recipes to the homie Nip the March. You know what I'm saying. I took my homies to the march, you know what I'm saying. Up, That's what I was gonna ask you about. How big was that for you man to see in your lifetime? Man? My thought was real powerful man. They had hit me in my inbox. It real big pac Man pac Man from over there and his home grow. Um Lady Boss

Hall Lady Boss Hall and and on Instagram. You look at media like, man, do you trust this shit or not? You feel me? So I hit the nigga pack man like man, it's my safety straight and my straight my safety and he assured my safety is like yeah, homie on sixties, you good. We want you all to pull up, so you know you go. I get at the homies something. You know, they don't be with it. You know how this shit is. Niggas gonna fuck that and all that.

Who you got something? Nigga's like, well, let's just see how this shit go, Like you know what I'm saying. So I had a nigga playing good cop bad cop with me. I had a nigga playing a role seeing who was talking shit and who wouldn't you know, you gotta do it. I played chests because I played chess man and I had the niggas. That's that was fully with it, Like that's a good thing, you know what

I'm saying. But my whole purpose was if I could get my little homies to this march and they can see my big homies in reacting with they big homies from sixties, it just showed them that it was unity back in the days, like these niggas was actually like this, we was one set back in the days us and then we was one set and a lot of my little homies don't know a lot of their little homies don't know that nigga, our big homies called cases together

and all that. It's facts. I didn't seen it. I'd random, I know, you know what I'm saying, did all kind of serve together, party together, fuck bitches together, all of that. But just due to that one incident, it was a separation, a big one, you know what I'm saying. And then, like I say, like always be saying like shit, shit different, like you got big homies now that some niggas be like, I'm about my money now, fuck with them. Little niggas got going on in the set. They can have it

now when you do that, what's that telling you? Fuck it? Let them niggas terrorized the set, ruined the reputation. No protocol, no dps, no meanings. Just let them niggas take drugs, get wow, shoot wold beef with anybody. You know what I'm saying. No, it's no protocol, no structure. So that's where the fuck up come in there. It's like back in the days when we had them summer jams and all them big concerts, nigga's hoods came to a table.

I don't give a fuck if it was one nigga from every set, it was a main nigga that's gonna tell his nigga's kicked back at this concert. Safety first, you feel me niggas trying to get their money and all that. Now niggas ain't doing that. I don't think the nigga got killed recipes to Draco backstage. It wasn't. No, it wasn't. If it's a thief, homy, Why are we gonna put them together. If we ain't gonna send them at the table and talk before the ship and get

something resolved. It ain't gotta be squashed, but we gotta get some kind of understanding when we're gonna get this money. The place has got to be neutral zones, my nigga, where it's nothing, ain't nobody tripping, ain't nobody fucking it. Something like. That's like what happened with me, and it like our shows was getting separated. And then I'm like, damn, they were scared of me, homie. Oh yeah, I ain't gonna lie because they looked at me like, oh, this

nigga right here. You know what I'm saying, He in the industry, his mind, he was already passed me when it came to elevating the mind and maturing, Homie. You know what I'm saying, I wasn't there yet. I was still finding my way turning into mature and to be able to go and shake a nigga hand. Or it was just I wasn't there yet, you know what I'm saying. Um, it took a while for me to get there, homie, but getting there is the goal. Once you get there, it is beautiful because now you can you now you

live through all of that ship. Now you can tell the truth to where your big homies love what you're doing. They love what you're saying. You ain't out of order and what you're saying. Like I pray before I come in these interviews. That's why I don't be liking to be reheard. Story what you want to talk, Um, shit hit me with whatever. Being homie, you know, we ain't gonna never come with no negativity. Yeah, but sometimes it ain't.

Sometimes negative ain't gonna be bad all the time. Like, all right, our conversation we're having right now with about nip me and because we was beef it exactly. It's negative, but it ain't bad. We enemies, but it ain't bad. You feel me, it's a positive coming out of it. We're talking positive. I mean, you learn the mature same situation with me and quick. Yeah. Yeah, it was game ship, but I'm gonna keep a gainst. That's when i pay

more attention to you when he this year. At first, I used to listen to you with my big brother, but I was like, damn man, I was more of a Biggie Smalls fan. You know what I'm saying. I ain't gonna lie to you. I love Biggie Small. I just keeping a nigga nigga told me, Still you don't like too. You can't be mad at me. You can't be mad at me. For the artists, I felt, I like the nigga that had talked rapped about swag and popping bottles and bitches and cool Ryan living that I

wasn't into the militant. He was too above what I was. He was too above with his raps for me. You know what I'm saying. At the time, I couldn't understand on after that ship, Park was saying like, I'm I'm a simple nigga. Give me an'some man. Shit like eight cubes and shit like I can sit and I can't understand. But they saying they breaking it down in my language, right, Man? I thought that big I like Tuparc and I like Biggie, But motherfucker's gonna be mad at me saying this biggie

was one of the biggie saying shit. Tim All the record came out twenty years ago. What's that, um, Mike hafter death and all that ship? Yeah, h twenty seven years this nigga was seeing shit on that album. Dog that the niggacau say the day and niggas be seeing He wasn't the hardest niggas around. Man, I fucked with biggies man ship and no disrespect to pot you know what I'm saying. I got love for part two. You know what I'm saying. But he wasn't really from West Coast.

He's from the East Coast. You know what I'm saying. I'm just keeping it real. It's coming right, you know what I mean. We know the adventures, so I can't really sad all in love with part because he was rapping the leg and yelling out, well, we're rapping in all of that. If anything again, it's gonna be ice tea or ice cube or nigga. Fucked that nigga Tone Low feel me, I tell you though, it's crazy. Me and Glasses was talking about that shout at the homey

toone locas. Glass was doing something with him. He t loc was the first niggas. He was really the first crypt nigga on Witte's kind of to be like the but the low tone low yeah, Leg. I was watching Tone Loco on on the box. He see niggas don't know about the box. I was watching you on the box. I was watching my uncle Master Pooky and a Foe with Cube on the box. The Box. I learned a lot from That's when I wanted to become a rapper. Back then, watching the Box the Box TV man, I

wish we could bring the box back. Fuck YouTube you feel me? Really if you look at it, they making money off YouTube, but the box. They was getting their gases off the box. You got the call. I blew the orders up on my grandma Bill. Yeah, I was, yeah, I was getting so like a motherfucker again. You can tell nothing about the phone. I was telling the fuck out of the video. Come hit you with a thousand

dollars phones bor like some shit not existed. Hey, what do you think I'm gonna ask you some serious shit, man? Because I heard this man um people giving money to games now, like the government, like the police and everything. Man, Come on, that's what I'm saying. Ask me them kind of questions because this is what I'm gonna saying. This is all I'm gonna say about this right, keeping the

gang swung again. The government is doing that because they're funding the big homies to keep the peace right in the streets. That helped the big homies eat. That's how they eat off the funding that they're given to the big I ain't gonna name drop, but you know who are they're giving all the money to, because you know who they given I don't want to name drop. And they're given the nigga all the money. And he the one that's given the Jim Brown programs and all that

the game Unity programs. He the one that's paying all the big homies out. You know, I'm saying, he paying my big homies like what you're saying, the government giving them these checks to be the safety, to be the safety protectors of the community. When we have an events, say we have an event at the park, the big homies come out with they they secure the s song. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. You got the ge homie that's running it all that

all the other big homies under him. So that's how they eat. Now. Now, say, if they wanted to all the way stop these beasts, they could all the nigga, all the g homie yatta do he put his foot down. And now it's a lot of tragedies behind these beasts, like parents got murdered, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles off these murders. But shit, how long is it gonna go go on? Back to this? Yeah, the big homies can't sit down

in there and stop it. But why And we ain't gonna get paid no more if we stop all the shootings and killings on the streets, right, if it ain't no more shoes and killers on the streets. What we need, y'all security for safe passes, that's what they call it. What we what we need y'all to do safe passage for if everybody stopped tripping and just get money, then they ain't gonna eat. That's that's my answer to why

the government is giving these hoods money. Yeah, they they're keeping big homies fed in the big homies, just telling them, yeah, we got it all under control. Ain't no murdered, death kills who but really, ain't nobody having note sit downs at no tables. Nigga's only gonna come together when it's an event, Then they come together. All right. They got a million dollars check on the table for us. Now, now let's go to the raimers. Let's go to their trade games, Let's go to the hoovers, Let's go to

the who whoo. Let's go get five o gs from over there and just tell them that you know what I'm saying, Yeah, we got it all under control. Everybody gonna be good. Everything good, cut the check, everything good to cut the check cut tomorrow. It could be murdered, death killed all if they give a fuck, as long as they ain't cracking that day. Nogas, it ain't cracking for this week or whatever. We're put in the cease fire shit out for this week or these two days then, nigga.

You know what I'm saying, Let the let let them, let the mayor and all of them know that we did our job. Now the currently crime, the killing ray went down what three fold? Niggas was getting killed a week now it's probably only one now, it's probably none, just every three weeks or some. So it makes them look like they're doing so, you know what I'm saying, But they really not. Let me ask you this, bro, Do you ever see a time? Man? Because I know,

like I said, I'm from about it. I'm from Ohio, dog, but I've been out here since nineteen eighty eight though, so I've seen a lot. I've seen a lot of changes, you know, just even as far as the way niggas you know, conduct that ship in the street like you see it. Nigga's his own mind with it now. It ain't as much face to face interaction. Do you ever see it being the time? Do you ever see a time coming? Man? To wear it all this shit go

kind of chill out? Hell no, man, I'm keeping it real with you, know, g because all our babies is growing up with hating the hard man. I just told you, ain't no big homies sitting there telling them what to do. No more. So you think because of lack of structure is Yeah, it's gonna keep going, man, keep going. And the big homies waiting on that generation under them to say something, waiting on them to tell these nigga woo. But it gotta come from up top, because it gotta

come from the Triple Og. It gotta come from the generals. Do you think that the bgs in the neighborhoods want to listen to the ogs? Yeah? Man, if you got the right names talking, if you got the right reftable in front of you, yeah, they're gonna listen. Are you gonna get smashed up? Who don't want to listen? That's saying you ain't from the sets, saying you're gonna get the set too big for the program. You don't want

to listen? Nigga, put twenty ten niggas on you, fucking three man, Now, don't put ten niggas on you that you you brew sleeve whooping niggas whooped ten niggas. I bet you you hit the ground nigga. So yeah, even if they don't want to listen, they got to. You're banging our ship. Little nigga, you got to I come

from that that cloth. Yeah, that's that's it ain't no. Only only thing reason why now is because you got young niggas out here knocking older homies out because the older homies smoker now, or he's been drinking all his life, and or some niggas, some older homies ain't got no squabble like that. He was a killer back in his time, so you gotta give him his respect. He made the way for you. Lets you know what, you just text

on something. Let's talk about that. Because you got niggas out here to bust their guns like motherfucker right bush they guns. I'm talking about that sixtuations to where really they can just knuckle up with a nigga if it's an issue, right yeah, But they're reaching for that pistol first. They don't want that loss. They don't want a lost man. Like I didn't see niggas in the county jail. Reptable niggas squabble, and it don't be like no niggas locking up.

It'd be like it'd be like, nigga, I ain't trying to get knocked out in front of everybody. I gotta reprotation. You gotta reprotation, do you feel me? That's how I be. It don't want they don't It's that loss, man. You don't want to take that loss in front of the public exactly, not with with social media and all that. Ship. Yeah, that's all. I'm knocked out in jail and it is so street see ship and to say, oh, my nigga, and how they get that man, howga get that nigga?

Hold me, hold me? Got the in the shit big and put you on blasts in two seconds. You can't even come back to the hood with respect. So niggas, it's different. It's just a little different the loss. So it's a loss because I always looked at that man as life. If you can't use these motherfuckers right here, you can have all the motherfucking guns in the world, that's cool, but what about these That's why I was

blessed to be raised by gorillas. I came from a cradle champions man, from my granddaddy, my uncle Monster Pooky squabbles, my daddy, Big Sody, squabbles to knock our artists. So me and my brother had a rough I told you, we came about the garage lifting waists kids fouring them five in the morning before school, Homie. We didn't go to the skating ring. We didn't go to the park. We went to the garage and played with the pit bulls. He wanted to hear them waiste clean, clean, clean, clean clean.

He wanted to hear that speedback. That's how pass raised us. I'm watching my uncle Monster and other big homies come over there lifting waist late at night. I'm in the back with them. They're drinking podies different ways. So that's the structure I came from. Pops raizers like army man, preparing us for the streets. Yeah, man, you know what I was gonna ask you, man, it's been a lot of stuff. Man, with this Internet, like I don't see not just sit back and look at all this shit.

There's a lot of you know, it's a lot of different people out there, right, sir, that's pushing They lyne or they look agenda. Right. What the Takashi situation? Man? When that popped off, right, I kind of I kind of saw that coming before it even came, right, you know, before it even came, I said, Yeah, he always on the boat like it ain't nothing that's keep going, you know. But but I saw that situation, man, and it ain't just him, because everybody always, you know, want to just

kind of like pick on Takashi. It ain't him, man. I've noticed man a lot of entertainers. Man, he'd like to come out here to la some of them as official. You got some cats like Daves really yeah, because he really do is due diligence. He really from where he say he's from, right, even little Wayne. You know a lot of people you know, used to get on Wayne. But I was like, no. When I was in New Orleans and we pulled up at that club, me and Homey Glasses Wine had about thirty forty niggas up the dog,

there was real official you know niggas. They was out there. What do you think, man, about these cats? Man? This like industry casts, man, and they come to these neighborhoods, Dog, and they kind of like ingratiating themselves for the sets. Man. They actually getting put on these sets right now, Dog, in some situations, don't you think they could be a little dangerous and treacherous. It's stupid to me. It ain't dangerous sort of treacherous. It's stupid. Are they paying the dude.

You you you you you get a million dollars to come back in game banging to lose your life after you got niggas. Real niggas like me. We work hard for that break because give me that million dollars or give me that hundred and fifty two hundred thousand break in the deal, Nigga, you won't see me. I'll be the invisible man. You only see me doing shows because and videos. I want to stay free. Nigga want to cherish this. Yeah, and the reason why I say it

could be dangerous and traitorous. Dog A lot of niggas got locked up behind that ship. But niggas said think like now, they gotta be from somewhere to be a rapper, al here to be protected. Like half of these niggas got put on twenty one in twenty These rap niggas, you know what I'm talking about, These la rap niggas, and some of them ain't even from them. They set. They're just letting them bang it because they paying their way, like letting them come and be a part of whatever.

You know what I'm saying, I'm just keeping the game. So these niggas ain't even putting in no word, y'all just get put on just to yell. They set to promote what I say, promotion, promote the set. Promote the set. Homie, you big in this ship, promote the set. We're good breaking them off of the little crumbs, you know what I'm saying. You get you one of your big homie, whoever puts you on and got you solid and relevant in the set. You probably get him a whip, some

nice gold chain, probably fifty hundred thousand. He gonna make sure niggas off for you. Now you got niggas around you, He gonna make sure you got the niggas. He gonna make you look good like you've been over there for years. Nigga, you ain't killed nothing, nigga to hunt. Don't nobody really know you, you know what I'm saying. So it's cheating because they paying for that. They paying for their friendships and shit like that. They paying the yelli sets. They're

paying to look like killers. They paying a rap I sacked or or I'm sliding and they wrapped, and these niggas ain't sliding. These niggas as actors. Niggas like me did the shit. That's why they don't. We ain't own like how we're supposed to be on. And you know what's saying about it as that niggas really feel they

gotta do all that though, to get on. And I'm gonna tell you, and I think that because it's almost like a curse being from laf you a rapper, if you don't have no affiliation with nobody niggas everywhere else is looking at you like man like, like nigga, you man. You know what I'm saying. It was fucked up. Back in the days, they were scared of this gangst of ship exactly. Now they are in love with this gangster. They infascinated with killing it, drawing down it, lashing. Niggas

didn't go nowhere. Motherfuckers didn't want to play no music on the raid. Come on, man, because it was killing it. Walking up with about five homies from the neighborhood. It's like, oh no, the video people getting scared, Like now they are fascinating, Oh wow, video people want to be around honey crips. Now they like fucking nigga. The industry love it. Murder death killed They loving it now. I didn't understand it.

Why when I was talking that gangster shit. Like, now, why I gotta switch my music up just a little bit, just you know what I'm saying it so that y'all wan't like little Sooty's still tripping in the streets. He's still I ain't gonna never change, you know what I'm saying. I'm changing for the good, but I'm gonna always be me homie. Well, you got some major ship going on. Now. You got the documentary you're doing with the honey Beat, right, Oh yeah, man, shout out hey that we got the

It's called Street Games, Real Kings at La. It's about the businessman and slows and boys. That's a big picture that I'm in. A big movie. It's it's about this. I don't think it's a doct think it's like a real Oh this is a movie. Yeah, because up see, he called me and told me about it. He was like, man, this should be like snowfall. You gotta scene look like snowfall. When I was in the warehouse, I was like, damn that shit like that. He's like, you look natural, nephew,

you feel me? So yeah, I'm open for acting and all of that. You out there getting to it though, You out there getting that. We talked about that positive change though, because we need we need more real cast dog to get opportunities dog. Because it is a lot of sucker is m. It's a lot of That's why you know when they say don't meet your heroes almost every and I don't never say no other niggas my hero necessarily, but don't never meet niggas that you like

because you wind up being disappointed. Yeah, because they act weird. It's been crazy with me because all the niggas I thought would be weird actually turn out to be the coolest niggas, and the niggas I think would be cool to be kind of like on the flaky side, you know what I mean. Yea like that, you know what I'm saying. But you've got a lot of shit going on, man, and anyway we can assist with it. Oh yeah, God

is good, man, Uh, God is good. Big home me Like I said, Uh, I really talk on these podcasts and do a record. You feel me right, because the people feel your words in your your life story and what you gotta say, feel a better connection. You know when they get to hear some in demp shite like

with music, you know, it's always an expression. But when you get that have a conversation with the mother without without the beat exactly, it always hits a little more different because I always find myself intrigued with different guests that come on the show and they tell their stories, and you know, you kind of put yourself in some of the shoes that they were in. A lot of us came from a lot of the same shit exactly, being from poverty and growing up and in the hood

and in and out of jail, and uncles and cousins. Man, just being around that line. And I was a kid, But I'll see you in the movies and shit is like I didn't know at first. I'm like, man, could hear he a real game member? About big brother ke. We used to watch them like like, hey, you need some help home? That for Yeah, that's that's all. Oh

like that right there right there. People. You know, you see people play that's real life shit though, be happy to play gangster and you see movies and then I tell niggas like Nigga used to love to get up and go to the hood every day. Yeah, that shit was like it was real. Nothing better. They didn't want to miss nothing. It was slipping the sick same clothes three days straight at it, and you'd be like, damn, a nigga could have lost his life that day or sail for a long time that day if I didn't

do this, or blah blah blah. But I tell niggas in a minute, I wouldn't trade it for nothing, man. I learned from all of that shit. Nothing nigga, the pussy, the dope, selling, the carrying, the heat that the squabble that it makes you, It makes you respect, being able to wake up and go. Damn. That was twenty years ago, but that was thirty and I'm still here. Lord think because there's a lot of niggas that we know. That's good that we went to elementary school with, or high

school or junior high. A lot of niggas didn't make it, man, Man, some of them left young too. And the crazy shit about it is niggas was standing right there with you. We was doing the same shit you give me. We was doing the same shit the day before my nigga got killed or the day before. But he wasn't doing nothing,

no different than me. Nigga. We was both standing on the corner yesterday smoking smoke, or we was both rolling to the liquor store to get some drink, or we was both you know whatever, and then that quick second, my nigga got took out. That's all the tick man we here on broad Time. Dog always still people. I'm walking the same block though, give me, I got the

same band down in my pocket. I'm throwing up the same hood and just my nigga got took out, and I'm still walking around here, and you look up and go twenty years later, God, damn, like it's a blessing. I always just thought like, like, damn, man, the sick gonna be here when we all leave this motherfucking Yes it is, unless they gentrify them, Yes, they take over and turn it or something else. I was gonna still be there. Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you still be there.

The motherfucking streets that you walked up and down, motherfucker's gonna still be there. I'm gonna tell y'all something like what they're doing, and wat's right now? If you notice all the people that's been living in the projects and watch for you look beautiful over there. What they're doing now is they're telling them, hey, we got a house for you while the palm deal. Yeah, yeah, but that ain't cool too though, Like it's like y'all moving there

more into the debt, the dirt desert desert. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like they're figuring that, moving all that outwards two hours away, an hour and a half away. It's it's gonna take the problems away from that side looking fucked up and all of that. Like this prime really state what the west side of Theo's man, what they used to call saw sent to Los Angeles, West Dell, LA. Now if you notice they even changed the name of it, it's West Dell, LA. Now. Yeah, back over there in

the Mortist place. You know, so the housing prices over there steady rising. Man, they're getting you know, they're about fall million four house over there, and they're moving people out, like you say it, out to the desert, right. And if you look at what they're doing it, you know, West Dell, LA watch and all that stuff, all that stuff is gonna be prime real estate people. What they did to the Jordan Downs, Yeah, it looked beautiful over there. They got a little mall over there, Nike mall shoe

stores and ship over there. And now for they say, for the tourists. I'm like, damn, the tourists gonna come that far from the airport. Yeah, they're gonna Movember take over and be like this was the fact, this is famous. Watts you get me. I heard it was white people. A lot of white people too that I was somebody watch riots and a lot of there's a lot of gentrification going on over there where the Jordan Downs used to be. But that's the that's the whole plan. It's

what the whole place. Think about it. If you can, if you can cause the property values to drop down to dirt cheap prices and come back and get them and build on them. Man, you wi automatically if you look at it like a from man said, He said, man, I was living in Compton p nine honey for one bed room back then. And Nick said, man, I got on my ship, left everything and went to Mississippi. It's cheap. It's cheap. Like right now, everybody leaving La. Everybody going

to Vegas, deal, Ancaster, Arizona, Arizona, especially Arizona. They leaving that motherfucker because it ain't no rink control no more. They turned in They turned in La into into fucking like New York kids with everything just four five thousand building. Yeah, when you know, so it's like la is gonna be like if they turned it into the Listen, we just want a major everything. And I'm gonna tell you something. My house is cool. I live in you know, it's

a nice house. But when you think of how a million dollar house should be in, my house wasn't a million when I bought it. I bought my house like maybe five hundred thousand. Now it's rose exponentially, and I'm like, damn, And I look at what I can get from Texas in Texas or Mississippia, Alabama, some motherfucking were if I sold my crib, man, I could sell my crib. I could take this down here, put you know, take two out of that money I got and go buy some

some big ass ship for the same price. Dog for actually less. You know, you go down there. I remember it was the time I almost moved to Atlanta, man, maybe eight years ago, and I was gonna move into a seven bed room my house dog. And when I tell you, I wasn't buying the house. I was gonna rent it. When I tell you that house wasn't number fifteen hundred bucks a month and I had five bedrooms dog fully basement with that dog can of shit. Dog, it was gonna wind up being two grand a month

with Hla feet in all that shit. But it wasn't ship set up six bed room two grand. I was gonna be in a motherfucker MANI. But it was Nigga's rent out in rinting rooms out it was. It was gonna be the ship. Dog. And I'm gonna tell you, dog La, it's over priced. Dog, Yeah, it is, man. That's why you know everybody buying property in Ohio Georgia like, that's where I'm I want to go. Like you know what I'm saying. When I get my spot, I do want to go live in Georgia. You know what I'm saying, Man,

I love Georgia. Dog. I love just the green trees, the green grass, like the open space between the houses. You know what I'm saying, You got more land the kids could play. Well, I'm gonna tell you like that exactly. I'm gonna tell you who came up down on it. That Nigga, that Nigga Dass has been buying property in the South for twenty years. Dog for twenty years because he got you know, shit in Alabama, not to put all his business out there. Now I've been seeing him

on but you know he popped out there. I was building a little ware of houses. The has a deal to warehouses. They said. He building the club in the back of his house so he don't have to tour no more. So the niggas gonna come down and he gonna build a hotel behind this ship it is. It's a white dude. Me and fro Do shows for a Mississippi. He lived there, he got this, He got a hotel, his home in the club. So me and fro come

I ain't Attis Bird, Yeah, I ain't him because you know, me and A don't have the discussions like dog, know because sometimes, man, you gotta get the fuck owned dog. And that's about to tell the homies frobody from La Man, because a lot of the La homies do got that spider.

That's what I called the spider complex. Like if you called Nigga spider spider, don't do the sting in the web right there. They ain't going nowhere. But if you come in that web, they gonna tell your ass up right, Yeah, tell your ass. Just don't got no out less like that. In La, everybody they hate on each other. So how can they ever sit down and talk with you to get some money if they always pillow talking about you got more than me. That's one thing about our town, man.

But if you sold more, two more records, more than me for just no reason, Nigga ain't never done nothing to me, never slapped my mamauck, none of the shot at, none of the homies nothing. I just don't like that, nigga. And you have no valid reason other than a nigga

hustling shining man. And and it ain't even to the fact that I'm trying to floss my hustle on you. I could just pull up somewhere, jump out the car and you walk in and you ma that's a motherfucking That's how they attitude of niggas here and that that's why I being on me. It's to hate man. We hate to see the next man succeed if we not. You know, we don't like to congratulate here, especially your own con Yes, the homies sometime like it's like I

Oh no, you know me when yeah, I got you got exactly good looking out because they usually be like like hey, uh over here like that like they had a little shit out here. Yeah, I'll be sitting right here at the check text because sometimes like get this motherfucking because you know, Brian helping the show, right, so

so shout out to Brian. Brian behind the scenes, he helped us produce the shout out Brian, and you know he had texts me little questions. Sometimes I say my mom asked this or whatever like that, and so I used getting there, I get one text out look up and I look over this and he looked at me like like I was like, nigga, man right, they ain't be running the hour. He did that ship and not

once this shout out to you. Eight big love and respect, big homie, two seeds sometimes three real niggas a platform, and that's what I'll be saying. I I hate to I'll be hating the funk with niggas, you know, like the typical nigga like because every time still be like we're gonna do this, nigga, We're gonna do this, nigga, And I'm like, man, why we're gonna do this, nigga? I like that though. I like that real niggas who deserve it, no that have been in this motherfucking street

shit and who have came where I come from? And then first of all, you raise the piece to my nigga. Man, you know what I'm saying it and so that's what they do. Um, but just realness. I like to have

real shit on the show. Um. Positive always just do the typical nigga, you know, the typical rap nigga or the typical this or that, because if we deal with niggas from the streets, it has to be a nigga who has shown that even though I come from the streets, I got somewhere else to go, then the street something

else to look forward to. And you've been doing that with the music, man, so you knows why being in the hood, representing the hood and then just trying to make that transition of music where niggas accept you like it did. I'm still from the hood. It didn't like not to cut you off. I don't want to leave this out like it's hard for me to do this rap shit because of I'm from where I'm from, Like the neighborhoods, they got all the an rs, they got

all the help. You know what I'm saying. I ain't no hate or nothing, but I'm just keeping against it. This is the truth. This is what I know. You know what I'm saying. It's hard for a nigga like Little Soldi to be in a good position. Um. A lot of a and rs tell me this man, man, So do you know they're gonna put they come before you. You're hard, you got every thing you got to look to sound, but they're gonna put him first. Like no

large bro. I was at the table with a nigga. Um. I think it was Sony and um due to the homie passing. Um. I don't know if it was due to that or whatever. But I didn't get I didn't get the deal. You know what I'm saying. Uh, he went to the hooster card. You feel me. So it's a lot of things that I have to go around to try to become the man of my dreams. It ain't easy for me to just you know what I'm saying, Terry,

I don't have a big homie in the industry. It ain't No, it's not one homie from gangster cript in the industry that's pressing the line. I'm my big homie, mad bole and do it. There's a lot of people in the industry. He asked about him. He knows all the producers and oars. They all know him when I talk to him. What's up, Jemmy Madbone. But he just he one of the generals that just like you said, he in the set. He comfortable right there. He don't

want to move around the world. And you know what I'm saying, or getting cameras and the niggas was real killers back then and fighting real murders and shit, you know what I'm saying. But I don't gotta be homie in the game to help me like that like they did or like they do, you feel me. So that's why I'd be sitting back chopping it up with Dub and he just be encouraging me to like keep going and shit, you feel me, like, don't let that ship

discourage you. Y'all make sure y'all gonna check that Dub SEJ Max show them the homies right there. Yeah, So shout out to CJ. Mac Man, Yo, yo, yo yo, what's been going on? You know I got you can do it one time. Oh you need to own my mama, hear oh man, I'm just chilling. Man. I want to make sure I got my nigga up in there. A lot of people don't even notice my potting to right here. Man,

I was doing my music two thousan ten. I was re not that everybody to get into video like all the you know, it's around the time when the New West was going on, young Young Westcott rappers trying to get their ship going. Sody one of the only niggas that tapped in so and so, you know, it was like damn, you know that nigga didn't even know me like that far as you know what we're rocking with now.

But it was on some genuine article type shits. So by me having access to platforms and been on the platform myself, I always wanted to make it my business.

And then the story that he got going and his position everything, y'all just talked about it need to be told and it need to be presented, and they need to be out there because people don't know, they don't understand, like the whole fabric of this South Central gang banging shit in the politics with niggas rocking with each other's deep we don't like each other, you know what I'm saying.

And it was some inspiration coming along before the homeye pass and people don't know that they was trying to you know what I'm saying, show that glue he was talking about. So I felt like his story was gonna get lost in the shuffle of a lot of podcasts. Don't start getting on that and spreading that and start using these media outlets, spread the real message from niggas that's really from the local red light, you know what I'm saying. So that's that's that's what I've been doing,

is trying to bridge gaps. My name, man, I appreciate that's official. Appreciate you bro man before before we get a body here. Man, it's a lot of people, man that make it their business. And I'm not trying to make this no black or white thing, Dog, but it was a black and white thing, so I'm just gonna

keep it one thousand. It's a lot of people, dog that want to get our people on their platforms and make us look like we illiterate, make us look like we're ignorant, and start shit up amongst each other, start the visioning the community, and motherfucker's wind up really getting hurt and shit really be happening now here because y'all not involved in. If y'all do anything for fucking views, man, I swear man, it'd be the YouTubers. Yeah, you know,

anything for fucking views. Y'all do some shit, some misleading ship in the title that could really go get the motherfucking hurt dog like like, no, cap my interview I just did right at the holding court. The YouTuber switched my words and said I was dissing it and my interview I just did. I showed them out. I never disrespect him at all. Oh, I think a little sody say it was scared of look at this YouTube, nigga, man, No YouTubers, man, keep it real. Don't do that shit, man,

y'all start it's right now. It's it's popular for motherfucker's to put up whatever for content for their shows because, let's face it, a lot of niggas need that. When when they can't have a riginality, they can't hold decent conversations with niggas about realism, everything turns to let's just create some content. It's a lot of motherfucker's out there, So you just have to be cautious of who you do interviews with and who you speak to because, like I tell them, it's a privilege for you to be

able to conversate with me. Yea, yeah, And you know what, let me clear something that right. I'm happy as a mother. I have the dumb gang banging the literate motherfucker that you think because I'm from content and I wrote, Yeah, I'm gonna clear something up right now. Holding Court is one of the allies. Dog, that's the homie. We're not referring to his show because you know, motherfucker's we all take we recording YouTube and comments and ship. Yeah, because

you have to because what they do. You can go on YouTube. You can go on YouTube and the YouTube or got um the Holding Court interview that I'm doing. He put it up there saying that, um, yeah, he don't take don't you don't take your interview? Yeah, see what niggas is doing now, because that's the way that they their own content. You know what they're doing. They leave me, they lead me out of it, with me out of it. Don't share my shit like that. Man.

They take our content and they make a reaction video to it. But it's the way they're really stealing your content. And they say, yeah, look at on there heat this and this nigga. They're doing that to get clicks. Man, I'm gonna tell you this, and that's first thing they're gonna say, MC this woo whoop, what the fuck? And we conversation And the reason why I'm saying that we're taking our ship back, Dog, we take ship back in our hands, Dog, because what happens, he was Dog, They

gonna be disrespectful. Dog. They gonna make motherfuckers look stupid. They gonna have motherfuckers out here beating with each other, got all the young homies looking stupid. Shook him, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, they shook him, But look what he was using us, using us. That's why I was happy on the last podcast I had, like Black podcast is less utilize. A lot of people took our platform Dog because we was doing this type of we were doing this brand of journalism Dog way before a

whole lot of people. When I thought of this show, Dog, it wasn't you can count on your hand maybe three podcast Dog Black podcast that was out there. Then that's when they want to start talking about the homies from the streets and start doing this and that. But you are not allowed to come into our communities. Dog, you don't do ship for us. You don't do a motherfucking

thing for us. All you do is try to put our men, put our people down, and fifty stays away, Yeah, making these ups, trying to make up content, and so you get exactly sitting dropped the location, the load your nigga a thousand miles away. Just be careful about who you fuck with, who you talk to, because like I said, a lot of people aren't in your best interests, a man, A lot of people aren't in your best interests. And a lot of people are here to see you fail.

You know, Like I said, there's jealous niggas all day and they want to see you fall. A lot of people don't want to see you succeed. So be careful who you waste time with. You give me because like like that, and it's a privilege to talk to a motherfuck like that who can give you some information about how ship it really is. And don't have time for motherfucker be trying to twist up and start beefing, because

we got enough for that shit, exactly. And I you know, and I'm not even talking about these little motherfuckers that leave comments and stuff, because I tell you right now. I have my concealed carry license, so I wish one he hell would think it's a game. But anyway, let's stay on the positive. Yeah, but you gotta let him know though. Let's stay on a positive note. But don't don't get yourself hurt, man, because I take all threats serious. So and they be saying all kind of shit loose

lips man, like they disrespect you in the fouleest way. Man. That's one thing I hated about social media, like I can't grab this nigga, like y'all made a platform to where you could be disrespected in it the coldest way. And it's a motherfucker ain't even got a picture on his Instagram. Yeah, he ain't got no followers, he ain't got nothing, all zero. I really believe that these niggas you see, they just don't made the channel of two

days ago. I believe him be motherfuckers that you know that motherfucking balls or whatever to say whatever to you, that you be a perture right next that nigga sitting right up sometime sometimes dogs, I swear I'd be like time to make a channel, the whole email, the whole thing, just to say what they wouldn't say in your motherfucking face, and that notes like that nigga Charleston White, Okay, he was sorry for believing that nigga out fuck Charleston White.

Nigga dis my son rest in peace. Man. It's on YouTube, you know, it's some podcasts got us up there on YouTube and all that. It was a conversation about it, um me being against I am shit. I couldn't just leave that out right now. I forgot about that ship man and he'd be running around saying shit and thinking he people got people thinking that he for us, he for the blacks and all that shit. But you go

around and you dis and dead children. You know what I'm saying, Like, um, that shit ain't cool, man, I ain't. I ain't. And then it was like I didn't even disrespect the nigga. The nigga said fuck crips and fuck bloods. All I said was, oh, he was like, you'm dumb, motherfucker's. All I said was, Homy, all crypts and bloods are not dumbing it. Literally, it's a lot of smart and intelligent crips out here. Then once I replied, I guess that's I guess that made me, mad, I ain't saying

nothing disrespectful. I just spoke up, you feel me when he was saying all that at the time because mine he was out here with my big homie Mayo informing at the time. That's how he was able to run around La and all that shit. You feel me shout out to Mail that's the homie right there. Yeah, so you know, um fuck that nigga, Charleston White. I hope you see this ship and be looking nigga, because my mama told me don't reply to him no more on the social media ship because she's seeing the ship. You

know what I'm saying. She like, all that igga doing is putting the police. So you are wearing the police of you. You a reftable son. You already know the police crashing and know you in the hood. All he trying to do is get you known by all the police, now social media police. I forgot about the industry police, you know what I'm That's all he doing. He getting that all the niggas yelling and cussing at all these niggas, but y'all not knowing that, he getting y'all noticed by

the cops. That's all he bringing awareness to y'all. Yeah we we at the time on the internet. Now, dog that said the all time hot motherfucker's threatening people and then motherfuckers and you know what's crazy. Dog, I'll be looking at some of these little niggas sometimes like, do you know I'm fifty something years old, I'm a grown I'm a real grown. And see, they don't care about that. They care about you showing that gun at fifty years

old on Instagram. You show that thing like little nigga nigga, you're on there talking that ship with them. Two guns. That's what they that's what they respond to shit like that. And I hope and you have to just be careful who you talk to, who you fuck with, because the nigga tried to draw you out of your elements, ked around these blocks. And if you've been seen and heard and you've been keeping your eyes open all this time, you know what the fuck is up. Don't be dumb

and don't play dumb like they think we are. So what if you're hood nigga or whatever, use your intelligence, nigga. Amen, A lot of hood intelligent niggas, man, That's all I'll be trying to say. But that's another reason why, Like I said, what's the other connigga name? Man from five five? The nigga that making all the noise ce Matt Matt, Like it's cool, Um, he came from a whole nother state and came out here and started cripping. But like I was telling them, like, um my, people's just from

his hoods. So they wanted him to come do some feed the homeless in the set. I'm like, he can't do that because of the how he moving, homie. And I'm just keeping the gamester with you now. I told him, you get me to sit down and I talk to this dude and let him know how to move so

you'll be able to go in feed the homeless. And and you know what I'm saying, I let me sit down and talk to you because I'm gonna talk to you like a gamester and like a big brother too, And let you know, like that ain't how we you wrapped the car as being it's like no, no, no, hold on. We don't like to be laughed at because it's not to be a joke on how we live our lifestyle as crips, homie. And I'm just keeping it real I'm not hating on how you're getting this money

and all that. Like the nigga from No Jumper call him a character, a cartoon character. The white boy Adam calling him a cartoon character. But you're fucking with this same white boy that's disrespecting. You're calling you a cartoon character. He did. Obviously he don't look at you as a real crip. Right. I wish nigga would call me a cartoon character or I'm play for I'm playing with this crip shit like it's a host or a game for promotion.

People get killed over this ship. Back in the days, you couldn't krip walk if you wasn't a member in the up s Snoop Dogg, all of them Nigga said it in their songs, ChRI krip walking if you ain't game banking. Now now it's it's it's it's it's a it's a it's a new dance. It's a new dance. The kids do it so they think it's cool, but they're not even knowing you could get killed over krip walking.

These people ain't telling these kids that they man, we couldn't do no crip walk back in the days as a kid Whomi what nigga mo papar nigga any ncus krip walking around a church doing the move? Nigga we're getting what with a stitchy cord getting fucked up? What when we couldn't crip walk back then? Homy wasn't none of that. That wasn't no just free. There wasn't no free dance. A lot of shit has been watered down today. You know a lot of shit has been made commercialized.

You know a lot of people want to exploit uh, you know, the actual cripping blood shit because of you know where it started and where it is now. You see it now, it's been represented in a whole total different light. It's like it's a fact. It's like you're like a fad, like you say, because we remember from shit. I remember it's like real serious to be cripping in blood and with some serious shit. It wasn't like a fact, and it wasn't like, oh, let's just put on a

bandama and claim a set. So to have people um kind of downplay it, like you say, niggas crip walking and being called clowns and being called characters kind kind of devalues. What a lot of niggas who have died for or as far as whether you're cripping or blooding, it'sation, you know, it's it's just been. It's just been what

motherfucker's it known? Like you said, it's been a part of our culture, and for it to be commercialized it makes it seem like what a lot of niggas who have died for and really represented for, Like now it's a joke and it's not taking many niggas who are still in the neighborhood to more still represented. Not that niggas is out, you know what I'm seeing doing dry bys on niggas, but still just the fact of representation from the neighborhood so solid. So would a nigga be

wrong to bang on your nephew? You see him krit walking? Yeah, I will tell me where you from? Yeah, I tell because in our days you got from king. Who are you from? You know? But like I said, I got a son who's eighteen years old. He's never attempted. You give me see what you don't hear him say, you know when he being there talking with his friends, you

don't hear him go, yeah, cousin, you know? And yeah, because it wasn't a fact, like you know, you know your dad really game bang, your uncle's really game bang, like shooting that nigga's fighting scrapping representing we really did that, so he knows it's nothing to commercialize and play with a lot of people who do who have those backgrounds. But then, like you said, there's a lot of people in the industry now that see what we did and

what we represent it as commercialization. Now, like shit, I'll get fucking the cheerleaders from Duke University to crypp they do it now. They got a whole routine I'll get. I'll get the cheerleaders and I'll get some I'll get the I'll get the dancers on on fucking dancing with the stars. I'm gonna tell y'all both something to feel me now, I'll live in a suburban community. I don't live in the hood, you know what I'm saying. I'm live in a suburban community where his motherfucking doctors and

every fucking body else to live around. Right, motherfucker's is getting up going to work every day. Anyway up at the class would my wife be doing her look jazz and Mattas and all, you know, the little Robots and ship. They have a crypt walking exercise class. But is it the dude. It's a dude on Instagram. He'd be doing that, you know what I'm talking about. He'd be dancing song. Yeah, yeah, I think with the wasting it. I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think a white woman running his class

dog but commercialized that bad dog. Man. We're gonna end it on that me heard. Let me see her, let me see her crypt. I'm gonna bring you the things take us out still, y'all what it feels right there?
