Speaker 7242.52s - 243.48s

Well, you know,

Speaker 5243.64s - 248.14s

um, back then it was big on the numbers and the freshes

Speaker 7248.14s - 250.16s

and the MC8 PRODUCT and all that, so

Speaker 15250.16s - 252.36s

I just went with MC8 PRODUCT, man,

Speaker 7252.5s - 254.16s

trying to be different, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 14254.24s - 257.52s

But I was a high fan of KRS 1 PRODUCT.

Speaker 5257.64s - 258.5s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 17258.68s - 260.22s

So that's where it came from.

Speaker 5260.28s - 261.62s

I tried to pattern it after that.

Speaker 17261.86s - 262.32s

That's crazy.

Speaker 5262.64s - 264.66s

Because I always want to understand for that now I know.

Speaker 17264.96s - 266.18s

You know what's funny shit, right?

Speaker 5266.56s - 269s

I tell the story all the time. This is part of the story

Speaker 17269s - 270.78s

I didn't say.

Speaker 0271.38s - 272.9s

John Singleton PERSON was my homie, right?

Speaker 5272.92s - 273.2s

Right.

Speaker 0274.12s - 277.5s

And before he passed, I would always like,

Speaker 5277.7s - 283.92s

like, fuck with him. Like, yo, when are you going to put me in snowfall? And he looked at me one time and said, you will never

Speaker 4283.92s - 285.98s

be in snowfall. He

Speaker 14285.98s - 287.58s

said, your East Coast accent

Speaker 4287.58s - 300.9s

is so fucked up. I could never pass for a West Coast LOC actor. He said, no matter what you do, Nora PERSON, you can't get away from it. And I was like, holy shit. So what I was going to do, I swear to God, I told this side of the story. This is the side of the storythat I didn't tell.

Speaker 5302.36s - 307.02s

John Singleton told me that one more time, what I was going to do was I was going to go hang out with you for a month.

Speaker 14307.86s - 309.84s

I was going to just hang out with you for a month.

Speaker 5310.04s - 317.9s

Because, boy, let me just take you something. If you blind somebody and they hear you talk, West Coast all day.

Speaker 17318.12s - 318.5s

Okay.

Speaker 5319s - 323s

All day. Like, have you ever, like, try to, like, do another accent or...

Speaker 17323s - 330.36s

No, I've never been asked, you know, with movies or whatever, even with the video game.

Speaker 15330.36s - 331.28s

You grant that photo, right?

Speaker 5331.28s - 332.52s

Yeah, they was just like BU.

Speaker 15333.12s - 338.42s

It's distinctive, I guess, you know what I'm saying? And it presents West Coast LOC, so they love that shit.

Speaker 5338.48s - 345.2s

All day. But I heard you're in Grant Def Auto, but you never played Grand The Photo PRODUCT? No. You never played that shit. I? No. You're not allowed.

Speaker 14345.44s - 347.6s

I never played that shit.

Speaker 17347.78s - 351.44s

I get dizzy as fuck playing them moving around fucking game.

Speaker 14351.82s - 352.92s

You feel me?

Speaker 17353.02s - 354.94s

So, no, I never played this shit.

Speaker 14354.94s - 356.52s

You never played your own character?

Speaker 17356.66s - 356.9s

No.

Speaker 5357.32s - 357.84s

Nah, it's live.

Speaker 14357.9s - 358.64s

I would have did that.

Speaker 5358.8s - 358.96s

Yeah.

Speaker 14359.12s - 359.68s

I ain't allowed.

Speaker 5359.98s - 363.08s

I was in Def Jam, Vendetta WORK_OF_ART. I wouldn't play with no one else. No shit?

Speaker 17363.12s - 377.1s

I would just use myself. Yeah. I never got to play it. I mean, I wouldn't play with no one else. No shit? I would just use myself. I never got to play it. I mean, I wasn't interested in it. Doing the shit was, all the kids loved it. You know, I came home with it.That's big, yeah. Yeah, they loved it, but I never played the shit. Never even watched the shit.

Speaker 5377.36s - 391.24s

All right. Yeah. I heard you say that Pock was at the table reads. Right. For Minister Society. Yeah. Everyone thought this was speculation. So you say in one million percent the table reads for minister society. Yeah.Everyone thought this was speculation. So you say in one million percent he was supposed to be Sharif PERSON? Yes.

Speaker 18391.42s - 392.46s

That's kind of well known though.

Speaker 5392.7s - 393.2s

It's known.

Speaker 18393.94s - 395.3s

Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 5395.42s - 396.14s

They talked about it.

Speaker 17396.68s - 398.08s

They wanted him to play Sharif PERSON.

Speaker 18398.34s - 399.78s

He didn't want to be the positive character.

Speaker 17400.78s - 403.22s

It wasn't that he didn't want to be it,

Speaker 18403.42s - 406.14s

but he wanted them to show why. Yeah, he wanted to twist. He wanted to change the character and they didn't want to be it, but he wanted them to show why.

Speaker 17406.82s - 409.72s

Yeah, he wanted to, he wanted to change the character and they didn't want to do it, right?

Speaker 18409.72s - 415.88s

Like, okay, if you, you know, you got Lorenz being old dog and then eight PERSON's doing this,

Speaker 17415.96s - 421.48s

and then everybody has these characters where, you know, they're heavily neighborhood.

Speaker 18421.8s - 422.08s

Right.

Speaker 17422.22s - 426.06s

But he's supposed to be the voice of reason. And we all know

Speaker 18426.06s - 428.16s

Tupac, you know, with his roles

Speaker 17428.16s - 429.98s

and all that shit, he

Speaker 18429.98s - 431.6s

wasn't the voice of reason. So

Speaker 17431.6s - 445.46s

why am I, you know, the noble one? So he wanted them to at least show why he changed. But let him to that. Yeah. Right.Show me killing a nigga or something

Speaker 0445.46s - 446.8s

show my nigga going

Speaker 15446.8s - 448.84s

to jail

Speaker 0448.84s - 449.52s

or some shit

Speaker 15449.52s - 450.38s

and me getting

Speaker 0450.38s - 452.12s

changed in jail

Speaker 15452.12s - 460.52s

or something but y'all got to show why I became him when we in this motherfucking land of everybody's notorious

Speaker 7460.52s - 464.68s

so he was finally just changed the whole script up and shit didn't I tell your ass

Speaker 17464.68s - 466.94s

you weren't doing no interview today.

Speaker 14468s - 469.28s

Today they interview him.

Speaker 7469.58s - 469.92s

Yes.

Speaker 14471.5s - 472.16s

He was going to start

Speaker 7472.16s - 473.96s

he's like we on the pot

Speaker 14473.96s - 475.6s

bucket. Put it on that side.

Speaker 17475.88s - 478.08s

He's going to start asking questions to a shit.

Speaker 14479.04s - 479.84s

Yeah. So

Speaker 17479.84s - 480.72s

oh man.

Speaker 6481.92s - 482.88s

How has

Speaker 17482.88s - 485.46s

West Coast LOC? And this is a question for both of y'all.

Speaker 5486.04s - 506.62s

Because I remember the West Coast sound being like Roger Trotman PERSON, like that type of thing. Then it turned gangster and then it turned, well, it's still gangster. But it's like this new age. How are you embracing the new age? And I'm not talking Kendrick PERSON. I'm talking about the new, the new up-and-coming West Coast LOC artist.And the question to both for y'all. Steele PERSON?

Speaker 7507s - 518.24s

You know what? I embrace all of the main town of the little homies out there getting to their money and getting to their bag and everything. But I think the thing that made hip-pop, hip-hop was the regional thing.

Speaker 14518.82s - 524.52s

Like you listen to somebody like when I listen to your album, I got a story on based on where y'all was from.

Speaker 0524.52s - 538.84s

That's what I'm saying. When you're easy and you're supposed to be able to get a reflection of confidence. I think as long as they stay, I think if everybody just stay in their lane, it'll make the game a little bit more better, it'd be a lot more parity. Because right now everybody sounded like they either from Atlanta.

Speaker 15539.14s - 547.7s

At first it was Atlanta. Now Detroit ORG got their thing going on with little triplets on the drums and all that. So you hear everybody doing that shit, just like they was on the shit from England for a minute. Yeah.

Speaker 7548.14s - 574.28s

We need to start going back to our shicks, you know what I mean, to where, oh, man, you know, you can tell he's from the West Coast LOC. Like, you know, you say when you hear Ace Voice PRODUCT, it's distinctive. Right. Because this motherfucker exude West Coast LOC. He don't give a fuck, you know. You exude where you from.He exude where he from, and I think that's what make hip-hop dope. But I'm not mad at the little homies for them doing what they do. And I just think that's because the problem is the West Coast LOC is they suffer from the Quoted On syndrome. If you notice

Speaker 4574.28s - 577.82s

every rap... The Quoted On, would you say? The Quoted On Syndrome, you know, you get jumped in the game.

Speaker 7578.96s - 588.48s

Every rapper on the West Coast outside of him come from that NWA ORG family tree. When you think about it, everything is kind of like extended from there.

Speaker 0588.6s - 589.28s

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 14589.74s - 592.44s

Shug, winning Pilex ORG, you know, ruthless records.

Speaker 0592.98s - 607.48s

And look at that generation, you know, that spawned, you know, the M&Ms, the games and all of the other people, 50 cent and all of them. But it was a time where if you weren't from up under that tray thing, wasn't unshaken. He was one of the only dudes. I think him and ICE ORG,

Speaker 7608.44s - 617.22s

him and ICE ORG kind of broke out of that because they was with a DJ. King T PERSON, too. Yeah, King T. But they were all in the same thing. That was on the DJ and Knowns thing.

Speaker 14618.1s - 622s

So the DJ played a real pivotal part in hip-hop,

Speaker 7622.04s - 631.18s

and a lot of times the DJ don't get their props no more, and I think that's it you gotta remember Noree PERSON when your podcast came in the game it was a barrier to entry in hip hop

Speaker 15631.18s - 633.92s

you know motherfucker didn't have for $50 an hour

Speaker 7633.92s - 635.86s

to go to the studio so you had to have somebody

Speaker 15635.86s - 641s

that was going to plug you up kind of and hook you up. Motherfugger's getting beats off the internet now dog

Speaker 17641s - 643.54s

ain't nobody in there coaching them up so they just going off

Speaker 14643.54s - 645.38s

for what they think is hot and Ain't nobody in there coaching them up, so they just gone off what they think is hot,

Speaker 0645.38s - 649.76s

and ain't nobody really being developed.

Speaker 7649.76s - 658.62s

Rap is different, and that's coming from everywhere.

Speaker 17658.62s - 660.76s

My era was telling stories.

Speaker 14660.76s - 665.96s

You know, there was a lot of things we saw as far as growing up in the neighborhood

Speaker 17665.96s - 667.34s

you know now

Speaker 14667.34s - 670.3s

not to take away from the youngsters

Speaker 17670.3s - 681.14s

because it's a different sound you feel me I try to listen and but like I said I was 19 18 once

Speaker 14681.14s - 683.8s

all I cared about was

Speaker 13683.8s - 685.92s

the neighborhood and who we could

Speaker 14685.92s - 687.82s

pop and who we could roll on.

Speaker 13689.8s - 691.46s

So you've got a lot of that

Speaker 17691.46s - 740.32s

in Youngster PRODUCT music. We'd want to I say stand on their identity as far as where they come from. But it's different because in my days,West Coast LOC music was about storytelling. You know, we all told stories of the neighborhood. I tried to tell stories of growing up and the negativity I saw as far as both sides. You know what I'm saying? We was gang-banging, we was neighborhood,but it was still a downfall to that shit right like beware stories like a lot of stuff is glorified today in young music you know um and social media has changed the landscape of it so my take on it

Speaker 18740.32s - 745.64s

is uh you know it's it's just what there is just the just the trendy shit. It's what they see, what they hear,

Speaker 17746.16s - 802.32s

it's what they think is popularized, it's what you think they're going to get a fast buck off of, you know what I'm saying? So, that's how I look at how West Coast LOC music is with the youngsters coming up today. I want to solidify their identity,representing where they're from. But, you know, it could take a turn for the worst because we got a lot of niggas dying right now behind our culture, you feel me? Which is sad to say. But I can't be judgmental because, like I said, I was 18, 19 too.You couldn't tell me shit when I first started rapping. It was all about the neighborhood and nothing else. And I don't get a fuck. And I'm going to talk about it, tell you about it. And if you got beef with it, then that's what's going to happen. Right, right.As you get older in music, you try to change. You see the downfalls. So you want to change the aspect. But it's still the same. A lot of youngsters get it from just coming up in the neighborhood. You know what I'm saying?It got a lot of that still.

Speaker 5802.6s - 803s

All right.

Speaker 17803.76s - 804.86s

Now, you're from Long Beach GPE, right?

Speaker 5805.34s - 806.54s

Yeah, I'm from North Long Beach GPE.

Speaker 7806.96s - 815.66s

I came out to California, reaching Cleveland, Ohio, in 88. Why? 87 going on 88. I went out to play football and wound up getting into all kinds of other shit.

Speaker 15816.58s - 817s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2817s - 818s

You know what kind of?

Speaker 7818s - 819.76s

You know, all kinds of.

Speaker 14819.84s - 822.68s

What are you signed up for?

Speaker 7822.88s - 823.52s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2824.3s - 825.08s

The whole bunch of things.

Speaker 7825.08s - 828.16s

Something about these football programs in the L.A. and the West Coast LOC.

Speaker 2828.48s - 830.34s

That's the hood took me under right there.

Speaker 12830.58s - 831.2s

Feel me?

Speaker 7831.42s - 832.6s

Still came out here.

Speaker 17832.76s - 834.24s

Out to Calian ORG was like,

Speaker 12834.96s - 837.64s

got a glimpse of the hip-hop and the females

Speaker 17837.64s - 839.72s

and the niggas on the corner and the blocks

Speaker 12839.72s - 840.82s

and that bread.

Speaker 17841.22s - 841.7s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 7841.7s - 845.72s

So much motherfucking money back then, man. I ain't have a dime in my pocket, man. And they go on the football thing. You know what I'm saying? It was just so much motherfucking money back then, man. I ain't have a dime in my pocket, man.

Speaker 17847s - 848.52s

And they go on the football thing.

Speaker 7849.36s - 853.24s

You know what I? He getting ham sandwiches and shit. That niggins and steaks and shit.

Speaker 17853.96s - 855.98s

I'm going to tell you, the lure of the motherfucking

Speaker 7855.98s - 859.8s

creeping in the blood, and I never got into the gang banging aspect because it was the money.

Speaker 17860.02s - 860.68s

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 15861.48s - 862.92s

I had a homeboy one day.

Speaker 14862.92s - 866.82s

I was like, man, he was like, he called me Ohio GPE when I first came out there, Ohio.

Speaker 15867s - 867.42s

Ohio GPE.

Speaker 7867.74s - 879.18s

Man, Ohio GPE, you need some bread, dog. Man, you need to get you a sack. And I said, well, what's the sack? You know, let me get with a sack. I went over and saw the Mexican NORP, homie, man. Got a 50-0 double-up.That was double-up, man. It was on from there.

Speaker 15880.18s - 880.98s

Motherfucking's a life.

Speaker 7881.18s - 883.48s

Change the motherfucker's life for the negative.

Speaker 15883.48s - 889.22s

But I'm going to tell you, man, it was different back than the West Coast LOC. It was real grimy, man.

Speaker 5889.32s - 890.04s

It was dangerous, damn.

Speaker 7890.04s - 894.4s

Yeah, and once you get a pistol with the back of your head a couple times, dog, that it'll make you kind of redirect.

Speaker 5894.76s - 895.74s

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 7896.2s - 901.32s

You kind of redirect because that shit was real. Ain't nothing to be glorified. There was a lot of foul shit that went on, you know?

Speaker 5901.5s - 911.7s

Right, because you being from Long Beach and you being from Compton GPE. Right? And to see this gang culture, like, that shit is like almost as big as hip hop. Oh, definitely. Like, it's worldwide.

Speaker 17912.08s - 923.12s

Before hip hop. We was, a lot of people, you know, talk about the influence in hip hop and all of it, but I was gang banging before. I even knew what fucking hip hop was.

Speaker 5923.18s - 926.62s

You get me? Like, I just came from Paris GPE and and I seen Crips in Paris.

Speaker 17926.72s - 929.22s

International. It's everywhere.

Speaker 5931s - 937.94s

For me, like I said, growing up, it was, you know, me, moms, my sister, my little brother.

Speaker 17939.44s - 943.62s

Pops wasn't in the home, you know. Neighborhood was rough.

Speaker 15944.56s - 947.22s

I'm kind of falling you fall into it, you know.

Speaker 17947.48s - 963.64s

And so it was before hip-hop, I was gang-banging. You get me, I kind of half and half, you know what I'm saying? I was fully gang-banging when I put out my first record, second record.

Speaker 5964.22s - 966s

You get me, uh... When you say game-banging, when you say, when you put out my first record. Second record. You get me?

Speaker 17967.98s - 968.38s

When you say game banging, when you say,

Speaker 5969.92s - 970.16s

when you put out your second record, you mean.

Speaker 17971.12s - 980.28s

I was still in the neighborhood. He was active. I was still in the neighborhood. You know, I didn't know, I didn't, I didn't know where else to go. All right. You get me?

Speaker 5981.32s - 984.68s

I'm still selling crack my first. I never want, you know, I never wanted to be, I get it.

Speaker 17985.24s - 988.26s

I never want to be looked at as the rap nigger.

Speaker 18988.5s - 988.74s

Right.

Speaker 16988.74s - 989.34s

You get me.

Speaker 18989.78s - 991.74s

I still want, I'm the hood.

Speaker 17991.78s - 992.8s

One foot in, one foot out.

Speaker 16992.92s - 995.96s

So we leave the studio, we to the hood.

Speaker 18996.22s - 997.3s

We leave a show.

Speaker 17997.4s - 1033.24s

We to the hood. You get me? I have concerts, I go pull up tour bus in the hood and put every motherfucker nigger from the neighborhood. And we go on into the concert. That was my belonging, you know what I'm saying?It wasn't, I didn't, the rap shit and hanging in the clubs and all that shit, I never, to this day, I still never got on that aspect, you get me, even though I'm still not venturing to the neighborhood every day, but I never wanted to be symbolized asthe rap nigger. Like, I'm just telling stories. This is what happened on my block yesterday.

Speaker 01033.88s - 1035.66s

And so, fuck it.

Speaker 141035.7s - 1041.4s

I got a avenue to where I don't have to go on the block and sell some crack.

Speaker 171041.84s - 1058.66s

I go to the studio and tell y'all what happened in the hood last night. And then that keeps me from, because we was going to jail every other day in the neighborhood. You know, before the rapping, just for standing out on the block,you get picked up. I was tired of that.

Speaker 141058.84s - 1063.46s

You know what I'm saying? You got to do something else. And just face it, I wasn't good at selling crack.

Speaker 171064.02s - 1101.42s

I take my money. As soon as I make some money, I'm going to get me a rent the club car, pick up the homies, and I wasn't, my entrepreneurship in the dope game wasn't. So the rap shit, you know what I'm saying? Because like I said, I just want to be the hood, nigga. I didn't want to, I didn't want to be the baller, the big time, nigga. When I started rapping, you know, he'll tell you right now,niggas, are you the legend? And I'll be like, stop calling me that shit. I'm just a regular-ass nigger who was telling stories about niggers I was associated with. And I'm sure it was niggas in your hood going through shit

Speaker 141101.42s - 1105.4s

and your hood and your hood. And the niggas in here that's what i

Speaker 171105.4s - 1113.28s

rapped for i'm gonna be the nigger you know all this shit it wasn't me so you never considered

Speaker 181113.28s - 1118.56s

yourself like a like a hip hop head no because you did say you were inspired by by kairas one PERSON so

Speaker 171118.56s - 1163.28s

that's i love hip hop as it gets but once you fall into the neighborhood shit, nigga, that's what I am. And then once I started rapping, I was always like the private quiet, nigger. So I didn't like doing all the hip-hop shit. You get me?I didn't feel that shit. So I just wanted to be north. Today, when niggas be like, oh, hey, I'm like, dude, I'm just like you, nigga. You feel me me i just found another way to hustle it you get me you know and i'm sure y'all going through it over there solet me come up with some shit to why i can reach niggas on the aspect of they struggling they struggling they struggling we probably all doing the same shit whether whether you got on

Speaker 141163.28s - 1166.24s

motherfucking converse or timbos or motherfucking mrs or whatever fucking mcundles or whatever we're going through the same shit. Whether you got on motherfucking converse or timboes or motherfucking

Speaker 171166.24s - 1168.96s

Speaker 141168.96s - 1171.1s

through the same shit, so let me talk about that.

Speaker 171172s - 1188.94s

And then don't feel alienated when I'm around. I'm like you, my nigga, you know, with the fandom and all that bullshit. Nah, we're going to stand right here. We're going to blow a blunt. We're going to kick it. We're going to chop it upabout some regular shit, and that's it. So that's what I've always looked at myself as.

Speaker 51189.82s - 1194.04s

Let's talk about the podcast for a second. Didn't you start out as four people?

Speaker 71194.64s - 1195.96s

Man, that's a whole.

Speaker 121196.12s - 1197.18s

That's a whole thing.

Speaker 51198.1s - 1199.08s

What happened then?

Speaker 121199.62s - 1202.08s

I was trying to keep from that from falling.

Speaker 141202.62s - 1204s

I thought you were just bugging out.

Speaker 111204s - 1205s

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 141209s - 1214.28s

I thought she was in shaking it up and they started pouring it all over you.

Speaker 71214.28s - 1216s

You don't win the championship, nigga.

Speaker 141216s - 1218s

I was like, maybe the lost of mine.

Speaker 171218s - 1221s

That's the podcast, that's the people that love the podcast.

Speaker 161221s - 1224s

That was, he's going to be out here.

Speaker 51224s - 1225.76s

Here's going to get me out. You're going to go out. It was four y'all at first? Man, he was going to get out here. You know what I'm going to get out here from our way out there.

Speaker 141226.76s - 1226.84s

You're about to go around.

Speaker 171226.96s - 1227.76s

You're going to.

Speaker 51227.76s - 1228.38s

You were four.

Speaker 71228.38s - 1229.38s

You were four.

Speaker 61229.46s - 1231.4s

I came in late.

Speaker 51231.66s - 1231.9s

Okay.

Speaker 71232.12s - 1232.94s

Speaker 151237.84s - 1238.56s

I'll tell you what happened.

Speaker 161239.2s - 1241.52s

And I ain't really trying to say these niggis' names, man,

Speaker 71241.52s - 1242.76s

and make motherfucklers famous.

Speaker 161242.94s - 1243.62s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 171244.24s - 1245.42s

Yeah, quiet on the set with that.

Speaker 71245.52s - 1249.4s

Yeah, it was, it was originally three of us,

Speaker 171249.44s - 1252.32s

the first episode, it was me, myself, and two other cats, right?

Speaker 71252.64s - 1258.24s

I had the idea maybe a year and a half before we ever even put it out. I said, man, I'm going to do a show.

Speaker 151258.76s - 1259.96s

Put together a podcast,

Speaker 71260.06s - 1263.18s

and this one, it wasn't 50 million motherfuckered podcast everywhere.

Speaker 151263.26s - 1264.3s

It wasn't nobody. Right.

Speaker 71265.1s - 1270.64s

And I said, this is what we're going to do. So I put it together, right? The Gangster Chronicles WORK_OF_ART, I'll tell you who it was going to be.

Speaker 151271.26s - 1275.82s

It was going to be myself, rest of peace, big psych from out of thug life.

Speaker 71275.86s - 1276.4s

Oh, wow.

Speaker 151276.4s - 1291.1s

And it was going to be this man right here. I actually told him about it, right? But I started having ideas because I got in the podcast and I said, I want to do something different. You know what I mean? I want to talk about hip-hop like gangster rap, but with the criminal element,but with the real, because this is a lot of grimy motherfuckers in hip-hop, right? Right.

Speaker 71291.7s - 1309.44s

So it was me and them two cats at first. We knew one of them was going to jail. One of them had just got a case, so he was going to be going to jail in six months. I didn't want to be on the show, really. I had plans to open up a whole network.I had a homeboy to work for CBS on the West Coast LOC and we didn't have been talking about it, so I was just going to get my...

Speaker 41309.44s - 1310.4s

Wow, we did that too.

Speaker 71310.48s - 1314.04s

I was going to get my Shug Night. That was just when y'all that came in the back.

Speaker 141315.14s - 1317.52s

I was just going to get my Shug PERSON on with the podcast

Speaker 71317.52s - 1318.82s

because I saw, I said, this is the new

Speaker 141318.82s - 1320.9s

motherfucking record kill. I was going to

Speaker 151320.9s - 1322.16s

jump on this shit for all these other

Speaker 141322.16s - 1323.28s

niggins find out of Bucle right.

Speaker 151324.06s - 1326.36s

So we get to doing that, man.

Speaker 141326.44s - 1327.46s

Everything is cool.

Speaker 151327.84s - 1329.7s

And I see I'm gonna bring this one cat in

Speaker 141329.7s - 1335.02s

because he's kind of like got the sociologist thing going to where he studied gangs and shit like that.

Speaker 151335.5s - 1336.58s

So I bring him in.

Speaker 141337.06s - 1337.42s

Alfonso.

Speaker 151337.58s - 1337.9s

Yeah.

Speaker 141338.66s - 1339.9s

We start, don't even say no more than saying.

Speaker 151341.86s - 1343s

Because he's a weird.

Speaker 141343.28s - 1345.28s

I didn't know he was a part of the show, though.

Speaker 151345.42s - 1345.66s

Yeah.

Speaker 71345.74s - 1347.16s

I thought he was just a guest.

Speaker 51347.28s - 1347.6s

Yeah.

Speaker 71347.86s - 1351.88s

I put all three of them cats together, right? Right. And so I had a thing going on.

Speaker 51351.88s - 1352.84s

You fucking me up right now.

Speaker 61352.88s - 1353.56s

I didn't know that.

Speaker 51353.62s - 1354.96s

I had a thing going right.

Speaker 61355.12s - 1360.68s

And so I'm going to tell you something that success breed for weak-minded motherfuckers that ain't used to shit.

Speaker 151360.86s - 1363.38s

They start thinking they're the reason for the season, right?

Speaker 61364.06s - 1365.54s

So dude, one day,

Speaker 151365.92s - 1371.48s

one of the homies told me, I'm gonna say his name because he's a cool motherfucker, James McDonnell PERSON, right? Okay. James,

Speaker 71371.6s - 1373.02s

loyal motherfucker, dog.

Speaker 151373.46s - 1377.74s

Now that, the two motherfuckers that left, I didn't give a fuck. I won't a piss on the motherfuckers

Speaker 71377.74s - 1381.92s

that they was on fire. Not like that, but, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 141382.08s - 1383.18s

Like that, like that.

Speaker 71383.3s - 1399.68s

You know what I'm saying? Not like that, but like that. He was saying? Like that, like that. You know what I'm saying? Not like that, but like that. He was a good dude, loyal-ass dude, right? And, um, but when the allegations, you know, it's speeding up.When all this stuff start coming out, man, it was, we're still in Los Angeles, dog. It's a certain code that you've got to live by a few from the streets.

Speaker 151399.9s - 1400.2s

Uh-huh.

Speaker 71400.58s - 1404.64s

And when those allegations came, I just couldn't associate with the brand no more.

Speaker 151404.72s - 1412.44s

It's like, you can't be a show, even if brand no more. It's like you can't be a show. Even if you're talking about gangster rap, you can't be a show talking about you, the gangster Chronicles and this motherfuckers are probably cooperated with somebody.

Speaker 71412.68s - 1416.06s

Not saying that's what he did or didn't, but those with the allegations were.

Speaker 151416.16s - 1418.62s

So I had to distance myself and keep it pushing.

Speaker 51419.02s - 1428.44s

But I was always thinking about bringing them in because the other dude was tripping. Like he thought he was just a king. The gang specialist? Yeah, the gang specialists.

Speaker 71428.44s - 1429.6s

The gang intervention dude.

Speaker 51430.4s - 1431.72s

The gang specialist.

Speaker 171431.96s - 1435.14s

So I was thinking about, you know, really replacing him.

Speaker 71435.26s - 1437.86s

And then Charlemagne PERSON, because he was motherfuckers starting holler at us.

Speaker 171437.88s - 1442.12s

It was a gang of people that hit us up talking about, man, we want to, you know, do something with y'all.

Speaker 71442.2s - 1445.86s

So I was like, man, all this shit will be, you know, we're in motion, right?

Speaker 151447.04s - 1449.34s

So, Charlotte Maynard hit me one day.

Speaker 71449.5s - 1451.4s

Shout to the homeboy Glass is Malone PERSON.

Speaker 141451.84s - 1454.1s

Because he had signed Glasses ORG show, and he was like,

Speaker 71454.16s - 1464.42s

man, I've been watching this one show about the shit the niggins. The old g-niggas from, I said, I would say, oh, niggas when you hear a big boy. So, and I was like, yeah, he hit us up, right?

Speaker 141464.76s - 1469.9s

And so he was like, man, I think y'all need one more person because it was just me and James at first, right?

Speaker 71470.6s - 1476.36s

And he said, what you think about MC8 PRODUCT? And I was like, thank you, God PERSON. I was hoping he didn't say nothing to mother weird.

Speaker 01476.48s - 1477.24s

Right, right.

Speaker 141477.32s - 1479.24s

Because you know how people can be with this shit, man.

Speaker 01479.3s - 1481.12s

You try to get some shit going to never get you.

Speaker 141481.28s - 1482.58s

You can never get it off the ground.

Speaker 01483.4s - 1485.82s

And so we've been rocking ever since then, man.

Speaker 71486.12s - 1487.74s

But this podcast shit is a headache, dog.

Speaker 51487.86s - 1491.28s

You got to, you know, we've been on five years, dog. It ain't as easy as people think of it.

Speaker 71491.4s - 1505.64s

No, that's not as easy. What was your favorite guest? My favorite guest, man, I got a couple of them. I got a, my nigga, too short. Short dog was a good guest, man. He was a good guest.And Crip motherfucking Mac PERSON.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 71509.4s - 1510.16s

I see.

Speaker 151510.52s - 1511.76s

He was one of my favorite.

And the homeboy Little Soti PERSON, rest in peace. My home boy, little Sodi PERSON. Little Soti PERSON's, man, history and the lost things. The streets just so extensive, man. Right.

Speaker 151521.12s - 1522.9s

Speaker 71522.96s - 1526.54s

He just lost his life not too long going to car accident and going back out to Vegas GPE.

Speaker 171526.7s - 1527.82s

That was one of the rest of the pieces.

Speaker 71528.16s - 1529.5s

Yeah, he just got to react.

Speaker 171529.64s - 1532.14s

Because you get them episodes to get reactions in the streets.

Speaker 141532.34s - 1532.8s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 71533.02s - 1540s

Like when I talk to the homies, they don't give a fuck. They just, you know how you got the gee homie. You know how you got that sucker ass nigga on there. That motherfucker ain't dissing that.

Speaker 151540.2s - 1540.4s

Right.

Speaker 71540.7s - 1543.4s

But so he was one of the motherfuckers that everybody respected.

Speaker 171543.7s - 1543.98s

Speaker 51632.2s - 1632.52s

Yeah.

Speaker 171632.72s - 1651.58s

Yep. L.A. GPE is dangerous because of how the gang element sets in to play. Me growing up as a gangbanger in hip hop,

Speaker 151651.8s - 1654.36s

it was dangerous for myself.

Speaker 171654.78s - 1690.4s

Wow. Just because I was claiming a neighborhood. Niggas didn't like the neighborhood. So you have to carry that with you. Right. And you're a public figure.Got damn right. So I had to, you've got to move accordingly, man. Man, it's today, man, it's cool. But shit, I've had niggas tell me like, nigga, we were supposed to get you. And niggas paid us to come at you.And, nigga, we saw you over here one day. And wumpty-w-w-knit. It's a dangerous place.

Speaker 151690.9s - 1697.5s

And just because of the, like I said, when you are rapper and you claim in a neighborhood, now you got that aspect.

Speaker 51698.12s - 1700.54s

Because anybody that got beef at that neighborhood

Speaker 171700.54s - 1710.74s

now has beefed you. You got that damn right. I can't fuck about no rap music. Right. That was my thing. Like, I'm a rapper, But that neighborhood now has beep at you. You got that damn right. I can't fuck about no rap music. Right. That was my thing.Like, I'm a rapper, but I'm still,

Speaker 181712.54s - 1729.6s

niggas know me from back in the day. So it, don't give a fuck because you're a rapper, nigger. You have to motherfucking light, and you're in the neighborhood you ain't supposed to be in. You might get shot up. That is, you have to, man.And that ain't even got shit to do with the niggas who just out to jacked niggas, you feel me?

Speaker 01729.72s - 1736.16s

So now if you're a motherfucking hip-hop artist and you come to L.A., and niggas PERSON is greedy

Speaker 141736.16s - 1739.76s

and they home, they're going to get on the aspect of shit.

Speaker 01739.84s - 1741.86s

Now you just got the regular jacking niggas.

Speaker 171741.86s - 1747.26s

That ain't got nothing to do with the niggas who're going to try to sweat you for gang banging and where you from

Speaker 151747.26s - 1748.86s

and why you're wearing that.

Speaker 171749.32s - 1753.64s

Where you from? Oh, you're from New York or Miami GPE or whatever?

Speaker 141754.02s - 1756.42s

Now it's like the aspect of shit, nigga.

Speaker 01756.58s - 1766.28s

Now we're just going to do some shit just because we want to show y'all, nigga, it's treacherous out of you. So it's dangerous as fuck. Now, motherfucking, other

Speaker 171766.28s - 1785.24s

places is just as greedy and grimy, though. Rap life, God damn it. If you, from that, if you ain't the happy rapper, I don't give a fuck if you ain't even claiminga neighborhood. If you associated with anything, you got to watch out. I remember at one point, though, you being a rapper, like, gave got to watch out.

Speaker 51789.4s - 1793.4s

I remember at one point, though, you being a rapper, like, gave you that safety net. Like, the hood would be proud of you. Like, when did that change?

Speaker 181795.68s - 1796.42s

It wasn't the same for him from where he comes from.

Speaker 71799.96s - 1810.54s

I don't know, nor do you see that the internet made shit dangerous, though. Yeah. Because you can see motherfuckers where people at in real time. You know, that's why I'm not, like, it's sad, but I don't let my family post pictures. Like, don't be doing that shit.

Speaker 171810.74s - 1822.38s

Yeah. But do we get home and be doing that shit? It's crazy. It's a motherfucking, you know, in acceptance. Like, the homies like, oh, yeah, a nigga won't do it. But that ain't got shit to do with the niggas on the outside.

Speaker 151822.86s - 1828.36s

We don't give a fuck because you rap it. We beefing with your neighborhood. Right.

Speaker 171828.7s - 1829.98s

You're from over there.

Speaker 151830.06s - 1836.96s

We'll give a fuck if you rap it and got Grammys WORK_OF_ART and a podcast and all that shit, you're from over there.

Speaker 171837.12s - 1857.76s

So if a niggas have been, especially if it's one of them niggas, if this one of the motherfuckers like, I don't give a fuck you, he fin of serve you. It don't matter. So that's just like I saying, and that right now it gives us that attitude that we have in L.A. GPE to wheresome niggas don't fuck with some

Speaker 151857.76s - 1873.7s

niggas and some rappers don't fuck with some rappers because first it is there first. Their neighborhood is everything and they rather please them than gettingon the song with with so-and-so you get me

Speaker 71873.7s - 1892.4s

and you got a lot of cash from out of town that's going out there starting to claim neighborhoods now right the most shit is crazy that they ain't really from that they you know no they that's the fuck their part about it they really from these places and a lot of times what happens is they come That they ain't really from... That they, you know, no, that's the fuck that part about it.They really from these places. And a lot of times what happens is they come out, they really hanging out with motherfuckers. Like, you're a million-dollar man.

Speaker 151892.6s - 1898.58s

What is you riding around with this broke motherfucker that ain't got nothing to lose for? Like, why do you want to go hang out with him? I don't understand it. Right.

Speaker 71899.3s - 1906.58s

And motherfuckers is really, and they hold you to that. When you start talking about you're going to do this, they're breaking bread like a motherfucker.

Speaker 171907.14s - 1909.72s

Like I said, growing up in the hood is treacherous.

Speaker 51910.64s - 1916.02s

And why in particular, LA GPE and that, right,

Speaker 171916.14s - 1917.78s

I believe Schoolboy Q said,

Speaker 51918.16s - 1919.46s

because people come and check in.

Speaker 181920.26s - 1926.78s

And he said, most of the time when people check in, you're checking in with somebody who got beef with this other neighborhood.

Speaker 51927.02s - 1928.8s

Yeah. And do you think that's the problem?

Speaker 171930.88s - 1940.42s

Probably a lot of problems. I, um, me being a old school cat, I don't, you know, I never really got the checking in thing.

Speaker 151941.04s - 1941.28s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 171943.7s - 1944.84s

They just came to town.

Speaker 131944.9s - 1945.68s

They came to town.

Speaker 171946.24s - 1985.48s

Like, I'm good friends since way back. Face. Primo PERSON. Niggas come to town, they hit me up. Hey, what's up?Shit, back in the days, I took Scarface ORG and Bushwick through the hood. Right. With the heat in the trunk and everything.Right. I mean, niggas gonna get me. They're gonna get them. So I gotta protect them. Checking in is the thing, niggas, you know, they claim,they do now, you know, because you know somebody, I guess you're supposed to know somebody affiliated with the neighborhood and you know, you want to let niggas know your presence then,but sometimes that might not be a good thing.

Speaker 141986.6s - 1988.76s

You know, niggas want to post where they're at now,

Speaker 171988.88s - 1992.02s

location and do, that's that new shit, Mike.

Speaker 71992.14s - 1994.7s

Yeah, really, if you come to L.A. GPE, you ain't got to check here.

Speaker 171994.7s - 2001.2s

I know you there. Like, it's a motherfucker that's, like, movie shit. Like, it's somebody at the L.A.X. Just waiting on. I see him.

Speaker 52001.54s - 2010.48s

And I'm not going to go hang out of the shit, and I ain't checking here with no motherfucker, buddy. I'm going to go handle my business and get the fuck on. I think Scooby PERSON the knoxys off and shit and I ain't shaking in with no motherfucker buddy. I'm gonna go handle my business and get the fuck on. I thinkScooby-Q PERSON said stay your ass in Beverly Hills GPE. Yeah,

Speaker 172010.48s - 2011.28s

I'm saying.

Speaker 52011.74s - 2012.7s

If you come

Speaker 172012.7s - 2018.8s

into town on some fucking hip-hop industry shit, then stay industry. Right.You know,

Speaker 152019.18s - 2021.72s

to go stay somewhere

Speaker 142021.72s - 2022.62s

or go venturing

Speaker 152022.62s - 2023.64s

into the neighborhoods,

Speaker 142024.04s - 2024.46s

you know,

Speaker 172025.7s - 2042.44s

that's dangerous. You're taking that upon yourself. You know what I'm saying? When you go into them treacherous neighborhoods, when you visit in somebody town, like they said,if your ass is there on some celebrity, you know, Hollywood GPE shit, yeah, stay in Hollywood GPE.

Speaker 72042.88s - 2051.68s

It's just about being respectful too, man. Right. Because you can go too, man. Right. Because you can go anywhere, man. I think, man, the ghetto boys had a song called The World is a ghetto WORK_OF_ART. That's the realest shit ever.

Speaker 152051.96s - 2053.86s

You come down here being disrespectful.

Speaker 72054.04s - 2055.2s

You can get your top knock off.

Speaker 152055.2s - 2068.12s

You know what I'm saying? You can be in one of these little towns on the outskirts somewhere. You go up there talking slick, you know. It's going to be on, man. You got to remember, man.One thing that happened in the 80s, man, is you had the migration

Speaker 72068.12s - 2071.5s

of the dope game. You had a whole bunch of cats that was coming, you know, to the Midwest.

Speaker 182071.94s - 2073.62s

That's why I said Ice Q's ORG on vacation.

Speaker 72073.82s - 2093.92s

That explains a lot right there. Like the real song. So what happened was it's not like motherfuckers was going to St. Louis GPE and just tying St. Louis niggas up. No, they came down with them good prices and came in loveand peace, and that's how the work got done. Because you can't walk up in nobody's section talking about we run some shit, man. You fuck around and get sent home. I don't care where you're from.

Speaker 172192.22s - 2224.94s

Yes. Where I grew up is on the east side of Compton GPE. You know, you would think, you know, regular neighborhood, whatever, but it was vicious. We had the Mexican NORP gangs over there. We had the Mexican gangs over there. We had the black gangs over there.Like I said, it was a thing that was CV-70s and it was the spook towns. We lived at the end of the block. Me, moms, my sister, little brother. Round 13, I started gang-banging.

Speaker 132226.48s - 2227.68s

What year was that?

Speaker 172229s - 2279.98s

I had to be early 80s. Early 80s. I was just, you know, gang life was what it was, man. You know, it was belonging. I didn't have an older brother, you know, cousins and all that was still back in Mississippi GPE.You know, so it was just a way for, I guess, for me to, you know, had that love. You get me, my household, you know, my sister was older, she was doing her thing. My little brother was too young,so I connected with the neighborhood. You get me... And this way, it was all pre-hip-hop, though.

Speaker 32279.98s - 2281.46s

Like, gang culture pre-hip.

Speaker 172281.46s - 2283.04s

This was before hip-hop.

Speaker 32284.28s - 2287.92s

I really, we didn't even have no fucking hip-hop.

Speaker 172288.34s - 2289.64s

So then there was a big difference.

Speaker 32289.86s - 2292.04s

So there was a big difference when hip-hop came.

Speaker 172292.32s - 2295s

Yeah, we had a lot of techno shit.

Speaker 32295.94s - 2296.14s

Really?

Speaker 172296.6s - 2301.26s

Yeah. A lot of our music was. Techno, I wouldn't. Well, yeah.

Speaker 22301.44s - 2302s

Egyptian NORP-lover.

Speaker 32302s - 2304s

I think that's as much.

Speaker 22304.72s - 2304.74s

That's my own.

Speaker 32304.74s - 2305.58s

That's a much technical. Yeah. No, no, I think you lover That was typical. I didn't consider that as much Texan NORP lover.

Speaker 22305.74s - 2313.98s

Yeah. No, no, I think you're sitting at that technology. And then, you know, about time, you know, we started listening to Sucker

Speaker 02313.98s - 2315.86s

MCs and shit like that.

Speaker 172317.42s - 2323.24s

Lanzo PERSON and them came along, wrecking crew, and then we had L.A. Dream Team ORG.

Speaker 52323.42s - 2324.62s

Man, man, you do on my interview.

Speaker 172324.76s - 2326s

Look, L.A. Dream Team ORG. Yeah, yeah, you're doing my interview. Look, L.A. Dream Team. Yeah.

Speaker 32326.2s - 2345.88s

Do you think hip hop changed the gang culture? Like, did you see the difference pre-hip-hop? And then when hip-hop came, and even before the gangster lyrics, when hip-hop came to L.A. GPE, right, how did it affect the gang culture? Did it turn it up? Was it more because if the bloods are rapping and like the Crips

Speaker 172345.88s - 2349.86s

are like amplifying it like social media exactly because of hip-hoppy.

Speaker 32349.86s - 2351.22s

You got to figure like

Speaker 172351.22s - 2353.74s

it was already

Speaker 32353.74s - 2355.48s

heated in Compton GPE.

Speaker 172355.64s - 2370.18s

Just because of the mother, I mean just the gang culture in LA GPE period niggas was already heed,, we would blast on you off a flashlight, nigga,from parliament with no fucking

Speaker 32370.18s - 2372.1s

hip hop. Wow. He was fucking,

Speaker 142372.38s - 2373.26s

you get me? Right.

Speaker 32373.48s - 2375.78s

And we cruising the fucking atomic dog

Speaker 142375.78s - 2378.06s

in parliament. But now when hip-hop's

Speaker 32378.06s - 2379.02s

coming, people are like

Speaker 02379.02s - 2381.96s

saying names and blocks. But when our hip-hop

Speaker 32381.96s - 2390.2s

first came, it was that shit. It was LA GPE drink. It wasn't no hard, Nick PERSON. We didn't get hard until Easy PERSON came.

Speaker 182390.58s - 2392.72s

And even then they weren't really claiming colors.

Speaker 172393.06s - 2396.02s

No, we had the banging on wax record.

Speaker 182396.18s - 2397.32s

What year did colors come out?

Speaker 32397.98s - 2400.7s

Colors came in like late 80s, right?

Speaker 172400.98s - 2404.32s

Did that song have just as much impact as it did the record?

Speaker 32404.44s - 2405.8s

That song, it had a huge impact.

Speaker 172405.8s - 2407.64s

It had a huge impact.

Speaker 182407.64s - 2409.56s

When I hit Boston GPE, Boston went crazy.

Speaker 32409.74s - 2418.5s

Colors had a huge impact on us because it got to show the world L.A. GPE gang banging.

Speaker 182418.98s - 2420.04s

It turned y'all up, right?

Speaker 32420.22s - 2420.7s

30, 40 niggas at a picnic.

Speaker 142487.02s - 2492.4s

Well, we just in the hood, you know, and five or six us on the same block.

Speaker 152492.5s - 2493.84s

We're trying to hustle money.

Speaker 132494.06s - 2497.76s

We go into the store, trying to piece up on the drink and the weed.

Speaker 52498.3s - 2502.3s

And a good day, niggas getting a box of chicken and we in the back.

Speaker 22502.3s - 2504.46s

Same shit left right.

Speaker 152504.64s - 2508.06s

I mean, those was good days.

Speaker 52508.38s - 2510.84s

And then, you know, the females is around.

Speaker 152510.94s - 2514.48s

That's when you ain't really, you're always beefing with somebody,

Speaker 52514.58s - 2520.56s

but you get days where, you, sh-knicker, we might go 30 deep to the bowling alley tonight.

Speaker 152520.86s - 2521.8s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 22521.8s - 2523.16s

And niggas ain't bowling.

Speaker 172523.88s - 2524.92s

That's where you went.

Speaker 22526.3s - 2527.92s

And nobody in there bowling, niggas ain't bowling. That's where you went. And nobody in there bowling.

Speaker 172528.08s - 2530.44s

Niggas all in the parking lot with the low-laws.

Speaker 42531.24s - 2531.8s

That's what,

Speaker 172531.98s - 2532.92s

that for some reason,

Speaker 42533s - 2534s

niggas went to the bowling.

Speaker 22534s - 2537.42s

I mean, that's what we did.

Speaker 42538.3s - 2541.2s

When you had good days, it was good days.

Speaker 112541.3s - 2542.7s

But then when you was on high alert,

Speaker 42542.78s - 2544.9s

it was critical.

Speaker 112545.2s - 2545.38s

You get me? Police coming through every day, somebody going to jail, you know, days, it was good days. But then when you was on high alert, it was critical. Right.

Speaker 22545.4s - 2545.92s

You get me?

Speaker 42546.34s - 2547.84s

Police coming through every day,

somebody fighting,

Speaker 172551.78s - 2552.5s

you know, whatever.

Speaker 112552.68s - 2554.7s

But to me, it was everything.

Speaker 152558.9s - 2560.52s

homies got killed.

Speaker 22560.82s - 2561.04s

You know,

Speaker 172561.1s - 2562.22s

homies got sent to prison

Speaker 142562.22s - 2563.3s

for long times.

Speaker 172563.46s - 2565.58s

But like I tell people every day,

Speaker 152565.64s - 2567.26s

I wouldn't trade that shit for nothing.

Speaker 142567.8s - 2567.98s

Right.

Speaker 152568.24s - 2572.1s

Because it allowed me to see

Speaker 142572.1s - 2574.38s

and be a part of

Speaker 152574.38s - 2576.16s

what I was able to

Speaker 172576.16s - 2581.38s

bring to the world, you get me? A lot of people was confused about what we was doing.

Speaker 152581.88s - 2584.44s

Oh, they think of colors and rags

Speaker 172584.44s - 2586.7s

and shit, and it was more than that, you get me?

Speaker 72587s - 2593.78s

And I don't think it's ever as deep as motherfuckers on the outside, make it from what I see. Again, I'm not no gangbanger, but I...

Speaker 52593.78s - 2594.98s

You sure as hell act like one.

Speaker 72594.98s - 2596.06s

You know, Mike, like...

Speaker 52596.06s - 2598.04s

I see a lot, though.

Speaker 72598.24s - 2599.08s

Why are you being around?

Speaker 62599.18s - 2601.92s

He didn't rubbed off on his ass.

Speaker 52602.06s - 2603.76s

I imagine I'm going to see a nigga just like you.

Speaker 72603.76s - 2604.26s

Like that.

Speaker 42604.26s - 2607.98s

Just a big old just, just a big old motherf I imagine I'm going to see a nigga just like you. Just like I'm a big old just a big old motherfucker.

Speaker 62608.52s - 2611.48s

I'm going to must or scary ass and the covered though.

Speaker 72611.84s - 2616.12s

I'm going to tell you like the homie glasses Malone PERSON, the homie mugs break it down the best.

Speaker 42616.8s - 2619.12s

Gang banging at this core is all about community.

Speaker 22619.44s - 2619.72s

Right.

Speaker 162619.82s - 2620.38s

It's all about what?

Speaker 42620.46s - 2621.18s

Well, that's how it started.

Speaker 162621.28s - 2621.76s

Oh, community.

Speaker 22622s - 2622.28s

Community.

Speaker 42622.28s - 2626.04s

Yeah, it's like, you know, to be technical, you're all banging Lafrey PERSON.

Speaker 172626.14s - 2626.92s

That's your neighborhood.

Speaker 142627.16s - 2628.52s

Yeah, definitely. That's your neighborhood.

Speaker 22628.68s - 2632.48s

When you go back home, though, no matter where you're at, because you're poppy, right?

Speaker 142632.6s - 2632.8s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 162632.94s - 2633.24s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 142633.86s - 2637.56s

When you go back there, you poppy, you always go to be popping good no matter where you go

Speaker 72637.56s - 2637.98s

in this world.

Speaker 52638.08s - 2639.96s

So it's all about really community, man.

Speaker 72640.12s - 2643.88s

It ain't about, like, motherfuckers ain't running around all day just killing each other,

Speaker 142644s - 2645.5s

but it can get that way

Speaker 72645.5s - 2646.5s

that's the thing about it

Speaker 142646.5s - 2655.34s

it could be real good at one time that's what made me say fuck that I had because one thing about it it ain't hard to get in the gang I'm a 6 foot forward295 pound dude yeah

Speaker 172655.34s - 2656.88s

you know what I'm saying

Speaker 72656.88s - 2659.64s

you get in the force

Speaker 172659.64s - 2660.18s

to do something

Speaker 72660.18s - 2661.22s

so it ain't like

Speaker 172661.22s - 2662.38s

it's hard to join the game

Speaker 72662.38s - 2664.16s

they don't be like

Speaker 142664.16s - 2664.44s

yeah

Speaker 72664.44s - 2666.32s

y'all got to court the homie in.

Speaker 172666.44s - 2667.38s

It would be like, shit.

Speaker 72667.38s - 2668.38s

You never get a little.

Speaker 22670.76s - 2672.28s

Every time the homie found you see me,

Speaker 152672.52s - 2673.68s

man, if I wouldn't have went to jail,

Speaker 22673.74s - 2674.52s

you'd have been from the set,

Speaker 152674.58s - 2674.78s

homie.

Speaker 72674.92s - 2675.94s

You'd have been from the set.

Speaker 152676.3s - 2677.8s

Because it's just that easy.

Speaker 72677.8s - 2692.34s

So it's all, but those were all my friends. So I saw the dynamic early, and I was in Long Beach GPE. And at that time, at Long Beach GPE, it was only three neighborhoods it was you know Long Beach GPE Insane20s and what's the name of the Mexican NORP gang over there? I forgot.

Speaker 172693.18s - 2695.76s

They got Mexican NORP gang over there then you got the little rascals

Speaker 72695.76s - 2697.16s

like the Filipino NORP game right

Speaker 182697.16s - 2699.94s

and the Long Beach Longo's ORG that's the Mexican

Speaker 72699.94s - 2701.42s

gang over there and they put in work too

Speaker 182701.42s - 2703.46s

and the Asian NORP gangs don't play either

Speaker 72703.46s - 2704.76s

oh don't they don't play either

Speaker 182704.76s - 2705.38s

and they grips too right yeah they are yeah Asian NORP gangs don't play either. Oh, don't they don't play either.

Speaker 72706.88s - 2707.1s

They're crips too, right?

Speaker 182707.6s - 2707.74s

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 72708.38s - 2708.88s

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 182710.2s - 2710.84s

Shoot your ass.

Speaker 152716.22s - 2716.52s

And so, you think about, I'm on a football team, so it's dudes from insane 20s.

Speaker 182717.8s - 2717.88s

And these are all homies.

Speaker 152719.92s - 2720.82s

The homies from insane can give me my work.

Speaker 142724.06s - 2724.34s

The homies from 20s, he don't let me hold a couple guns over at the crib.

Speaker 72725.68s - 2736.84s

So I'm cool with everybody. Never wanted to get into that. They was asking. I was like, no, I'm cool. Just let me hold a couple guns over at the crib so I'm cool with everybody never wanted to get in that they was ass and I was like no I'm cool just let me be just who I am man let me stay Ohio GPE my nigga and I just kept that whole thing because that's what people get in problems that you can't play with gang banged

Speaker 152736.84s - 2739.62s

because these dudes ain't playing

Speaker 72739.62s - 2748.52s

because again it's their community this man has been all around the world but he's still track new he had another shirt to the point he had another shirt on for you no fuck that he's still track new. He had another shirt to the point. He had another shirt on for you. No, fuck, that it's still comp. I got to wear this.

Speaker 152748.9s - 2751.96s

To let motherfuckers know that's important, and you can't play with that.

Speaker 72752.24s - 2753.26s

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 152753.4s - 2755.1s

That's how people get hurt.

Speaker 52755.22s - 2758.08s

Now, I heard you say, too, that you said that

Speaker 72758.08s - 2760.5s

Pac PERSON, I know he spoke about Pac earlier,

Speaker 52760.92s - 2763.88s

he said Pac PERSON-gang-bang or getting into the gangs

Speaker 72763.88s - 2767.62s

was actually moving, moving backwards.

Speaker 52768.04s - 2768.62s

For him.

Speaker 72768.88s - 2769.32s

For him.

Speaker 52769.32s - 2777.48s

I just think that it seems like being in the Steels PERSON position.

Speaker 172778.54s - 2814.8s

You weren't born and raised. In the neighborhood, you started claiming. So I think that at his status or where he was, you get me, it was probably backwards to want to claim the game. You get me to each his own. When you are around that, you want to be long. You want to be what?He wanted to be long.

Speaker 52814.92s - 2822.92s

Yeah. You get me? I could see what you're saying, but I could also see him too. Like, you know, just wanting to be a part of something.

Speaker 172822.92s - 2824.4s

Yeah. And he was still a young man.

Speaker 32824.48s - 2830.58s

We say it all the time. We forget how young he was 24 definitely and being and like I said you coming

Speaker 172830.58s - 2837.72s

from a situation where he was just in prison locked down and then the nigger who comes get you

Speaker 52837.72s - 2844.56s

is heavily influenced and affiliated and he's not really from there he wasn't a blood his whole life

Speaker 172844.56s - 2862.12s

he became blood afterwards. He was a football player like you. Right, right. So I get the, you know, damn, you know, these niggas clicked up and they're motherfucking representing and they all mobbing at one motherfucking beat and everybody here is,

Speaker 02862.44s - 2874.4s

hell yeah. I'm itching to be a part of that. So I get getting caught up in that, but there's ways that you still could have been accepted.

Speaker 172874.82s - 2888.26s

Right. Prime example. He comes from Cleveland GPE. He around the hood niggas. He doing hood shit with him, getting money with them. They watching his back, fuck it. If niggas get into it, he can't, getting money with him. They watching his back, fuck it.If niggas get into it, he can't fuck it.

Speaker 32888.32s - 2889.46s

That's the only, let's go.

Speaker 172889.6s - 2893.58s

But the thing with Pac, though, Park PERSON was with the shit still. I never met Pop PERSON.

Speaker 32893.74s - 2911.66s

But I'm saying, so even if it was like maybe like whatever it was before that, but once he started getting with him, dudes, Park PERSON was a front line, nigga. Oh, you know what I'm saying? Pop PERSON wasn't one to just be talking and then go and then let the niggas, the body got,Pock's going to be up in the front. Yeah, like, I've been here all my

Speaker 172911.66s - 2924.66s

since day one. Yeah. And I'm going to be an active with it. You know, I'm not going to just be like, oh, yeah, then the homies, whatever. Shit, nigga, if it start going down, I'mprobably going to be the first one to take a swing. But that's the thing with Pop PERSON.

Speaker 32924.74s - 2930.48s

Like, everything that he was talking about, he would make sure that he was about that.

Speaker 172930.7s - 2932.36s

You went on tour with Park PERSON and everything, right?

Speaker 32932.82s - 2934.54s

I did a couple of shows with Pop PERSON.

Speaker 52934.64s - 2934.88s

Okay.

Speaker 172934.94s - 2935.12s

Yeah.

Speaker 52936.44s - 2939.84s

We did the show in Milwaukee GPE where it got out of hand.

Speaker 172940.88s - 2941.54s

What happened at this?

Speaker 52941.54s - 2943.44s

Oh, man, shit.

Speaker 172945.74s - 2953.96s

I think this was right after the Yummy Kid got killed in Chicago. We had a show in Milwaukee GPE.

Speaker 32954.6s - 2958.32s

And he got on stage

Speaker 172958.32s - 2983.4s

and he stopped. The music stopped and some commotions was going on with dudes in the audience and pistol came out got shot up in the air and niggas got to jumping on stage and the whole it seemed like the whole downtown area of Milwaukee GPE at the time was just motherfuckers was running through hotels tearing

Speaker 02983.4s - 2986s

shit up like oh It was a mess.

Speaker 172986.6s - 2993.18s

It was a real riot. It happened. And I don't think Milwaukee GPE had a rap show for a long time after that.

Speaker 52994s - 3003.84s

Now, let me ask you, is there a difference and what is the difference? From digital underground, Tupac, to death row Tupac?And in between, because he had a whole in-between career.

Speaker 183003.84s - 3008.06s

Because you knew him the whole time, right? You knew all versions. Oh, man. to death row two pot and in between because he had a whole in between career because you knew him the whole time right you knew all versions oh man

Speaker 173008.06s - 3031.42s

I don't know I could say like you know just being you know just trying to figurelike you said being young trying to figure your way out but coming through obstacles and shit and coming throughyou know like you said, going from Digital Underground Tupac to Def Rope Tupac, it's been through a lot of shit.

Speaker 133031.52s - 3032.28s

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 173032.36s - 3032.82s

You get me?

Speaker 133033.42s - 3037.76s

And a lot of incidents, the Oakland incident, the shit in Atlanta with the police.

Speaker 173039.36s - 3041.08s

She can change you, man.

Speaker 133041.08s - 3046.04s

And then I think really that last fucking hit with him going to prison

Speaker 173046.04s - 3091.84s

is start making your mentality go like, man, fuck this shit. You get me? And by him being able to get out, it's not likelook at the environment he got out to go into. Now you're around the gang of vicious comp, niggas ready to, you know, whatever is whatever. Right.So I think that transition of life and not being able to find a, a settle or calm, motherfucking outcome, because we all had to get there at one point. You've got to take yourself from,damn, is this past, like me. I was like, man, I don't know if a servant is going to work. We're going to jail every other motherfucker. You got to take

Speaker 33091.84s - 3093.26s

consideration with Park PERSON was young.

Speaker 173093.68s - 3121.98s

Park PERSON was looking at all that, his mother, you know what I'm saying, like all the Panthers ORG. He was looking at all that shit going on. So that right there shaped him. Sometimes you can find the way quickerthan some niggas. I tell my son this shit all the time. Sometimes the road is longer, man, to get where you'd want to get. You see niggas and niggas pop up today and next thing you know, they're uphere and you'd be like, God damn.

Speaker 73122.26s - 3124.2s

I've been working and doing all this

Speaker 03124.2s - 3137.94s

motherfucking shit and I'm still, I said sometimes you've got to settle yourself because it's going to take you a longer. You're going to get there still. You're going to get there eventually, but sometimes you've got to takethe long road, man. Slow and steady.

Speaker 73138.1s - 3145s

You got that money as well? Well, yeah, my guy, brother, producer, he was the first one from LA, DJ Bobcat. Oh, wow. Strictly for my niggas on that album right there. And that's when he was the first one from LA, DJ Bobcat PERSON. Oh, wow.

Speaker 153147.32s - 3153.54s

Strictly for my niggins on that album right there. And that's when he was coming around a lot. That's when he had them in there with thread and cube and them. They did the joint then.

Speaker 73155.16s - 3167.76s

And he was a young dude, though, man. That's what I was going to say. He always had the hood around him because Bob PERSON, you think about Bob. That's Rolling 40s PRODUCT right there, right? That's Rolling 40 Crip PRODUCT. And Bob was producing a lot of stuff for him because at that same time, Bob was producing for Ruthless. Bob Kay PERSON.

Speaker 33167.92s - 3174.16s

Yeah, DJ Bobcat. You know, L.L. Kooge PERSON. Yeah, yeah. With the, uh, with the, yeah, bone, hadn't that.

And I was like, tell the Nick PERSON, let's go. And I went out. Whatever he wanted, I did. And I just, I remember And I was like, tell the nigga, let's go.

Speaker 53232.94s - 3233.3s

Like, doesn't matter how deep you are.

When you ain't somebody else's hood, respect their rules. Oh, that's right.

Speaker 53236.64s - 3237.6s

Well, and I did.

Speaker 23238.1s - 3238.62s

And I did.

Speaker 73238.76s - 3239.58s

So shout out of the battle.

Speaker 23239.58s - 3240.42s

Got it.

Speaker 73240.42s - 3240.46s

Yeah.

Speaker 23243.46s - 3246.88s

But, um, um, let me ask you, right?

Speaker 123248.34s - 3252.34s

Whenever I, like, like, sometimes I walk on the beach right down here, right?

Speaker 73252.66s - 3254.36s

And I can just see people walking by.

Speaker 23254.46s - 3257.74s

Once soon as a person walking by, I'm like, that dude right there is from New York GPE.

Speaker 73257.84s - 3258.8s

Like, I could just know.

Speaker 143258.88s - 3259.72s

Like, I don't have to see it.

Speaker 73260.18s - 3262.92s

Is it like that where L.A. GPE people, because let me just ask you,

Speaker 53264.28s - 3273.1s

sometimes I do get approached when I'm in L.A. And somebody would say, where you're from, what neighborhood are you from home? And I'd be like, New York GPE. They're like, all right, they didn't leave.

Speaker 63274.44s - 3276.24s

They don't give a fuck.

Speaker 53276.32s - 3287.78s

As long as soon as I open my mouth, they're like, oh, he's not the ops. He'll leave. So can you see somebody and be like, look at somebody and be like, he from the neighborhood?

Speaker 173288.28s - 3288.92s

Oh, definitely.

Speaker 53289.64s - 3291.38s

Without, they open in their mouth.

Speaker 173291.56s - 3292.52s

Oh, definitely. Yeah.

Speaker 53292.66s - 3293.28s

Just a manner.

Speaker 173293.36s - 3295.2s

Certain hood niggers got mannerism.

Speaker 53295.32s - 3295.52s

Right.

Speaker 173295.86s - 3307.62s

There's a lot of goofy shit going on today. Right. But a real hood nigger is, we just move different, man. We move different. You move different you know we

Speaker 143307.62s - 3312.3s

we're not outspoken we don't be all chatty chatty with motherfuckers

Speaker 03312.3s - 3313.86s

we just sit back and observe

Speaker 73313.86s - 3316s

and you're gonna know a real hood

Speaker 03316s - 3319.24s

and then real hoodnigger gonna acknowledge you back with just a simple

Speaker 173319.24s - 3334.84s

that's it we're gonna say oh where you from a wumpty womp we tend to not you know the shit if you're a real nigger you're from somewhere so We're going to say, oh, where you from, a woomty womp? We tend to not, you know, the shit. If you're a real nigger, you're from somewhere. So we try to, we bypass that.But there definitely, you can spot a goofy nigger or want to be from a real nigger.

Speaker 53335.04s - 3335.28s

Right.

Speaker 173335.8s - 3345.66s

Now, let me ask you, have you ever been cool prior to, you know, you being older when you was younger, where it was shroud upon.

Speaker 53346.02s - 3348.9s

Have you ever been cool with a blood when it wasn't cool to be cool with the blood?

Speaker 173349.24s - 3356.9s

Yeah, I knew plenty of bloods. Oh, really? Back in my, yeah. Yeah? I think that's the misconception that everybody has.

Speaker 183357.06s - 3358.56s

That blows in crypto.

Speaker 53358.56s - 3359.14s

How does it work?

Speaker 183359.14s - 3359.18s

How does it work?

Speaker 53359.26s - 3359.5s

Explain.

Speaker 173359.94s - 3360.42s

Yeah, please.

Speaker 183366.92s - 3367.22s

Some dudes might be family members.

Speaker 173370.66s - 3370.86s

You've got a lot of family members that claim different neighborhoods.

Speaker 183371.1s - 3372.12s

Wow.

Speaker 173374.48s - 3374.62s

You might have a cousin who's a blood.

Speaker 183375.28s - 3375.52s

I never thought of that.

Speaker 173375.8s - 3375.88s

Yeah, I know.

Speaker 03376.32s - 3378.9s

I never thought.

Speaker 53382.94s - 3383.36s

My thing back, you know, with that is it's just a respect.

Speaker 173386.42s - 3395.42s

You get me, I know you a blood. I'm a Crip, but, you know, that is it's just a respect you get me um I know you are blood I'm a Crip but you know um it wasn't like it but some instances it's like on site you are

Speaker 33395.42s - 3402.7s

blood I'm a Crip back then it was so what determines the instances I guess it got to be

Speaker 03402.7s - 3407.9s

if I was cool with a nigger not I used to dirt bike ride with blood thinkers.

Speaker 173408.2s - 3409.2s

You get me back in my...

Speaker 33409.2s - 3410.44s

So if you're playing ball, dirt bike ride,

Speaker 173410.58s - 3412.08s

something that has nothing to do with the streets

Speaker 33412.08s - 3413.06s

if you have some type of connection.

Speaker 173413.06s - 3415.88s

If I already had that connection with you then...

Speaker 33415.88s - 3431.52s

Got you. Like I said, a lot of us probably went to school together. And then once high school came and we moved the different days. So if you were chilling with him and your Crip niggas seen you would, you'd be like, yo, he's cool.How would you explain?

Speaker 173431.58s - 3439.98s

You know, you was, you can't. I can't do that when I got 15 Crip niggas on my mama for a porch. And my sister's got blood by,

Speaker 143439.98s - 3441.54s

Speaker 183445.8s - 3446.3s

Speaker 173446.38s - 3452.72s

And when he walk up, the niggas that don't know him is like, who the fuck is this? So the baby's going to be wearing red and blue.

Speaker 33452.88s - 3454.42s

What fuck is this nigga?

Speaker 153454.52s - 3454.74s

Right.

Speaker 33454.98s - 3456.64s

And, oh, that's Pat PERSON.

Speaker 53456.76s - 3457.8s

Leave my nigga alone.

Speaker 33457.86s - 3458.36s

He's all good.

Speaker 173458.38s - 3459.02s

That's crazy.

Speaker 53459.22s - 3461.56s

And you can control that. You could be like.

Speaker 173461.94s - 3465.5s

No, you, you, or you're going to deal with my fucking sister? Right,

Speaker 53465.86s - 3467.44s

right, right. And she ain't fin of how that shit.

Speaker 153467.82s - 3471.44s

She don't get what fucking few niggas is Crips, bloods, essays or whatever.

Speaker 03471.88s - 3481.02s

Leave my fucking nigger alone. And that's what's going to happen. So you got to, and the nigga cool. He don't come over like, okay,

Speaker 173481.06s - 3486.22s

we know he's blood, okay? He ain't coming over like blood and us and like, what up, ate blood.

Speaker 73486.34s - 3497.98s

I'm bad.

Speaker 63504.62s - 3506.52s

I'm a bad bad Missinformed

Speaker 53506.52s - 3507.32s

Now it's

Speaker 173507.32s - 3551.96s

It's differences Like If you don't know A nigga And it's Case by case is basicallyWhat you say It's case man The code is We beefing with this hood Right We beefing with this blood hoodOr that's That's Hatfield and McCoy PERSON Way back in the days That's what we did We beefing with this blood hood or that's that's Hatfield and McCoy way back in the days that's what we did we beefing with them but that's how I know this nigga like right I'm not gonna be like stick him up or killing it or sh nigga he was cool with me he's beefing with them he's coolhe a blood but you know it's now we might be out riding one day and decide to jump out on some niggas. It's just. It's like shit that happens in real war.

Speaker 143552.12s - 3553.86s

It's a guy.

Speaker 183553.86s - 3555.24s

Yeah. It is what it is.

Speaker 143555.3s - 3556.12s

Yeah, that's why it is.

Speaker 183556.24s - 3558.28s

I can't clarify, but like,

Speaker 173558.62s - 3567.92s

my OG niggers, they were cool with some blood niggas. It's like you get to a point to where I might have to cop from the blood, nigga, who got

Speaker 03567.92s - 3569.54s

to say that you got the heavy sack.

Speaker 153569.84s - 3578.32s

You get me? And if I'm serving, nigga, I'm not discriminating. You coming over here to get this motherfucking work, then here you go.

Speaker 53578.56s - 3579.82s

Like, shit.

Speaker 143580.14s - 3582.08s

Like, I'm trying to get money, man.

Speaker 53582.52s - 3597.48s

But you, you, right? Let me switch up the question a little bit. You not being a official gang banger, but rolling with gang members. Does that automatically make you guilty by association?

Speaker 73597.98s - 3601.56s

You know what it could depending on the situation, depending on what we got going together.

Speaker 53601.88s - 3607.24s

Now, if me and this man, then this is all prior to me becoming the podcast mogul I am back.

Speaker 143608.06s - 3610.38s

You know, so this is a long time ago. Right, right.

Speaker 73610.38s - 3616.8s

You know, prior to me doing my thing, if we don't put something together where we got 80 pounds going out of town through the mail.

Speaker 153617.84s - 3621.36s

Right.

Speaker 73621.36s - 3623.46s

And me and you got some business together. I don't give a fuck about that cripple, all that bloodshed. You know, you're going to money pay right now.

Speaker 153623.52s - 3623.68s

Right.

Speaker 73623.78s - 3627.8s

We want to make sure I, you know, we want to mitigate our losses and make sure we get to our money, right?

Speaker 133628.6s - 3630.02s

And it's all about respect.

Speaker 153630.16s - 3631s

Like I tell you,

Speaker 73631.1s - 3633.72s

I'm real cool with Big U, shout out of the homie draws.

Speaker 133634.02s - 3635.78s

I met him through the blood homie,

Speaker 53635.9s - 3636.7s

Tony Lane PERSON.

Speaker 133636.78s - 3638.62s

You met Big U ORG through a blood homie.

Speaker 53638.62s - 3640.56s

Through a blood homie, through Tony Langeau PERSON.

Speaker 73641.66s - 3642.58s

The manned sugar free,

Speaker 53642.68s - 3653.72s

was manager DJ Wick PERSON. You know, he manned down right now. Shout to the homie in prayers up for him. But I met him through him through some youth football stuffas I used to have a popping youth football chapter. You know, we're real big in the sports.

Speaker 143654.26s - 3658.92s

You know, one thing out on the West Coast LOC, we take care of our keys. We coach football, do all kind of little fly shit

Speaker 153658.92s - 3668.32s

for the, you know, little youth leagues and stuff like that. I had a youth league in Paramount FAC. Big U had the Crenshaw. He had the, what was the Crenshaw coach? The Rams? The Crenshaw Rams ORG, yep.

Speaker 173669.2s - 3671.64s

And he called me one day with the homie on the phone

Speaker 73671.64s - 3673.86s

talking shit, like, yeah, we'll fuck y'all up, do this,

Speaker 153673.86s - 3675.9s

this one with that. Or something went over there, spank on the

Speaker 173675.9s - 3679.4s

basketball shit. Yeah, on some football shit. Yeah. That shit

Speaker 153679.4s - 3681.28s

big, you know, just like it is, you know, that's with,

Speaker 03681.6s - 3684.38s

California got a lot of similarities with Miami

Speaker 153684.38s - 3685.4s

with South Florida when the

Speaker 173685.4s - 3685.66s

yeah like

Speaker 63685.66s - 3689.28s

let some football yeah we love football

Speaker 23689.28s - 3694.04s

yeah we love yeah allegedly allegedly allegedly

Speaker 53694.04s - 3697.48s

um

Speaker 23697.48s - 3700.2s

we ask you

Speaker 53700.2s - 3701.42s

both this question

Speaker 23701.42s - 3703.64s

do you think

Speaker 53703.64s - 3704.32s

Nipsey would still

Speaker 23704.32s - 3704.9s

be alive

Speaker 53704.9s - 3710.2s

if he didn't put that store in the hood? You want to answer that first?

Speaker 33710.36s - 3711.6s

Good question. Go ahead.

Speaker 73713.12s - 3714.12s

Motherfuckers are going to be mad

Speaker 33714.12s - 3716.1s

to me, but I keep real hell, motherfucking, yeah.

Speaker 73716.88s - 3718s

I think, you know,

Speaker 33718.22s - 3720.18s

I think it's one of those things, man,

Speaker 173720.18s - 3720.6s

where

Speaker 33720.6s - 3724.18s

you're dealing

Speaker 53724.18s - 3725.72s

with a lot of different dynamics

Speaker 73725.72s - 3726.72s

when it comes in the hood

Speaker 153726.72s - 3727.98s

nor are you from

Speaker 73727.98s - 3729.02s

the hood. We all come

Speaker 153729.02s - 3733.24s

from similar circumstances around his table, right? You just can't

Speaker 73733.24s - 3747.26s

change certain motherfuckuckus mindset, though. But then again, I believe in God homie,so when this guy's time, it might not matter what he was over there in the hood or down here on South Beachwalking around somewhere out of sex. You know, if it was his time, it was his time.

Speaker 03747.36s - 3770.14s

You know what I mean? I believe in God, too, though, bro. But I always wondered that me and the homies would debate that sometimes because I'm the type of dude. I don't believe. I think it's just too different. I can just come from a place where you can't help everybody, dog.They're going to still find a way to fuck up. You know, you get a homie $20,000, $30,000 to put in on this barbershop, and he's fucking around trying to move a package out of town or some shit. Some motherfuckers just ain't going to do right, dog.

Speaker 73770.8s - 3773.68s

So you just got to be conscious of that shit, you know what I mean?

Speaker 173774.34s - 3776.56s

Some motherfuckers are not going to do what they're supposed to do.

Speaker 153776.56s - 3777.18s

How about you?

Speaker 73777.44s - 3783.96s

Nip PERSON was a true representative of his neighborhood.

Speaker 173784.38s - 3793.56s

Right. He wanted to keep all of that in his neighborhood. Right. He wanted to keep all of that in his neighborhood. Of course he could have went to Beverly Hillsor, you know.

Speaker 183793.88s - 3794.48s

Learning to be an

Speaker 173794.48s - 3830.02s

living example. And all that to open the store. But I think he wanted to show niggas that I'm going to keep the bread here.Like, niggas talk about it, you know, give back to the block and, you know, buy your own and shit. He wanted to really, you know, he really wanted to show that. And that gained you a lot of motherfucking respect just in the streets alone. You feel me? Being able to give a,you're on your block.

Speaker 03830.4s - 3837.08s

You got a major store and you major this and that now and you still right here. Also getting niggas knocked down every day.

Speaker 173838.6s - 3873.1s

Not actually. I mean, really that came from some other shit. You get me? Because if you were able to be cool with motherfuckersand you were able to maintain a certain, then you don't have beef with niggas. You get me? And that's the problem with shit. You can't prevent another niggas jealousy, man. You get me?You can't. Like, I tell niggas every day, I'm cool with every motherfucking body. But there's somebody out there that don't like a nigga. Right. And not because I don't shot up a nigger mock or did some shit or whatever.

Speaker 03873.52s - 3874.42s

Who knows?

Speaker 153874.82s - 3886.48s

Maybe because we come from the same motherfucking place and you ain't as well off or you ain't to do it. But, nigga, shit, it's still a struggle every day. It's why I tell a motherfucker. But you can't prevent niggas jealousy.

Speaker 173886.48s - 3931.28s

And if you want to remain grounded to where you come from, which he, you know, everybody know, he represented the 60s to the fullest. And even though I'm on a different motherfucking plateau right now, I'm going to still show niggas that if it wasn't from where I came from then none of this would be possible. So if I can buy a building in thehood and then keep it on some positive shit, but niggas ain't going to be breaking into it or striking it up and everybody going protect it and look at it as the neighborhood store, I don't be rightthere. But like I said, you can't prevent niggas who are in the cut who, But like I said, you can't prevent niggas who in the cut who, because like you said, you can get caught, you can get caught anywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 73931.88s - 3941.94s

You can get caught anywhere, man. And I remember that shit happened. That shit was a sad shit, dog. Like, they called the homie's phone. He was over my house. And that shit was in real time on FaceTime, and I was wondering,

Speaker 153942.06s - 3943.84s

why this is a nigga FaceTime on us, man?

Speaker 73944.1s - 3945.38s

You got a pistol,

Speaker 153945.38s - 3949.3s

niggas, shoot the nigga, do something. Call the police, like, why are you for the fuck you calling us?

Speaker 73949.3s - 3950.52s

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 153950.52s - 3952.44s

It's like, shit is crazy, dog.

Speaker 183952.44s - 3956.52s

I don't see more motherfuckers get let off. You say they called you in real time when it was happening?

Speaker 73956.52s - 3957.92s

Yeah, on FaceTime PRODUCT, dog.

Speaker 183957.92s - 3962.76s

I swear to God, you got asked only glasses alone, man, he was sitting right there in my motherfucking diner room. That's wild.

Speaker 03962.76s - 3964.24s

Like, why are you calling me?

Speaker 73964.24s - 3971.36s

Like, and got a pistol. Like, why are you calling me? Like, like, and got a pistol. Like, I've never seen so many niggas with pistols,but don't shoot no motherfucking buddy. Wow.

Speaker 53971.48s - 4007.32s

I'll tell you one thing. I've been going to L.A. for years. And, you know, I'm cool with Daz and Corrup PERSON, and I would go to their shows and Snoop PERSON sometimes.And Nipsey, you know, I tell you this. When I went to his show, it was the first time I actually seen all of L.A. GPE culture come out. Like, every single people came out. Like, I kid you not, I'm talking about.I don't know if they was gang members, but it was Chinese NORP people. It was Latinos. I had, because in New York, it's very common to see Latinos and blacks together. In LA GPE, I didn't see that a lot.

Speaker 174007.8s - 4008.88s

You get that at shows.

Speaker 54009.32s - 4022.46s

It happened. Yeah, but I didn't see it at a lot. I see that at a show. I seen that at Nipsey show. That was the first time. I was like, holy shit.You know what I mean? So, like, I felt like, in essence, he was almost as powerful as Malcolm X.

Speaker 74022.88s - 4024.14s

Oh, Nipsey was a shit, though.

Speaker 54024.72s - 4027.1s

Like, that's how I felt like, that's how powerful he was. Go ahead. Right. Like I said, to a lot of people, he was almost as powerful as Malcolm X. Oh, Nipsey was the shit, though. Like, that's how I felt like that's how powerful he was.

Speaker 74027.18s - 4027.34s

Right.

Speaker 54027.84s - 4030.52s

To, like I said, to a lot of people, he was like,

Speaker 174030.58s - 4037.72s

he was the essence of what you're supposed to do and be when you,

Speaker 54038.38s - 4041.52s

from L.A. GPE and you claim a neighborhood or whatever.

Speaker 174042.02s - 4045.18s

To people, he was, he was just that, you get me.

Speaker 04045.88s - 4048.02s

You know, we had that

Speaker 74048.02s - 4049.68s

element like when Easy

Speaker 04049.68s - 4050.88s

first started rapping.

Speaker 144051.42s - 4060.8s

Easy PERSON, you know, Compton GPE was vicious. But Easy PERSON had it to where niggas felt good about being from Compton GPE. You get me?

Speaker 04061.04s - 4061.54s

We had a truth.

Speaker 184061.54s - 4071.42s

I could see those similarities. When Easy PERSON came out, nigga, I don't give fuck who you was. Blood PERSON, Crip PERSON,Mexican NORP, nigga, you loved boys.

Speaker 124071.42s - 4078.4s

He included everybody too. Like, you loved boys in the hood record when you first heard him because it was like,oh shit.

Speaker 174079.2s - 4082.08s

But this nigga represent us right now.

Speaker 104082.2s - 4082.78s

You get me?

Speaker 144082.84s - 4083.42s

I always jump.

Speaker 154084.18s - 4087.9s

Speaker 34163.6s - 4165.18s

Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker 174168.88s - 4169.22s

It changed our, it changed the culture of our music.

Speaker 34169.44s - 4169.54s

Right.

Speaker 174176.5s - 4176.68s

And it allowed a lot of us who basically didn't know what the fuck we was fend to be doing.

Speaker 34179.98s - 4180.34s

We fend to be gangbanging, going to prison and cemeteries, man.

Speaker 174184.32s - 4184.52s

Because, like I said, as a youngster, I didn't see shit else.

Speaker 04184.76s - 4184.9s

Right.

Speaker 144185.44s - 4185.7s

You get me? You go from, nigga, I'm watchingster, I didn't see shit else. Right, you get me?

Next thing you know, you like out here like, nigga, what the fuck? I'm for me serving, carrying a pistol, and niggas hit the block with the lights on, niggas, time to start shooting. You don't see nothing else after that. You get me? Right. You see homies dying. You see a couple of homies coming up off the dope game.But for the most part, we're on the block every day.

Speaker 34213.12s - 4217.12s

Did you ever make any music with on rent or any of them at any point?

Speaker 174218.04s - 4221.36s

I started, right when Easy PERSON got sick,

Speaker 34221.48s - 4223.66s

I had started writing some songs for him.

Speaker 174224.12s - 4224.6s

For Easy PERSON?

Speaker 164224.9s - 4226.32s

Yeah. Oh, damn. Yeah.

Speaker 54226.32s - 4235.66s

I can hear your lyrics come out easy. I can hit you. My bad, I'll cut you up. I can hear your lyrics coming out. I've never heard this. I think I wrote like two songs for Easy PERSON.

Speaker 164236s - 4241.12s

Nothing came out? No, because he got sick. Oh, man, I would look to hear. Oh, he never recorded him at all.

Speaker 174241.12s - 4245.06s

No. I know the dude I was fucking with back then.

Speaker 164247.42s - 4247.86s

He had a close relationship with them.

Speaker 54250.2s - 4250.32s

So he came to me one day and said,

Speaker 174252.44s - 4252.64s

Easy PERSON might want you to write him a couple of songs.

Speaker 54253.84s - 4254s

And you were already putting out records.

Speaker 184254.18s - 4254.28s

Yes.

Speaker 174255.48s - 4262.74s

Compton Moswana ORG was already out. Yes. So I wrote two songs, and they wanted me to lay the lyrics to him. And I never did it because he got sick. Yes.

Speaker 74263.1s - 4282.52s

They had some shit, dog, because I heard his song because you know Bob Captain PERSON. He was doing the shit after Dre PERSON left, my guy brother started doing a lot of the staff production over there and Bob played me a record with Ren, Easy PERSON, motherfucking Dr. Dre and Q PERSON?Like the NWA shit, that shit, steal of this day. I ask him all the time, man. Play that shit for me, though.

Speaker 54282.98s - 4290.62s

He said, hell, motherfucker, no. The hardest shit I ever heard, though, dog, that shit for me though he said hell motherfucking no the hardest shit I ever heard though dog that was hard Unreleased randomly like after the beef

Speaker 184290.62s - 4295.06s

Like a reunion record? Like a reunion record? Like a reunion record?

Speaker 124295.06s - 4300.88s

And all of them sounded and the beat was so motherfucking crazy dog it was just like the silent

Speaker 34300.88s - 4303.12s

It was crazy a lot he was dope

Speaker 174303.12s - 4304.86s

Yeah, Rand PERSON was the shit old

Speaker 164304.86s - 4306.82s

Early NWA days man please Wren was like the silent partner a lot. He was dope. Dude. Your RIN was the shit. Oh, Ren PERSON was amazing. That's all he can't say like, well.

Speaker 184309.12s - 4309.34s

In early NWA days, man, please.

Speaker 74311.08s - 4311.5s

Renn PERSON was, man, come on, man.

Speaker 184313.5s - 4315.5s

She swallowed it and all that motherfucket. His EP when he, but solo EP is crazy.

Speaker 174316.38s - 4326.36s

Uh, Ren PERSON is, uh, he's more, um, the silent partner. He's very quiet. Um. And he was real loyal to the situation.

Speaker 184326.82s - 4328.1s

I talked to Wren PERSON.

Speaker 34329.06s - 4333.08s

You really was around, like, what I found out about you, I did my homework.

Speaker 174333.62s - 4347.76s

And like your knowledge of hip hop is, you got a great knowledge of hip hop, right? I watched a couple of interviews. But it's like, you know, growing up, you know, like in Compton GPE, like that's where arguably gangster hip hop, you know what I'm saying, like it was made.

Speaker 34348.3s - 4353.96s

When you came with your sound, it was like the piano, strings, the high pitch,

Speaker 164353.96s - 4356.84s

it was different from most of the other gang banging.

Speaker 174357.02s - 4363.18s

Like, you really introduced that sound. Everybody was doing a lot of BPMs was up in the high notes.

Speaker 154363.4s - 4364.36s

Yeah, it was fast.

Speaker 34364.52s - 4364.64s

Yeah.

Speaker 154365.08s - 4366.32s

You slowed it all the way down.

Speaker 34366.32s - 4371.1s

I, when I started rapping, you know, I like movies.

Speaker 154373.22s - 4375.9s

I would always like, when the movie get to that part,

Speaker 34376.1s - 4379.64s

know somebody from to die or a scary nigga for to jump up to it.

Speaker 174381.56s - 4384.46s

So I always wanted mob music to fit that.

Speaker 164384.56s - 4386.26s

That makes sense because it's exactly what is.

Speaker 54386.26s - 4389.74s

I wanted my music to tell the soundtrack or the story that was going on.

Speaker 164390.08s - 4396.28s

So I never got into the fast-paced shit because I wanted niggas to hear me.

Speaker 144396.82s - 4400.34s

Like, I'm sitting down and listen to what I'm going to tell you.

Speaker 34400.34s - 4401.04s

Who was that producer?

Speaker 174401.28s - 4402.02s

Who was that?

Speaker 34402.1s - 4403.78s

DJ Slip ORG produced a lot of my shit.

Speaker 164405.9s - 4407.9s

I wanted my shit to be the soundtrack

Speaker 174407.9s - 4409.7s

to the streets of shit.

Speaker 04410.3s - 4410.9s

You get me?

Speaker 174411.46s - 4418.08s

Nigger PERSON's struggling. Motherfucking, they just drove by Miss Daisy FAC. Motherfucking, the hood took me under.

Speaker 144418.26s - 4419.44s

Nigger PERSON's still struggling.

Speaker 174419.84s - 4421.76s

I wanted niggas to know, like,

Speaker 144421.76s - 4424.1s

nigga, it's real, like,

Speaker 174427.86s - 4428.2s

it's real fucked up where I'm from.

Speaker 04434.98s - 4443s

Like, and I'm getting a chance to tell motherfuckers, nigger, last night, so-and-so got shot with decay, and then the homies went and did this and blah, blah, blah. Then the ones came through, nigger, and they took all of us to jail, and now we're sitting up.

Speaker 144443.94s - 4451.48s

Nigger PERSON, y'all need to hear this shit. Because you cannot tell me that somebody over there ain of us to jail and now we're sitting up and nigger y'all need to hear this shit because you cannot tell me that somebody over there and went to jail tonight for something

Speaker 44451.48s - 4454.44s

or just getting caught up

Speaker 184454.44s - 4457.44s

so I wanted my shit to be sinister

Speaker 164457.44s - 4460.08s

and when you sat back and listened to my shit

Speaker 184460.08s - 4463.28s

you can envision it hell motherfucker yeah it wasn't the same

Speaker 174463.28s - 4466.66s

LA GPE I'm sitting going to drive by on a nigga right now.

Speaker 184466.78s - 4471.92s

So how crazy was it for you when finally it was a soundtrack record on Boys in the Hood WORK_OF_ART?

Speaker 174472.42s - 4475.46s

Oh, man, that was, um...

Speaker 184475.46s - 4478.72s

Because that fit. It's exactly what you're describing you wanted to create.

Speaker 174478.8s - 4490.2s

I used to hang out, shout out my dude JD from the Lynch Bob PRODUCT. Me and him was real good friends. And this was at the time where they was filming boys. Is JD PERSON one that's locked up now? No, JD PERSON's out.

Speaker 164490.2s - 4496.64s

He's out. He's out. Shout out my nigga JD PERSON. So we used to go up to the set.

Speaker 174497.18s - 4500.62s

You know, they was with Q PERSON, whatever, whatever. I didn't even throw John Singleton PERSON.

Speaker 54501.3s - 4502.7s

And you had already filmed in this?

Speaker 174502.9s - 4506.9s

No, no. This was before. I was saying he had a hand in both these classic movies.

Speaker 184507s - 4507.6s

That's crazy.

Speaker 54508.4s - 4514.58s

This was when I had what was I did? I just dropped one time Gaffled him up.

Speaker 174515.18s - 4535.34s

And so the video was out, whatever, blah, blah. So I go up to the set with JD and John Singleton come out the trailer. And me and J.D JD PERSON just standing there smoking.He walked right up to me. He said that video was hard as fuck. What video he took about? He talked about one-time gaffled him up. That was my first video.

Speaker 154536.06s - 4543.14s

And I'm looking like, who is this motherfucker? And he was like, oh, this is my movie, and I'm shooting boys in the hood.

Speaker 174543.2s - 4567.62s

And I was like, yeah, you're like, I'm still a young niggerhood. I'm like, yeah, whatever, you know. I'm going to get you in my soundtrack. I was like, man, please. This nigger ain't fucking with me. No, he was like, no, no, man, I'm telling you.And like two weeks later, they called. And so I got to see the movie. And then I was going to the set every day. So I got to see it. The movie, Boys in the Hood? Yeah, I got to see the movie. And then I was going to the set every day. So I got to see the movie Boys in the Hood WORK_OF_ART?

Speaker 184567.76s - 4568.02s

Yeah.

Speaker 04568.18s - 4570.18s

I got to see it while they was making it.

Speaker 174570.56s - 4574.04s

So I was like, oh, this shit's going to be easy as fuck.

Speaker 04574.22s - 4587.38s

Nakeet PERSON growing up in the hood. Niggott, it's the year. I didn't know what the fuck was from the happening. Moms was treating me like I wasn't shitting. And then my younger brother was getting all of love because I was at home

Speaker 174587.38s - 4590.62s

in the hood with a single mom

Speaker 144590.62s - 4592.22s

with a younger brother

Speaker 174592.22s - 4594.46s

and I was the middle kid

Speaker 154594.46s - 4597.3s

so I'm like, nigga this is me right here

Speaker 144597.3s - 4601.02s

so it was easy to pin that type of shit.

Speaker 34601.02s - 4602.68s

You seen the movie before everybody else

Speaker 144602.68s - 4603.76s

did he was on the set too?

Speaker 34603.76s - 4610.4s

Yeah, I was on the set too. They threw me in a little... Did you know it was gonna be as big as it was? Did you know it was going to be as big as it was when you've seen it?

Speaker 174610.6s - 4621.38s

I thought it was because those movies started jumping off. You get me? Tupac did juice. They did South Central

Speaker 184621.38s - 4632.48s

with Green and Plumber ORG. Then we had colors. So I'm like, oh, this shit was going to take off. I'm like, oh, this shit was Ray Ray. I'm like, this shit was going to take off. Did it feel like it was more authentic or you felt likeone of those movies, like all of them were the same?

Speaker 174632.8s - 4639.86s

It was different, but it still showed neighborhood incidents. I think that's why Boys in the Hood WORK_OF_ART did so

Speaker 184639.86s - 4641.82s

good. Because it felt more real than the other movies.

Speaker 174642.1s - 4652.96s

Yeah, it was, you know, with Trey PERSON and the college and all that shit. That was something different, you know, as you've seen in Menace WORK_OF_ART. Right. You know, it was totally different.

Speaker 144653.92s - 4658.68s

Minnis PERSON, they was just trying to show niggas in the hood and how a nigger trying to escape.

Speaker 34659.02s - 4659.78s

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 04660.44s - 4663.26s

When you got the script, A, wax, when you got the script.

Speaker 174663.46s - 4663.86s

Wax.

Speaker 34664.26s - 4664.48s

Speaker 34665.3s - 4667.14s

Did you

Speaker 174667.14s - 4667.94s

Okay you know

Speaker 34667.94s - 4679.04s

Because The script was like Your life So you could really Right You could relate to what's in thereSo when you're on The movie said I'm sure that There's a lot of Improvision going on And like you improvise

Speaker 174679.04s - 4691.94s

Right They let me do a lot of ad lips So what scene Do you think you Improvised That was off scriptAnd that made the scene better? What part of the movie that was like because of you? That's my favorite movie.

Speaker 34692.24s - 4692.76s

That's a great movie.

Speaker 174693.42s - 4695.82s

Those two movies to me are such a classic.

Speaker 184696.36s - 4701.8s

I got the ad-lib, the killing part. That was like a lot of me ad-lib.

Speaker 164702.34s - 4705s

Speaker 184714.7s - 4715.7s

Okay.

Speaker 164715.7s - 4720.9s
