00:00:06.080

0.83
00:00:12.080
from there so i go over there to record with him and shit you know you working on album yes sir
0.83
00:00:17.120
i just finished it today that was you finished the album i wrapped it up yeah i did all the
0.88
00:00:21.200
the final cut the final like you know mixes and everything today how many tracks uh it's eight
00:00:26.880
eight tracks on it okay yeah nice and compact i don't like those 30 track albums the 40 track
00:00:31.720
it's too much yeah too much yeah well why do they do that for streaming for streaming numbers what
0.77
00:00:35.620
the what a lot of tracks yeah well that's old school shit you know like back in the days like
0.98
00:00:40.220
albums have like 20 30 tracks on it with like five interludes yeah with like fucking skits and
0.96
00:00:46.000
skits you know skits on an eight track album maybe one no skits no voicemails no no voicemails
00:01:05.860
I took down all my music because I felt like, you know,
00:01:18.300
Because I'm not getting the millions of streams and 10 million streams.
00:01:50.780
Yeah, because at first, like, I went in there, like, I went into doing music and content, not making money, but getting exposure.
00:02:00.400
Like, yo, I'll do everything, like, whatever, for free, everything, like, it doesn't matter.
00:02:04.620
And then, um, shout out to the, uh, the poppy over there with the, he just brought the bodega over here, bro.
0.95
00:02:12.920
I felt like we were, but, um, but fucking, yeah, so I just, so now I took it.
00:02:18.460
So now, instead of chasing, like, notoriety and clout and shit like that, you know, now just whatever I have, like, the bass that I have, I need to make money.
0.96
00:02:29.280
Because, like, you know, you spend so much money on music.
00:02:31.240
People look at, like, rappers, like, you know, it costs a lot of money to do what we do.
00:02:38.140
Mixing, like, the studio time is a lot of money.
00:02:39.940
Yeah, the rappers are the last people to get paid, and sometimes we don't get paid at all.
00:02:43.360
So if I don't charge for my music and stuff like that, chances are I won't get paid.
00:02:47.640
i'll be still in the red independent right facts so that's how that's how i started like just
00:02:52.780
switching my my um my model to you know getting exposure to getting money you know what i'm saying
00:02:59.040
you get a lot of views on youtube though your videos do a lot better than your your streaming
00:03:03.120
right numbers they do yeah why is that you think every interview i see when all the all the vlad
00:03:08.360
police interviews they get like three four million views but yeah i mean because they just like i
0.98
00:03:14.400
don't know they like they like they like they like the bullshit man they like the you know
0.98
00:03:20.060
the clickbait the controversy the clickbait they like that they want to hear about the scars on
1.00
00:03:24.020
your face and shit like that they want to hear the million jail stories that i told over and over
0.97
00:03:28.340
and why you did so many of those vlad interviews like what do you think about everyone calling
0.99
00:03:32.180
them a police like every time i watched those i remember seeing those a couple years ago like it
00:03:35.500
felt like an interrogation the way he asked questions the way you sit in there like with
00:03:39.400
one camera you never felt like you never got that that vibe from that i mean definitely you know i
00:03:45.600
mean he i don't i don't take it like he's an investigative journalist you know i'm saying
00:03:50.440
and he's really like he hones in on the investigative shit so i don't per se think he's a
0.64
00:03:54.840
police he's not police he's definitely not policing he's definitely i don't know i don't
0.96
00:03:59.180
think he works with the police however he does have police like swag you know i'm saying he got
0.93
00:04:05.800
like police type tendencies and shit like you know investigative shit you know so but at the
0.87
00:04:11.380
end of the day that's what people like you feel me like he wouldn't have a he wouldn't have a
0.98
00:04:16.480
platform if people didn't like that type of shit so people do like it and there is there is value
0.98
00:04:21.220
in it because people watch it and you know for whatever reason people think that whatever the
0.99
00:04:26.660
videos the questions that he do are interesting so you know he keeps on inviting me up you know
00:04:32.860
i mean and i i you know for now i'm going up there you know but for now you don't want to do any more
00:04:38.100
of those jail stories and keep talking about the past what happened 20 years ago right i mean i i
00:04:45.760
i try not to you know he he just keeps on throwing it in there after i tell him like you know let's
0.93
00:04:50.540
i don't want to talk about this let's just you know do whatever shit but he just keeps on doing
0.98
00:04:54.480
it you know but whatever whatever you know i i the people on his on his platform like this shit so
0.96
00:05:01.720
whatever but can you give a brief summary of like of your story like i see you were in um the ghost
0.96
00:05:07.260
shadows gang right um that was a chinatown chinese mafia back in the 90s and then uh you did 10 years
0.53
00:05:14.360
on rikers right no it's 10 you can't do 10 years on rikers yeah rikers is a county jail yeah county
00:05:20.640
jail so i did 10 years in the state and um yeah i was in a gang called ghost shadows and that was
00:05:26.400
back in the days when chinatown was really gang populated you know it was a lot of it had a lot
00:05:32.360
of gang culture in it and um that's when i was that's the chinatown that i was born into
00:05:37.460
and the time that i was born like you know when i grew up in chinatown every block was gang
00:05:43.180
territory you know i mean and um it was it was a little it was a lot different over there now
00:05:48.140
than now new york has shifted a lot has changed a lot since then chinatown's trying to hit even
0.96
00:05:52.680
this park i don't think you know we probably wouldn't be able to do this shit right now like
0.80
00:05:57.520
without being disturbed somewhat like in it in it like 10 20 years ago you know what would have
0.96
00:06:02.360
happened someone would have came up and said like i feel like there would have been a lot more dope
00:06:05.880
fiends out here i feel like you would have a lot of people nodding off over here like i don't know
00:06:10.140
i feel like it would have been a lot dirtier i feel like we wouldn't even want to sit down on
0.96
00:06:13.800
this shit yeah right is there a part of you that uh misses the griminess or do you like the change
0.98
00:06:18.240
you like to say for New York City um I mean it's a gift and a curse to me you feel me uh because
0.99
00:06:26.380
you know um there's still crime going on it's just they push it to different places you know
00:06:31.860
so it's I mean they they they they clean this up but then it's still like they pushing them
00:06:37.460
somewhere so you know a lot of people from here move to the Bronx or some shit like that that's
0.76
00:06:42.040
is still fucked up you know i mean but i feel like uh i feel like i do like new york being
0.93
00:06:49.740
cleaned up i do like it but then a part of me is like you know i know new york for being grimy
0.94
00:06:55.200
for for having certain type of you know you know a certain type of aesthetic you know i'm saying
00:07:00.620
like a more do you miss it i do really i mean but then i don't miss it you ever miss something you
00:07:06.760
ever had like a girl that you kind of miss certain things you're nostalgic for it but like you might
00:07:11.260
miss her cooking or you might miss her something you know i mean but then you don't not her attitude
00:07:15.120
yeah right so it's kind of like that there's there's good there's cons and pros to it but i do
00:07:20.320
i think that what was different is like you know um in new york is just you know um new york now
00:07:28.440
from how new york was back in the day is just people just don't have the same respect you know
00:07:36.800
i'm saying like back in the days like that you know people stayed in there you know stayed in
00:07:42.560
their position you know they didn't really like around a little bit like people stayed people
00:07:48.660
didn't do too much back in the days because it was like a lot more you know violence and crazy
00:07:53.880
shit happening you know when i was coming up so people kind of stayed in their lane a little bit
00:07:58.200
more you know i'm saying now it's like i feel like young people just super disrespectful people
0.82
00:08:02.820
would say anything and do anything and and i don't think it's the same type of you know and
00:08:08.180
also also like there was like a little more like morals principles back in the days when new york
00:08:13.560
like you know people follow certain codes and people did certain things and had more respect
0.90
00:08:18.320
for the elders even when they was gang banging all that dumb shit you know just certain things
0.99
00:08:23.080
you know now i just feel like they don't give a fuck you know i mean there's no respect like
1.00
00:08:26.540
they don't give a fuck they'll shoot they don't get like you know just people don't give a fuck
0.99
00:08:30.640
no more about nobody else there was a shooting here two nights ago actually right here yeah
0.99
00:08:34.060
right right in the corner of this park wow were there more fistfights back then people just like
00:08:39.880
tend to shoot instead of fight it out i feel like there was definitely more fistfights back in the
00:08:44.980
days but people still get shot out back in the days people got stabbed a lot you know i feel
0.98
00:08:49.700
like now people don't fight this much people just go straight to the uh the guns and shit why
1.00
00:08:54.060
um because a lot of these motherfuckers don't know how to fight
1.00
00:09:00.160
Like, if you don't know how to fight, you know, you get your ass whipped,
0.99
00:09:04.880
So I think, you know, if there wasn't no guns, I seen a meme earlier,
0.99
00:09:08.320
if there wasn't no guns, a lot of motherfuckers would be walking around with...
1.00
00:09:12.700
With big-ass fucking black eyes and shit all over their face, you know?
1.00
00:09:21.260
What about the difference in the treatment of Asians?
1.00
00:09:26.360
Like, back when there was the Chinese Mafia,
0.79
00:09:27.880
i can imagine people would be more afraid and people would have more respect for for asian
00:09:31.360
culture but i mean you see the difference of chinatown for example the businesses are going
00:09:35.180
out like people are getting attacked there um do you do you see a difference there's super there's
00:09:41.200
definitely a difference man it's just you know but at the same time i don't think the chinese
00:09:45.780
like the asian people really ever fully got their respect we always been looked at looked at like
00:09:51.680
you know like weaker you know what i'm saying yeah uh we always been looked at like you know
00:09:58.200
docile like you know just what like you could take advantage of us you know whose fault is that
00:10:03.020
aren't most asians docile and non-competitional it is i mean yeah it's our fault you know
1.00
00:10:08.640
it's our fault for allowing that to to to happen it's our you know but i don't think it's not a
00:10:15.680
fault you know i mean because that's how we were raised you know that's how our if it's anybody's
00:10:22.280
fault it's you know the culture the people that came before us you know i'm saying but that that
00:10:27.420
was like how that's how our people are you know i'm saying like you know and um our our mothers
00:10:33.340
our grandmothers our great-grandmothers always was taught for us to like you know kind of just
00:10:37.980
keep a more profile right uh don't be we were taught not to be aggressive you know i mean we
00:10:43.760
looked our people look down on stuff like that yeah i mean our people look down on being loud
00:10:48.200
and you know i'm saying like you know uh so when you kind of like you know that's our culture and
0.93
00:10:55.460
then we you know so we accept shit we we accept it but now we're talking about people who came
0.91
00:11:00.320
from china and like you know assimilated into the country but now us you know it's it's a different
0.98
00:11:05.920
world for us now you know i mean just because our it worked for our parents and their parents
00:11:11.340
and the people some things like you know we can't keep on continuing you know we gotta adapt we we
00:11:16.620
have to adapt yeah that's why i really look up to you like i see videos of you like someone will be
00:11:20.700
in the car yelling out like uh go back to your country and you'll get out and just run down on
00:11:24.860
the person like what country what's up yeah and like no one expects any asian to do that and it
1.00
00:11:28.940
just i really really admire that right i wish i would see more of that i feel like we need to see
00:11:34.540
more of that man i i and you know it's just i hope that you know the little that because honestly
00:11:39.980
like you know um like with that video you were talking about with that i i really i didn't i
00:11:46.080
really like i didn't necessarily want to record it to like you know to like just show everybody
00:11:54.040
like oh look i could be a badass that's not that's definitely not what i wanted to do you know what
00:11:58.160
i'm saying what i wanted to do was to show people like hey you know this is what we're supposed to
00:12:02.800
be doing you know i'm saying and i feel like a lot of asian people just don't like our people
00:12:07.920
don't teach us that like you know our fathers are not teaching that or like you know what i mean
00:12:11.680
like we're not teaching we're not taught to like you know to to speak up and especially not even
00:12:17.460
just speak up for ourselves but speak up for others for others like you know i'm saying like
00:12:21.420
black people if you say if a black people see another black person getting jumped they'll
0.89
00:12:24.380
start fighting right especially if it's from you know say say me and you or like you know two white
0.99
00:12:30.220
guys or two asian guys go and have a fight with with with a black or older black dude get out of
00:12:35.740
here they're not gonna you know i mean the people's gonna jump in and there's nothing wrong with that
0.90
00:12:40.100
you know i'm saying is that i think that's right that's what for your people you gotta stick up for
00:12:43.660
your people you feel me and especially people of our communities and and shit like that you know
0.88
00:12:48.100
i think that's important we have to put take into consideration that you're a rare case there's not
0.82
00:12:52.560
a lot of asians with that type of past that you have with the type of like you grew up with gang
1.00
00:12:58.320
banging so you're that's it's you're built like that right how do we teach you know guys like like
00:13:03.660
us how do we start adapting and how do we change our mentality without you know that aggressive
00:13:10.320
past i think the first step is to just like you know be confident right so like in order for you
00:13:17.320
to be confident you have to physically be comfortable with yourself you know i mean and
00:13:21.460
then you also have to be a comfortable with your abilities right like you know so i think once you
00:13:27.160
have that right you have the confidence and you have uh confidence in your ability right then i
00:13:35.140
feel like you know you can start asserting yourself a certain way not not like i'm not
1.00
00:13:41.020
telling anybody to fucking be batman or fucking like be a superhero or fucking be an asshole or
0.99
00:13:46.900
anything but if if i don't feel comfortable with my like you know how if i can't fight you know
1.00
00:13:54.860
i'm saying if somebody bigger than me is like you know doing something to somebody i'm not gonna
0.94
00:14:00.180
want to go over there because i'm using a fuck around and fuck me up you know i'm saying but if
0.99
00:14:04.440
i'm bigger my if i'm bigger myself and i know how to handle myself and i see somebody picking on an
1.00
00:14:09.600
80 year old woman you know i'm saying smacking her bags or like fucking like ticking her bag and
1.00
00:14:14.660
throwing that shit like joking or kicking have you seen that happen i mean face to face i haven't
1.00
00:14:18.980
seen i haven't seen that shit happen i'm looking for that i've really been like hoping i see
0.99
00:14:22.840
something like that right what would you do i would step in i would immediately step in right
0.64
00:14:28.880
yeah that makes me so angry like all the hate crimes have been i mean during covid it multiplied
00:14:34.500
by 10 right and i've heard all these stories in the news about that but i would i would 100% step
00:14:39.440
in if i saw that like i saw a video of this asian woman getting febrezed on the train you probably
0.93
00:14:43.540
saw that that was the beginning of covid they started spraying or i wish i wish i saw that i
00:14:47.520
wish i was there for that but yeah i think we're in like you know um people like you people like
00:14:53.780
me like this is our time to like you know to change it you know i'm saying it's important
00:14:59.520
you know like uh it's important for us to use our platforms and that's why i'm so mad at like
0.99
00:15:04.820
other asian people that have platforms and shit you know they so scared man they be tucking their
1.00
00:15:09.840
fucking dick between their legs and shit like they so scared to like you know to to to to
1.00
00:15:15.240
to fucking like jeopardize whatever you know whatever they got you know i mean they don't
1.00
00:15:21.080
want people to look at them a certain way they don't want but you know i feel like you know
0.97
00:15:25.460
sometimes sometimes some things some fights are worth it you know i'm saying and then i when i
0.88
00:15:31.440
first started the the rallies and shit that they can't burn us all rally when i seen the 89 year
0.86
00:15:35.780
old woman get you know um i went to the streets i did it and i reached out to all of the you know
0.93
00:15:41.020
celebrities name an asian celebrity i reached out to them you know i'm saying and i sent them how
00:15:46.040
many of them were afraid to do anything about all of them probably like nobody reposted me they
0.97
00:15:50.580
didn't even want to repost this shit that's why we would never have a black lives matter type
0.98
00:15:53.680
movement it's just a fear of like intruding too much i think it's because like some of my friends
0.98
00:15:57.540
explain it like this like asians in america even if they're first generation even they're born here
00:16:01.680
there's a sense that we don't belong here that this is not our country that this is just we're
00:16:05.960
here to like make money and become doctors and succeed but like we don't want to speak up too
00:16:10.940
much because we don't want to we don't have like long-term ideas of staying here right but where
0.94
00:16:16.680
the fuck are you where's your family from my mom's filipino my dad's from haiti okay so i'm i'm fully
0.99
00:16:22.620
chinese like could you right now just like move to fucking filipino philippines uh i don't speak
0.99
00:16:28.420
any tagalog yeah but what i'm saying is we're american you know i'm saying so we can't just go
0.99
00:16:33.620
i know i know i know that but go back to fucking can you agree with that idea that a lot of asians
0.92
00:16:37.820
believe that like oh this is not really our place like this is why we don't speak up because like
0.98
00:16:42.320
how you get sprayed on the train and you just sit there keep reading your newspaper
00:16:45.420
what's going through your head they're scared bro you know i'm saying they're scared i feel like
00:16:53.240
a lot of asian people are just like you know they're scared and it sucks to see that that
1.00
00:17:00.900
our people are like you know just fucking like just getting bullied and and and doing nothing
0.96
00:17:09.400
about i mean i guess it's easy for us to say to adapt because i mean we're in a different line
0.97
00:17:13.460
of work than most asian most asians just want to like become successful doctors or engineers they
0.99
00:17:18.780
want to but you're not you're a rapper it's a very different lifestyle like you're able to sacrifice
00:17:23.380
and and risk getting in a fight whereas most just like i don't want to lose my career right
00:17:28.700
that's the difference between this minority and other minorities is that we all just want to be
1.00
00:17:34.920
successful doctors and yeah but but i feel like you know we're going to different times now you
0.83
00:17:40.520
know i mean shit is changing you know if if you if we can't see that our world is changing like
0.98
00:17:45.660
you know then we're blind because look at what happened last year we've never seen no shit like
0.99
00:17:49.980
that like the fucking the whole world just stopped for like you know a good amount of time and you
0.99
00:17:54.500
seen like the madness that was happening throughout that right like shit just got crazy
0.97
00:17:58.400
and we got a glimpse of it so i feel like you know as as this country changes and as the world
00:18:04.440
changes we're gonna see a lot of changes and i feel like you know how we are conducting ourselves
00:18:09.720
or how we have conducted ourselves and how we have responded to issues um can't like you know
0.98
00:18:17.140
that shit is gonna that that shit is we can't do shit like that we can't handle it like that no
0.99
00:18:21.620
more because people just going to keep on wanting to come fuck with us but it's easy to say that
1.00
00:18:25.260
because like you were the only you were one of six asians and rikers right right i heard a story
0.98
00:18:29.960
about that you have a very different past than every other age so ideally yeah like we that's
00:18:36.380
the right idea to have that we should change but do you really think that we could i don't know bro
0.75
00:18:42.660
i don't know that shit is like foreign to a lot of people but i honestly i feel like what we need
0.98
00:18:47.860
to do is we need to fucking just you know i'm saying i'm working on doing this shit like i'm
0.98
00:18:53.100
starting i'm working on trying to just shift the culture you know i'm saying that we should be you
0.99
00:18:58.160
know we should be like physically uh ready for shit you know i'm saying we should be teaching
0.78
00:19:04.820
each other like our communities our parks we started martial arts yeah and how come that's
0.98
00:19:09.700
what i'm saying why what the fuck are we you know there was a time when i was growing up people were
0.98
00:19:13.240
scared to fuck with asian people because they thought that we knew you know i'm saying like
0.98
00:19:17.780
you know a lot of people was like oh nah you know i mean so there's a lot of times i was able to
0.99
00:19:21.540
just get by with the and then they'll back up you know i'm saying i remember let me tell you a story
00:19:26.200
right i was on i was in uh i was in uh rikens island in um c74 i was probably like i don't
00:19:32.360
know i was like 16 16 or some shit like that so they this is my first time on rikens island i
0.67
00:19:38.280
it wasn't the first time i got arrested but or or like i was in a juvenile jail but that was the
00:19:42.880
first time i was on rikers island they moved me from intake house to my like the main house and i
00:19:48.540
had like eight people that were arrested with me but they all got bailed out and i was the last
00:19:53.340
person to go into to stay there so they moved me outside of orientation like the first spot where
00:19:59.380
you go so you stay there for like a week and then they move you to your your house right so then i
0.98
00:20:03.540
go to this spot and this is like the yo i swear to god walk in that shit and it's like sparta like
0.97
00:20:09.840
oh everybody's like yelling and it was like just crazy i'm just like all right you know i mean like
0.91
00:20:14.880
i gotta make an example like immediately and people were just looking at me staring at me
00:20:18.860
people yelling shit you know i mean so when i went in there when i go in when i go in i went to i went
0.87
00:20:24.660
to the bathroom then i went to the phone and i'm trying to get on the phone and then um the dude
0.99
00:20:30.960
the dude he left the phone hanging so i was just like yo what's up with this phone so they was like
00:21:05.080
so when he did that i just turned around like he made that noise yeah i made the noise and i was
0.98
00:21:11.640
like i put my hands up like this and they was like oh there was like five like there was like
00:21:17.480
mad people there there was like five people there but there was a bunch of people on the side
00:21:21.220
and they was like oh and i saw like he was scared like they were scared because of the
00:21:26.200
yeah because of the huh i wish that still worked as soon as i did the huh so now but they're like
00:21:39.360
And when I swung, they was like, this motherfucker don't know no fucking karate.
1.00
00:21:43.140
And they jumped my ass and they got me out of there.
1.00
00:21:47.720
What's the biggest lesson you learned in your time?
00:21:51.240
um biggest lesson is that um for me personally is that uh i can't be scared of success you know
00:22:03.940
i'm saying like a lot of times like when i was a kid people instilled like embedded in my brain
00:22:10.080
that you know i just wasn't good enough you know i mean like you know i wasn't better than my
0.75
00:22:14.740
cousins i wasn't smart enough i wasn't this i wasn't that so it that shit really like kind of
0.97
00:22:22.060
like uh i kind of believe that shit you know and i was thinking about like you know i was thinking
0.98
00:22:28.240
about why i was getting in so much trouble and a lot of times it was just because i didn't believe
0.94
00:22:33.800
that i really deserved anything else you feel me so i just kept on putting myself like
00:22:38.880
subconsciously i just kept on fucking up because so sabotaging yeah right so and i was doing that
0.96
00:22:44.580
shit for a long time until the last time i got arrested i sat down for 10 years i did 10 years
0.98
00:22:49.820
in prison and then i'm just like i and then i started understanding that i started unraveling
0.98
00:22:54.080
that and then i started dealing so that's the biggest lesson i learned that just step out of
00:22:57.940
my my way and let myself be great you know let myself you know whatever somebody said about me
00:23:03.360
or to me or whatever like that's their fucking that's whatever they think but people get proven
0.95
00:23:09.180
wrong every day you know i'm saying so you know i ain't no fucking different you know i'm saying
0.97
00:23:14.400
i might not be perfect to what the fuck anybody else wants but i'm perfect to whatever whatever
0.89
00:23:19.320
the fuck i want to be you feel me because you were you must have been like the strongest minority
0.97
00:23:25.020
you could have been you know there's no asians in jail right what did you realize of how people
1.00
00:23:30.680
perceive asians being like one of the only ones there in an environment like prison yeah i mean
0.99
00:23:37.080
i think at first like you know at first you just get dealt with like you know with the with the
00:23:45.100
But I feel like once you show that, you know, what you're about
0.99
00:23:52.040
and that you're not pussy and that you're going to, you know,
1.00
00:23:57.120
people are going to respect that, you know what I'm saying?
1.00
00:24:01.940
So I feel like I didn't really have a lot of shit because I was Chinese, you know?
0.99
00:24:07.280
But once I started, like, you know, people knew,
0.76
00:24:09.200
people could tell by the energy people heard stories about you know me fighting and shit like
0.98
00:24:14.940
that people would you know that would be enough to like deter somebody from like fucking you know
0.96
00:24:19.620
just respecting me you know i'm saying i feel like that's a lot that's the thing you know i
0.74
00:24:23.240
mean like a lot of us a lot of people just don't respect us because they don't see us doing the
00:24:28.580
same shit that they deem gets the respect you know i'm saying we don't do the same we don't do
0.89
00:24:34.840
the shit that other people feel like should be respected you know i'm saying the things they
0.99
00:24:38.660
respect we don't do we probably get respect through notoriety yeah your grades right you
0.99
00:24:44.160
know i mean you know like our family my family like you if you have getting to a good school
00:24:48.920
you're you're respected you know i'm saying like you get a good job respected you make a lot of
00:24:53.480
money respected you know i'm saying but uh you know and other and other people look at like you
00:24:59.880
know different things you know i mean like different things for respect like you know they
00:25:03.800
respect people that that fight you know i mean they respect people that stand up for themselves
00:25:07.680
They respect different type of attributes that, you know, we don't really carry.
00:25:13.840
Do you think that's the reason why a lot of Asian women go to white men?
00:25:24.080
I think a lot of Asian women go with white men.
1.00
00:25:34.420
It's probably a lack of respect because we're so focused on grades and school and this,
00:25:38.960
and there's a lack of masculinity there that women are attracted to.
1.00
00:25:47.220
My whole, like, all of my cousins, like, when we have a family event and shit,
0.99
00:25:58.120
Like, that shit turned into the, you know, a different type of family.
1.00
00:26:06.740
You don't see a lot of Asian men with white women
00:27:01.940
you know i'm listen at the end of the day i'm not gonna say i'm not scared of anything i'm not i
00:27:06.820
don't have fear yeah i don't see any fear in you i mean but i'm not gonna say i don't have fear i
00:27:10.760
do have fear you know we all have fear like yo but i don't think you're afraid of any other person
00:27:14.500
i think you might have fear like of loneliness and shit like that like emotional like listen
0.67
00:27:19.380
fear is a natural fucking thing man fear like you can't like sometimes like i might feel fear
0.94
00:27:25.800
you know i mean like some some somebody might you know come a certain way like i might i might feel
0.97
00:27:30.880
at you know it's not something that we should run away from it's not something that we shouldn't
00:27:35.400
embrace you know i'm saying but the thing is how to conquer that fear right right how not to let
00:27:39.740
that fear overcome you know take the respect from you you know i'm saying like like like this there's
0.99
00:27:46.480
one thing to to fear there's another thing to allow that fear uh make you uh less of a fucking
0.94
00:27:53.660
you know less of a man you know i'm saying or or allow that fear to like take that from you you
0.95
00:28:00.300
know and i i i don't do that you know i'm saying i i i will i i'm not gonna let my fear like
0.98
00:28:07.880
control how the fuck you know i'm gonna live you know i'm saying you ever feel like you
0.92
00:28:12.620
couldn't rap because of what race you are no i never felt like that people never gave you that
0.99
00:28:17.640
attitude no i never felt like that i mean you know i feel like now is like you i deal with
0.97
00:28:24.220
more race shit now like you know i'm saying now 20 years ago yeah i never dealt with all of this
0.94
00:28:29.580
race shit like i don't know that's a new thing like that yeah like like when i was in when i
0.99
00:28:34.160
was coming up and shit like after i've i set my mark i said like you know after i have like a
0.98
00:28:39.060
certain type of um respect and shit like that through you know and and after i learned how to
0.95
00:28:43.960
carry myself like i don't really feel no race shit like people don't come at me like that like
0.97
00:28:49.320
you know i'm saying i'll be in all black neighborhoods all day every day you know i
0.98
00:28:53.120
mean and people don't i never had that you know i mean it's probably more about how you carry
0.99
00:28:56.500
yourself it's how you carry yourself you just fucking he just fucking nailed it this guy
0.98
00:29:01.660
i'm learning something yeah it's how you carry yourself bro because at the end of the day
0.99
00:29:05.620
they don't look at you like oh you're asian so as soon as this is how they look at me right as
00:29:11.860
soon as i i'm asian people look at me like okay but then when they see how i move it does they
00:29:17.140
don't even i don't even have to speak you know i'm saying it's just how i move how i walk in a
00:29:21.840
room. You know what I'm saying? Where my eyes go, where my back is, my body language. Because
00:29:29.120
people will test you without even saying anything to you. They'll do something and just see
00:29:32.860
how you react to it. And if you give them that, then they'll take advantage. So I feel
00:29:38.940
like a lot of us just need to learn how to carry ourselves.
00:29:42.480
How are you adapting to the social media area, the clout era? Music is changing. Like
00:29:48.380
back at 20 years ago like music is a lot more about views clout um yeah uh you did pretty well
00:29:56.460
you're like popping on instagram right that's your youtube going yeah it took me a little
00:30:00.380
minutes and still i'm not a social media person you don't think so i mean i am but i'm not like
00:30:07.760
i still like because i didn't grow up with it you know i'm saying so like some kids like i don't
00:30:12.800
know you probably i grew up you grew up with it i didn't grow up with it i grew up my whole
00:30:16.800
childhood you know i didn't have any you know computers or any phone or anything like that
00:30:22.160
right so i'm i'm like you know but i adapted to it but still it's not my core that's why i thought
00:30:28.720
you were way younger than you are right right but but it's not my core but you is different it's
00:30:33.960
more natural for you because you been doing it you know i'm saying it was something that you
00:30:37.640
me i had to adapt into it and kind of like so there's still sometimes that i just don't
00:30:42.320
you know i might go like a whole week without posting anything because i just don't want to be
00:30:46.140
you know i'm saying like you know i still do that you know so yeah do you think that the
00:30:52.560
the response to police has changed too you think more people rat now absolutely absolutely there's
00:31:00.840
i feel like people been ratting people been telling but there was more of a culture of um
0.86
00:31:06.160
just like you know no talent like more more like morals and codes and shit you know i'm saying
0.84
00:31:15.980
Yeah, but, like, it was, you know, no snitching.
00:31:19.000
Like, that was kind of, like, ingrained in the culture.
00:31:24.340
You don't think people still have that mentality?
00:31:31.920
But they don't, the majority is, like, you know, people don't respect that anymore, that code.
00:31:44.600
I think social media, just like, you know, the people, like, in my era,
00:31:49.960
like, we didn't do a good job in, like, you know, passing it down to, you know.
00:32:04.240
All right, Mac, I pretty much asked you everything I got.
00:32:10.380
and you got any any words for for the asian youth um don't be scared man you know like
00:32:20.540
your fear is something that you can conquer you know i'm saying and and don't look at nobody like
00:32:25.680
everybody everybody nobody's no we should never look at anybody like they are you know more than
00:32:35.080
us you know i'm saying at the end of the day everybody has their own pluses you know i'm
00:32:40.120
saying we should never be we should never have enough fear for other men and other people um
00:32:49.140
you know to the point where we can't control it you know i'm saying we have to learn how to
00:32:53.660
control our fear we have to learn how to speak up more and um you know and it's one step at a time
00:32:59.840
you know i'm saying like you know start start you know getting your body in shape and start just
00:33:04.840
you know paying attention to your surroundings situational awareness and um start just paying
00:33:10.360
attention to how you carry yourself you know i'm saying like you know and that's that's important
00:33:15.220
you know what should you do if you see a old asian lady getting attacked you should definitely do
1.00
00:33:20.060
something you know i'm saying i don't know it depends on what your capabilities are you know
0.98
00:33:25.540
like if i'm a fucking 18 year old kid that never got into a fight before right and i'm like five
0.95
00:33:34.080
four you know 102 pounds and I see somebody that's 6'1 you know 260 pounds you know I mean what the
0.99
00:33:42.840
fucking can I do I don't I've never been in a fight what the fuck do you want me to do what
0.97
00:33:46.580
can I do you know what I'm saying so I mean and that's why I say hey get your bodies in shape
0.99
00:33:52.560
you know what I'm saying work out you know uh practice some type of uh uh uh defense like
00:33:58.580
defense class start getting your bodies ready for something right start training conditioning
00:34:03.840
yourself to get ready for something i don't train nothing you know i'm saying like i mean i i do
00:34:09.240
boxing i do like you know i just do i just keep my body in shape as much as i can you feel me
00:34:14.420
and then um i just practice what i've been doing like you know like certain things that i learned
00:34:18.640
when i was in prison like if somebody was to come at you with a knife how to like respond to it
00:34:23.120
yeah you know and and how to use a knife certain different things that i learned while i was in
00:34:28.360
prison that's what you still do prison workouts now i do you don't go to the gym you still do
00:35:05.620
all right my brother yo man thank you so much for having me brother you know much love
