So for some of my listeners that won't know about you, right?
00:03:24.720
And what was y'all's neighborhood like growing up?
00:03:30.900
I grew up, like, in multiple different, you know what I'm saying, places.
00:03:51.740
And then, you know what I'm saying, it was robberies going on a lot heavier in one spot.
00:03:59.080
We was doing them, though, so it was different.
00:04:22.020
Like, a lot of people that grow up, you know what I'm saying, living, like, you feel me, the ghetto, dangerous life.
00:04:35.260
And then when you make it out, and then you start looking back, you're like, damn, I was playing with fire, like, the whole time.
00:04:45.660
It's like, it seems like the, it seems like Grand Theft Auto sometimes, you know?
00:04:54.260
Whenever you get out of that space and you get into, like, a, I guess probably, they probably look at it as, like, a fancier way of living or you make it out, right?
00:05:12.180
I mean, it depends on your story, you know what I'm saying, and how you came up and made it out.
00:05:19.220
And, like, you know, you always going to have a group of people that's speaking, like, down on you, you know what I'm saying, negative comments.
00:05:27.980
But, like, when you did it, like, you know what I'm saying, like, the right way or, like, you know what I'm saying, you kept it silent, you feel me?
00:05:37.360
You're going to have a lot of people that's, like, championing your name, you know?
00:05:45.620
Like, like, like, like, my story, like, you know what I'm saying, if you from L.A., like, if you from Los Angeles County, you know what I'm saying, you know YG story, you know what I'm saying?
00:05:58.420
And, you feel me, you, like, you probably damn near feel like you know YG, you know?
00:06:05.580
So I feel like me making it out, still being out here, you know what I'm saying, having success and still doing it, I feel like a lot of people, like, you know what I'm saying, they support.
00:06:23.940
Do they have Halloween in, like, the hood or whatever?
00:06:34.000
I mean, Halloween is a night you can get away with doing crime because everybody wearing costumes and masks and shit like that.
00:06:44.980
Yeah, you can't have a police lineup with fucking Dracula in it, Super Mario.
00:06:51.020
That's gonna, uh, nobody's gonna know who did anything.
00:06:55.540
You can't call and say a Pokemon just fucking held me up.
00:06:59.400
Um, what is, like, the best holiday in, uh, in, like, the hood?
00:07:33.040
It's, like, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day weekend.
00:07:39.380
So, that kind of day is a bigger day than, like, kind of a traditional holiday, probably.
00:07:43.560
Now, you ask, what's the best holiday in the hood?
00:07:49.660
Like, the other holidays, like, you with your family in the house.
00:07:54.140
Or the three holidays, I just name is, like, you outside.
00:07:59.080
So, like, on some hood shit, like, those going to be the best of the holidays, you know?
00:08:06.400
I would like, I think sometimes I would like to go to some of those parties, you know?
00:08:16.140
Like, I stopped doing, like, the wild ghetto hood.
00:08:21.340
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, hell no, I still, wait, what you mean?
00:08:23.900
Like, would you, would people take the day off of, like, doing, you know, I don't want
00:08:31.860
to say crime or whatever, but do people take the day off and just everybody, is that a truce
00:08:37.240
and everything's chill, like, on a Memorial Day or Fourth of July?
00:08:44.040
You get the wrong place at the wrong time, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:47.360
Wrong room, wrong group of people, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:53.520
Damn, bro, some fucking freeze tagging that bitch y'all playing, huh?
00:08:57.800
Yeah, like, I mean, I'm chilling, but, you know.
00:09:02.320
When you left, when you moved out of there, did you have to, like, have a formal meeting
00:09:06.600
with everybody and be like, hey, guys, I just want you to know?
00:09:09.820
No, like, bro, I was living, like, like, I was living in Inglewood for a minute, like,
00:09:19.520
but I was, like, when I started, like, having success, like, I was living in Inglewood, like,
00:09:28.700
dead smack in the middle of the ghetto, and everybody knew where I lived at.
00:09:37.180
I was having, like, songs on the radio, doing all type of, leaving out of town, going on tour,
00:09:44.540
my mama and them at the house, you know what I'm saying?
00:09:47.580
And, well, yeah, when I got up out of there, like, I just got on.
00:09:57.800
I went to the valley, but I left the valley, because I'm like, this shit weak.
00:10:12.060
I went to the valley, I left the valley and shit.
00:10:21.180
I went to, like, Huntington Beach or something.
00:10:26.320
Like, my whole life out here, I've been all over the place.
00:10:28.840
Like, do you think, man, I would love, what do you think you ever do, like, a Christmas
00:10:46.040
I don't think, I mean, I don't think it would be, I don't, I think it would.
00:10:48.640
If I did a Christmas album, like, my shit would be, like, it'd be, like, my shit would be, like, called, like, ho, ho, ho.
00:11:06.900
It's beginning to look like these bitches are showing up.
00:11:13.980
See, I would love if there was, like, kind of, like, a, I bet you could pull some anthems,
00:11:26.340
I'm dreaming of a red-boned bitch with a long-ass braid.
00:11:36.920
I would just, I've never seen a Christmas album that had, you know, that really had some
00:11:43.060
Mariah did that one, and that one was good, but there's nothing that's, nobody's really
00:11:46.760
come up and pulled up at Christmas with that fucking banger, boy.
00:11:56.580
I want to see somebody fucking shoot up a snowman, you know?

00:12:09.760
Lil Wayne, Partners in Crime, Mystical, Cash Money was huge then.
00:12:17.700
Dude, Cash Money used to come to the gym at LSU, and it was, like, Silk and Master P, and he
00:12:24.400
would, they would have these other dudes stand on the side and hold their clothes for whenever
00:12:27.780
they got done playing, just some dudes, like, just standing there like they were, like,
00:12:31.840
a coat rack, just holding their shoes and clothes.
00:12:37.600
So, what kind of motive, like, so, when do you, when does music really start to kind
00:12:42.520
of take off for you, and were you always musically inclined, or did that come with, like, through
00:12:48.420

00:13:07.300
I'm saying, family, you know what I'm saying, that's all we, like, like, listen to.
00:13:10.800

00:13:57.880
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, yeah, I'm for sure gifted, for sure, for sure gifted, um, yeah,
00:14:06.520

00:14:10.880
And would they let you, like, in school, would they let you do it, or do you, or do
00:14:14.480
you mostly just start to produce stuff with friends?
00:14:17.460
What you mean, in school would they let me do it?
00:14:19.240
Like, do they, say, like, you start coming up with lyrics, right?
00:14:23.400
Say you got, like, you got rhymes, you got lyrics, you got bars.
00:14:31.220
How do you, do you also make your own beats, or do you get matched up with a beat
00:14:36.980
Yeah, no, I was trying to make my own beats and shit at first, and shit, I couldn't get,
00:14:42.240
like, I couldn't fuck with the program, and I just couldn't get with it and shit, so, uh,
00:14:48.100
I started just rapping on, on other beats, like how Lil Wayne was doing, and shit, I was
00:14:52.860
on, like, LimeWire and all that shit, downloading shit.
00:14:59.020
And then, um, probably like a year later, I started meeting, like, motherfuckers that
00:15:04.080
made beats and shit on, on MySpace, and shit, um, and then, yeah, like, I started having
00:15:11.900

00:15:18.440
like, me, like, navigate and, like, end up popping off, you know what I'm saying, out
00:15:25.680
the city was, you know what I'm saying, I was, like, in the streets and shit, and I
00:15:29.640
had, like, a movement going on at a young age, and I had, like, a gang of motherfuckers,
00:15:36.360
It was, like, some young high school, like, high school, fresh out of high school, ghetto-ass
00:15:46.660
kid shit, you know what I'm saying, and, um, you know, that movement, like, helped me, like,
00:15:53.080
navigate through the city, like, like, everybody was talking about, like, why is he this, why
00:16:06.360
Yeah, bro, like, like, I came up, like, in the club, like, outside at a young age, doing
00:16:15.400
all the outside shit, you feel me, we was doing all the street shit, but then we was
00:16:20.740
partying, we, like, we was the party, we was the party crew, but then at the party, you
00:16:25.740
know what I'm saying, like, I used to go to all the parties, and, like, you know, I used
00:16:31.200
to be, like, like, gangbanging, you know, at the parties, and the parties was, you know,
00:16:37.800
what I'm saying, we'll have a whole bunch of, like, motherfuckers from the other side
00:16:42.880
And so they're, they're, they, and those are the guys, you gotta get those guys.
00:16:47.620
Nah, it's just, we'll start getting into it in the party, you know what I'm saying?
00:16:51.980
I'm banging my shit, they banging they shit, we like, so what?
00:16:56.220
Ah, ah, ah, and then it'll just start going up, it'll be fights, it'll be shootouts, all
00:17:04.260
You feel me, that was happening, like, every other weekend.
00:17:08.060
Dang, that's like a, that's like the Wild West, man.
00:17:11.500
Yeah, but you know what I'm saying, when you, like, bro, when you coming up in LA, and
00:17:16.020
you young and shit, like, bro, that shit is regular.
00:17:23.080
Do you have to, like, apply or anything, or how do you?
00:17:26.220
Yeah, you gotta apply, I mean, you gotta get jumped on, you know what I'm saying?
00:17:30.560
You gotta, that's you applying, I guess, you gotta get.
00:17:34.260
Yeah, you gotta get jumped on by, like, multiple motherfuckers, you know?
00:17:38.720
And what do you even wear to something like that?
00:17:41.680
Me, I had on, damn, what I had on when I got, when I got put on, I had on, like, a long
00:17:52.880
Not skinny, though, but at the time, you see me, they would have called him skinny at
00:17:59.180
And do you, are you allowed to defend yourself during that, or no, that's not part of it?
00:18:22.020
I mean, just because now your life is a little different, you know, you don't have to fight
00:18:29.760
Nah, I feel like I did enough fighting, you know what I'm saying?
00:18:35.300
Now it's like motherfuckers don't fight no more, you know?
00:18:47.200
That's their, you know, it's like, it's definitely a lot different.
00:18:51.560
Do you look at the younger generation and be like, damn, these cats got it easy?
00:19:01.940
when I was a young nigga, the motherfuckers older than us,
00:19:07.480
like, we'd hate to hear, like, oh, the motherfuckers got it easy.
00:19:23.240
Would people have some, like, bats or knuckles, bows?
00:19:38.580
What, um, what's the best type of weapon for a holdup, do you think?
00:19:45.640
If you're gonna hold somebody up, you're gonna stick somebody up or...
00:19:49.920
If you're going to rob somebody, what's the best?
00:20:20.840
I never wanted to take something to the chest, you know?
00:20:48.760
You know, you always want to have experiences that I never had.
00:20:57.560
I know, but now it's like I don't drink or anything now, so I feel like I would really
00:21:18.480
Take me through that experience of getting shot, man.
00:21:26.960
Like, what you mean, take the experience, like...
00:21:30.200
Were you expecting to get shot, or it was a surprise?
00:21:39.500
But, like, I ran out trying to, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:21:51.700
Trying to do something, and then I ended up getting shot.
00:22:08.380
Like, you know what, like, pubic hair and shit at?
00:22:16.540
Right there on the dick, like, on top of the...
00:22:37.900
Like, well, my shit was, like, it's, like, all flesh.
00:22:51.300
And did you go to the doctor, or did you have a friend take it out?
00:23:00.400
Did you feel like it gave you more street credit after that?
00:23:02.940
Like, at that point, do you feel like, man, I think...
00:23:09.320
Nah, I don't, like, getting shot don't give you street credit.
00:23:13.940
Like, or the motherfucker that's doing the shooting to get the street credit.
00:23:26.020
Like, the motherfuckers who start shooting, they end up getting chased up out of there.
00:23:35.920
And whatever happened to them, did you ever see them again, or see them even online or
00:23:41.660
Nah, we still be trying to figure out, like, who the fuck.
00:23:53.320
Because, you know what I'm saying, now it's like, you just on, on, on.
00:23:58.100
You got your guard up at all times, because you don't know.
00:24:01.680
You coming across people, like, and it's already, like...
00:24:05.000
You would, like, have some weird vibes with somebody, and then you would be just...
00:24:11.120
Does this motherfucker have something to do with that shit?
00:24:16.740
I could see that easy, being kind of, like, suspecting everybody a little bit.
00:24:29.520

When you look at music for you now, how has it kind of evolved?
00:25:49.140
How has rap evolved for you since you first started?
00:25:51.800
Like, when you look at making a new project, because you've had a good vision.
00:25:58.300
I feel like at this point, you've had a good vision of the industry.
00:26:03.180
You've also, what does it look like when you kind of are trying to put something new together?
00:26:11.180
A project, like a whole album maybe, or even just a song.
00:26:15.000
I mean, for a project, it depends on what type of project I'm trying to make.
00:26:26.320
I'm not sure, but we can make it come out whenever.
00:26:28.200
All right, so like, me and Tiger working on a project right now, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:34.260
And the approach is just like, we just talking shit, we having fun, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:40.500
It ain't no pressure, it ain't no, it's not no deep thinking, none of that type of shit.
00:26:48.420
We linking up, we vibing out, we doing music, we partying, we doing all this shit, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:01.300
And then you got the, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:02.900
You got the, you got the real, you got the conceptual album's, like, approach, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:12.040
And that shit get a little different, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:13.920
That shit, like, you bring the whiteboards out, you bring the notepads out, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:21.000
It's a lot of shit and plot and, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:23.800
You listening to whatever your favorite albums might be or whatever type of shit you trying to do, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:31.520
You getting inspiration, you watching movies, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:35.200
You watching whatever you, it's deep, it's intense, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:42.360
Those are, like, the two different type of album process that I've been doing, you know what I'm saying, since I've been rapping and shit.
00:27:51.040
You've had works in the past, I heard you talk about, that you, just your ownership of your stuff, you know?
00:28:00.080
Like, your ownership of your masters, I guess, and of your, like, just your work, right?
00:28:06.460
It's one of the reasons why I podcast, so that I don't have to work for anybody, right?
00:28:14.100
They love that they know this is, nobody's cutting this, you know?
00:28:19.440
Nobody has a hand in on this except for the person who's the creator, you know?
00:28:26.360
Because I know you, I mean, I've listened to you talk about it a little bit, but where does that kind of come from, you think?
00:28:35.140
Um, so I just got, like, my ownership and all that shit, like, recently, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:42.020
Probably, like, probably, like, last year, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:45.440
Like, my music moving forward type shit, which is, uh, it is what it is, but, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:52.420
My shit, me caring about that, um, me caring about it, it's like, now I'm grown as fuck, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:01.620
So it's like, it's normal, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:05.740
That's how we moving, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:07.480
You hit a certain age and you start realizing certain shit, but, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:12.380
I started caring about the shit before I was older because, like, Nipsey had a lot to do with that, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:23.760
He would preach that shit, like, bro, he would preach that shit crazy, like...
00:29:27.620
Like, like, yeah, like, bro, crazy, and then the brand shit, like, creating your own brand, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:34.220
That'll live on longer than you, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:38.300
He was, like, he was pushing that line and all that, and, you know, you feel me?
00:29:42.400
That's when I created my 400 brand and shit, and, um, yeah, that's, like, probably one of the best things I ever did, you know?
00:29:51.480
Um, and I own that fully, like, own that, been owning that years, so, um...
00:30:01.860
I was on that shit, like, back in the day, like, 25, 26, but, like, my deal, you know what I'm saying?
00:30:09.360
I signed when I was 19, you know what I'm saying?
00:30:11.260
I just got out that motherfucker, like, like, like, like, 2021 type shit, so, um, now, now with my music, yeah, like, you feel me, on the music side of the shit, yeah.
00:30:23.400
Do you feel more inspired because now you can work just for yourself?
00:30:28.860
I feel like I left a whole lot of money on the table, I gotta go, you know what I'm saying, dig that shit up, bring that shit back.
00:30:33.740
Um, so, yeah, I'm inspired, for sure, for sure.
00:30:39.640
It's so crazy, yeah, because so many people don't realize, like, you need help to get places, right?
00:30:45.400
You need, sometimes, like, you have to be able to let somebody, you almost have to pay your dues a little bit sometimes, right?
00:30:52.600
Like, I remember when I would go to clubs, the club owner used to get most of the money from the ticket sales, right?
00:30:59.400
Until a certain point, when I was selling tickets, finally, I was like, no, we need to change this, right?
00:31:09.260
Oh, I'm gonna go to a club around the corner who's gonna get me the deal I want.
00:31:19.480
Um, but yeah, I think having ownership, I think, probably seems like it'd be real empowering.
00:31:24.440
Yeah, and then that nigga Jay-Z, you know what I'm saying, he like, like, you know what I'm saying,
00:31:33.180
Yeah, because Ho's been preaching that shit, you know what I'm saying, back in the 90s
00:31:41.660
So, like, we all grew up hearing that shit, you know what I'm saying?
00:31:46.820
Yeah, on your shit, on your shit, on your shit, on your shit, on your shit.
00:31:49.360
And then, like, watching, like, everybody who've been in the game, you know what I'm saying,
00:31:53.820
10, 20 years before us and shit, and looking at all they moves, it's like, bro, that shit is in us now.
00:32:03.160
Yeah, because it's such a genre, I mean, especially, I mean, rap music is really, and hip-hop is a black genre
00:32:10.340
So to think that they wouldn't have ownership of their shit is really fucking unreal.
00:32:14.920
I mean, yeah, but it's the music business, you know what I'm saying?
00:32:21.360
We created the hip-hop, rap, the leg of the shit, you know what I'm saying, branch of
00:32:28.720
the shit, but we didn't create the music business.
00:32:31.060
Right, you didn't create, yeah, who owns the speakers, who owns the radio stations, all
00:32:36.700
Yeah, the fucking distribution, how you putting the shit out, you know what I'm saying?
00:32:40.220
Yeah, there's always an owner, it seems like, man.
00:33:02.860
Because I've seen you guys, I met you at the golf.
00:33:09.800
Yeah, I ain't never been to no golf tournament or none of that shit, like, you feel me?
00:33:16.680
Bro, and they built that shit, it wasn't even supposed to, it was just usually this grass
00:33:29.180
Have you gotten to meet some, like, rap icons and stuff like that?
00:33:35.220
Yeah, I met Tupac Mama, bro, before she passed.
00:33:49.860
And they had a Tupac, I think it was, like, a museum, something with the Grammys, though.
00:34:01.360
Like, they wanted me to come speak, you feel me, on behalf of the new generation at the
00:34:10.240
And they wanted me to come speak on behalf of the new generation.
00:34:18.060
You know, the motherfuckers who grew up, like, grew up listening to Pac when he passed, that
00:34:30.300
And then I go, I speak on, like, you feel me, the new generation and just, you know what
00:34:34.960
I'm saying, how I felt and Pac Impact, you know what I'm saying?
00:34:40.680
Like, I said some shit, and his mama, she came up to me, shit, and was, like, crying and
00:34:47.340
She was like, I love what you said about my son.
00:34:52.900
And then she just looking at me, and she crying.
00:35:03.080
Bro, that shit fucked me up, because, like, I thought Pac was alive.
00:35:07.500
It's like, I thought Pac was alive, bro, my whole life, bro, I thought Pac was alive.
00:35:16.000
But that day, that day, I'm like, nah, bro, he gone, dog.
00:35:35.340
I mean, what was she, was she really broken up?
00:35:36.780
Yeah, nah, we was holding hands and shit like this, you know what I'm saying?
00:35:43.540
I mean, of course it does, because it's your child, but still, for her to say that right
00:35:50.400
Yeah, I got a picture, I got a picture with her.
00:35:55.320
If y'all on Google, y'all on Google, what y'all on?
00:36:26.900
Yeah, so when you say rap icon, you know what I'm saying?
00:36:29.640
Afani Shakur, she got an icon, you know what I'm saying?
00:36:32.180
She ain't a rapper, but she Pac-Mama and shit, you feel me?
00:36:45.100
And who's the most gangster person that you've met, really?
00:36:48.500
Who's the realest motherfucker, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:02.660
Sugar Knight used to be like Whitney and shit, pulling up to the clubs and shit.
00:37:14.520
I mean, I feel like it would be when he shows up, people get real serious, probably, around him.
00:37:24.860
Sugar got a lot of motherfuckers scared, for sure.
00:37:31.560
Man, it's a lot of motherfuckers who jeeped up, bro, you know?
00:37:44.300
I'm trying to think, did you ever get to meet Mystical or no?
00:38:00.240
I was embarrassed of my car at the time, and I didn't want him to see my fucking car.
00:38:06.940
I covered my shit in suds, too, so we couldn't see it, bro.
00:39:01.420
You know, he just shot somebody or some shit recently.
00:39:19.520
Devo looking unwell in that bitch, too, right there.
00:39:25.100
Who's like some of the hardest chicks that's coming up, you think?
00:40:26.180
I think, what's the darkest woman you've ever been with, you think?
00:40:31.240
Yeah, I have some dark-skinned women, for sure.
00:40:50.820
Yeah, I think I would like, yeah, I would maybe like a nice black woman.
00:41:18.320
What rapper would be a good preacher as well, you think, or a good pastor?
00:41:52.680
He look like a lean Jesse Jackson, like an early Jesse Jackson, bro.
00:42:11.860
Nah, but I was watching this shit on the internet and shit.
00:42:16.980
In the rap community, do people think that he went crazy?
00:42:26.220
The black community, the rap community, we love Kanye.
00:43:00.960
I had just bought his shoes, and then they said, you know...
00:43:12.720
Yeah, I think he gonna do something like that, for sure.
00:43:20.320
What other kind of business do you see yourself getting in, man?
00:43:31.620
I want to do some rap chips, or the rap snack chips and shit.
00:43:37.100
I mean, I want to do me some little bags, you know what I'm saying?
00:43:42.500
But, man, I'm heavy in the TV and film space right now.
00:43:48.760
I was gonna announce it when it first happened, but you feel me?
00:43:59.960
And then I'm gonna announce, you know what I'm saying, my partnership and what I got going on.
00:44:04.000
And, yeah, I'm heavy into the TV and film space right now.
00:44:50.780
I'm just saying, boy, if I do a crime, bro, I'm doing it in the fucking nicest shit.
00:45:07.420
I hate when motherfuckers pull up on me empty-handed.
00:45:10.940
Like, motherfucker, bring a bottle or something.
00:45:28.920
Hey, wear my shit like you wear the fucking Yeezys and shit.
00:45:55.980
Is cocaine or like a, do people do cocaine in the hood?
00:46:08.940
Did you see somebody that you just saw the effects of it?
00:46:13.440
Nah, like, I just, I don't even remember me doing it.
00:46:17.840
I gotta ask one of my homies if I ever tried it.
00:46:25.420
You see a lot of brothers doing mushrooms now, bro.
00:46:32.320
But do you think it's, when I was growing up, they didn't have, a lot of brothers wasn't
00:46:45.200
It's a lot of motherfuckers in the hood doing mushrooms.
00:46:49.140
Because that's good for your, like, it expands your mind, you know?
00:46:52.860
Like, my homies and shit, like, they be like, yeah, I'm off the shrooms.
00:46:56.120
I'm like, damn, y'all niggas doing shrooms now?
00:47:03.940
One time I was in the studio and shit, and the walls was moving and shit, and I was trying
00:47:11.880
The mic right here, and then the wall right behind the mic.
00:47:14.740
So, like, I'm just looking at the wall, trying to rap, and the shit was, like, moving and
00:47:23.000
And then I was up all night talking, like, about, like, space and the aliens and shit.
00:47:28.640
I'm like, I'm like, yeah, nah, I can't do this shit.
00:47:40.200
Yeah, I think mushroom will make you really, because we did a bunch of LSD one time, and
00:47:49.600
They had a Waffle House in our town, so we went there, and we was all, you know, we was
00:47:57.900
Oh, we looked like a couple of fucking squirrels, bro.
00:48:00.540
We looked like the fucking two squirrels in that bitch.
00:48:03.200
And we'd never, uh, and they had a gay gentleman that worked in there, and he was a, um, he
00:48:13.500
And we were laughing so hard, um, he thought my buddy was choking, right?
00:48:18.100
So, he starts doing a Heimlich maneuver on my buddy, bro, and we fucking howled, bro.
00:48:30.320
That dude pumping my buddy, bro, at the Waffle House.
00:48:36.700
I'm trying to meet, you remember the first white person you ever met or not?
00:48:49.440
I'm trying to remember the first black guy I ever met.
00:48:56.780
Dude, I remember the first time I went to a black doctor, right?
00:48:59.420
I went to a doctor, and I'd never been to a black doctor.
00:49:04.360
And I went in, and it was a black doctor, and I was like, oh, fuck, man.
00:49:22.040
It made me think that when I was growing up, all my black friends had to go to white doctors.
00:49:26.860
And I was like, fuck, I wonder if they ever went in there and thought, how's this dude?
00:49:32.140
Just because of what times, like, how's this dude gonna know what's wrong with me?
00:49:35.560
No, so, hey, so, like, now, when I be going to the doctor, I want a black doctor.
00:49:52.460
You probably a little smarter than this motherfucker.
00:49:58.400
But when it comes down to it, I feel like, because I'm so, like, tapped in into the world
00:50:07.080
and shit now and just people and shit, like, I'm like, I want a black doctor because I'm
00:50:12.940
So, if I got a black doctor, I feel like he gonna care about me and what I got going on
00:50:25.040
It's just like, you feel me, like, that's just how humans, I don't know.
00:50:30.940
I feel like, like, if I'm a black dude and I walk in a fucking doctor's office, the black
00:50:37.660
person gonna care about my situation more than anybody else.
00:50:42.980
Well, it makes sense that anybody would think that way.
00:50:45.980
And if he had, like, I think, well, when I was growing up, they didn't have, like, a
00:50:50.500
lot of black folks didn't have, you didn't have a black, like, in our town, we didn't
00:50:55.400
We had assistant principal, teachers, some black teachers, but they just didn't have
00:51:01.220
Like, it was in Louisiana, they just didn't have it yet.
00:51:05.980
I just never thought, damn, I never even been to a black doctor.
00:51:08.920
And then I walked in one day, and it was a black doctor, and I was like, damn, I don't
00:51:19.020
And then I started thinking, yeah, what if people had gone, had their whole life, they had
00:51:22.420
to go to white doctors, would they ever think that they were being, they might think they
00:51:44.320

But I'm trying to think of what else we could think about.
00:53:07.540
Oh, a lot of people say that there's beef between black folks and aliens and shit.
00:53:29.880
So you think a lot of people just, they capping, they're lying.
00:54:12.680
And I think black people would see them often because they're black people outside a lot.
00:54:23.860
I was just saying so everybody would see them, bro.
00:54:27.800
I'm just saying, they would probably see them first, right?
00:54:31.200
I don't know because white people outside more than us because, you feel me, they be
00:54:49.040
Well, I think a lot of them, they seem to get out more at night.
00:54:53.420
Because we see our airplanes fly during the daytime.
00:55:03.380
So, do you have a new plan for when's your stuff with Tiger going to come out?
00:55:08.720
Do you have a plan or it's just kind of you taking it as it comes?
00:55:11.600
I mean, that shit coming out like August, September, you know what I'm saying?
00:55:15.360
Yeah, we got the tour, you know what I'm saying?
00:55:19.920
Yeah, me, him, and Sweetie going on tour and shit.
00:55:24.620
As long as this interview come out after next Tuesday, it's good.
00:55:35.120
And this will be your first tour since pandemic, huh?
00:55:38.000
Nah, I did like a run top of this year, like January, February, I did a run.
00:55:50.360
Man, I'm like the dude who like partying and shit, you know?
00:56:27.620
I mean, I seen you met like Donald Trump or something.
00:56:48.340
Hey, last week, bro, that was like two months ago.
00:56:54.560
Um, this guy, Volkanovsky, and another guy, Yair Rodriguez, were the headliners.
00:57:06.800
It seems like, to me, it seemed like more black guys would mess with Trump because he seems more, like, connected to the culture a little bit.
00:57:17.060
So, the black community was not fucking with Trump, you know what I'm saying?
00:57:22.980
But when that PPP shit and all that shit came out, black people forgave him.
00:57:34.660
I'm speaking on the motherfuckers in the hood and shit in the face.
00:57:56.760
And he was like, hell yeah, that nigga was passing out money.
00:58:04.160
Somebody showed up with a couple of bucks, man.
00:58:12.320
I mean, I didn't speak with him too much, but his son was there.
00:58:21.300
I don't really trust a lot of these cats, you know?
00:58:33.480
So if something was happening in our area, nobody cared because we weren't paying taxes.
00:58:40.000
So they weren't really coming to help us, you know?
00:58:46.700
I asked him if he thought I could be a working pot.
00:58:50.360
If he thought I could work in politics one day.
00:59:26.080
I laughed so hard, man, because he was right, kind of.
00:59:29.080
He, like, makes you feel, you know, he's just good at shaking.
00:59:35.900
He rolled in with Mike Tyson, man, the first time that I met him, which was crazy.
00:59:39.820
And then, but yeah, he seemed to be doing good.
00:59:46.920
Oh, I did sit next to his son one time, because his son looks kind of like a business guy,
00:59:51.380
Man, you know I made the biggest fuck Trump song ever?
01:00:05.220
So I wanted to, like, what he gonna, like, if I ever met that nigga, like, what he gonna
01:00:15.320
He would at least give you that credit, you know?
01:00:21.960
He would at least, I think, give you that credit, man.
01:00:27.840
And politics is interesting, because you start to see, like, if certain communities
01:00:31.100
are just being used, if certain communities are just being taken advantage of, you know?
01:00:37.180
But anyway, man, I'm trying to think of anything else we want to talk about.
01:00:48.380
I don't know what he's like as a business person and everything, but he seemed to just
01:00:54.700
Yeah, he'd be grabbing bitches by their pussy and shit, too, right?
01:00:57.060
I mean, who, a lot of people have been, you know what I'm saying, bro?
01:01:05.320
Well, he's told a fucking set of, like, dishwashing gloves that were just like that, bro.
01:01:18.840
He did, yeah, he was grabbing people by the pussy, man.
01:01:23.500
But, yeah, and I guess some people don't want, they don't want that.
01:01:46.860
And you like a long woman or you like a small woman?
01:01:51.660
Like, how you just said that, that shit don't sound right at all.
01:02:10.640
He hopped out, you feel me, on Rosecrans, all his chains on, you feel me?
01:02:36.620
And I remember I put a tweet out of it that said, he is risen, bro.
01:03:05.760
You know when you going around, you riding around, you scoping some shit out?
01:03:14.160
Yeah, I used to fucking listen to that shit, boy.
01:03:22.660
You get out the car to dance at a stoplight with that bitch on, bro.
01:03:27.660
In Louisiana, you put that on, there could be anything going on, bro.
01:03:34.580
Wedding, you turn on that fucking song, everything changes, bro.
01:03:46.700
He came in here, and we had a really nice time.
01:03:56.240
You got to appreciate motherfuckers like Boosie, bro, you know?
01:04:03.640
He got extremely high, I remember, and then he went outside, and he opened the car door,
01:04:09.620
and they had a bunch of luggage and stuff in there, but they had a couple bitches rolled
01:04:22.740
Yeah, bro, I'm working on a new product, you know what I'm saying, that's finna come
01:04:32.980
My homies be taking a lot of them sex pills from the gas station, like the Blue Rhinos
01:04:45.540
Oh, the ones make my legs sweat, the ones I used to take.
01:04:47.280
I'm working on some all-natural sex pills, all-natural, you know what I'm saying, some
01:04:53.640
all-natural shit, and I'm going to put them out through the brand and shit.
01:04:57.320
You know, I'm inspired by the homies and shit, because I'm like, bro, y'all can't keep,
01:05:03.420
y'all going to have heart problems and shit later on.
01:05:13.700
You can take 10, like, who knows, like, you know what I'm saying?
01:05:16.880
So it's like, nah, bro, let me go figure this shit out.
01:05:19.220
I'm going to go put something together, you know?
01:05:21.920
So, hey, when I get the, you know what I'm saying, when I get the final product.
01:05:25.920
I'll be a trial, dude, bro, I'll be a trial tester for them.
01:05:28.960
Nah, we already got the testing and shit going on.
01:05:37.000
I'll take one if I'm even going to the market or anything, if I'm going just to,
01:05:41.220
I'll go to Ross Dress for Less, bro, to have a little bit of pump on me.
01:05:56.980
But I'm just saying, bro, you'd rather roll in like this or like that.
01:06:00.040
You halfway to the fucking, you halfway to the party.
01:06:07.200
Yeah, that's the pill for, you know what I'm saying, whenever you want to do what you
01:06:16.040
Is there a lot of erectile dysfunction in the black community?
01:06:32.360
Motherfuckers be trying to, they be having like a lot of different women.
01:06:55.800
But, like, it's going to be a product for everybody.
01:07:04.340
So, you know, think if I created like the Trojan condoms.
01:07:35.340
Yeah, discreet, classy, you know what I'm saying?
01:07:37.880
But I'm going to give it to you so you can test it out.
01:07:47.300
I'm going to give you the pill and you let me know, did it work or not?
01:07:56.180
That, because here the worst part is if you take one, right, you go on a date, you take
01:08:03.840
one, and then your date says, I'm not having a nice time on this date, I'm going home.
01:08:15.900
But I'm just saying, if you take a pill, you get amped up a little bit, and then the lady
01:08:20.400
goes home, you lurk, then now you out in the town, you lurking.
01:08:27.640
Because nigga going straight to sleep, you know what I'm saying?
01:09:18.120
And if I can get natural on some fucking, if I get one of those brother uppers and I'm
01:09:40.340
And we're looking forward to the new music, man.
01:09:58.640
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
