00:00:14.890 --> 00:00:16.489
Wake your ass up.
00:00:18.170 --> 00:00:21.289
It is time for the podcast.
00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:23.609
We are live and uncut.
00:00:24.329 --> 00:00:27.929
Look at you, we back again, man, with another exclusive interview, man.
00:00:28.009 --> 00:00:30.490

00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:35.609
Man, hey, look.
00:00:35.689 --> 00:00:36.329
You know what I'm saying?
00:00:36.409 --> 00:00:36.890
Tease up.
00:00:36.969 --> 00:00:37.689
Tease what it is, man.
00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:39.689
Shout out to Caleb Kirk and all the gang, man.
00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:40.250
Come on, man.
00:00:40.409 --> 00:00:41.450
See me, this is how we do it.
00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:43.369
We got fresh money, man.
00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:46.169
Let the people know, man, where fresh money from, man.
00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:51.369
Originally I'm from Jamaica, but I grew up in Vallejo, California.
00:00:51.449 --> 00:00:52.169
You know what I'm saying?
00:00:52.329 --> 00:01:00.890
Uh came up on the my people's destination, real so big, and uh purple and ENT.
00:01:01.850 --> 00:01:07.850
So when you say you came from Jamaica, man, how old were you when you came from Jamaica and what's some of your experience of being a Jamaican kid?
00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:09.210
I would say I came here.
00:01:09.530 --> 00:01:11.769
I would say I came here like 11.
00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:15.930
My experiences in Jamaica was that my dad was a DJ.
00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:25.930
I grew up learning how to tweak speakers, the type of music people like, the vibes, being behind the scenes, you know what I'm saying?
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:32.570
I've always been that type of person that's been behind the scenes, working behind the scenes, seeing how everything works, you know what I'm saying?
00:01:32.650 --> 00:01:36.890
So my experiences in Jamaica really is from music and hustling.
00:01:36.969 --> 00:01:37.609
You know what I'm saying?
00:01:37.690 --> 00:01:40.890
Hustling on the streets, selling fruits to people, you know what I'm saying, stuff like that.
00:01:41.050 --> 00:01:44.010
And I took that to America when I moved here at 11.
00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:44.810
Damn.
00:01:45.130 --> 00:01:52.010
So some of your experiences as a Jamaican kid, like you said, in Jamaica selling fruits.
00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:59.530
Like, you you picked up an entrepreneur type at a young age.
00:01:59.690 --> 00:02:00.410
You know what I'm saying?
00:02:00.490 --> 00:02:04.170
So, like you said, you brought that hustle to the United States at 11.
00:02:04.250 --> 00:02:07.930
Like, most people that here are very privileged.
00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:12.409
So we don't really pick up shit till down there we have being grown.
00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:13.370
You know what I'm saying?
00:02:13.449 --> 00:02:15.210
So that's kind of an advantage.
00:02:15.289 --> 00:02:19.449
I feel like being somewhere else and coming here, you got that hunger.
00:02:19.609 --> 00:02:20.490
You know what I'm saying?
00:02:20.569 --> 00:02:27.769
Like, how did it feel having a different type of hunger and drive when you be seeing a lot of people had the opportunity but didn't take advantage of it?
00:02:28.009 --> 00:02:32.489
I'm gonna be honest, man, that's a tr that's a thing that I've noticed when I came here.
00:02:32.569 --> 00:02:36.729
It's like, you know, it's it's kind of like people be so comfortable.
00:02:36.810 --> 00:02:38.169
And and it could be Jamaica too.
00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:41.689
Like, Jamaica could have all the resources and people gonna get comfortable, right?
00:02:41.929 --> 00:02:48.569
I just feel like wherever you are, if it's if it's a lot of opportunities, you miss those opportunities because you're comfortable.
00:02:48.649 --> 00:02:53.609
That's why there's a lot of people, and it's it ain't even Jamaicans, Mexicans, Asians, whatever.
00:02:53.769 --> 00:02:56.489
It could be an African, another black person that comes to America.
00:02:56.569 --> 00:03:05.609
It's just that here, people get, they they've been here for so long that they're accustomed to the easiness, right?
00:03:05.849 --> 00:03:13.049
And what happens is somebody comes from overseas and they will bunch up together six, seven people in a room.
00:03:13.209 --> 00:03:15.209
Over here, a lot of people wouldn't even do that because of pride.
00:03:15.289 --> 00:03:15.689
You know what I'm saying?
00:03:15.769 --> 00:03:18.169
Like, oh man, I ain't living with a bunch of people in my house.
00:03:18.409 --> 00:03:23.370
But people that come from overseas, they're already living with uh 11, 12 people in the house.
00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:24.090
You know what I'm saying?
00:03:24.169 --> 00:03:29.289
So at the end of the day, it's like people just have to get their minds right.
00:03:29.530 --> 00:03:31.049
And I feel like it's easy to do, man.
00:03:31.209 --> 00:03:33.209
And that's what I'm that's what I'm kind of here.
00:03:33.530 --> 00:03:35.449
I feel like I'm I was brought here to do that.
00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:36.329
You know what I'm saying?
00:03:36.649 --> 00:03:43.129
To help my people realize the opportunities and where they're at in life.
00:03:43.289 --> 00:03:49.370
Because honestly, when it comes to black America and people that's in, because it's black people everywhere, right?
00:03:49.530 --> 00:03:57.449
But when it comes to black America, I feel like black America runs like the economy in the world.
00:03:58.009 --> 00:04:03.929
People look at a black person and be like, man, they wearing these V Sou jeans on it, and everybody starts wearing it around the world, China everywhere, right?
00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:07.370
Because black America is the culture of the world.
00:04:07.609 --> 00:04:11.289
But it because y'all are Judah, right?
00:04:11.449 --> 00:04:12.569
I'm a Benjamin.
00:04:12.729 --> 00:04:13.929
Y'all are Judah.
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:16.730
So that's what y'all are.
00:04:16.889 --> 00:04:19.209
Y'all are the people to lead.
00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:25.689
But what happens is when it comes to leading, if somebody knows your history and said, hey, you know what?
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:27.209
You guys have to lead.
00:04:27.530 --> 00:04:35.289
I know you have to lead, and then give you misinformation, then you guys fall short and not be a leader and be dependents, right?
00:04:35.529 --> 00:04:38.730
So at the end of the day, I feel like that's why I was brought here.
00:04:38.889 --> 00:04:43.209
And I don't even care what happens with my life or anything like that.
00:04:43.370 --> 00:04:50.170
I just want to make sure that my people know who they are and raise their kids to know who they are.
00:04:50.329 --> 00:05:01.129
So once we get older, we bring back like that old school stuff like the 1950s, 1960s, Martin Luther King, or what's the bro name?
00:05:02.089 --> 00:05:04.730
It's Martin Luther King and then there is Michael Max.
00:05:04.969 --> 00:05:10.009
Because Malcolm X, I read Michael Max's book, he studied Marcus Garvey, he's from Jamaica, right?
00:05:10.409 --> 00:05:25.449
Malcolm X, his way of doing things, I feel like is impeccable, but at the same time, I feel like we can do a lot of grasping of our past.
00:05:25.529 --> 00:05:28.649
And I want once we do that, I feel like, you know, we'll be better.
00:05:28.810 --> 00:05:39.610
And so that I feel like that's why I'm here, and that my experiences that have taught me how to be a better person, how to, how to express myself to my fellow black man.
00:05:39.769 --> 00:05:40.409
You know what I'm saying?
00:05:40.569 --> 00:05:43.370
My fellow, my fellow, sorry, black man.
00:05:43.529 --> 00:05:44.170
You know what I'm saying?
00:05:44.329 --> 00:05:48.409
And be like, hey, bro, we can get back to greatness.
00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:49.529
Facts.
00:05:49.930 --> 00:05:50.569
Facts.
00:05:51.449 --> 00:05:54.810
The crazy part, I can hear that you understand like tradition.
00:05:54.889 --> 00:06:00.009
You bring a lot of your tradition of understanding the approach of life over there to over here.
00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:04.649
So you have a vivid, clear vision when it comes to life.
00:06:04.810 --> 00:06:05.449
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:05.610 --> 00:06:10.089
Like you said, inherited to know like where you come from.
00:06:10.569 --> 00:06:22.969
See, a lot of people here, we have been broken from the era of really knowing our grandparents.
00:06:24.329 --> 00:06:25.289
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:25.529 --> 00:06:27.050
Great-great parents.
00:06:27.289 --> 00:06:28.250
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:28.569 --> 00:06:33.849
So we mix a lot of traditional things.
00:06:34.009 --> 00:06:35.930
A lot of people don't go to friend reunions.
00:06:36.009 --> 00:06:37.930
A lot of people never been to a friend reunion.
00:06:38.569 --> 00:06:39.289
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:41.610
So it's a lot of people don't understand their culture.
00:06:41.689 --> 00:06:44.649
They don't understand who they are, they don't know what the abnificy.
00:06:44.810 --> 00:06:45.529
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:45.610 --> 00:06:48.329
A lot of people that might not know that they might be Moorish Moroccan.
00:06:48.569 --> 00:06:48.730
Nah.
00:06:49.129 --> 00:06:49.209
Right.
00:06:49.930 --> 00:06:50.009
Yeah.
00:06:50.569 --> 00:06:51.209
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:51.289 --> 00:06:58.409
So it's like it's a lot of misinterpretation of life to where we still gotta understand who we are as people, you know what I'm saying?
00:06:58.490 --> 00:07:00.329
And the importance of the value.
00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:04.409
And like you said, leadership.
00:07:05.449 --> 00:07:10.810
A lot of people don't know how to lead because everybody of today is taught to follow due to social media.
00:07:11.050 --> 00:07:12.009
Man, facts.
00:07:12.250 --> 00:07:16.250
Our social media presence when we was going up was actually in person, being outside.
00:07:16.409 --> 00:07:16.730
True.
00:07:16.889 --> 00:07:23.209
That's how we learn to be a follower if you was following something or being the leader because you were being the leader.
00:07:23.289 --> 00:07:24.089
You know what I'm saying?
00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:29.449
But they turn those two facts of life into social media life.
00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:39.769
And I think a lot of us run to it for validation when you validate it as already being a person who you are.
00:07:40.009 --> 00:07:40.170
Sure.
00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:46.730
And then it's fucked up because it's not unique no more.
00:07:46.810 --> 00:07:47.930
You know what I'm saying?
00:07:48.170 --> 00:07:59.689
And it's I remember when Marspace first came around and how creative we and juiced we were that the man changed in the background and make it be shiny or blingy or you know what I'm saying?
00:07:59.849 --> 00:08:00.810
Simple shit as that.
00:08:00.969 --> 00:08:15.689
And it's like now it's so, it's so computer programmed within us, it's like, motherfucker, the first thing that we do, majority of us, is grab our phone and look at social media, and it's like, damn, this shit has played a dominant effect on our lives.
00:08:16.089 --> 00:08:17.129
You know what I'm saying?
00:08:17.689 --> 00:08:34.170
How do you feel about, you know, crossing over from a different country to like being, like you said, in a crest and having to be against diversity because I'm pretty sure when you first came, like your English was kind of broken.
00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:35.050
Broken.
00:08:35.690 --> 00:08:39.210
It's just like I can say right now, yo, what a bomb claiman depan.
00:08:39.610 --> 00:08:39.850
Right?
00:08:39.930 --> 00:08:44.009
It's like a a Mexican that can speak English and Spanish, right?
00:08:44.330 --> 00:08:49.450
But it's one of them things is where I was so people they make fun of me.
00:08:49.610 --> 00:08:51.450
Cool run-ins, I got all the jokes.
00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:52.970
Cool runnings, right?
00:08:54.409 --> 00:08:56.889
RP Papaya, man, Vileo, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:57.049 --> 00:08:57.929
Goon, man.
00:08:58.730 --> 00:09:04.569
But it was hard, man, I ain't gonna lie to you, because the dialect, right?
00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:06.569
I had to learn English fast.
00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:08.569
I tr I tried my best.
00:09:08.970 --> 00:09:12.649
But like I said, man, I realized the difference.
00:09:13.450 --> 00:09:18.649
As soon as I came here, I realize I realized the difference between cultures, you know?
00:09:19.610 --> 00:09:23.529
But I accept all cultures because my cousins, right?
00:09:23.689 --> 00:09:30.649
So I can I can I already had a heads up before I came here, because my cousins, they're from uh East Oakland, right?
00:09:30.889 --> 00:09:31.929
Surrany Park.
00:09:32.090 --> 00:09:35.210
So before I moved here, I already had family here.
00:09:35.370 --> 00:09:36.090
You know what I'm saying?
00:09:36.169 --> 00:09:38.409
My granny was here in the 90s.
00:09:38.569 --> 00:09:42.490
She lived in they came to Treasure Island, there was a part of the military.
00:09:42.649 --> 00:09:52.649
So before the crest was even the crest, because my family was gonna move to the crest, but it was country, it was horses and a bunch of uh carriages, basically the country side crest, right?
00:09:52.809 --> 00:09:57.769
So before that, well, even before South Valley was South Valleo, my family was already here.
00:09:57.929 --> 00:09:58.730
You know what I'm saying?
00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:02.090
So I moved here when they already was established.
00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:03.289
Here, you know what I'm saying?
00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:06.809
So I have cousins, like I said, in Oakland, East Oakland, stuff like that.
00:10:06.970 --> 00:10:14.409
So the difference moving here was just basically understanding English fully and stuff like that, you know what I'm saying?
00:10:14.490 --> 00:10:16.490
But that that came easy, you know.
00:10:17.610 --> 00:10:23.289
Everything else, the difference is I'm gonna be honest, bruh.
00:10:23.769 --> 00:10:28.490
The only big difference I really recognize came when I came here, because everybody in Jamaica is black.
00:10:28.649 --> 00:10:30.409
So everybody is black, bruh.
00:10:30.569 --> 00:10:30.970
You feel me?
00:10:31.129 --> 00:10:35.049
My my granny is Indian a little bit, but everybody is really black, right?
00:10:35.129 --> 00:10:44.569
So when my first came here, the my one of my biggest things was racism, dealing with people saying like, yo, you were a stupid nigga or something like that.
00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:45.450
You know what I'm saying?
00:10:45.689 --> 00:10:46.809
I didn't understand that.
00:10:46.889 --> 00:10:51.450
So that's the biggest difference from moving from a place from Jamaica to coming to America.
00:10:51.529 --> 00:10:54.569
It ain't even the money, it ain't even like the society.
00:10:54.730 --> 00:10:57.850
It was really just under I never experienced racism.
00:10:58.009 --> 00:10:58.649
You know what I'm saying?
00:10:58.730 --> 00:11:01.769
I this is my first time coming here and I experienced racism.
00:11:01.850 --> 00:11:04.569
I I I didn't even know what it was until I came here.
00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:05.450
You know what I'm saying?
00:11:05.529 --> 00:11:06.970
So that's that was the biggest difference.
00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:09.529
So I gotta like a question, right?
00:11:11.210 --> 00:11:19.049
How do real Jamaicans, right, feel about American blacks?
00:11:19.289 --> 00:11:20.490
And I want you to be honest.
00:11:20.649 --> 00:11:22.009
Nah, I'm gonna be honest, man.
00:11:22.090 --> 00:11:25.850
They feel like American black people are successful.
00:11:26.409 --> 00:11:33.049
And the only the only downside to I would say Jamaican was, honestly, bro, man, we love Americans, bro.
00:11:33.210 --> 00:11:36.490
Jamaican black people, nobody else but Americans, we love y'all, bro.
00:11:36.649 --> 00:11:38.889
Like, man, man.
00:11:39.610 --> 00:11:48.730
Like Buster Rhines, even though he had Jamaican, Lil Wayne, DMX, like, bro, y'all get celebrated so much in Jamaica, bro.
00:11:48.809 --> 00:11:53.689
Like, Jamaican, I'm an American black person goes to Jamaica, bro, they're gonna get celebrated.
00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:57.929
That's why, I think that's the reason why a lot of people take vacation in Jamaica, they get celebrated so much.
00:11:58.169 --> 00:11:59.129
You know what I'm saying?
00:11:59.289 --> 00:12:16.169
I think the stigma that people look down on them African Americans, I think that's more like other African countries, but in Jamaica, bro, man, growing up, I was, man, listen, growing up, I was like six years old.
00:12:16.250 --> 00:12:22.730
People telling me, man, in America, bro, man, they got bicycles just hanging out in the street just for free.
00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:25.049
I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying?
00:12:25.210 --> 00:12:28.490
So that stigma is like, man, I love it.
00:12:28.569 --> 00:12:29.289
You know what I'm saying?
00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:41.610
When I came here, I feel like the people, I wouldn't say African American, Mexican, white, but everybody was just so accepting, bro.
00:12:41.769 --> 00:12:47.210
Like when I first moved here, like the first person I met, I think his name was Arthur.
00:12:47.370 --> 00:12:48.090
You know what I'm saying?
00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:49.529
Great person, bro.
00:12:49.689 --> 00:13:00.090
Uh and I feel like my expectations was met at that point.
00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:04.250
Because I when before I moved here, I thought it was like the best place in the world, you know what I'm saying?
00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:05.210
Like, and it still is.
00:13:05.289 --> 00:13:05.850
You know what I'm saying?
00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:09.529
It's way better than Jamaica, way better than Trinidad and Tobago.
00:13:09.689 --> 00:13:13.929
Like, America is a is a land of really opportunity, and I love it.
00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:16.889
You can do anything you want here, you know what I'm saying?
00:13:16.970 --> 00:13:23.049
And I feel like, as far as like African-American people, I feel like we're all the same.
00:13:23.210 --> 00:13:24.090
You know what I'm saying?
00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:31.929
African-American people, African, I can't say African-American people, but I can't even say that because can I say this?
00:13:32.090 --> 00:13:33.289
Who say if you will?
00:13:33.769 --> 00:13:34.330
All right.
00:13:34.569 --> 00:13:36.250
Y'all not really Africans.
00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:36.569
Right.
00:13:36.889 --> 00:13:38.730
Y'all are indigenous people from this land.
00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:39.210
Right.
00:13:39.370 --> 00:13:46.569
It was not enough people to travel and bring all them years all the people from Africa to here.
00:13:46.730 --> 00:13:48.169
So y'all are indigenous people.
00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:48.889
I hate saying that.
00:13:48.970 --> 00:13:49.610
You know what I'm saying?
00:13:49.689 --> 00:13:50.330
I hate saying that.
00:13:50.409 --> 00:13:53.210
I I don't like saying African American.
00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:53.850
I really don't.
00:13:54.330 --> 00:13:55.929
That's the part that's the part that offends me.
00:13:56.009 --> 00:13:56.490
You know what I'm saying?
00:13:56.569 --> 00:13:59.689
That's the part that offends me calling people African American.
00:14:00.330 --> 00:14:02.970
African American, because you guys are not Africans.
00:14:03.049 --> 00:14:05.210
You guys were born here in America.
00:14:05.370 --> 00:14:10.569
We be needing people to enlighten us on information of things that we don't know.
00:14:11.049 --> 00:14:14.090
For, you know, life lesson learned experiences.
00:14:14.169 --> 00:14:14.970
You know what I'm saying?
00:14:15.049 --> 00:14:21.129
A lot of people within our people are scared to get on planes and trains and automobiles.
00:14:21.289 --> 00:14:23.610
So they don't know what it's like on the other side.
00:14:23.850 --> 00:14:30.649
That's why, like, even how I'm asking you the questions, I'm asking you from a point of view of a person that might not know.
00:14:30.809 --> 00:14:31.610
You know what I'm saying?
00:14:31.689 --> 00:14:35.850
That's that's very probably non-aware, you know what I'm saying?
00:14:36.250 --> 00:14:36.889
I feel it, yeah.
00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:49.289
Because, like, you understand what a day in a life in Jamaica is like, but we want to know from your point of view to the world, like, what is the what is a day in a life in Jamaica?
00:14:49.370 --> 00:14:50.330
Like, you know what I'm saying?
00:14:50.409 --> 00:14:59.850
Because we see it from a perspective as when we see it, they give it to us biblically clear, like, it ain't no money out there, it's only water.
00:15:00.009 --> 00:15:00.809
You know what I'm saying?
00:15:00.889 --> 00:15:03.129
The girls go get there, they're gonna get their ass rubbed.
00:15:03.210 --> 00:15:03.929
You know what I'm saying?
00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:07.610
But that but I I'm not gonna be out, I'm not gonna lie to you, brother.
00:15:07.689 --> 00:15:09.289
That is somewhat true.
00:15:09.610 --> 00:15:13.529
Because in Jamaica, there is a lot of poverty.
00:15:13.689 --> 00:15:14.569
You know what I'm saying?
00:15:14.809 --> 00:15:16.250
So it ain't no job.
00:15:16.490 --> 00:15:29.850
I I can I can tell you right now, growing up from the age of 1 to 11, I couldn't, the only people that I knew that had jobs was my dad and my uncle and my auntie.
00:15:30.009 --> 00:15:32.730
So the opportunities are really slim to none.
00:15:32.970 --> 00:15:34.490
Slim to none, yes.
00:15:34.809 --> 00:15:58.809
And see, I think that's where us as people here, we very privileged and I understand that we got very many different ways to pick up some type of social income in wherever it comes, but we don't utilize our resources, our just utilize our minds creative enough to just, as simple as, like you said, like most of the majority of people here that sell fruits, they're Hispanics.
00:15:59.049 --> 00:15:59.450
Exactly.
00:15:59.610 --> 00:16:00.330
You know what I'm saying?
00:16:00.409 --> 00:16:07.289
But this these are these are trades that, like you said, from your effinificity come from to where, nigga, that's normal.
00:16:07.529 --> 00:16:07.929
Yeah.
00:16:08.809 --> 00:16:09.929
It's literally normal, bro.
00:16:10.009 --> 00:16:11.129
Like selling fruits on the street.
00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:12.490
On the street is normal, bro.
00:16:12.649 --> 00:16:13.210
That's normal.
00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:14.649
But here, I did it.
00:16:14.809 --> 00:16:15.529
It's Hispanic.
00:16:15.689 --> 00:16:16.569
But you see what I'm saying?
00:16:16.649 --> 00:16:20.330
But some people probably too, like, why is this nigga out there?
00:16:20.490 --> 00:16:23.210
But they not understand you're a Jamaican.
00:16:23.769 --> 00:16:29.929
So we enter times and situations where we're quick to judge books by his cover without reading them.
00:16:30.169 --> 00:16:31.049
You feel me?
00:16:31.289 --> 00:16:35.289
Not knowing that your perspective of life is different than my perspective of life.
00:16:35.370 --> 00:16:35.529
Yeah.
00:16:35.689 --> 00:16:36.330
You know what I'm saying?
00:16:36.569 --> 00:16:36.809
True.
00:16:37.049 --> 00:16:38.409
But you look like me.
00:16:38.649 --> 00:16:39.289
Yeah.
00:16:39.529 --> 00:16:40.649
You see what I'm saying?
00:16:40.809 --> 00:16:46.250
So it's like that's where a lot of the fine lines of miscommunication throughout people happens.
00:16:46.330 --> 00:16:46.809
You feel me?
00:16:46.889 --> 00:16:50.409
No matter what race and not what abnificity we play a part in this life.
00:16:51.049 --> 00:16:57.129
But look though, I will say the difference for me though, I'm gonna tell you the difference between me and a lot of people.
00:16:57.450 --> 00:16:59.129
I understand, bruh.
00:16:59.929 --> 00:17:10.490
I don't know why, but I was blessed with the the know-how to understand or overstand certain situations from a young age.
00:17:10.970 --> 00:17:14.330
So I even knew, like, man, this ain't right.
00:17:14.890 --> 00:17:21.129
Like, you shouldn't judge a person selling their fruit on the street, right?
00:17:21.450 --> 00:17:28.650
And if you're able to do that, that means you're not a business person because at the end of the day, that's no taxes or you see what I'm saying?
00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:36.410
So they could be making, you could be going to say somebody go to work for making 200 a day.
00:17:36.809 --> 00:17:41.129
They're making 500 a day without taxes.
00:17:41.849 --> 00:17:42.650
See what I'm saying?
00:17:42.730 --> 00:17:52.410
So at the end of the day, they're making twice as much as you, but you you you're pointing the finger at them like, oh, look at these idiots selling the fruit on the street, but they're making 500 a day, you're making 250 or 200.
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:53.450
See what I'm saying?
00:17:53.609 --> 00:17:54.970
But that's without taxes.
00:17:55.129 --> 00:18:04.809
Because they go to the city and they get a license, say, hey, I want to sell for the day in this city, and they and they pay 500 for that day to sell in that city.
00:18:05.049 --> 00:18:08.650
There, them people on that corner, they have a license.
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:10.730
They're walking business.
00:18:10.890 --> 00:18:14.250
So we look at you look at them and be like, oh man, they're just hanging on the corner.
00:18:14.410 --> 00:18:17.930
If they were in the business, the cops can pull up and take all their stuff.
00:18:18.089 --> 00:18:20.329
Why aren't the police pulling up, taking all their stuff?
00:18:20.490 --> 00:18:22.089
Because they have a business license.
00:18:22.250 --> 00:18:34.650
So they that those people selling fruits on the corner, they have a business license and they're making$500 a day going to the city of saying Oakland, whoever, whatever, each city's different.
00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:36.490
San Francisco could be$600.
00:18:37.289 --> 00:18:40.410
San Jose could be$200 to sell on the corner, right?
00:18:40.490 --> 00:18:42.089
To be a merchant.
00:18:42.410 --> 00:18:50.890
But once you pay that license for the day, right, or for that week, bro, you're making$500 a day non-tax.
00:18:51.529 --> 00:18:52.490
See what I'm saying?
00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:53.450
So that's the thing.
00:18:53.529 --> 00:18:57.529
People have too much pride and they're looking at a person like, man, he's selling fruits.
00:18:57.609 --> 00:18:58.809
But no, that's a business.
00:18:58.890 --> 00:19:01.450
They don't look at it like, oh, that's a business.
00:19:01.609 --> 00:19:03.769
They're looking at he's selling fruits on the corner.
00:19:03.849 --> 00:19:05.450
He's selling shirts on the corner.
00:19:05.609 --> 00:19:06.329
That is lame.
00:19:06.490 --> 00:19:07.210
No, it's not.
00:19:07.369 --> 00:19:10.410
It's only lame because you don't know the hustle behind it.
00:19:10.569 --> 00:19:12.329
My granny did the same thing.
00:19:12.569 --> 00:19:17.609
My granny did the same thing and made hundreds of thousands of dollars, bro.
00:19:18.089 --> 00:19:18.730
The same thing.
00:19:18.890 --> 00:19:19.849
The same thing.
00:19:20.009 --> 00:19:23.369
Because the thing is, you do things that people don't want to do.
00:19:23.769 --> 00:19:27.369
If people want to, if when it's like rap, everybody wants to be a rapper.
00:19:27.450 --> 00:19:29.529
They were like, the rap industry is dead, yeah.
00:19:29.769 --> 00:19:30.970
Because guess what?
00:19:31.289 --> 00:19:33.930
There is one million people doing it.
00:19:34.809 --> 00:19:35.129
Right.
00:19:36.250 --> 00:19:37.849
How can you, you see what I'm saying?
00:19:38.089 --> 00:19:38.970
That's what the problem is.
00:19:39.129 --> 00:19:41.129
It's inflation in the market.
00:19:41.690 --> 00:19:46.569
If there was a if there was a million people selling fruits on the street, it would be the same thing.
00:19:46.730 --> 00:19:49.529
People would be like, ah man, we ain't making no money.
00:19:49.690 --> 00:19:51.049
Because it's inflation.
00:19:51.289 --> 00:19:53.450
So it's just about business.
00:19:53.769 --> 00:19:58.569
People look at certain businesses, and that's what I and it's not even black American.
00:19:58.730 --> 00:20:00.410
It's not white, black, Mexican.
00:20:00.569 --> 00:20:02.890
It's just the Western mentality.
00:20:03.049 --> 00:20:05.289
Hey, I see the guy out there selling fruits.
00:20:05.450 --> 00:20:06.329
I don't want to do that.
00:20:06.410 --> 00:20:07.210
That's lame.
00:20:07.450 --> 00:20:08.569
Am I right or wrong?
00:20:08.809 --> 00:20:09.609
Feel me?
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:14.089
I even look at it sometimes, like, man, this dude is lame.
00:20:14.250 --> 00:20:17.049
I'm starting to get that mindset, like, man, I will never do that.
00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:21.849
But then it's like, man, 13 years ago, I wouldn't even think like that.
00:20:22.089 --> 00:20:22.809
See what I'm saying?
00:20:22.970 --> 00:20:23.690
Yeah, the American ties.
00:20:24.089 --> 00:20:24.809
You see what I'm saying?
00:20:24.890 --> 00:20:25.930
That pride starts coming in.
00:20:26.009 --> 00:20:26.890
You see what I'm saying?
00:20:27.049 --> 00:20:30.170
And that's what I feel like when it comes to our community.
00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:37.210
We can't even do the basic things to enhance our community because it's like, man, people are gonna look down on us.
00:20:37.450 --> 00:20:42.890
And I feel like that's the reason why a lot of people don't want to do a lot of things in our community, even just in our community.
00:20:43.049 --> 00:20:49.769
Because I don't look at us like you're a black American, that guy from Brazil, he's a Brazil, a black, black and Brazilian.
00:20:50.089 --> 00:20:51.369
No, nigga, we all niggas.
00:20:51.769 --> 00:20:52.329
Because guess what?
00:20:52.490 --> 00:20:52.809
For sure.
00:20:52.970 --> 00:20:55.210
I'm gonna tell you right now, ask me this question.
00:20:55.450 --> 00:21:03.289
If right now I go outside and I see a white man, I punch him in the face, and I took off running, and somebody gives a description, what are they gonna say?
00:21:03.529 --> 00:21:04.490
A nigga or a black man.
00:21:04.730 --> 00:21:06.490
A black man just punched somebody in the face.
00:21:06.650 --> 00:21:11.129
It ain't they ain't gonna say, hey, a Jamaican guy in a red jacket just punched somebody in the face.
00:21:11.210 --> 00:21:12.089
Nah, they're not gonna say that.
00:21:12.170 --> 00:21:14.329
They're gonna say a black man, because we look the same.
00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:15.369
And that's the problem.
00:21:15.529 --> 00:21:17.049
We all separated, bruh.
00:21:17.129 --> 00:21:23.690
They separate us to religion, they separate us through gang, they separate us through teams, all this other stuff, bruh.
00:21:23.849 --> 00:21:24.730
But we're all the same.
00:21:24.890 --> 00:21:27.529
This is like a Caucasian, an Englishman.
00:21:27.690 --> 00:21:29.529
They're all white people, bruh.
00:21:29.769 --> 00:21:34.730
An African, a Britishman, who it don't matter if we look the same, we're all black.
00:21:34.809 --> 00:21:36.650
But they tell us that we're not the same.
00:21:36.809 --> 00:21:39.129
They tell us that we're not the same because guess what?
00:21:39.369 --> 00:21:41.690
Separation creates chaos.
00:21:41.849 --> 00:21:44.089
And they have to create chaos to control us.
00:21:44.250 --> 00:21:46.970
And if we're not in chaos, they can't control us, bruh.
00:21:47.450 --> 00:21:48.089
See what I'm saying?
00:21:48.329 --> 00:21:51.769
But as black people, you're I don't even look at you as black.
00:21:52.170 --> 00:21:53.129
You're not a black man.
00:21:53.210 --> 00:21:54.170
I'm not Jamaican.
00:21:54.650 --> 00:21:55.369
See what I'm saying?
00:21:55.609 --> 00:21:56.970
You from Ethiopia.
00:21:57.609 --> 00:22:01.769
Africano is a person that changed Ethiopia to Africa, Africa.
00:22:01.930 --> 00:22:02.650
See what I'm saying?
00:22:02.730 --> 00:22:04.089
Because his name is Africano.
00:22:04.329 --> 00:22:05.289
But we can go into that later.
00:22:05.369 --> 00:22:06.809
But I'm saying, you know what I'm saying?
00:22:06.890 --> 00:22:08.970
I look at it as a different way, bro.
00:22:09.129 --> 00:22:10.410
I don't look at colors.
00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:11.450
You know what I'm saying?
00:22:11.609 --> 00:22:12.650
Because we're all human beings.
00:22:12.730 --> 00:22:19.129
If some alien show up to Today and short bombing us, the person next to you gonna grab a gun and be like, let's get them.
00:22:19.450 --> 00:22:20.089
Right?
00:22:20.970 --> 00:22:24.170
They ain't gonna be like, oh, I'm a white guy, I can't give you a gun, black guy.
00:22:24.410 --> 00:22:25.129
Hell nah.
00:22:25.210 --> 00:22:27.049
They gonna hand you a gun, be like, let's fight.
00:22:27.129 --> 00:22:27.930
See what I'm saying?
00:22:28.089 --> 00:22:29.369
So we're gonna wait till that.
00:22:29.450 --> 00:22:32.569
I'm just saying, bro, all this stuff is separation.
00:22:32.730 --> 00:22:33.609
So, you feel me?
00:22:33.849 --> 00:22:37.690
That's why I don't I don't like the black the divide and conquer thing.
00:22:37.769 --> 00:22:38.170
You feel me?
00:22:38.730 --> 00:22:39.529
That's all they do, man.
00:22:39.609 --> 00:22:40.329
I don't I don't like that.
00:22:40.410 --> 00:22:40.809
You feel me?
00:22:40.890 --> 00:22:42.410
So I speak against it forever, man.
00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:44.650
It is what it is, you know what I'm saying?
00:22:44.890 --> 00:22:45.210
So.
00:22:45.609 --> 00:23:17.279
Man, so I heard that like you you had a like a tragic incident, you know what I'm saying?
00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:26.480
At that point in time, like, man, like, what was some of your obstacles, man, going through them experiences or, you know, that incident, bro?
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:40.400
Like, to be honest, man, um to go in depth into my injury, the type of things I experienced, like I said, right?
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.200
And go back to talking about being black in America and all this stuff, right?
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.360
So I was working in this company and predominantly white.
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.400
I was the first black person, that's what they called it, right?
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.600
They called me a token.
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:59.440
And the experience that I had was like, it was crazy, bro.
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.720
They were like go back to Africa, all type of shit, right?
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:26.559
But, right, and and this is this the thing that it's a dagger in my back, bro, is that the thing that made me I started recording then, the thing that made me pissed off, because I didn't understand it, the thing that pissed me off about you know, this whole culture is this.
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:31.200
The dude would tell me, like, hey, go back to Africa.
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.680
And, you know, me being Jamaican, I'm like, whatever, bro, like, what are you talking about?
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:41.519
But then let my brother walk past that's from America though, right?
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.680
And they would be like, hey, be quiet.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:53.920
Because they they feel like they know, and I don't, that they were in slavery.
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:55.039
You know what I'm saying?
00:24:55.360 --> 00:24:58.079
But then act like I didn't know, right?
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:01.920
I swear to God, I sued their ass.
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:02.960
For real.
00:25:03.360 --> 00:25:09.600
And I told them, hey, bro, this is the most coldest thing I've ever experienced, bro.
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:10.640
You know?
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.799
This is the coldest thing I've ever experienced.
00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:18.640
Because in front of other people, they were like, hey, what's up?
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.720
And then when they left, they felt like I was a part of them.
00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:25.440
And I had my camera on.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:28.000
I swear to God, bro, I had my camera on the whole time.
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:31.680
I'm like, bro, I don't feel what y'all saying is right.
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:33.519
This is trade of bullshit.
00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:35.039
And and this is what they do.
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:40.559
And I feel like this is what happens with this the the whole culture.
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.400
They feel like, and to answer your question from earlier, I'm going back to it.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.839
A lot of people.
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.880
No, let me not say a lot of people, I'm maybe direct.
00:25:54.240 --> 00:26:01.759
White America feels like foreigners that come here don't know the oppression of the people that's here.
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.680
Facts.
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:05.759
They think we don't know.
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:06.960
We do.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:09.120
No, I you know what?
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.360
I think they do know that y'all know.
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.720
They just don't want y'all to educate the people that don't know.
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:16.480
I think it's the reverse.
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.120
You feel me?
00:26:17.360 --> 00:26:19.039
You're right, because they were mad at me for saying that.
00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:20.480
It's an illusion, bro.
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:27.519
Like, we want to keep our people in smoke and mirrors because the the knowledge is power and power is wisdom.
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.960
So our people perish for the lack of knowledge.
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:47.519
So that's what makes frustration in the communication that we receive from people, because it's gonna be a pull and tug situation because we tuned to believe people that don't have the experience over the people that have the actual experience.
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.240
Yeah, man.
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:49.200
You know what I'm saying?
00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:54.880
So we we so far-fetched from what reality is because a lot of us really don't live in reality.
00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:56.160
Yeah, man.
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:57.839
I feel that, bro.
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:07.039
And that's what you know, I and I'm very blunt, so I would tell people straight up, man, I don't care about public opinion.
00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:07.759
You know what I'm saying?
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.519
I I'm gonna I'm gonna say straight up, if you like me or not, I'm gonna say it.
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:22.799
But yeah, man, uh, my injury was it basically led me right here, man, to where I focused on my music for three years.
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.319
Because I was injured for three years.
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.120
You know what I'm saying?
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:30.319
My foot, I ended up getting hit in the leg with a big cable, breaking my leg in two pieces.
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:32.240
So my leg was like in two pieces.
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.360
And they had to do a surgery to put it back together.
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:46.640
And while I'm on doing this, that's when the shit started happening to where they're like, you know, all you niggas is lazy.
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.839
All you niggas don't.
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.680
I'm like, what?
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.279
You know what I'm saying?
00:27:51.519 --> 00:28:09.120
But I just figured out that they were trying to basically fire me, leading me up to fire me, but they messed up because they basically said I was sexual harassing someone that I wouldn't that w I definitely didn't.
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.559
And I won my case easily, because they have cameras everywhere.
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:20.799
But they just fired me because and I said it straight up and down, like, because I was you you you consider me like, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:24.319
An idiot.
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.200
You know what I'm saying?
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.120
They try to say I'm an idiot, bro.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.600
And I I I I had everything documented from point A to B, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.880
Because it was that easy.
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.440
It was no A to Z.
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.319
It was A to B.
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.920
That was quick of a transmission.
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.720
And I won my case and I and I I quit.
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:45.279
But and that's how I end up here, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:51.279
Because I feel like you can work all day, you know, and this this camera, this is the camera I'm talking to right here.
00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:54.880
Look, and this is what I want to tell people.
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.200
You can work all day.
00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:59.440
I had the keys.
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.240
I had every key to every door.
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.120
Every key to every door.
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:09.600
I open the shop, close the shop.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.200
Monday to Sunday.
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.640
Open the shop, close the shop.
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:22.640
I watched supervisor come in, supervisor and managers leave, and I close.
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:25.600
That shit don't matter.
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:36.720
It doesn't matter how hard you work, it doesn't matter how high you jump, it's about who you know.
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.600
And if you white, you get your further.
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.440
Facts.
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:42.880
Just like that.
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.960
That's how I won my case.
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.480
They told me I wasn't good enough.
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:56.559
I trained my supervisor and manager, and they still was getting trained by me when I left.
00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:59.600
That's what happened being black.
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:06.240
And I say black just to resonate with the the stereotype of being black, right?
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.120
Because like, we're not black.
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:10.559
We are not black.
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:16.079
If you need if you're from America to Africa, you're not black.
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.079
Black is this.
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:20.880
We're not black.
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.880
Remember that, we're not black.
00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:24.000
For sure not.
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:28.640
That is what they put on us, but we're not black.
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.759
The stigma.
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:31.680
It's a man, stigma.
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:33.120
We're not black.
00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:33.680
So.
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:39.279
And and w we should never be treated as a color.
00:30:39.600 --> 00:30:44.880
So, during the time of your downtime, way fucked up, laying in the bed and shit, experiences.
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.039
Mine probably going half crazy.
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.480
Crazy, bruh.
00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:53.920
You picked up a craft and shit, so you start doing production and shit.
00:30:54.079 --> 00:31:00.400
So you work with people like Slimmy B, EBK J, I mean EBK Jock, what, Big Sad?
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:01.440
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:05.440
Butter Butter, all types of people, you know.
00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:12.319
How did you get so focused in and your connection in to make all of this shit happen within that?
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:18.319
Like, because like you said, you was losing it, but you also gained a new power at the same time.
00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:22.559
Well, you know, my foot don't work, but my hands do.
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:24.480
So I I put the keys.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:27.600
So I've been known Gutta Butter.
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:30.000
Shout out to Money Gutta Butter.
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.480
You feel me?
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.400
I've been I've been known Gutta Butter since what, 2011.
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.600
I met him at my manager's house, which is Jesse Lee.
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.559
Shout out to Jesse Lee.
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:40.720
Jesse Lee, There's Nation.
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.519
You feel me?
00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:43.519
That was my manager at the time.
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.759
And I was rocking with Kelo, so um that's how I met them.
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:48.480
You know what I'm saying?
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.160
And the crest in the crest.
00:31:52.160 --> 00:32:02.240
Yeah, man, the focus was to really just hone in on my product production skills a little bit more because I can't record too much, right?
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.000
So I was just sitting there with a, I had an external fixator.
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.200
I don't know if you know what that is.
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.519
So I had they it was screwed into my foot.
00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:11.600
So I had a big ass fucking thing like this.
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:13.200
I was making beats like this.
00:32:13.600 --> 00:32:14.319
You feel me?
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:15.839
I swear to swear, bro.
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:16.880
You feel me?
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:19.680
And yeah, and that's how them records came about.
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:25.279
Like Slim Me B record with uh Draft Day, I remade Dre Beat.
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:26.400
That's how that came about.
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:30.720
I was literally on the I was sitting in my room, I missed playing the beat.
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.360
You feel me?
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:31.920
Literally.
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:41.360
This my new project right now called News, I record half the project laying in my bed with a pillow behind my head with my foot elevated, just like some kind of way shit.
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:41.839
You feel me?
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:43.279
Just holding the mic.
00:32:43.600 --> 00:32:48.640
So that's what this injury really pushed me into production.
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:54.720
Like I'm I can't say 100, 80% into production right now.
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.839
And 20% as an artist.
00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:58.480
You feel me?
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:04.960
I really just rap to push my production, really, honestly, to be honest.
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:06.079
You know what I'm saying?
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:10.640
Because I'm really a producer or a songwriter per se.
00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:12.640
So that's crazy, right?
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.440
When you say producer and songwriter, right?
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:23.440
Do you really make these motherfuckers from scratch?
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:27.039
Or do you it depends?
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.079
So I have I do it all.
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:39.039
So I can say, I can make my beat from scratch from a I can put a quack and make my beat from scratch.
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:52.000
I can use a sample, like the old school when hip-hop started, I can use the uh that, I can use a loop and use one loop and play something, play the same keys around it, and I can I do it all.
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:52.880
Everything.
00:33:53.120 --> 00:33:55.600
So everything you can think about music, I do it all.
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:00.640
I can make a loop, I take the loop, I can take the same loop, make a whole beat.
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.519
I can take, I can start from scratch with a I can start with a clap and make a whole beat.
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:10.880
You can hum something, I can take the hum that you use, put it on the beat and make a beat around your hum.
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:12.960
I can do anything that gotta do with music.
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:16.319
So from what I remember earlier in the conversation, right?
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:18.639
You said your daddy was a DJ, right?
00:34:18.799 --> 00:34:19.679
Yes, sir.
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:29.839
So did you pick up some of these traits from him as in the pianolist, or you learned this throughout the time he was injured?
00:34:30.319 --> 00:34:36.800
I learned this before I was injured, so man, this is about to go into some shit.
00:34:37.120 --> 00:34:39.440
So I learned the piano.
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.520
When it comes to my dad, I really learned how to make speakers with my dad.
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:52.400
So when I say learn to make speakers, like what you would need to put as far as to make it hit.
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:56.080
Like, say you want to make your speaker hit, you gotta put a bigger magnet for the bass.
00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:58.800
So magnets, the bigger the magnets, the bigger the bass.
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:01.440
The lesser the magnets, the more of a tweeter, right?
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:03.280
It's less of a bass.
00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:05.040
So I learned that from my dad.
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:06.960
You know what I'm saying, from an early age.
00:35:07.120 --> 00:35:12.080
But as far as playing the piano, I picked it up on my own, right, learning.
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:28.560
But the the where I really was blown away, and I can say this for the first time, you know what I'm saying, on some real shit, it was the first time I heard somebody really play some shit, and I was like, damn, was Reese Beats.
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:41.040
So Reese Beats, he used to come through and he used to have 88 keys at the time at my partner bossed the most real so big studio.
00:35:41.200 --> 00:35:42.160
Was it a Triton?
00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:44.000
Uh yeah, it had a big Triton.
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:45.920
But I was using Reasons.
00:35:46.560 --> 00:35:53.200
So I was showing him to go from the Triton to Reasons.
00:35:53.520 --> 00:35:54.240
You know what I'm saying?
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:57.760
How to use Reasons and use the same sounds as on the Triton and Reasons.
00:35:58.080 --> 00:36:04.560
So, and and in that all that retrospect, I got to see how real chords get played.
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:13.200
I'm not gonna lie, I can say 100% respect to Reese, because that that's the first person, the first person I seen play real chords.
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:14.000
You know what I'm saying?
00:36:14.080 --> 00:36:15.760
I was like, damn, this is hella hard.
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:23.360
But I was also the person that showed him how to do the technical stuff like on reasons, because he never used reasons.
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.400
So he used to make beats on the idiot keys, and he got a recording two pro tools, all type of shit.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.200
And I was like, nah, that's too much shit, bro.
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:36.080
Just use reasons, and then from there, you know what I'm saying?
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:37.120
Real shit.
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:38.400
So, yeah, man.
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.600
I I've I've helped a lot of people, and they helped me too.
00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:43.840
Same with uh June on the beat.
00:36:44.160 --> 00:36:45.200
So yeah.
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:51.600
So, like you said, you got more of a connection into this shit than a lot of us may know.
00:36:51.920 --> 00:37:06.960
You like, you like uh it's crazy that I'm got I got two secret society guests in the music industry today that be playing a domino effect on a lot of shit with production, but you might not know because a lot of times we can't put the face with the Yeah, exactly.
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:07.520
You know what I'm saying?
00:37:07.600 --> 00:37:11.920
I was a person in the background that I don't speak, don't say nothing.
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:13.440
I I be chilling, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:13.600 --> 00:37:15.120
Because I I really don't like the limelight.
00:37:15.200 --> 00:37:16.640
I'm really an introvert, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:16.720 --> 00:37:17.760
I really don't like the limelight.
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:19.200
I'm not that type of guy.
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:25.600
I I mean I love being creative, but I'm not the type of person to jump in the front and be like, yo, what saying, you feel me?
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:26.880
Because I'm not really that guy.
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:29.200
I'm real serious about my craft, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:31.120
And I I never put two and two together.
00:37:31.200 --> 00:37:35.120
It's like, man, you gotta have people gotta know who you are, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:36.720
And that's been my problem.
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.240
Because I I'm telling you, I've been everywhere.
00:37:40.560 --> 00:37:44.240
Been on tour, man, you will you pfft, man.
00:37:44.640 --> 00:37:50.240
But I was that person in the background that was more so helping everybody else, really though.
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.480
Tried to help everybody else, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:52.640 --> 00:37:54.160
But I was really that guy.
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:59.040
But I never wanted to be, to be, to be frank, bro, to be honest, bro.
00:37:59.120 --> 00:38:03.520
I I grew up in I grew up in a place where I'm religious, so I never wanted to be worshipped.
00:38:03.680 --> 00:38:04.240
You feel me?
00:38:04.720 --> 00:38:06.400
I'm gonna be keeping real like that, bro.
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:07.680
My wife knows.
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:09.920
I never want to be the nigga that be worshiped.
00:38:10.080 --> 00:38:16.640
I think that's the reason why I never want to be famous, because I don't want to replace in people's hearts where God is.
00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:17.920
Facts.
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.200
You know what I'm saying?
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:20.080
Real shit.
00:38:20.160 --> 00:38:21.920
I never that's why I never wanted to be famous.
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:22.640
You feel me?
00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:30.080
Because I I don't want to talk to God and God be like, yo, so-and-so, that so-and-so said they loved you more than me, bro.
00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:31.520
You feel me?
00:38:31.680 --> 00:38:33.120
I'll be feeling bad, bro.
00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:33.760
Like, what?
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:34.640
Are you kidding me?
00:38:34.720 --> 00:38:35.360
Hell no.
00:38:35.600 --> 00:38:36.000
Feel me?
00:38:36.080 --> 00:38:36.720
Hell no.
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.280
Right.
00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:46.160
So that that's that's one of my, I would say that was one of my biggest reasons for not signing two contracts that got offered to me.
00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:46.880
You feel me?
00:38:47.040 --> 00:38:48.640
Lucrative contracts.
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:53.920
And I was like, man, it was just God telling me, like, bro, you know what I'm saying?
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.480
I just didn't never want to be the type of person to be worshipped, bro.
00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:57.440
I don't want to be worshiped.
00:38:57.520 --> 00:38:58.000
You feel me?
00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:05.200
I would want people to love me and walk up to me and be like, man, I love your music, but I don't want people to fall out and be like, oh my God, I love you so much, wanting everything in the world.
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:06.000
I don't want that.
00:39:06.080 --> 00:39:06.720
You feel me?
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:08.800
I just want genuine reactions, you feel me?
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:10.400
I don't want people to worship me.
00:39:10.560 --> 00:39:11.920
And that's not my goal in life.
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.480
You feel me?
00:39:12.560 --> 00:39:14.160
And that's kind of what hindered me.
00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:20.560
Out of everything in the world, I think that's what hinders me, or hindered me the most to be successful, bro.
00:39:20.640 --> 00:39:22.320
I swear to God, out of anything.
00:39:22.640 --> 00:39:25.760
So, as a producer, right?
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:28.160
I want to know your honest opinion with this.
00:39:29.120 --> 00:39:32.000
How do you feel about the state of hip hop in the Bay Area?
00:39:32.240 --> 00:39:35.280
I feel like uh people can switch it up, bro.
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:36.480
That's what my project is.
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.000
My project is about, literally what my project is about.
00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:42.000
My project is called news.
00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:45.920
North, East, West, South.
00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:47.600
And that ain't America.
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:49.280
That's the world.
00:39:49.600 --> 00:39:59.920
I want people in North America, East America, West America, I mean, West of the world, south of the world, to hear this music, bruh.
00:40:00.080 --> 00:40:05.040
I don't have no type of genre Pacific on my project.
00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:07.520
It's just music from everywhere.
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:08.960
And I can say that.
00:40:09.120 --> 00:40:14.400
And uh, and the crazy part of why I can say that is I can say I'm a mutt.
00:40:15.600 --> 00:40:26.160
And Irish, Indian, black, and what else nationality because I think the only thing I'm not is Asian.
00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:27.200
You know what I'm saying?
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:37.280
My great-grandfather is a uh red-headed white man, my grandmother is half Indian, my grandfather is black as shit, right?
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.920
I'm just saying, bro, I'm mixed all around the world.
00:40:40.080 --> 00:40:47.120
So when it comes to this music, bro, I feel like I can touch on all aspects of music.
00:40:47.200 --> 00:40:48.960
Because I'm mixed with all of it, right?
00:40:49.040 --> 00:40:51.520
I can touch on all aspects of music.
00:40:51.840 --> 00:41:00.560
So the stated music needs to go back to where it's more not so one thing.
00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:01.360
Like right now.
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:02.800
You feel me?
00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:04.560
It's too much of a one thing.
00:41:04.720 --> 00:41:09.280
Like everybody's like, man, bro, everybody got a button.
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:12.560
Everybody got a foldy.
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:23.680
Everybody, but man, where the women, where the life stories, where, you know, cryptic messages.
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:27.760
What happened to everything else that has to do with music?
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.000
Music is just nothing about violence, bruh.
00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:34.080
Music has so many other things you can talk about.
00:41:34.160 --> 00:41:39.440
So I feel like the state of music is just too personified by violence.
00:41:39.680 --> 00:41:42.320
Yeah, it's not it don't have no soulfulness to it no more.
00:41:42.640 --> 00:41:43.120
No soul.
00:41:44.080 --> 00:41:54.640
You know, a lot of people don't understand how how easy it is today.
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.280
And it's, you know, it's it's a tricky thing, bro.
00:41:59.520 --> 00:42:06.320
Like it sabotaged in so many different ways.
00:42:07.600 --> 00:42:13.520
You know, and it's it I used to be an artist, bro, and I used to love that shit, bro.
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:19.920
But it's like due time, like you said, bro, the organic side of people just can do music, it's not there.
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.760
Everybody wanna judge your your value of being in front of the streets.
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.840
Like, when I was in the streets, bro, I didn't rap about being in the streets.
00:42:28.080 --> 00:42:28.320
Man.
00:42:28.720 --> 00:42:29.760
You feel me?
00:42:30.080 --> 00:42:35.360
But today's value is like tell on me, tell on you, tell on everybody.
00:42:35.520 --> 00:42:37.280
And we gangsters, you feel me?
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:45.920
And it it have the wrong interpretation because we started doing as in what others do in other regions and other cultures to where we forgot about us.
00:42:46.560 --> 00:42:47.600
You know what I'm saying?
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:54.080
And the unique factor that we lost was just being organic, bro.
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:57.680
Man, people don't, people we don't understand that no more.
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:13.200
We was the originators, like we we was the creators, the innovators, and it's like now we we just follow suit to what everybody else is on the popularity thing when they come and get the season salt from us to put it on their food, but then we don't like it, it tastes on our own food.
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:15.440
And I say that to say this, right?
00:43:17.520 --> 00:43:22.160
We'll give another motherfucker the pass and the plus that do a hyphy song, right?
00:43:22.240 --> 00:43:23.840
We be juiced about it, right?
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:27.440
But when we do it, our own people, our people look at it like it's boosie.
00:43:27.600 --> 00:43:27.840
Yeah.
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:37.120
So it's like we have a lot of confusion within itself of knowing what works, what don't work, and how it should work, bro.
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:38.560
And it's fucked up, bro.
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:40.080
But I understand it though.
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:41.920
I'm gonna be honest, I understand it.
00:43:42.160 --> 00:43:43.760
You know why people do that?
00:43:44.080 --> 00:43:46.000
It's because it's old to them.
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:48.320
Cause you gotta understand, right?
00:43:48.560 --> 00:43:51.200
It's like Bob Marley for Jamaica.
00:43:51.520 --> 00:43:55.440
For us, they don't celebrate Bob Marley in Jamaica, but everywhere else they do.
00:43:55.600 --> 00:43:56.640
Because guess what?
00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:01.280
It's not owed to y'all at the time when it came out, but it's old to us.
00:44:01.600 --> 00:44:06.000
It's old to y'all, the hyphy, y'all done did it for 10 years.
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:09.200
Now, 10 years ago, hyphy.
00:44:09.680 --> 00:44:14.640
Now, if somebody doing hyphy in Atlanta, they're gonna celebrate it because guess what?
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:16.560
They're not doing hyphen in the bay right now.
00:44:16.640 --> 00:44:18.720
It's more mob and killing, right?
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:23.760
But outside the bay, you're gonna say, oh man, we love it because they they're they're copying us.
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:24.720
You know what I'm saying?
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:27.920
But if if somebody from the Bay do it, they're gonna be like, You corny as hell, bro.
00:44:28.080 --> 00:44:29.200
You know we ain't on that.
00:44:29.680 --> 00:44:30.160
Right?
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:36.480
So, and that's where it gets misconstrued because it's like, and I comment on this a lot of times, bro, and and I was here.
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:38.160
Before the hyphy, bro.
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:42.000
And I can say that's the culture.
00:44:42.160 --> 00:44:46.160
Like, people go away from people, people sell their culture.
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:54.880
I wouldn't even say give away their culture or give the co-sign to other people to use their culture when they're not doing it no more.
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:57.600
Because it's not popping out here no more like that, right?
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.480
But everywhere else, they're like, dang, that shit lit.
00:45:00.560 --> 00:45:03.520
And they want to come in to see it, but nobody's doing it here.
00:45:03.680 --> 00:45:05.920
Like when Kendrick Lamar did it, right?
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:10.640
Everybody outside of LA loved it.
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:13.360
But in the Bay, people like, man, what is this, bro?
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:14.160
Like, what's going on?
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.120
We sabotage our own self, bruh.
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:23.120
And it's it's fucked up because we have some of the biggest and creative people that come from here.
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:26.080
Artists, unique, all types of shit, bruh.
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:30.480
But we have conversations amongst people that say it ain't no stars here, bro.
00:45:30.720 --> 00:45:31.440
They sell a stars.
00:45:31.680 --> 00:45:35.680
And that put a bad taste in people's mouths to where they can come take.
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:42.080
And it's like taking so much is breaking a lot of people.
00:45:42.160 --> 00:45:42.880
You know what I'm saying?
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.440
It have made a lot of us broken, bro.
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.560
And it's like motherfuckers is trying to find out how do we get back into that happiness.
00:45:50.720 --> 00:45:54.080
And that's why I love the fact that Fab do break down their life, bro.
00:45:54.160 --> 00:45:56.080
Y'all don't like, y'all don't like the time when we did that?
00:45:56.240 --> 00:45:58.160
That was some of the best times of our lives where people were.
00:45:58.480 --> 00:45:58.960
I love Fab.
00:45:59.040 --> 00:46:00.960
Fab is really niggas was really happy.
00:46:01.040 --> 00:46:01.840
That shit felt cool.
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.760
Like, nigga, we go to the show like 60 deep, nigga, and motherfuckers have hella fun.
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:14.160
And nigga, you got 30 of your tightest rappers on stage with each other and everybody performing at night, and niggas don't mind sharing their stage presence with the next person.
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:14.960
You feel me?
00:46:15.120 --> 00:46:29.040
But it's like now so much shit done sinkle down from the domino effect of people of my generation didn't show the ore to the next generation the right way.
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:38.720
So it's like when people came in, we kind of showed people how to divide and conquer instead of the way people told us how to stick together.
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:39.440
You feel me?
00:46:39.600 --> 00:46:40.320
True.
00:46:40.640 --> 00:46:49.440
And it fucked up, bro, to just see that shit trickle down because now me as being the elder in this shit, it hurt, bro.
00:46:50.080 --> 00:46:51.200
You know what I'm saying?
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:58.480
It like, it put a sour taste in the nigga's mouth, bro, because sometimes you don't know how good it is until it's gone, bro.
00:46:58.960 --> 00:46:59.520
Yeah.
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:01.520
But it ain't all the way gone though.
00:47:01.680 --> 00:47:03.360
Nah, it's not, it's not gone.
00:47:03.520 --> 00:47:05.840
But when I say it's gone, it's the culture, bro.
00:47:06.160 --> 00:47:08.480
The culture, it's been sold though.
00:47:09.680 --> 00:47:13.200
When I say the culture, like just being an Oakland native, right?
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.080
I'm in a town every day, bro.
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.440
We always want it better for our culture.
00:47:23.520 --> 00:47:31.600
I'm not gonna never not say that, because that's the best thing that we ever can do, bro, is make it better for these kids to be able to play, right?
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:32.880
But in the same sense, kids.
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:33.680
Let me say this.
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:35.680
And Oakland is the base culture.
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:36.400
For sure.
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:43.920
It's the homemaker, and that's what's fucked up, bruh, because I feel that we not on as a whole because Oakland is not on, bruh.
00:47:44.080 --> 00:47:44.400
Yeah.
00:47:44.560 --> 00:47:47.040
Like if Oakland was on, right?
00:47:48.160 --> 00:48:06.720
I feel like the world would be more acceptance to what hyphy is, what the mob is, what the culture of acceptance to what is is because it can be vividly clear broke out, because hyphy, bro, was just a derogatory word that you express and explain about a nigga that was with the shit.
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:07.520
Oh yeah, I know.
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:08.800
I know it.
00:48:09.040 --> 00:48:11.920
Get off a pill, he might come over this motherfucker, shoot it up.
00:48:12.080 --> 00:48:19.040
He might come through here dancing, shaking his dreads, making his pants fall to the ground, or he might just come through this motherfucker dipping and yoke it.
00:48:19.200 --> 00:48:19.600
You feel me?
00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:20.320
We don't know.
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:32.160
So it was like once certain record labels of the majors made it to a certain thing, it made it to a movement when it was a lifestyle.
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:33.120
You know what I'm saying?
00:48:33.200 --> 00:48:38.400
So it's like a lifestyle and a movement made a friction of the communication sour.
00:48:38.560 --> 00:48:39.920
You know what I'm saying?
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:48.160
And the kids, as they start seeing it, they didn't understand, but they were created from this shit.
00:48:48.240 --> 00:48:52.000
A lot of these kids is pill babies, and you know what I'm saying?
00:48:52.240 --> 00:48:57.760
That's why they have a lot of the shit that they got in them, the way how they act, bro.
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:05.200
And people don't take heed to it because people gotta remember the Triple TVs came around our time, the motherfucker Hood the Hoods came out around our time.
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:08.640
That's all age demographic of me and us, you feel me?
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:14.720
So it's like thinking about the sabotage of poison that we put out for them to pick up.
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:18.800
We was taking them to the black parties, we was taking them to the candlelights.
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:24.240
So it's kind of like you we signed a check that we really weren't ready to cash.
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:25.840
And now Without even knowing that.
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:26.720
Without even knowing.
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:33.120
Now we are our parents, and our parents are our grandparents, and our great-grandparents are not here no more.
00:49:33.200 --> 00:49:34.000
You see what I'm saying?
00:49:34.160 --> 00:49:36.400
So it's like, and our kids are us.
00:49:36.640 --> 00:49:43.520
So it's like the shit that our parents used to tell us, we thought we looked at it like, yeah, well, you got a boosie.
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:45.760
Now that shit is reversing on us.
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:47.280
Well, our children is doing that to us.
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:48.480
Now we the boosty people.
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:49.200
You feel me?
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:51.360
And they the feel like they the saucy people.
00:49:51.600 --> 00:49:54.480
So it's like history repeats itself in different forms.
00:49:54.640 --> 00:49:57.120
But it's like, how do we correct history?
00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:58.320
You know what I'm saying?
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:06.720
The fucked up part is like where you come from, you inherit structure, right?
00:50:07.040 --> 00:50:08.800
So Well, it depends.
00:50:09.040 --> 00:50:13.680
Because look, I experience the same thing too, though, because I grew up with my grandparents.
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:18.080
So I'm no, so I'm just saying, as in your traditional place, right?
00:50:18.560 --> 00:50:22.800
If your daddy sold fruits and vegetables, you're gonna follow suit, right?
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:24.640
Oh yeah, for sure, yeah.
00:50:25.520 --> 00:50:28.400
That's not the that's not the code and guidelines of how we live.
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:29.600
We break the code.
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:34.240
So like, like when we was talking about earlier outside, right?
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:38.080
This the fucked up part about our people, right?
00:50:41.600 --> 00:50:52.480
This shit, this shit, this is this this shit right here get a little deep because it's like it's fucked up, bro.
00:50:54.480 --> 00:51:03.200
Like we really don't understand, bruh.
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:09.200
What it takes to be successful, bruh.
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:13.760
Because we think successful is glitter and gold, bruh.
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:14.720
You feel me?
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:20.320
People who are successful, bruh, it doesn't look like how they look.
00:51:21.040 --> 00:51:21.520
True.
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:22.640
You know what I'm saying?
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:25.440
Touche, I'm gonna tell you this.
00:51:25.680 --> 00:51:36.480
When I had a job, I I met a guy that you wouldn't even think that pulled up in a Prius.
00:51:37.600 --> 00:51:38.000
Right?
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:39.360
You wouldn't even think.
00:51:40.080 --> 00:51:45.520
You wouldn't even think that can write a one billion dollar check.
00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:46.640
Oh, for sure.
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:52.240
He looked me in my face and he told me, Hey, I like your style, man.
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:53.680
You're a good guy.
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:56.240
But you don't even know who I am.
00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:00.400
He's he's he's a Russian guy, he's got a real he sound like Ardenon Scholzenager.
00:52:01.520 --> 00:52:03.040
And he showed me his account.
00:52:03.200 --> 00:52:07.680
He said, I can write you a check for right now for one billion dollars.
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.440
And I seen his account, and it's more than one billion, right?
00:52:11.680 --> 00:52:13.360
But I was like, damn.
00:52:14.240 --> 00:52:15.280
You know what I'm saying?
00:52:15.520 --> 00:52:33.200
So, judging the person by how they you see him, I'm telling you right now, if you you you we'll probably walk past this dude outside right now, going, he's probably going to uh the donut shop, looking like a regular guy, and got$30 billion, bro.
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:33.840
For sure.
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:36.320
It happened daily, especially in the Bay Area.
00:52:36.640 --> 00:52:38.400
It's Silicon Valley.
00:52:38.640 --> 00:52:41.440
This was this was fucked up too, bro.
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:46.960
The music industry, we only act like it's one bag out here, right?
00:52:47.040 --> 00:52:52.240
And we go crazy and disrespect each other about this one bag that's an illusion, that it's multiple, right?
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:52.800
Yeah.
00:52:53.120 --> 00:52:55.680
This to prove that it's multiple bags, right?
00:52:56.080 --> 00:52:57.200
Clear as day.
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:06.480
YouTube's here, Apple's here, Spotify's here, X is here, Instagram is here.
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:11.600
Why the fuck is we getting into it like it's only one bag here, bro?
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:20.480
This is this is like do Chevron tell Exxon or NPM that they can't be across the street from them?
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:27.600
No, nigga, they put up the same price and it might be two cents less or two cents more, nigga, and they don't stop none of the program, bro.
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:33.760
So why do we do this to our own people to where we we stop each other's program, bruh?
00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:35.760
You feel me?
00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:37.760
And it's fucked up, bro.
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:39.760
I I just be seeing this shit, bro.
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:45.120
It's like, damn, okay, it's a liquor store right here, the liquor store right here, but these niggas ain't telling these niggas they gotta close or these niggas.
00:53:47.520 --> 00:53:50.880
But we would do some of the suckest shit though, bruh.
00:53:51.680 --> 00:53:55.440
To each other that hinders each other's growth, bruh.
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:56.560
Facts.
00:53:57.040 --> 00:54:01.360
Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you, as far as when you say hinder growth, right?
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:12.640
And this is the only time I would say the only re the only time Jamaica is, I would say a better place for an artist, right?
00:54:13.600 --> 00:54:20.240
Is I remember when I was 13, bro, and watching this, they have a festival every year.
00:54:20.560 --> 00:54:22.320
No, actually no, I was 10.
00:54:22.560 --> 00:54:23.760
No, I could be nine.
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:28.480
But I was watching this festival, and anybody can enter the festival in Jamaica.
00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:31.840
This is a dope thing I would say about Jamaica, right?
00:54:32.160 --> 00:54:33.840
There's no age limit.
00:54:34.240 --> 00:54:39.120
The dude was like 50 years old with the number one song in the country.
00:54:40.160 --> 00:54:49.440
The number one song, first artist, the number one song in the country, he was 50 plus years old, missing a bunch of his teeth on the right side.
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:52.960
I promise you, the number one song for three years.
00:54:53.760 --> 00:55:05.760
That's what I feel like, because I feel like when it comes to music, maturity, when I grew up, Jay-Z was 38 when I was fucking, what, 14, 15, right?
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:12.400
So at the end of the day, it's like you don't learn nothing from someone that's 20.
00:55:12.560 --> 00:55:15.120
All they're gonna talk about is some dumb shit, right?
00:55:15.520 --> 00:55:16.160
Per se.
00:55:16.560 --> 00:55:25.280
But I feel like as far as when it comes to this stuff, man, age, they should let more older people in.
00:55:25.680 --> 00:55:30.560
I feel like it should go, not let not let them in, go back to that.
00:55:31.200 --> 00:55:33.360
Go back to the maturity.
00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:35.280
You gotta be 25 enough to rap.
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:37.360
You gotta be, you know what I'm saying?
00:55:37.600 --> 00:55:48.960
Because you don't develop as a man, as a woman, as a far as like a thought process-wise and scientifically proofing until you're 25.
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:53.920
You make solid decisions after 25.
00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:59.280
So I feel like rap should be back to how it used to be.
00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:00.160
You know what I'm saying?
00:56:00.240 --> 00:56:09.920
Because when people used to rap, that's why if you're people that's older, they have a better mentality because you think the entertainment they had was more like educational.
00:56:10.080 --> 00:56:10.720
You know what I'm saying?
00:56:11.040 --> 00:56:14.400
You can hear, you can listen to it, or for the record, that tells some shit, bruh.
00:56:14.560 --> 00:56:16.000
You make any one of them, right?
00:56:16.080 --> 00:56:20.400
That tells you some real stuff that's going on right now, because it's never changing.
00:56:20.560 --> 00:56:22.720
It's like, what's that movie called, Will Michael B.
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:28.960
Jordan, where they had the club and it kept changing from year to year to year, and they showing it outside, the club never changes, bro.
00:56:29.120 --> 00:56:30.000
Just the people change.
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:33.840
This the situation never changes, the people change, rap never changes, the people change, right?
00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:36.560
It could be another conscious rapper, there's gonna be another comment.
00:56:37.040 --> 00:56:38.560
It never changes, it never changes.
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:40.800
Well, you know what changes is the personalities.
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:41.520
That's it.
00:56:41.680 --> 00:56:42.480
You know what I'm saying?
00:56:42.640 --> 00:56:44.240
So, you know what I mean?
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:47.440
I feel like history repeats itself just in different forms.
00:56:47.600 --> 00:56:48.240
You know what I'm saying?
00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:55.120
As far as us, I feel like they should just let it go back to the old way, been before Jermaine Dupree came in and brought in all the kids.
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:56.320
Tell me.
00:56:57.200 --> 00:56:58.800
I mean, that's from music was fun.
00:56:58.960 --> 00:56:59.520
You know what I'm saying?
00:56:59.600 --> 00:57:04.560
That's when we used to grab the CDs and look up in there and see who was the producer and who got on the phone.
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:06.320
That's when it was love, though.
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:07.120
You know what I'm saying?
00:57:07.200 --> 00:57:10.240
And it was cool to be creative and unique.
00:57:10.640 --> 00:57:22.240
It's not in certain pedigrees, it's it's still tight and mugs if you're around certain circles, but like certain shit is not cool.
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:33.440
Just like I was, you know, what you saying, you being a writer, like a lot of people out here, unless you're in that industry circle, don't want a nigga writing for them.
00:57:33.600 --> 00:57:37.520
Because everybody wants to take credit for self because they don't understand business.
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:42.800
They don't take well, they don't want you to take uh credit out loud.
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:45.120
Not even just out loud.
00:57:45.200 --> 00:57:46.480
They don't understand business.
00:57:46.560 --> 00:57:52.240
In the music industry, it's multiple people that got their hands into this record, into this project.
00:57:52.720 --> 00:57:53.520
Oh, yeah, don't you mean?
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:54.160
You feel me?
00:57:54.240 --> 00:58:01.120
So it's like here we like, that nigga ain't ghostwriting for me, nigga.
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:04.640
Nigga, I don't nobody writing shit for me.
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:07.040
Oh, this beat, nigga, I'll pay for this beat.
00:58:07.120 --> 00:58:09.840
Nigga, he ain't getting no credit or no production on my shit.
00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:11.840
Nigga, I'm nigga, I'm taking all rights.
00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:14.000
Nigga, I'm claiming everything.
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:17.680
But this this is the this is the the false information.
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:26.800
Sometimes it would be told on what they think is business or not business or what is it and not it, and you know what I'm saying?
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:29.200
It's hell of that shit go on, bro.
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:31.120
And that's the fucked up part.
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:34.640
Yeah, it's like it's so much, it's so much lies, bro.
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:43.600
It's so much discrepancies that plays a key factor on why a lot of shit don't don't go as planned no more, bro.
00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:45.760
And gatekeeping.
00:58:47.200 --> 00:58:48.400
It's a lot of gatekeeping shit.
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:54.960
It's a lot of that gatekeeping shit too, but it's like, what do we consider as gatekeeping?
00:58:55.040 --> 00:58:55.440
You feel me?
00:58:55.680 --> 00:59:02.400
Because sometimes we gatekeep ourselves, not trying to go get the information or learn something.
00:59:02.560 --> 00:59:03.040
You feel me?
00:59:03.120 --> 00:59:04.880
And they wait for niggas to give something to them.
00:59:05.040 --> 00:59:08.720
I would say gatekeeping is like, say you you have a podcast, right?
00:59:09.520 --> 00:59:18.320
And you have say ten celebrities that came through, right?
00:59:18.640 --> 00:59:22.000
And none of them mentions your podcast.
00:59:22.160 --> 00:59:24.720
But they will mention Joe Budden podcast.
00:59:25.120 --> 00:59:25.760
See what I'm saying?
00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:27.840
That's gatekeeping because guess what?
00:59:28.080 --> 00:59:31.760
I don't want to mention your podcast because you might blow up my city.
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:32.560
You know what I'm saying?
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:34.080
I'm pretty sure that go on.
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:35.920
I'm gonna say that's gatekeeping.
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:40.400
Because I don't want you, your name to be mentioned amongst other people in a big light.
00:59:40.560 --> 00:59:40.960
Facts.
00:59:41.120 --> 00:59:52.720
I mean, I I I I understand that perspective, and you know, at the same time too, that's why I came to the conclusion to create my platform because it's like I got control of my own narrative.
00:59:52.880 --> 01:00:00.160
I don't have to worry about somebody controlling my narrative because I I'm gonna put the market in the advertisement and promotion and all of that shit.
01:00:00.240 --> 01:00:05.440
So I'm not waiting for the next man to put validation on something that I'm validated by creating.
01:00:05.520 --> 01:00:06.080
You feel me?
01:00:06.240 --> 01:00:06.800
And I feel that.
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:07.840
You know why I feel that?
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:10.640
Because I'm as similar as how I am.
01:00:11.600 --> 01:00:14.400
And that's what independence, to me, what independence is.
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:15.680
You know what I'm saying?
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:17.200
I'm the person to call.
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:18.640
I'm the person to send emails.
01:00:18.720 --> 01:00:21.600
I'm the person that's that's at the video shoot, directing my videos.
01:00:21.680 --> 01:00:24.320
I'm the person that's, hey, take this picture this way.
01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:25.040
I don't like that.
01:00:25.120 --> 01:00:26.320
I'm the person that's doing all that.
01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:28.080
There's nobody else but me.
01:00:28.240 --> 01:00:30.880
And and I don't, I don't have to call nobody.
01:00:31.040 --> 01:00:31.840
That's just me.
01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:33.040
And I choose it that way.
01:00:33.120 --> 01:00:33.840
You know what I'm saying?
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:37.120
I I don't need to nobody else to call for nothing.
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:37.840
You know what I'm saying?
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:39.760
And that's what true independence to me is.
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:43.280
And I feel like if you're like that, that's true independence, bro.
01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:43.760
And then.
01:00:44.640 --> 01:00:48.560
And I just figure like we needed more voices out here, you feel me?
01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:54.880
Because majority when you when you think of California, the first thing that we'll do, people say, uh, no jumper.
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:56.400
Oh, they from out here?
01:00:56.560 --> 01:00:57.600
Yeah, they in LA.
01:00:57.760 --> 01:00:58.080
Oh, yeah.
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:07.120
But the thing is, is like we we can create the same narrative around here if people support it like Hasabito.
01:01:07.600 --> 01:01:11.760
But if we concentrate on the support of the people right here, we would never win.
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:15.440
So we have to give it to the world so the people right here can accept it.
01:01:15.600 --> 01:01:16.320
You feel me?
01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:21.120
So that's why my podcast is on every major platform.
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:22.160
You know what I'm saying?
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.880
Like, we don't just play it just for YouTube.
01:01:25.200 --> 01:01:27.200
No, I'm on Apple Podcasts.
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:32.560
We got an app, an actual app for the phone for it, like on Apple and Google and different shit.
01:01:32.640 --> 01:01:34.800
Like, we doing the billboards, we got the magazine.
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:41.120
So it's like I'm not waiting for certain people to come step above what we got going on.
01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:42.000
Exactly, bro.
01:01:42.160 --> 01:01:42.560
You feel me?
01:01:42.640 --> 01:01:51.760
It's like I'm gonna get the ball rolling, and then if if what you bring to the table holds value for what I got, then we bridge the gap and bring it together and make it that much bigger.
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:53.280
And that's how business goes.
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:53.920
You feel me?
01:01:54.400 --> 01:02:02.720
But when you got certain situations of life that doesn't understand the structure of business, a lot of time business don't get done.
01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:04.800
Yeah, because that's right.
01:02:05.040 --> 01:02:08.080
Because if you're not raising business, you know what I'm saying?
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:16.240
You can teach business though, but if you're not raising business and understanding business, you're gonna be talking with someone, you're talking on the wall, bro.
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:29.280
If you're telling a person, hey, this needs to be this, if you don't switch this to this on the barcode, just say, say we have a grocery store, switch the barcode from 535 to 781.
01:02:29.520 --> 01:02:32.560
And they get that and there goes this idiot, like, hey man, you know what?
01:02:32.640 --> 01:02:33.600
That's not the right one.
01:02:33.680 --> 01:02:34.640
We're not gonna do that.
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:35.760
What are you talking about, bro?
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:36.480
This is my business.
01:02:36.560 --> 01:02:38.080
Let me run my business how it's run.
01:02:38.160 --> 01:02:40.160
That's how you ran the business at the other store.
01:02:40.240 --> 01:02:40.880
You know what I'm saying?
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:44.320
And that's what independence is, you know what I'm saying, what works for you, you know what I mean?
01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:49.120
And you know, this is so this is why others stay rich and we don't, right?
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:54.480
We go outside of our people to go do business when we shouldn't.
01:02:54.560 --> 01:02:54.960
You feel me?
01:02:55.200 --> 01:02:55.920
Man, I feel that.
01:02:56.080 --> 01:02:58.240
This is why that the confusion, right?
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:02.080
Fucks up on a daily basis, right?
01:03:04.240 --> 01:03:11.520
Instead of people doing either a trade for a trade barter system or let me help you put some money in your pocket, help me put all the money in your pocket, we don't do none of that.
01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:12.240
You feel me?
01:03:12.640 --> 01:03:14.720
And that fucks up everything.
01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:15.920
You know what I'm saying?
01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:22.320
Like my thing is, is like building relationships is important when it comes to that rapport.
01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:23.680
You know what I'm saying?
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:28.400
For instance, I needed my I needed my bro for something.
01:03:28.560 --> 01:03:29.920
He needed me for something.
01:03:30.080 --> 01:03:31.600
It's a barter system.
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:36.640
But I didn't get at my bro and be like, bro, I need you to do this for me, bro.
01:03:36.720 --> 01:03:38.160
You know what I told my brother?
01:03:38.560 --> 01:03:40.320
How much you gonna charge me, bro?
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:47.360
Because when you care about somebody else's business, like how you care about yours, you understand business.
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:48.320
Exactly, bro.
01:03:48.640 --> 01:03:49.200
You feel me?
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:51.360
But what did my brother do back to me?
01:03:51.600 --> 01:03:52.960
Bro, I got you.
01:03:53.120 --> 01:03:54.640
Cause I need some business done too.
01:03:54.720 --> 01:03:56.960
So let's meet in the fine line of the medium.
01:03:57.040 --> 01:03:57.840
You feel me?
01:03:58.000 --> 01:03:59.920
That's how it's supposed to be, bruh.
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.200
I scratch your back, you scratch my back, we bring it together, niggas.
01:04:03.520 --> 01:04:04.800
Black Wall Street.
01:04:05.120 --> 01:04:06.160
Come on, bruh.
01:04:06.240 --> 01:04:06.960
But people don't know.
01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:08.720
They don't know.
01:04:09.120 --> 01:04:11.120
Uh a good friend, a good brother.
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.440
Niggas always trying to be come up.
01:04:13.600 --> 01:04:14.160
You know what I'm saying?
01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:21.760
Trying to finesse, use these words without through time to get up on you close to see what they can get from you instead of what we can get together.
01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:22.720
You feel me?
01:04:22.880 --> 01:04:24.480
And it be fucked up, bruh.
01:04:24.560 --> 01:04:28.240
Stop trying to get from a nigga and let's bring something together, bro.
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:29.840
It works out that much better.
01:04:30.080 --> 01:04:30.480
True, man.
01:04:30.640 --> 01:04:33.280
Everything ain't always about the dollar amount, bruh.
01:04:33.520 --> 01:04:33.760
True.
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:36.800
What we can do together to help us be better.
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:37.840
You feel me?
01:04:38.080 --> 01:04:44.240
We better are, we better with the connection than being like, nigga, because especially if I got this boy, I'm, I'm gonna hit my bruh.
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:44.720
He got this.
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:46.960
Well, that's how it's supposed to be.
01:04:47.120 --> 01:04:55.040
But if you gotta keep going to outsider of an outsider of an outsider, then how how you expect it to get done on the master to where it is gonna count?
01:04:55.280 --> 01:05:01.520
Because the money, because if you think about it, if you have a circle and you spend money outside the circle, it's not gonna circulate.
01:05:01.680 --> 01:05:03.600
And that's why the Asian community beat us.
01:05:03.680 --> 01:05:12.880
That's why the Hispanic community beat us, because they make sure it's spent with them four times before it even go out of their own people.
01:05:13.200 --> 01:05:20.160
Hey, look, I'm not, I'm not racist or any of that, but I've never seen a black person working in a Chinese store.
01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:21.360
It's never gonna happen.
01:05:21.680 --> 01:05:22.720
See what I'm saying?
01:05:22.960 --> 01:05:26.560
I've never seen a black dude working on a Mexican truck.
01:05:27.200 --> 01:05:27.920
It's never gonna happen.
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:28.720
You know what I'm saying?
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:35.360
And it's not being wretched, it's just that they stick to their own people because they know what to what to expect, what we're gonna make.
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:36.560
We're gonna make this today.
01:05:36.720 --> 01:05:37.600
You know what I'm saying?
01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:44.480
So I can't understand how us as a people can't understand, bro.
01:05:44.640 --> 01:05:46.480
Like it's double standard, though.
01:05:46.560 --> 01:05:48.640
I'm gonna be honest, it's double standard.
01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:55.520
Because if it's a Fortune 500 company and you have multi-blacks, what are they gonna call?
01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:57.200
Racial discrimination.
01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:00.000
They're gonna force you to have an other in there.
01:06:00.640 --> 01:06:10.640
But they can have a multi same thing and as in they don't have to, because a lot of times people's claws are different.
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:13.040
Like you were saying earlier.
01:06:13.520 --> 01:06:15.920
A lot of us don't know what our origin.
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:20.000
So if you don't know your origin, I'm gonna trick you out of your position.
01:06:20.240 --> 01:06:21.360
Yeah, definitely.
01:06:21.600 --> 01:06:22.320
You feel me?
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:27.360
I'm gonna tell you something that I know is wrong and act like it's right on purpose, and you're gonna believe it.
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:30.800
So now you believe what I told you, and it was nigga a whole lie.
01:06:31.520 --> 01:06:36.480
So a lot of us grew up on straight lies, bro.
01:06:37.360 --> 01:06:38.160
You feel me?
01:06:38.240 --> 01:06:41.680
We come from blocks, turf, neighborhood zones, all the shit, family shit.
01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:47.360
But we was lied to, and we a lot of us jump in heed of other people's problems through a lie, right?
01:06:47.520 --> 01:06:48.400
It was never the truth.
01:06:48.640 --> 01:06:53.120
Yeah, because that zone, I I look, I had to do a study on this, bro.
01:06:54.080 --> 01:06:55.360
I did a study on this.
01:06:55.840 --> 01:07:05.040
I'm gonna say it before it's I did a study on this, and every gang started within five years of each other.
01:07:06.240 --> 01:07:14.800
It started with a Mexiomalfia, North Daniels, I mean the Mexiomalfia, then it was the Serranios and Northanios, then it was Crips, and then it was Buds.
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:17.920
And they were all within five years of each other.
01:07:18.160 --> 01:07:21.600
Ten years of all gangs started ten years.
01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:26.880
So say if you say one started one year and then the other one, all ten years of each other.
01:07:27.120 --> 01:07:28.400
All gangs, bro.
01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:35.280
So I'm gonna just say this, say this, just say this, man, since uh everybody cut cut cut off here.
01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:40.560
Unity and acceptance, bro, is how we find peace.
01:07:41.040 --> 01:07:43.600
It don't matter if you're black, white, pink, or purple.
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:46.240
As long as you accept the person.
01:07:46.320 --> 01:07:50.000
I said, let me say like, let me use black and white.
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:55.760
I heard black people say, oh, white people can't cook, or they got tasteless foods.
01:07:56.320 --> 01:07:58.400
Accept them for their tasteless foods.
01:07:58.880 --> 01:08:02.720
You have white people say black people slap their music too loud.
01:08:03.200 --> 01:08:06.640
White people accept that people they're slap, that's a part of their culture.
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:07.680
That's their culture, bro.
01:08:07.760 --> 01:08:10.480
We slap music and we ride around like, hey, you feel me?
01:08:10.560 --> 01:08:11.280
What are we talking about?
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:19.039
Even in Jamaica, we s bro, the best taxi cabs in Jamaica had slap, man.
01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:20.640
415s.
01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:25.760
Nobody wanna ride with nobody if he ain't got 415s.
01:08:25.840 --> 01:08:26.480
It's our culture.
01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:28.560
You come to America, they got 415s.
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:30.880
I'm telling you, we go to we we go to Jamaica right now, bro.
01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:34.640
You see the best taxi cab man got 415s in his trunk.
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:37.520
Got nobody wanna get on another taxi cab.
01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:39.680
They want to get on this guy's taxi cab right here.
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:41.199
He got 415s in his trunk.
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:41.920
We riding with him.
01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:43.279
We ain't riding with no lames.
01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:44.000
Right?
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:45.920
I'm just saying, it's it's a culture thing.
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:46.800
It don't matter where you at.
01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:47.760
It could be in Africa.
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:48.880
They got 415s.
01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:50.960
I'm guaranteed somewhere, somewhere, you know what I'm saying?
01:08:51.119 --> 01:08:52.000
I'm just saying, bro.
01:08:52.079 --> 01:08:52.640
That's what it is.
01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:53.199
You feel me?
01:08:53.680 --> 01:08:56.400
Before we end, I want to go back to that gang shit, bro.
01:08:56.480 --> 01:09:01.920
That's it's hella shit that's vividly clear, blood, like you say, that divide is quick, right?
01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:06.400
What color is the police cars?
01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:08.159
Black and white.
01:09:08.480 --> 01:09:09.680
Yin and yang.
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:14.560
What color is the the lights on the on top of the car?
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:16.079
Red and blue.
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:21.760
What color is the the the the demographic party?
01:09:22.159 --> 01:09:23.360
Red and blue.
01:09:26.480 --> 01:09:26.800
Man.
01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:28.159
Boxing.
01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:29.440
People don't understand how.
01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:30.880
Even boxing is the same way.
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:32.159
Red and blue corner.
01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:33.600
Red and blue corner.
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:35.360
They both got red and blue gloves.
01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:37.199
People don't even pay attention to this, bro.
01:09:37.360 --> 01:09:42.880
This is uh is this is a clear view that we're programmed, bruh.
01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:44.159
Separation.
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:47.440
The biggest gang is the corporation of America.
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:49.360
True.
01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:51.280
Bloods and Crips is who?
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:52.800
Democrats and Republicans.
01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:54.159
Yeah.
01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:56.159
Red state, blue state.
01:09:56.320 --> 01:09:56.880
Yes, sir.
01:09:57.119 --> 01:10:01.760
But like I was saying earlier, the illusion of where black people lost themselves.
01:10:03.280 --> 01:10:06.159
If y'all don't know this shit, do y'all history?
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:12.240
In the 70s, 60s, and 50s and 40s, black people were Republicans.
01:10:13.280 --> 01:10:13.840
Facts.
01:10:14.079 --> 01:10:16.000
We were not Democrats.
01:10:16.320 --> 01:10:21.360
We turned Democrats in between the 80s, between 80 and 89.
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:22.320
Through force.
01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:28.800
And it was through the dope era, which forced us as peers of our own abnivacy, lost everything.
01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:30.000
People forget this.
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:42.960
We owned all the gas stations, all the corner stores, all the moms and pops shit, all the motherfucking, the plumbing, carpentry, everything that has to do with the value of us having ourselves together.
01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:55.440
The biggest thing that they ever did towards the divided conquer was give our parents drugs and took away our daddies, uncles, and our peers of adults, of men, and put them in prison at a young age.
01:10:55.680 --> 01:11:03.280
And it took so much from the structure of African American kids to grow up to know who they really are.
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:05.760
Indigenous American kids.
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:07.760
Indigenous, you feel me?
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:11.520
You gotta keep it with one thousand correction.
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:13.600
Because I'm gonna tell you why.
01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:21.680
It was never enough boats to carry that many people to America.
01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:23.760
People was already here, bro.
01:11:24.480 --> 01:11:25.920
It's impossible, bro.
01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:33.440
Like, that's why majority of our family members and peers come from the South, and they ended up in San Francisco and West Oakland and all that.
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:35.680
To the South was on the coast, right?
01:11:36.720 --> 01:11:38.480
It's on the where the water is at.
01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:39.280
Where the water line.
01:11:39.440 --> 01:11:40.880
Yeah, so they're bringing the slaves.
01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:42.000
Come on, bro.
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:42.560
So it's like.
01:11:43.440 --> 01:11:44.400
It's not even a lot.
01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:50.000
So many of us have lost our origin because we don't know our origin, like I was saying, bro.
01:11:50.079 --> 01:11:58.880
So when you come from people, we have family that come from Atlanta, and they be like, y'all, y'all privileged.
01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:00.400
We are privileged.
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:01.760
Y'all talk white.
01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:03.119
Y'all talk proper.
01:12:03.280 --> 01:12:07.600
But the fucked up part, bruh, I hate how we put stigmas on how people talk.
01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:13.920
There's no color on with having education, bro.
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:15.119
You know what I'm saying?
01:12:15.280 --> 01:12:20.480
Like, we we degrade every situation when it comes to people having that shit, bruh.
01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:24.880
So it's like, I hate that we put color on you having knowledge.
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:25.920
You know what I'm saying?
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:30.400
Like, we put color on wisdom, we put color, but us, we're gonna say, oh, that's niggas only.
01:12:30.480 --> 01:12:34.240
No, wisdom is just having experience and through life and what you done lived to your testimony.
01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:36.480
You feel me, to be able to teach.
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:50.720
But you know what, though, to speak on that, the the reason why that people are like that is because, you know, Ebonics was created till slaves can talk about the slave masters without them understanding, for sure.
01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:52.159
That's really what it was.
01:12:52.400 --> 01:12:54.800
But was fucked up, bro.
01:12:55.440 --> 01:12:57.760
Our own people was our own slave masters.
01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:00.560
This is what we hate to tell our own people, bruh.
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:03.920
Our people sold them to those people.
01:13:04.320 --> 01:13:07.920
That's why I'm never mad at the people of others, bruh.
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:10.079
Because we did it to our own, bruh.
01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:11.119
We sold our own people.
01:13:11.360 --> 01:13:14.079
Yeah, but I I have a I have a problem with that, though.
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:15.440
Still at the same time, right?
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:16.159
I can't.
01:13:16.240 --> 01:13:18.079
I'm I'm I'm gonna tell you what, watch this.
01:13:18.240 --> 01:13:20.000
And you're gonna understand what I'm saying.
01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:22.320
Yes, I have a problem.
01:13:22.640 --> 01:13:28.240
I don't have a problem as far as when they they sold the slaves to the white folks, right?
01:13:28.480 --> 01:13:34.480
But in, I don't know if it was 1776, 1780, when it freed the slaves.
01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:34.960
Right?
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:37.760
When they said, hey, we're all the same.
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:40.400
All races are the same, right?
01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:42.000
Now they're not slaves no more.
01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:44.000
Why did they still hang black people?
01:13:44.240 --> 01:13:45.360
That's my problem.
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:49.199
Why did they still hang them when they told them, hey, we're all the same.
01:13:49.440 --> 01:13:51.039
Now they're not slaves no more.
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:52.480
Why did they still hang them?
01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:53.360
That's my problem.
01:13:53.440 --> 01:13:54.079
You know what I'm saying?
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:57.600
So that's where the prejudice and the and and the problems come in for me.
01:13:57.840 --> 01:14:03.440
Because if if it wasn't never a problem after that, why did you y'all still hang people?
01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:05.280
Bro, they had postcards.
01:14:05.520 --> 01:14:07.039
Bro, they ate Harriet's husband.
01:14:07.199 --> 01:14:07.920
Do you know that?
01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:09.280
Okay, so you know.
01:14:09.600 --> 01:14:14.560
Bro, they ate Eric they ate Harriet Tubman's body to the bone, bruh.
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:15.600
So you you know what?
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.920
I don't really too knock them, bruh, because we still knocking us.
01:14:20.400 --> 01:14:22.560
Niggas still killing niggas.
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:23.920
You feel me?
01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:31.119
So it's like you can't blame somebody else's for your lack of not wanting something different.
01:14:31.280 --> 01:14:35.680
So when I say that, bruh, it's like, like I was saying, right?
01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:40.320
How you gonna be mad at somebody that beat you to the race, right?
01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:47.600
If your own people sold you out or sold you for a dollar, and I'm a boss over here, maybe we business.
01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:54.079
You got this strong motherfucker over here, and your own people is selling this strong motherfucker.
01:14:54.240 --> 01:14:55.280
Hey, let me get him.
01:14:55.360 --> 01:14:56.480
How much you want for him?
01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:57.920
I want$18.
01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:00.320
And you sold him?
01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:05.840
I can't be mad at him for taking in consideration that that nigga is a GOAT, nigga.
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:06.960
I need him on my team.
01:15:07.039 --> 01:15:07.760
Oh, yeah, for sure.
01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:11.039
We supposed to be mad at the person that sold him.
01:15:11.199 --> 01:15:11.840
You feel me?
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:17.039
It's no different than us today are still selling each other out, but blaming the people like we ain't did nothing.
01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:18.960
A sellout is a sellout.
01:15:19.119 --> 01:15:19.760
Well, I'm saying that.
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:21.119
Even though they sold them, right?
01:15:21.360 --> 01:15:27.280
What Waltry said is even though they sold them when slavery ended and they stopped selling slaves.
01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:28.880
No more selling slaves.
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:32.400
Uh they abolished selling slaves, all that.
01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:35.039
White people still kill niggas.
01:15:35.280 --> 01:15:37.039
To this day, they still hanging niggas.
01:15:37.199 --> 01:15:39.199
They still hanging black people to this day.
01:15:39.280 --> 01:15:41.520
I think they just hung somebody like last week, bro.
01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:42.800
I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure.
01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:43.600
You know what I'm saying?
01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:51.039
My thing is like, if it was never past hatred or slavery, because all right.
01:15:51.280 --> 01:15:52.720
That's that's that's taught, though.
01:15:52.800 --> 01:15:53.680
That's taught behavior.
01:15:53.840 --> 01:15:54.480
You know what I'm saying?
01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:56.079
Because it they never got over it.
01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:57.280
They still think.
01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:01.520
I mean, when you gotta think, 90% of their grandparents are still alive.
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:01.840
Man.
01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:06.240
So it's like, yeah, this is taught behavior with through time.
01:16:06.720 --> 01:16:10.480
That's why a lot of us fucked up, because this behavior was taught to us.
01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:12.240
Oh, nigga, you gonna claim the block.
01:16:12.400 --> 01:16:13.520
You gonna claim the hood.
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:14.800
You're gonna be here.
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:19.119
So we picked up this behavior that thought it was tight, but it was never fucking cool.
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:20.000
Yeah, bruh.
01:16:20.159 --> 01:16:20.880
You feel me?
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:23.760
So it's too much of life of an illusion, bruh.
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:27.039
Keep your people not knowing shit and you fuck them over and you get it, that's how you win.
01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:27.760
Hey, you know what?
01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:29.600
That's what I said on the song, man.
01:16:31.199 --> 01:16:34.400
Niggas fighting over a block they don't even fucking own.
01:16:34.480 --> 01:16:36.720
Their grandparent never even owned it.
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:37.920
You feel me?
01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:39.840
That's the dumbest shit in the world, bro.
01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:44.480
You're gonna you're gonna kill yourself, bruh, over a block you don't even own, bruh.
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:51.280
Your granny doesn't own the block, your mama don't own the block, your cousin, nobody owns the block, but you fighting over this block.
01:16:51.360 --> 01:16:52.159
It makes no sense.
01:16:52.320 --> 01:17:02.640
And then, bro, in a hundred years, 50 years, the white man gonna buy that same block that you made popular for putting a gang on that block and everybody running the streets and making it so hot.
01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:04.640
And every man, people love that shit.
01:17:04.720 --> 01:17:06.159
Like, man, we're gonna move here, man.
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:07.360
That's the hood.
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:11.280
They're gonna move all you niggas out and sell it to the white man.
01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:15.760
And they're gonna put a bunch of people that never that don't even know your cousins, aunties, and uncles.
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:17.119
I don't know your con at all.
01:17:17.280 --> 01:17:17.920
Nothing at all.
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:20.240
Living in your house, living in your granny's house, bro.
01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:21.840
You feel me?
01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:22.240
