a program. Yeah, so like he was playing. We had
the Greaty cole center first half. My two cousins that
played at West Mac, they were like bully guards.

him picking him up full cord. He was turning it
over airball like so in the second half, I don't

they know this real. He had like forty five in
the second game, and it was like I remember talking
because Dale was there og and we were just talking.

Man? What was that feeling like?
Man, I I fell out playing with house money because
I was gonna go to Ukraine. I ain't get I
wouldn't thinking about going to the league like that. Damn
trying to go to Ukraine for eighty thousand. So I
had to go to all three summer leagues. So back
then it was Orlando. Before you move on, we got
to talk about that. The real Summer League was in
that side gym and the Atlanto Magic Facility, and it
was real hoots that was in that game. Oh shit
going on in there. Boy boy was in there playing
for their life in that little ass year. It was
real buckets out there.
Interrupt. Yeah, come on, man, it was real bro. And yeah.
So like my first year, I had to go to Orlando,
then Vegas, then Utah. So my daughter at the time, uh,
my daughter's mother was pregnant with my daughter at the time,
so she tripping ormones. I don't know what the fuck
was going on, but it was crazy. But I had
to go to Orlando after the draft. I fell asleep
during the draft day. I'm like, man, I'm not gonna
get drafted. And I got was all acc and shit
like that. Yeah, but like I was like, I know
how the politics kind of don't go Agent eighty thousand,
I said, euand ain't know Mad giving me that I'm
on at the game. So it was like, now you
gotta still go. They got a spot. I'm like, get over.
I'm like, man, it's like fourteen niggas. I'm not gonna

had to try out for that team, but he got yeah, bro,
so I get there. Shout out to my bro Dey
Kwon Cook. He ended up getting sho y'all know. Yeah,
he ended up getting shoulders separated and so he was out.
But he was like a feature guy. So they had
to play me like the last two games. I aver
was like eighteen or something. So then he was like, hey, Ukraine,
they talking about a hundred one hundred thousand now m hm,
trying to get you in the centum.
Come on to yah. So he was like naw, you

for you, crazy.
Bro, because it's just the thing now.
And I know we're kind of going back a little bit,
but you was mister basketball bro, your n I L
bag now would have been filthy.
You would Ukraine boy.
We talked about it all the time, like what you think,
like what would your bag be? I wouldn't have had
a lot going into high school, I mean going into college,
but after that first year because after the first.
Year, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would have Yeah, he would
probably hit.
I would have been going crazy hit the guy like
six minutes like you gotta I would have never I
would have known the NBA. He's just stayed there for hey,
like oh boy for the Clippers. He said, thank y'all
for driving me.
Going back to all Universal, I would have been on bro.
Damn yeah real talk bro.
Everything man four different So these kids don't even know, Like,
look at what you're saying, bro, one twenty you shiitty,
but the difference, Yeah, he would have been a first
round pick now, yeah, yeah, like it would have been
because yeah, what I asked you that do you feel
like you was a little bit too ahead of your
time because it's such a premium.
Now.
I always tell my mom, you had me too early.
I could have waited about ten years. Oh god, I'm
messing with five. No, man, But I mean I had
NBA former NBA coaches tell me the same. It's the truth.
I looked at Duncan Robinson and all them dudes. Yeah,
dudes getting pasted all that money. Yeah, and you he
shot that ship even more effortless. Yeah, man, he's yeah, yeah,
I didn't even know that. Sewing people, I shot better
from two than three.
They don't believe me.
Forty one for the career. Crazy, It's crazy, bro. Yeah,
I remember I was looking at the Sassin. It was like,
you met Steve cry For the highest three point percentage
of the league at one point. Yeah, he thought. He
was like, I thought you was gonna just state. I'm like,
hell no, man. The politics hit different. They started getting
traded around and getting out the rotation, Like you one
for three and you ain't getting back in the game
for two weeks.
That's crazy. Be getting kind of weird.
We were just talking about that. With the free agency stuff.
Tike always say that, he's like, once they like you,
a minimal gull. Yeah. I saw y'all talking about that. Man,
it's hard to get out of that. They put you
at minimum, it's hard to get out of that ship.
But I still feel like and you're working, like you're
still effective, like you work two, three, four years ago.

Yes.
But I was in Atlanta, and so he would tell
me stories about how he was hoping with my Tay,
how he speak about him, how he just gave you
the opportunity, and what it was like playing in Golden State.
Man. I mean, they gave me my chance.
Man, you know, I know that whole after I signed,

day because like back then, you stayed at the Marriott
that was connected to the top was the practice cility.
You mean Clarence of course all that ship. So I
was just in the gym all night, all day, bro.
And then we get like fast forward, get to the
you know where you got the team, the team scrimmage.
In front of the fans and ship. So it's like
the next day you find out if you're making.
Ship.
Yeah.
So I'm at the scores table. Me and Stack were like,
you know, it's young guys with old guys. So we
at the score table kneeling down. I'm like, hey, stat,
don't let him cut me, bro, Please don't let him
come me man working hard. He looked at me, was like, nigga,
you've been made the team, Like you're gonna be good.

you good, go back and just hoop. So the next day,
shout to my boy, Rob Curage went to norther Dame.
They end up cutting them. He still had a good career. Yeah,
coach Siege or something. But That's how that ship was man,
and don Nelson was like, look, if you don't shoot
the ball when you open them, take you out the game.
Damn.
That's the best picture here for me from all Like,
oh no, it's Owen. Yeah is up for sure. Yeah
so he let me, you know. So that's why I
had so much confidence, Like I had a you know,
any and not just basketball. He's a great like mentor
type that he really real players coach for him on
BDS that always speak very very highly. Even Matt as
well speak very very highly in him as well. Yeah,
real players coach Man and the real players like like
a real personable guy, like real life.
You know what I mean.
You don't get something different either. You know, it's the
same on both sides.
What is that transition? Like going from Golden Sights to
the Jersey The ship was crazy, bro. I did not
want to leave Golden State.
I had never been that far away from the East Coast,
from Charlotte or Atlanta, like, so when I had to,
I mean we was in I was like shit free
agency about to get to it, you know what I'm saying.
Like I got a market like New York. It was
like New York, Jersey Houston, and like I forgot it
was like two more teams and it was like, well,
Jersey just offers you the three year joint. And I
called the people, I called my age. I said, can
we please get them the mast this ship man, I
do not want to go to New Jersey, like you
know what I'm saying. So I remember like he was like, nah,
I ain't gonna do it. So I ended up going
to Jersey for like the press conference, and I went
from Cali and Vegas to like New Jersey and it
didn't look I was like, I ain't even had no clothes,
Like I had to go to the man's warehouse and
ship bro which is cool.
I ain't tripping on, but I.
Had to go and then like it was like yeah,
I was like damn, damn, what you up the man's
wearhouse for?
Because I didn't have no like it needed a suit. Yeah,
because first round pick it ain't like that you undrafted,
so like.
Well it took me and I was like all right,
so and shout out to Avery Johnson, h my guys man.
So like you know, it was cool though, because by
the time I got acclimated with being on the East
Coast up north. You know, I just listened to Briefs
Club every morning. I had to get used to all
that ship. Yeah, and I didn't want to leave there
after a while. And I was like, yeah, okay, see yeah,
you know what I'm saying. How would you like being okay?
See now that's like the Now that's a tough place. Uh.
People in Oklahoma. We we've been there. We have and
I'm from there like you. It's different and not.
Like us, no disrespect. I just drove in here. Boy,
look a lot like.
They don't lie, Bro, it's a it's a yeah, it's
a family.
So yeah, like that because I'm from here. But don't god,
we ain't smell we guys. We got a football team,
That's what That's true. Tell you a lot. They got
the champer here. You know you can that they got
the best player in the world. They tell you they
have one of the best players.
Niggas is still not starting the games, be silly, we can't.
I just felt like we was there for a stick.
He played in the NBA, so he was there chilling,
but me and was there for a stint.
Bro. Literally we got we went to a goddamn Yeah,
that's how. And it was still like showed us the
ultimate love. Yeah you know what I mean. But we
was we could not went to a club that night.
It was in Oklahoma.
Yeah, nah, bro, I had to bro it's crazy because like,
and I was cool because at that time I had
like kids, so I was born and it ain't ship
to do so it's like I'm in the gym all
the time, locked in, got my son was born. Like,
I was just on that type time at that point
in my career. So it was cool.
I love it. And we were winning, you know, we
had first Yeah, it was good. Yeah, we broke out crazy.
Yeah I had to because I don't know if I'm
stand in line up, so I got to go crazy.
Now I think sure that was a hell of thing.
Yeah we were pretty. Yeah we were good. Man.
What was in practices like man with so many talented
players and especially a bike man?
Now I missed that more.
I missed that kind of stuff more than just like
when people ask like, I know, they asked you like
do you miss playing? Like it ain't just the games
like in the competitors, it's the camaraderie man the locker room,
the guys on the plane, playing cards and you know
restaurants and you know team Dinners and ship like that.
You know what I mean, come to the room, man,
we go to the hookah spot like whatever we're doing,
like that kind of stuff. But uh yeah, that's that's
what I would say, especially about well come and shit
like them.
Practices used to get.
Crazy, bro, Like the third like Surge was so competitive,
Bro and Russ we already know Russell and you know
what I'm saying, Like it used to get real, Bro.
That's why we was like we went to the Western
Conference finals that year that that. You know, Golden State
they beat us, They beat us all through preseason, and
they beat us four times in the regular season, and
we still knew he was better than them. We never
lost confidence. Took him seven games to get us, but
y'all was up though it was up three to one.
I know y'all was twelve. It ain't gonna lie, Bro,
because Clay had eleven three yea. And I told him
before the series, I don't know if they took me serious.
I say, look, man, stuff gonna do, what stuff gonna do?
He got the ball in his hands all the time,
He's gonna come off ninety fucking screens. It's going to
go up, like I said, but we can't let Clay
go crazy. It's like, what you mean?
What you mean? What I mean?
Like these six seven shoot from up here? You know
what I'm man? He started, he got high in the
first half. I said, I told John Man, what game
was it? Game that's got the name Game six? Clay
from that legendary performance.
Yeah, you watch that ship? Yeah?
Man?
After that, I told him to Bro. I told, I said, look, Bro,
don't let Clay get hot.
You know what I'm saying. Do whatever it takes foul them.
That was I was gonna win the tip too, because
we knew what we all everybody knew. We didn't win
that Game six. Hell come, we're gonna go back to Oakland. Yes,
it's gonna be a zooan. I gassed him up. Game one, A,
Game two one, Game one, Game two, that's that series.
I was like, I looked up most of the seats.
They had the yellow towels, like the Golden State whatever.
I said, Man, they ain't even in their seats, and
we about a tipball. It ain't taking us serious. I
think that changed some people, like Russ Ship, like that
he gonna turn into something else.
But it was the truth, you know.
What I mean, like cav baby, like man whatever, Russ
gonna be like, nah, they really don't respect us. Like ship,
you know what I'm saying, maniac real ship and then
you know we turned it into that, but it fell short.
Man, damn Braun. This is what they told me.
Broun was like, and I heard him say, it was like,
even though they won seventy three games, we were glad
to see them versus y'all.
We did not want to play against y'all. You know.
He you know we had two Hall of famers for sure.
It was like we didn't want to see y'all because
we knew they was gonna be kind of worn out.
We seen y'all they took We took them seven games,
like we can get Yeah, they would all even talk
about that. He was like, y'all know we wont he's
up there. Okay, team was the best team. So it
was we was cold, bro damn. That's real battles for sure.
The aftermathter that did you say that coming well Cable?

was like, nah, I text. I had to text Russ.
I text Russell ship. Russe was like, you know rush Man.
He was like, I'm good, Bro, I'm good. I was like,

with the relentlessness you know what I'm saying.
But you saw that, y'all saw that?
Yeah, de Rose, you get a chance to like rest like, yeah,
he wasn't going for offensive rebound like that. You know
he had let somebody else shoot that motherfucker. Russell shoot
that bitch forty times if you look.
Oh, absolutely no.
I wish you would say some about it and he'll
go get the rebound for sure.
They wouldn't let nobody say nothing about that. He's probably
asked Nigga to follow the shot in the NBA. Yeah,
he was sure. Brog getting twenty rebounds is insane. Bro.
He's doing that ship often you and never saying, bro,
shwan the peel brought you? You want me out?
That you want me out the lineup? He's trying to

My long year. Yeah yeah, yeah, I got it?
Was it?
Yeah? Okay, yeah that was That was my rookie year.
Your rookie year, so my second year in college.
Yeah.
You so when I went to the league, I got
drafted about them. Now we watched it.
I've seen the video on YouTube, and I saw that car.
I said, I'm getting that one day. It wasn't on surreal.
I say, I gotta have that.
You know, they're happened to me. I forgot that young La.
They had one out there. I said, I'm getting a
challenge when I needed that, I got the black I

thousand nine. It's crazy the mo part game, man, Yeah,

of the car when you got that deal from Jersey?
What you getting that one didn't get come?
Yeah?
Ah, man, dumb ass jewelry that I ain't need. Man
Shure died, But I just didn't need that ship. For
if I'm thinking back like now, for forty years it
was cool, then it don't matter. Just like shoe money, Yeah,
shoe deal money, like you know what I mean, I know,
I mean like the real the ain't purchased being for
real was my like crib did some laying you know
what I mean, like you butter in Charlotte or in
Jersey Charlotte.
Yeah, that's like the biggest purchase I ever made, A
great purchase. Great, you know what I mean?
Because if you ask guys, am b like you don't
spend no money on you, I'm like, bro, it ain't
worth none of that, Bro, not a lot of ship
ain't worth that. Like you know what that nigga you
was like that in Atlanta, you know, like we were
talking about money smooth and now was different even though
they had way different.
Yeah, that's a little different. They had das money. Yeah,
who wasn't even really spending NBA money, you know, But
to us here at the time, what right you ain't
even got to play in the league right now, A
couple of years off if you want. That's like real show.
Always I tell people this kids, my AU program, parents
or anything.
I tell him, Like my.
First three four years in the league, I was living
with my pops. Now I had a bens outside, but
I was with my pops. But he was like, why
until you could buy and purchase and own some ship,
don't give them your money. That's the rent all this
time when you got a rent while you're playing in
the city. And it made sense at the time. Man, Pops,
he was on the ship, we was on strip Club,
were going out like he was on that not now,
but back then, and so it was cool. And you know,
that was probably the best piece of advice he could
have given me, Like own your ship first. I don't
care what you got outside a car or whatever you're doing. Jury,
don't care, but own that, yeah, because you're not going
to care about this car or that jury.
Like five or six years you got some hell little discipline,
boy to little with your folks. For four years. It
was just him him. I couldn't live with my mama either.
A player. Yeah, I ha my house three months. Yeah,
I bought a house so fast. Three months. Yeah they
gases so much. Just there for a couple of coffee
out there. Three months. Now that ship got it got real. Yeah.
I was like, I came home at like three one time, Mama,
they took over my ba it was my old house.
They took over my front room, you know where it was.
She came out to do it. Was like you all right,
you are right, Like it's three thirty. I know you
got practice in the morning. I said, oh yeah, yeah,
I call it really, I said, yeah, it was looking
for a house to move.
For sure.
Bro.
But that's interesting to hear you say that. Jared Smith
was talking about that. He was I was in Cleveland
with five cars, like I don't need none of this ship,
Like why did I spend my money on this? But
now you got the kids now, shit, they ain't got

like how you feel until like my third year in
the league.
Oh god, bruh them sixteen. I'm like, god, damn. You
know what I'm saying.
They got a different level of security because yeah, they
can physically touch it early on. That's like the most
like like crazy, like interesting, like it's crazy to see
like that that young. But the guidance, I feel like
it's a little better.
Yeah, for sure. The knowledge is ben what we don't
know what I would have did.
With we've been bro Yeah, we wouldn't have sold out
and k they gave you an m bar. I'm saying,
but we were like about another magic. Nobody really tell
you what to do it Like I definitely would have
you know, I would have stripper brain hair and that
he had a scooter boar to get up.
What that's a woul, that's a great idea.
Barbershop inside the strip, club with the with the brain
say with the book bags, make sure we are the ones.
Don't worry, I'll be back the club tripping truth a lot.
And we was popping back then.
Brot that time, this nigga right here, you want to
start like man was I used.
To work doing Lily. I used to prove the strippers
and win lot.
Bro.
It's almost like a little trap house. We took over
the strip summer, Yeah, for real, swear to god, Bro,
they gave us the night. Bro, we took it over.
I tweeted, y'all.
Had how many girls in the city want to dance?
Went crazy? Girl, I know I turned her into security.
I ain't gonna sare name. She didn't inquiet.
I know what he likes. I'm like, okay, he's gonna
be bad. She get those stage, Bro, she looked like
that six four.
Oh gosh, she was sunk for real. Everything the story
originals the door that that sh was a good ass
time though.
We we had a niggas coming in the true story.
Bro.
Facts Damn. I brung all the girls from at Loanda. Yeah,
I had to the girls that used to fight. That's crazy.
We talked about this you out here, but the girls
used to get mad, bro, because it's just like, y'all,
we can't have thirty girls in here, like y'all got
to take off night.
So y'all was doing it like weekends or did a
lot of the Sunday in substitutions five and five out Tuesday.
And I didn't never I went to after I was
probably once. But they used to be like Ship were
getting some money. They had the extended ours. So I'll
let some of the girls do the extended eyes. Yeah,
you know, call when you get there, so I'll make
sure y'all get through the back. Yeah, back, still working on.
Let's get it was that was that this was down
there in Hallville. It was downtown, okay, not too far.
That's crazy. It broke back a lot of memories, damn, bro.
That's a good part about being from like like in
the country, like y'all, I mean Ship, like you can
do stuff if you make it out, you can do
anything you come home like real talk.
Now that's the fact, bro.
But Charlotte Wae and what Charlotte is now when I
was coming up, so it's like, oh no, it's crazy. Yeah,
I mean, it don't even look like I could leave
for two weeks and come back and that ship looked
different again. That's you know what I mean, Like downtown
speaking Charlotte, how you feel about your hornets? Man, they
got the city. Man got miles about the city like
a real different boy. The Lakers teams.
I think.
It work for both teams for what they think they need.
I mean, Charlotte get three what first round swapen big
second round? I mean three second round picks you get
like I guess after mouths more now but over fifty
million dollars in cap space. Yeah, so I think they're
gonna do something else and try to go get Jayalen Brown.
That's what everybody keeps saying. I think that, but who.
Else because I don't know who else, Like I like
the Nias Grayson. Yeah, you know they got Kobe there,
Kobe gonna be and they got the boy from Texans.
I got you don't worry about it. Yeah, we're good.
We're good. Breaking new ship, nah, damn bro. Yeah, they're
definitely making plays.
I think they got because they got all new management,
all new everything. So you can tell that it's probably
younger and I don't know what he's talking about. Yeah,
very distractive to here for a minute.
Yeah, make you my principle.
I can't going on bron Yeah. I like what the
Horners is doing. I mean, we mad about LaMelo is
our guy for sure, but different vibes for sure. I'm
happy to see him in a together. I can't wait
to see what that looked like me too. That's gonna
look crazy for sure. Uh speaking for a while we're
here the Lakers, boy, Yeah yeah, yeah, some real crazy breaking.
We will discuss. Were discuss it on this one, but
you will see it. Yeah, we're gonna discuss as soon
as we get done.
Shout out to them. Oh see okay, uh yeah, Louise
do something with this. Yeah that's all good. You can't
like that, but we can talk about it though. It
don't matter. Yeah, but it happened.
Were talking about were breaking, Paul George. Yeah, Celtics for
Jaylen Brown?
Wow? Two first round picks?
Damn excuse me? Yeah that's it, bro, It's so crazy,
Paul George. So yeah, it was it too. Wait it's
a two team trade win like a multiple Nobody else
is up in this, That's what I'm saying.
Like, what, you're gonna listen to me?
Mo?
You said the first round fix and that, and I
respect it. But I'm like, bro, in the year of
you just gonna get rid of him.
Bro, Paul George's legends, So yeah, because it's still be
even involved in these type of situations.
Paul George is a legend.
Bro.
When this's come out, obviously we all know.
But the first round that's crazy and two second round picks,
damn wown' Well what I don't think he wants? How
do you think Jaylen Brown feel about that going to
Philly because you got it? Well, that's cool. I ain't
got nothing.
I'm cool. We're talking about it, talk about let's get
to be by, worry about this. I'm cool with that.
No, But speaking of free Asue out here anyway, a
lot of shit has changed, Kawhi going back to Toronto
is crazy.
Yeah, it is crazy.
There's a lot of moving parts of off season. Speaking
of last year, obviously, we know who won the championship.
Shout to the Knicks. How'd you feel about you know
what I'm saying, Winby's coming out party? Man, the Spurs
you got they got a chance to really do something.
Next year that Tobias hairs obviously not everybody back.
How you feeling that's a good move for them for them?
Yeah, solid solid buh for like the playoffs and Pro
season and all that.
They're gonna be I mean they're gonna get better. They're young.
Yeah, Winby's going to be stronger, you know, he's gonna
I mean, they're gonna work with him because like right now,
what Knicks did basically with him was just force him
to the perimeter all the time. He couldn't stay down
there on that block all that mid posts and really
get his work, you know. So I think he'll be
better at that next year. I think the Spurs would
be right there. That's a that's Tobias move though.
Yeah. Sure, Yeah.
We were just talking about crazy for free agency if
we got something about how it has ebbs and flows.
A couple of years ago, everybody's getting crazy contracts, and
now I've been getting back to it's like if you're
a mile level role player, I'm guaranteed gone now, which
is real interesting to see. I remember you talking a
little bit back about Jimmy Butler in the contract situation.
He was just like coming forward, they are going to
stop guaranteed us in those contracts, and everybody been trying
to force that way out right now, we're looking at it.
Happened though with the second Apron too, But I knew
how many contracts people will getting them huge numbers and
they wouldn't playing for two or three years like MB.
I think it probably started with NB. I know Philly
probably want to get off that contract back because you
know how much, and he's making like fifty minutes, so.
I'm saying they would have had oh wait, like, uh,
it's more guaranteed, like right, yeah, you get twelve twelve
million guaranteed on your fifty million. Yeah, yeah, unless you
play seventy games sixty I mean seventy is crazy, but
bigger games.
That's good.
Like you got like you got to put some kind
of stipulation on that, you got to play a lead
sixty games taking all of your money.
They started doing that. They did that to Robert Williams. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that I think from here on out. Yeah, sure doing boys,
who I'm not NBA bad. I love that. I ain't
gonna lie.
They're looking at dr Fox contract like board, we can't
move this ship if we wanted.
To he just didn't play well. But four years at
sixty apiece and you feel.
Like available for it. Yeah that's yeah, But that's what
we're talking about. It like bro that making all this
money and forcefully sitting out for no reason. Oh yeah,
yeah that's that's that's what it needs.
Yeah, you know, I wanted to play niggas, Okay, I said, ship,
they don't want me to play ass deal.
Yeah he snitch on me. I felt him though, just
did that. They just told on him, just like keep
him around. God, I ain't gonna him.
They had a the spocial locker room boy between Doc
Rivers and Cam Thomas and Jannis.
Yeah, my starner came out and said, the vibs are different.
Yeah I know he was. You could get traded.
You went out there, think you about to play with Jannis?
You in a rebuild mode.
That's gotta be you signed somewhere in Has that ever
happened to?
You go to a team, but we're gonna be on
this and you look up it's like, oh, this ship
changed overnight, Like where the fuck fit in now?
No kind of like it was. It was.
It was like that, but in a different way. So
like when Jersey traded me and then they went to Brooklyn.
Oh it's shitty, bro. God, you know what I'm saying,
because it's crazy because when I got there, like I
had just son and this is like Mellow coming out
of Denver time. They're like, hell, going to the New
Jersey Nets the Knicks or something, and he cut it
down to the Nets and the Knicks.
Bro, I had just got I still have boxes I
had unpacked in my apartment. Bro.
They're like, you're gonna be in this trade. We let
you know that right now. We're gonna start there.
Damn. Call my mom. I'm like, ma, just got here.
I don't know.
I might be I don't know where I'm going. I
might go to Denver. She's like, what's in Denver? A
lot of shit going on?
You don't understand. I call you.
I'm about to take a nap. So like by the
time I woke up, it was like over and that
they was like, yeah, going to the Knicks. I was like,
thank god, bro, because that would have been they was
gonna trade like six of us. Yeah, because I mean
at that time, Mellow was you know what I mean,
sure one of them, yeah, but kind of yeah. So
not like where I go somewhere for it. I wasn't
one of them dudes like, yo, I'm in the trade.
I'm just in the trade. I'm not asking to go nowhere.
That happened to me, Bro, Minnesota, you thought you was
gonna be with I was meant for the Jimmy called me,
Todz called me, and they called Jamal. They like y'all
were gonna were about to make Minnesota popping. I was like, hell, no,
I don't want to go here.
You know me, I cried.
There not a good reason. I cried because the nigga
I didn't want to go. You came and you came
from uh Indiana. Yeah here, Yeah go back here. Yeah
he's gonna stay home. Man. My agent signed that ship
without me. Shout out to the real he said, because
I turned it down the first time. They offered me
sixty three for three and I turned it down and
I was on way for Indiana.
Then they called back. They was like, hey, we were
dropping it the fifty seven. My age was like yeah, Bro.
He called me. He was like, yep, we signed with
a Minnesota. Like why I know the funk? I didn't?
He was like, you did, Yeah, you did. We ain't
wait for no fucking Indiana. I was shitty, I was
he man, he might have made that might have been
good though. It was perfect yeah right yeah yeah the
real think because uh G Hill signed the same deal,
but he had ah, he didn't have a they weren't
all guaranteed. Yeah, so my ship was all guaranteed. They
was gonna start doing that ship like now guarantee the
last year.
Yeah.
And he was like you want to not guarantee? Like, yeah,
