Speaker 1: She was like, Yo, you know guy screaming latino on the Grammy? Yeah he want is my wife calling me telling me that you won the Grammy. So you win the Grammy?

00:02:08
Speaker 6: What's so important about you saying yo, ken joke put a latito on.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: I just want the homies understanding.

00:02:16
Speaker 1: He gave me a platform, and it's been something that's so hard to do in Los Angeles too, you know, break into the rap game as a Latino. And you know Kendrick Reid, you know Black and Brown Unit, he had his finance right there. It don't get no bigger than that. And I appreciate him for giving me that platform. I got the barn.

00:02:33
Speaker 2: I'm running with it. I ain't looking back, right, you know, one of the living legends.

00:02:39
Speaker 1: So many kids it look like me in the hood, you know, and just I'm glad to represent the people in the right way.

00:02:45
Speaker 6: There's one of the Latino legends from out here one time. I don't want to say his name because he's beyond a legend. But he come and I take him to the Bronx to hang out with me. You know, we in the Bronx so very different. This is what I want to talk to you about. Some people can visualize and understand what's going on. Very different in the West Coast, unfortunately, between the Latinos and blacks, like in New York, everybody's a mixed baby. Everybody's black and Puerto Rican. And so he comes with us and I'm just showing him a good time. We had Jimmy's Ross Cafe, and he asks me, Yo, you fuck with the black people? And I looked at him, like, because I might as well be black. I don't know how to explain it to you any other way. So I looked at him and say, Yo, what you mean? He said, out West, we don't fuck with the black dude. I said, well, I can't fuck with you no more, man, because that's not what we on here, right And I didn't even understand that's Fowjoe Tom or some shit like that.

00:03:41
Speaker 2: I think I know who ain't talking about.

00:03:43
Speaker 1: Whoa, it don't matter. Yeah, he's a legend. But he told me, yo, we don't fuck with the black dudes. I said, well, I can't fuck with you. That was the last time I ever rocked with him, even though he is a legend and he's a pioneer somebody who started it. But that's when I started to realize that there's parts of the country that Latinos and blacks and connected like that.

00:04:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

00:04:05
Speaker 6: And so that's what you meant when you went up there. You said, Yo, this brother gave me a chance. Let's unify, Yeah.

00:04:10
Speaker 1: Stronger together, and you ain't gonna get nowhere and rap if you ain't cool and on blacks, you know, it's it's their culture, you know. And they allow me to, you know, make money off this. And more homies are following in my footsteps, you know, And I appreciate everything changing with more did for me and changed my life. You know.

00:04:28
Speaker 6: I always said that the biggest rap on Earth, it's gonna be a Mexican rapper if he finds a way to let I always tell you that Steve, Steve lobels here, the biggest rap on Earth, It's gonna be a Mexican American rapper the fucks with black people, fucks with everybody and just makes music for everybody.

00:04:52
Speaker 1: It's gonna have the whole world.

00:04:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, in the sense you leading that in the in the in the footsteps, and you know we already got that. The point of it so on was body more than that. I mean, Latinos and blacks together. So I've always been about that. You pay the way, good looking brother. Tell me about the Mexican experience in La bomb Park, A lot of ganggang you know.

00:05:17
Speaker 1: I got jumped into my neighborhood when I was thirteen years old, juvenile hall prison, live a real life, you know, really about that life. And I was sitting in Pelican Bay and I'm like, man, you know, just a moving cycle was in Quirking Shoe, Pelican basedow and I've seen oh jeez, he's a rapper out here. I said I could do that. And I said, man, I'm gonna break the cycle. I'm gonna be a rapper, fuck it, you know, and then the rest is history. I manifested everything. I've seen it in my head. I ran with it, you know, but just you know, real Latino neighborhood, like point the bomb Park, West Camina, the Wante you know, just ain't nothing coming out of there, just gang bang, you know, try to make a change.

00:06:00

00:06:54
Speaker 6: You see how he is scared to say, yo, I was fucked up. I was using drugs and he inspired so many people. And now you're the biggest in the game. You gotta realize more people relate to that. Like I lost the brother the drugs. He wouldn't get off drugs. When did you start? How did that come about? And when did you finally say, yo, I'm I gotta stop doing this.

00:07:16
Speaker 1: Man. I've been doing drugs and it's like I was thirteen, just in that gang culture. It's just something that that's always around in county and prison, and I became depending on it. And you know, ever since I got sober. But I was blowing everything. I was blowing all this opportunity. I got in a car crash, got into a lot of trouble. What kind of drugs were everything?

But we had something to do with the East coast West coast connecting because it was at the time Big Ee Pok died. There was a couple of more New York and West Coast beefs going on and being mac Ten met each other and we became brothers. I came out here and shot a movie with him called Thinke of the Water in Inglewood, okay, and they ain't came to my hood. And what's crazy is I never knew there was bloods in New York when I grew up. It wasn't bloods, it wasn't crips, it wasn't none of that.

00:10:31
Speaker 1: He came to my projects and when I say you, all them kids started running outside with the red suits on and hats, and it was like, yo, g oh j That's.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: You're right.

But I don't think you need a license for a gun charge. So is it because you're a felon? When they said that, you was like, yo, everybody can have a gun. And then they like, not you, my man? You national base. At this point, I don't think you're thinking nine to five, right, you think a wrap?

00:15:14
Speaker 2: Yo, this this You're always gonna get to blame.

00:15:17
Speaker 1: Guess what we was talking about a story behind the scenes of you know, we we had sham Guard and Jaylen rose Er also Jalen Roy last night. He's with Jayleen last night here.

00:15:30
Speaker 6: So I asked, my man, sham Guard, Right, there's a guy, you know, I used to coach basketball in the Rucker, one of the big the best coaches ever, actually the best coach of all time. Yeah, six chips. And I get to talk to to sham Guard and I bring up a player. So there was a player who was in high school that was going to the NBA from New York City who I don't know if I should say that right now, because I don't want to.

00:16:03
Speaker 2: He's in I don't know.

00:16:05
Speaker 6: I'll say his name, Richie Parker. Rich Parker one of the best basketball players out of New York. She's supposed to go to the to the NBA. There was no question no doubt that he was doing. Some girl allegedly got raped by some guys he knew, and because he was the star of the basketball team, allegedly she had choosed him. It was like some tupah, I can't rape that girl, but some guys they might have did something too much, and then he caught the blame. So this is what I mean that you know, people could do shit, and it's always our fault if we're famous and were on the forefront, and one day it's crazy because hob I never met a better gentleman in the street basketball league or in the park. To Richie Parker, I never met a nice guy in my life.

But I remember every single time I pull up to my mother's house, I felt like, even to this day, my house is that bitch, right. And I used to pull up to my mother's house just last year because she passed away and I felt like that was the biggest house, the biggest shit.

00:24:51

I was in Florida the other day and he came convisioning me and I didn't even recognize him, you know. But so you think after you got successful he came to visit you. Uh? Yeah, because ever since I've been successful, I've been out of jail. So I've always been in jail my whole life. Did you forgive them for leaving you at two years old? Yeah?

Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is.

00:28:27
Speaker 6: You need a father figure, man to straighten you out, to make you go the right path, to be there for you when you need a man in your life that's why I was in the hood, because I didn't have one. I looked at the homies for that good job. You know, that shit felt good getting in from the homies.

00:28:43
Speaker 1: So that's what I was putting in so much work, you know, good job, good job, good job, you know, chasing a father figure that's gonna let me in the gang bang so much and I realized, you know, I gotta do something different.

00:28:57
Speaker 2: Why they happy for you a homies.

00:29:00
Speaker 1: The homies in the beginning of like my second day out of prison, gave me a strap boom, you know, gave me some money and he's like, come on, let's ride. I'm like, I'm gonna stay right here. What I said, I'm gonna stay home real quick. I was too embarrassed to tell him that I'm gonna be a rapper, you know. And then like a week y'all talking about I'm gonna be a rapper. He's like, you gonna be a rapper. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna be a rapper. He's like, man, you fucking tripping bro. You're a lok in the hood, you know, you're one of the ones. And I was from my hood, but I followed my dream and then once it worked out, they've seen it, you know, and now they embraced it. You know. I feel like I'm the first Latino. They really opened the door toup for Latinos out here in LA to think the rapping is cool. And I do it my own way, like I don't use the N word like, you know, just out of out of respect, you know, for for for the culture.

00:29:50
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm paying my own way.

00:29:53
Speaker 1: You know.

00:30:00
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy is I started rapping.

00:30:03
Speaker 6: I got a favorite album and Soul two Men records with It's cause jealous ones still envy, and I was.

00:30:10
Speaker 1: Out here, probably with Steve Lobelt. We started a promo tour. This would Flow Joe my first record, and we did our Senior Hall. Okay, our Senior Hall was the biggest shit in America. Shot up to Stretch your Arms show and he invited me there. Sidney Hall was like, yo, we got Fat Joe in the house. So I went up there and I performed. I quit the whole promo tour to get back to my block because I'll see me it was the big just to be with my boys and be like yo, I did it.

00:30:45
Speaker 6: So I remember, I went back to New York. The very next day, I pull up to my block in the cab and it's five of my best friends that I grew up since kindergarten. So I'm looking this way and I jump out the car.

00:30:59
Speaker 1: YO end up jumping up and down, and when they turned around, three of them had a jealous face. The other two were jumping.

00:31:08
Speaker 2: Up and down like me, and three of them was looking like fuck got it.

00:31:12
Speaker 6: That's the first time I ever experienced jealous And that's where the name of that album jealous Ones, Envy and jealous Ones Still and became from.

00:31:24
Speaker 1: Because this game, it comes with a lot of envy that hoods she gonna get killed. And I know that, you know, I realized that. So you gotta find a balance between it. But I see through all the fake love. You know, now, since I'm successful, there's there's some of them that are happier of me, and there's some of them. I know they be talking shit. You know, that's how you show them with success. My thing is who cares? Right, God shows you the sober you could see, Yeah, the fat Joe was to get high, I'd be dead broke right now. I'm not kidding you.

00:32:03
Speaker 2: I'm not lying, and.

00:32:04
Speaker 6: The direct correlation between guys who make it and become successful and guys who don't.

00:32:14
Speaker 1: It's drugs and that's the difference. So when I look at Netflix and I see a new documentary by Eddie Murskey and starts in the ninety million dollar mansion, and he's.

00:32:26
Speaker 6: Sitting in there with shipped to the sky and this and this and that, you look at him and say, y'ard, I never got high.

00:32:31
Speaker 2: It was stiff a coach in front of me. They was doing whatever. I ain't do that.

00:32:35
Speaker 6: That's why he's in the ninety million dollar mansion. And then when you see motherfuckers, you be like, damn, man, this guy was the greatest.

00:32:42
Speaker 1: This guy was the best.

00:32:43
