Speaker 3: That's right?

00:01:45
Speaker 2: There, that's twenty four.

00:01:48
Speaker 1: Right, And someone asked him what kind of changed his mental and he said, you know when his daughter Calli was born. But what is fatherhood? How do you feel like fatherhood has made you a better person and a better man?

00:01:57
Speaker 2: You just you know what it really did us? Right, It's like you got to care about other people more than you care about yourself. That's number one. You know, you got these little people and uh it, And I know you know, y'all like me like we're gonna go, you know, all the way out behind ours and so it I look at life in the full spectrum, right, and I say, it's a lot of people violating people out here, right, And I come to that, you know, that fourth in a row where I'm like, well, it couldn't be mine, right, So you see when somebody run up on somebody's son or do this, I'll be like, man, it's gonna be over. So I like, literally, you know, when from that age to even to this day, you know, we forties. Man, we we here. You know what I'm saying. We lived there, you know, pretty pretty long time. But like I tell everybody on any camera as much as I can, like if you play with mine, you're gonna play yourself all the way out because I'm going all the way out. I understand in full what comes with my decision. But my decision was made when it was born. It's like it's it's it. And you know where we're from, man, you know, we had you know, outlets, basket all and wrapping all of that to pull us out, but we still who we are, you know. And then when we come in to a point where we're watching our kids grow and and we're looking around at the world, how it is now like every every day you got you got kids. You know what I'm saying, you got kids, I got kids. Every time my kids leave the house, you know, outside of the one year old, they go three different places. And so we we and trust school programs and teachers and you know that, you know, that type of structure to watch our kids during the day, and we want it. We just want them back home safe at the end of the day. So it's like every day we we you know, throwing our children on the craft table out here into the world. So it's like mind's man, they all I got. You know what I'm saying. I not that I don't care about myself. I love myself, but I love myself even more because I gotta. I want to be there to walk my daughter down the aisle. My son twenty three years old, he still don't. He ain't non adult like you know we was. We was in this. I was in the streets.

00:03:55
Speaker 1: We left life experience because they wasn't out in the streets.

00:04:00
Speaker 2: Not outside at all. I remember my moms used to go to work at the post office boy and wouldn't she a leave at like midnight and wouldn't come back home till ten am. You know that was like Monday through Saturday. So it's like we was just waking up eight years old, making the salami sandwiches and spam and then hitting the block and be going outside and she locked the door. You know what I'm saying.

00:04:19
Speaker 1: Back here, we couldn't be inside, like get outside, you can't come in the hell.

00:04:22
Speaker 2: Man these days, man, you drive by a park man, you see the corn lady she out there, do lo You know what I'm saying, it's just it's just it's a different vibe.

00:04:30
Speaker 3: Man.

00:04:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, what inspired you to get in shape? You've been back in the gym, fucking with Bosson and the rest of us.

00:04:36
Speaker 2: You know what it is, Man's my pops died from a heart attack and in twenty eighteen, right, so that's number one, like that is that's my blood line. That's you know, my old man. So he died from a heart attack sixty five years old. My mom has you know, a pacemaker that's keeping her going every day, and you know she she in the hospital now and she's about to get out of there. But those are my parents, right, so you look at you know, my father died from you know, cardio problems. My mom has you know, cardio history, and so me as their direct link their son. I gotta be intentional about like getting it in so you know I'm in there before I got in there with you. I'm still every day I'm three to five miles just just whether I'm walking and running, I'm doing something. I'm keeping it moving because my grandmother told me before she passed, like you know, when you stop, when you stop moving your body, think you you're chilling. It's over you exactly. So it's like that. So I mean, you know, as we and you know, we athletes, I ain't you know, as good as your well I am.

00:05:39
Speaker 1: But we've been there.

00:05:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, man. But you know, you know, these days we gotta really, we gotta really look in the mirror and get adapted to where we are now in life. And we got to make those make changes, you know what I'm saying. So this is where we're at.

00:05:56
Speaker 4: First day, decided to wrap, and now you pitch yourself, still rapping, and you're still where you at twenty years later.

00:06:04
Speaker 2: When I was young, man, I was just talking shit. I thought I would I thought I would be I never thought I would get old, you know what I'm saying. Like, I was just young and I was going crazy. I remember when I came in a second album, I was like, you know, I'm twenty six, so it's the doves. You know, you're still rapping thirty eight? Ugh, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm forty six. You know what I'm saying, I'm eight past the shit talking. So it's like, but you know what, man, you know what makes it cool these days is to see you know, the clips I think Malice might be like fifty two and pushing like forty eight or something like that. You know, whenever Whole or nas Drop Project projects, they both they yeah, bun, they both fifty. So it's like guys that could really do it are still doing this. So you know, as long as it's open season on a skills on the skill set being you know, top tier, I feel like everybody should do it.

00:06:52
Speaker 4: The state of hip hop, you know, I know me, I look at things a lot of different ways. And you know, even when I came out here, when I was with Loan doing the George for a time, man, you had a chance to talk on the phone.

00:07:01
Speaker 3: About some stuff.

00:07:02
Speaker 4: But the state of hip hop with the social media and a lot of stuff is fake. You know, it's a lot of out list that's giving false information, wrong information, and it's kind of putting a bad image on hip hop where it's not about you know, being the lyricist and your craft no more. It's about all the bullshit that's involved and they were getting famous and hip hop.

00:07:24
Speaker 3: What you think about that? Now?

00:07:25
Speaker 2: I used to love what I love about hip hop and then hate what I hated, But now I kind of just see it from everybody through everybody's lens. You know what I'm saying. It's like, I think my favorite new artist is probably NBA Young Boy, and I don't listen to him all day, but I love that. You know, a nigga like that, as young as he is, got the fan base that he got because he is like Tupac to these little whyans, you know what I'm saying. You can't tell him nothing because when Tupac died, they wasn't even born, bro right, So they don't understand what. They don't understand it how we understand it. So if I'm going coexists, you know with these young casts, I gotta like walk in these shoes a little bit, you know what I'm saying, And if I run into them, then I'm gonna bring them up to speed on where I'm at and how to have longevity and this shit. But I stopped like just hating on certain aspects of hip hop just because it don't you know, just because hip hop don't bend the block on my street every day, don't mean that I you know, I gotta like feel a certain way about it. So I'm just embracing everybody and everything I've just seen this post on Instagram where it was like, you know, like I think Kendrick's tour was like three hundred and something million, and Drake's tour was like three hundred something million, and Usher was three hundred something million, and Breezy was three hundred something million, and then Michael Jackson was like on the second row with like one hundred and sixty five million, you know, gross, like you know, income, and I was just like, it's still it's still money out there to be gotten. Bro, these brought these these dudes just like breaking Mike's records and you know, you know Michael Jackson is to it ain't no bigger than that. So I mean, if you can surpass anything, then Mike has done. You know. It's I think it's all right.

00:09:01
Speaker 4: Shout Out might be favorite with the rapper Rhapsody and Lauren Hill talk about feminism and hip hop.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, feminism and hip hop. It's just funny man, because you know we we came up. It was like you know, Missy and uh and and like even when I was younger, MC light and Corn Latifa and Foxy Brown, little Kim and we we had the money love yeah, money love for sure. We had our uh boss Lady of Raige. You know what I'm saying, Uh, we had these rappers and but we we can count them on two hands, you know what I'm saying. Now, it's they everywhere.

00:09:36
Speaker 3: But I think every doll it's a doll, it's dolls.

00:09:39
Speaker 4: It's little dog, white right dog doll, soft dog, kitty doll, pitbull doll, doll, doll, baby doll, doll, everything.

00:09:48
Speaker 2: You know what I wish though, I wish that I wish it was a little bit more originality with naming yourself something. But again, we we just talked about you just talked about you know, this generation like they see and they just kind of like, you know, stealing car that way, you know what I'm saying. So it's like, Okay, he's little Wayne. Well I'm gonna be a little baby and you know not you know not you know, shooting at nobody. But I mean it's just like if it ain't broke ship, you know, don't try to fix it.

00:10:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's the thing what you just said. I like about a young boy. He authentic itself exactly like nobody. Ain't trying to fit in with nobody. And I think that's why you're having a success, bro, because he's so authentic. Yeah, in the world of copycats, and if you look at it, you know, you know, on a wide scale. Man, he's been through some ship. You know what I'm saying. He got he got some kids too. We all talked about market.

00:10:40
Speaker 2: I think he'll be a young boy. Might got all three of us be combined. But uh, you know, but that's like my pops. My pops was I'm like the I'm like somewhere in the middle upper half of like eighteen children. You know what I'm saying, a lot of people don't know that rolling he was a boy, that it was a dirt rock boy. He wasn't rolling picked up more dirty he went. Man. But yeah, man, So it's like, you know when I see the you know, Nick Cannons and the NBA young Boy, Stefan Diggs and all of that, Yeah, I just be feeling like, Yeah, I could just keep on going. Man, as a man is easy. But what where I got to be better at? We got to be better at as men is you got to have conversation with your woman or these women and get out in front of you know, the bullshit and let them know, Hey, I just want to, you know, you know, put the seed in you. I'm trying to like make sure that you know, my legacy is spread out so if you come to some type of agreement, you know, which I'm sure Nick Cannon has. I see how Nick Cannon ten places on Christmas Boy with elaborate photo shoots boy clean. So it's like, yeah, what we got. And I think, you know, for both men and women, you know, in relationships, whether it's serious or whether it's batonic, or whether it's like just chill, you know, we just like sneaky Lincoln whatever, you just kind of got to get in front of it.

00:11:59
Speaker 4: Man.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: I remember how bad lying to people really or lying the women really hurt. And then I understood, you know as I got older, like if you just tell the truth, ship, you know, your girl might be under a little bit more understanding man. So it's like, yeah, we gotta be.

00:12:14
Speaker 1: We had a deep guy on this with Kurt Franklin, me and him dog and who was it Dion Cole, Yeah, Dion Cole just having that conversation and big boy, big boy, Yeah, I was it was It was dope. That was a dope conversation.

00:12:26
Speaker 3: I like that.

00:12:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't be around Kurt Franklin without singing stomp in my head. So that's what I was doing. I was trying to talk and then like come on, but yeah, hey, Kirk is a wonderful, wonderful human being man, even forgetting us together. I felt like I watched a lot of them, you know what I'm saying, A lot of those uh you know his shows, ours hit a little different, you know, and I just felt like I was surrounded by the realists of the realist and we had a we had a good chat, man and that food.

00:13:00
Speaker 1: You just had a chef there. Why you're talking.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: Man fire.

00:13:04
Speaker 4: We talked about, you know, like the state of hip hop, but internet trolls, Like it's a lot of people that have a lot of say so in hip hop.

00:13:12
Speaker 3: That don't even wrap you know what I'm saying.

00:13:14
Speaker 4: You got you got guys like academics who say things and spill things between rappers, but at the end of the day, you're not even a rapper, you know what I'm saying. And it's a lot of people that have opinion that's not proven. They haven't really done nothing. What you think about so many people having opinions in hip hop and they haven't done nothing in hip hop to warrant that the opinion.

00:13:34
Speaker 2: I think, you know, sometimes I just think that it's a goofy time, like they don't A lot of this ship ain't built on principle, right, and they don't have to be built on no more. Again, before I get to slandering anybody, I just gotta understand what it is. If you understand what it is, man, and you look at it and you be like, you know, like move around, everybody can't be something. Yeah, but then you know, you know, for for academics or anybody else in media that is you know, doing that kind of like cognitive reporting and not really you know, raised on super Street principles. You just got to like know that ship. One day somebody might not be with on the bullshit that you want, you know what I'm saying. So it's like that's why, that's that's what I'm saying. So it's like and it ain't even just him, it's just it's a lot of that going around, and it's a lot of cloud thing. I guess that's how you climb the social ladder today today. But it's I mean, I know for sure it's still it's still niggas out there that will run into you and run run you over. So I mean again, I'm not here to tell nobody what to do. I'm just like you know, a lot of them know not to play with my name because it's like you know, I'm not saying I'm uh, you know, Debo or Incredible Hope, but we're not like it. But when I see you, we're don't address it because I lose sleep over, not stand in tend on how I feel. I'm not doing it. That's not how I raised my kids, and they're not. They're not.

00:14:56
Speaker 3: They not.

00:14:56
Speaker 2: I raised my men, my sons to be stand up men. But like all the you know, all the bullshit and all the street shit or whatever. I just tell him to call me if I told you know, my middle son is the most like me. But I tell them, bro, you don't. You don't engage in road rage. You know what I'm saying. You be patient with that. If you feel like somebody is you know, on you, and you feel like you don't like the situation, you feel any type of energy, y'all, just call me, bro. I'll pulled right up on you. We don't get to it. You know what I'm saying, you can go on and push off. So it's like, yeah, with me, just don't play with me. I'm not gonna play with you like that. I'm not from that era. And a lot of people say, oh, man, you know you're almost fifty years old. I don't give it, and I could be eighty. I'm gonna see you about the bullshit, bro. And that's just how it is. That's how it was raised by my uncle, my daddy, my even my mama, my mama. Anybody know my mom and my mama's well known all throughout La man, especially you know, growing up and being from Hoover and being tied in the streets and being a club promoter and owning clubs and different stuff like my mama. I watched my mam and Dan there trying to blow my daddy's face off broad day, So it's like, I'm not my family. Don't play no games.

00:15:58
Speaker 4: Basically, what we were saying to y'all out there is do your homework for your report ship and stop worrying about being first and being wrong.

00:16:06
Speaker 3: Get your ship right, man? Was it?

00:16:07
Speaker 4: I me the better better back in the day than it is now. You know, like we had to source magazine.

00:16:13
Speaker 2: Because I was looking. You know, you would get it and you would be like, oho, got five mics right now, And then when I came in, I was like, I want, I want my five mikes. And I don't know if I ever got five. I might have got four and a half, but I think I would have got five if I wasn't beefing with the owners of the magazine. So that was like, it's like always some crazy shit going on with me, bro, And I look back on it and I just be like, why, little bro, Like you know what I'm saying.

00:16:39
Speaker 3: What was that? Though?

00:16:40
Speaker 1: Not to cut you off, because I think it's athletes, Like we're always in it so you don't have time to kind of survey and understand what you do. But when you kind of step back now you're at an age now where you're not as rapping as much as you were when you're younger, At what point did you kind of start looking back like, damn, that was?

00:16:55
Speaker 3: That was?

00:16:56
Speaker 2: Damn. When I when I think about when I think about how much how much money I missed out on, and I think about how many corporate opportunities that I missed out on because I couldn't. I just couldn't check the fuck up about some gangster shit, you know what I'm saying. And uh, But at the end of the day, man, I love where I'm at right now, and I'm righting not writing a lot of those wrongs. But I feel like I'm walking into these rooms now and you know, I'm me and forties and i'm and I'm well spoken, well dressed, and I'm sitting down with the guys that really you know what I'm saying, put the put them yachts on that water, and we having, you know, bigger conversations about bigger things. So in the next two three years with me, you're gonna start seeing me, you know, kind of get what's old to me.

00:17:41
Speaker 1: It's funny too, because me and my homies talking, if we're talking skill set. To me, you're one of the greatest that ever did it. But I don't think you And this is my question to you, is it. Do you feel like you don't get the respect or the love because of maybe the way you've acted towards certain people or in certain situations.

00:17:58
Speaker 4: Today today the Top three live today, I.

00:18:02
Speaker 2: Feel like and I appreciate you for that, but it's like you know, I grew up you know, doing both. You know, my my my hoop dreams didn't lead me to where Tyson's and BD and Gil Gills did and those niggas I came up hooping with. So it's like when it come to basketball, they'll tell you, y'all, Chuck Is you know, he wanted them once, but he would just fight get throughout the game. And you know what I'm saying, shit like that. But you know, y'all, you know you guys like made it to that level. And I tell people all the time, bro, people compare like say I watched people like try to slander your game or your game or say you could have did this. I'm like, you don't know who you talking to when it comes to these basketball players, you know what I'm saying. And so it's it's it's the same thing. Fans are fickle, and they gonna say they're gonna do like you know, like we said, the internety gonna follow suit.

00:18:52
Speaker 3: Right.

00:18:52
Speaker 2: They see the first comment and they want to be funny, you know with that shit. But I guarantee you right, and I say this on all these camera it's a lot of them y'all getting real money it's like four cameras. Now now y'all got like twelve. All the smoke, baby, but yeah, every rapper right alive, every rapper alive, that's one of them. Guys will tell you that I'm not to be fucked with. And you can start at the top. You can go from hole down to dot. You can call Drake, you could talk to J Cole, You could talk to anybody. Bro. You can ask NBA young boy if you want to go that low. I cannot be fucked with when I'm serious, bro, And anybody knows that my does the antics get it getting the way of my skill set, of course, but I'm a jokester. A lot of people take it, you know, too serious. Like I'm a comedian as well. We joke all the time, you know what I'm saying. But I think that people don't know how to you know, it might be my fault. I don't give them an opportunity to differentiate the two. But the thing about that is, I don't give a shit about that. Like I wake up in the mirror and I like, I'm gonna tell y'all both y'all my brothers, man, I'm gonna tell y'all I'm gonna give be one hundred percent transparent. I wake up in the mirror, Bro, I'm in love with who I see in the mirror and that's it. And it don't go no further than that. So it ain't a motherfucker on earth that could tell me nothing about me. You know what I'm saying. I don't let my mama do it. I don't let my kids do it. I don't let my girl do it. I don't let nobody tell me about me. Man, you can make a suggestion, but you're not gonna walk me down out of my you know, out of my you know the steps I got to be here. Bro, I'm a wonderful human being. Bro, I'm a wonderful father, wonderful family member. I'm one of the greatest rappers that ever did it. And any rapper that says different, I'm gonna I'm gonna put them in a lyrical choke hold today, not tomorrow. We ain't backing out. I ain't doing none of that. Hey, Hey, but you know this, Look, I'm both of y'all. When do the rappers say I'm not who I am? Any of them, any of them whole, ain't gonna tell you that bro, that's the top of the top when we're talking about somebody who's acclimated like you know that on that level.

00:21:01
Speaker 1: And that's the thing too. I mean to to kind of cross it over to basketball with me and him. Obviously the accolades and all the All Star appearances he could have got for ship, but when you respect it by your peers, it doesn't really matter what the outside world has to say because they don't understand what it tech to get there to begin with.

00:21:14
Speaker 2: And I've seen Kobe talk about both y'all, you know what I'm saying, And.

00:21:16
Speaker 3: That's you know, one of the don't get a little better than that to me.

00:21:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I seen Kobe out his mouth talk about both y'all, And so for me, I've seen Hole out his mouth talk about me, hole discy, and I'm still here, you know what I'm saying. So it's like, man, I love I love rap, I love sports, I love entertainment. I love anything that elevates, you know, my people as a whole. It gives us the opportunity to be better humans. Man. And like we started, you know, fatherhood is at the top of that list.

00:21:49
Speaker 4: That's this line for us from whatever on gainst Gris. If I ain't the best rapper from content, it's gotta be Kendrick. And if Kendrick is the best rapper, tell him step up and ended.

00:21:58
Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically it just goes back two minutes to what we were just talking about, like, if I'm not the best number one, let's get this out the way. If you don't think you're the best at what you do, why doing it? Why are you doing it? Who are you? And I would never if i was Matt Barnes and I'm on the court with Kobe, It's no way I'm telling Kobe he's better than me, letting him think that he's better than me. I'm not gonna go home and look my sons in the eye and be like, yeah, Kobe's just better than your dad. Like, who does that?

00:22:29
Speaker 5: Bro?

00:22:29
Speaker 2: What type of man does that? So Number one, Kendrick came up right. I embraced him when he came up. I helped him and Top Dog get into a better position, whether it was you know, like I'm not taking responsibility for their riots. Like top Dog really grinded top Dog Entertainment out. Kendrid really wanted to be where he is today and I knew we would get there. I was just a help in hand, you know what I'm saying. But so all I'm saying is that I'm the best rapper from Compton. You know what I'm saying. And if I'm not so, just spar with me. I'm your bro. Just spark with me, you know what I'm saying. But it's like I said, no rapper and I'm not threatening nobody or saying that I'm saying. It's about rap. I'm gonna see niggas and beat you up like it's just and I'm not talking about Kindred. I'm talking about you everybody on the broad scale. It's just like if you can outrap me, outrap me because I'm here and I know that it's just not possible because I'm not gonna stop until I see quote unquote blood. You know on the microphone.

00:23:32
Speaker 3: People are scared of confidence.

00:23:34
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are so not you know, just don't have confidence in themselves. When they see somebody with confidence is like it offends them, you know what I mean. And you know I see that a lot and you just being yourself, you know what I mean. And that's sucks because the people that don't have confidence.

00:27:00
Speaker 3: Man.

00:27:00
Speaker 2: They be like, yo, when you're gonna you know when you're gonna call game time on this album? Bro, we been had it and I'm like, man, I'm gonna just keep recording because something happens when I get deep into like a classic vibe when creating albums. And I really really got a lot of love and adoration from my my legacy and what it means to me. I come from, you know the same place y'all come from. Music. Well, we had to see the book, and I will put all my jay z's on on one page and all my noads on one page and do it like that. So it's like when I think about, you know, all of my albums and my projects, man, the ones that are really classic, they gotta be able to go next to the you know, the previous, taking.

00:27:42
Speaker 3: Away the pain of the past. Yeah.

00:27:47
Speaker 2: So the mixtape. We did the mixtape in a few days, man, and we just threw it out because my fans, bro, they you know, they they tough on me. They want the you know, the documentary three now, and I just need a little bit more time, man, So I just put out a mixtape and then they start banging on me again, like, yeah, we love it.

00:28:05
Speaker 3: I'll give you a couple more money.

00:28:07
Speaker 2: I'm still ding sometime, I promise you, man, I'm not gonna let nobody down with this next album.

00:28:13
Speaker 1: Man, where if you, obviously, to survive in this game, you have to grow. Where do you feel like you've grown the most lyrically in music?

00:28:21
Speaker 2: I think the pockets that I'm in, the way that i'm the way that i'm the way that I'm able to get in and out of these pockets on beats. Now, It's like you you know, you got a lot of rappers right where and not to you know, taint. You know what they do, but they you got a lot of rappers to sound exactly how they're gonna sound every single time you hear them. Bro, it ain't no beat. I can't wrap on. It ain't no style. I can't go into it out of And I mean I can do everybody else, but everybody can't do me. And I guarantee you one thing that and anybody that knows me knows this. I'm the only nigga and hip hop that can say any fucking thing, and everybody just gonna be like, oh, that's game. I can say anything, bro, anything and it's gonna get chalked up. I can't be canceled or none of that.

00:29:06
Speaker 3: Bro.

00:29:07
Speaker 2: I can say anything, but I'm not but I can't.

00:29:10
Speaker 1: I'm past that, but I can still do it. Yeah, Man, DJ Drama being able to work with him, what was that experience?

00:29:15
Speaker 4: Uh?

00:29:16
Speaker 2: Drama, Man, I always wanted a drama tape. That's just one of those things, you know what I'm saying. I always wanted to sign Jail Roder Jersey. It's just I got I got my bucket list, man, I got my bucket list. But yeah, I always want to do a Drama tape. And it's funny because sometimes you have friends in the industry and and out the industry, but you never really get to work with them. And so me and Drama always said that if the opportunity presented itself before we were both done, that you know, we would get it in. So we did, man, And it's like, Drama ain't really dropping tapes every day, you know, he getting money from all of it. Yeah, because you're getting money.

00:29:52
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago.

00:29:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so he hes not doing a lot. So I was grateful that he was just open to it. And he as soon as I sent it, you know, he did his thing and sent it back, and then I sent him another one. He was like, we're going again. I'm like yeah, And so he sent that back and yeah, we just threw it out man, and people people love the mixtape.

00:30:10
Speaker 3: That's dope.

00:30:11
Speaker 1: So the documentary three is loading when you sit here again and Jack kind of asked us, but twenty years ago you dropped your first project. Yeah, to think you're still here as a as a rapper, as a man, and you.

00:30:25
Speaker 3: Didn't have been in a lot of shit. Bro.

00:30:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I mean, what do you when you look back on those twenty with what comes to mind?

00:30:30
Speaker 2: Second time? Been answer this question? And like, I don't know the last few years when I was at when I was young, man, I had my I had my first son, right, and I loved him to death, man. And then I had my second son. I loved him to death. But I was coming outside every day trying to die, to be honest, like I just I didn't care. I'm from I'm from I'm from a family, and I'm from a neighborhood, and I'm from a city where the inevitable is that you die on this type of time. And so I really it's hard for me to get people to understand the seriousness of what I'm saying when I'm what I'm saying and shit, But I understand life in total right, so I know that no one leaves here alive, right, So I didn't care at that time. I didn't care when it was Tuesday, Thursday, next week, I didn't care. And so I'm always going to go to the max. And it was like that with you know, my siblings, my brothers, they knew like I got older brothers, you know what I'm saying, and you know, they taught me the way. But once I came of age, everybody run a neighborhood and know if you came to get me, it was like it was lights out. It was serious because I'm coming around there and I'm like ultimately tripping because I had lost you know, my you know, my my one of my favorite siblings, which was my brother Javon, when I was thirteen, he was sixteen. And from then I was just like, oh okay, people people, people kill it like this shit seriously, like y'all take y'all taking from me. I want to take something back. And that's just the mentality of you know, lost souls when you come from a you know, the type of family dynamic where you know your mom is working and she ain't really there emotionally, but she I had guest jeans and Jordan's but my mom wasn't with that I love you every single day. But my dad told me I love you every single day, but it was behind the glass, you know what I'm saying in the pans, So it's like I didn't and my brothers was already like off in the streets. One was a crib, one was a blood. They was just running, you know, off and running with the gang banging. So it's like I just I fell into it, you know, I just rolled into it like how I was supposed to. I got tired of getting banged on. And I'm from an era in Compton where I was. I can remember vividly walking to school in the second grade, except this is seven years old and a nigga that was like nineteen. It's like where you from, little nigga, and I'd be like, nigga, fuck you, like literally that's how it used to be. And I used to walk a mile to school with my with my five year old sister. Bro, Like I'm from those times. I wouldn't even let my fist year old daughter walk down the street in Santa Monica the school, you know what I'm saying. So it was just it's just a different time, man, And people, you know, they'll watch this and they just don't understand ere are we from?

00:33:00
Speaker 1: Well the documentary three have any production from any big people you've worked with in the past.

00:33:05
Speaker 2: Or you know what I tapped into, uh, you know, Timberland and Swizz and Mike and Keys. They man too. They are dynamic duo. Bro, they don't have no type of were just gonna do this our set. They just like, man, let's make the best album possible. And you know they you know, they did Nipsey's you know, Grammy uh winn an album and they just they got Nipsey just is putting out another album and they got you know, production on there and their problem, Bro, who is really the unspoken hero behind what we're doing. Man, it's just dope to be able to work with him. A lot of people don't know the problem is one of the most smart behind the scenes, in front of the scenes lyric lyrically, He's just dope, bro. Get out there too, yeah, man, Yeah, he trying to pull me out there, man like man.

00:33:56
Speaker 3: You know set nasty.

00:34:00
Speaker 1: Man just literally getting Oh that's it. The two things don't work together.

00:34:06
Speaker 2: Little and old.

00:34:09
Speaker 1: Be in the gym at the four in the morning though, getting it there. So Drake is Drake still the most powerful artist in hip hop?

00:34:14
Speaker 2: Yeah? I feel I feel like Drake is the most powerful artists in hip hop. The reason being, and it's not to knock you know, anything to Kendrick that I think Kendrick is doing amazing, bro, Like he just uh topple jay Z for the most Grammys. That that is the fake that nobody else, obviously nobody else has been able to do. To have twenty six Grammys is a serious accolade, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, but Drake, I mean, I feel like Drake, you can't lose bro He Broke, Beatles, Wreckers, Michael Jackson. He been Drake for I don't know, I don't know how long man. Women love him. We gonna ride to it because it's smooth. And so I'm anticipating that album like I just anticipated Cole. I'm anticipating what Kendrick does next. I think Baby King about to drop. I'm I'm gonna run Jae to that review that I'm just I think hip hop is dope. And and there was never a point where I thought that if J. Cole saw Kendrick, they would square up, Kendrick saw Drake, they would square up, or if Drake saw J. Cole they were square up. So I was just really in tune with the hip hop aspect of it. I wanted everybody to spar it out because you want to see you know if that's the Big three, I want to see y'all big three it out, you know what I'm saying. So I was a little hurt when Cole backed out, but then he put out the album. I liked the album.

00:35:27
Speaker 1: You did a breakdown on your ig not through Have you been doing that for a minute, just kind of.

00:35:31
Speaker 2: Like Cole's album is the first time I ever did that publicly, But I think that's something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been doing I do it. I do it the same way. I listened as a fan. I listened as a hater, and then I listened as the game. And that's the only way that Yeah, that's the only way that I'm going to be.

00:35:46
Speaker 3: Niggas here can admit that.

00:35:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you right, that's the side you leave.

00:35:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but see a lot of people just listen to it one way. Fans listen to it as a fan, so they gonna dit right all the way. I'll tell you, just no flaws. I hate it. Gonna be like, ah, that ship trash. They're gonna listen to it all and call it trash no matter what they hear, you know what I'm saying. But when you're an artist, you know you have a different. It's different here, you know, you have a different perspective. So I like to listen to it three times and then give it a break for a week and then come back one last fourth time, just to make sure that I ain't do the wrong thing. So yeah, man, I gave Coles albums spinning. It's a lot of dope elements. Me personally, I would have put this there, move shit around, but like, it ain't my fucking album. And he could do the same thing when I dropped the DOC three. But it's just all like, you know how you feel about your project. So it was dope to be able to do that for Cold. I think the next album I'm excited to do that for is Baby King and then Iceman. So I hope you know I want Drizzy to be his best Drizzy.

00:36:44
Speaker 3: Because I think I just got some type of feeling.

00:36:46
Speaker 2: Man, yeah, Ice, well.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: He waiting, Man, he's not playing.

00:36:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, man got too.

00:36:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah you gotta go yeah, shout out back was.

00:37:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine getting paid from backwards now.

00:37:03
Speaker 3: Man, listen, man, you gotta do is you gotta tell me you're paying me?

00:37:07
Speaker 2: And I got shout out king, Paul, tell me, just tell me.

00:37:11
Speaker 3: I got you shout out backwards again.

00:37:13
Speaker 2: King Paul, what's up with y'all?

00:37:15
Speaker 1: Who to talk to him?

00:37:16
Speaker 3: Gonna see it?

00:37:17
Speaker 2: Yeah? Those my guys, man, the super Bowl?

00:37:22
Speaker 3: What I'm smoking? By the way, you get this money right there, right here? Those backwoods shout out what you got over there?

00:37:31
Speaker 1: You might as well throw on you know what.

00:37:33
Speaker 3: Look the first time, come on, man, is the first time? Yeah, shout out Steeze the smoke.

00:37:44
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie man, Seve Steeze's seeing the young game do.

00:37:47
Speaker 1: What he do?

00:37:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember them boys pulled up what I pulled out?

00:38:00
Speaker 3: Shit ease?

00:38:02
Speaker 2: He was like shit.

00:38:06
Speaker 1: Super Bowl coming back to LA in twenty eight, No, actually twenty seven right and reportedly jay Z last year of his contract with the NFL. Obviously there was mixed feelings. I never I don't know if I heard what you thought about it, but obviously you not being included in Dre's run a couple of years ago. What are your thoughts on that and has it changed it all? Because you also saw Wheezy didn't get a chance to perform in New Orleans. What is your thoughts kind of where that stands and what is your motivation coming into next super Bowl, that's up.

00:38:35
Speaker 3: That thought that that's up.

00:38:36
Speaker 2: I feel like super Bowls and halftime performances in certain cities should represent and represent for those artists who made those cities, you know, like Pop on and on and if we're talking about you know, jay Z, you know, running it, but I'm not jay Z, and I had to I had to put myself in his shoes, and then I had to put myself in Dre's shoes and be you know a little bit more adote about it and just say, hey, man, this is what they want to do. I feel like, you know, I feel like myself yg like a few others should have been included in that. But you know, uh M was there not to slight him. You know, Queen Mary j was there, not to slight her. And you know, of course Dog and Dre was there, and Kendrick was there. But I felt like it's la you know what I'm saying. I know for sure that they're not gonna put you know, if they do one in New York, you know's gonna be like, look, we're gonna do Nas the Fat Joe and you know, blah blah blah. But yeah, man, I just you know, at the end of the day. Man, I just watched Bad Bunny.

00:39:35
Speaker 3: Do his thing. Oi Oi.

00:39:36
Speaker 2: You know I heard a thousand olays that I appreciated it. Man. So yeah, man, I'm just in a bag where man, I I'm enjoying my life and I'm watching other people enjoy their as well.

00:39:46
Speaker 4: If you had a decision besides yourself, who would you like to see perform the Super Bowl?

00:39:52
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:39:52
Speaker 2: Chris Brown. Chris Who don't want to see a back flipping, light skinned flying through the clouds. Maybe it gotta be brazy, man, I want to see Chris Brown. Because we're talking about performers. I put him up there with Michael Jackson every single time, and people sometimes like, oh, you'll never be Michael jack nigga, Like it's one of those people you said, the nigga you can't moonwalk telling Chris Brown what he can be. But Chris, he don't like the He's like, I'm a fan of Michael and I appreciate it, but I'm Chris Brown and I love that too. But for me, nigga, I ain't Chris Brown and I love Michael Jackson. We all grew up to Mike, you know, he the king of pop and then Chris gotta be like right there with him, man, because as far as performing, if you ever watch Chris Brown perform, right and he and he in his mid thirties now he's still doing the backflips and doing the same shit. Yeah, yeah, and he can who I ain't you know, I ain't never seen Aaron Hall. I don't want to smoke big dumb.

00:40:51
Speaker 1: L Russell, someone we had on the show a while ago. Really behind the scenes, independent hustling, built his audience, just signed a rock nation, kind of changing the game in the streaming area.

00:41:03
Speaker 3: What do you thought?

00:41:03
Speaker 1: What have you liked about what you've seen him do, not only on the music side, but on the business side.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: I look at it like this. You could have your barbecue truck in the hood, right, everybody know you got the fire barbecue. It's stack Jack five barbecue. Everybody in the hood love a barbecue. And you come to a point where, you know, Walmart is like, hey, man, we want to carry your barbecue sauce, and you're like, damn, I got to talk to my family about that. You know this, We've been in my people. You go talk to your people and they like excited for you and happy for you that you're about to be in every hood and every Walmart. We're gonna get to stack five barbecue sauce, you know from Walmart. But I live in Ohio and I'm not from where you're from. Man, I think go get it. I think he did enough grinding in his backyard and he put on and showed you show other artists how to be independent, and I think that's worth something. And I think he went to get that.

00:41:55
Speaker 1: Anybody know what type of deal or what type I heard his distribution, but I don't really know that for conceeds of it. Yeah, well, because you remember the first time he said Jay came with some bullshit.

00:42:05
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Oh no, some of all.

00:42:07
Speaker 1: I mean rock Nation came with some bullshit. So you know this time, I mean, he had all the power in the world because he had his analytics behind him.

00:42:14
Speaker 2: And you're talking about confidence. Boy, you can't, Hey, you can't tell the Russell He ain't fucking ilb be sure ninety three niggas right, l Russell walking around like he got Matt hair. He walking around like he got Matt hair, Kobe game, and he's tall as Jeannie. You can't tell that you cannot tell the Russell ship and he can't. When I first met the Russell he was like, oh, what's up, Jason. I'm like, Nigga, I'm the game. He didn't care nothing about that, bro. But yeah, man, I love Bro, I love I love Bron. I love what he's doing.

00:42:56
Speaker 1: Russell.

00:42:57
Speaker 3: Man, that's the homie streaming number. Lawsuit are streaming fake fake.

00:43:02
Speaker 2: That's why I don't get I don't get excited. You ain't gotta scream me. We gotta get like like what Cod doing with the physicals and getting out there with the fans. What was really hard is the two fans that he let roll with him, you know what I'm saying.

00:43:14
Speaker 3: And when.

Speaker 2: That's top tier, real hip hop ship, I love it. Man. I was like, Yo, i'ma have to back to pull up in their polo. You know, school schoop a couple of bot throws up and rode to the album. But yeah, man, like that the streams, Bro, I'm not I would you know what I was going for the cat for a man, I was like, damn, streaming like a motherfucker, And it got to a point where I was like, Nah, this is ridiculous. It's no way that these guys just streaming like this and they at the top of the game, and then other niggas just like really amazing, ain't doing nowhere close to that. I was like, yeah, it's just the bag, you know what I'm saying. It's it's kind of like the Payo little but on a different scale because you could really kind of hide it behind these bots. And it's a nigga in India right now out damn their ass naked with draws on with a thousand.

00:44:03
Speaker 3: Phones down.

00:44:07
Speaker 2: You over there listening like I just album, yeah, but no that ship cap bro so.

00:44:20
Speaker 4: Apple Music just wiped two million streams billion, two billion streams. Excuse me that turned out to be fake, which is crazy. That's a lot of that's a lot of art we know and listen to.

00:44:33
Speaker 2: That was Cap Yeah, it's uh yeah, I seen it, man, And I was like, you know, it's one of the things where you know, remember when when Jordan hit Biron Russell ass at the freak though line. I was like, I got on my knees, like you bitch ass niggas like they taking y'all ship. Yeah, but that's that's what you get, man. You can't you shouldn't. I mean, you can, but it's like you you shouldn't cheat this ship, man, you know what I'm saying, Like if if it's only you.

00:44:57
Speaker 3: Know, not good, if you got to cheat it, that's ad.

00:45:00
Speaker 2: You can't. I can't. I can't lay down at night and feel good about that. You know what I'm saying. I ain't never want to. I had to cheat code of Mike Tyson punch Out. But that's the only time in country Nigga down up.

00:45:10
Speaker 5: Down, left, right, left right, being select start boy was in there. Mama, you want food?

00:45:22
Speaker 3: Nah?

00:45:25
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:45:25
Speaker 2: Well yeah, other than that, man, like, you know, cheating on a high level. You know that ship is whack.

00:45:29
Speaker 3: Man AI and music AI artists.

00:45:31
Speaker 2: Hey, before we get to that, let me ask y'all question. Yeah, I know, yeah, how y'all feel about being college athletes and going through the struggle and then niggas getting these nil deals in college before they even hit the game, man, and then so then when they get drafted, it's kind of you know, these kids.

00:45:50
Speaker 1: They take their foot off the gas. Yeah yeah, I think Jack went to the league, set the league, But you know what I mean, I was an All American in two sports and I couldn't imagine what kind of money I used to get the me and Ray used to get the twenty five hundred perl graand you couldn't tell us shit. That shit was gone in three days two days in the West World. Yeah, but I just feel like it, you know. And I'm not mad because we've always wanted players to get money. But to me, when you're getting these five hundred or two fifty five hundred million, couple million, like, it's only natural to take your foot off the gas at a young age, like because pros take their foot off the gas when they get paid. So to me, it's just like, I just wish more shit would come with that money, more education, more structure, more understanding of yeah whatever, you get half of that as old back next year.

00:46:31
Speaker 3: I just think that it's too much of the Wild West.

00:46:34
Speaker 1: But I don't have as much issue with the money as I do with the age of these motherfuckers that are trying to play college basketball. You think a twenty six year old, twenty six, twenty seven years old motherfuckers gonna make it bro They went, but they went pro and now they're trying to come back to college. And let's saying that because you have sons. Yeah, I'm saying that because I have sons. But it's just I don't want to see now.

Yeah it was crazy man, But yeah, man, I watched Vince age age, like you know, Vince's hoop career reminds me and how he went out right on his own type of time remind me of Lennox Lewis, you know what I'm saying, Like Namis Lewis ain't go out with the Manchu and can't remember his name like he was just like you know what, I'm done enough enough. It's how Bud Crawford just kind of sat it down like it ain't super smart, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, man, Vince is one of those guys.

00:55:37
Speaker 2: If anything, I like how you rolled up to the first game, man in the old school, with that back.

I'll say, you just got there, you know, yes. And I like to think a few of my words is you know why you drop doing his thing?

00:56:15
Speaker 1: But I think it's dope for us to be able to be in a position where at any time we can give each other's kids the game yet to tell me we can say the same ship and he could say it's a register, you know what I mean. So to be able to have that kind of circle where Elijah can reach, you know, because I talked to him not too long ago. And to have a circle where that your fathers, that the fathers have built, where we can pour back into these kids, whether they are our kids or not, I think that's really important.
