Speaker 1: put to my closer to your face. Yeah, he's the
4:43
Speaker 1: first one put me in the Big Boys studio. That's
4:47
Speaker 1: when Pete Pablo was over there. I remember when Pete
4:50
Speaker 1: was under that was a very weird. Yeah situation, but ship,
4:54
Speaker 1: you know, it never made sense to me. Nah. Nah,
4:57
Speaker 1: he thought he was Tupac or something like Yeah, because
5:00
Speaker 1: there was like that era when it was that double
5:03
Speaker 1: XL cover with Corrupt Eastwood was crooked eye on that
5:07
Speaker 1: cover and the left eye. Yeah I'm talking, I'm talking.
5:11
Speaker 1: That was before that was that had to be two
5:12
Speaker 1: thousand and one. Yeah, that was way before the first
5:15
Speaker 1: got out, right, And so you met him kind of
5:17
Speaker 1: like that kind of two thousand and five, so that
5:19
Speaker 1: had kind of already fallen apart, and he had had
5:22
Speaker 1: I think, I think, really when I started hanging out
5:26
Speaker 1: over there, Corrupt was over there. So I kind of
5:29
Speaker 1: met Shug when Corrupt was there. You know what I mean,
5:32
Speaker 1: because I used to hang with Roscoe and Tone all
5:34
Speaker 1: of White. Remember, of course Roscoe Rosco was so fire.
5:39
Speaker 1: That was hard on the intro on Streets as a mother, bro,
5:42
Speaker 1: come on, That's what made me want to cor And
5:45
Speaker 1: when I who's that song called? When I called shots
5:48
Speaker 1: out here? I know that full words. Oh my god,
5:53
Speaker 1: for bar that was the that was one of the
5:56
Speaker 1: most left on albums ever. Corrupt Streets is a mother
5:59
Speaker 1: and that fucking Roscoe verse. He set the whole It
6:01
Speaker 1: was track one. He set the whole tone for the
6:04
Speaker 1: rest of the project. I remember thinking, like, Yo, Rosco's next,
6:08
Speaker 1: and then I didn't. It was my age though, I'm like,
6:10
Speaker 1: damn that food my age. When I first met, I'm like,
6:13
Speaker 1: we the same age. He caught that, Like yo, he
6:15
Speaker 1: caught that smooth sailing record. I was like, oh, it's
6:17
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. But then he was on Girls.
6:21
Speaker 1: He was on Girls all Paul, So you were hanging
6:24
Speaker 1: out with the YA dudes hanging out with YA. But
6:26
Speaker 1: I wasn't rapping though, so they kind of gave me
6:28
Speaker 1: the motivation of ship. Man, I'm hanging with these and
6:30
Speaker 1: these every day. They could do it, I could do it,
6:32
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I always was in
6:34
Speaker 1: the cut trying to write or trying to put it together,
6:36
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And yeah, well so when
6:39
Speaker 1: I guess when that kind of fell apart of everything
6:43
Speaker 1: over there, you know, this dismantled. It came about like
6:47
Speaker 1: two more years later and then I just fell in.
6:49
Speaker 1: But I never really like introduced the one on one
6:51
Speaker 1: with Sugar, like I'm you know what I'm saying, whoo whoop,
6:54
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. But about two thousand
6:57
Speaker 1: and five came around and I introduced myself and we
7:00
Speaker 1: had our one on one and then he started come
7:03
Speaker 1: telling me to come to the studio. How do you think, like,
7:05
Speaker 1: how would you describe Sugar as a person based on
7:08
Speaker 1: your relationship with nothing as as everybody think he is,
7:12
Speaker 1: He's just a big old cool nigga. To me, one
7:15
Speaker 1: of the coolest niggas I ever met, Because we hear
7:17
Speaker 1: all this crazy shit and then you hear people who
7:19
Speaker 1: like really know they're like, man, Sugar is one of
7:21
Speaker 1: the realists, Like one of the realist, coolest niggas one
7:24
Speaker 1: of the I mean the stories he'll tell you. You You
7:27
Speaker 1: feel me to even sit sit in the circle and
7:29
Speaker 1: listen to these stories he'll tell you, and it's just like, yeah,
7:32
Speaker 1: so after after watching, after knowing him, and then watching
7:35
Speaker 1: all these fucking weird ass ships that they got on
7:39
Speaker 1: TV about Tupac and Biggie and Shug this and Sugar that,
7:42
Speaker 1: I'd be like, damn, that's they just got the whole
7:45
Speaker 1: ship on top of sug. It's just like, yeah, there's
7:47
Speaker 1: all this they drag his name through the mud like that.
7:50
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like in that situation, with the
7:52
Speaker 1: Tupac Biggie situation, obviously both of them dying, there had
7:56
Speaker 1: to be you gotta you gotta figure out who the
7:59
Speaker 1: bast is in the public made Sugar the bad guy
8:02
Speaker 1: and that yeah, because because there was nobody there. I mean, look,
8:07
Speaker 1: both both murders are still the angel exactly made Puffy
8:10
Speaker 1: an angel. But now it's coming out like he was
8:12
Speaker 1: really on the same type of shit, you know what
8:14
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like some of this ship, man, it's like, damn,
8:17
Speaker 1: nigga twenty five years later, like you was on the
8:19
Speaker 1: same type of ship. You got crips with you. I
8:21
Speaker 1: just found that out, Like you had to come to
8:24
Speaker 1: crips with you, bro, like you knew what you was doing,
8:27
Speaker 1: Like come on man, yeah, some of the uh stuff
8:31
Speaker 1: that Like I remember there was an LA Times article
8:33
Speaker 1: that came out about Puffy maybe like eight nine years ago,
8:35
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, yeah, you're talking again. We
8:40
Speaker 1: don't again. We don't know. I mean, at least I
8:43
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah. I mean there's people who think they
8:47
Speaker 1: know exactly what happened on each side, right, But it's
8:50
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I mean, Sugar like the bad guy. Sugar
8:55
Speaker 1: was paying as the bad guy, and it made it
8:57
Speaker 1: seem like niggas was bullying Puffy and Biggie and ship
8:59
Speaker 1: like that. But I mean, it's just like it's the
9:02
Speaker 1: same shit going on now. It's just like like an
9:05
Speaker 1: out of town nigga come out here and you know
9:08
Speaker 1: what I mean, get with some get with a nigga
9:10
Speaker 1: like me or somebody or another homie and get the
9:13
Speaker 1: gang banging. But it's just on a different platform because
9:15
Speaker 1: you're this big ass rap star, you know what I mean.
9:17
Speaker 1: So it's it's like, I mean, it's like the culture
9:22
Speaker 1: is the LA culture. I've been everywhere. Everybody want to
9:27
Speaker 1: be an l A nigga. Everybody loved this culture. Crips,
9:30
Speaker 1: bloods man, the crypt Walk and all this shit is
9:34
Speaker 1: just uh, it's just I don't I can't even explain it.
9:38
Speaker 1: But we influenced the rest of the America, the rest
9:42
Speaker 1: of the world, you feel me. Really, it's just something
9:45
Speaker 1: about l A culture, you know that the gang ship
9:48
Speaker 1: and the way we stand. I was we was at
9:50
Speaker 1: the restaurant yesterday and the Homy from Chicago like you
9:52
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta put my feet like this and
9:55
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, what's up. I'm like, that's that's just
9:57
Speaker 1: it's it's funny, but it's crazy that this is how
10:01
Speaker 1: the rest of the people think of us, you know,
10:03
Speaker 1: but they like it though. You know what I'm saying. Well,
10:05
Speaker 1: I mean I was talking to Big U and I
10:07
Speaker 1: was like, you know, before he went to prison, I
10:09
Speaker 1: was like, yo, before you went to prison, Like like
10:11
Speaker 1: he was in prison when the peak of gang banging
10:16
Speaker 1: became like commercial. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like
10:19
Speaker 1: you remember back in the day, there was like a
10:20
Speaker 1: Cryps Versus Bloods album and like that's my one of
10:23
Speaker 1: my favorite albums Banging on Wax Bang Won two, and
10:27
Speaker 1: then it went from Donald Riders to Nationwide Riders. Right, So,
10:31
Speaker 1: like there was that that point in time when the
10:35
Speaker 1: gang ship became so cool in the nineties colors came
10:38
Speaker 1: out or like I think that was late eighties early nineties,
10:40
Speaker 1: but like it became just like a worldwide thing. And
10:44
Speaker 1: that's I think, like you said, like just La influencing
10:47
Speaker 1: the world as far as like there's crips and sets
10:49
Speaker 1: and bloods. Brother the kid on Empire, Dusty Lokine is
10:53
Speaker 1: talking neighborhood cripshit and he's from Brooklyn. It's insane, but
10:57
Speaker 1: it's just like how to I I just like I
11:00
Speaker 1: tell everybody else to define why niggas gang bang everywhere else.
11:05
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is listen to Summer Vacation from
11:08
Speaker 1: ice Cube. All these is not even gang niggas, ain't
11:11
Speaker 1: niggas out of town, ain't gang banging. They is just
11:13
Speaker 1: from a gang. So they're just gang members. They're not
11:17
Speaker 1: this is not their culture. There's just something for them
11:19
Speaker 1: to do. What's the different, Like give me because people
11:22
Speaker 1: for people who are watching the drug gangs, that's what
11:24
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, give me that. So when you say
11:25
Speaker 1: gang banging, what is that like? With gang banging, it's
11:29
Speaker 1: like we're gonna we're gonna wake up today, We're gonna
11:32
Speaker 1: go put in some work on. Feel me like, if
11:34
Speaker 1: you're a blood, you're gonna go shoot some crips, or
11:36
Speaker 1: you're gonna go beat up some crips, or you're riding
11:38
Speaker 1: around to go find these people, you know, vice versa.
11:42
Speaker 1: And then I feel like I feel like I ain't
11:46
Speaker 1: gonna say all the out of town people, but a
11:48
Speaker 1: lot of people from out of town that's not like
11:51
Speaker 1: you'll be from sixties, but you've never been on sixtieth Street,
11:54
Speaker 1: y'a don't have a sixtieth Street in your neighborhood. You
11:57
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Niggas is saying they from POWERU
11:59
Speaker 1: like you ain't like you feel me, y'all woke up
12:02
Speaker 1: in fucking Kansas somewhere, you know what I'm saying. So, y'all,
12:06
Speaker 1: just like ice cubes say niggas dying and banging over
12:09
Speaker 1: the streets that they ain't never heard of you feel me,
12:11
Speaker 1: or been to or so it's like they waking up
12:16
Speaker 1: and they just claiming the gang and claiming the shit.
12:18
Speaker 1: But it's like the good, the good parts have come
12:20
Speaker 1: with it, but like you ain't really not really here
12:22
Speaker 1: for that part, for the not taking this bad port.
12:24
Speaker 1: But don't get it wrong, Like I've been in the
12:27
Speaker 1: places where niggas is really gang banging, but got their
12:30
Speaker 1: own gangs and their own neighborhoods. Prime example, fucking making
12:35
Speaker 1: Georgia them nigga's out there, like nineteen ninety four. Out there,
12:38
Speaker 1: mothers got their own gang, their own section, their own name,
12:43
Speaker 1: they and they doing it how we do it out here.
12:46
Speaker 1: It's just it's just different. So I can't say everybody,
12:48
Speaker 1: but a lot of the majority is just it's just different,
12:52
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I do think that,
12:55
Speaker 1: like because because people will not understand what it means
12:59
Speaker 1: to get banged on. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like DJ
13:02
Speaker 1: had had to educate me when I moved out here
13:04
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, look like you know you like
13:06
Speaker 1: he had, I know, you're like dude, he gave me
13:08
Speaker 1: the whole hot rundown. He was like, look, t hat on?
13:11
Speaker 1: What does this hat mean? It means you mean gangster crib.
13:14
Speaker 1: Basically it's crazy. I mean when it's blue. So I
13:17
Speaker 1: literally I got this hat with trade that could be
13:19
Speaker 1: in trouble. Me and Freddie were in we were in Austin, Texas,
13:22

Speaker 1: already hanging out in Atlanta, and shit, and you know,
19:01

19:16
Speaker 1: you got a home over here, like all right, so
19:18
Speaker 1: when it didn't work out, I'll start hanging out over
19:21
Speaker 1: there with them, going to the promo tours and then
19:25
Speaker 1: and it just turned into it took me like a
19:28
Speaker 1: year to get signed over there for TT Yeah. Yeah,
19:31
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think like that was like a cool
19:34
Speaker 1: I think that was a cool moment because at the time,
19:36
Speaker 1: obviously Jesz was putting out hell of mixtapes. And then
19:41
Speaker 1: I feel like it was kind of like CT second
19:43
Speaker 1: run kind of this was the first run, but no, no,
19:46
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like tw twenty eleven was
19:49
Speaker 1: kind of like, nah, I got signed over there in
19:51
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Oh shit, yeah, so this was
19:54
Speaker 1: this is the first run. That's the first run. That's
19:57
Speaker 1: the first one signed the CT depth jam. So I
20:00
Speaker 1: was on the label deal. Oh so yeah, I don't
20:02
Speaker 1: know why I thought you were you signed over there
20:04
Speaker 1: like early. No, I was there before. I was there
20:07
Speaker 1: before Freddy. Okay, you know what I'm saying. So I
20:09
Speaker 1: was like one of the first artists over there. It
20:11
Speaker 1: was slick, pulling and blood right, and then they put
20:13
Speaker 1: out the Then Rocket came. Okay, yeah, I been Rocket
20:17
Speaker 1: and then already had a relationship. But then me and
20:19
Speaker 1: Rocket got like this because from out here, So it
20:21
Speaker 1: was just a look, you know what I'm saying, and
20:25
Speaker 1: then yeah, I just start putting out music. And then
20:27
Speaker 1: I think Freddy got there in twenty ten, but already
20:30
Speaker 1: knew Freddy from out here. Jay Rock introduced me to
20:33
Speaker 1: Freddy the first night we met. We did a song
20:36
Speaker 1: after the club one night, you know what I mean.
20:38
Speaker 1: And we've just been cool ever since. Yeah, it's crazy
20:41
Speaker 1: because didn't did you leave? You left CTE after fred right,
20:49
Speaker 1: that was before so Freddy got there and what was
20:53
Speaker 1: that the beginning of twenty ten? I left him? Know
20:57
Speaker 1: he got there beginning of two thousand and let yeah, shit,
21:02
Speaker 1: and I left like in the public. I left in
21:05
Speaker 1: like twelve, but I was already gone from a little
21:08
Speaker 1: money situation, like the end of twenty eleven. You know
21:11
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, it's crazy because obviously you and
21:15
Speaker 1: Fred have kept a relationship for so long despite a
21:20
Speaker 1: situation like that. Might you know, people kind of choose up,
21:24
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. No, they chose up on me.
21:26
Speaker 1: And that's the only reason why I fucked with Freddie's
21:28
Speaker 1: so tough because he was the only nigga that stayed
21:31
Speaker 1: down with me, like in my even when I met
21:33
Speaker 1: you that time. Only reason I went on that tour
21:34
Speaker 1: because I had he knew that I was leaving the
21:37
Speaker 1: CT situation. They fucked me over like four hundred thousand.
21:41

Speaker 1: I a't have a big enough microphone to go and
21:45
Speaker 1: just be dissing because it's gonna make me look better.
21:47
Speaker 1: So I'm like, man, I'm gonna just do what I'm
21:49
Speaker 1: gonna do, you know what I'm saying. And everybody like
21:53
Speaker 1: bailed on me, and I had so much slander. I

Speaker 1: and he like, uh, you know, niggas gotta gotta go
24:16
Speaker 1: out and use the name and the label to get money.
24:19
Speaker 1: So I'm like, that's what I did, you know what
24:21
Speaker 1: I mean? And I went and got a four hundred
24:23
Speaker 1: thousand dollars deal for some music, half the music that
24:25

24:52
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, based on your you were

Speaker 1: around g Z, I guess probably when he was transitioning
24:57
Speaker 1: out of being known it is like a really hardcore

25:04
Speaker 1: staple in him. I was there for so I met

26:50
Speaker 1: we was all together and ain't nothing happened, you know
26:52
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I was confused. But that's what
26:55
Speaker 1: Fred was telling me. Be like, man, like, I'm the
26:57
Speaker 1: like friends of the type of motherfucker. We got problems.
26:59
Speaker 1: We in the same play. Something's gonna happen. Oh, That's
27:01
Speaker 1: what I was confused. We'd be in Central Station and
27:03
Speaker 1: them niggas be right over there and I'm like, okay,
27:05
Speaker 1: well let's get it. Wasn't there. There was a when
27:09
Speaker 1: the NMG bef got kind of I was gone, you're
27:12
Speaker 1: already gone on, Yeah, I was there. I was. I
27:16
Speaker 1: think all that ship was over a bitch. That's what
27:19
Speaker 1: I heard, honestly, really, because I was there all that
27:23
Speaker 1: ship around. When did the BMF come out? The song
27:26
Speaker 1: that was all that that time when that ship came out,
27:33
Speaker 1: and it was basically it seemed like it was over
27:35
Speaker 1: a bitch and that and that song you feel mean,
27:38
Speaker 1: Nigga was mad. I don't know if he felt like
27:39
Speaker 1: he should have made that song to get that, you
27:42
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Butig who cares? So it was
27:45
Speaker 1: just a whole bunch of weird shit going on. But
27:47
Speaker 1: I was cool with Ross. Ross gave me a verse
27:50
Speaker 1: all kind of ship like, you know what I'm saying.
27:53
Speaker 1: But then I left in the midst of all that,
27:54
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and they had to figure
27:56
Speaker 1: that shit out. Damn. Did you notice like a change
28:00
Speaker 1: with Jez's energy just like over time, like because if
28:04
Speaker 1: you were around in seven, I feel like that was
28:06
Speaker 1: kind of GEZ probably still moving a certain way with
28:10
Speaker 1: a certain type of people around him, you know what
28:12
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I mean a lot of people
28:15
Speaker 1: was just he ended up getting that deaf jam situation,
28:17
Speaker 1: which was was that that was later right, Uh, he
28:20
Speaker 1: was already he was always on death gym. No, I
28:22
Speaker 1: mean I mean the Atlantic, Yeah, he was. I was
28:27
Speaker 1: gone by the end. Yeah. So yeah, it's just like
28:30
Speaker 1: you'll hear some people who around GZ like super early
28:32
Speaker 1: and they'll be like, yeah, sh it was like real
28:34
Speaker 1: out like it was some real ship going on. And
28:35
Speaker 1: then you know, I mean it was active. It was
28:38
Speaker 1: some active shit going on. We didn't got into some
28:40
Speaker 1: ship before and it was real activity. I can't knock that.
28:43
Speaker 1: But just on some low tea and business ship it was.
28:46
Speaker 1: It wasn't solid, which explains why nobody fucks with him
28:51
Speaker 1: no more. And it's just like and then look and
28:53
Speaker 1: like I think, like again, like I'm a fan of Jiz.
28:57
Speaker 1: I've been around him. He's a nice guy. I never
28:58
Speaker 1: I don't have any personal issues with him. But just
29:00
Speaker 1: like from a fan's perspective, you'll look at like CT
29:02
Speaker 1: and you'll be like, dang, no one ever came out
29:03
Speaker 1: of CT and you can say, y G, he had
29:07
Speaker 1: he had guys, but you can say y G. But
29:08
Speaker 1: why G was already on death jam and they kind
29:11
Speaker 1: of just threw the CT you through it and then yeah,
29:13
Speaker 1: I think that was kind of got in his ear
29:15
Speaker 1: about that ship. But I left in the midst of that,
29:18
Speaker 1: like the whole YG going on. I told I told GZ,
29:21
Speaker 1: I said, man, it's the guy. He's finna be the
29:22
Speaker 1: next nigga. Up. Well, we were in colony. I'm like,

Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, feel me dah da dah. But
30:13
Speaker 1: I'm I'm telling this nigga like he's the guy. Bro.
30:16
Speaker 1: This is because we had in the condo in Atlanta.
30:18
Speaker 1: Every morning, I'm waking up playing yg Nipson. You know
30:22
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, the shit that I that we listened
30:23
Speaker 1: to out here, and they like, man, you're playing that ship.
30:26
Speaker 1: I'm like, what you mean? This is the ship that
30:27
Speaker 1: were playing in LA. This is what's going on. Yeah,
30:30
Speaker 1: And and I leave thirty days after that. We fall
30:33
Speaker 1: out thirty sixty days after that, and then I remember,
30:38
Speaker 1: I remember some mixtapes coming out, you know what I mean,
30:41
Speaker 1: And then we I hear them on songs and taking pictures.
30:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, here it ran, it's happening. It's cool.
30:46
Speaker 1: Though I never was like mad about it or nothing
30:49
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I'm saying. And it just
30:51
Speaker 1: turned into what it turned into what did you think
30:53
Speaker 1: when you saw the versus thing? Did you like? Like?
30:56
Speaker 1: What are you? What are your thoughts on it? Clay
30:59
Speaker 1: this else? You think? So played itself every step of
31:04
Speaker 1: the way, like what you sell no records like that.
31:08
Speaker 1: Don't nobody even know you had an album come out,
31:10
Speaker 1: and you did all this just to ship on the people.
31:14
Speaker 1: I was sliding with you, like you know, Mactown niggas. Basically, yeah,
31:18
Speaker 1: I mean it looks like I mean the guy that died,
31:21
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And then Gucci showed his ass.
31:23
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think when Gucci started getting disrespectful, man,
31:27
Speaker 1: Gucci been disrespectful. No, no, but I'm saying like I
31:30
Speaker 1: knew Gucci was gonna be disrespectful. Yes, Gucci was on Instagram.
31:34
Speaker 1: He came out swinging with the whole original new song. No,
31:38
Speaker 1: that wasn't new. I thought that first song was a
31:39
Speaker 1: new song. That song was this is Gucci man. First geez,
31:43
Speaker 1: that ship was out. When State Trapped came out, we
31:46
Speaker 1: was watching these videos. We was watching this feud from
31:49
Speaker 1: out here. I didn't know them when this happened, you
31:51
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And then I kind of fell
31:53
Speaker 1: over there like, and it was already going on. Really,
31:56
Speaker 1: Gucci was in jail when I got signed over there.
31:58
Speaker 1: So so let me I you this because I think
32:00
Speaker 1: like the other side of the coin is like, well,
32:02
Speaker 1: Jez's showing people that you know, you can grow all
32:08
Speaker 1: that you can growing because the homie, rest and peace
32:11
Speaker 1: can't grow. You feel me, you're doing all this for what? Now?
32:15
Speaker 1: You didn't you didn't try to shoo on this nigga
32:17
Speaker 1: your whole career and his whole career. What's the use
32:20
Speaker 1: of y'all patching up? Like? I feel you? You know
32:23
Speaker 1: that's cool, But like, come on, man, you let me
32:26
Speaker 1: ask you. Don't you think if you're in jezus all
32:30
Speaker 1: that ship was for? Look, no, I feel your work.
32:32
Speaker 1: He thought it was going to work because originally it
32:34
Speaker 1: was supposed to be Jez versus T. I yeah, but
32:36
Speaker 1: he man, of course you got this. That's why we're
32:39
Speaker 1: talking about it now. He did that. I don't know.
32:42
Speaker 1: I think he think of like where Jeez probably is
32:44
Speaker 1: in life. He's got kids, in college, he just got married.
32:47
Speaker 1: He's definitely all the way out of that side of that,
32:49
Speaker 1: you know, so we don't even know if who he
32:52
Speaker 1: is then because this whole time we've been doing this, person,
32:55
Speaker 1: you feel me. Yeah, I think when someone loses their
32:58
Speaker 1: life because of the situation is when you didn't even
33:00
Speaker 1: it couldn't even. I'm not saying you had to go
33:02
Speaker 1: do nothing, but you didn't have to do this right,
33:05
Speaker 1: Like it's Gucci already on top. Let me ask you this,
33:09
Speaker 1: do you think if somebody sees what happened with Jizi
33:12
Speaker 1: and Gucci and they in their personal situations with somebody
33:16
Speaker 1: in this Because I think that that's something that's so
33:19
Speaker 1: hard about stopping some of this violence, right Because how
33:22
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me to not do this to somebody
33:24
Speaker 1: when my cousin's dead over this shit or you know,
33:26
Speaker 1: my partner or whoever, and it's been so long, like
33:29
Speaker 1: you just brought more ship out of the closet that
33:32
Speaker 1: was already kind of like you know, it was calmed down.
33:36
Speaker 1: But do you think yeah? I mean, I mean, do
33:38
Speaker 1: you but do you think that there's some good that
33:40
Speaker 1: could have came out of that, whether it was maybe
33:42
Speaker 1: influencing somebody who watched the verses? Do you mean I
33:44
Speaker 1: feel like it was some good that they did the
33:46
Speaker 1: song at the end, and you know, it's cool. Ain't
33:49
Speaker 1: nobody get shot or fired or nothing like that. You
33:51
Speaker 1: kind of showed a little, but deep down, the only
33:55
Speaker 1: reason we know these people is because of these situations
33:58
Speaker 1: and the people that you claim to be, that you've
34:01
Speaker 1: been telling us that you are and who we fell
34:03
Speaker 1: in love with. And at the end of the day,
34:05
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't think Jesz's been that guy for
34:07
Speaker 1: a long time though, as far as just like the
34:09
Speaker 1: persona he even the persona he gives out to everyone. Yeah,
34:12
Speaker 1: but but we give it the benefit of the doubt
34:15
Speaker 1: to be like, you steal the guy from Doug motivation
34:18
Speaker 1: and all these other inspirations, and you know you're still
34:21
Speaker 1: somewhat of that guy. Now when you go against everything
34:24
Speaker 1: that you told us who you are, it's like, now
34:27
Speaker 1: we lost all faith in you, you know what I mean,
34:30
Speaker 1: street wise, and this is who you built your shit on.
34:33
Speaker 1: This is why Jezu's Jesus, because who you are and
34:37
Speaker 1: what you've been doing, you know what I mean. So
34:39
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, you know what I mean,
34:43
Speaker 1: But I know the people I'll be around and the
34:45
Speaker 1: type of people I'll be with. They just not feeling
34:48
Speaker 1: that shit yeah, just on the street side, I feel
34:49
Speaker 1: like I have to do that, you know, no, I
34:52
Speaker 1: think I just think that both. There's like the street
34:55
Speaker 1: side of the coin where it's like, yeah, like come on,
34:57
Speaker 1: someone died, you don't ever do that. And then they're like, hey,
35:00
Speaker 1: look well obviously Jeez hasn't been that guy for so long.
35:06
Speaker 1: But it don't even mean if you're that guy now,
35:08
Speaker 1: you done brought all these extra feelings up that was
35:10
Speaker 1: already like that man, that that's rest in peace. He
35:13
Speaker 1: got a kid, he got a son, you know what
35:15
Speaker 1: I mean, he got family and all Thatshi over there
35:17
Speaker 1: talking about smoking on that pack and come on, that
35:19
Speaker 1: Gucci is the biggest nigga. You know what I'm saying.
35:21
Speaker 1: All you did was you you you put Gucci like this.
35:25
Speaker 1: You should have you man, you you should have just retired, bro,
35:28
Speaker 1: when you said you was gonna retire three four years ago,
35:31
Speaker 1: Like we don't. We don't need all this extra shit
35:33
Speaker 1: you you think you try and do, go get married,
35:35
Speaker 1: go with your girl and all that, and y'all go
35:37
Speaker 1: do what y'all doing. Get out the way. Basically in
35:40
Speaker 1: the way, bro, get out the way. You know what
35:42
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Uh yeah, yeah, I thought from just from
35:47
Speaker 1: a fan's perspective, I was, man, I was watching that
35:49
Speaker 1: ship in the dark, like, what the fuck, bro? You
35:52
Speaker 1: let that ride? You know what I'm saying, and you
35:54
Speaker 1: come out with the BMF shirt on and all that, Like, man,
35:57
Speaker 1: I don't even them niggas don't even like you, bro,
35:59
Speaker 1: Like what you trying? I do? We feel me? I
36:01
Speaker 1: don't understand this. You know he was he was reaching,
36:05
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, whatever, So you
36:08
Speaker 1: got your new album out, uh, Masters in Mind, which
36:11
Speaker 1: is it's like, is it eight or nine songs A song?
36:14
Speaker 1: A songs? Yeah? It feels like are you and Freddie
36:17
Speaker 1: joint project? I mean it's really basically right basically yeah,
36:22
Speaker 1: you know he's not on two of them. Uh yeah, yeah,
36:25
Speaker 1: he only on six, right, So he's on six out
36:27
Speaker 1: of eight. Yeah, and I was the album's fire good looking,
36:34
Speaker 1: good look what like obviously relationship is so strong. He's
36:39
Speaker 1: had such a crazy yeah yeah the last two years. Yeah,
36:47
Speaker 1: I ain't surprised. I think he came out of that
36:50
Speaker 1: jail situation, Craze. I think to the fact that we
36:56
Speaker 1: were I think, you know, I told people like the
36:59
Speaker 1: pandemic made made the world listen to rap music differently
37:03
Speaker 1: because we ain't standing on couches, We ain't at the
37:07
Speaker 1: club popping bottles. Now you're listening in your headphones, yeah,
37:11
Speaker 1: or you're listening in the car. In the car, and
37:13
Speaker 1: so when you listen that way, you're like, it's a
37:15
Speaker 1: different way of listening to music. Right. So that's when
37:18
Speaker 1: it's like you see those Grammy nominations and it's Royce
37:20
Speaker 1: to five nine. I never thought of it like that,
37:23
Speaker 1: and it's nas and it's just like, oh shit, it's
37:25
Speaker 1: a lot of real rap shit, rap shit. Yeah. And
37:28
Speaker 1: you know fred Fred went from bandana to man he
37:33
Speaker 1: afraid of right, No, no, no, no, for sure. But
37:35
Speaker 1: I just mean, like twenty nineteen to twenty twenties, like crazy,
37:39
Speaker 1: but like how dope has it been to like just
37:41
Speaker 1: watch his last year two years? Shit, it's inspiring. I'll
37:47
Speaker 1: be motivated, you know what I mean. Yeah, you go
37:51
Speaker 1: crazy when your friends just motivate you. I ain't gotta
37:54
Speaker 1: go look at no strangers. You know, you can go
37:55
Speaker 1: around the corner to the house and he'll he'll bust
37:58
Speaker 1: a rap play. Damn you just did that, Okay, then
38:01
Speaker 1: go in the studio and rap like he just dropped
38:03
Speaker 1: that ship. He probably like fox five songs in on
38:06
Speaker 1: a new project already later and uh, the big boss
38:09
Speaker 1: rappit shit he recorded like the day or two days
38:12
Speaker 1: after the Grammy. Yeah, and it's already out. Video shot. Yeah,
38:15
Speaker 1: we shot the video like I was there. I caught
38:19
Speaker 1: up for a second and my wife was My wife
38:21
Speaker 1: was banging on me, So I was like, guys, I
38:23
Speaker 1: was like, look, I gotta go. So he work works,
38:25
Speaker 1: so that'd be inspiring me. You know what I mean,
38:27
Speaker 1: that ship even if he like this, you know what
38:29
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm right here and I'm trying to get there.
38:31
Speaker 1: I gotta work at least twice as hard as he
38:33
Speaker 1: is to get to eat where he at, you know
38:35
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So did you ever consider because I
38:41
Speaker 1: feel like you've you know, you opened your store and
38:45
Speaker 1: you've kind of like helped with some younger artists. Have
38:49
Speaker 1: you ever gotten to the point where you're like, Yo,
38:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this rap shit for fun if it
38:53
Speaker 1: works out, cool, But like you're on, I feel like
38:56
Speaker 1: I've just noticed you more as like doing boss shit,
38:59
Speaker 1: doing community the shit, doing like you know, what I mean,
39:01
Speaker 1: like and then like we get an album from you
39:03
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh shit, yeah, this shit. I think.
39:06
Speaker 1: I think everything is built from the music. You know,
39:09
Speaker 1: everything comes from the music. That's what Perico be telling
39:12
Speaker 1: me all the time. He like, yeah, man, you know
39:13
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this. This this is but everything everything
39:16
Speaker 1: starts here is the music. We can do all this.
39:18
Speaker 1: It is even the reason that I can bring people
39:20
Speaker 1: to the store. Well, I got this big this this
39:23
Speaker 1: fucking franchise. I mean not franchise, but this Landmark restaurant
39:26
Speaker 1: next door to me, right, But that's like maybe forty
39:29
Speaker 1: five fifty percent of my clientele. And the other people
39:32
Speaker 1: you bring to other people is from rap music, from Instagram,
39:36
Speaker 1: from who I am pulling up and they're like, oh shit,
39:38
Speaker 1: we gotta go to his store. All of this is
39:39
Speaker 1: from the rap, you know what I mean. But I
39:41
Speaker 1: can fall back on the rap, and I can still
39:43
Speaker 1: stay relevant because of the store and the ship that
39:45
Speaker 1: I'm throwing, and I can bring the younger artists in
39:47
Speaker 1: and have pop ups. I can still be the guy
39:49
Speaker 1: and bust these moves and stay relevant with content without
39:53
Speaker 1: even dropping music. But it's still all revolves back to
39:56
Speaker 1: the music. I'm saying, it's all gonna come back to
39:58
Speaker 1: the music, So I gotta keep dropping, you know what
40:00
Speaker 1: I mean. And it's just the passion and the checks
40:03
Speaker 1: that's gonna come every month. It's like ship income, and yeah,
40:08
Speaker 1: keep on rapping and dropping because it's easy. This is
40:11
Speaker 1: when you think so fucking hard, like what we were
40:13
Speaker 1: saying about those other artists, like you can't be sitting
40:16
Speaker 1: here waiting nine years to drop a project, talk about
40:19
Speaker 1: like how to get my money, right, I got it,
40:21
Speaker 1: I got it. I mean, it's prime examples of a
40:24
Speaker 1: certain artists I've watched it. You didn't need no money,
40:28
Speaker 1: you need no money, like like Gucci and him. Day man,
40:32
Speaker 1: Rouchie worked instead of money. He worked out, hustled everybody's studio,
40:38
Speaker 1: five studio sessions a day, busting versus down. He didn't
40:43
Speaker 1: have to spend no money because he he just outworked everybody. Now, Ruccie,
40:48
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to Rouccie because you know you
40:50
Speaker 1: part of his his come up. Rouccie. I think the
40:53
Speaker 1: first record I heard of him was lean like a
40:55
Speaker 1: trollo ship Oh yeah, yeah, damn, you was just getting
40:58
Speaker 1: up on him on it. Yeah yeah, I was crazy.
41:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that was crazy. And uh I was like,
41:03
Speaker 1: oh this Ship is yeah tight like some of the
41:07
Speaker 1: remixed Yeah yeah that record. You know, but uh, how
41:11
Speaker 1: did you how did you meet Ruccie? And like kind
41:13
Speaker 1: of what you're involved in Rucci because obviously he's on
41:15
Speaker 1: your Rouchie Daddy is my big homie, like Big Taco,
41:22
Speaker 1: my big homie. He raised me in the streets from
41:24
Speaker 1: when I was like thirteen, you know what I'm saying,
41:27
Speaker 1: until Ship he went to jail, you know what I mean.
41:30
Speaker 1: So now he's in Mexico, right, Yeah, he in Mexico.
41:32
Speaker 1: Now he got deported. So so I known Rouchie and
41:37
Speaker 1: Angels since they was little baby squeeze a babysit them,
41:40
Speaker 1: you know what i mean. Make sure they don't drive
41:42
Speaker 1: to go running in the driveway and Ship, you know
41:45
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I've been knowing him as a
41:48
Speaker 1: but then he kind of moved away for like four
41:51
Speaker 1: or five years. And when he came back, I think
41:55
Speaker 1: Sean Mack brought him in. I was my little brother,
41:57
Speaker 1: rest in peace, you know what I'm saying. He brought
41:59
Speaker 1: him in the studio one like I got mintioned in here. Man,
42:02
Speaker 1: come on, bro Taco tripping, I got him hanging with us.
42:06
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, he went in there and dropped the
42:09
Speaker 1: verse and I was like, damn, I'm roochie nigga. You
42:14
Speaker 1: feel me. I'm like okay. And then ever since that
42:16
Speaker 1: one verse, he just been boom boom boom boom grinding.
42:19
Speaker 1: And then I feel like when the homie Sean died,
42:22
Speaker 1: he he just just that ship just me with me.
42:27
Speaker 1: When he passed, it just had me like I ain't
42:31
Speaker 1: gonna say, like under a rock, I ain't had no
42:32
Speaker 1: motivation to do nothing. It affected him the other way
42:36
Speaker 1: affected him if it affected him like different, he just
42:40
Speaker 1: the soul of him just came out and he was
42:42
Speaker 1: like both of them rapping on songs. So he had
42:44
Speaker 1: the aggression, the the the word play and everything all
42:51
Speaker 1: in the song, everything that Sean had, and he just
42:53
Speaker 1: added fuel to the flame, you know what I'm saying.
42:55
Speaker 1: And he and it's just the work ethic, not him
42:59
Speaker 1: to where he I'm saying where he at now? Who
43:02
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're really tapped in with the scene
43:04
Speaker 1: out here. Who are some of the young la guys
43:06
Speaker 1: that you're a fan of that you're you know, you're
43:08
Speaker 1: fucking with fuck with Slumlord, you know from the Jungles
43:12
Speaker 1: infant like Hey Riches, out of content. Who else I've
43:24
Speaker 1: been listening to fuck with Chike, Yeah, off top, that's
43:33
Speaker 1: that's like my playlist. Do you feel like because I
43:36
Speaker 1: feel like, Uh, historically in l A, you know, because
43:40
Speaker 1: of politics, a lot of uh there, there wasn't a
43:43
Speaker 1: big sad funck with Big too big Sad. We talk
43:46
Speaker 1: some ship, but but you know there's always politics in
43:50
Speaker 1: l A, right, And I feel like throughout the years,
43:53
Speaker 1: LA has probably been one of the more segregated hip
43:55
Speaker 1: hop communities when it comes to like just the perception
43:58
Speaker 1: of people not like doing you know, not fucking with
44:00
Speaker 1: each other all the way. Like we always hear like Atlanta,
44:02
Speaker 1: everyone's together, they all rock. But I feel like this
44:05
Speaker 1: new j look like that shit out of town. But
44:07
Speaker 1: fus don't be together though, right, But but they'd be
44:12
Speaker 1: getting on each other's records. You know, it's crazy. But
44:16
Speaker 1: in LA, this new generation, it feels like there's a
44:19
Speaker 1: lot of camaraderie. You'll hear like one take Jay with Ruccie,
44:24
Speaker 1: or you'll hear like, you know, I just feel like
44:27
Speaker 1: I always hear everyone on each other. Shit. Now it
44:30
Speaker 1: is like the new excuse me, like the new Like
44:34
Speaker 1: it's it's different, but it's different in the good way.
44:36
Speaker 1: I remember when I was growing up, like shit, to
44:39
Speaker 1: even bust through, you had to be Snoop Dogg affiliated
44:43
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, whether you was a gang
44:44
Speaker 1: member or not, blood or crip or whatever, you had
44:47
Speaker 1: to come through that channel to get on. You had
44:50
Speaker 1: to come through that channel or the DRE channel. I mean,
44:53
Speaker 1: the Snoop Dogg is the DRE channel. No, no, no,
44:56
Speaker 1: that's some that's some crazy shit because I remember talking
44:58
Speaker 1: to Nipsey in like twenty ten when he was not
45:00
Speaker 1: fucking with Dre. I mean, but you still he went
45:02
Speaker 1: to Snoop Dogg. No no, but but but I remember, like,
45:05
Speaker 1: think about I mean, you were a part of this
45:07
Speaker 1: air nobody in my era, Glasses Malone, think about. But
45:11
Speaker 1: I'm saying that, I'm not. I'm not talking about that.
45:13
Speaker 1: I'm talking about there was that whole era of LA
45:15
Speaker 1: rappers that just kind of got shunned by the It
45:18
Speaker 1: was it was Glasses, it was it was j Rock,
45:22
Speaker 1: it was it was it was Nipsy, you know, Rocket
45:26
Speaker 1: you know yourself, Like there was like all these There
45:29
Speaker 1: was like this scene in LA that almost like the
45:31
Speaker 1: gate keepers quote unquote, you had to go through like Ignored,
45:35
Speaker 1: to go to go through Snoop or doctor Dre to
45:38
Speaker 1: be like you know what I mean, to get solidified.
45:40
Speaker 1: That's why other motherfuckers start going out to g Z
45:43
Speaker 1: and Rough Riders, g Unit and ship like that, because
45:46
Speaker 1: it was like, wasn't nobody here trying to put nobody
45:49
Speaker 1: on yep, And then I think the only thing I
45:51
Speaker 1: mean obviously Dre. I mean, Kendrick's a perfect example once
45:55
Speaker 1: that Drake Co sign happened, just ship change. I'm not
45:57
Speaker 1: saying Kendrick wouldn't have been great anyways, it's all time great,
46:00
Speaker 1: but like that, but yeah, when the when it was
46:03
Speaker 1: like this, he became great though, it was like this.
46:06
Speaker 1: So was that before Good Kid Mad City? Now? That
46:10
Speaker 1: was now, that was after that was before section eighty.
46:13
Speaker 1: It was before after section eight before oh yeah, it
46:16
Speaker 1: was before section Remember that Key Club he had that
46:18
Speaker 1: watching Yeah yeah when Game Game officially passed the torch. Yeah,
46:22
Speaker 1: it was uh and then he had that watch out
46:23
Speaker 1: for Detox freestyle, yeah, which is crazy. And then he
46:27
Speaker 1: just went out of here. He just became the elite
46:29
Speaker 1: after that. Yeah, And it's crazy because at the time
46:31
Speaker 1: it was like like I was real tight with Nipsey
46:34
Speaker 1: at that time, and it was like Nipsey was putting
46:36
Speaker 1: so much work and game props the game because Game
46:40
Speaker 1: gave a lot of people looks at that during that time,
46:43
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying that I don't think
46:45
Speaker 1: so you don't think so. I mean, I know Game
46:47
Speaker 1: put he put. He put nip on the road with

49:06
Speaker 1: in when niggas wasn't pulling nobody in. Tell me. Everybody

49:14
Speaker 1: be like I'm gonna put you on right right right,
49:16
Speaker 1: but they just push you over there trying to help. Yeah,
49:18
Speaker 1: And wasn't nobody trying to do that, especially back then,
49:21
Speaker 1: like that was out, you know what I'm saying. Then
49:22
Speaker 1: I feel like it was definitely out. Yeah, so yeah,
49:26
Speaker 1: it was. It was just yeah, that timing was different too,
49:29
Speaker 1: because LA ain't have a sound, you know what I'm saying.
49:32
Speaker 1: They ain't had no sound. Everything was out of town,
49:36
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And then yeah, I think
49:38
Speaker 1: that YG and that Mustard and no, I think definitely
49:42
Speaker 1: I think like that kicked it off for the new LA.
49:46
Speaker 1: I think yeah, it was that that what was that
49:48
Speaker 1: twenty ten, twenty eleven, twelve, Yeah, really we was on it,
49:54
Speaker 1: but really it don't matter what we was on. It
49:56
Speaker 1: just matters what everybody else like when you leave, because
49:59
Speaker 1: it's it seemed like it was like Game was the
50:02
Speaker 1: guy in l A for a point in time where
50:05
Speaker 1: it felt like a long time only guy in l
50:07
Speaker 1: A nationally. Yeah, and then once that YG Mustard thing happened,
50:12
Speaker 1: it was over. But it took out of town niggas
50:14
Speaker 1: to be like that, Oh yeah, that's l A. We've
50:17
Speaker 1: been listening to that ship, you know what I'm saying
50:19
Speaker 1: for at least four years before that. It took for
50:22
Speaker 1: them to be like my nigga, My nigga with Rich
50:27
Speaker 1: Kwan and GZ on there, and it took Giz to
50:31
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, this this is him R I P
50:33
Speaker 1: R I P and then just to set the whole
50:35
Speaker 1: ship on fire. And this is what it is. You
50:37
Speaker 1: know that era when it was like Tiger was doing
50:39
Speaker 1: Rack City City. I'm different, bro, I'm different to change
50:43
Speaker 1: when he did that with Mustard, yep, it was like
50:45
Speaker 1: League Stars and Mustard they had the beats that were
50:49
Speaker 1: like and that era just just set it set the
50:53
Speaker 1: tone for And now we have the new LA sound
50:56
Speaker 1: where you hear some ship and you'll be like that
50:57
Speaker 1: sounds like some l a ship. But it's like now
50:59
Speaker 1: now it's so Mustard Legua Star re rocked, you feel me.

52:28
Speaker 1: they ain't really go up on me like that, you

52:34
Speaker 1: it's it's smooth though. I like it. Do you think, like, like,
52:39
Speaker 1: do you look at that as like a positive thing
52:41
Speaker 1: because it's like a good and a bad side to it. Yeah,
52:44
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I look at it now and
52:48
Speaker 1: it's you know, back in the day, it was just
52:50
Speaker 1: spray painted everywhere. Shit was raggedy niggas hanging out on
52:53
Speaker 1: every corner and the street, and now it's just cleaned up.
52:56
Speaker 1: Then turned ship into Lax Jason and all that little
53:01
Speaker 1: ship Westchester you know looking type ship, but it's still inglewood.
53:06
Speaker 1: But you know it's like out of town ers, like
53:09
Speaker 1: you know, like white people walking down the street like
53:11
Speaker 1: dogs and ship. It's just crazy. It's is different, but
53:14
Speaker 1: it's for the good. Like, how long this ship supposed
53:16
Speaker 1: to be fucked up and we're supposed to be out
53:18
Speaker 1: here in the fucked up environment. If y'all got the
53:21
Speaker 1: money to fix this up, let's do it. Do the
53:22
Speaker 1: Clippers get any brownie points for being there? Like, because
53:26
Speaker 1: obviously everyone hates the Clippers and everyone loves the Lakers,
53:28
Speaker 1: but like, do you like it should be mad at
53:32
Speaker 1: the Lakers because the Lakers ran ran off and left.
53:36
Speaker 1: They did they have to Stable Center down town. I
53:39
Speaker 1: don't even know where the Clippers supposed to be playing
53:41
Speaker 1: at though, I think they're in Inglewood. They not this year, no, no,
53:44
Speaker 1: no, no no, not this year. No no no no. I think
53:46
Speaker 1: I think whether it's two years or next year, they're
53:48
Speaker 1: gonna be they're supposed to be, yeah, doing the Century
53:51
Speaker 1: and Prairie. I heard shure. I mean it's crazy because
53:55
Speaker 1: I never thought like, I didn't get the whole like
54:00
Speaker 1: hate in LA until I moved here, and I'm like, yo, people,
54:02
Speaker 1: really why I even know why they hate the Clippers.
54:05
Speaker 1: They don't funk with the Clippers. I'm like dog back,
54:07
Speaker 1: how good? So I like the Lakers. I'm a Lebron
54:12
Speaker 1: hater on court, you feel me. I fuck with him
54:14
Speaker 1: off the court, but on court, I'm a Lebron hater
54:16
Speaker 1: because I root for the underdog and then they just
54:18
Speaker 1: be Yeah. So I'm a I'm a Laker hater and
54:22
Speaker 1: Lebron hater. I've been a Laker hater for years, but
54:25
Speaker 1: I'm a Lebron lover, so I had to both sides
54:28
Speaker 1: of me. I go for the underdog though, man all y'all, man,
54:31
Speaker 1: Lebron Lebron, the Lakers, the Lakers like Lebron my favorite player,
54:34
Speaker 1: but I'm a Suns fan. So my whole life I
54:36
Speaker 1: hated the Lakers. So when he came to the Lakers,
54:37
Speaker 1: I had to come to a business decision to like
54:40
Speaker 1: put my Laker hate away and say, you know what,
54:43
Speaker 1: Lebron's on the Lakers Now. As long as he's on
54:46
Speaker 1: the team, I'm gonna just root for him. Damn. I'
54:49
Speaker 1: gonna wait to playoff time. I'm gonna go up on
54:51
Speaker 1: you. You You got Chris Paul at the the Suns. I'm finish.
54:54
Speaker 1: Start going for the Suns. Hey, we're good number two
54:56
Speaker 1: in the West right now? How is it we you
54:59
Speaker 1: were supposed to be al I'm not a Laker fan.
55:01
Speaker 1: I'm a Lebron fan. But if the Sons and the
55:03
Speaker 1: Lakers play, I'm working with the Suns. I've been the Sons.
55:05
Speaker 1: You used to be a Suns fan. Think about how
55:07
Speaker 1: shitty the Sons have been so my life long since
55:10
Speaker 1: night so my all my like, I mean, no, we
55:12
Speaker 1: had that room with National Mari and you know we
55:14
Speaker 1: was relevant up until about twenty ten. But I've just
55:20
Speaker 1: I've attached myself to Lebron. Yeah, the last fifteen years
55:24
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, so it's like, okay, I love the Suns,
55:28
Speaker 1: but we really ain't been ship for man to damn good.
55:33
Speaker 1: I just, I just I think he's the underdog in
55:35
Speaker 1: the sense that like he's playing on Michael Jordan's shadow.
55:38
Speaker 1: So he might not be Kobe's shadow, not Michael Jordan's.
55:41
Speaker 1: He's past Kobe. What come on, man, what is he
55:45
Speaker 1: talking about? Nobody could never be good as Kobe Bro?
55:50
Speaker 1: I think Kobe Jordan bro Let me let me, let
55:53
Speaker 1: me tell you why you're wrong. Let me tell you
55:55
Speaker 1: what you're wrong. All right, Shack leaves you remember he
56:00
Speaker 1: went how many more? Check? Wait? One? But let me explain.
56:03
Speaker 1: Let me explain. It was two? Now he played he
56:05
Speaker 1: won one more? Butt me? No, no, how many Kobe win? Wait?
56:09
Speaker 1: Wait okay, Shack left Kobe for two years, couldn't get
56:15
Speaker 1: the Lakers were the eight seed. So the two years
56:18
Speaker 1: after Shaq went to Miami, the Lakers were the eight seed. Okay,
56:22
Speaker 1: this is when he quote unquote had no help. Okay,
56:25
Speaker 1: he never had wait what you mean, what O'Neil? No,
56:30
Speaker 1: I'm saying he okay, after Wight never had help. Al
56:33
Speaker 1: Gasol and Andrew Biden was an All Star center Andrew
56:36
Speaker 1: Man of the Year. Just say, Andrew, can we check
56:39
Speaker 1: out them? Andrew? Andrew Biden was a bum when he left.
56:41
Speaker 1: He was a bum when he was there, wing Like,
56:43
Speaker 1: can you're telling me he wasn't a starter? He was
56:45
Speaker 1: a seven five fucking center with that being seven five
56:49
Speaker 1: and four hundred pounds those two years. Yeah, that Kobe
56:53
Speaker 1: had literally nobody right. He couldn't even get the Lakers
56:56
Speaker 1: out of the first round of the playoffs. Now, rewind
57:00
Speaker 1: On in five had Eric snow was his starting point
57:04
Speaker 1: guy Jianyelle Marshall was the starting small forward and he
57:08
Speaker 1: was like fifty and he took them to the finals
57:12
Speaker 1: against the Spurs with no help. Koffee. Yeah, they didn't
57:18
Speaker 1: go to no championship. Bro. They played the Spurs and
57:20
Speaker 1: the Spurs waxed them. But they beat the Pistons in
57:23
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference finals. In the year before that, the
57:25
Speaker 1: Pistons won the Ring. So my thing is and with
57:30
Speaker 1: no way he beat the He beat the defending champions
57:33
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference finals. No, they beat the Lake.
57:37
Speaker 1: The Pistons beat the Lakers in the finals the year before,
57:40
Speaker 1: but they had a different team, Bro, No, they did it.
57:44
Speaker 1: It was the same starting five, Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton. No,
57:48
Speaker 1: the Pistons beat the Lakers when they had Gary Payton,
57:51
Speaker 1: Karl Malone. Yes, listen, I'm a basketball fanatic. So with
57:56
Speaker 1: that being said, when Lebron has had no help in
57:59
Speaker 1: his career, he's always been in the motherfucking mix, I
58:03
Speaker 1: mean championships. He won though, listen, hen he gonna be
58:06
Speaker 1: fine because he was all the built teams, so he
58:09
Speaker 1: was good. Bro. He went against the Warriors, the greatest
58:13
Speaker 1: team ever assembled. He had a simple team to hold on.
58:18
Speaker 1: Let's let's get to the Warriors. Because the Warriors, he's
58:20
Speaker 1: just all genuine good players. They wasn't put together. Kevin Durant.
58:26
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant had one time he played for them one time.
58:29
Speaker 1: He played for them for three years for three seasons,
58:32
Speaker 1: but he played twice when they won. He played three
58:34
Speaker 1: years with them, though he ruined the NBA for three years.
58:38
Speaker 1: He ruined the NBA. KD damn. Now that's what put
58:42
Speaker 1: together team they got in Brooklyn right now, that ship's
58:45
Speaker 1: crazy super salary. If they don't win the fucking ring,
58:48
Speaker 1: you feel me like, God, damn, how where they getting
58:50
Speaker 1: this money from? Bruh. It's crazy. They just got the
58:54
Speaker 1: Mark LaMarcus Griffin, Like, how did they do that? Where
58:58
Speaker 1: they getting this money from? Because he got aught out
59:00
Speaker 1: and they signed for the veteran minimum. He played for
59:03
Speaker 1: free pretty much the same thing were playing. He got
59:06
Speaker 1: paid it. They paid him out. I don't know, but yeah,
59:10
Speaker 1: get on that team, like, let me play. I got
59:12
Speaker 1: to fuck with Kobe, but he ain't fucking with Lebron.
59:14
Speaker 1: Come on, man. That's the one thing I think that
59:17
Speaker 1: we were we were unfortunately never privileged to see was
59:20
Speaker 1: the Kobe Lebron finals. Yeah yeah, but see it's the
59:24
Speaker 1: age difference though now. But you know, if you think
59:26
Speaker 1: about those years, it was the year it should have happened.
59:30
Speaker 1: Was the year the Magic beat the Cavaliers in the
59:32
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, and that was the year that Kobe
