You you already know, man. It's Jalo urban activist slash black divist. Deion: But doctors, the doctor without the doctor. Jhalil: And this is the volume shift. So it's new, man. What's going on with you? Deion: She had a lot of shit popping right now. The biddy going up, know what Bride side with the sixes. Jhalil: Bro, that's crazy. I was so proud. I said, damn, he really came to the city, like come on, bro. That shit about to Deion: We do. Jhalil: fuck the city up though, man. I think I'ma do all like all all sub all, you mean? I don't think I'm gonna be driving down that drone, bro, during the games. It ain't no it ain't no point, bro. That shit gonna be packed up. Deion: Yeah, that's y'all gonna be crazy. I imagine Jhalil: Yeah, that's the only thing. Deion: like this will be the first time like that that you really be filled like Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: to the top, you know what I'm saying? Jhalil: Real shit, you know, besides some evil shit. Deion: I ain't gonna lie, I ain't believe what he become for real. I I thought he wasn't for real. Like, filly it as a city for him. But you know obviously he gonna live in Jersey, shit like that. Or like concert hockey, somewhere where it's nice and shit. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: But like, Jhalil: Digga, okay. Deion: coming from that L.A. life. You know what Coming from the LA life, like Miami life. We don't got no beach and shit like that. I'm just thinking it Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: wasn't me. But shit, he chose the city. You know, it was crazy too. I heard so much stuff, but you know, they can't move with these conspiracies too. Like right after that, I seen a John Baldwin thing. Jhalil: Yeah. Him and Kobe shit and all that. Deion: Yeah, I'm like, that's crazy. Jhalil: Yeah. On the twenty-fourth day, 81st yeah the NBA I said, alright down, bro. This chill, man. Let us get this chip real quick. We say that shit for later, like Squad two butter, Deion: Thank Jhalil: bro. Like the squad I like I ain't gonna lie though, I definitely seen that shit too. And now I was kinda thinking about it too, like Niggas be on the conspiracy shit a little bit, but like, man, I don't know, bro. Real shit, I I wanna see how this join play out, cause real shit. I wanna see how this Deion: I'm loving it. Jhalil: play out. Deion: If he win in the second year, then it's gonna feel like, damn, that's crazy. Because that's what the boy was saying. When he went to Miami, he won in the second year, came back to Cleveland second year, LA second year. So the pattern he's saying is from me, then two years, eight million. two years is equated to like 24 months. You know what Jhalil: The Deion: I mean? There's all these different things that you're saying. I'm like, oh shit. But you know, Jhalil: Yeah, bro. Deion: when I hear stuff like that, I sit back, you know, I don't have a judgment on it. And just, you know, watch how that shit play out. You know what mean? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: And if it do line up, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe, you know, it's some real conspiracy behind it. Jhalil: Yeah, ain't no such thing as no coincidence though, bro. Especially not in that action. It's like once you in that action, bro, you in it. Like they really played a number game. You feel me? So it's like, damn. Once certain shit like that happened, bro, like, come on, man. Like real shit, bro. Even like all his jersey numbers, bro, that shit equaled up to seventy six and all that. I was like, come on, dog. Like that shit definitely is Deion: But the only thing is like, the only thing is like, what's the point? if he is, then what? Like, what do we do? You get what I'm saying? Like he live a regular life with his wife and kids and I don't know but where do it make sense at? And to Jhalil: What they call the Philly. Deion: point out, to know the conspiracy shit, like to point out all that different stuff and line the numbers up and not like, what do they mean? Like, I don't get it. Even if you ace the test on it is like, what did you prove? Like, I don't. Jhalil: bro, all them numbers mean shit bro that it's it's called gymatria. You feel me? Like once you put all of them numbers Deion: But what is he doing? Jhalil: in, it spell words out and then it it'd be like outcomes and different shit. You feel me? Like Deion: But I know, but I'm looking at LeBron life and I'm like, where is the, if you try and make it double, like where is the double stuff? I don't, I'm not seeing. Like if he is in it, what is he doing bad? We not seeing something that he doing? Jhalil: Yeah, but that's the thing, bro. I don't think it'd be like I ain't gonna say it don't be the people, but like on some real shit, it's who control the system, dog. Like for you to be like, all right, we gonna draft you in. We gon' make you this type of player, we gon' make you the best in this generation, we gon' make sure that you blah blah like you mean it's that shit kinda deep, bro. I ain't even gonna lie, dog. That shit kinda deep all in. Amen. Deion: I'm still trying to the deep part that was like. when he championships or some shit like what is he hit? He set up every two years to win a chip. So they set them up to whether be the GOAT or with Mike or something. And then the Jhalil: Yeah, so Deion: question then become like, well, what was Mike doing? Mike was the same thing. it just become like a thing. It's like, of these people that we deem like our heros and our respected people or people that like I had more skills than a normal human and shit. It's like, you know mean? Like, they got, when we talk like conspiracy, it's like we put them like, like way above like their supernatural super union. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: And I mean, if they are doing this coke thing or whatever, it's like, all right. I don't know, I just, I'm not affected. So I guess it's like, I don't know. Jhalil: Yeah, niggas is outsiders to that shit, bro. That shit don't got shit to do with us. But if you think about it, bro, like all of that shit got a little part in society, bro. When it comes to like fraternities, sororities, nigga the NBA, the NFL, like the MLB, all of that shit is like is little sections, bro. You feel me? And it's like you gotta be in that insection even, get in the mix of that shit, bro. Real shit. And I ain't saying everybody Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: in that shit, but it's probably like Some niggas get chosen for that shit, bro. Like some niggas get hit with that, like, yo, you you wanna really step it up? You you really wanna you mean? It's probably not everybody who in the league, you feel me? Niggas on the bench and all that and like no bro, it's for the motherfuckers who people like automatically gravitate to, bro. The most influential motherfuckers and all of that. Like, that's what I'm thinking. Deion: I mean, all of that could be true as well. Jhalil: know you definitely gotta have some influence like feel me? Deion: When you talk about like, all right, like Jay and all these different people, then you look at daylight, it could probably make sense. You know what mean? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: like a sexy red and all of them. And you know, that new song and shit. my scamming, scamming, scamming at Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: me. It's like, I don't hear conspiracy about learning that. And that's it. Jhalil: but you know the conspiracy in it though. I'm out the fuck your head up. Deion: You so good. Jhalil: I said, you know what I see conspiracy. Deion: I don't know why you're doing fucking nothing. You got your Wi-Fi on? ever. Jhalil: Yeah, but the conspiracy I see with that shit is like I don't know, man. They they talking about scamming and and like motherfuckers spending it and and doing all this, bro. And it's like us at our age, you feel me, we can decipher music for what it is and just listen to the shit. But then when it's like the kids, like that's just something different, bro. They really like acting like that's really what it is, bro, like Ain't really expecting it to really be like this. They don't like decipher and interpret music the same way we do as adults and shit. You feel me? And that shit really coming off 'cause Deion: Okay. Jhalil: now you got little ass girls that's that's ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen Deion: Thank Jhalil: trying to dress like grown ass women. You feel me? Like It was like, man, that shit that shit definitely a part of that shit, bro. Cause like you gotta think about it when we was coming up, and when I was coming up, I'm looking at like Lauren Hill, Erica Badu and all that. Don't get me wrong. They was tight and all that shit. They had they certain shit, but it wasn't like ass out every John. Titties out every John. Like explicit ass raps every john. You feel me? But we did have some of that freaky shit too. Deion: . Jhalil: My nigga Uncle Luke and all them, that shit was freaky as shit. But it wasn't like the majority. That's the thing. It wasn't the majority of music now that's on the fucking radio. And it's still not even the majority of the music that's out right now. But that's the music that get pushed. So it's like, that shit definitely a part of that shit, bro. In my opinion, then girl should Deion: Yeah. I'm like, we got to stop like. The comparison, for real. And I know we can do it in hindsight because we lived already a little bit. Jhalil: Mm. Deion: It is not. You know, our life right now is taking care of our family, our shit. We don't really got nothing to do with like the outside. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You know what mean? So for that, like we separate this shit. But it's like, you know, it affects us because we looking at our children, you feel me? And what they listening to and how they interpret it. and what effect they might have from it. You know what mean? Like, so you got all these different tracks at one time. I mean, got them going to food, them on a bus or on a scepter or whatever, them just hanging with their friends and their music and the entertainment from YouTube and all these different genres and shit. So, you know what I mean? And I see it the same way. We had a lot of stuff too that was similar. And I only can say like, you know, what it did at the time of the crime. You know what saying? cause mom Dukes and them was saying the same thing about that shit. Like, low key, like if they was listening to the group, they be twerking and doing they thing, like even though they was older, you feel me? Like, yeah, they love parties Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: and all that off the same music. Like, you know what saying? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: And I'm talking about like we had some shit like, remember the bitch moaning on the song like at the fucking dollar party? Jhalil: Yeah, Jamaican John. Deion: At the dollar party, like bitches will break your pelvis on that joint, you hear me? And we was all little kids, there was no girls at the time, you feel me? Yeah, we was older, we'd be looking at our young subs like, what the is y'all doing in this basement? You feel me with the same energy we be carrying now, you know what I'm saying? But we ain't looking back at ourselves in that same manner, we like, no, but it was this, but it was that. Nah, it's the same as what they doing now. You feel me, like? We was doing the same shit. Our parents was like, look at that little girl with the little skirt on. You feel what I'm saying? And I'm talking about like, she going down on the ground with pants. Like, you know what I'm saying? With the little mini skirt on, panties, you know what saying? That's how our shit used to look. You feel me? Like. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: I can't call them little girls because we was the same age. But I'm saying how young he was. We was 15, 16, you feel me? Man, I'm talking like Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: they'll pull him down and get the jiggling right in front of you. That twerking was crazy back then. You know what mean? And it is a whole nother level though now because you can kind of see it on social media though, like little girls. And that's where it's like, that's Jhalil: Yeah, that's that's the difference. Deion: where Jhalil: Is it's right there in the forefront now. Like we used to had to go Deion: As the pain Jhalil: to places and find the shit. Like we had to go to the dollar party. We couldn't just open up our phone and just Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: slide and look for the shit. You mean we like it wasn't that accessible like how shit it is now, bro. And that's Deion: I don't Jhalil: that's probably the huge difference, bro. Like 'Cause that shit, bro, we know we ain't had no phones, nigga. Deion: I I had to, I used to learn. I used to try and jump back forth to the channel with the preview. Remember the pay-per-view, preview, tell-a-joke? I'm trying Jhalil: Uh-huh. Comcast it and all that. Deion: to Jhalil: Huh? Deion: just catch like a little clear clip. I'm like, my God. You feel me? So yeah, we definitely used to have to jump through hoops to like. had access to anything nasty or nudity Jhalil: Bro, you remember girls going wild, bro? Deion: or whatever. Hell yeah. You used to try and catch Jhalil: Bro, do you remember that girls going wild? Deion: that shit, bro. Jhalil: that shit used to do something to niggas Deion: We the Jackets, that shit like. Jhalil: back then. Re bro. But it's like now that shit just easy. Like everybody got a phone, everybody and it ain't like it's like a restrictive drone where it's like, all right, it's a face scan to see how old you is, the ex that shit. It's not like that. That shit just yes or no. If you can read like who the fuck about Deion: Thank Jhalil: to really tell the truth? No, I'm not eighteen. I'm not twenty. Like who about to hit no? Deion: Thank Jhalil: Shit crazy, bro. Like, even dude probably know the difference, yes and no. Like, he young as shit. Like, come on, bro. So it's like I ain't gonna Deion: Ain't bypassing all that. Jhalil: lie, it definitely was the same shit going on, bro. But it's just like it was just more limited back then, bro. But I remember I was a young boy, bro. My mom, like, she wasn't on none of that shit, bro. Like, I had to be older to watch shit like fucking half beat and American pie and shit like I used I really had to get a little older so I can be able to watch that shit. My mind used to be heavy on yo cover your eyes. Like shit like that, bro. It's used to be Deion: Hehehehe Jhalil: on our ass, you feel me? And that shit still ain't work. Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: So it's like now I don't know Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: what the fuck we gonna do with our like, come on, bro. Like I don't know. Like That shit's scary though, man. Deion: I mean, you know, we were a fucking helicopter like parents now, right? Like, I mean, I can't really say that because did you see them, the kids on the train and shit? Jhalil: No. Deion: No, it had to be Jhalil: Mm mm. Deion: like a hundred of them. And then it was like, they got the fight and then shit. just acting crazy, bro. I'm just like dying. But that is the thing to me that I would want to really speak on. You know what saying? It's one thing to be like this world racist or this city racist just to keep it on the local junk. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: But when you really get mature and you really start thinking about this shit, it's like... They don't just instruct like new shit just because, because they racist or they wanna control the city and all that, right? It'd be like, it's a given to me. You know what mean? Like, cause I remember driving down the street and like motherfuckers acting a donkey on Broad Street, bro. You know I mean? Like. Jhalil: Yeah, okay, true. Deion: We've been in and out, endangering shit, like all kinds of shit. And I'm like, now they put a 25 on it. And now when people mad, it's like when we got the opportunity to do right. Then somebody come down and straighten you up or put rules on you to make shit strict. You know what mean? And then you feel in that type of way. You still got an attitude like we can just do whatever the fuck we want. You know what mean? And even though that's a free job, it's like, respectfully, man, if you do got the opportunity to do what you want. Why you choosin' that type shit? Jhalil: Yeah, it don't make no sense. Deion: You can do what you want. Like do what you do out the way, individually, where you all endanger everybody else. But you gotta have a validation for what you're doing to make yourself feel good so then you're putting on a show in front of regular people. You know what mean, Zoom? No. Uh-huh. Forgot what I was saying. So Jhalil: man, we're just talking about how we got separated. Deion: But now like and and so then it's like all these kids on the train and shit now when they enforce other shit, then it's gonna be, you mean a whole nother thing and we're not gonna like say nothing about the this that causes that. You get what I'm saying? Like I think about a lot of like things that's been put in play. 'Cause niggas just O D on drone. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You mean and I like I said, we used to do it too, you feel me, when we was under the when we was under the immature act. You know what I'm saying? Like Jhalil: Yeah, for sure. Deion: I used to definitely float and have my music with the Crown Vic. Like you mean. But at the same time, like I wasn't like super drawn, but Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: I could have was endangering people too, like. You feel what I'm saying? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Shit crazy. I I don't know, man. I know we definitely like niggas definitely need rules, I'ma say. You feel me? Cause motherfuckers like, even when it is rules, bro, people, it's some people that just focus on breaking the rules, you mean? And it's like, all right, like we talked before in previous episodes, like, Some rules dumb as shit don't make no sense. You feel me? But like rules for safety, rules for the road, rules for the stoplights, rules for pedestrian crossing, certain shit, like even your shit too bombed out at night. You feel me? Like if your shit too bombed out, you ain't got that ceramic tent and all that shit, bro, you gonna run somebody the fuck over. Like so it's like them rules and regulations definitely be in place for a reason. You feel me? Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: So sometimes I don't I don't get mad when they OD on certain shit. Like, cause now you know we older, bro. Like you a fool if you just out here just doing shit just because, like, you feel me? Like niggas might turn it up on the road a little bit if you running late or you whatever. But at the end of the at the end of the day, you know in your mind, like, damn, it's my fault. I could have left earlier. Feel me? It ain't worth like putting somebody else's life on the line, you zipping through. Cutting around cars, cutting on the other side to doing. That's some dumb ass shit, bro. Cook them for that. Real shit. Deion: And that's why I lead though, is like I remember that shit used to feel fun. So I imagine like it got some adrenalin in it. You know what I mean? Like Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: and I get it, you feel me? But at the same time, like in my mature act, is like I understand that shit differently. Alright, cool, like, but yeah, like That shit was fun till I was booked and I'm sitting there like Jhalil: That shit don't be fun on that part. Deion: How the fuck did I even do that? Like this shit dumb as shit. Like You Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: know what I mean? You being that John don't even wanna tell niggas why you there. Like with some goofy shit, nigga. Niggas used to always say like some some bullshit. And it just be from them little acts. You feel me? Like all the little curls and shit on the train, right? It's almost like you could project the living like they gonna have for the next, you know, several years. You feel me? Like it's nothing we can do. We could talk all we want. We can give some like they living how they living. You get what I'm saying? Like and Like we had to go through the fights, we had to go through rolling on niggas, we had to go through all that now and we on the other side. It's like, but we can't go back. You feel me? Like the only thing in life we can't get back is time. So you know what Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: I mean? Like, it's a crazy thing, cause it's like they say the first quarter of your life, you learn it. So like. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Even though they doing all this bad shit on the train and doing all this sh it's like they going through their job. Jhalil: Yeah, through the learning process, like that mature and shit Deion: You know? Jhalil: too, like it's like certain shit you gotta you gotta get wrong and fuck up and get it your man get in trouble for it so you can learn sometimes, bruh. Real shit. Deion: I was thinking about it, I'm like, damn, how you parent like all the future of stuff that don't even exist yet. You get what I'm saying? So your kid gotta like touch the stove for you to tell him like, yo, don't touch the stove. You can't Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: like just be like, walk up, you take a tour through the house, you like, this the kitchen, don't touch the stove. They like, why are we doing all the There's no reason really to like you get what I'm saying? So yeah, like to your point, it's like it just test the stone. Never you get the lesson. Yo, don't do you get what I'm saying? So but at the same time, I'm like, do it God be like that? I don't know. Cause we all really be having the opposite. We just know where we go through. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You get what I'm saying? I don't know a life that was just straight and I ain't had to get screamed at or whatever, you feel me? Like consequence, like I got like you feel me. Jhalil: Yeah. I just know the quinse the consequences now, bro, that we see in this like them John's fucked up where it's like they don't even really get a chance to make that mistake, bro. You know how many young boys doing life? You feel me? Like how many motherfuckers that lost they life? Like I it's crazy, bro, cause like not even to compare it to our times, 'cause like, you know, niggas was losing their lives back then. Niggas was losing their lives the whole time. You feel me? But Now it's just like we in a whole new era, bro, where it's like back then to get caught, like and to get in trouble, like they really had to see you, like catch you red-handed, do this and and and track down the clues. Like nowadays, bro, that should be like as soon as you walk outside, you on 28 rings. Like you done drove through 50 cameras that tracked you from where you are Deion: Okay. Jhalil: to where you are. The the tower signal from here. There, it place you near this crime. Like that shit so it's so updated, bro. So it's like it ain't really no room for error now. Like if you doing some little petty shit, like maybe. But like certain shit, bro, like we we got lucky, dog. I ain't gonna lie, cause we was we was playing around, bro, and we really could have got cooked too. But like we had Deion: That's why it makes it hard 'cause it's like At the time of the crowd, it seemed like it fitted. You get what I'm saying? Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Like when you think back in the day, right? Buddy wasn't as big. You feel me? So 80s, 90s and all that, 100,000 and all that, like it's like you up. You feel me? You think about that nowadays, like because the expenses and everything else didn't jump. So the bodies houses, you know what I mean? It's stuff you ain't even fandom, like football players making two hundred and thirty eight, like but back in the day when they was getting six million, three million, that we thought that was, you know what I'm saying? Jhalil: Yeah, we thought that was bread. Deion: Shit like that. You get what I'm saying? So at the time of the crime when we was doing crime, it's like all that shit was Extrain that like what the fuck? You got seventy-eight years? Like we looking at that shit like what the fuck? Who the fuck? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: That's where the join niggas getting football numbers. Jhalil: Yeah, real shit. Deion: Evolved. Now they gotta take it to the max max. Now you getting two life sentencing and 68 years. Like who the fuck Jhalil: I mean, damn. Well shit. Deion: do I live like that? Like they wanna wake you up, kill you again. You know what I'm saying? Like on some weird shit, but like that's how shit been. You get what I'm saying? Like tickets for a mojo Brooks join, like 150. Yeah. You mean it's like Jhalil: emojo art, you feel me like but the being yfty though, like for a comedy show, you know that shit wasn't never like that. Deion: But money went up with the streams and everything, so it's like niggas could charge. Almost accordingly, like you feel what I'm saying? Like and Jhalil: You seen them hold tickets, bro. That shit was high as shit. Shit was Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: high as shit, bro. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Cheapest joint probably was like eight hundred, nine hundred. Like, come on, bro. Like, it's alright, dog. Deion: That's that's that's amazing, like. Jhalil: Yeah, like that's crazy. Deion: And you know the thing like Jhalil: Before some old shit. Deion: And to think like most people i in the inner cities is like fucked up. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Niggas was there. Deion: I'm like, how? Where is that? Like, I don't know, like, but then you look at real life, it's like, motherfuckers really struggling like a motherfucker. You get what I'm saying? But to have that or to experience that is something you would like really go through the limps to do. You get what I'm saying? Like, that's that's a tough journal. Like, man. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: That's a tough job. Jhalil: Yeah, it's like I don't know, bro. It's just me, like I ain't a fan that bad. And like you feel me, or nothing like that where it's like I'ma be like, fuck it, bro. I'ma go in my account, take a stack out my savings account, then go to a count like what? Like I don't give a fuck who like Deion: And Jhalil: you are? I'm good, bro. We can hop on the flight, go to DR with that. Like real shit, like come on, bro. Come back to the house, we can go somewhere, stay there, the hotel, all that. So it's like, nah, bro, that that don't even make no sense. Well, to me personally, you know, to each his own. Like, if you got money to do shit like that and that's what you wanna do, so be it. Like, you mean niggas ain't hating, that's what's up if you wanna do that. But me as a person, bro, like, ain't nobody that important to me, bro. I don't even like paying that shit for for rent and and bills and shit like that. So I'm definitely not about to I pay that for to see somebody on the stage, bro. Like that's acting crazy to me, bro. Like I don't even really wanna say what it is, cause niggas gonna be hurt. The the two the two letter abbreviation is D E. You mean so you tell me it's the twelve hundred they see, soon as we start talking ass shit, Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: bro, reconnecting. Yo Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: this Joe Wildin', bro. That's crazy. Deion: That's crazy. Jhalil: Still think it's coincidence, bro. Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: I gonna lie. It's just like, man, it's too much more important shit that I could spend a thousand dollars on, like, you man. Deion: And sure, but that's Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: what I mean. Like, when everybody travels every day, bro, like, I see poverty, like I see people going through this shit. And a lot of it is poverty and a lot of it is like them just being in, maybe disgust with the life. Like. Yo, see yourself, do yourself. So you like fucking up a little bit, disgust. Like, you know what mean? And even when you think like, once you get better and mature or like experience like loving yourself, then it become like, but damn, I want better. But it's like the stuff that you didn't do while you was not loving yourself, it's so damaging that now you want like. Like you get what I'm saying? Change or be healthy or do whatever little better. It's like you got all them stains now. So you got to work out of that just to get to the... And so a lot of times it'll be like, fuck it. You know what mean? I'ma just roll with how it is. You feel me? Cause I'm walking past conversations. It just be like... It just seems so angry. Everybody seems Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: so angry. Like when you telling stories and shit, it'd be like about what a bitch did at work, what a bitch did on the block. Like what a bitch did. Like it's always that, you know what mean? Like the conversations I be hearing and then like grown people like growing and fighting, bro. Jhalil: Yeah, that's crazy work, bro. Real right, like this thirty, forty year old women fighting, fifty year old women fighting, like that shit crazy, bro. And not even just women, niggas too. Like, you feel me? Is it it's crazy, bro. I I don't know what the remedy is to that shit, bro. But I see why people like when people do get enough bread and all that shit, they decide to get out of the hood. Feel me, cause it's like that shit do got something to do with your environment, Deion: Thank Jhalil: bro. Like if you walk outside, everybody angry all day. It's like, how the fuck you gonna be the only happy person? You feel Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: me? Like that shit, it don't really make sense, bro. Energy is magnetic. So if everybody shit on some evil shit, everybody shit on some disappointed, angry shit, like it's kinda Deion: Mm-hmm Jhalil: hard to dig yourself out of that shit. Deion: Hell yeah, I was experiencing that. I'm why the fuck I'm so angry? You feel me? But it only be like when I'm by myself. Like I don't like to display emotion around other humans. And that could be my Capricorn or whatever, but it's like, always, you mean, like you can't never tell. what I'm on, you feel me? Like, at least the emotions behind it, unless I want that to be shown. You get what I'm saying? And I'm like, damn, like, I'm in the, the will. Hey, don't get the fuck out of the way. Dickhead, like, fuck you, Dawn. you feel me? And it's like, people will know me and be like. I never feel like, that's buck, like, you get what I'm saying? Cause they don't be me ever used to like seeing that type of, but at the same Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: time, it's like, if I love you, I'm passionate. Like you will get that. You know what mean? like, Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: I don't want to see you die and like, yeah, I love you. But like, I don't get that to everybody. You feel what I'm saying? It's like, I'm like, damn, why I'm so angry though? Ain't nothing going on for real. it's my thoughts. I'm trying to get somewhere or all of these different thoughts. I imagine bro like not even a computer like my thinking where everybody else, but it's like, you can see similarities and shit. And Philly is like, I don't know if it's like me. Cause I'm, it's not just like black people and shit. It's like the city. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: It's not that many pockets of like motherfuckers that be on some happy shit or like, I mean, it is. But it's tough as shit though. It's tough as shit. So I get it with them people, man. Like, I get it. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: But at the same time, like I said, we go through our quarters, our seasons and shit, but we so hard on each other about it. You know what mean? You go hard as shit on a motherfucker and your shit stink too. Yeah, anyway. Jhalil: Earl work, bro. That should be crazy. Like that's when motherfuckers going the hardest. Like it don't be like really nobody with all they shit together on that shit, like, period, bro. Like, you feel me? That's Deion: Go ring that bell for us. Jhalil: that's what I'm saying, like Bro shit, bro. Like That's why it's really like, yo, you change yourself, bro. You change the world. Like, real shit, bro. And then sometimes to change yourself, you gotta change your environment. Real shit, bro. Cause I ain't gonna lie, I was the same way, bro. I used to be on some shit, bro. You you know how I was, bro. Like pre marriage, all that shit, bro. Like, I used to be angry as shit. Don't get me wrong, like we was talking the other day, like Niggas kind and all that, but that don't mean niggas is nice. You feel me? Like and I ain't really had that determination back then, but now it's like it's a little different, bro. Like I changed my my areas up and what I do and what I be around. So it's like it's a little hap like it's a little easier to be happy about shit now. Don't get me wrong, niggas be angry too. Cause like I do that same shit driving down the road, like Have some regard Deion: you Jhalil: for my time too, bro. If you see me going ten, fifteen miles over the speed limit, don't jump in the fast lane and then on some slow shit. Cause now I'm ready to fuck you up. You feel me? 'Cause Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: now you put my life in danger, everything. You you drawing, bro. Deion: where Jhalil: It's like that shit be crazy, bro. So I I got that same type of rule rage when people don't got regards for other people. Like, Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: I hate that shit, bro. Like, it's a lane for everybody driving. It's a lane for everybody in the workplace. It's a lane for everybody in the streets. You feel me? Don't cross into that other lane unless you're ready, bro. Unless you ready to Deion: So thanks for Jhalil: be with that lane and tells. You feel me? Like, real shit, bro. There's nothing that grind my gears more than that shit, bro. You see motherfuckers driving steady speed. It be a little cut off joint or a little entrance. Motherfucker get on that joint doing ten. Everybody bawlin' out. So it's like what if we all crash, bro? Just wait. You feel me? Like Deion: I remember one time though, right? I fucking did that, you know, the glide. It was like the slow glide and shit. But it's like, you know, I don't think she recognized like that mirror. You feel me? Like that mirror. And Mary probably played with niggas and shit, and so she think I'm farther back than I guess. But it was an old woman and shit, and I'm like, damn. But I'm like, hey, old bitch, you shouldn't even be out there. Like, why fuck is you even on the highway? You get what I'm saying? Like, it just make you. Yeah, I think like that stuff. Jhalil: Just turn your fucking head. Don't just rely on the mirrors, bro. Turn your fucking head to see like Deion: That's why I'm saying though, it's like, the whatever frequency static that they putting up, it should got anybody feeling like that. You feel me? Like, you gonna curse an old lady out? It's like, on any other circumstance, right? If you remove like all the emotional stuff, you know what mean? You don't even mind it. Like, you get what I'm saying? Like, You know the times when you are happy as shit? Like you open the door, 16 people didn't walk in. But it's like, I just gotta just check. was like, whatever it was, you feel me? You just in your bed. And maybe like, it's not enough of that type of stuff happening for us in the hood. So like, you know what mean? We'd be walking around bitter as shit, like mad at everybody and shit, you feel me? But. Those same people, like I said, they got spirits of moments where they just like super happy, polite, you know what I'm saying? Like they'll do anything for you, anything. You're like, damn, you're the same person. It's like, like you said, the circumstances and all that has changed. So yeah, when people say it, people be making it like. money change you is a bad thing. It's like, nigga, of course it's gonna change. Like I was just eating oodles and noodles like this. Now I can buy shit and do whatever. Like I can get a chef. Now, of course it's gonna change how it is and all that. You feel me? That's accordingly, right? You know what mean? But I think people not going through another life. enough personal celebrations for themselves, like to feel happy for other people as well. You get what I'm saying? Cause when you're a joyous Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: motherfucker and things be happening for you and all that. We used to call like church people that are using praise God all the time, but they was always happy, always proud. You feel me? Like Jesus this, Jesus that we can talk about the shit we want. But it's like, we'd be like. You Joe as shit. Like, you're like, calm down. You feel me? And it's like, because we not happy in our lives, he's just like going to everybody like, bitch, you too fucking happy. I remember when I went to Virginia for the first time, like everybody, black, white, everybody was just speaking like, hey, how you doing? What's up? I'm like, Joe as shit, bro. Like, who the fuck is you? Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: You feel me? And I'm like, damn, that's how we are with each other as humans. You know, it's a low tolerance. If I understand something and you don't, I got a low tolerance. you dumb as shit. Like, you get what I'm saying? Like, let you not know how to spell a word, pronounce the A to word or whatever. like, the biggest go through a bean on you and shit. Make you feel like you're the lowest, like. versus like you just telling me or correcting me. And I know it's a thing about people being corrected too, you feel me? Like, motherfucker, I feel some type of way being corrected. But it's like, man, I rather you feel a type of way about me correcting you than not correcting you. I'm making judgment on like you being dumb as shit or something like that. Cause I always think about it, right? Like women. have squads, squads, even men too. And niggas would be like, having them inside. situations right beef so whatever like where they coming at they hold me and shit it's like but you friends with them I you get what I'm saying? I'ma be friends with motherfuckers that I talk bad about. Jhalil: Yeah, it's crazy. Deion: What that say about me? And I'm with, like you get what I'm saying? Like you a dusty bitch, but you print, like you cool with it. So it gotta be beyond the dustiness. Like why you hanging with her? She dusting me and shit like that. You could just remove yourself. But you gotta have a static. You gotta have that like. that negative against somebody else. You get what I'm saying? I'm like, if I ride past two people arguing, I'm like, why they don't just separate? Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: It's like they gotta argue, they gotta like, you know what I'm saying? Jhalil: It's back to the simple shit, bro. Energy is magnetic, bro. Real shit. Like, that shit really magnetic, cuz. Like, I moved out this bitch a couple years ago, bro, from from down like Smyrna, Dover, all of that shit, even out here, bro. Like, that shit totally different. Motherfuckers is like Well, I can at least say for the places I go to every morning I go get my coffee, I go harry your gas, I go to this store, like it's always the same thing. Yo, good morning, how you doing today? Yo, have a good one. Yo, do like it's Deion: Thank Jhalil: always that. You feel me? So it's like I can't be the nigga that's like, No, bro, I ain't trying to air that shit right now. You Joe is like It's it's really about the environment that you in, bro. I'm telling you, like, cause when you step into other places just like VA, you said like ew everybody was that's that's our job to find them places, bro, that's gonna treat us like that. So we can be a better like you mean, a better person for the fucking world. But we can't just keep claiming a block, Deion: you Jhalil: claiming the hood, claiming the gutter, like if we gon' keep treating each other like that, bro. That's shitty. Why do niggas swear that's bangin', bro? Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: Like why niggas think like being on some evil shit, being on some like on some some mean ass shit is thorough. That shit not thorough, bro. And that shit showed that niggas is like poor. Like not just poor with money, but like poor mentality. You feel me? Like Deion: Poor attitude. Poor whatever. Jhalil: Real shit pour and pouring shit. You feel me? Like your score is poor, bro. You feel why you wanna keep being at that level, dog? That shit not bangin', dog. Real right. And it's like the more places you be, the more places niggas go to and all that, you realize, bro, that's shitty to be like that. Cause in in the real world, bro, once you take once niggas take that mentality to other places, it's like Bro, nobody wanna be around you guys. Like you don't fit in. Deion: Thank Jhalil: We only fit in in that one block, that one section, our one town, or one hood. Like, come on, bro. The world big as shit. Like, I don't know. Deion: And I remember that too, like, that's definitely true, right? And I give a potent example, right? If you out the hood and you perform like the hood shit and there's not that environment, like it will quickly challenge you and you either got like stay with that shit or you're going to change like a motherfucker. You get what I'm saying? Like Jhalil: Yeah, yeah. Deion: you're going to adapt because you can't stand alone like that. You get what I'm saying? Like Jhalil: And Deion: the same way, like even if you want a fucked up block. It's it's rare that people come from them blocks and go to work every day and just, they gotta be in their maturity and all of this. You feel what I'm saying? But even them, once upon a time, they was there. So even if they shifted from the street shit to working and taking care of their family, like, you know, we had a lot of motherfuckers on the block. M, you know what I'm saying? Mr. Bob, all these different people, right? Like, and then you had a Mr. Trustee and all them. You feel me that? That felt like, you know, their house was better. Their cars was better. You get me like. damn if you touch them Jones or you be on a property, all different types of shit, you feel me? And you know how we grew up in Philly, we got row homes. Jhalil: Yeah, everybody should touch it. Deion: So if it's 10, 15 of us, we gon' be on other people's property. There's no way, you know what I mean? But you know, some of us have respect and we see motherfuckers come in that live there and we move. You feel what I'm saying? The disrespect to be like, I'm just gonna keep standing here even though I know you coming in this shot. That's just like Jhalil: Yeah, yeah. Deion: ignorance and immaturity, you feel me? Like, and like you said, showing that your life is hurting, like you hurting. Like, you know what mean? Like you're not seeing yourself as a loving human. You feel me? Because Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: what's that for? Like there's no, there's no reason to do Jhalil: It's no gain to that shit, bro. It's no gain. Deion: another human life. It's like, when you see people, Jhalil: And you limit yourself like Deion: you see motherfuckers double park ass in the air, like, and there's a parking spot that you get pulled in. Jhalil: And niggas will wait for a while. You feel me? Niggas'll wait a little minute or two. But then it's like, all right, you dragging your ass, you beep. Now a motherfucker got an attitude. It's like, bro, get the fuck out the way, bro. You feel me? Like, what the fuck do we got to do with your endeavors at this place where you blocking us the fuck up? Like, what if it's an emergency, bro? You feel me? What if some real shit happened or some shit going on and you just in the way? And then you got the nerve to feel some type of way. A motherfucker wants you to get out the way. It's Deion: Good. Jhalil: like, bro, that's all poor shit, bro. Like, I'm cool, bro. Real shit. That's wrong. Like, I ain't. If niggas like that, bro, you can't be like that around me, bro. I ain't hanging with that. I ain't fucking with that. I ain't accepting none of that bullshit, bro. Like, I make Deion: All right. Jhalil: it my business. Even if I do gotta stop, I'm gonna be like, all right. I can't I ain't gonna double park. I see four cars right behind. I'm not about to double park and do all this extra shit. I'ma just drive down the block, pull over and walk to where I gotta go to. Feel me? Like come on, bro. Like people gotta have regard for other people's shit and other people's time. Like that go back with the driving shit. How you don't got no regard for nobody else time? So that means you just got all the time in the world. You know what that mean to me? That means you're a fucking loser. Get out the way, bruh Deion: Thank Jhalil: Real shit. Like, niggas got shit to do. Just 'cause you don't have shit to do, that don't mean everybody else know like, come on, bruh. Grow the fuck up, like. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: And the the main part that kill me, niggas account to the car. They don't be like, yo, my fault. I had the like it ain't never no like de-escalation. There's always a a brick or like yo nigga the fuck out of here. What you be like, bro? Cause niggas not here chilling with you, dickhead. We tryna go. You feel me? Like what Deion: You Jhalil: you mean? Like you swear we thugging the guy, like get the fuck out the way, bro. It's not just your role, dog. So it's like when people Deion: Thank Jhalil: don't have no regard for other people and all of that shit, bro. Like, that's the most dangerous place to be. Cause real shit, when they don't got no regard or self-respect for themselves, like, bro, they the most dangerous people to be around. It's like, bro, fuck that. Get away from that shit, bro. If you notice, like, damn, I'm the nice person on my block. Everybody on some shit. Deion: It's finished. Jhalil: Niggas keep breaking in my car. They see me get up at four in the morning, go drive the kids off, go to work, come home at 10 at night. Niggas sitting on my steps, niggas throwing trash on my shit, bro. It's time for you to roll, bro. You too good for that shit, dog. It's alright. Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: Your man, you too good for that shit, my G. Get up out of there. Your man. It's Deion: No. Jhalil: like life won't give you that opportunity too, bro. You feel me? But when you When you just thinking it's all about you and your feelings and you got this negative ass attitude, bro, you get exactly what you deserve. All negative shit. You don't get no money. You don't get no like none of that shit, bro. That's why niggas be hurt. You gotta change yourself to change the world, bro. That shit is alchemy Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: like a motherfucker, bro. Like that shit all metaphysics, bro. You thinking on some bullshit, that's with life gonna give you some bullshit, bro. You know you a winner, bro. You know you got a good attitude. You know that this gonna bring you this, you won't win. Or you at least won't get put in positions where you can win, or is an opportunity for you to win. You feel me? Remember we was talking the other day, I'm thinking, I'm like, damn, bro, I got the business shit doing this and doing that. And then we had that rap, bro, I got offered a job at this fucking this pest this pest control draw. Good ass join. And I got like two or three jobs next week, bro. Back to back to back. You feel me? Deion: You. Jhalil: Right back. All the days that niggas had to chill and all that, like, that shit nail everything open it back up, bro. But it's all about what you feelin' heard, bro. Deion: Thank you. Jhalil: So it's like, that shit the the proof in the puddin, bro. Like it ain't no need there ain't no need, bro. Sometimes it is like we were saying, it's time to chill. Just chill for that moment, bro. You be alright. Accept that chill. And then next week you ain't gonna be chillin' no more, bro. Just know that. Deion: You You Jhalil: Real shit. But you try to fight that chill and and all that, that's when more distress comes. It's like, man, yeah, bro. Us as the people, man, we gotta like listen and and like just look around like at the people who are winning and the people who like who we strive to be in the same positions as. Not the like be like people or nothing, but if you see somebody in a career that you want to do, bro, just take a just take a second and look and observe they shit. Observe how they treat other people, observe how they drive, observe how they dress and present themselves to the world. Deion: Okay. you Jhalil: All of that shit, bro, cause is come on, bro. God tried something different. Deion: But you know, man, this is John. This is a tough John life. Because it's like. I hear all that stuff and that's all positive. But it's lying. What I'm seeing, in people's everyday lives is like... There's a billion people on the earth. Right, under a million is gonna be driving and operating and moving at their best operations. You get me? And a lot of other motherfuckers, man, just... You know, cause you can see motherfuckers man, that's really good people that just don't get breaks, that just don't, like they can't, Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: you know what mean? Like, and they stay faithful, they stay like on a straight jump, they don't, they don't rear, Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: but they just can't get a break. Like, you know I mean? Like, and you be like, damn, like Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: that's just, you feel me? Cause you gotta think about it, man. Like, Think about rappers, right? If these niggas really, the lives that they talking about, that mean they terrorized first in their previous living. And now they get to make millions of dollars and shit. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You get what I'm saying? And it's like, all these motherfuckers you've been seeing work 40 years, they gotta work another job Jhalil: Still work. Deion: after fucking retirement to fucking live and shit like, it's like, that's weird, like, how do that happen? You get what I'm saying? And Blessings, they don't even be tight about it. They're like, nah, I my 40, you know, it's all right, baby, I'll do the. They fine with it, but people that got different energies on looking at things, but know, shit with a different perspective. Like, grandma, you don't go through that. Like, no, fuck that. They gotta give you what you earn. Like, you get what I'm saying? But she's fine Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: with it. She's fine. You can't put... Jhalil: And that's the thing, bro. It's probably acceptance. When you are accepting Deion: Hmm Jhalil: shit, you feel me? That's the difference. You gotta know, like, bro, where you where you want to go. Deion: But it's also like, it's also us putting, it's also us putting our stuff on other people. Jhalil: Mm. Deion: Like I said, you might say that you're doing it in good faith, like you got good intentions. Remember we talked about intention versus impact. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: is this like doing it. And you get what I'm saying? Because I remember going back to Hutch after learning stuff from reconstruction. And I'm geared to like teaching these guys the same thing that I'm learning, but they're not receiving it or accepting it in the same manner, So then it Jhalil: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Deion: becomes like a thing. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: So for me, I needed validation to be like, no, but you doing your fucking thing. Like you smart as shit, you brought some good shit back to the block. Like you get what I'm saying? So I'll be feeling like that's how people be too. Like you want to help your mom because you want it to be like, no, I help my mom. You feel me? Like, do you do it and you don't gotta tell nobody? Jhalil: Yeah, I mean Deion: lot of times, no, like we be on the phone, girl, I paid six bills of his and like, why you pay them six bills when you gonna be on the phone with anybody else? Jhalil: Real shit, bro. Deion: Telling everybody what you just did, like, for what? Now they got an opinion about him. Now whatever he going through in life, you just added six more thoughts to go against him. You know what I'm saying? Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: But it just be like, people don't be thinking like, this is damage and, you know what mean? Impact versus intention. know what mean? A lot of times you might say, I ain't intent to say that, but the impact was way heavier than, yeah. So you gotta think about that. you know, speak their mind straight up and say they don't lie and all of that. It's like, yeah, that shit is viable and yeah, it's needed. But at the same time, you would be called the asshole. Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Yeah, mean, all right, I get that it was true, but you see the nigga crying, why you going on? What you doing there? Yeah, what you doing? Jhalil: Yeah, you gonna finish him like Deion: Hey. You know what mean? Like, what? They say you cursed them out or you set them straight. Jhalil: That shit crazy, man. Damn, this is a 10 already, bro. ain't gonna lie, man. I'm ready to Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: slide. Deion: Mmm. What are you doing with shoes? Jhalil: Man, I got the spot, man. We gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna drop that joint once we get off of here. No. All right. Deion: Thank I'm I forgot again. We had a show, man, you know. Jhalil: Yeah man, we gon' catch y'all later, man. Take heed to some of the shit that we saying. And we ain't always right. You feel me? But we ain't always wrong either. So look in for yourself and and try some of these things that, you know, that we brought forth. Like, just try to think about some of that shit, bro. Like stop thinking that the world is just about you solely, bro. It's other people that live here. It's other people we gotta share this shit with. And the more that we share ourselves and share with the people around us, bro, the better this shit will be. You know what I mean? So even if you you in the hood where everybody on Deion: Thank Jhalil: this certain genre, the culture is on some some mean, ignorant ass shit, bro. Try to change the culture a little bit a day at a time. You feel me? You can be that change. Like don't always wait for somebody else to do it, bro. Don't always wait until like niggas say it's thorough. The try it and all that, bro. No. How about you that's the challenge, you make it though, bro? Real shit. That's what I did. I don't play that shit, bro. Like, I'ma be my true natural self every time, bro. I'm a proud motherfucker. You feel me? Like I walk around head up high. Yo, how you doing? What's what's going on? Y'all y'all good? Have a good I get out the Deion: you Jhalil: way. I'm not double parking blocking shit up. You feel me? Come on, bro. Try it. Like. Guarantee you would have changed some shit in your life, dog. Shit, man. We ain't gonna wrap your head up, man. This is the shift. Sh volume shift, nigga. Deion: to next. Jhalil: Mm.
