• Deion: Remember you remember like being in the bulbs at at Purple Studio, like you mean? Like we meeting there, blowing outside first, you feel me? ⁓ having the key. You know what I'm saying? So we right in the building, ⁓ just locked up, you mean? And then was the middle of ⁓ University City, so Jhalil: you Mm-hmm. RUIN! Mm-hmm. Yeah, Rorex, I'd out the purple too, man. ⁓ Deion: That's ⁓ flavor around there, like for sure, like you know, purple doing politic I mean, you know, she in politics and do a lot of community stuff, especially out of West Philly, like on on the deuce. I mean, so a lot of that stuff that be happening in the city, like around us, that be like purple and shit. And her husband ⁓ Jhalil: Mmm. Yeah . Deion: You know, he ⁓ A a a black well. Jhalil: Yeah, they have even worse. Deion: And even th they yeah, they family got history in the city. Jhalil: Yeah, real rap bro. My grandmom used to be heavy with the Blackwells, you feel me? Back then when I was a pup pup, I always heard that name bro since I lived on 37th Street. You feel me? Deion: Sure. I think that's what we all talk about enough, even too, man. Like, you know, the city can be labeled a lot of different things, but it's like when you talk like when you start really talking about it, bro, that's your inspiration. Like, you feel me? Like, we had the LeRe the L'Ray, you know, I can't talk the fucking Lorraine divide. Jhalil: So that was always. Deion: The divine hotel. Jhalil: ⁓ huh. I was a drone on Broad Street, right? Deion: I done heard a lot of story. Yeah, bro. So you know what we come about, all we see is the abandonedness of it. Jhalil: and it was graffiti'd up like I used to always wonder how a nigga's graffiti'd up there like Deion: Yeah. That's just amazing too like those niggas is YouTube. Jhalil: All right, bro, that's all this shit. I'm like, yo, you got you really got to have a harness and equipment. They're like, you feel like you're snapping. That's another thing, bro. Them graffiti artists, man, they go all out because like they tag the city up, bro. Like it'd be on bridges. It'd be on high buildings and subway stations like all the places we would never go like, ⁓ man. Deion: Yeah. ⁓ Mm. Jhalil: Real rap bro, I did my own, my senior project on the art of graffiti, like, you feel me? Cause I always, that shit made the city look decent. Like it get a city some expression. You feel me? It's not just like all politics, all white collar, all like, no bro. It's a certain like oomph when it comes to the art in the city. Like real rap bro. Deion: The ⁓ Well I Flavor, like some flavor in this joke. Some art, man. You need art, like art and everything like. And and you know, speaking of, like, I was just at the graffiti pair. I thought that Joe was like gone. I thought they tore it down because like it's a new pathway kind of to it. Cause you know they built they built all new Jhalil: ⁓ shit, it's not up. Hmm Mm-hmm Okay. Deion: like develop the like hopes or the or that pair right there. I'm like, damn, like he took the but sh we went back that jaw, that shit's still there, you know me? Everybody still come down there to do they take, you know what I'm saying? And to take pictures and the and the and the check out the art and all that. But that that's heavy in the biddy, like, you know what I'm saying? But back to the l the Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Yeah! Deion: the Divine Hotel, like a lot of artists back in the day, Temptations, all of them, they used to come to the city and perform at the Uptown Theater. You know what I mean? Which was probably like our ⁓ like our a pile up. Or, you know what I mean, whatever you want to consider like a main concert having type ⁓ you know venue and shit. Jhalil: Mmm. Yeah Deion: Back in the day, you feel me? Like, mind you, like like I said, we come about where the uptown theater is abandoned, the divine is banding, like all these drones is abandoned. So we don't really get the history unless we talk to people that was there. And like I'm like, damn, when I start hearing this, I'm proud of the city, like, you feel me? I'm like, damn, like this why everybody loves Philly for real. Like this why like Jhalil: Hey, we're back. Deion: The soul music, the the food, the culture, all that, like it'd be more than just the the violent shit and the you mean the the nonsense and shit like that. Jhalil: you Bro, right bro, because if you think about it, man, it's two million, it's two million people, probably almost three million people in Philly, bro. Like, if it was that bad, bro, like, you would be in danger every single time you visit, you feel me? And that's not the truth. That's definitely not the truth, dawg, because anytime I slide down there, it's not on that. But then that go back to like, you know, you get what you put out too. Deion: Right. Jhalil: Cause like say if you portray that type of energy, that's the energy you carry and you probably gonna get the energy that you know, that you put out. But if you ain't on that though, you just come to Sicy, out of towners and all that, you gonna have a good time every time, bro. Deion: Yeah. Yeah. Jhalil: We don't got that type of city where it's like some of them is like, no, it's on some gang shit. You can't go here and you can't go there like, cause I hear a lot of shit about like the beach. You feel me for, you know, for people who not from Philly, like Kensington and all that, like, yeah, don't get me wrong. It is dangerous on some of them back blocks, but like overall, like bro, there's a lot of love out there, bro. Like there's a lot of love out there. Like you ain't about to just be. Deion: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Jhalil: in danger because you out there. That's, that's fake, bro. That's a narrative. Deion: Yeah. But it is crazy, you know. Jhalil: Yeah, that drum definitely is crazy. Like you will slide through that drum and lock your doors and hit it a couple times to make sure it should lock. There's a lot going on. If you ain't used to that volume, to that capacity, like you, you're going to be a little shook up at first. Deion: No. That's a hell of a value shift. You come from out of town and you see that? You think, what the fuck? But at the same time, like, I it won't I don't think it'll be violent, but like, yeah, you d you will get robbed or something like that, cause like the whole plot of being out there is to get the drugs and to get the drugs, you need the money shoot like. Jhalil: Yeah. you Deion: You ain't working and all that, you ain't a functioning addict. You own that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Or you selling your body, or you stealing tools, or whatever they out there doing, you feel me, to get the money. You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, like people also is stuck in a addiction, but they know the consequences too. So everybody ain't ready to do something that's Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Baaaayyyy Deion: gonna get them taken way away from the drug. Jhalil: then nah, that ain't gonna happen. Deion: Mm-hmm. No, like I need mine, like you feel me? So a little small crime or something they'll do. You feel me? Cause they know they'll be back out, but they ain't killing nobody or nothing. Jhalil: Damn, so do you like, all right, so, you know, us both being like fully natives, like, you think anything can ever change that demographic? Like, you think anything can ever change out there? Deion: What do you mean? Jhalil: Like the way that it is, like you think it ever like be a possibility that it's cleaned up out there, John, like more buttoned up. Deion: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's like that's like ⁓ when they say ⁓ we're gonna give you these free flu shots. Jhalil: Hehehehe Deion: And then you had a flu and then they got medicine for you. You get what I'm saying? So it's like they could do they could clean up when any inner they started already. You know what I mean? So a lot of those blocks, it used to be a longer stretch. Jhalil: Yeah, they used to go to damn near like, Frankfurt too. Deion: Yeah, that shit cutting off now, like you feel me and all they do is migrate now though. So they just a little farther up towards the now, you feel me? Like you could you could see, you know, some dippers walking up up that strip. You get what I'm saying? So and some reality, like, you know, they could do it and but at the same time, you know, that's money, they that's Jhalil: did. Deion: That's money like. And not even on that type time, but like on a type time, like a lot of programs get set up only because you went through a trial. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You see what I'm saying? So if you come home from prison and you wanna change your life, ⁓ they got thousands of programs. Jhalil: And that was that brought me to my next point too. Deion: You feel me? So you you gonna take away the the the the ⁓ If you take away people going to jail, you're gonna take away them programmed. Jhalil: Yay. Deion: You see what I'm saying? So and they got SOS on the on down Kensington where they're giving out clean needles and HIV tests and that's what I'm so without that type of without that type of environment, you can't put that type of thing down there. You see what I'm saying? So they utilizing and one when you know, just like with ⁓ anything when they Jhalil: Yeah, that's what I was about to say. But do you think that's like a benefit? Deion: When they finish utilizing the dog, they gonna stop it. You feel me? Jhalil: Yeah, but that's what I meant to ask too. You think that's like, well, I don't know. For me on the outside looking in, like, all right, it is cool that they got like the safe use spots and all that, but where you can go get fresh needles and all of that shit. But it's the part inside of me too, like, bro, that's bullshit. You feel me? It's good, but then it's like, I don't know. It's not that good because it's like, all right, we know y'all getting high, so we not going to try to stop y'all, but we going to help y'all get high. In my eyes, personally, like, man. Deion: Because you you you can't, like you can offer everything, but if a person ain't ready, they ain't ready. So everybody got that mindset through the 12-step programs, through the AAs and all these different drones. So everybody's been programmed through that program. You feel me? So even the people that's giving it out is on the same program that a addictive person would get off on. Jhalil: Yeah. Thanks. Deion: I mean, you think you get what I'm saying? So yeah, they think like being out there and just providing that stuff, at least is this, at least is that. You feel me? Like at least it's clean, and at least is and then it's it's it's it's managed because it's in that area. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gah. Deion: You get what I'm saying? So you imagine though, like I see once they start crossing Scepter and you trying to go down tank is like a no-go. They got cops on the jaw, everything like you see what I'm saying? Is is concentrated camp. Jhalil: Yeah. Yay. Deion: In a way, you feel what I'm saying? So it it's like in Jhalil: Trying to figure out how you go and get it out of this shit. Deion: Yeah, because it's like I be I got all these different thoughts, right? Because it's not just Philadelphians. Jhalil: Yeah, nah, not at all. That's a huge misconception. People travel there to go, you know mean? people travel from California, Colorado, like everywhere to, you know, like, cause that's the capital for real, for real for that shit. Deion: You know what I mean? Like Yay. That word of mouth was heavy. Jhalil: And I ain't gonna act like, you know, them programs is all bad. Like I said, it's bullshit, but at the same time, it probably is keeping down the spread of disease and different shit like that. You feel me? So that's the positive, isn't it? Like, so I can't knock them for trying. Feel me? Because like you said, bro, if you wanna get high, motherfuckers gonna get high, bro. There's nothing that we can do to stop that. Like we done seen that with people in our families, friend group. Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: people we went to school with, everything, everybody in our community, like, we just seen it as some aspect, you feel me, sir? It ain't always bad, I ain't gonna say that. But like... Deion: Yeah. No, because if you gotta understand it's like Drugs is a a a distraction or a deflect from whatever you going through, right? Like Or, you know, you was invited to the party and because of the addictive chemicals in it, you you you stayed at the party. You get what I'm saying? Jhalil: Yeah Deion: But like I said, all of that stuff is in a cycle. You get the drugs, you get the the programs, you get the the cr the crime, you get all of that. And I can fix you too. You feel me? Like I can fix you too. You know what I'm saying? And it's unfortunate, you know. And the mishap is like, everybody if if you ain't doing drugs, you wish you you know, you know the model. Jhalil: We're worried about you, damn. Deion: Couldn't be me or like, you know, ⁓ that's on them. Shit. They the ones who did the drugs. Right? Jhalil: Yes, please. Deion: The heart, the like and you know, the empathy and the sympathy is like Human on human patience is like Jhalil: Yeah, that shit thin. I ain't gonna lie, like... Deion: But you won't say that you contribute to him or her getting out there. And that's the fucked up part. Like you'll talk all your shit. Like you this clean person, but like you probably had something to do with pushing that person to that to that way, you get me? Like. Jhalil: Or shit, even being in the mix, even selling that shit, all that shit, bro. And I don't know at what point in time it happened that made drug promotion thorough. I don't know what part it made it be thorough to use drugs and sell drugs and shit like that, but it definitely happened, bro. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: And that shit hit all the generations, bro. Cause that shit hit our genre too, bro. Like back in the day, you know, in the seventies and all that, they was doing dope and shit like that. Then when we was coming up, we was drinking juice, in Xandies and Perks and shit and weed. Like, so I don't know when that came about, but it definitely. Deion: I mean But I'll tell you how easy it is, right? Just how easy it is, bro. We eat chicken. But you don't think about the chicken when you eating the chicken. You see what I'm saying? So you don't you're not thinking about it being a drug and it being chemicals and e you're not thinking that. Jhalil: Just thinking about the taste of the chicken. Deion: You just enjoy you just enjoying the chicken or you just enjoying the weed. You just enjoying the bud, you just enjoying the the the the like you don't see how they make zannies. Jhalil: Yeah, you definitely don't. Deion: So you it's cool for you to pop them, Jones. It's it's ⁓ your mind already accepted to pills. You get what I'm saying? So you pop them drones and then you get a cool feeling or whatever to it. You just like that that's that's what that's just what it is. Like you feel me? Only people on the outside think about all of this stuff and then try to present it to the person. You know that got antibiotics in it, like they start running it down. You feel me? Like you be like, damn. Jhalil: Yeah, you and it. It's over. Boooo Yeah. Deion: Man, I don't cause you you it's not even gonna resonate because you don't see antibiotics. Like, nigga, what? You feel me? That's like telling the young bulls like the the black and mouth, I mean ⁓ backwards is the same as the nicotine and the cigarette. They not they like nigga. You smoke real cigarettes and you Jhalil: Red. ⁓ roo-sif. Yeah Deion: They gonna deflect that shit and counter it and defend it and everything. You feel me? I be going to war about the Bluntville versus the Backwood and shit. Like, yo, get out of here with that black that that that ⁓ Bluntville. You feel me? But I'm like, you get how the tobacco and the fucking ⁓ the tobacco nicotine and then the weed. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Okay, we're all set. Deion: I roll by your session, that shit smell like you wrote you sm you you smoking paper, like a leaf or some sh like a like tobacco leaf. It don't smell like weed. That's what I'm saying. It don't smell like weed, bro. Remember you used to smell it the exotic, you like damn. But you don't even smell it. Like you smell Jhalil: Yeah, and it wasn't always like that either, bro. Deion: And because you in the session you don't smell it. It's like people tell me about cigarettes and stuff like that to smell. I don't know because I'm smoking a fucking cigarette. You feel what I'm saying? So I don't smell You can try like smell of weed, like ⁓ you what I mean? But Jhalil: That shit all the same, it's like, it's wired in your brain. Like, but like, it's so crazy, cause bro, now I don't smoke no more, bro. like that shit, it definitely don't smell the same, bro. Like when niggas first started smoking and like a little further back, bro, it's like they quit growing this shit. Whatever they growing it with, the fertilizer, all that shit smell the same, bro. And that shit don't smell good, bro. Like I remember like, you know that 08, like the shit in the casket and the jar, you feel, that used to be some gas, bro. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: But now, like, that shit all smell the same, bro. I could be here, I could be in Philly, I could be Jersey, wherever, all that shit smell the same. I'm like, damn, that's crazy, bro. I wonder if like, I mean, if it was like this for longer, but now I can notice it, cause I don't smoke no more. You feel me? Shit, wife used to be like, yo, what's... Deion: The Jhalil: What's that shit you smoking? shit stink. It stink. It stink. I be like, yo, calm down, bro. You don't blow no more, you what I mean? You don't know. But now I don't blow, I'm like, yo. Deion: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Jhalil: Like I'm smoking this shit, I swear I'm undercover, you feel me? Like anywhere I go I smell like this. That is crazy. Deion: That's probably why ⁓ secondhand probably kill more. Cause you get the real like shit. Like you got You? Jhalil: Yeah, real shit, Yeah. I can smell everything. Damn, I said damn. Like I can smell every chemical, like every fertilizer. I'm like, yo, that shit, man. They wildin'. And then it's like you go to the dispensary and all that shit. Like, yeah, that shit smell a certain way. But once you set it on fire and light it, that shit, you know what mean? Deion: Yeah. No remember. Yeah. Jhalil: go back to that normal ass smell like It's different though. Remember though we used to take months to grow. You feel me? And now niggas growing bushes in a few weeks or something like Deion: Yeah. But they also got better light in it, they got better shit too though. So Jhalil: Yeah man, watch. ⁓ my god. Deion: How do you go? Jhalil: That's probably the shit that motherfuckers not accessing on a daily basis. Like that's that, that's $60 an inch. Deion: No. I said your wee man, I say your wee man got it. I was just saying that Yeah man. What the motherfuckers do you be? ⁓ Jhalil: You know what I'm saying? That's that upper echelon smoke. Like, you feel me? That shit that's different, that rich man weed. Not that purple shit y'all niggas be smoking. Remember when the purple first came out, niggas was proud, like yo, Vanessa used to hit different. But now everything purple. It's like, man, where the green weed at? It ain't no more green weed. bro, that's crazy. The real, well, Vanessa used to be green with like orange hairs in it and all that, but. Deion: Mm-hmm. ⁓ Jhalil: All that shit seem artificial now, bro. I ain't gonna lie, like... Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: That's part of the reason I had to chill, bro. I was smoking weed from here, from Philly, like DC. I ain't gonna lie, that DC pack was different. I can't talk the trash about that shit, bro. That shit had you paranoid. You smoked that shit. You be fried. Deion: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jhalil: What? You me? You know. Deion: But shit, let's get into it, man. We use we use that as like some extra footage and shit. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: And ⁓ some behind the scenes thing. But I guess like more or less that's when we get like a membership. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Deion: We can give like a early access to the membership and like give ⁓ behind the scenes extra conversation, shit like that. You mean? But yeah. Hmm. Welcome back to the volume shift. You know what I'm saying? Where we tryna shift the perspectives of our folks, you know what I'm saying? And bridge the gaps between race, culture, and genders, et cetera. I'm but doctors the doctor without the doctor. Jhalil: I'm Jahlil Urban Activist slash Black Divas. You know what we came to do, man. We came to shift the perspective, turn up the volume for the shift. Deion: Yeah. Exactly, man. And you know, I wanted to say too, like, we really do this shit. to like give something to counter. You feel what I'm saying? Like, it's so much stuff on the frequencies that's going against us. It's like we need counters. You know what I mean? Like, and we got a lot of counters. You feel me? Don't let me say we don't by speaking on the the more ⁓ known frequencies like hip hop and all that entertainment, TV and all that stuff. You know, that's heavy. But like, you know, just to counter and have something else like that people can like come to and be like, damn, I ain't think about it like that. Or you feel me? Like, or let me think about it like this. It just holds so much value, you feel me? Like, we got to get back, man. We really gotta get back. Jhalil: Yeah Deion: As a people, you know what I mean? Jhalil: Yeah, bro. shit. We work on our psychology aspect, our mentality, man, because that's some of the main things that be holding us back, bro. It'd be like, we fall accustomed to things that's no good for us, bro. And we'd be real interested in that. But it's like, when it's time to self-reflect, look in that mirror and, you know, tell yourself, no, listen, it's time to do this differently. Or I gotta take accountability, because what I did, that shit wasn't the right way. So I ain't gonna lie, that's what we really bring into this. It's not like we just get up here and talk good shit and do this. Me and Bro, we had back and forths all the time. I might have a certain perspective, he'd be like, nah bro, that ain't the right genre, and vice versa, bro. But that's what we coming to bring. It's not just about what's glamorous right now, what's popping right now. Deion: If you Jhalil: Who beefing right now, like, that's not our concern, bro. Like, what our concern is is what we got going on in here, in the heart, you feel me? Deion: And like to put y'all up on the reason why y'all doing it. See, people be thinking like, because it's right in front of you, like, this is what's the cause of it. No, this is the effect of it. This is the effect of the drugs that motherfuckers put in front of you. This is the effect of like poverty, you not having no money, you not being happy with your life yourself, your skin you in. Jhalil: Thank Deion: You feel what I'm saying? These is all the effects of that type of stuff. And we combating and going at each other about it. And it's like, nah. So somebody gotta be like, you. You feel me? Like, as I think about it, bro, I'm like, damn, you know, through the ancestors, we still got a lot of that stuff in us. But like certain pe like, obviously it's like certain people don't got that cell membrane. And we can see different shit. You get what I'm saying? And even that becomes like a a a bridge the gap because it's like Jhalil: Okay. Deion: Now you got blacks over here that's successful doing this and that and they living and the then you got the hood, excuse me. You got the hood and we living and operating like this. You feel me? So one party is saying, like, no, come on, man, let's respect ourselves as, you know, honorable people. And and the other side, like, man, we ain't trying to hit that to care, like, that's how we living, like, you feel me? Like. Jhalil: Grrrr Deion: And that's the thing. You get what I'm saying? And and like, you know, people see that and you know, you know what they try to do, any type of controversy they gonna try, you know, put their little thing in the middle and and divide us. Jhalil: Yeah Deion: You know what I mean? Should you know and in this in this space ⁓ of the pie, right? We're gonna start implementing like segments, right? Like so I feel like right now like is a good time to to like do a volume check. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You know what I'm saying? Like let's check the volume on some shit, you get me like Jhalil: Yeah, man, for sure. Definitely time to check the volume on some shit. Deion: I wanna ask the people, right? Like. When you like go outward like that, like pointing at somebody like you let me get more of a drone, like right, like so a person'll be like he dumbass shit for doing that shit. Right. And if you a friend of something like you'll be sitting there like Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: Bitch, you did the same thing, like why you felt me like, how dare you? Jhalil: No. Deion: Pronounce somebody else shit when you do the same thing and but you don't see it or nothing. So I wanna value check that whole thing, like how do you sit back as a friend and not say nothing or you know ⁓ check the person like bro you do the same shit like fuck is you like how you projecting that towards him and you do the same thing. Jhalil: Congratulations. Deion: You get what I'm saying? Like, I wonder what really be in people's mind, like. Cause I'm sitting there and I'm like, if I hear my man telling a lie, I'm like, Jhalil: Thank you. Why you lying nigga? Come on bro. You not even about to get out the yoke bro. Come on dog, you feel me? You get around some skinny yoke bro. Remember we did it like, I shot the whole, like bro chill with that dumb ass just stop lying. Like goofy as shit, cool out. But it's like, I don't know. I think a lot of people bro like. Deion: Yeah. Jhalil: You know, and we from a place where it's like in the ghetto, bro, we click up. You feel me? So like you don't really want no static between you and your homies for like a lot of people probably look at it like I don't really want to handle disagreements with my homies and call them out and then cause some discomfort. Now we going back and forth. You feel me? That's that's probably how people be looking at it. But it's like, look at where look at where this shit got us, bro. You feel me? It's to the point like Deion: I guess it's a Jhalil: In the hood, bro, used to be like, I remember looking at movies and just even being a young boy, people used to say, what's up? Hello to each other. Then it used to be handshakes. Then it went to head nods. Then it went to the brick. Like now it's like, fuck you looking at, like that, bro, it's not working, bro. We can't keep doing, like we can't keep doing the same thing, dawg. Cause like. Deion: Okay. Jhalil: I ain't one of them type boys, bro. Like I come around, see the dogs at the, what's it do fellas? But as soon as y'all talk crazy, now we can take it there. Like I don't want it to be like that, bro. But it's like, we gotta chill with that shit, bro. Deion: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Jhalil: But like that transition is crazy, bro. They used to, their palms, everything. Hey, what's up my brother? What's up? All the cool terms, everything. Now it's like, bro, we calling each other dickheads and all this other stuff like, it's crazy, bro. Motherfuckers who run this shit like, yeah, man. Shit working flawlessly like. Deion: Mm-hmm. Jhalil: We bein' each other the fuck down with everything that we do, bro, and it's not thorough at all, Deion: Yeah. What what you think would make you not Like you mean be honorable. Jhalil: Yo, I ain't gonna lie, bro. With me personally, dawg, I think it's a lot of the food. Like, it's so many hormones and all this shit being put in the foods, like, and fast foods and tab border and everything that motherfuckers is doing, bro. It's like, it's a chemical zone too, bro. It's not just like us naturally as a people. You know, like... We the most loving people forever, bro. We got the biggest heart. So it's like the things that we in taking and putting in and ingesting in ourselves, bro, is most of the cause of that shit. I ain't gonna lie. And it's the shit that we wearing. Motherfuckers walking around with a thousand percent polyester on all this like rayon and plastics that was trash before that they melted down and you mean the sisters is wearing. Deion: Yeah, Jhalil: the hair that got burnt down from plastic and then they then peeled it up and made hair like all of this shit is no contribution to our health bro and that's one of the main things I think that really like attack your brain and how you think bro and how you react. Some real shit dog life. Deion: Yeah. Well niggas fried. Jhalil: real shit bro and it's like damn we going to mcdonald's bro mcdonald's making a billion dollars a day feel me it ain't that it ain't that many cows bro it ain't that many chickens it ain't that much like bro we'll be done with that it ain't that much shrimp like come on bro Deion: Yeah. I think that's serious. Yeah. That's serious, bro. Jhalil: That shit real serious. And now like the biggest ops, they buying all the land to make these fake ass farms and make fake food and all this. Like, while we looking at other things and trying to pay bills and, you know, trying to make sure our family's straight, we can't look at the bigger picture. Feel me? So I think that's the main reason, bro. Deion: Mm. So their lies like the lies. Their lies the lies. Like damn, like I'm so fucked up in the brain, I'm fried. I'm a lie to you. Like it ain't even no reason to lie. I'm just gonna lie. Like fuck it. Yeah, like damn. Jhalil: Hey, Rerv, what's up?

Like, how you think this lie working? And then everybody just say back. I guess that's why they don't step up and say nothing. They like you know how it is in a squad. It's like, no, bro, always be lying. Like, bro. Jhalil: Yeah. Yeah, why? Like, real shit, bro. But I ain't going to lie, dawg. I think that's why, like, I got the same amount of friends that I came with, bro. Like, because you know we not going, like, we not on that, bro. I'll be, yo, you ugly, bro. I'm going to tell you from the, yo, you ugly, dawg. You, you all right? You feel me? We ain't doing all that, girl. Deion: Okay. straight like that. No, I mean, we can't keep it that like funky. Like it's times where it's like, Jhalil: No, bro, you got to. You got to, because like, embarrassment make you change. Deion: I know you you you weren't but like ⁓ we gonna keep it G. We gon' keep it G. It's a lot it's stuff that you you don't say to the Bruce. Jhalil: Yeah, Russia, yeah, it might be. Deion: 'Cause it's it's it's stuff that's hard, like. Jhalil: But it depends though, like it depends like, you feel me, on the amount, like how deep in you, you mean? Like you can't just be, you can't be super fraud and like some dumb ass shit, like no bro. Deion: Mm-hmm. No, I mean on some on some on some real ass shit though, like. You know what I mean? Like you know if you say this stuff and you your man not in the right mind, it could lead to a rumble. And you like, I ain't trying to rumble over like what that is. You get what I'm saying? So you just hold it, but at the same time, you know, that's what we call like letting each other die. Jhalil: Yaaaay bro shit. Deion: Yeah I mean, 'cause how long you gonna keep going? Whatever it was, like, how long you gonna keep doing that? And I must feel a type of way or it's some type of embarrassment that come along with whatever you did solo that's gonna affect this whole group. Jhalil: NNNN Deion: You get what I'm saying? So it's it's niggas, right? That we keep we keeping it clean and G, right? If a nigga rape the joint He just ain't had no friends. This not regular niggas, this not like regular hood niggas, you feel me? Like when you look at them, some of them, the people that they be showing, you be like, nah, they on some weird shit. They probably didn't have no friends. But like it's a couple niggas now. I'll be looking at the job like, he look regular as shit. Like, like a nigga that would be in the squad. You feel what I'm saying? So you hear them type of things, it's like, Jhalil: Yay. Deion: Matter of fact, I just seen a video probably on Philly Scoop. They was ⁓ dipping on a nigga up on 52nd Street. And the captions are ⁓ he raped a little girl. Jhalil: Mm. Deion: You mean? So these these like regular looking motherfuckers that you would consider regular looking people and not different and not weird, right? Like That's that's amongst us. Jhalil: Yeah, that's Deion: I don't know too many people though that's stopping it and like, no, what the fuck type time you want like you feel me? Like that. Let's think about it, right, bro? Without racism, without the police, right? How would we deal with this as a black community? Jhalil: Hmm Deion: Like you can't send him to jail, you like but we gotta deal with him. He got these thoughts. You mean and then he acting on them. Now we got a whole community of people. A lot of us got those thoughts. We just ain't acting on them. You feel what I'm saying? That's all the real niggas, man. I'm like, that should be cooking me up that people will be like, you know, they they try distance and this and that separate from the from what up. But it's like, nah, bro, like a lot of niggas got these talks, bro. You feel me? Like, older guys looking at younger girls. Jhalil: Mm-hmm. Deion: You know what I mean? Like and I see a lot of shows and all that, they like, ⁓ this is nasty, this is dangerous. I'm like And I don't know right or wrong and all that shit, bro. I now that my maturity I really try to stay away from right and wrong and all that and just look at shit you know straight on. Like just straight on. Like I don't got a a John in me that's like judging you that low because you got these thoughts and you might act on. I don't even Jhalil: For really what it is. Yeah. Deion: Cause people not born with these thoughts. They not born to like, what the fuck we talking about? Like man, whatever your path was has something in there that That corrupted your joint. You feel me? Like unless you came out ⁓ you know, with mental issues and all that type stuff. But even that come from your parents doing drugs, like something had to make that into something, bro. Not a Jhalil: Thank Yeah, because it's not normal. It's not just normal. Deion: You get what I'm saying? So the harshness that we got with each other is like so detriment that like how a person with that type of fucked up mindset gonna hill if nobody willin' the the hobby? Like, no, you just shun. And that's why I go back. Jhalil: And it's crazy because I don't got no answer. don't know like you feel me I don't even know how to help somebody that does you know my main thing bro is like art You a certain age you? You mean like our save you you are age is a chick that's 21 through 25 and all that that young like and you looking and you Coming at chicks that like I don't give a fuck about that But it's like, all right, if you are age and then you looking at chicks that's 12 and 14 and all this, bro, like, I don't know what I can do to help you, bro. Like, and my main thing would be to separate because like, I'm gonna have to fuck you up, you feel me? Or something like that. Like, and that's not the right, you know, that's not automatically the right thing to do, but that's what my shit will be set on. Like, cause I ain't about to sit around and just let you. Deion: Yeah, Jhalil: You driving in the car, there's a low ass girl coming from school, you be being horny trying, I'm a, yo, you good, dickhead? You know this man? Like, you feel me, like, on some shit like that, cause that's not thorough, bro. But at the same time, you never know what's going on in a motherfucker head, bro. They could be 42 with the mind of a 12 year old. Like if we don't have that conversation, if we don't have no interaction, how would a person even know? So it's like, it's definitely better ways around it, but like, with that shit, man, people gotta seek professional help, And I ain't the professional help with that. Deion: Mm-hmm. What Yeah. And and that's why I'm saying, like, as humans, we don't got that grand of a understanding of each other that is like, why your brain don't work like mine? Like, bro, I'm I'm 40. I would never be looking at no joy. Like, how come your joint different? We not even gonna pose that question to get a understanding. It's a reaction, like, well see, I'm Jhalil: From the RIP. You offended. From the RIP. Deion: Like what you get what I'm saying? And it's like and then you think it on top of it too. Like, I got daughters. You get what I'm saying? And and I got aunt and sisters and everything else. And it's like, yeah, all of that stuff is gonna be inclusive, but at the same time, like I don't we don't know his drawing. I don't know his path. I don't get me. Is it fucked up? Yeah, but Jhalil: ⁓ shit, bro. Deion: At a minimum, when you push ⁓ away, what happens? Jhalil: Yeah. Deion: Motherfucker just come back more sneakier. Cause you're not helping them deal with getting rid of the shit. Jhalil: Real rap. And on the other side, bro, it be psychological shit that happened to them when they was kids. you feel me? Malustatation and all that shit happened to a lot of people, bro. Not just females. You feel me? It was males too. Young boys too got touched on by older ass women. You feel me? It's just back a little bit, like a while ago, it wasn't... Deion: That can be a thing too. And Jhalil: It ain't seem as bad like a woman touching on a little boy than ⁓ a man touching on a, like it wasn't the same, it wasn't equal. You feel me? But now we moving into a time where it's like we gotta identify too, bro. A lot of them fucked up thoughts people be having now at this age, bro, is due to shit that happened back then that they ain't never get that hoe with, Deion: And then you add on the food and everything else we said earlier, the chemical embolish that happens with your brain.

Jhalil: First thing in the morning, you could just wake up. It's right there for you. Deion: But that's why I'm saying, like, that's why it's a volume check because it's like, yeah, we need to check the volume on this shit. Because how are they even getting those type of thoughts?
