Speaker 1: with Mac and Symphonique, and we made a song for
0:48

Speaker 1: holding on and we're holding on. You were front lines
0:57
Speaker 1: right away.
0:57
Speaker 2: So for people at that, tell us how the city
1:01
Speaker 2: reacted right after, right because you know, we all know
1:04
Speaker 2: New Orleans is lively, it's fun, it's a party town.
1:07
Speaker 2: It's so much food, it's so much going on. So
1:10
Speaker 2: tell us about the atmosphere now.
1:11
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what we're known for, second lining
1:14
Speaker 1: in the middle of the street, the food and everything,
1:16
Speaker 1: and well the parties. But I mean we was hurt. Man,
1:20
Speaker 1: We ain't never experienced nothing like that. Well, watching everybody
1:23
Speaker 1: come together and stick together and stand strong, and we
1:27
Speaker 1: got to stand up and show the world we're not
1:28
Speaker 1: scared and we're gonna bounce back. We resilient, Like just
1:31
Speaker 1: like I gave you the hoodie. Is you know that
1:34
Speaker 1: that hoodie tells it all. We resilient. Yep, We're gonna
1:37
Speaker 1: keep holding on.
1:38
Speaker 2: Some people were upset a little bit and felt like
1:41
Speaker 2: New Orleans should have shut down a little bit longer.
1:44
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that? Well, you're gonna always
1:46
Speaker 1: have opinions, man, with everything. But we got to let
1:49
Speaker 1: God leaders on this journey. And so imagine that we
1:52
Speaker 1: didn't bounce back and didn't stand up, then everybody be saying, man,
1:56
Speaker 1: while y'all holding y'all heads down. No, we got to
1:58
Speaker 1: keep going. The ones that that are alive. It's like
2:01
Speaker 1: anything else, you know, for some way in your heart,
2:06
Speaker 1: you just gotta let God just keep you moving. And
2:08
Speaker 1: that's that's what it is for us. We just keep
2:10
Speaker 1: moving like we're gonna keep moving no matter what. We
2:12
Speaker 1: also praying for the ones that lost their lives in
2:15
Speaker 1: California and the fires, the ones that lost their houses. So,
2:18
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all had something in New York. Y'all had
2:20
Speaker 1: to keep going. They had something in Chicago, had something
2:23
Speaker 1: in Vegas. I mean, you know, we're dealing with evil,
2:26
Speaker 1: but whatever they meant for evil, God gonna turn it
2:28
Speaker 1: into good. And so you know, that's the resilience with
2:32
Speaker 1: the city in New Orleans.
2:33
Speaker 3: I guess my thing is, I'm always asking people, well,
2:35
Speaker 3: what what was the other option? Like people were upset
2:38
Speaker 3: when they saw you walking down Bourbon Street right after,
2:40
Speaker 3: and I'm like, well, what's the other option?
2:41
Speaker 1: Like, well, what if I didn't show up exactly? Think
2:45
Speaker 1: about it. I could have stayed at my mansion and
2:47
Speaker 1: stay at home and don't do nothing. But guess what,
2:49
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not worrying about what somebody gotta think
2:53
Speaker 1: or say. I mean, it's about love, man. The only
2:54
Speaker 1: way we overcome the hate is with love. And we
2:57
Speaker 1: need more of us standing up doing what we got
3:00
Speaker 1: to do it, and that's why I'm able to honor
3:03
Speaker 1: these fourteen people. We got the Nola Walker fame on
3:05
Speaker 1: February sixth, and I'm the first black man with real
3:09
Speaker 1: estate on Canal Street to have a Nola Walker fame.
3:12
Speaker 1: How they had the Hollywood Walker fame. So think about it.
3:15
Speaker 1: Not only we honoring Lil Wayne and Birdman and just
3:21
Speaker 1: so many Grace Trumbone, Chardy, we got mia X, were
3:24
Speaker 1: honoring so many people. Right, we're honoring business people. But
3:27
Speaker 1: at the same time, I want to honor those fourteen
3:29
Speaker 1: people and put a plaque with them on Canal Street
3:33
Speaker 1: so we'll never will never forget them.
3:35
Speaker 2: How do we I'm sorry this one last question? How
3:38
Speaker 2: do we stop that from happening again?
3:39
Speaker 1: Right?
3:40
Speaker 2: Because if you put barricades up and you block people,
3:42
Speaker 2: that kind of kills the vibe of what it was, right,
3:46
Speaker 2: So is there a way to prevent that from happening again?
3:49
Speaker 1: Man? We just got to keep praying and doing the
3:51
Speaker 1: right thing because that could happen anywhere. I mean, the
3:53
Speaker 1: stuff that y'all had happened in New York. Like, you
3:56
Speaker 1: can't stop evil acts. Let's be honest. We got to
4:00
Speaker 1: deal with the mental illness. We've been talking about this.
4:03
Speaker 1: When you see signs of people not doing stuff right
4:06
Speaker 1: or going a different direction than like, you know, we
4:08
Speaker 1: have to do something about it. We have to talk
4:10
Speaker 1: to our people bout it. We have to sit down.
4:12
Speaker 1: So many people need to get counseled, and some of
4:14
Speaker 1: these people need to get help. So of these people
4:16
Speaker 1: need to get therapy. So I mean, even when you
4:18
Speaker 1: look at the people that's in the military, the people
4:21
Speaker 1: that are protecting us, like these are just regular people.
4:24
Speaker 1: And so you don't know when somebody gonna go left.
4:28
Speaker 1: But what we can do is you know, that's why
4:30
Speaker 1: we create all these different organizations to mental illness is real,
4:34
Speaker 1: and so we have to take note when we see
4:37
Speaker 1: these type of things.
4:38
Speaker 4: What is Bourbon Street like today, like right now, Like
4:41
Speaker 4: what's happening there?
4:42
Speaker 1: I mean, we had the Sugar Bowl you know game
4:46
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later and that was sold out
4:49
Speaker 1: and people still walking down Bourbon Street. You still have
4:51
Speaker 1: business people still have to survive. You got a lot
4:53
Speaker 1: of great restaurants down Bourbon Street, and I think that's
4:56
Speaker 1: what it is. We do have a lot of flowers
5:00
Speaker 1: and crosses and stuff out there for the for the
5:04
Speaker 1: victims that lost their lives. But at the same time,
5:06
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to figure out some kind of
5:09
Speaker 1: way to come together. Now. I think putting up plaques
5:12
Speaker 1: up there to remember the ones that we lost, I
5:14
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the right thing to do, because
5:16
Speaker 1: I think even when you keep passing by and you
5:19
Speaker 1: see that, it almost sends that you know, you kind
5:21
Speaker 1: of like keep reliving it. And so we got to
5:24
Speaker 1: get to a position. Hopefully we get to that position
5:27
Speaker 1: by the super Bowl, to where we don't have to
5:29
Speaker 1: keep reliving that and we gonna keep praying and moving on.
5:33
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you do you think it
5:35
Speaker 4: will unpack like the business down there and like the
5:37
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, because a lot of the headlines, unfortunately to
5:40
Speaker 4: New Orleans, it focuses on how people felt like the
5:44
Speaker 4: city and like you know, the police they they failed,
5:46
Speaker 4: like there were certain things that should have been in
5:47
Speaker 4: place and stuff like that. Do you got do you
5:50
Speaker 4: think that I don't.
5:51
Speaker 1: I don't think the police feel because the police that
5:54
Speaker 1: that uh that that that that that took the terrors out,
5:58
Speaker 1: I mean respecting because so many other people could have,
6:03
Speaker 1: you know, lost their lives. So I think we have
6:06
Speaker 1: a shortage of police. I think that even when you
6:08
Speaker 1: look at it in La we had a shortage of
6:10
Speaker 1: fire people. So I think I think the country have
6:13
Speaker 1: to come together. We have to start, you know, because
6:15
Speaker 1: none of us really care think about everybody don't like
6:18
Speaker 1: the police until you need the police. And so now
6:21
Speaker 1: I mean it's time to pay them the good ones,
6:24
Speaker 1: the ones that are doing the right thing. And I
6:26
Speaker 1: feel like we need to come together the good people.
6:28
Speaker 1: Because it's bad in everything. It's bad people in radio,
6:31
Speaker 1: it's bad people in government, it's bad people in all
6:34
Speaker 1: you know, television. So but we just have to acknowledge
6:38
Speaker 1: the good ones, same thing we do in music or whatever.
6:42
Speaker 1: Like you got bad and good in everything. So I
6:44
Speaker 1: think I want to be able to celebrate the good ones.
6:47
Speaker 3: And also to your point earlier, you know, like taking
6:49
Speaker 3: some of those resources and putting those resources back into
6:52
Speaker 3: the community.
6:52
Speaker 5: So people have you know, proper mental health care.
6:55
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, yes we need that because that's the
6:58
Speaker 1: one thing that's scary. People need to know they not alone.
7:01
Speaker 1: And if you find somebody where it's a family member
7:04
Speaker 1: or whatever, we need to hold those uncomfortable conversations. And
7:08
Speaker 1: so those things are going to make a difference, especially
7:12
Speaker 1: like in our schools with our young people and our
7:15
Speaker 1: people that's constantly working, the people that's on the front line,
7:18
Speaker 1: because you never know, you could you could lose that
7:20
Speaker 1: person like that.
7:21
Speaker 2: I want to ask people, haven't seen you in a
7:22
Speaker 2: couple of years, but you were want of the first
7:25
Speaker 2: to stand on HBCU athletics, right, yes, And I remember
7:30
Speaker 2: when when your son was going to college and you
7:33
Speaker 2: put your son into an HBCU.
7:34
Speaker 1: People laughed, They said.
7:35
Speaker 2: They wouldn't make it and you wouldn't get TV time
7:38
Speaker 2: now to see how things have changed. How does that
7:41
Speaker 2: look for you? What's your thoughts on that?
7:43
Speaker 1: I mean, it looked good for me because think about it,
7:46
Speaker 1: Racism still exists, prejudicese still exists in our country, even
7:52
Speaker 1: though we're getting farther and getting better, right, but it's
7:55
Speaker 1: still places that you could go that you still have
7:58
Speaker 1: to deal with this. The great thing about the HBCUs
8:01
Speaker 1: is that this is our people, this is our culture.
8:04
Speaker 1: And that's why you know when I when I went
8:07
Speaker 1: spoke at the graduation at Gramblin and just seeing all
8:11
Speaker 1: the people and watching us evolve, being able to now
8:14
Speaker 1: go to Grambling and say we're gonna do movies over there,
8:17
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like we have more opportunities. But
8:21
Speaker 1: now we're making sure that the facilities are better than
8:23
Speaker 1: not because think about back in the day, the facilities.
8:26
Speaker 2: That's what you said, that was that was you said,
8:27
Speaker 2: that was the biggest thing. We didn't have the facilities
8:29
Speaker 2: for the keys to we didn't.
8:31
Speaker 1: Have the doctors, we didn't have the right training. And
8:33
Speaker 1: now you know, by making that noise, we're starting to
8:36
Speaker 1: get some of those things that shout out to Dion Sanders,
8:39
Speaker 1: I mean for stepping up and go and build his
8:42
Speaker 1: career at the HBCU. And I'm y'all might see me
8:47
Speaker 1: real soon coaching basketball. I ain't gonna you'm gonna see
8:53
Speaker 1: that'll be different.
8:54
Speaker 3: You got the sign Jackson, that Delaware State coaching HBCU
9:00
Speaker 3: basketball team.
9:01
Speaker 1: That'd be hard. Yeah, I mean you know what, I think,
9:04
Speaker 1: that's why we can't be afraid to grow up and
9:07
Speaker 1: be able to follow whatever. You know, Pat, go up,
9:11
Speaker 1: put you on. And so I just feel like coaching.
9:14
Speaker 1: I coached de mar de Roze and I coached Lance Stevenson.
9:17
Speaker 1: I coach I mean so many great pro athletes. Brandon
9:21
Speaker 1: Jennings and now to be able to get to a
9:24
Speaker 1: college and understand how this nil stuff work and be
9:27
Speaker 1: able to help our coach, you know, Okay, I'm sorry. Yeah,
9:31
Speaker 1: And that's what that's about for me, because it's also
9:33
Speaker 1: about preparing the next generation.
9:35
Speaker 3: What's in the Miller jeans, Man, I see silk Son, Yeah,
9:39
Speaker 3: LSU ball and averaging seventeen and five.
9:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, no, it's good man, because silk Son
9:44
Speaker 1: at LSU, my son at Houston doing this thing and
9:47
Speaker 1: they both freshmen. So you know, but I told my son,
9:50
Speaker 1: I say, education, don't rush it, you know. I mean,
9:54
Speaker 1: he had one of the top schools in the country
9:56
Speaker 1: and basketball. He averaged thirty pers in high school last year.
10:00
Speaker 1: And now he told me, said that when I get out,
10:02
Speaker 1: I want to be able to be one of the
10:04
Speaker 1: best players in the NBA. And I say, you know,
10:06
Speaker 1: I taught him that hard work to where this kid
10:09
Speaker 1: was three years old. I went to Target and brought
10:12
Speaker 1: the little plastic hoop and uh, he just loved a game,
10:16
Speaker 1: Like how Steph Curry loved the game? Wow? Is it
10:19
Speaker 1: a blueprint?
10:19
Speaker 3: Like do y'all say, look, if you do this, this
10:21
Speaker 3: and this, Yeah, y'all gonna y'all gonna get the way
10:24
Speaker 3: y'all need to be.
10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, because think about it, right, so when you successful,
10:28
Speaker 1: you could give your kids everything and then they have
10:31
Speaker 1: that entitlement thing. But you know with my kids, they
10:35
Speaker 1: know that I didn't get his kid a car till
10:38
Speaker 1: you got in college. And so now he's on that
10:41
Speaker 1: path to bill character. He put God first and he
10:45
Speaker 1: just want to He want to win, he want to
10:47
Speaker 1: be great, and so I just thank y'all. Even with
10:50
Speaker 1: Black History Month, now I love what you said about
10:53
Speaker 1: the HBCU, but even in hip hop, we don't have that.

12:06
Speaker 2: you still believe that he is that.
12:07
Speaker 1: You know what that's over with now. It's like, I
12:10
Speaker 1: don't even want to go back. But you know, Lil

Speaker 4: I was at the Highboys dr Yeah, and then you
12:59
Speaker 4: came out on stage and gave and you told him
13:01
Speaker 4: about the start that he's gonna get on Canal Street
13:03
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Like seeing you come out on
13:05
Speaker 4: the stage knowing y'all history for me And I'm not
13:08
Speaker 4: even from New Orleans, but I was standing with people
13:10
Speaker 4: that were and they were like literally in tears just
13:13
Speaker 4: to see you guys on Like, I mean, it's been
13:15
Speaker 4: years but the same accord and like it's just all positivity.
13:18
Speaker 4: When you got the phone call that that reunion was happening,
13:21
Speaker 4: how did you how did you react to that? And
13:23
Speaker 4: then what was the decision to honor him on that stage?
13:25
Speaker 1: I mean he's the greatest rapper live and he's from
13:28
Speaker 1: New Orleans, so like people don't realize, like we all
13:31
Speaker 1: live right up the street from me, so people don't
13:34
Speaker 1: really understand the history of nor But you just think,
13:37
Speaker 1: and I think that's what we got to stop creating
13:39
Speaker 1: these beeps and creating all this negativity, you know, while
13:43
Speaker 1: we I just drove down Fifth Ab and see all
13:46
Speaker 1: these stores y'all have out here. They're all selling the
13:49
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm happy for them. I mean, I'm honoring
13:53
Speaker 1: Baby and Slim on Connell Street too. So it's a
13:56
Speaker 1: lot of love and outsiting. People don't realize that even
14:00
Speaker 1: you know, y'all don't see us together all the time,
14:01
Speaker 1: and we grew up, you know, with different expectations. I mean,
14:05
Speaker 1: we still root for each other. So we've been rooting
14:08
Speaker 1: for them ever since we started. They've probably been rooting
14:11
Speaker 1: for us. That's just a New Orleans thing. That's just
14:14
Speaker 1: that's like with me and my brothers. We'll get into
14:16
Speaker 1: it next week we catch one of y'all that we're
14:19
Speaker 1: gonna be fighting together, you know what I'm saying, Like
14:23
Speaker 1: that's just how it is.
14:24
Speaker 3: I know, everything happens the way God wanted to happen,
14:26
Speaker 3: But you feel like there was missed opportunity back in
14:28
Speaker 3: the day for cash money and no limit not to
14:29
Speaker 3: do more together.
14:31
Speaker 1: Now because I feel now that we are grown. You know,
14:34
Speaker 1: everybody been on their own journey, and I think if
14:37
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have been on our own journey, it wouldn't
14:39
Speaker 1: be as big as it is now for both of us.
14:42
Speaker 1: I mean, we sold one hundred million records and they
14:43
Speaker 1: sold so many records too, So I mean they got
14:46
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. Look at BG then got out,
14:48
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully my brother see get out, mystical get out.
14:52
Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna celebrate soldiers Slim on Canal Street
14:56
Speaker 1: for essence. So yeah, and so you know, I mean
15:00
Speaker 1: we have so much great talent down and that I
15:02
Speaker 1: mean just mentioning getting the studio with trombone Charlotte. He's
15:05
Speaker 1: he's one of the greats.
15:07
Speaker 2: Now, how is he murdered doing it? You should possibly
15:10
Speaker 2: getting out? Is there is there some light to the case, you.
15:11
Speaker 1: Know what I mean? We just got to keep praying
15:13
Speaker 1: he been in that long time and hopefully he get
15:16
Speaker 1: his day to be able to get back and get
15:19
Speaker 1: the function and doing what he needs to do. But
15:21
Speaker 1: we just keep praying as a family. So that's why
15:23
Speaker 1: I tell people, you know, love your loved ones when
15:26
Speaker 1: they walk out that dough because you never know when
15:28
Speaker 1: they're gonna come back. And that we experiencing this now
15:32
Speaker 1: in real time. It feels like.
15:34
Speaker 3: There's always somebody attaching themselves to his kids. It's like
15:37
Speaker 3: every year I get a call about, hey man, it's
15:39
Speaker 3: such and such with Steve Murdy and want Steve Murder
15:41
Speaker 3: to call in.
15:42
Speaker 5: I'm like, if I ain't hearing it from p somebody,
15:44
Speaker 5: you know.
15:45
Speaker 1: And I think that's the problem, right because everybody wants
15:49
Speaker 1: to try to get some shine off people instead of
15:51
Speaker 1: just you know what, let God do what you gotta do.
15:53
Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, my brother is gonna
15:56
Speaker 1: be able to touch down and see the light and
15:59
Speaker 1: get back with his family. But we just got to
16:01
Speaker 1: keep praying.
16:02
Speaker 4: How are y'all? Because I know, like a few years
16:05
Speaker 4: back there was like the back and for what you
16:06
Speaker 4: are see murder in my I just.
16:08
Speaker 1: Told you this, my family. I would go to the
16:11
Speaker 1: wall for my brother. I don't even play behind that.
16:13
Speaker 1: We don't even have to get into that. Like we family,
16:16
Speaker 1: you got brothers and sisters. If you do, you know,
16:18
Speaker 1: all that stuff you that don't mean nothing. You know,
16:21
Speaker 1: my son, I'm going to the wall behind mine. I'm
16:26
Speaker 1: just letting you know. So all that stuff y'all see,
16:28
Speaker 1: don't believe none of that stuff y'all see on the internet.
16:30
Speaker 1: And I done change my life. But I will go
16:33
Speaker 1: in that water behind my family as you should.
16:35
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you know, I hate to use
16:36
Speaker 2: the word regret, but the one thing about your family, Pee,
16:40
Speaker 2: is you showed us everything right, Yeah, showed us the good,
16:42
Speaker 2: the bad, the ugly, and a lot of times when
16:44
Speaker 2: black families weren't showing the positive side. And what you
16:47
Speaker 2: did for your kids, you regret it at all because
16:50
Speaker 2: it's like you show the good, but then it also
16:53
Speaker 2: comes with the bad, you know what.
16:54
Speaker 1: But that's life and we gotta we just gotta change
16:58
Speaker 1: with the times. I mean, think about it right now, everybody,
17:00
Speaker 1: Afred a AI, I'm not because you either gonna have
17:03
Speaker 1: to figure out how to work with it. If we're
17:05
Speaker 1: gonna be successful. We building family brands now, and so
17:08
Speaker 1: what's good. We don't have to sit back and be
17:11
Speaker 1: Afred to say we're not a perfect family. You know,
17:14
Speaker 1: nobody has a perfect family because y'all all of them
17:17
Speaker 1: been through something, even everybody here on this should have
17:20
Speaker 1: been through something like, Man, is y'all serious? But we
17:23
Speaker 1: got to stop listening to clickbait, you know, these headlines
17:28
Speaker 1: to say they're never gonna tell you the truth. Right.
17:30
Speaker 1: So my thing is long as you know the truth
17:34
Speaker 1: and you know and you know God, then you'll be good.
17:37
Speaker 1: Because my thing is now, I'm about kingdom building. I'm
17:39
Speaker 1: about doing the right thing and about being a serving
17:42
Speaker 1: for our people and educating our people. I mean, we're
17:45
Speaker 1: losing so many young people. I had a Nipsey hustle
17:50
Speaker 1: in eighth grade in my program. So my program been
17:52
Speaker 1: around for over twenty five years. He was in my
17:55
Speaker 1: program in eighth grade, and I told you guys this, right,
17:58
Speaker 1: he was trying to figure out how to sell records.
18:00
Speaker 1: He got up too, like two hundred thousand. When he died,
18:04
Speaker 1: all his records went triple platinum, the same songs. It
18:07
Speaker 1: ain't like nobody changed none of this stuff. But I'm
18:09
Speaker 1: just saying, we got to be here for each other
18:12
Speaker 1: while we're here. Let's not be great when it's too late,
18:16
Speaker 1: you know. And so we all can create our own
18:18
Speaker 1: products and brands. I tell people now, it's like I
18:21
Speaker 1: created mill of family foods because when you look at Kellogg's,
18:24
Speaker 1: when you look at Gucci, Fasachi and all this, all
18:28
Speaker 1: these are family brands. How come we can't do it right?
18:31
Speaker 1: And so it's time for us to change.
18:33
Speaker 3: You think we hate all you said. Nipsey was in
18:34
Speaker 3: your program in eighth grade. I know you've respected you
18:37
Speaker 3: how he was when he said, no.
18:38
Speaker 5: Limited, no limited to West Nigga person middling the pleasure.
18:43
Speaker 1: Now, Langstone, we created a program called Urban Bond that
18:45
Speaker 1: was in California. So my kids now, even though you
18:48
Speaker 1: see them now they're in college doing what they're doing,
18:51
Speaker 1: but there was playing for cal Supreme that was right
18:54
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood. So my kids always played in the hood.
18:57
Speaker 1: They played in my programs, They played with Oakland, So
19:00
Speaker 1: you know, so I got my start in the Bay. So,
19:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been around California, I've been been around
19:06
Speaker 1: New Orleans. So we helped in the city kids. That's
19:10
Speaker 1: in some of the worst environments.
19:11
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, you feel like a lot
19:13
Speaker 2: of times we hate on each other. The reason I
19:15
Speaker 2: asked that, right is something happened with your son a
19:17
Speaker 2: couple of a month ago.
19:19
Speaker 1: Right all over the blogs, charges were dropped. I seen
19:22
Speaker 1: it on one block, you know what I mean.
19:25
Speaker 2: The thing about it bother you because you're like, damn,
19:27
Speaker 2: give give me before give it.
19:30
Speaker 1: Back to me. To be honest with you, I don't
19:31
Speaker 1: worry about that. You let God fight your battles. And
19:33
Speaker 1: they say whatever they they meant for evil, God to
19:36
Speaker 1: turn it into good. Right, But everybody, no, guess what
19:39
Speaker 1: if that was real? My son wouldn't have been able
19:42
Speaker 1: to keep playing back to school. He couldn't go back
19:44
Speaker 1: to school. So they they made a headline, right, so
19:48
Speaker 1: you can't steal something that's out by the trash can
19:52
Speaker 1: for a month and a half in the snow, in
19:55
Speaker 1: the rain. This was some old things with these kids.
19:58
Speaker 1: They pick up you know, you go to college. They
20:01
Speaker 1: pick up chairs that be out there by the dumps.
20:03
Speaker 1: They pick up all this stuff and then they put
20:05
Speaker 1: a price tag on it, say fifteen hundred dollars something
20:08
Speaker 1: that was worth one hundred dollars. Right that they given
20:12
Speaker 1: no way that they let the kids come take you.
20:14
Speaker 1: Everybody been to college my son for him? Would my
20:18
Speaker 1: son drive a two hundred thousand dollars car. He got
20:21
Speaker 1: a multi million dollars I'm glad it happened because that
20:24
Speaker 1: let me know that we still live in a broken world.
20:26
Speaker 1: But if it didn't happen with my son being involved,
20:29
Speaker 1: y'all would have never knew. Then you would have really
20:31
Speaker 1: been looking at these other kids like they did something.
20:33
Speaker 1: And if that, I be honest, if that's the only
20:35
Speaker 1: thing my son ever did, I'll be a happy proud dad.
20:38
Speaker 1: Just be honest. That don't even make no sense. But
20:40
Speaker 1: I told my son, I say, you a business man,
20:42
Speaker 1: what you want to do? He say, we know what
20:44
Speaker 1: that they called me hercules were about to start making
20:46
Speaker 1: some hercules refrigerator. That's what we're gonna do. We're about
20:51
Speaker 1: to make some Hercules refrigerators now and then we're be
20:54
Speaker 1: able to give them to the kids in the hbcuit.
20:56
Speaker 1: But that's what happened. Right, my son is in a
21:01
Speaker 1: school where it's not as many us there that's in
21:04
Speaker 1: Utah and so, but they wasn't after my son. They
21:07
Speaker 1: was after the coach. They have a black coach. And
21:09
Speaker 1: because think about it, imagine all the stuff that happened.
21:12
Speaker 1: I have seen a kid get killed let these schools
21:15
Speaker 1: play basketball. They getting all kinds of stuff. They don't
21:18
Speaker 1: half of this stuff, the crazy stuff that I have seen.
21:21
Speaker 1: They don't even report the coaches that going. Man, hold up,
21:24
Speaker 1: don't y'all come over here for my school? The campus
21:27
Speaker 1: police should have ran over there and did that, like,
21:29
Speaker 1: don't you think? And then ain't they ain't even mentioned
21:31
Speaker 1: none of the other people name just mentioned Masterpiece Son.
21:34
Speaker 4: Wait, it didn't start with campus police. It went straight
21:36
Speaker 4: to the police outside of it.
21:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's how we're normal. But that's how we
21:40
Speaker 1: knew they was after the coach. So it was targeting. Basically,
21:43
Speaker 1: it was targeting.
21:43
Speaker 4: Because anytime something happens on campus, campus police shows up first.
21:47
Speaker 1: Us. Actually, but that's why Black History money is so
21:50
Speaker 1: important that we should have that more than just February.
21:54
Speaker 1: And we need to educate our kids and our culture
21:57
Speaker 1: because we got to know that even though Martin Luther
21:59
Speaker 1: King lost his life for us, we still got a
22:01
Speaker 1: long way to go. And that's why I say the
22:03
Speaker 1: way we do it, we got to bridge the wealth gap.
22:06
Speaker 1: And that's why telling our people this, go out here
22:09
Speaker 1: and create these products, create these brands, create our own stuff.
22:12
Speaker 1: And so it's gonna be to bed, Like you say,
22:15
Speaker 1: they never mentioned that even even a thing when y'all
22:18
Speaker 1: see the news. Is the crazy thing about it that
22:20
Speaker 1: happened two months ago and they put it out two
22:24
Speaker 1: months later, which was crazy to me. That was what
22:27
Speaker 1: him had lines. I saw it.
22:28
Speaker 4: I'm like, but I think it's just the fact that
22:34
Speaker 4: he has to deal with that. But again, the way
22:35
Speaker 4: that you raise your kids, because they've.
22:37
Speaker 1: Been in there. You didn't see my son say nothing
22:39
Speaker 1: about it. I love him because he humbled, but he's successful,
22:44
Speaker 1: he's he's he's a man of God, and now he
22:49
Speaker 1: got so many great things, so many great opportunities. Uh,
22:52
Speaker 1: we have so many big brands that we are dealing with,
22:55
Speaker 1: and and and and people see this. So I think
22:58
Speaker 1: some of the time you gotta let God fight some
23:00
Speaker 1: of them battle, especially when you know it's not real.
23:03
Speaker 3: Do you deal with uh, like parental I mean your
23:04
Speaker 3: parent we all parents, you deal with like parental paranoia.
23:07
Speaker 3: Having sons that are a certain age, they're in the light,
23:10
Speaker 3: they're doing good. And you know what type of world
23:12
Speaker 3: we're in, bro.
23:13
Speaker 1: I'm just telling y'all, right, God do things for reasons, right.
23:16
Speaker 1: I could have got another phone call. That's true, And
23:20
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm blessed. I think God, I'm blessed, and
23:24
Speaker 1: I'm happy. And I'm gonna keep doing the right thing,
23:26
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep being the best fault that I
23:28
Speaker 1: could be. I'm not perfect, and I'm gonna keep loving
23:30
Speaker 1: my kids and we're gonna keep growing as a family.
23:33
Speaker 4: There.
23:34
Speaker 5: Whatever happened with the lawsuit with Walmart over the snoopers.
23:37
Speaker 1: Man, think about it, right, even that Walmart put a
23:40
Speaker 1: big old thing. Is this supposed to be Black History Month?
23:42
Speaker 1: They not even worried about diversity no more. It's that easy.
23:48
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Nobody's talking about it, nobody's
23:51
Speaker 1: saying nothing in this light. But you know, I'm doing
23:55
Speaker 1: what I gotta do. I'm stand up for my people.
23:56
Speaker 4: And you guys have been crump on the case. What
23:58
Speaker 4: you're right?
23:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got that in front of you. What's that? Man? Look?
24:02
Speaker 1: Got to make them saying unselfish, I'm just letting y'all
24:06
Speaker 1: a hustle. You make them say, that's the only drinking
24:10
Speaker 1: the world that makes that's only drinking that world liquor
24:15
Speaker 1: in ith in it, that making s It's only five percent.
24:21
Speaker 1: It's only five percent. No, I'm telling you it's only
24:24
Speaker 1: five percent. That's the legal amount.
24:26
Speaker 4: Okay, that's it.
24:27
Speaker 1: She looks like I know, but you know what, people
24:30
Speaker 1: are not drinking alcohol. No more people are not drinking beer.
24:35
Speaker 1: We we were the first at the table in the
24:37
Speaker 1: game doing what we gotta do. And y'all see that's
24:39
Speaker 1: that make them say this is it's a whole it's
24:43
Speaker 1: a game change, absolutely, and that's what I'm saying. Were
24:46
Speaker 1: able to create our own brands, and that's what we're doing,
24:49
Speaker 1: and that's gonna say that's you could you could get
24:53
Speaker 1: this go to make them say M A K E
24:56
Speaker 1: E M S A y U h H dot com.
24:59
Speaker 1: You know how many products you got? I got, I
25:04
Speaker 1: got so many.
25:06
Speaker 4: Still we still got the over there then you had
25:09
Speaker 4: when I was you had and we tried those and
25:13
Speaker 4: it was good. Yes, okay, we're okay, Yeah, you got
25:16
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff.
25:18
Speaker 1: See that. But guess what why we can't. I just said,
25:20
Speaker 1: I'm walking down the street seeing all these stores and
25:22
Speaker 1: y'all gonna go in there, each one of them stores
25:24
Speaker 1: y'all want to go into, right, how come we can't
25:27
Speaker 1: do it?
25:27
Speaker 4: I was just sitting here thinking like why if because
25:29
Speaker 4: I'd be buying Roman like once a just keep it
25:31
Speaker 4: in the house. Why don't I? I literally just thought
25:34
Speaker 4: that's what I was thinking of. When I stopped talking,
25:35
Speaker 4: I'm like, why don't I just buy his news?
25:37
Speaker 1: Yes, well, we got to support each other. So think
25:39
Speaker 1: about we spend trillions of dollars as black people, but
25:43
Speaker 1: we we're consumers, that's right, and we buy other people products.
25:47
Speaker 1: And that's what we was talking about, right, those companies
25:50
Speaker 1: that I talked about, from Gucci to Facade, the catalogs,
25:54
Speaker 1: those are family last names. And how come we can't
25:58
Speaker 1: do it?
25:58
Speaker 4: That's absolutely how's your family in California with the fires
26:02
Speaker 4: and stuff? Is everybody good?
26:03
Speaker 1: Yeah? We hanging out. It came close, so I know
26:07
Speaker 1: that it's like twenty eight percent contained now in Palace days,
26:12
Speaker 1: So we was we was almost evacuated, saying that if
26:17
Speaker 1: that the winds keep blowing, you know, it hit hit
26:20
Speaker 1: and heels so and then Calabasas would be next. So
26:24
Speaker 1: we just we keep praying and hopefully hopefully it is
26:29
Speaker 1: over soon.
