- 6:01Speaker 1: you know, so that's just what I'm about. Man. You know,
- 6:03Speaker 1: I made the transition, you know, more on a corporate thing.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You know, my son, you have watched that All American.

- 6:32Speaker 1: Great Supreme. You know, he's also doing well. He's into
- 6:35Speaker 1: the music industry. So you know, even though I was
- 6:38Speaker 1: in the game, you know, I raised my children different.
- 6:41Speaker 1: All my kids went to college, right, you know, because
- 6:43Speaker 1: I didn't want them to go through what I went through,
- 6:45Speaker 1: you know, because you know I've been shot five times.
- 6:48Speaker 1: You know, did many years in the penitentiary. You know,
- 6:50Speaker 1: just was in the game out here bad. You know,
- 6:53Speaker 1: so that wasn't the lifestyle for my children. I was
- 6:56Speaker 1: able to make that transition. So now one of them
- 6:59Speaker 1: ever seen.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Me as did your lifestyle, you know, ever make women
- 7:04Speaker 3: leary of you because you know, you introduce us to
- 7:06Speaker 3: your wife when she was like, hell no, I don't
- 7:09Speaker 3: want to get married to you.
- 7:10Speaker 1: You a pimp. Well you know it ain't it ain't
- 7:13Speaker 1: even like that, you know what I'm saying. You know,
- 7:15Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm my mama's boy. I want need
- 7:17Speaker 1: this boy. You know that's my mother, right, So she
- 7:21Speaker 1: know me as you know, kin you son, she slapped
- 7:25Speaker 1: me upside of my head. Now sick, she still slap
- 7:27Speaker 1: me upside of my head. So you know that's how
- 7:29Speaker 1: she look at me. You know, But you know a
- 7:31Speaker 1: lot of people they got a misinterpretation of pimping, right,
- 7:34Speaker 1: in order to be a pimpy, gotta have a hope.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Unless your hope, it don't apply to you. If you
- 7:39Speaker 1: ain't in the game, it don't make no difference. You
- 7:41Speaker 1: know what you're doing, you know, so when you're dealing
- 7:44Speaker 1: with people, you know what I'm saying. You know, like
- 7:45Speaker 1: most people, if you notice Charlamagne and DJM, you know
- 7:49Speaker 1: a lot of people got a lot of good things
- 7:50Speaker 1: to say about Pimpy can Because I'm an honorable dude.
- 7:53Speaker 1: You pimping ain't who I am. It's what I did,
- 7:56Speaker 1: you know, So that don't make that don't define me.
- 7:58Speaker 1: You know. So I'm a whole different person now, So
- 8:01Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. When I like I said,
- 8:02Speaker 1: I sent all ma Chuldren in college, you know what
- 8:04Speaker 1: I mean. I deal with people on a whole different level. Now,
- 8:07Speaker 1: let's go back. So when you were a pimp, what's
- 8:10Speaker 1: the most hoes you had at one time? Sixteen?
- 8:13Speaker 4: I love it, Okay, I'm just saying like, because I
- 8:16Speaker 4: never talked to like a real pimp before.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Well, not who he is now, but who he was.
- 8:21Speaker 1: You know, Well, what he did sixteen.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Wow.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I was going to ask how did you get your
- 8:26Speaker 2: how did you get your start? Like, you know, your
- 8:28Speaker 2: first introduced to what her say?
- 8:31Speaker 1: I was introd how was introduced to it?
- 8:33Speaker 2: Like like when you're introduced to the drug game, somebody
- 8:36Speaker 2: introduces you to your first whatever it is. If you
- 8:38Speaker 2: introduce to this, like, so, who introduced you to pimp?
- 8:40Speaker 2: And it said I can make some money off of this?
- 8:42Speaker 1: Okay? So envy we was uh Robin Banks and Robin
- 8:46Speaker 1: Lse So it's a partner. My name and divine JD. Right.
- 8:50Speaker 1: So when I get out of the boys' school, I
- 8:52Speaker 1: go to his house. He got three chicks, right, I said, man,
- 8:56Speaker 1: let me hear one of them. He said, which one
- 8:58Speaker 1: you want to want? The one that life right there
- 8:59Speaker 1: there with the pussy candy strike you know? So he
- 9:02Speaker 1: said cool, he said it is yours. And then that's
- 9:04Speaker 1: how I ended game. Her name was Dirty Red. I
- 9:06Speaker 1: talked about it in my book. So that's how it became,
- 9:08Speaker 1: you know, a piece. So a brother n ain't stychild,
- 9:11Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He made rest in PC
- 9:12Speaker 1: died from COVID just two years ago. That brother was like, hey, man,
- 9:18Speaker 1: Ken you know, you got to be like this. You
- 9:20Speaker 1: got to, you know, try to take another man's broad.
- 9:22Speaker 1: You got to, you know, give a woman's structure, actually
- 9:25Speaker 1: what she come from. Who was a mama? Who are
- 9:26Speaker 1: daddy woo woo? Find everything about the bro So he
- 9:29Speaker 1: was giving me the game, and I ended up taking
- 9:31Speaker 1: one of his broads. So when I took his brod,
- 9:33Speaker 1: like I said, a lot of jeurey from Robin Jewey stoes,
- 9:35Speaker 1: I gave him a chain, so he kept my chain.
- 9:38Speaker 1: He was very unpivol like because he couldn't accept the servant.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You know, I was serving the news blue refuse and
- 9:42Speaker 1: put his girl up on some new rules. You know
- 9:44Speaker 1: what I'm saying. When we're even having that, you know,
- 9:46Speaker 1: So you know that's how I get into that game.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Then I went back to prison. So when I went
- 9:51Speaker 1: back to prison, you got to remember, I'm thinking, like, man,
- 9:55Speaker 1: I'll make some dumb moves. I mean, here I got
- 9:57Speaker 1: women giving me money and I'm still hustling. So when
- 10:00Speaker 1: I got there, I met a guy by the name
- 10:01Speaker 1: of Pimp and Pope. He said, Ken, you know, to
- 10:04Speaker 1: be in his game, you got to have a triple bypass.
- 10:06Speaker 1: You got to have all the sympathy, move out your heart,
- 10:08Speaker 1: you know. He said, you know you can't be sympathetic.
- 10:11Speaker 1: And then I said, well, what you doing in here
- 10:13Speaker 1: with me? Homie? He said, oh, man, you know this dude.
- 10:16Speaker 1: You know he got one of my girls. And the girl,
- 10:18Speaker 1: you know, she was so dedicated. You know, she had
- 10:20Speaker 1: light his cigarettes before he put in his mouth. She
- 10:22Speaker 1: would feed his stummay when he grown. He said, that's
- 10:24Speaker 1: what we do. We give instructions. You know what I'm saying,
- 10:27Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. He said. The game is
- 10:28Speaker 1: a game of soul. So I'm listening to the dude
- 10:31Speaker 1: and I'm getting the game from him, and you know
- 10:33Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It clicked to me. I was doing
- 10:35Speaker 1: it all wrong, you know what I'm saying. I said, Man,
- 10:37Speaker 1: you know I can't fall in love. I can't ain't
- 10:40Speaker 1: no love in this game. Love fall in love with
- 10:42Speaker 1: all the girls. I can't fall in love with nobody.
- 10:44Speaker 1: I didn't even fall in love. I just he just
- 10:46Speaker 1: showed me the game and clicked in my head. And
- 10:48Speaker 1: that's when I became the terrist. You know. With the game,
- 10:50Speaker 1: then you got a member, you know. Charloagne talked about
- 10:53Speaker 1: mental health. I was. I believe I was going through
- 10:55Speaker 1: some mental things because I was molested by my babysit
- 10:58Speaker 1: or young lady when I was years old. And then
- 11:01Speaker 1: when I was in prison, my mama left me for dead.
- 11:03Speaker 1: She never came to see me, but she's come to
- 11:05Speaker 1: see my brother all the time. So you know what
- 11:07Speaker 1: I'm saying. That gave me a disdain for women. So
- 11:09Speaker 1: you know what I mean when I deal with women.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You know, and this man already telling me, I got
- 11:13Speaker 1: to have a triple bypass. See, you can't have no sympathy.
- 11:15Speaker 1: It was easy for me to get in that game.
- 11:17Speaker 1: So when I got in that game, you know, I
- 11:20Speaker 1: was matched with no passion. I was matched for my
- 11:22Speaker 1: ration with no passion. You know. So I ain't had
- 11:24Speaker 1: no feelings. People s asked me, how do you feel
- 11:26Speaker 1: I feel with my hands? So that was the mentality
- 11:29Speaker 1: that I had, So that caused me to be desensitized.
- 11:32Speaker 1: It wasn't until I had my first child, which is Kiki,
- 11:35Speaker 1: my daughter. You know. When I had Kiki, then I
- 11:38Speaker 1: changed my mentality. You know, if you change your mentality,
- 11:40Speaker 1: can change your reality, right, So I changed my mentality
- 11:43Speaker 1: and then I started having loved because that was the
- 11:45Speaker 1: first time I really experienced love, love love, you know,
- 11:48Speaker 1: and so my daughter, you know, she just kind of
- 11:51Speaker 1: just made me make a lot of different life decisions.
- 11:54Speaker 1: And then I realized, you know that, hey man, you know,
- 11:56Speaker 1: maybe you can, you know, do some different things. And
- 12:00Speaker 1: when I actually got out the game, you know what
- 12:01Speaker 1: I'm saying, me, I had a whole different perspective, you know,
- 12:04Speaker 1: on women, you know, and I forgave my mother, you know,
- 12:06Speaker 1: for what she done. You know, I mean, I love
- 12:09Speaker 1: my mother the death of it, just with her, and
- 12:11Speaker 1: you know, but it was kind of traumatizing because you know,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I'm in jail and I can't and see her, you
- 12:17Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it just made me feel like,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you know, man, ain't got no respect for nobody. I'm
- 12:23Speaker 1: cold hearted. I'm out here. You know, whatever happened happened.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And unfortunately, that's what makes a good pimp. Unfortunately, it
- 12:30Speaker 1: makes a good pimp because when you're dealing with women
- 12:33Speaker 1: out there that's in their lifestyle, they're dealing with hundreds
- 12:35Speaker 1: of men's every day. You know, they don't have no sympathy, right,
- 12:39Speaker 1: you know, you got to be cold hearted to break
- 12:41Speaker 1: a trick, you know, and get some money from a man.
- 12:43Speaker 1: And know this man is married, Know this man is
- 12:45Speaker 1: in a relationship, but you know, you can't, you know,
- 12:50Speaker 1: deal with her. So when you deal with the female,
- 12:52Speaker 1: she come home, she's trying to run game on you too.
- 12:55Speaker 1: You know, I believe God gave a woman the same
- 12:57Speaker 1: thing you gave you, a skunk, a white striper belly
- 12:59Speaker 1: for the fun, you know. So they banging the funk
- 13:01Speaker 1: home and they banging the drama. So you got to
- 13:03Speaker 1: deal with that. And if you don't deal with that,
- 13:06Speaker 1: even if you look at the you know, the Bible,
- 13:08Speaker 1: you know it says the fall of man. Right when
- 13:11Speaker 1: you talking about the fall of man, what are you
- 13:13Speaker 1: talking about? You're talking about how some woman e allegedly
- 13:17Speaker 1: we're gonna say allegedly because we don't know people's prefaces,
- 13:20Speaker 1: right in terms of religion, Allegedly this woman deceived him
- 13:25Speaker 1: and he was that's how you got naked. So if
- 13:28Speaker 1: that's the mentality in the Bible, that's the first chapter Genesis,
- 13:32Speaker 1: the fall of man. We know that the woman has
- 13:34Speaker 1: always been the challenge for the man.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Vers two though, yeah, yes, sir, because I mean you
- 13:39Speaker 3: said it yourself, like, you know, you had so much
- 13:41Speaker 3: hurt and so much pain in your heart for women
- 13:44Speaker 3: that you treated women a certain ways. So if you're
- 13:46Speaker 3: already approaching the situation like that, she's probably gonna feel
- 13:49Speaker 3: that energy.
- 13:50Speaker 1: So that's gonna be resistance.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Right right, absolutely, So I was gonna ask, I mean,
- 13:55Speaker 2: you call them holes, but when these women came to you,
- 13:57Speaker 2: did they come to you or did you sort them out?
- 14:00Speaker 2: Did they come for you for protection and help or
- 14:01Speaker 2: wasn't one of those things where you found like.
- 14:03Speaker 1: How did it work for people? Because when people.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Here pimps, right, they all think of old school pimps,
- 14:10Speaker 2: beat a girl up, put them on the corner in
- 14:12Speaker 2: the Bronx or on the corner on the old forty
- 14:15Speaker 2: second street and make sure.
- 14:16Speaker 1: So how did these women come to you? Well, you know,
- 14:19Speaker 1: once you get in the game, you know, you get
- 14:21Speaker 1: chose with your mouth clothed. You know, it's about choice,
- 14:24Speaker 1: not about force, you know. So I was always rose Woice,
- 14:27Speaker 1: So always tell them, let your choice be Rose Woice.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is that a lot
- 14:31Speaker 1: of young dudes out here they selling these brash dreams.
- 14:34Speaker 1: They're like, hey, you know what I'm saying, get with me.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy your Rose Voice, I'm gonna buy a Callak,
- 14:37Speaker 1: and we're gonna buy some mixes and diamonds. Well I
- 14:39Speaker 1: was already pulling up with that, so I was the dream,
- 14:42Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So because you selling this
- 14:44Speaker 1: woman a dream, she said, hey, man, I don't want
- 14:46Speaker 1: to be with any no more. I want to be
- 14:47Speaker 1: with Ken. So she had choose up on me. When
- 14:50Speaker 1: she choose up on me, I'll call you. You could
- 14:52Speaker 1: break the plate.
- 14:53Speaker 4: Man.
- 14:53Speaker 1: That woman don't eat there no more. That's what I mean.
- 14:55Speaker 1: You know, you know she didn't choose up. She did.
- 14:57Speaker 1: She let her choice be Rose Voice. You know, she
- 14:59Speaker 1: didn't choose down shows up. So then I am then
- 15:02Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, oh man, you know, and then
- 15:03Speaker 1: in the game it's a non context sport. You would
- 15:05Speaker 1: have to accept that. So it's a it's actually.
- 15:08Speaker 2: A non context sport. So in the game, there was
- 15:10Speaker 2: no you're not coming from you. I'm confused, non contact.
- 15:13Speaker 2: You lose your girl, that's it.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, once you get knocked, man, you got to
- 15:16Speaker 1: accept it, you know what I'm saying, Especially if you
- 15:17Speaker 1: get knocked by Knockarachi That was me. You know what
- 15:20Speaker 1: I'm saying. They called me Knockarachi because I was knocking everything. Then,
- 15:22Speaker 1: when Neil Doe came to New York back in ninety one,
- 15:26Speaker 1: and every time I would peel the dudes in New
- 15:28Speaker 1: York for this girl, I give him a Wall Street Journal.

- 15:44Speaker 1: then that actually put ketch up by people. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 15:47Speaker 1: yeah huh.
- 15:48Speaker 3: That was like your calling card.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Now that was when I were not knocking for the Broad.
- 15:51Speaker 1: I let him know, like, man, listen, you know I

- 16:28Speaker 1: I said, you know, the game has changed. You know,
- 16:30Speaker 1: it's elevation. You know, even if you look at your Facebook.
- 16:35Speaker 1: You know, when you first started Facebook, it was technologically
- 16:38Speaker 1: advanced as is today on Instagram. So life evolves, like
- 16:41Speaker 1: Darblin said, evolution. So when you see evolution, you got
- 16:45Speaker 1: to evolve, you know. So these young people, they got

- 18:10Speaker 1: something with you too, man, I want to bring my
- 18:12Speaker 1: show over to y'all black effect. Okay, you don't try
- 18:15Speaker 1: to know no more? What's the hip Hop Fraternity? Break
- 18:20Speaker 1: that down for? Uh?
- 18:22Speaker 3: James, come on in, James, pull up a microphone for James.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Thank you guys for allowing me to speak. Yes, sir,
- 18:29Speaker 4: my name is James C. B. Gray. I am the
- 18:31Speaker 4: CEO of the Hip Hop Fraternity. Thanks to can Ivy.
- 18:35Speaker 4: He appointed me, he bought me, and me and Ken
- 18:37Speaker 4: did a bunch of business deals years ago which evolved
- 18:41Speaker 4: into now us working together with Hip Hop Fraternity. The
- 18:44Speaker 4: hip Hop Fraternity first and foremost is a think tank,
- 18:46Speaker 4: all right. Uh, ninety percent of major companies organizations that
- 18:52Speaker 4: are of European establishment have a think tank. White yeah,
- 18:58Speaker 4: and ninety five percent of organizations that are or black
- 19:04Speaker 4: lineage don't. And when I was younger, we used to
- 19:08Speaker 4: do surveys all the time, and I used to answer
- 19:10Speaker 4: a bunch of questions and I used to think I
- 19:12Speaker 4: was getting over making fifty one hundred dollars for answering
- 19:14Speaker 4: a couple of questions. And later on I found out
- 19:17Speaker 4: that the information that I was given these organizations was
- 19:21Speaker 4: given them making them way more money by fine tuning
- 19:25Speaker 4: their product and service. You know, then I was really
- 19:29Speaker 4: doing it and anything. So that's why I realized the
- 19:31Speaker 4: power of a think tank. So one of the things
- 19:33Speaker 4: we encourage hip Hop Fraternity members to do is think okay,
- 19:38Speaker 4: And that leads to the new Emancipation Proclamation, which is
- 19:42Speaker 4: the free end of the mind, not just the bounding
- 19:45Speaker 4: of the physical realm, you know what I'm saying. So
- 19:48Speaker 4: a lot of us are stuck, you know, in the
- 19:50Speaker 4: physical so the mental chains have to be broke before
- 19:54Speaker 4: you can even you know, get beyond that. So we
- 19:57Speaker 4: have a whole curriculum and h Pop Fraternity where we're
- 20:00Speaker 4: teaching hip hop artists about publishing, royalties, contracts, entertainment law, distribution,
- 20:06Speaker 4: everything under the sun. If you look at it. For
- 20:08Speaker 4: the last fifty years, we just celebrated hip hop and
- 20:10Speaker 4: now we're looking back and saying, wow, we not only
- 20:14Speaker 4: celebrated victory, but we also are victims of you know,
- 20:18Speaker 4: being ripped off for so long in this industry. You know,
- 20:21Speaker 4: we have hip hop artists who can no longer perform,
- 20:25Speaker 4: you know, have how massive heart attacks on strokes, don't
- 20:28Speaker 4: have any pension plan, don't have any assurance or anything
- 20:31Speaker 4: like that. So this is one of the things that
- 20:32Speaker 4: we're proposing with Hip Hop Fraternity. On a congressional level,
- 20:37Speaker 4: we spoke to a couple of congressmen already, which led
- 20:39Speaker 4: us to now put in together a political action committee
- 20:43Speaker 4: under the Hip Hopaternity, which is gonna not only galvanize resources,
- 20:48Speaker 4: but also centralize the hip hop vote. Okay, you look
- 20:53Speaker 4: at the LGBT, the Hispanic, the black, all demographics of
- 20:58Speaker 4: the voting blocks would be centralized. Okay. Hip hop vote,
- 21:06Speaker 4: I think is the number one voting block in the world.
- 21:09Speaker 4: I mean especially in the United States of America when
- 21:11Speaker 4: it really counts. But nobody's actually ever centralized that vote.
- 21:15Speaker 4: You got certain hip hop artists that would take it
- 21:18Speaker 4: over here users to their benefit, Politicians that would use
- 21:21Speaker 4: hip hop artists in order to galvanize folks here and there,
- 21:24Speaker 4: but nobody that actually bought it under one umbrella. And
- 21:27Speaker 4: Hip Hop Fraternity has a solid infrastructure to not only
- 21:30Speaker 4: be able to do that, but to roll out a
- 21:33Speaker 4: whole nother agenda that's gonna you know, empower you know,
- 21:37Speaker 4: our brothers assistance. We have thirty seven chapters throughout the
- 21:39Speaker 4: United States. Three years, we've a mass that amount of
- 21:44Speaker 4: follow over ten thousand to in Africa, one in Puerto Rico,
- 21:49Speaker 4: one in Haiti, and we just launched the chapter in London.
- 21:53Speaker 4: So we're actually one of the fastest growing hip hop
- 21:56Speaker 4: organizations because of the platform that we have. One of
- 21:59Speaker 4: the things we have one of our chapters is access
- 22:03Speaker 4: to major DJs distribution promoters. We have a weekly meetings. Yeah,
- 22:11Speaker 4: we got the magazine, Hipternity, clothing line, hip op Fraternity blog,
- 22:17Speaker 4: the podcast. We have so much of Going to the
- 22:20Speaker 4: website www dot HHF media dot com, you'll see the
- 22:25Speaker 4: whole layout and when you sign up and become a member,
- 22:30Speaker 4: you have access to our curriculum which teaches about the
- 22:34Speaker 4: fundamentals and mechanics in the business. Signe everything everything free.
- 22:40Speaker 4: So when I first started vying Charlemagne and just as
- 22:44Speaker 4: I did it in Atlanta, so I came through and
- 22:48Speaker 4: I wanted to be a disruptor.
- 22:49Speaker 1: So I disrupted the entire music industry in Atlanta. So
- 22:52Speaker 1: we did. I fed the kids for free, allow them
- 22:55Speaker 1: perform for free. I let them uh get in free.
- 22:59Speaker 1: You know it's going on for four years straight, all
- 23:02Speaker 1: paid for out of my pocket, you know, because you know,
- 23:05Speaker 1: I have a son that's in the music industry and
- 23:08Speaker 1: he was doing a lot of music and you know
- 23:10Speaker 1: he was it was costing him a lot of money,
- 23:12Speaker 1: and I was paying for it. You know, he had
- 23:14Speaker 1: paid for however, you know it went. But I wanted
- 23:16Speaker 1: to give the opportunity and create Apollo like situation of
- 23:20Speaker 1: American idol situation, so the artist can come in and
- 23:23Speaker 1: perform for free. And if they talented, like Mike Fresh,
- 23:27Speaker 1: you know, we just signed him. You know, he got
- 23:29Speaker 1: twenty billion strings. He got more than a little baby
- 23:31Speaker 1: baby got, tim b I read it on your on
- 23:34Speaker 1: your on your plaque out there in the room, So
- 23:36Speaker 1: he's got double the action that little baby got. So
- 23:41Speaker 1: bringing him into the hip hop fraternity and explaining to
- 23:44Speaker 1: him the business side of it, you know, because it
- 23:46Speaker 1: is a business called the music business. You know. I
- 23:48Speaker 1: was in a meeting with doctor Umar Johnson in California.
- 23:52Speaker 1: He was, you know, attending one of our HHF events
- 23:56Speaker 1: and we were talking and doctor Umar said, you know,
- 23:59Speaker 1: hip hop is the second largest exports of you know,
- 24:03Speaker 1: American exports. You know, hip hop created more billionaires than
- 24:06Speaker 1: any other black sector in the history of this country.
- 24:09Speaker 1: You know, you talk about jay Z, Puffy, Kanye, YadA,
- 24:13Speaker 1: YadA YadA. You know, these are being an untold amount
- 24:16Speaker 1: of millionaire. It created the Breakfast Club, you know, created
- 24:19Speaker 1: you know, Drink Champs, Boss Talk, Trigger Alert, all these
- 24:23Speaker 1: different platforms. You know, No Jumper, all this stuff is
- 24:27Speaker 1: coming black. It's coming from hip hop, you know influences, right,
- 24:31Speaker 1: So that's why it's so important. You know, people will
- 24:34Speaker 1: go to the mosque and join mister Fahrikhan, they would
- 24:37Speaker 1: go to Potterhouse and join TD Jakes. But more people
- 24:41Speaker 1: is acclimated and more probable going to hip hop than
- 24:46Speaker 1: they will to go into the mosque going to the church, right,
- 24:48Speaker 1: So we wanted to be that outlet. So when I
- 24:51Speaker 1: was looking up the word hip hop fraternity it was available.
- 24:54Speaker 1: It shocked me. I'm like, what you know? But then
- 24:57Speaker 1: when you look at East Coast versus the West Coast,
- 24:59Speaker 1: bad Boy versus Death Row, and you know, cash money
- 25:04Speaker 1: versus No Limit, you see the divisiveness in hip hop.
- 25:07Speaker 1: So they would never anticipate us coming together. From that perspective,
- 25:12Speaker 1: that's why those names were available because you know, anybody
- 25:14Speaker 1: that's smart and calculating. They're not gonna, let you know,
- 25:17Speaker 1: no domains be or no trademarks be available. So we
- 25:20Speaker 1: was able to trademark that, and then I was able
- 25:23Speaker 1: to get to a lander and sell everybody to land
- 25:25Speaker 1: on the idea that hey, look here, we tried everything
- 25:27Speaker 1: but unity. You know what I'm saying. You know, we
- 25:30Speaker 1: tried everything but unity. And then the brothers and sisters
- 25:33Speaker 1: just start coming. And then they start off with maybe
- 25:36Speaker 1: five or six people. Now we have ten thousand people
- 25:38Speaker 1: around the country and I have nothing but PhDs. He's
- 25:43Speaker 1: a former vice president for our Shopton. I was able
- 25:47Speaker 1: to take him from al Shopton. You know he's to
- 25:49Speaker 1: open up. Yeah yeah, yeah, now, but I mean all
- 25:57Speaker 1: the serious shot the man. You know we you know
- 26:00Speaker 1: sister ken Teres, you know she's uh, she's worked for
- 26:03Speaker 1: a billion dollar country, did billion dollar mergers and acquisitions.
- 26:07Speaker 1: So you know, my thing was to bring the street
- 26:10Speaker 1: people and the intelligent people. And you know, I even
- 26:12Speaker 1: got opportunity for you brothers. You know, we're going to
- 26:15Speaker 1: from the corpus perspective, from the business perspective. You know,
- 26:17Speaker 1: it takes financed depolifit nation. I want to give brothers
- 26:20Speaker 1: like y'all equity in the company, you know, just the
- 26:23Speaker 1: same thing with vitnment Water did with fifty and you
- 26:26Speaker 1: know we got you know, we've been talking to Floyd Mayweather,
- 26:29Speaker 1: Lankor Keen. We've been talking you know, icedy of course
- 26:31Speaker 1: gonna have equity. We want to you know, like you
- 26:33Speaker 1: and DJ Ivery, y'all in Mistress, y'all have power, you know,
- 26:37Speaker 1: we all hip hop. We all love the culture, you know,
- 26:39Speaker 1: watching't y'all have a piece of that company, and we
- 26:41Speaker 1: want to give y'all and submit a piece of company.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Sit down with our lawyers. We can make that happen,
- 26:46Speaker 1: you know. And all the other young brothers and sisters
- 26:49Speaker 1: out there that's doing well for themselves to have some influence,
- 26:51Speaker 1: we want to bring them in too, and then we
- 26:53Speaker 1: can go when we get attacked the venture capital, you know,
- 26:56Speaker 1: then we could do an IPO eventually, you know, and
- 26:58Speaker 1: then everyone can eat and we have our culture back,
- 27:02Speaker 1: you know. And that's what I want everybody to understand.
- 27:04Speaker 1: It's our culture. Our call that jacket again, let me
- 27:07Speaker 1: see that right quick.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Good pop fraternity jacket barsity jacket.
- 27:12Speaker 1: But it says something on it that's very important. I
- 27:15Speaker 1: don't know for people to see that the culture our call,
- 27:17Speaker 1: our culture ore called. So when we think about it
- 27:20Speaker 1: right now, this is this year is going to be
- 27:22Speaker 1: very profound what I'm about to say, and it's not
- 27:24Speaker 1: a racial statement. But when you think about our Jewish brothers,
- 27:27Speaker 1: right you know, they you know, can claim fame a jury.
- 27:31Speaker 1: You know, our Mexican brothers can claim fame the taco
- 27:34Speaker 1: and Mexican food. You know, our Greek brothers can claim
- 27:37Speaker 1: Greek Town. You know, our Chinese brothers can claim ek
- 27:43Speaker 1: ros and Chinese rights. But we can claim hip hop.
- 27:47Speaker 1: That's our culture. We created that, and we got to
- 27:49Speaker 1: understand the importance of us taking control of this. There's
- 27:54Speaker 1: no reason why Universal, Sony and all these other major
- 27:57Speaker 1: record labels should be given our children fifteen percent royalty
- 28:01Speaker 1: and taking and charging them fifty percent production deal. Meaning
- 28:04Speaker 1: every time they should have video, they got to pay
- 28:06Speaker 1: if the video me and they got to pay you
- 28:07Speaker 1: half a million dollars. How many records do you sell,
- 28:10Speaker 1: as Tony Merced's like to say, at fifteen percent royalty
- 28:13Speaker 1: to get half a million dollars. You know, me being
- 28:16Speaker 1: in the publishing game, I was telling Boosy when we
- 28:19Speaker 1: was doing the book deal, I said, Boosie, you know
- 28:22Speaker 1: you look at the publisher coming you know this one
- 28:23Speaker 1: for to say Charlott mageause you do books and you
- 28:26Speaker 1: two are DJ. I said, you know, when you look
- 28:28Speaker 1: at the publisher game, it's like Caesars Palace. You look
- 28:32Speaker 1: at the record business, it's like Chase Manhattan. But they
- 28:38Speaker 1: only charging one hundred percent. If you and I don't
- 28:40Speaker 1: recoup this book, it's good. It's all good. It's all good.
- 28:44Speaker 1: So this is what I'm teaching them, you know. And
- 28:46Speaker 1: like I said, you know, Boosy wanted to get a
- 28:48Speaker 1: major advanced. I said, Boosie, we take the less advanced,
- 28:51Speaker 1: we take the better because you know that way, you
- 28:54Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You can, you know, make your
- 28:56Speaker 1: money on the back end, you know what I'm saying, man,
- 28:58Speaker 1: And these are just the type of things that I
- 29:00Speaker 1: you know, like my man Steve Love, you know, fourteen
- 29:03Speaker 1: International Pixie Polo. You know, on the back end, I'm
- 29:07Speaker 1: helping them with all those deals, you know, the Boosy
- 29:10Speaker 1: juice and all that stuff. You know, when Boosie came
- 29:12Speaker 1: to kill de I'm the one talking to my man
- 29:15Speaker 1: ar Kannelli kill now I'm doing the deal. I got
- 29:19Speaker 1: Arcannelly to buy twenty thousand dollars worth of liquor. I
- 29:22Speaker 1: do a lot of backhand stuff. I want to teach
- 29:24Speaker 1: these brother business because I fortunately, I'm educated on a
- 29:28Speaker 1: lot of levels, you know. I got a lot of
- 29:30Speaker 1: business sense, you know, and like you said, being a
- 29:32Speaker 1: form of pimp, I could teach these brothers how not
- 29:34Speaker 1: to get be pimped by the industry. So that's what
- 29:36Speaker 1: we're doing with the hip hop Fraternity, just waking brothers up,
- 29:39Speaker 1: throw the alarm clock in the gray yard, you know,
- 29:41Speaker 1: because what you go through you grow through, you know.
- 29:43Speaker 1: And if they can change their mentality, they can change
- 29:45Speaker 1: the reality. So we just want them to, you know,
- 29:47Speaker 1: get rid of that I can't and get that I
- 29:49Speaker 1: can mentality.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Would you say to young people who you know, see
- 29:55Speaker 3: what you're doing now and want to get into that?
- 29:58Speaker 3: Would you tell it but they say, hey, maybe I
- 30:00Speaker 3: gotta start pimping first. Would you encourage people to get
- 30:03Speaker 3: into the pimp game.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Well, no, I denounced on Breakfast Cup. I denounced pimps
- 30:08Speaker 1: upholes down in America, pemp And the reason why is
- 30:10Speaker 1: because what really happened. Let me explain that. You know,
- 30:15Speaker 1: if you think about scarface, right during the scarface era,
- 30:19Speaker 1: everybody had scarface pictures up right, we all had the
- 30:22Speaker 1: scar faces, loving love scarface that was in eighty five, right.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Also in eighty five you had colors, right. You know,
- 30:30Speaker 1: right after that, you start seeing gangs everywhere. You start
- 30:33Speaker 1: seeing everybody wanted to be scarface. You started seeing drugs
- 30:37Speaker 1: in all parts of the community. We see then they
- 30:39Speaker 1: come with Nino Brown New Jack City. Then you see
- 30:42Speaker 1: brothers taking over projects.
- 30:43Speaker 3: You say it was propaganda that was pushing.
- 30:45Speaker 1: No, but no. What I'm saying is that CCA Correctional
- 30:48Speaker 1: Corporation of America and through systemic racism and white supremacy,
- 30:53Speaker 1: we can see how this was engineered into our community.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Because you got to remember it. Right after these movies
- 30:59Speaker 1: came out. What happened? You know what I'm saying. You
- 31:01Speaker 1: can't walk with the Crime Building nineteen eighty four, Yeah,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it was eighty four, Joe Biden eighty four, and Clinton
- 31:07Speaker 1: ninety four. It was Biden with all of them, so
- 31:10Speaker 1: it was it was one in eighty four. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 31:13Speaker 1: So yeah, So that what that did was that created
- 31:17Speaker 1: sentence enhancement laws, the trigger locks, A lot of brothers
- 31:20Speaker 1: start going to penitentiary, and the prison system in nineteen
- 31:24Speaker 1: seventy six was two hundred and forty thousand, twenty twenty
- 31:28Speaker 1: four is two point five million. It's America's five percent
- 31:32Speaker 1: of the world population and has a twenty five percent
- 31:37Speaker 1: of the world incorporations cost rats. This is what I'm
- 31:39Speaker 1: going to say, twenty five percent of the world incarceration,
- 31:42Speaker 1: five percent of the world's popular. In terms of eligible
- 31:44Speaker 1: people that go to jail is only six percent of
- 31:46Speaker 1: African American excluding women, children, and old folks and you
- 31:49Speaker 1: know disability, so it's only six percent. So six percent
- 31:53Speaker 1: of eligibility represent twelve point five percent of the people
- 31:57Speaker 1: that's incarcerated in the world. That is engineering, my brother,
- 32:02Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That is not an accident.
- 32:04Speaker 1: That's not a coincident. I think a chance to Willion
- 32:06Speaker 1: call it the destruction of the black civilization. A brother,
- 32:09Speaker 1: Kawanza Katupu, call it the conspiratory destroy young black boys.
- 32:13Speaker 1: You know, a doctor not me, Ogba said, you know
- 32:16Speaker 1: the psychological images and changes slavery. You know, you had
- 32:19Speaker 1: doctor Clyde Anderson up here. That's my favorite person to
- 32:23Speaker 1: listen to. You know, Clade said, you know, it's three
- 32:26Speaker 1: levels of survival. The first level is a game for
- 32:30Speaker 1: employment or job. The next level is welfare, he said,
- 32:34Speaker 1: the third level is crime. So if you take away welfare,
- 32:37Speaker 1: which what they did with our sisters, They told them
- 32:39Speaker 1: you can't have the men in the house. You know
- 32:41Speaker 1: cause I'm from the projects. I'm from the Robertator projects
- 32:43Speaker 1: in Chicago. So we you know, if you if the
- 32:46Speaker 1: sisters and brothers, if the sisters' welfare, the men weren't
- 32:48Speaker 1: allowed to come in the house. So you know, that's
- 32:51Speaker 1: automatically breaking up the black family. You know. And brother
- 32:56Speaker 1: Wesley Mohamad talk about the counter insurgency drugs. You know,
- 32:59Speaker 1: they put all these drugs in our community. You know,
- 33:02Speaker 1: people getting high, people selling drugs, you know, selling drugs
- 33:05Speaker 1: in the addiction as well. You know, the men is
- 33:08Speaker 1: going to jail, the children is out here by themselves,
- 33:11Speaker 1: the mother is single parenting. And guess what, brother Charlamagne
- 33:15Speaker 1: brothers envying, Its just who raising all the killers? If
- 33:21Speaker 1: all our men is in jail and our women is
- 33:24Speaker 1: raising their children, they raising the killers. They raising the
- 33:27Speaker 1: ones that's doing all in jail, So you got to
- 33:29Speaker 1: have a man in the house. I always tell people,
- 33:31Speaker 1: I said, the lion is the king of the jungle
- 33:34Speaker 1: because of his roar. He skied the mess out of
- 33:37Speaker 1: the elephants in the drive. They go crazy when they
- 33:39Speaker 1: hear that. You know, and you know the reason why
- 33:42Speaker 1: the man is the head the household, because it's Adam Mapple.
- 33:45Speaker 1: You know my thought. And there if I tell her
- 33:47Speaker 1: to sit down, you're gonna sit down. Mama gotta tell
- 33:48Speaker 1: the four, five, six seven times. You know your son
- 33:51Speaker 1: six eight, right, he's six eight, You know you five three?
- 33:54Speaker 1: You hitting on them, and you telling my boys sit
- 33:56Speaker 1: down and go down. He's sneaking out the window. He
- 33:58Speaker 1: over there on one hundred and twenty five fifth, he
- 34:00Speaker 1: letting it go. You know what I'm saying. It's popping out.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Why because we need to reunite the black family. The
- 34:08Speaker 1: black family have to come together, you know, men and
- 34:10Speaker 1: the black man the black woman have to make some
- 34:12Speaker 1: type of concession agreement. Otherwise you're gonna continue to see
- 34:16Speaker 1: all this murder in Mayhem. Because, like I said, you
- 34:19Speaker 1: take the man out the household, take his excuses. He's
- 34:22Speaker 1: a dead be dead. We agree with you the man
- 34:25Speaker 1: ain't shit, okay, but who raising the children? Sister's newsflash.
- 34:30Speaker 1: And then there was a white woman and a white
- 34:32Speaker 1: man recently just got caught up. What happened? They try
- 34:36Speaker 1: he kept four people, remember, and they put the mom
- 34:38Speaker 1: in the daddy in jail, Rember the case. So so
- 34:41Speaker 1: so that set president if you understand law, that set presidence.
- 34:44Speaker 1: So what that means is in the near future, when
- 34:47Speaker 1: your son go shoot up the block, possibly you could
- 34:50Speaker 1: be incarcerated for it. He took his parents gun. That
- 34:52Speaker 1: was the one. He took his parents gun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:55Speaker 3: So you denounced pimping because of the negative no oh yeah,
- 34:58Speaker 3: let me finish, let me fitl okay.
- 35:00Speaker 1: So right after pimps up holes down, you know, Snoop
- 35:03Speaker 1: was pipping all over Snoop was pipping Luther Chris pipping
- 35:07Speaker 1: all over the world. T I got pimpscot clip fifty
- 35:11Speaker 1: cent pm P. Right after that, human trafficking laws. Initially
- 35:17Speaker 1: on twenty twenty, they said it was about foreigners coming
- 35:20Speaker 1: over here and bringing young foreigner girl. Next day, you know,
- 35:22Speaker 1: it became a domestic law and locked up a lot
- 35:25Speaker 1: of young black men. And I'm complicit, right, because I'm
- 35:29Speaker 1: a part of the pimps up holes down, unbeknownst to myself,
- 35:32Speaker 1: but that pimps up holes down, that whole era when
- 35:35Speaker 1: nothing but a plot and a plan, because you know,
- 35:37Speaker 1: all the niggas, all the brothers stopped selling drugs, you
- 35:40Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So they stopped selling drugs because
- 35:42Speaker 1: they peep, Oh man, you can get life for this.
- 35:45Speaker 1: So they gave us another. Every time we come up
- 35:48Speaker 1: with something and we get hip to it, they come
- 35:50Speaker 1: up with something else. They introduced another thing. And Hollywood
- 35:52Speaker 1: is complicit as well. You know, That's why I'm trying
- 35:55Speaker 1: to say, it's all about Hollywood. Hollywood did pimps up
- 35:58Speaker 1: holes down? Why would HBO do something called pimps up
- 36:00Speaker 1: hold down? There Lion Gate Dow American pimp and then
- 36:04Speaker 1: right after that you see laws following scar Faced New
- 36:07Speaker 1: Jack City. Right after you see laws follow it. So
- 36:10Speaker 1: you know, as a conscious brother, you know who's intelligent.
- 36:13Speaker 1: I got to say I denounced pimps, upholes down and
- 36:16Speaker 1: American pimps so young people can see that that's not
- 36:19Speaker 1: the way, you know, and you know, you know I'm
- 36:22Speaker 1: driving rolls, Russes and Mercedes and you know, rolexes and stuff,
- 36:25Speaker 1: and I ain't selling no drugs, you know what I'm saying.
- 36:27Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm living in Buckhead and Atlanta.
- 36:30Speaker 1: You know, you know, you know, I'm doing pretty well
- 36:33Speaker 1: for myself and I'm not selling drugs. So I want
- 36:35Speaker 1: young people to know that you don't have to take
- 36:37Speaker 1: that route. That's why we got the games. We got
- 36:39Speaker 1: the crub, the Bloods, the cribs, the gd's device to
