  Speaker 1: right now that's not triggering no shit?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You're not helping it. That's the trick.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You're not helping it. My man said we on gags

• 6:47
  Speaker 3: my people under the bus.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: They smoke weed around me all the time. You know
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Weed's not the problem.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: For a long time, I just felt like I had
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: an empty void in myself, and I've been using crystal, heroin, coke,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: in that gang banging culture since I was 13 years old.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So how'd you get to hard drugs? In our day,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: we have a 40, a blunt. What makes you go
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: on the fucking crystal method?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: That was when I was sixth grade, seventh grade. Damn.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Damn. My first drink I got drunk off was a
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Four Local. I remember that shit. But no, since I
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: was 13, LA, that's game time. 13, you already strapped. 14,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I had my first 22. Yeah, and I'll be on
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Crystal or Coke and I'll be on the block all
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: night strapped up looking for problems, looking for somebody to
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: run into. I wanted to make that name for myself
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and it'll help me stay on the block.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: The sex was different on that shit. Rob Markman, Jr.:
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Crystal? You said the sex was different on
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that shit.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would last rounds on that shit. It's like,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: all I knew, I grew up in a trailer park, man,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: with nothing. And I remember when I was little, my
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: mom used to say, don't go to the trash can,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: because that's where the dope house is at, you know?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: And I would see all the smokers up and down
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: on the bikes and stuff, you know? Later on, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: started slaying out of that dope house, you know? And
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: some of my best friends became smokers. They'll give me
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the drop with the cops, like, hey, the cops are
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: right here, da-da-da. I'll just treat them right, you know?
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: And I'll make my money, bro, but... Yeah, bro. The
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: drugs was a big problem, bro. And I'm still, it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: a struggle every day. Sometimes it's a day at a time.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's an hour at a time. But I like
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: myself better sober. Motherfuckers respect me more sober. Definitely. I
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: think before I speak, you know. And at the end
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: of the day, the comments are going to say what
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: they say. But that was me, bro, back then. That
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: was my lifestyle, bro. I used to get high. You
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? And I didn't care when I
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: was high. I didn't give a fuck about none of it,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: but I think that shit kind of helped me become
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Lefty Gunplay, because it helped, but it didn't.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? But now since people get
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to see the comeback story, I think they respect that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: Nah, of course not.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I hope that shit helps some of these young motherfuckers
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that's on that shit now.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I went on rehab for nine months. I called
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar and Top Dog. I was at an Eve concert.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: It was Eve, Chingy, Ja Rule.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He was there. I'm going to keep it in the G.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: That was the concert and they invited me to go.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Cheney did. Cheney Lane. He a cool guy, man.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: He'll send me books and stuff to like Buddhism and
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: stuff like that to like read for the mental. And
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I was sitting there and I was talking to Top
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Dog and I called.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Him and I said, you know what? I'm going to rehab.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And he's like, what?
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, if you send me tonight, I'll go.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: And I called Steve LaBelle. I said, I'm going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: go to rehab tonight.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: And it was supposed to be for one month. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I stayed over there in Florida for nine months in rehab, man.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: What made you stay so long? You feel like you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: needed that extra time? Nah, they left me without a passport.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: All right, got you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: You know Steve not playing. Yeah. Because I remember there
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: was a tour where... They was like, oh nah, we
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: don't want Lefty Gunn playing in the building type shit.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You felt like it was stopping the business, like hindering
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the business a little bit?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of beef with a lot of rappers,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I don't diss rappers nowadays now this much, but to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the ones that I beef with, they know what time
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: it is when I see them.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: That's my nigga talking. Yeah, when I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: see you, y'all know what time it is, but let's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: get this money. You know what I'm saying? I'm not
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: going to pop it on the net. Rob Markman, Jr.:
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The opps are definitely going to be in the comments.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: So that was affecting my money, man. All this beef
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that I had with other rappers, I couldn't do a
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: show because I beef with him. I couldn't do a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: show because I beef with him. And promoters were scared
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: that I was a liability. And, you know, I was
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: going to, you know, run off, you know, with the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: money in the deposit. I was going to go to
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: jail or get arrested. So, just that name they put
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: on my image, it just, you know, and I did
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: it to myself, bro. You know what I'm saying? I
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: got arrested at Rolling Loud. I get arrested all the time, man,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: but not as much no more.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Not as much no more, man?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: What about not no more period, man? You got a spike.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You know what? I'm not going to sit here and lie.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I try not to look for problems, but look how
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I look, man. Got you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Niggas might think something sweet.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: The cops mess with me and they show me my respect. Recently,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I put a basketball court in my enemy's hood.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I paid for that with
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the mayor and all that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I put a basketball court in the hood. So you
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: did that to be nice or you did that to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: be on some bullshit?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I did that to give back to my community. Okay.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: To give the kids something to do. Right. Because I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: got this platform, you know? What am I doing it for?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You said your enemy's hood. Why not your hood?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Because my enemies got a nicer basketball court that was
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: messed up. So, you know, and that's the basketball court I.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Grew up playing in.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: So, you know, we did a, we did a thing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: We get back to the community, give haircuts, backpacks to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the kids. And that felt real good, you know, in
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: front of the cops, you know, and they're like, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: they didn't think I would change, but I'm doing this
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for the kids and for the people and for the Latinos.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: It's bigger than me. It's deeper than rap. You know
• 12:14

  Speaker 3: they're going to get it. You know what I'm saying?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: People in LA are hungry. You know what I'm saying?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was hungry, I was looking for
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a rapper to grab the chain before I was rapping.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I just feel like it's part of the culture. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: never going to stop. And it's a shame it's like that,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: but it is like that. You just got to, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: move right and move militant. And yeah, the Reekles, I

• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Delano Reception. I've been to Ironwood, Wild School Level 3.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? I've been to the worst spots.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I was just in Ironwood. Last year and a half,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to riot with Fresno Bulldogs.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I participated. I earned all my tattoos. And it's not cool.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Because I was just talking about it. And, you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I remember all the pain I put my mama through. And,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the homies, I did it for the homies
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: in the hood. It was cool to run into them.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: But the pain that I put my mom through, man,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: it wasn't worth it. And she was the only one
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: there that never missed a store. You know what I'm saying?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It is different, man, when you're really in there, bro.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: But I gave it my all, bro. Like I said,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: if I'm going to do this, I'm going to go
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: all out with it. You know, to the kids, I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: hope they don't do it. But, like, you got to
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: know what you really want in life and don't half
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: step with it either. You want to live that lifestyle,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: live that lifestyle, and you'll find out yourself. But don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: play both sides. But, yeah, stay in school, man. I
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: wanted to be a firefighter growing up, you know, to
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: be honest with you. You know, rapping came, like, later
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: on down the line. I said, I could do that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Just being in jail and people saying, like, you a superstar,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: you shouldn't be in here, bro. Like, you know, you
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: should be rapping or doing movies. But I don't recommend
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: it to nobody, bro, to any kid, bro. Stay in school, bro.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: That's for the birds.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: So what was the day in the life like in
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Pelican Bay? Cause you hear about that. Cause you know
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Wake up five in the morning, roll my mattress, you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: it's either my turn or my celly's turn to hit

  Speaker 3: go to, go to yard, work out with the homies,
• 16:41

• 16:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I had to put him working there a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: couple of times.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: What's the worst thing you say you see in prison
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: in your nine year bed? Because you level four.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I seen people get dropped on the weekly. Like people

  Speaker 3: Like, you know, the loudest ones, the most tatted ones
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: are the ones that are, you know, I've seen are
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: going to lock it in, but lock it up. But
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of good people in there, bro.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: A lot of good homies. You saw any rappers in jail, man? Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I seen a couple rappers in jail. What you saw

• 17:47
  Speaker 3: in jail with Cheeto Ranas and Bravo the Back Chaser.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: These are essays devoured. I've been in the high power
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: with Tory Lanez. I've been in jail with X4, Free
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: X4 from 40 Crip.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Who else? I really got to sit there and think.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: But I've been in jail for a long time, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I was with these guys before I was rapping. Got you.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? How was my guy, Tory Lanez?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Man free Tory Lanez. How was Tory Lanez? I never
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: met him, but I just seen him real brief. Okay.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Got you. Long time ago. It's been a minute.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So tell the truth. When we hit the yard, me
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and Murda, we niggas.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: We not friends. Are we friends?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Me and you?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying, if we didn't know each other,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: me and murder hit the yard.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Are we friends?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: We can't ride in the Mexican car, no.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to walk up to y'all and I'm going
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: to ask you if I got permission to cross into
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: y'all territory. Y'all meet me halfway and I'll shake your hand.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: And I'll send you some soups, some soap, some deodorant. And,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you know, I'll make sure that you straight.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: So Mexicans is black. They good on the yard?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Mexicans is with the Mexicans. The blacks is with the blacks.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: The whites are with the Mexicans. And the Asians are
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: with the blacks. Oh, word? That's how it is in LA?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: That's how it is. That's crazy.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Asians run other. They run with the blacks. They share
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the same bars, same thing. And the whites share the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: tables with us and pisses and all that. That's how
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: it goes down.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: So we have to meet halfway. Makes you real racist, bro.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I'm about to say it feel like that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: It makes you real racist. Like, I can't walk into
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: your territory. You can't walk into mine.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And you know what? I'm working out to stay ready
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: for y'all. You know what I'm saying?
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Because in case something happens, we argue about something. California's
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the only place where they segregate you by race. If
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I go in there and I don't know nothing about gangs,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: they're going to put me with a person of my color.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: They're not going to put me in a cell with
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: a black. They segregate you from the jump. And I
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: guess that's what helps it out more. Rob Markman You
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: could tell LA different. They said with a black.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman When you look at the West Coast, right?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Us being from New York, our real introduction was really
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: from movies, Boys in the Hood.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman No facts, of course.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman American Me was like how I looked at
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Mexican gangs out. You still watch American Me? Rob Markman Yeah,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I love that movie. Rob Markman That's one of my favorites.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: American Me, Colors. You know what I mean? When you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: watch Colors, we had an introduction through the culture, like
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: watching movies, Boys in the Hood. Menace to society. You
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: So when you put it like that, I just say,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that's why I say this rap shit, I'm grateful for it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: When I was in there on this last term on
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: this gun case and I was writing raps and my
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: cellies would come in and they'd be like, what you doing?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, nothing. Just writing my girl.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Because I didn't want to say I'm going to be
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: a rapper because it's frowned upon. Like, just to be
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: like an essay and Latino and gang bang.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: With your own homies? With your own homies? Yes, sir. Oh,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. Look at that. Like I said, like- They
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: feel like, why you trying to do something like the blacks?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Why you trying to be black, bro? Got you. You
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Got you.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Why you trying to be black? But that's my vision
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: and what I had in my mind that I wanted
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to do. I seen this in my head. I'm going
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: to run with it. I didn't give a fuck what
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: they thought. You know what I'm saying? And when I
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: first got out of jail this last time, my homies like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: And I was settled with Ja, fired from Hoover.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Shout out to him. And he's like, bro, you just
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: got to go get it, bro. You got it. You
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: can rap.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: And it was always a hobby of mine to do poetry.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: And it's funny now because there's a lot of homies
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: that try to do it. But my people get taken
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: care of from my earnings from rapping.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: From this rap shit. Gotcha. Yeah, I take care of
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the hood. Gotcha. And I take care of my people.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And we're eating off this. So now they're like, okay,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: this shit's working out. And I'm not saying the N-word.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm just telling our story. And I'm with Kendrick
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Lamar and I got a Grammy. So I took it
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the furthest. So this shit worked out for us. Definitely.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: But do you still get some hate from some of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: your peoples a little bit?
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: My homies are all for it. They're like, you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: we support you. They want to be at the shows
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: and all that. Whether rapping works or not, they're still
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: going to be my homies. But I got to lock
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: in even more and take it. It's unheard of for
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: a Latino in L.A. to take it as far as
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I have. But I don't see it that way because...
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: It's happening for me. I don't sit back and trip
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: out and look at it like, fuck.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Because you're in the moment still. You're still in the moment.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So I got out of jail, right?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: And my homie from my hood, my homie Grim, he's like, man,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: what's up, fool?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Second day out of jail. I didn't have no money, nothing.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Gives me a burner. Boom. Gives me some money. Boom.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: He's all, we're back on our shit. All right, cool. Whatever.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: He's all, I said, I'm going to stay home today.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: He's all, you going to stay home? I'm like, yeah,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stay home. I'm right there with my
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: little headphones. Writing my lyrics in my trailer at my,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you know, writing.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You didn't tell him what you was doing? Uh-uh.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: And then one day he's all like, we're going to
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: go to the hood. I said, I'm going to stay
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: right here.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: He goes, you're not going to roll?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: He's like, what the fuck you doing, fool? You haven't been,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: you've been out for a week. You're not the same
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: no more.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, fool, I'm going to be a rapper.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: He looked at me. He's like bald-headed, tatted on the face,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: high white socks, banged out. He looked at me. He's like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to be a rapper? I'm like, yeah, I'm
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a rapper, fool. And I'm going to make it. He's like.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: He got me fucked up.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Jr.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Give my gun back, man. He took his gun back.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: No, no, no. He's like, you tripping.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: It's all about gang banging, man.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like, you tripping, bro. You a lug from
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: the hood. You one of them ones from the barrio.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And it kind of humbled me. I'm like, man, I
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: need to be with these. I'm good at this shit.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: And sure enough, a week later, I got signed.

• 24:52
  Speaker 2: you put some money in. And if your team was
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: doing well, and if you wanted to cash out, they'll
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: lock the trade or take a huge fee. Now that's
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: messed up. Yeah, that's what happened. But polymarket is a
• 25:03

  Speaker 2: Polymarket is poppin'. You know that one.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: That I asked you, right?
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: With your lifestyle growing up, because I know it'd be
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: like how we'd be. We'd be beefing with each other.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Was it like that with y'all too? Did y'all have
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: crews where y'all beef with each other? Or was y'all
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: focused mainly like we against the blacks?
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. Where I grew up, I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was in San Gabriel Valley. So there's no blacks out there. Okay.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Besides Dura Crip and the PDOs. Shout out to both
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: of them. It's all Mexicans out there. It's like East L.A.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I sat SUVs next to each other, so it's all Latinos.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: So I grew up beefing it with Latinos.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman I was beefing with each other. Rob Markman
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But when you go to jail, that's when it's like,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: oh shit, we're together and y'all together.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman So you seen some of your apps before
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: you had to be keeping cool with them?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman Cool, cool with them. But if we go
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to court, we're running it in a tank. It's GP.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: But if I fight you in a tank, in the pod,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: and it's worth enough for me to fight you, if
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: you kill my dead homie- Or you diss me. Or
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: you got my hood whacked out on you.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I need that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: And they're going to let us get it in. But
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: after that, you're going to get 39 seconds, which is
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: 13 times three. You're going to get whooped in the back. So,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: is it worth it to you to fight your enemy? Like,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: to some people, it is. And especially now that I rap,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: when I go back to jail these times, nowadays, it's like,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: I get lined.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Up like a motherfucker. Like, they be like, lefty gun
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: plays in here. I need that. Motherfuckers just want to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: go up in there and say they fucked me up,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you know? Mm-hmm. So, you know, I'm pretty big.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: So how many fades you got to shoot in a day?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Because I know niggas be like, I shoot three fades
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: in a day, cuz.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about right. That seems about right. That's about right. Yep.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: That's about right. Look at that. I just caught him
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, like a couple of months ago.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Like I went in real quick. Just for an arrest.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Let me say y'all went in real quick. Just for
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: an arrest. And I was in the holding tank. And
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I caught two fades in there.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And on the third fade, the homie from Hawaiian Gardens,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: he got up and he said, he already fought twice.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: If he fights again, I'm going to catch his fade.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, fuck it. Catch his fade. And he
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: got him up for me. You know what I'm saying?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Just out of respect for me. I was tired. Got you.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Got you. Look at that.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: No, because Murda, when you look at it, right? In hindsight,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the game coach that came to New York, a little
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: later on, well, way later on than L.A. Of course.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: But we respect every gang in New York City because
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I believe L.A. is like New York. We got as
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: much gangs as y'all do out here now.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And New York is popular.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, New York got crazy gangs now. Yeah. But when
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you look at the gun culture out there, it's pretty
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: much like y'all come from like, your moms might be
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a Serrano.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: My mom a gang man. See? Look at that. Know
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Your dad might be a Crip. Your uncle might.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Be a Blood.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: It's sort of like, It's like they grew up in
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: that culture.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman So that's how it was for you? Because
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: they used to be your moms, bro. I mean, growing up,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: when you grow up in the hood, playing football is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: not fly. It's cool, you know? Play football, but it's
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: with the gangbangers. Rob Markman That's not a reality. That
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't a real reality. Yeah, bitches want to fuck with
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the gangsters and the hustlers and the moneymakers.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: The people out there get money. I've seen my homies
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: get money. I've seen the cars. I've seen that lifestyle.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That's what I want to do.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I used to play sports my whole life, but that's
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: what I.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Wanted to do.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be the best gangster that I could
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: possibly be, which is stupid now.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I look at it, but it helped me now. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: got you. I'm with you. It's very few rappers that
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: are really like that. Of course. Trust me. I can relate.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: And I appreciate the time that God gave me on
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: this earth to do that. I'm fortunate to be out
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: of jail and around people like y'all and Steve LaBelle
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: and my label and just to be able to tell
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: this story. And I feel like nobody's really done it
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: like this.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: It's different.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's ever done it like this from
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: the west side. Really, a Surano out there, 13, gang member, gangsta,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: still active.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I'm still from the hood. I was just with my homies.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Two days ago. I'm like that, and I get to
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: tell our story. You know what I'm saying?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the rap. I'm a rapper now, but I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: from the hood, whether this rap shit don't work out
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: or it don't.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman So how do you feel? Because it's like,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you got this record with Kendrick. Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, TD, everybody,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Top Punch, everybody over there. Rob Markman PG-9. Rob Markman Yeah.

• 30:01
  Speaker 1: They was looking at me crazy on the red carpet too. Who? Everybody.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Walking through that red carpet. Why you say that? Because

  Speaker 1: Who the fuck is this?
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman Yeah, get to that. When did that start
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: in LA? Because I remember us having our little running
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: with Suge. He was, I think, with the 18th Street
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: crew at that time. And that's the first time I've
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: seen somebody with a tattoo on their forehead before Lil Wayne,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: before everybody.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Shout out to 18, King Lil G on Gopi.

  Speaker 2: who got more face tattoos.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I love Blueface. He my neighbor. We live in the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: same city. Every time I go to a store, they

  Speaker 1: who he is. I always looked up to that whole
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: movement back in the day.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I'm like, it's hard. But I wasn't alive at that time.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I was young when Tupac and them were around. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: was like one or zero.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Zero.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: No, but the other day, Steve was right there and

  Speaker 1: I said, what's up?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Who's this?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: He's this lefty gun player. Who's this? He said, man,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it's Suge Knight. I'm like, what the fuck?
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Damn, what was that conversation like?

• 32:15
  Speaker 2: out to Dr.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Dre.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, as a rap fan,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: in my mind, I feel like Suge played a big
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: part in the West Coast rap scene.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, definitely. Of course he did, man. Of course.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Y'all played y'all part in the rap scene. There's legends
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: and Yeah, he a legend, y'all legends, like 50-year legends.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman, But Suge, look, when I look at Suge,

  Speaker 2: Rob Markman, You know? He fit the description though.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Muscle his way through that shit.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman, I mean, you know, the whole West Coast,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: East Coast beef was big for us, because you had

• 32:55

• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Right before we were in the Lakers. We were in

• 37:37
  Speaker 1: of prison, and this is my first time doing a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: show that big.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: You was off a pill or something?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Nah, I was sober. I was sober there. I was
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: sober there.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: And I went out there and I seen all the people.

  Speaker 3: I said, oh shit. That's a lot of motherfucking people.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: And they said, you got to put these headphones on
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: and it's a two second delay. That's a real show.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Facts. So I started sweating in there. My headphones ain't

• 38:17
  Speaker 1: And then you got to memorize your lyrics. And it
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: was my first time doing it. And these other artists
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: got their lyrics on the floor on a computer on
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the floor. They're reading it. These niggas was cheating. Yeah.

  Speaker 3: It was an experience and I want to keep doing
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. It's different than sell out a little

  Speaker 3: auditorium or a theater. But when you're doing stuff like
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: JLP and 40,000 and 20,000 people, that's where it's really at.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: 50 Cent could do that. Eminem, y'all could do that.

• 44:09
  Speaker 3: what I want and learning how to breathe again and
• 44:11

• 44:15
  Speaker 3: it's reinventing myself again.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm still struggling with that. You know, I'm trying
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: to be happy to just sit still. You know what
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like, it's just different, bro. I mean.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I've judged my whole life and now that I'm sober,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: but I like me better sober. People respect me more sober.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: You get what I'm saying?

• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Think people like you more for getting high?
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Nah.

• 44:42
  Speaker 2: for going viral from that.
• 44:44

• 44:49
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? I think that people respect I'm a

  Speaker 1: gangsta and they want to see the comeback story. You
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? I think the ones that went viral,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I wish I could bury them, but it is what
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: it is. You know what I'm saying? But, nah. It
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: make you who you are. I'm proud of you. That's
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: not the reason why I want to go viral for.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: No, I'm proud of you, man. You came a long way, man.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I still got a long way to go. Definitely. For real.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I mean that.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I'm nowhere near where I want to be. I'm far
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: from perfect, but I'm trying.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Ain't none of us perfect, my God. Ain't none of
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: us perfect, man. Ain't none of us perfect.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Ain't nobody perfect, man. I got two kids.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I got a daughter, she's three, and I got a son,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: he's 12. My son is 12, he's my high school sweetheart.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: We don't talk. He was born when I was in jail,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: and I got to work on that relationship. And my daughter,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: she's three. My baby mama had a baby with my enemy,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: from my enemy hood. So I'm dealing with that accordingly,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: the way that I deal with it. But I love
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: my kids, and I know they know I love them.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: How the fuck you go see your kids if he's 12?
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: That's the part. That's the reason that... I didn't know
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: about it until after. I told my mom. She was
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: pregnant with his kid and I found out and my
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: homies were like, we didn't want to tell you. I'm like,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: why didn't y'all tell me? They said, because you're doing
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: such a good job with your career that we.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Didn't want to throw you off. I think about that
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: every day.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: It's like a slap in the face that she's still
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: in the hood, but she got my name all over
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: her and she would do that to me, but I
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: respect her for raising my daughter, and I play my part,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: and I give her money, and I wish I could
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: be in my kid's life more. Her birthday just passed,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm not allowed to see her. I love my kids, man,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: but I could be a better man. I'm trying to
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: figure myself out.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I got to be able to take care of myself
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and make sure I'm mentally straight before I start interfering
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: with my kids. But I love my kids, man. That's
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: real shit, man. I respect that. I respect that, man.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's easy to crash in L.A., man.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Of course, man.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: It's easy to crash, bro.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy, but it's so hard to take
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: it as far as I have. It's hard. It's hard
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: to do that. Like, it's hard to do that. It's
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: hard to do what I'm doing.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: And I had never snitched, never PC'd up, always been turned.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: If the hood needs me right now, I'll go to
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: the hood right now and go take what I got coming.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: My homies respect me. The gangs respect me. I carry
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: myself well. I don't use the N-word. I'm proud to
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: be Latino. You know what I'm saying?
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I stand tall. You know, I'll You know, whatever God
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: has planned for me, you know, I'm on God's timing.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: So, talk about that.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: He got success planned for you, man. You're going to
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: do great things, my guy.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: You said you don't use the N-word. Explain that to me.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: It's in the West Coast. Like, you know, there's some
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: homies that talk like that and to each his own.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: But like I said, I didn't grow up around blacks,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: so I wasn't raised that way. I don't speak like that.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: And I know it's a respectful thing for me not
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: to come up to a black and use that word.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: That's just not in my... vocabulary and I never talked
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: like that. So why would I start talking like that now?
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: I was never raised that way and I wouldn't use
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: that word.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: In the pen. So I just keep my morals that
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I learned in prison from gangbanging and I put that
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: into my everyday life and it helps me out. It
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: really does.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's all the way you grew up. You
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: grew up your whole life around Mexican neighborhoods.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: There's Blacks out here. I mean, there's Latinos out here
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: that use it. That's them.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: But in L.A., I'm not going to talk like that.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be weird if I started using that word. Like,
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you, I'm thinking about it now. Like,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: if I started using it, that's just not me. It's
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: not what I do. And I respect y'all. And I'm
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: not going to talk like that, you know? It's just
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: not my get down. And hopefully more little homies that
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: see this will do it because it takes you further.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: And I've learned, too, that the Latino crowd, as soon
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: as they hear a Latino using that word, they turn
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: it off.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: What? But there's a lot of artists that get away
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: But out here it's different, because we grew up with Latinos,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: and we all together with it. So for us it's
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: a little different. I'm saying out here it's a little different,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: and New York is different. I know you look at
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: it weird, like word for real, but nah, we got
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Spanish dudes.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: That do use the word, and it's all good, like
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: our brothers.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: But if he were to do that in prison, and
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: he was running with us, it would be a different story.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm not from out here, so.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: But it's just the way I was taught and that's
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the way I roll. Respectfully, respectfully. Facts, facts. Respectfully. Facts, man.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's hard to write a rap song and not
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: use that word. So much shit rhymes with that word.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: No, fuck with you.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I figured it out. You said so much shit rhymes
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: with that word. It does.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: It's right there, right? I think when we was, as
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: a kid, introduced to Latin artists, Mexican artists in LA,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: I would say it's Cypress Hills, Killer Man. I remember
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: that coming on the club in New York and like,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: because New York was fucking with the West Coast. When
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: that Cypress Hill Killer Man came out, oh my God,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: that was crazy.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman I like that Cypress Hill, that rock star.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman You know what else was another hit too,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna front? Remember that song? This is for
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: La Raza. Who was my man?
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Kid Frost.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Kid Frost. I remember that was another one on the
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: East Coast that was rocking.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: You like that one?
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Them West Coast videos was playing on Video Music Box, right, Steve?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Back in the days.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: It's crazy how you never know what's that hit, man.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: There's another one that was a commercial record, too.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: God.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Remember Rico? It was Rico Suave. Remember? Rico.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Rico Suave? Rob Markman I know that when I got
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: that Grammy, and I'm surprised they didn't get one, but
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I know the artists that were nominated, they were Latino
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: for Grammys.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman Definitely.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman And I'm the one that got one, but
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I believe they deserve one. Cypress Hill was one of them.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Rob Markman I mean, it's a big market that we
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: don't know about. We came out with Jensen and Vandell
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: a long time ago. I don't know if you're familiar
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: with them. They're a big group. And they had J.Lo
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: out there. And I remember seeing Marc Anthony perform for
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: the first time. And it was like, the crowd was
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: at least 100,000 people.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: Bro, plug me in with Marc Anthony, man.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: It was crazy, man.
• 51:03

• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Experiences I had. Rob Markman, Jr.

  Speaker 2: Marc Anthony's the legend. Marc Anthony, see him perform.
• 51:07

  Speaker 1: a lot of bridges too. being the way that I was.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: And I apologize to all the bridges that I burned.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm learning from my mistakes. And I'm trying to
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: build the, you know, the fort that I had back together,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: you know, a day at a time. But when I

  Speaker 1: I learned, I learned from that.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: But, I'm slowly making my way back, but when I
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: first came into this, JLP gave me an open hand.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: OGZ gave me an open hand. All these rappers embraced me,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: and I did it to myself, but I'm going to
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: build it back on myself. Rob Markman, Jr.: Definitely, man.
