  Speaker 2: Bro and just we knew the project was already done

• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it's no rush. So everybody felt like, all together, it
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was time.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I'm been sitting on these records being o because I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: know y'all y'all done mad music before.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I remember y'all having a tape back to it. No pressure,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: no pressure before, no pressure though, Yeah, we started.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Working on this before. No pressure. This was the initial
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying idea. We wanted to make
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: songs for women, you know what I'm saying, a kind
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: of vulnerable project. But you know, after so long of that,
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: you know, it's still nip hustle, being on adult. We
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: end up making one street record, you know, just to
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: have some fun and then caught that bounce and that's
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: that's how we ended up just you know what I'm saying,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: putting no pressure out first. But yeah, we started working
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: on these songs like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so how did you guys know that this was
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: the project to be like, you know, the sid that

• 2:07
  Speaker 6: well too.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: I think something we all, you know what I'm saying,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: agree to appreciate is the fact that Nip had so
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: much intent, you know what I'm saying, and were lucky
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: to just have so many you know what I'm saying,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: gyms left like through text messages and things like that,
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: just you know, scheduling and just just ideas and you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: his plans. So this was on schedule to be the
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: next release after Victory Lap, and yeah, we're just seeing
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: it through now.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: They said it was eighty percent done pretty much, So
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: what was the other twenty percent.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: That had to be done? Well, you know what I'm saying.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: We had already sequenced, sent the project in that mixed body,
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, got a few mixes, but
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: you know how it is in the final stages of
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, like the mix and everything.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: We had three more last minute records that we want
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: to add into the sequence and we had sent them
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: over and uh, yeah, what was the CARDI record done,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: that was done a minute ago, like before a lot
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: of these records.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: Really yeah, yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: It make that happen, make that feature happening. You know
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Got black Sam ear on it early,
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: you feel me?
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: And uh yeah that was that was a minute ago.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: So they got a chance to actually work with each
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: other for that.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, That's how was Nips work ethic?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Was he like a studio head, like he's stayed in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the studio and record a lot, Like did he do
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: things here and there?
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Like what was it like?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Man us, who's gonna stay in the studio? Uh, whether
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: we got recording done always basically on how Bro felt
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: or you know, we used to push like man, he's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: like my bro, if I don't feel it, I'm not
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: even gonna get in there an attempt to lay it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So he just being there vibing a lot of times.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: You know, probably no better than me because he was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: spent a lot of time in there with Bro. But
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Bro just being just go He'll go to to check
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in to work, though, he'll go early. He'll be watching movies, documentaries,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just getting inspired and once he feel it, turn that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: micro on it and magics happens. Immediately, but he wouldn't
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: force it, like, man, I don't want to. I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: wanna It's not gonna be right. But he definitely would
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: spend days and nights and not leave. He'll lock in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and then you may lock in for thirty days and nothing,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you get just seven
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to eight in one day.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Accurate beat No for sure, Like like Nip, Man, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: see Nip. He'll stay up as long as we do,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, drink as much as us.

  Speaker 5: But he up at five am. He and push up in
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: the middle of the studio. You know what I'm saying.

  Speaker 5: So his work ethic was inspiring. Bro, It definitely, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: know what. It's just sparked a lot of growth in me,
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: just wanting to challenge myself, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Things like that. But yeah, bro, every day it was
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: just it was constantly he calling me in the morning,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: on calling him and we figuring it out. Whatever we're
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: gonna do. Either we're gonna get in the studio create

• 4:39
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Whatever it is, but it worked, Ethic overly for sure.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And how difficult is it hearing his voice? Is it
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: refreshing like a great thing, or is it like damn,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I missed my man feeling?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Man, you know these records aren't like before we started
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: going into this, you know what I'm saying, just closing
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: you feel me. I wasn't listening to these records, you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: our own playing often some times out of team you
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: hear me playing. Somebody wanted to hear him or something
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: real quick. But it's refreshing to see the team get together.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: You know, the same familiar faces that was there, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: working on the project and working on Victory Lot. You know, producers, engineers,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: you know Black see him coming in real hands on.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: It was like, you know, the fraternity, the brotherhood, the fellowship.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. That was refreshing for sure,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: right hold on.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I was asked Black Sam the.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Same Yeah, I think, same thing. Man. For me, it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: it's always hard hearing bro music, but then I get
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: happy laugh. So it's just a roller coaster emotions that anytime.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: But it it did feel good, man, just I know
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: how much the project meant to hustle. I remember when
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he gave it when he gave it to me to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: listen to, Like anytime, Bro, I tell everybody, anytime you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: give me a project, I know it's done. Don't be
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: wanting to hear what I got to say before it's done. Like, man,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it's done. What you're thinking. So at that point I
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: know it's a masterpiece. And so he was proud of
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: this project and I'm just happy that we able to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: put it out. Man to like you were saying to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that CARDI B record, we was pushing for that to
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: be on Victory Lap. Really Hustle was like, man, He's like,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: now you know what this fits this project better. So
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: this project was slated to come after Victory Lap, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: so just the whole thing, every song in there, we
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: kept the same sequence. We didn't add features. I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: maybe one one or two people Man jumped on just
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to elevate, but we kept it. What they put together
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and what they did together as a whole, we kept it,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and that was very important. But to answer your point,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it feel good to finally put this out.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: When people say Nipsey's legacy, saying, what does that phrase
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: actually mean to you? Because you knew the man before
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you know the world knew this this icon.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I think for me, man, it's important. Hustle whole thing
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: was to inspire people. You know, we had multiple conversations
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: so many times. You know, I'm trying to be on
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: business or be to help this thing go forward with Hustle,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: be a asset in any way. I can so all
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: pressure like Bro, we gotta do it, Bro with multiple
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: times like hold on, Bro, we're gonna get to the money.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That's we're gonna do that. My shit is special. This
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: had my stuff has to be has to inspire, And
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of times I'll be like all right, but
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't really fully get it. And so just even now, man,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: seeing how inspirational he is and how many people are
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: inspired and continue to be inspired, I really just be like, damn,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: this was what Bro wanted.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: What's the biggest misconception people have about about it? Because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he's become like a mythical figure now at this.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Point, Man, I don't know, man. I think one thing
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I do say is when this documentary comes out, people
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: love and respect Bro so much, and they probably only
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: know ten fifteen percent of the story. So when this
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: doc come out and people actually like really see I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: think they canna be blown away, and it's gonna be
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be pandama, It's gonna be crazy, you know
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: what I mean. So that's our that's our focus right now.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Just don't mess this dock up because we got so
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: much footage and the story is there. We're just trying
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to take our time and do it correctly.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: The one is it coming out?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I hope maybe next year.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: You're saying that I've heard some legendary stories about you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in this documentary. Yeah, the money I've heard that you've
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: left on the table just because you want to keep
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the integrity of it. I've heard some like some crazy numbers.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: Is that turning down like network offers.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeh, yep. I think for us, like I'm telling everybody,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it's not about money. So no matter how much was
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: on the table, we're not messing this up. But we're
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: not changing the story. And a lot of times people
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we had opportunities, which was good, but it
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: was with interior motives. Obviously it's business people wanted us
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to put the doc out for a lot of money,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: but it has a time or it got to come
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: by November because we're trying to launch our new network
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and this ho on and then with all the research says,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you know, people don't like more than two episodes, so
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: this one has to be too like we're walking. I mean,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we got to do this the right way. We got
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to make sure that it's told the correct way. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I don't even want to talk about business. I want
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to finish it and then once it's done, we'll give
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that shit away for free and tripping on. This ain't
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: about the money player. I just want this to reach everybody,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: and then this thing got to sweep awards because the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: story is there till everybody. It's just on us not
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to mess this up. We can't rush it. We got
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to polish this diamond and you know, it's there for
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the people. And the most important thing is when this
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: documentary come out, this will be another big thing for
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Bro that inspires people and that's his that's his main thing.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: So we gotta do it correctly. People got to see
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: this and just be at all and just be inspired.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: So who is the doctor?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Is it for the day one nip fans of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: people who know his name but don't fully understand his impact.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's for both man. I think it's for
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's for the day ones who want to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: know everything, you know what I mean. And this is
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, Man, we going eight nine episode because
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: we got it. I got what we got. I was
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: incarcerated when my niece was born, so we tracked down footage.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I never thought he even existed. We got when my
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: niece was born in the hospital, so I'm in at
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it just blown away. We got hustle when he first
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: learned how to make beats when he was a young kid.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: We got when he was in elementary. So the spring
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Hill team came in and helped us just comb you
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: know the world, and pulled every anybody who had any footage.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So we got it. So I think the the old
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: white lady, the doctor who doesn't know anything about rap
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: music is going to see this documentary and see a
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: kid grow up gifted and gifted class volunteered to be
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: gifted and was tested by his teachers, and they called
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: my mom said, man, it's crazy. It's the first kid
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that ever volunteered to be tested gifted, and he really
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: is gifted. And then you see him, you know, young,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: selling dope, and then you see you just it's a journey.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: So as you're watching it, you're gonna be going through
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the roller coaster of emotions rooting for this kid and
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to see you know him eventually Grammy nominated, and you're
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: just gonna be just applauding. So that's the journey that
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: we want to take you through this and we have
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: everything there be able to see it in real time.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: And you said you put it off for free and
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: get that shit away.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Man, it's saying about the money. Send the money play y'all.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Don't understand the numbers that I've heard that people wanted
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: for this documentary.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: That says a lot. You can give us a ranger now, oh,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I mean it's even tens of millions.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, you know, through that COVID, through that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: COVID phase, it was upwards to like twenty, like high twenties,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: That's what I heard. And before that, every Duvene helped
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: us secure like a fifteen million dollar situation from Netflix.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: We ended up having to walk from it, but she
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: was like instrumental in helping us, educating us and like, look,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I can bring y'all right to the thing.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And then I heard the story about something. It was
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: one of the screaming platform that was going to launch.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It wanted to use that as the first piece of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: content they put out.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Ye Disney onyx Wow. A lot of people came in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and was supportive and was ready to go. It was
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: just you know, we had to and they didn't understand why.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: But tell everybody our team know why. Like we had
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to just respectfully like, hold on, we're gonna do this
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the correct way. And so you know, we got shelved
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: for a minute because even the team was like, man,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: we got investors like we you turned down all these deals.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: We can't spend no more money until we know how
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: much it's gonna get sold for it. You're talking about
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: giving it away. So now we've just been coming in
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and just one hundred thousand at a time of our
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: own money, just pushing the edit forward. But we're pretty close.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: We got Alan Hughes involved right now too. He's seen
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the footage. Everything happened for a reason, is what I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: tell the team, because when we first was starting, we
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: wanted to bring him in to kind of help us.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: He was busy on the project. I think he was
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: doing the part project. So he's like, man, I really
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: would love to I just I'm committed. And so now
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he's free, so he really see the footage we had.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: He like, what is going on? He's like, man, I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: know exactly.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: What this is.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So he's excited. He's on. So it's like everything you
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: never realized, but everything happened for a reason. I think
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: this is the perfect time to get it done how
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: we really want it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's been at the hell of some great
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: West Coast stories, so that just made all the sense
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in the world. Ye, well, what's the one scene a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: chapter you're most excited for people to see?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Man, it's just so many because I know my brother.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of people ask me about Bro, And one
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: of the questions that a lot of people asked me
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: is like, man, when did Bro? When did he become?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And I'd be like, man, Bro was always like that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Bro was a little kid on a bike leading us
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: find the ship were following him. He was in school.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: You know, we went to school and watched It took
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: me like three years to be able to be like
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I was handling the school. I knew everybody. He came
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: there in two weeks and was running the school. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: he was exceptionally everything he does, he was special, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I think in this documentary you're gonna seem from a child.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: He was just special. And one quality with Bro was
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: he made other people feel special. He made other people
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: he always wanted to take the team with him for
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the journey, educated himself, brought it back, and he just
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: really made you feel like anything could be possible because
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you saw him do it. And then he championed seeing
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: other people be successful, like it was one of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: things that he liked to do. He liked to help
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: out and then see that little help somebody blow up
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and made him feel good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I always wanted to know, you know, when Nip after
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: his past and you see so many people post videos
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and Nip was their best friend, and they post pictures
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: like they knew Nip for a long time. How does
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that make y'all feel When y'all know a lot of
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: that it's not true, and they're using Nip's name and
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: likeness to try to push their projects. How does that
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: both make you feel? Because y'all both were so close
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to him.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I think for me, you know, I just try to
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: let people as long as it's good, positive things, you
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? I can't I try not to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: be trying to judge or try to be h feel
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a certain way, and then I take a step back
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and say, you know, I don't know people certain situations,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: and I don't know everything about Bro, and so I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: just I'll fact check some stuff for sure, you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I go investigating, fact check, But I just one thing
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I know about Bro is he made everybody feel special.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: The valets got they know hustle. I'll pull up anywhere
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and the valets will tell me a story. Valets that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I know, a spots that he went to, you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: anywhere I'm going, people will be like, man, you know what.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: They'll show pictures. So I know Bro moved through life
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: just very respectful and very intentional about having relationships with
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the car Wish guys. Everybody knew him and loved him.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: So when I hear these stories, I'd be like, he could.
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: True, you know what I mean?
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And what was his relationship with New York?
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Because I remember coming up in the mixtape era and
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I would be out when I was outside, he was
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: here a lot. He was in the clubs a lot,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: he was in the streets a lot. I was like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: what is Nip's relationship with New York?
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Wise, it's so tight.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Man Hustle loved New York. Man Hustle, Hustle, since the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: kid loved music. He was adamant listener and collector of
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Source magazine just all hip hop, and New York was,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the big what can I say,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: collections of music that he had. He put me up
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: on everything I listened to, and so he always with
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: number one. He came out here and launched mixtapes, you know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: So you know, I was watching and I was happy
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: he was in New York and he was out here
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: with Johnny Shipes and New York embraced him and.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: He felt safe, he felt comfortab because he was he
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: was uptown Queens Hall of like all over the.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Place, and they embraced Broke and and that's why I
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: love New York so much. And I know Hustle always like, man,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you got to get to New York, bro And so
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: he brought me out here, He brought the whole team
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: out here, and we just got none of belove for
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: New York because of that, and Hustle, I think, not
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: only because he loved New York so much, because they
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: embraced him so much. It was just it became second
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: home to him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Now that's the reason I was gonna say, and is
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: that the reason why Marathon Burger they say you're opening
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: up in Square? Or break with why and tell us
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I think we got an opportunity.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: People that hustle was close to ended up hitting us.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, hey, man, we got a location on Times Square.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: We believe in it. I'm like, what how much is
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: d rent man? You know, we can't bury ourselves. They're like, no,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: we got we grandfather. Then we got a good lease.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: So it's an old restaurant that we had. So I
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: feel like this is this is perfect like everything environment, man,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: it just comes and our drops in our lap kind
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: of It's is one of the ones.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: You just smiled when you talked about bringing Marathon Burger
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: to New York. Is there moments where like, you're doing
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: things because you've the way that you've been able to
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: build out in carried the brand and the legacy of Nipsey.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: It's been one to watch for sure, But are there
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: moments where you're doing things where you smile and you're like,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: I know that me and him would have shared such
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: a problem moment about that.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, for sure, man Hustle, definitely, Man Hustle is you know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: he was instrumental in doing big things. So just us
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: bringing something to New York would have been big for
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Bro for sure. And he was the visionary. He told
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: us at all times, like man, this marathon braand gonna
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: be big, you know what I mean? And it made
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: me believe that, like all right, damn it's he made
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: us read books thirty twenty two Immutable Laws of Branding,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: just always told us about how important and how big
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the brand could be and it could live in so
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: many different sectors. So everything we do, in hindsight, just
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: be like man Hustle just had the vision.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: What's something you learned about leadership that you never would
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: have understood if you.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Hadn't been responsible for carrying that vision.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Brother, Man, I don't know, Man, I think. I think
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: just for me, it's it's very important that we do
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: our part and make sure that we push this to
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the to the to the limit man as much as possible,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: but at the same time making sure that we don't
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: do anything that's not moving with integrity, especially with Bro's legacy.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And really, you know, you got to finance the campaign,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: so it has to be business and Bro has kids,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: you know, my niece and nephew. But at the same time,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: just you know, we're blessed to be able to take
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a step back and try to do things correctly. And
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, everything has to inspire people.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to always come back to this
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: is something to hustle created. This is a vision that
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: he had. This is the concept of Marathon brand. Like
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I'll tell everybody when he was telling us about Marathon,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm fresh out of prison and I'm watching
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: what he was doing with Bullets and Got On Names
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: and I'm excited. And after volume three he's telling us like, yeah, man,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna change the mixtape. I'm like what. I'm like, Bro,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: we going to Bullets and Got On Names volume twenty.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: You got the hottest thing in the streets. What are
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you talking about. He's like, man, I'm gonna change it
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to the Marathon. I'm like what, And so he already knew.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: He's like, man, you know the energy because we jumping
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: off the stage every every venue, getting in fights. It's
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: just going. He's like, man, I want the energy to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: change in the shows. I don't like the energy that
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I'm getting in. I didn't understand it, but when the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Marathon mixtape came out, it was just it was exactly
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: what he what, he what he envisioned, the energy change.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: You got people walking up with resumes, You got people
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: tell them how he inspired them to get through college,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: how he inspired them through basketball. Hustle say, and you
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: inspired me to hustle. So the message and from there
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: became the Marathon movement with clothing, the Marathon store, brand partnerships,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and this is all from him and his vision. So
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I always sit back and I'll be like, damn, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: he make us all believe like this this is actually possible.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: But because he did it, and what I want people
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to do is as big as we can take this,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I want them to realize, you know where it came from,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you know, Hustle. And that's the documentary so important. You
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: got we got footage when Hustle was young and the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: hood selling dope, you know, and just everybody. And that's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: why the streets love Hustle and specifically La. It's from
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: every hood because they know Hustle is just like them.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Hustle came from the exact situations that they came from
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and that was very important for him be like, look, man,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I've been in that same situation that you at just
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you can do it, and they saw him. So that's
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: very important for me, and I feel like that's the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: that's that's our duty to make sure that we keep
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the essence of that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: No you can go, I've heard that too.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Like you know, y'all know y'all turned down mad opportunities
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to even sell the marathon Bran, Like you know, was
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: there ever a number that that made you think about it?
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: Na?
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Never?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Never. I think for us, if we brought a good
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: partner in that has some finance and that can help
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: us scale, I think that's important. But as far as
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: just us selling and just walking away like you can
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: come with a hundred billion, we ain't doing it. There's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: no money. There's no level of money that can be
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: presented to have us walk away.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: How much more music is there? I know you drop
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: these fifteen records? Is there a lot more music? Is
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: it could be continuous dropping?
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Or you know how much I know being on BRO
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: got so much fire.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Music that sounds like how did you pick impression on you?
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because y'all are keeping into synonymous to like his intentions,
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: things he actually worked on his schedule. There has to
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: be a life. He's always like dreaming and planning.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean as a fan, something I look forward
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: to tell him about the door, something I look forward to,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: and something that's dope to me is you know broken.

• 23:25
  Speaker 5: forward to for sure.

  Speaker 5: to overcome that hump of just you know what I'm saying.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: Lincoln was broke from when he first called me.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Like where I come from
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Lincoln with Nipuszle, It's a dream come true. You feel
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: me as a rapper broader, You know what I'm saying.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: It was just a lot a long time of me questioning,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: like damn, why broke trusting me in his space like this?
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Or why he letting me jump in the booth like that?
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. But after you know what
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, and just every day of us doing that,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: it just turned into my obligation. You feel me to
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: hold myself to a certain standard as well as you
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying creatively and and just my execution.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: You feel me.

  Speaker 5: So I'm just here just just you know what I'm saying,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: seeing it through out.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: It's all we could do.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: How did y'all meet?
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Oh Man, Nipussle. He called me off Casey Veggie's phone
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: one day.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: It was always like me and my brothers were like, man,
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: we gotta get a hustle, You feel me if we
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: gotta link with anybody. When Casey knew and I guess
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: he was at the studio with Bro one day I
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: see Casey calling my phone, like he called me every day,
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: and it's Nippussy, like pull up every day.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: We pulled up.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: After that, Why why Nip?
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Because you know, if you knew Nip and you liked
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: his music when he was alive, you you got why
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: people revered him so much when he passed. Yeah, why
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: then in that moment and he was like, y'all want
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to get with Nip because he wasn't the biggest artist
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: out of out of LA by any means.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: At the time.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: I feel like it was it was. It was the influence,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: it was the energy. You know what I'm saying. We're
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: from the same area, bro. You know what I'm saying.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: It was he was the archetype.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: I was in high school looking up the bro. You
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: feel me?
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: So just from where I come from, he was, man,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: he was the one, the prototype.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like you can answer that question now
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: as to why, like you said, being like, why are
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: he trusted me? You think you can answer that now?
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: Nah?
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I can't, But I know you know what I'm saying.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: It was it's like because of class was you know
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. It was around where it's like we
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: all kind of had the same aspirations and goals and
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: things like that, and I just felt like something I
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: see in all of us is that we was willing
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: to learn, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: We was willing to grow and we had open minds.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You feel me, Sam, Do you ever feel like you're
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: not just protecting this legacy, you're protecting the.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Truth about who he was?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah? For sure. I think the important thing once again
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: is people don't even fully understand and you will never
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: fully understand Hustle except if you have a documentary that
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: shows everything about Bro. And there's so many textures and broke.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Bro was funny as hell. Bro was you know, a leader,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Bro like always champion other people's success, inspirational, you know, humble.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: So just seeing footage and seeing documentary and seeing you,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: you'll actually be able to see the human you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: a father, you know. Uh, Rap music is a lot
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: of times you get one side of the person, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that's seeing interviews from Bro and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: you know they get another side. So now with this documentary,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get the full three sixty. You're gonna see everything,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna see you know, human life, Man, you
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: go through ups and downs, and you go through growth,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you go through hard times success. So I feel like
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: that's the that's the most important thing, is putting this
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: documentary out. And then yeah, you know, you hear so
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: many weird stories and this, and people saying, uh, what
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: was going on in the hood and all this. Man,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the documentary shows everything. Documentary show everything about what was
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: going on. One thing I will say, man, Hustle was crazy.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Hustle was not going for anything. It was gonna be
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: confrontational with any and everybody, and it's it's documented, you
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. And you know, I see I'm
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: gonna speak on one thing. I see a lot of
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: things people say about what I did and how I man, Hustle.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: What's gonna make sure I was straight? You know what
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I mean. Hustle. Hustle is gonna lead the charge. So
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: anything anything that I was doing, I was doing secondary.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Hustle was that was the one that's gonna get out there.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: That's gonna sock you first. Hustle gonna get cracking first.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Hustle gonna do everything first. Our whole squad knew, all right,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: we gotta do something before Hustle does for sure, you
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. So you know, I think the documentary, man,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: is very important because you just gonna see it in
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: real time. You're gonna hear real stories from everybody, you
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. And that's it. That's why that's
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: important for.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Me, both of y'all not to jump out the window
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in this era because you can go on YouTube and
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: see some of the goofiest shit about you know, your
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: brother and just anything involved in that that situation.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: How hard is it not to get online and just
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: say something.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Just for me, it was very hard. The only thing
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: that kept me saying is the documentary. It's multiple times
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I'm hitting Steve On, I'm hitting Karing. I'm like, man,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: hey call breakfast Club, hit hit it. I need to
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: go on the tour because I'm like, man, I'm gonna
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: come in here tripping and just be like man, They're
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: like man, just everybody like missaving for the doc. So
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: that's kind of my being at my you know, putting
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: it together, and I'm like, all right, once this comes out,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: it's right here. You're gonna see everything. You're gonna see
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: when Hustle first got the deal. You're gonna see when
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: people first met Hustle, when motherfuckers from the hood first
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: met Hustle. Hustle had gold chains on bulletproof whip. We
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: had surveillance, uff we had spots. We was getting money,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Hustles getting money. This is what people was attracted to
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: see a young dude putting up posters and was like, oh,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I want to help you take it to the next level.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: So Hustle ben a star. Hustle was like Michael Jackson
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: in the hood. You could pull up and next thing
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: you know, fifty sixty of the homies is right there.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: You know, we had the shop. I used to we
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: used to tell Hustle, like, bro, stop pulling up in
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: front hanging out, because when you pull up now you
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: got fifty crips in the front. Nobody's coming to the shop.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: This is not good for business. This is what this
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: is in two thousand and six.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: So I think the documentary is gonna put shed light
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: on that and show you who Hustle Hustle was. And
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: for me, the most important thing is within the hood,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: politics and all the shit, the thirstiest and thirstiest things happening,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: and Hustle bumping heads because Hustle not going for nothing.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Now we damn there into it. Hustle made a point
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: not to leave through everything. He's like, nah, my shit
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: got to be right here. It's got to be inspirational
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: for the people. Got to be motivated from every hood.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: And Hustle motivated the whole, the whole hood. Like you
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: know what's saying everybody in La into what people say, Oh,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Hustle wasn't that big, you know everywhere, but in La
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Hustle was the one because people like, man, Hustle did
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: it ship, we could do it, you know, Hustle did
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: it in his hood with his homies and his brother
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: and his team, and we could do it. And that's
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: what he motivated a lot of people that felt like
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: or were called like unmotivatable. He motivated them and they like,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: hold on, man, we can do it. They start educating themselves,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: they start opening up businesses, they want to get record labels,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: they want to mobilize, they team or they hood. And
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: it was like I see people all day from different
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: areas that supposed to be you know, beefing or not
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: with not cool with the hood. They got tattoos, all
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: money in they was like, bro, all that man, look
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I got, I got all money and tatted on me.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: I know that's because they were inspired by bro And
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: that's another good thing. That's just like, man, this is
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: this is bro.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Gold because of because of all of that, right and
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: the things that you see and what you know Nipsey
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: stood on. Do you feel the responsibility to correct a
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: record when things like there was a new federal indictment
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: that mentioned Nipsey's name in relation to something that went down,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: or like attention with him in Big U, Like when
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: you see stuff like that all these years after his
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: past and his name coming up in court documents, Like,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: what's your reaction?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Man, I think I've been I've been very vocal at
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: all times. Anybody from the hood or anybody that know
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: me or anything. Man, listen, man, Hustle was not going
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: for anything in any form or fashion, you know what
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I mean. Hustle a lot of times had conflict with
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, multiple people, and may come up
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: in a lot of court documents when any certain people
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: have situations. So to me, it's just it's stuff that
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: we already knew. A lot of that stuff is wrong
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: and it's not correct. So for me, and not just
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: with do with everything. That documentary once again is important
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: because you're gonna see you're gonna see the timeline, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see what really happened. And some of that
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: stuff that I that I'm reading is false and I
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: seen myself and some of this stuff. I'm like, man,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: not to speak on on certain situations or speak on
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: other people's situations. But for our situation, anytime there was
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: anything at our shop, it was a melee. Hustle cracked
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: it off and only time, and it was multiple times,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: and I've been arrested for each of them, but multiple
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: times shot. So it's not like that multiple times shots
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: was fired. It was because it was already a long
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: melee and motherfuckers was bringing more people talking about it
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: wasn't no head up phase, so no, it ain't no
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: head ups. All right, cool, we airing it out. So
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: that's the only thing that ever went down, And it
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: was multiple times that happened. And you know, it was
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a clear understanding, like you're gonna give niggas their head
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: up phase and Hustle gonna go first, whether we're telling
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: them not to or not, like man, watch out. And
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: then after that it was a structure and it was understood.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: So that's not speaking on that's just on anything that
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: ever happened in front of our situation. It's Hustle, got
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: songs about it too, shootouts in front of shop now
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: it's an az like he's referencing real situations that like,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: we're not going for it. And that's what everybody knew.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Everybody in the area already noticed. So anytime I hear
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: anything coming out from podcasters or people that speculate, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I just laugh and be like, man, you don't, you don't.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: You just did not know Bro. You know what I mean?
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: You did not know Bro at a lot of people
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: didn't like Bro because of that. You know, it's older people,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: it's reputable people. It's people that was talking to Bro
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: crazy that got socked in. They shit as soon as
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: they said it, and it's just like it is what
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you got to live with it. But that's why Hustle
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: is legendary in our hood and in every other hood
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: because the phone calls is made that it vibrates to
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: everywhere and everybody's just when they see the Hustle out,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: salute Bro. It's never been done in history, but you
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: did it. And that's just one of the things that
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: you know, I sit back and laugh. Our whole team like, man,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: it's Hustle, it's crazy.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: If you don't want to address this, I understand, but
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: what because we don't know? But you don't got a clue?
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: A disrecord the big.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: U because that's what the indictment said as well.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I think you don't got a clue. Was what Bro
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: was going through at that time. You know, it was
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: a very uh problematic time for us in the streets police. Uh.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: You know, we were trying to finance the campaign, legal
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: ship going on, and it was it was it was like, man,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: we got one shot at this, and you know, we
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: was all in. And at that time, Hustle felt a
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: little betrayed because certain individuals were no longer aligned or
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: seeing the vision and weren't weren't understanding. He like, Bro,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: like this Marathon mixtape. I'm about to drop. Man, it's
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: gonna change the game. I just he just got dropped
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: from the label. You know, my team and everybody our
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: team was kind of like, Bro, you lost the deal.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: He like, Bro, trust me, I got all my masters.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I'm about to about to double back. They put it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: They put a million dollars of marketing on me and
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I'm where I need to be. I'm about to double
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: back and we about to bang them on this independence
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: to trust me, so you know, I'm this my brother.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I was mad, but I'm like all right, shit, okay, cool,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm with you regardless. And then the team and
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: the people that love Bro, but certain other people and
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of them who weren't really all
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: in like that got mad and felt a certain way
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and was like, man, fuck this dude. And so at
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: that point, certain things like man, that little piece of
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: equipment that I gave or this or this or this,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: let me get that back? So like what okay, and
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: was like all right, man, go ahead. And so at
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: that point, I feel like Hustle just was like I
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: had a vendetta and was like, Man, these niggas, Man,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: these niggas ain't really with me, and so that you
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: ain't got a clue. Record to me was everything that
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: he was speaking on for multiple different people, just anybody
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: who didn't fully understand or wasn't really with him. He
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: was setting the record straight. And I remember when we
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: first heard that record, I didn't even I didn't even
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: look into the way he spelled the title. You know,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I figured that out later after we was like getting
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: into it and I was like, oh, this nigga Hustle
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: is crazy. But you know that's specifically just speaking on
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: a real time and multiple people I believe was was
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: was in it. I was hoping. I was hoping I
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: wasn't being referenced in there. I'm like, bro, I help,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm were with you. You know I'm saying
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: with you on this ship. So you know, just jokingly,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: but Hustle, everything you listen to on Hustle music, I
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: think is authentic and you can catch a real time.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: And like I said, if Hustle not feeling, he's not recording.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: But if Hustle was inspired or going through something real
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: in his life, he's gonna get in there and record.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: And so that was just one of the moments that
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: you know resulted and record.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what in La Times just said.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, I guess you wanted the equipment, Nipsey didn't want
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to turn it over, So then Nipsey did the record,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: and then you came to discipline nip and you intervened
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and stopped it from getting physical.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: That's wrong.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: So so.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Uh, speaking on.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Big U.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: He gave Hustle some equipment. It was an HD. Just
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: to clarify, he gave Hustle HD. Now me, personally, I
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: never liked dude like that, So I told Hustle obviously,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, fu, fuck dude and fuck that HD. We
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: go get wrong. Hustle like, Bro, I need the HD.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I got everything else, I need the HD. My shit
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: gotta sound right, all right, So he got the HD.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: So in the middle of him recording the project, dude like, hey,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I need my HD back. I got my other artists.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get these dudes deals. Basically, like
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: you lost your deal. To give me my HD equipment
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: back is his. So Hustle gave it back to him.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: There wasn't nothing about trying to it. He was like,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: all right, go ahead. Hustle was mad, though Hustle felt
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: the way. It was like, man, this nigga took took
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the HD, like what's going on is trying to sabotage
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: my project And that's what happened. And as far as
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you know, I'm not gonna get
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: into pulling up discipline or anything like that, but I
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: will say anybody that came Hustles getting cracking first in
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: melee at all times, and once you start seeing it
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: not go that way, and and our whole squad is there,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: copy everybody that love Hustle, and it's going down and
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: both the fats pulling up, and it's a it's a melee,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: you know, Hustle, love that ship like we're gonna line
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: this ship up, Hustles what And that's why Hustle, That's
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: why niggas love Hustle. And the only time me specifically
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and multiple times, if I'm getting cracking is because niggas
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: are talking about they didn't like how the lineup is
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: going and they're trying to get more people to come.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: And now it's talking about no head up, fadse and
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: so at that point, all right, we are it out.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: And that's that's that's not speaking on dude or dude case.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: That's just me saying anything that happened at that parking lot,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: and it was multiple things at that parking lot, multiple
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: things that I've been arrested for. And it's just in
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: things that I have not been arrested for. If anybody
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: really if niggas talking about it ain't no head up phase,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: and it's getting aired out. And that's after the melee.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: That's after we get it cracking. And that's because it
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: was not going Nigga's way.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I always wanted to know when you when you came home.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Was this always the plan for you to help your
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: brother to get in the industry, to manage to run everything.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Was that always the plan from the door or was
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: it something that fell into your lap? It was like,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: now I'm home, my brother dad.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: I think I remember before I went to jail, my
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: brother was telling me about the record label that he
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: created and was telling us, I want you know, we
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: about to have a record label, and once again made
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: me believe, like you know, he's reading books about uh
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: the cash Money deal and you know, Rockefeller's deal and
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Masterpiece deal, and so I'm like, man, what is this
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: guy talking about. So he made me believe it was possible.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: He's recording himself, he's putting mixtapes out, he's putting posters up,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: and so I'm all in as much as I can do.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to add a little bit of value
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: to what he was already doing. And I felt appreciated.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciated that he came back and wanted
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: to involve me, you know, because we was all doing
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: the legal ship. That would have just ain't gonna work.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day. You may you may
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: win sometimes, but you're gonna end up losing. So I
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: think he saw that too, you know what I mean,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: and gave us a way out. And like I tell everybody,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: that was when I went to prison. That was the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: easiest time I did because I was getting updates. Bro
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: was in New York cracking. They sending me things. Man,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I'm kicking back with my feet up. I'm happy. You know,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: he's out the hood, He's successful. And I think I
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: was in prison, I seen the Hustle in the House
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: video for the first time. Like man, it was just
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: monumental crazy, and I knew at that point I got goosebumps.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Everybody in there was going crazy. And when I got out,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to make sure that I could add
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: value in any way. And I'm here to do whatever
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: is needed, and you know, I think just trying to
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: find my lane and figure out what I could do
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: to help. You know, Bro musically knew what he needed
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and he knew that I was there to tap in
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: if you needed me, and he had management, he had
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: a good squad, and I was just there to help.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: And so one of my things was the clothing. But
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: anything that hustle would need me, need me to tap in.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: And obviously just as a brother forget business, just as
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: a brother I'm from from a step back, and our
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: other partner of Facts and my cousin Adam, just everybody
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: kind of making sure that the people he surrounded himself
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: with we're authentic. Then at least they knew that he
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: got a family and he got a team that's that
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: that that's gonna be looking out for his best interest,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: which was important. So that was that was kind of
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: my role in the other team's role.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I want to ask both of y'alls. Protecting his legacy
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: made grieving him easier or harder?
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Man, I don't know, man, I think he's a grieving bro.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: It's just it's hard. It's always gonna be I tell everybody,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be something that every day. Man, I'm gonna
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: just it's gonna be hard because're gonna have memories. I
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: think being focused and having something to do with your
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: time for me is important just in anything that I do.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: So I think at least we have a compass and
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: we have a long checklist of things that we know
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Bro wanted to do and he kind of guided us.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: So that gives me a little purpose kind of. So
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if to answer the question, but what
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: about you being there?
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I don't think. I agree.
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: I don't think the grief gonna get no easier, But
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: I feel like the motiva, the motivation to keep going,
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, It's just based off the fact.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: I feel like that's what Bro. You know, we want,
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So that's the thing. You know,
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: it's easier to just keep it going, just stay resilient, you.
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: Know what I'm saying.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: What's something that you know, nipping vision for Marathon that
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: still hasn't happened yet that y'all got on that list.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I think Hustle always was talking about he wanted ten
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Marathon stores and all his strategic his best markets. He
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: always big about like, man, I want to I want
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: to open up ten Marathon stores, And anytime I drop
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: a project, I'm just gonna ship one hundred thousand to
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: each store, and I'm shipping platinum off the jump off
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: the gate and we look like crazy, this is crazy,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: but that was his main goal to do that. So
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: in the perfect world, if we're able to ever get that,
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: like I tell his daughter, my niece, like, man, this
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: is the goal. So if I'm not here, you make
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: sure that we you know, get this, get this to
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: the finish line.
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: That's doe.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: What are those conversations like, like when you're talking to
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: your niece about those plans and like kind of preparing
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: her for because at this point now the brand is
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: to the point where that probably will happen, where there
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: will be generations of Marathon and prolific and all these things.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Yep, I think I just try to tell her and
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: educate her on who her dad was, and you know,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: giving her time to understand, and also explained to her
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: the importance of ownership. And you know, I tell her,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: don't never sell you your dad masters, don't never just
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: you know this, this is this is important. And then
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: also work ethic. You know, no matter how much money
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: you have, you could you could blow it. So just
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: what are you going to do for a living. This
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: is a lifestyle, like what you gotta wake up and
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: do something. It's not about just hanging out and just
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: spending money. So this is she probably get tired of
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: me telling her this, but this is what I'm telling
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: her telling hers, So I feel confident, like she's ready
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: and she already be telling me like, man, you need
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: to get this. This is the new clothes you need
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: to got. You guys need to get with this. So
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, come on, we need your need
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: your bounce right now. So she's I think excited, and
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: she understands the importance of her coming in and just
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: you know, taking over and helping wrote this. And I
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: tell her all the time. I said, Man, by the
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: time you know, you get a little three four year
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: running this, man, we better be on private jets. Man,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: you got to take this to the next level.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: What about you, Sam? You know what I'm saying, twenty
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: years from now? What do you what do you hope
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: they say you you protected? Besides just you know Nipsey's.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Name, Man, I just I just hope that you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: in time, people will just man just hopefully respect that. Uh.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: We moved with integrity. Man. We just try to do
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: the right thing. And also if people can be inspired
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: about anything that we do, that's important too. That's really it. Man.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I don't really you know, look too much on that, man.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: I just try to do that. You never know, in life, man,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: it's ups and downs. Man. You just gotta thug it
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: out and and put the best foot forward. And that's
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: just what we've been doing.
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: And I think message to the youth or to anybody
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: that's just just looking, it's just as you got to
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: stay at it.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It's really like what Hussell said, it's a marathon. You know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not gonna always be easy. You know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: you just got to keep going and then you're gonna
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: eventually get to the finish line. And what that finish
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: line is or the journey, you'll never know.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like running that race is what has kept
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: you focused. It's kept you from crashing out, for sure.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I really feel that way, because you know, we've seen
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: moments where it's like, you know, I feel like saying
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: about the loser a little bit, but I feel like
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the vision of what your attempting to do with marathon
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: is what keeps you.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: From doing it.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: I think for sure, man, I.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Think I think about that one incident when the marathon
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Berger opened up. You showed a lot of poise when
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: you you escorted a dude out of there.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, I think, yeah, oh boy, we know him
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: and we got love for him. So it was just
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: a time or certain things that had to get addressed,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: like man, we're not doing that. But yeah, I mean God,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: God been good man and been putting certain things in
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: front of us and then keeping other things from in
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: front of us, which is which is good because sometimes
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: you can't do nothing but just react. So I've been
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: trying to put myself in the space of just let's work,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: and then every now and then you just can't avoid it.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: And then at that point it be like, man, fuck it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: We ain't putting none of this success or anything in
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: front of what we're supposed to do. So you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I'll just be like God, if you let me run
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: into these people, it's going down. If not, I'm gonna
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: just take it as you know, it's thank you. But
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: other than that, man, we focused. We ain't really you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: we ain't focus on other people. We focus on what
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: we're doing like always, and we wish everybody the best
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: and wish people's success and just no be grateful. Hopefully
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: nobody come in our lane and now they're gonna have
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: to get their head.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: But I was how surprising was like when you had
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: so many celebrities come to the spot, and not just
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: hip hop celebrities, right cause you expect that, Like when
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: you have Stevie Wonder pulling up and how do you
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: know what the order? Like, how do you go number one?
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Like what did he point to on the line?
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Right right? I think, man, it's big to me. It's
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: a testament to Bro Man and the inspiration and people
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: just showing support for Bro and really what the brand
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: stands for and everybody man all walks of life, like
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: you said, come out and show love. And I'll be
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: always surprised that.
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: You need to call yo.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: Stevie Want is here right now and you I'm about.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we was in there. And actually somebody from our
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: camp is close to bro family, close to his team,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: and you know, I think Stevie found out the Hustle
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: was a big fan. Stevie did something at the funeral,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: so they reached out and it was like, man, Stevie
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Wonder want to pull up, So we're like, man, thank you.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: So just all you'd be surprised how many different people
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: in the network that that that that Bro has and
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: friends of family they reach out and they just show
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: love and just want to, you know, show support and
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: that and that always tells me the type of person
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: that Bro was.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: What's what's one lesson that you hear from Nip in
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: your head every day, both of y'all.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: For me, man, it's just life is a marathon. Man,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: run a lot. You know, this ship is not gonna
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: be easy. It's not gonna be just everything all there
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: for you. You know, from the outside looking in. You know,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: when you're doing a good job, it makes everybody think
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: it's easy or makes everybody think like, oh man, they
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: got it. But you know, in real life, you gotta
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: do the work and just get up breacka day man,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: regardless of where you at.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I always see also telling multiple people on
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: videos too, and he told us, man, you just got
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: to start. You got to start. It started, and then
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: by the time you look up, you know, you be
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: so much closer to where you're trying to get to.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: But just start, how about you?
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree the same things.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: I feel like every day, even coming up here, you know,
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: Lincoln with y'alls tired as it only like three hours
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: of sleep, but every day I had that voice like,
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: you know, wake your game up. It's videos on Instagram.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: You can see Bro fove in the morning in the studio.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: I'm knocked out somewhere you see, you know, wake your
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: game up where you at?
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: So every day it's get up and keep going.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Sure it's gonna sound crazy, but have you visited y'all?
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: I had a I had a few dreams. I'll be like,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: not remembering my dreams, but I had a few dreams, Bro, Yeah,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: not that many, though.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: I have had a few conversations.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Or just yeah, just kind of crazy. Like you know
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: how dreams be just some crazy stuff.
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: But what confirmation that he's that he's good? Basically?
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And when you wake up and remember them, is
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: there anything that's also confirming for you in your real life,
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: like maybe questions you were trying to answer that you
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: might have been able to talk to him about what
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: you can't now.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Nah, I mean, it's just to be honest, just the dreams,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I'll just be like, damn, that's crazy. It was a
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: dream with Bro some crazy shit. But it's just like
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: you know, Bro shooting the gang of Ship and just
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: making sure people were straight and so then I wake
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: up and I'm like, damn, what's going on? Like, you
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: know how dreams don't be making sense. But then it's
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: like just Bro being a protector or being making sure
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: that the family was good, make sure everybody's good. It
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: was kind of what I took that ass. It's like
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Bro looking like Rambow and the dream you know what
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: dream is this? It's like crazy, but that was that
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: was one of the things. But you know how, at
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: least my dreams be like you never they be like
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: dreams you don't know what it's about. But that was
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: one of them.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: If Nip walked into Marathon Burger today, what would make
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: him proud?
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: And what would he tell y'all to do better?
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Man? I think anytime we did something or something big
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: hustle will always like smile and be like, man, I
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: told niggas this ship and be high fiving everybody and
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: be like, man, these niggas got us fucked up. So
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: I think Bro would just be happy and then after that,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: you know, celebration, be like, man, let's pay pay attention
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: to the details and make sure, you know, we uphold
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: the standard. And then he probably would be like, make
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: sure everybody come in here is feeling respected and appreciate it.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. And so that's one of the things we
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: try to preach to everybody, like, man, it's not no,
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: but nobody owe us to come in here and spend
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: any money. Like we got to make sure people feel
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: appreciated and they spending their money and don't get caught
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: up in like the hype of like, oh it's Marathon Burger,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: like it's a privilege for somebody that No, we're privileged
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: that they come in and people are coming to support.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: And I think for me, it's important that like Hustle
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: hustle whole campaign was started out of a trunk and
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: when he was a teenager with mixtapes and so the
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: community and the people that supported him. He always wanted
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: to pay how muche too, and always remind people like
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: without without the people, he would never even been able
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: to be started. So I think that's one of the
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: things he would always probably be telling us to remember,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: like remember that we never forget where we came from,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: how we even got here, and the support that got
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: us here.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that, And that's what I hope
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: that's one of the things I hope the doctor addresses
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: because when people think Nick now, they think about ownership
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: with so much people forget that he was also talking
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: about community. I feel like that's part of his message
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: that gets missed a lot, like the whole neighborhood nip things.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: I hope that gets shown in the DOT.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: No, definitely will man. I think the reason why, at
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: least in the area people love Hustle so much, from
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: the aunties, the grandma's, the smokers, the little kids, that
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: was inspired by Bros because they seen him on every level.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: You know, they seen him as a young kid starting
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: gang banging people like, oh man, what's this young dude doing?
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Going down the wrong route and then selling dope, you know,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: fighting going to jail and at the same time trying
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: to do something positive and being able to have success
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: and then not just leaving actually doing something, employing you know,
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: people that he grew up with, you know, helping families
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: and helping you know, family members get off of probation
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: or get off of parole, and you know doing it
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: right there, you know, opening stores and just the inspiration
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: that that showed in that area is you know, unmatched
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: because you can't buy it. You know, people seen it. It
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: was like nah, And I think that that was one
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: of his main things. He's like, nah, I want to
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: make sure that I inspire the people that came from
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: what I came from. And so in the documentary that's
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: one of the big sections because I think it's important.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: You know, some people like he inspired a certain generation,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: but there may be new generations coming up that may
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: not have that inspiration or may not even be privy
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: to the music. So at least they'll be to this
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: story and be able to see the story and take
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: inspiration from that.
