  Speaker 3: the listen to the lyrics. Go back and listen, Damn listen.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: When y'all do shows like the twenty five year show,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: is it bittersweet because so many of your people are here.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Pivotal moments.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you mean like X X going big like stuff
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, certain people, but not everybody.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: Like that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Pretty much every show we wrap X and Big anyway,
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean, we make sure to do that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: And when we go do a show, we go out
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: and have a good time. We're going to give a
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: good time. We're going to give a good time for
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: the crowd and just in general, not the shows though,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: but in general. Sometimes you sit and you know, you
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: you definitely wish those folks were still around, Like, uh
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: not a lot of mcs could get the save they've
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: been around directly around Big and directly around X.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Big Big passs like it was. It was incredible, like crazy,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But like with X with me, it's more like I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: can't believe that he ain't here. The difference like that,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I can't believe X in here, you.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, Like you know, we're from the same town.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Big was our big brother industry wise, Uh, X is
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: the reason we were on in the first place. So
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: that's what makes you know X so much in our heart.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Like he he was connected with rough riders first. Uh
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: he brought rough riders to us, us, the rough riders whatever.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: However you want to say. Then we ended up getting
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: on first.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: And X never showed a bit of bitterness, never showed
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: any uh no pun intended.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: But he never showed envy. He never showed any sort
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: of ill feelings.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: He was happy for us, and he had the confidence
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: and what presence known what he could do, like you
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: know what I mean. And then as you see when
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: he got in the industry, kicked the door all the
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: way down, his addums and all of that stuff. So
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: and especially the things he did, you know, ship we
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: went from beatboxing and banging on mailboxes and having that
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: same passion.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Of sort of make it, you know, make it. It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a whole other thing. So yeah, like it was. It
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: was crazy to when when he went I.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Actually got the actually called his ex wife when it happened,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: because the police officer I knew was on the scene
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: and he.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Gave me a call because I was the only one,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: remember that night, I was only full number. Yeah, so
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I probably was like one of.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: The first people to know and had to reach out
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: to other people. So it was kind of a very
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: shocking moment to say the least.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I want that to ask, you know.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I was having this argument in conversation Biggie as a lyricist.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Where do you rank Biggie as is as far as
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: all these mcs? Because the best, That's what I said.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people don't see it because
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: they don't hear it as much.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: But it's a simple answer why he's the best, And
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of great lyricists across the world. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: feel he had the most different categories and styles he
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: could fit under. So he could rap gangster, he can
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: give you a bones, dug joint, he can give you
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: something for the ladies, give you some yardy. He just
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: had a lot of different categories. Storytelling, storyteller. I think
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: most great mcs are like great at two things, maybe
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: three things maximum.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I think he was very well rounded with his.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: His ability to catch different pockets, styles, his wordplay, and
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: just his his flamboyance. But he had intricate details. When
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: he says something, you know what I mean. So I
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: put him for me.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: He's always my number one.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You just not have like a lot of music. You
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of music. That's probably wise. Any
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: kind of debate on he had what three albums? Yeah,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: but these guys got catalogs nowadays.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Man, you know, you know, twenty five years of money
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: Power respect. I don't know why, but in my mind,
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: I felt like as a consumer, we always felt like
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: y'all didn't like that album.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Especially when you started the whole money Power.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I always felt like y'all were I love that album.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, I love the album.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: I didn't like that we didn't have the control we
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: wanted and just being in the situation, Uh, we came in.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We had to listen to like What's Hot in Houston,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: What's hot in in Detroit? And this, and that you
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: gotta make a song like this and that. We we
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: had no plans on rapping like that, you know what
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I mean? But you know you're like, yo, listen, playboy,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you gotta do this over here, and then this song
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: is gonna pop over here. We're like, all right, cool,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you know that's the direction we was going.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: But I guess because y'all, y'all shitted on the Shiny
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Shoot era so much.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people, Yeah, I felt like we had to be strategic.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had to be strategic.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: And if you go to war with somebody, you gotta
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: really especially if somebody with more money than you, you
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: have to kind of sit back, think and evaluate ways
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: to strategically make your point of views and make people
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: want to ride with you.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So, you know, people, you got to think. At the time,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: before we put out our first.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Album, we did a lot of mixtape ship, so a
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: lot of people came from that's where we came from.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: You a lot of people were used to us digging
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: in a certain way, so the mixtape wasn't the same
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: thing as what you were getting there. So it's like
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: when we flip, we need a few strategies to be
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: able to take this war on.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: How hard was one of it? How hard was it
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you guys to do Jiggy right? So I want you
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: to break it down.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: So at the time, of course, your bodied, every mixtape,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: your body in, every feature band from TV, you name it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: And when Puff puts on, if you think about on
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: jig that wasn't one of the producers in there, Like
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I think people and do it definitely did.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: The on on the on the track, did the remix?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: It was a remix.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: I can't remember who it is, but we weren't. We
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: weren't against the idea. I can tell you that straight
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: straight up, because we liked the Rod Stewart's song that
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: it originated from, so we was with it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: It really, uh, it was too much like it's It's
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: probably one I wanted to get over with.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And then the video like a bunch of the dances
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and stuff. It was just a little and all that.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: What was that, right, wasn't it was?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't like the leather, I remember that. I didn't
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: like the I didn't like the wardrobe. But make the song.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I wasn't put a in a different tax bracket. It
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: did well, but you know, you don't get.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: To the you know, if you if you it's like
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: playing street ball. It didn't go in to the Chicago bulls.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: You gotta listen to what the coaching them is saying.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: See what the see what the formula is. But you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: I love money power respect, To be honest with you,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: I love that album and the reason I love it
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: because that term still sticks up until today. Absolutely, there's
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: plenty of young artists who you know, money power respect,
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: like you you kind of model.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they a lot of people live off that model,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: so it was it was worthwhile it was Biggie around
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: for any of the making of that of money power respect.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I don't remember. I don't think so. I want to
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: say no, I don't think so. I don't know.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: Do you think you think the trajectory of being on
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: Bad Boy would have been different if Biggie.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: Was still absolutely thousand, absolutely a thousand percent because we
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: had a or again in connection.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: We had a very organic connection.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Big was a beautiful soul like he was a very classy,
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: charismatic dude because he didn't have to embrace us.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: That's the first, Like, we're from Yonkers, New York.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: So the minute he heard us rom I'll never forget,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: he was like, y'all mother as us Ron Bron, I'm
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: glad y'all here.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: And to hear somebody that achieved.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: That much success say that to people he didn't know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: And then we just kind of like, you know, uh,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: we bring out weed, we bring what we drink.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: He was a boss up there too. Yeah, he was clear.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: He used to tell Puff like yo, like, but yo
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: not Puff. That ain't them. Nah, they gotta do this, Nah,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: they gotta have them stay over here or nah, like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you know, he was like controlling even say something to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: puff he was saying he was he.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Was like that he had a best interest.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: He could have went either way. Say we did you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: know he had a label, you know, like.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Say were in a little midi room and he's in
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: the big room.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: He said, come on, come over here, man, molk drinks
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: light up, let's get right and.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: You know so it was cool even for him to
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: request us on his second you know it's day.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was hold up to like a club. We
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: had a show something and play this our lyrics when
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the song was done. That's hard right outside.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: So if he was a live money per respect, was
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: sound like a whole different I would I would assume.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: So I definitely would assume. So that since it's the
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: holiday season, styles, how did you get the name holiday style?
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I was born on a Thanksgiving? Okay, then I used
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: to be you know, a little stupid, so it kind
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: of reminded people of Doc College holiday. Oh okay, so
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: that bed uh born on Thanksgiving and uh a cowboy?
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: So to say, got you wild cowboy?
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I was gonna ask, you know what everybody given parts
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: of areas around New York so much flak, right, they
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: always talk about the five Boroughs. For people that's in
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Long Island, it's difficult.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: For people in.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Jersey it's difficult, But for Yonkers it's never difficult. It
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: just seems why do you think that is which you
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: mean difficult? Like like for instance, like you look at
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: an artist from Long Island on artists from upstate New York,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: they're not considered New York.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: But nobody ever said that about y'all because people always
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: confuse us to be from somewhere else.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: So it was more so like y'all ain't from Brooklyn
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: or the Bronx. And you know, I think it's your attitude.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: And shout out to our sister Mary Blache, you know
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: she kicked in the door for yon because I think
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: that kind of let people know how soulful we were
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: and what was going on. And then I think it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: just the attitudes of the artists who's made it big
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: from there, which there's a lot of big artists from
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Yonkers too, besides us. I believe Gauga's from Yonkers, elfhis
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Gerald's from Yonkers. One of the arrow Smith lead leads
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: from Yonkers. But I think just being from the place
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: gives you a certain sort of grit and like if
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: this is the Bronx across the street, that's really Mount
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Vernon's right there. But I think I think it's just
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: our grittiness. I would say, our grittiness.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And all them.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: And we did a lot of stupid things early in
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: our career. You remember, many people kind of didn't matter.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: We all was from yeah, yeah, respect what we was doing.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Like I was gonna ask that we didn't come. We
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: didn't come soft hearted and tender footed anywhere.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: You make me nervous.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Sometimes when I read your stories, I'd be like, oh boy,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: where you go? Because sometimes people pitch you off styles
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: and I'm.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Like, oh boy, please, no boy, you said that, you
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: make that sound like that up the date the old me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: That's a couple of months ago. I chill I chill out.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: You know, how did you feel about Fat Joe saying
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: he lied in about ninety five percent of his songs.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I ain't mad at you, ain't mad at him.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: What it is?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, like you said, it is entertainment. You know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear the whole thing he said like you said.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: He also said they don't come at the narrow and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and you know all these people in their movies like that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So I get it, and it shouldn't be all the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: lyrics should not be used in court and all that,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: because we all entertained. We all like making stuff up
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: here and there. You know, especially as you get older,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: it's like, come on, man, I ain't killed R.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: R and B singers is lying in ninety Absolutely country
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: singers a line. Country may be harder than rap.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You ever listen to country music, So we gotta be
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: were getting creative, like he said, we getting creative. No,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: it ain't creative right Yo, this is fire.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: Jackson five got one of the greatest Christmas album that's crazy.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I think the problem is with anything that's cultural in black.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Up brown, where it's created with that, we get put
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: on a pedal stool different than the whole world, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: it's like its own set of rules, which is really
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: sort of unfair.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: It is a fine line you have to walk being
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: an artist, but you are, at the end of the day,
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: an artist.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Like I think people seem to seem to forget that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: But I think with all of the things that happens
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: in the black and brown communities that people tend to
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: put you on a pedal stool that they want you on,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: and then when you don't live up to it, that
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: kind of upsets them.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: But it is what it is like, and people have
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: to start plain honest is. Artists are human beings, like
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I think people think.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Through all that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: They eat shit, sweat, sleep, just like you do. They
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: just famous.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: That doesn't make them more of a special person than
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: to you, the listener who's out there listening right now.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Artists is not a better human being, a more worthy
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: human being than you. They're artists, that's it. They're good
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: at the art and they're famous for it. But that
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: doesn't mean they're the next born leader of the free world.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: That doesn't mean the words they say are relevant for
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: everyone's living. That doesn't mean the things they want. You
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: gotta raise your own kid, You gotta be responsible.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: You.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: You should know what artist your kids are listening to.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: You should sit down with them, have a conversation about it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: You should sit down and have conversation with them about
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: reality and what's not reality. Because, like you said, they
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: never say anything to the to the actors, no directors.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: They never even say nothing to the record labels who
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: are putting out the artists. They never say nothing to
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: the radio stations, they never say nothing to the magazines.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: But you you're gonna hold the poor kid from the
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: ghetto responsible for trying to make it doing what he
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: knows is popular genre.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And America loves violence. The shit is built off a vinunce.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Everybody loves al Capone, John Dillon, your John Gottie that
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: they're not black.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: America loves sex and sex and violence and money. It sells.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: It's a natural thing.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: But when it comes to black, it always reverts back,
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: which is understandable because we have a right a duty
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: to take care of our community. But sometimes you gotta
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: let a person grow into that, or sometimes you got
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: a let of person not do it because that's not
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: in their heart.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: So why do you want somebody to do something that's
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: not in their heart. It's not sensible.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: I think we put too much pressure on artists to
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: be real, like to live up to their lyrics, you know.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: What I mean.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: If we just looked at it as entertainment, we wouldn't care.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: But then every now and then you get the rare
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: brothers like yourself.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, who really come from that episode?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Can we expect everybody to.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Be like that? Yeah?
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: And that's kind of you know, I think the average
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: citizen doesn't understand the inner plays of the industry. So
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: where that's where it really it gets a little confusing,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Like you know what I mean. Some people are telling
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: their stories. Some people are telling their stories when enhancements
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: on it. Some people are telling other people's stories. At
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: the end of the day, it's art and you shouldn't
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: base your life upon somebody else's art.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And let's be clear. I know, I know some of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the young people don't even want to hear what we're
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: talking right now.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: That's o G.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: That's old man Luke's talking right now, you know what
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I mean? Because they write at home, like, man, you
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: know how mucha they told us to do.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: This and that to face? So I get that, get
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: So like, come on, I get it, but just be careful,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: y'all because they watching and they listening and they're trying
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: But you ain't stupid neither. That's what I'm doing.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: We come from an error.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: This is where generational shit gets lost. You come from
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: ever where you yourself should know right from room and
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: make the decision if you want to pay the consequences
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: and repercussions to that right or room, and then you
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: make the move from there. You gotta tell you, you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: you should know what to do and what not to do.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: When I did stupid shit, I knew it was stupid
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: shit to do. I know I may have to fight,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: you know, face certain consequences, and I was with it
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: in growth and maturity to get you out of that.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: But you ain't got to act like you're not that bright.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: If you just gonna listen up to a another rapping decide,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go do the same ship.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Bro. It's you know, it's not a lot of glory
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: and gangster life. Let's just be real about it. That's
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: just high. Yeah, they high, They on third parties drug.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: It's the crack babies, babies on chemicals.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: But who's crazier though? The kids that are high are
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: y'all because y'all was doing a lot of that and
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: y'all are not y'all.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: But no influence, right, no under influence or nothing. You
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: ain't like Malone? Say that Malone, be like yo.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: The people that be on sharm.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: They was wilding in la He was doing a lot
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: of stupid stuff and he never got drunk and never
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: got high.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: So who's crazier.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: It's the it's the times, man times, and it's the
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: aggression and the things you you went with. That's why,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: as you say, I agree with you, it's important for
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: people to get some form of therapy, even if you're
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: in the hood. But dudes, therapy is what it really
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: is like. And we used to have therapy, like say,
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: coming up our selves, like they don't do this. I
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: don't think the kids would even know what we talk about.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: But we used to build. We should sit there and
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: have conversations and build and say I at least be
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: able to share our dreams and we have.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Olds with common sense, some kind of common sense.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah to say, yo, that's stupid.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: Young these you know, these kids, they don't respect the elders.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: But the elders we kind of paved the way to
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: not be respected. So it's a fifty to fifty thing, Like.
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: Now that's real, because who's like the who's the equivalent
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: of the five percenters in the hood.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Ain't no old g's telling you say or like none
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of that. Some kind of advice man, even when these
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: young boys be thissing like the old the rappers and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: all that, but like nobody in their crew stopped him
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to said, yo, dog, you don't know who this nigga is.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: You know they don't have that.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: But that's not that shows how wise they aren't either,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: because they're not respecting how time goes. If you don't
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: respect somebody's history, when it's time for your history to
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: be respected, it won't be respected. And that's the part
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: they ain't getting. They ain't really thinking. They don't drugs,
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: like you said, the.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Chemicals now was was supposed to be on the Money
• 31:58

• 32:49
  Speaker 6: you know, paying.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: People and some some other crap.
• 32:52

• 33:26
  Speaker 6: I think even rapping about what is he going to
• 33:30
