- 5:02Speaker 1: great representative of your culture and making sure whenever there's
- 5:05Speaker 1: any sort of just like bullshit going on, whether it's
- 5:09Speaker 1: racism or just shit going on in the news, Like
- 5:11Speaker 1: let me ask you this. On TikTok, at least five
- 5:15Speaker 1: or six times a day, I get a swipe and
- 5:17Speaker 1: I see a little Asian lady eating some wild, ill shit.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Like I will say, your people have the highest tolerance
- 5:25Speaker 1: of just eating shit. Yeah, is that a safe assumption?
- 5:29Speaker 1: They eat some crazy stuff. But that's like like the
- 5:32Speaker 1: baby duck thing is just crazy. Baby duck is crazy.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But then I also have seen some stuff like it
- 5:37Speaker 1: was like a snail of something and she's smacking and
- 5:39Speaker 1: then like the only thing I've had that's Filipino is
- 5:41Speaker 1: the little egg rolls. What are they called? The forty's
- 5:45Speaker 1: got a he's part owner of a company that does them.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But they're like they're just like egg rolls. That's all
- 5:51Speaker 1: the Filipino food. Yeah. I can't funk with the half
- 5:55Speaker 1: developed embryo. Yeah. And then like you know, I mean, yeah,
- 5:59Speaker 1: I can't a lot of that food. I'll try it,
- 6:02Speaker 1: you know, just for the sake of trying. I'm the
- 6:04Speaker 1: sake of content, yeah, And for the sake of content,
- 6:07Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I would try it anyway, even
- 6:09Speaker 1: without the content, just to say, you know, because it's
- 6:12Speaker 1: culture and you know what I'm saying. But I'm not
- 6:15Speaker 1: really you know, what is your Okay, how long have
- 6:19Speaker 1: you been in LA full time? It's been about a year.

- 6:28Speaker 1: five months. Give me your favorite restaurant in LA that
- 6:34Speaker 1: you've had that reminds you, because I feel like New
- 6:36Speaker 1: York has some of the best restaurants. I think specifically
- 6:40Speaker 1: some of the best Asian food that I've ever had
- 6:41Speaker 1: is in New York City. You have you found a
- 6:44Speaker 1: place here that reminds you of some food back home,
- 6:46Speaker 1: or that it's just kind of like your go to.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Yet it's different. The Chinese. The Asian food here is different.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And I missed New York food. I ain't gonna lie
- 6:55Speaker 1: I miss New York food, but the Asian food. Let's
- 6:57Speaker 1: talk about the Asian food. The Asian food is different
- 7:00Speaker 1: than New York. First of all, y'all in l A

- 7:07Speaker 1: I ain't see it, like maybe they got them, but
- 7:09Speaker 1: for sure, I probably just ain't going the right neighborhood.
- 7:12Speaker 1: But you know, in New York, every block you got
- 7:14Speaker 1: a staple Chinese hood spot. You know what I'm saying,
- 7:17Speaker 1: Chicken wings, fried rice with the duck sauce. You know
- 7:21Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Out here? I don't you know what

- 7:59Speaker 1: was with the fried ice. Yeah, duck sauce. That's exactly

- 9:25Speaker 1: here because I mean you obviously there was a what
- 9:28Speaker 1: we're talking about, Man, there was a huge tragedy that
- 9:30Speaker 1: happened in my right park. Yo, Bro, I was there.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I know. That's why I said I'm glad you were
- 9:34Speaker 1: here physically because you you were there. I was shaking.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I was shaking, bro that. I mean when I say
- 9:41Speaker 1: I was there, I wasn't there, Like it didn't happen
- 9:44Speaker 1: like right there in front of me. But I was
- 9:47Speaker 1: eating at a restaurant like right next to that ballroom
- 9:51Speaker 1: on Garvy and whatever, right, so whatever ballroom, I didn't
- 9:56Speaker 1: even know it was a ballroom. I was eating at
- 9:57Speaker 1: the restaurant right there. We we got out of that
- 10:01Speaker 1: restaurant at like ten fifteen, ten fifteen. We paid everything.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I walked out the door at like ten fifteen. We
- 10:08Speaker 1: got to by ten fifteen, ten eighteen. I got to
- 10:12Speaker 1: my car. The shots started going off at like ten
- 10:15Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. That's when the first police report went on,
- 10:20Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I was out there
- 10:23Speaker 1: and I didn't know. I was driving to another party.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I was driving to a party. And then when we
- 10:28Speaker 1: got to the party, the girl I was with was like, Yo,
- 10:31Speaker 1: do you see this? We were just there, we were
- 10:34Speaker 1: just here. We just left it. And I was like what.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I went in the party for like maybe ten minutes,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and she was so freaked out that she wanted to
- 10:42Speaker 1: leave right and she was, so we left. We got back.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I went home, and I'm just like, damn minutes, like minutes,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying, Like, I felt like
- 10:53Speaker 1: I escaped because I didn't know it was in the ballroom,
- 10:57Speaker 1: so at the time, I thought he was just like
- 10:59Speaker 1: shooting in the street. So I felt like I escaped that.
- 11:02Speaker 1: But then I also know, if that's going on, you're
- 11:04Speaker 1: gonna go up in there and try to No. I mean,
- 11:08Speaker 1: if it's inside, I'm not gonna run in there, But
- 11:11Speaker 1: if he's in the street shooting, I'm gonna react, bro like,
- 11:16Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm gonna react
- 11:19Speaker 1: my life, and I'm not gonna allow anybody to just
- 11:21Speaker 1: like fucking do whatever. Like I'm gonna be on the
- 11:24Speaker 1: news too. I'm gonna be on the news right along
- 11:26Speaker 1: with him. But if it's like inside somewhere, I'm not
- 11:28Speaker 1: running up there and like doing all that. But if
- 11:31Speaker 1: it's in the vicinity, like say I'm in Walmart and
- 11:33Speaker 1: somebody is doing that, and you know what I'm saying,
- 11:36Speaker 1: I have the you know, the capabilities of reacting. I'm
- 11:41Speaker 1: gonna react like because I don't know if you're gonna
- 11:43Speaker 1: turn around and shoot me or if you're gonna shoot
- 11:45Speaker 1: a kid or whatever. So you know, I felt like
- 11:49Speaker 1: I escaped that bro. I ain't gonna lie and God
- 11:52Speaker 1: wrest God, God bless those people. Man. And then there
- 11:56Speaker 1: was another one yesterday in San Francisco, right in the
- 12:00Speaker 1: Bay Area. There was another one. Another fucking Chinese dude
- 12:04Speaker 1: shoot up a bunch of Chinese dude. I don't know
- 12:06Speaker 1: what the hell is going on. I don't know what
- 12:08Speaker 1: this is, but it sounds fishy to me, man, it
- 12:10Speaker 1: sounds interest interesting. It's like it's like a sick coincidence.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Because no, no, the story is like the one in
- 12:16Speaker 1: Minor Ray Paul. He the story is do you know,
- 12:20Speaker 1: are you familiar with it? I'm not sure, Like I
- 12:22Speaker 1: saw the video of the guy getting taken down and
- 12:25Speaker 1: then obviously the guy killed himself in the white van
- 12:28Speaker 1: in Torrance, but I'm not sure, Like I don't know anything.
- 12:30Speaker 1: He went from Monterey, Paul, he shot that up, he
- 12:32Speaker 1: got in this call, he left, he drove to Ala Hambra,
- 12:37Speaker 1: another heavily Asian, another heavily Asian community, and he went
- 12:41Speaker 1: into another spot. So what I've read was that he
- 12:45Speaker 1: went to the first spot because his ex girlfriend or
- 12:49Speaker 1: whatever was in the party and he wasn't invited to
- 12:51Speaker 1: some some crazy stuff like that, right, and then he
- 12:54Speaker 1: shot it up. Then he left and he went to
- 12:56Speaker 1: Ala Hambra to shoot up another spot. But that doesn't
- 12:59Speaker 1: make sense to me, because like, if you wasn't invited
- 13:02Speaker 1: to one party and you shot it up, why you
- 13:05Speaker 1: going to another spot You wasn't invited there either, Like
- 13:07Speaker 1: what the hell? They're also very far apart, right, they're
- 13:09Speaker 1: also very fall apart. So now he goes in there,
- 13:13Speaker 1: but he get he get wrestles one of the young
- 13:16Speaker 1: people that was at the door, wrestles him for the gun.
- 13:18Speaker 1: You see it's on video. He's taking the gun from
- 13:21Speaker 1: him and taking the gun. The guys crazy shout out
- 13:23Speaker 1: to that guy, yeah, shout out to him whoever he is.
- 13:25Speaker 1: And he tries to like fight. He tried to wrestle
- 13:28Speaker 1: the gun out of him. He had an opportunity to
- 13:30Speaker 1: shoot the man too. I would have I would have
- 13:31Speaker 1: smoked the dude. You would have smoked him if i'd
- 13:33Speaker 1: have took the gun from him. And he's still trying.
- 13:35Speaker 1: I'm getting you in the leg. At least I gotta
- 13:37Speaker 1: put you down for that, right, Like better than me.
- 13:41Speaker 1: He's better than the dude was trying to picked up
- 13:42Speaker 1: a water bottle and yeah, that shit's crazy, bro. So
- 13:46Speaker 1: you were like, fuck dude, like you said, if you like,
- 13:50Speaker 1: what if you were like sitting there and you saw
- 13:52Speaker 1: a guy walking in with that gun, you'd be like
- 13:54Speaker 1: what the fuck? Like you don't know how you're going
- 13:57Speaker 1: to react in that situation, bro. I mean, I know
- 14:00Speaker 1: how IMO react. You know what I'm saying. I ain't
- 14:02Speaker 1: gonna say how I'MO react, but I would react with like, nah,
- 14:06Speaker 1: that shit fucked up, bro. That's why. That's why, you
- 14:08Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I went on my I went
- 14:10Speaker 1: on my YouTube channel and I made a video immediately,
- 14:14Speaker 1: and you know, people were saying, oh, you're trying to
- 14:16Speaker 1: profit or like get clout over that incident. But no,
- 14:19Speaker 1: absolutely not. That's not what the fuck I was trying
- 14:22Speaker 1: to do. What I was trying to do is make
- 14:23Speaker 1: a video and say, hey, everybody whoever has the ability
- 14:27Speaker 1: to get your gun license, go get that motherfucker. Like
- 14:30Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, everybody should have their gun
- 14:32Speaker 1: license if you can have it. You know what I'm saying,
- 14:35Speaker 1: Only if your sound make it a lot harder. But
- 14:40Speaker 1: but you can still make it happen. But they've made
- 14:42Speaker 1: it easier since the pandemic. Yeah, you can still make
- 14:44Speaker 1: it happen. So that's all I'm saying. Like, I went
- 14:46Speaker 1: on my YouTube channel to tell people, yo, go get
- 14:49Speaker 1: your gun license because you never know what now, Like
- 14:52Speaker 1: the world is so crazy. You could be walking in

- 16:31Speaker 1: fucking money. Let's get to it all right, boys, back
- 16:33Speaker 1: to the interview. You have had a pretty successful independent
- 16:37Speaker 1: rap career. Yeah. I spoke with Ad about this a
- 16:40Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and he was essentially saying, like, man,
- 16:43Speaker 1: this personality shit, I've made like ten times more than
- 16:46Speaker 1: I've ever made rap. Are you in that same boat?
- 16:48Speaker 1: I'm super in that boat. Yeah I was in that
- 16:51Speaker 1: boat before him, but yeah, yeah, but definitely. Yeah. I
- 16:54Speaker 1: found that's why I started doing the mac eats, and
- 16:57Speaker 1: that's why I started. That's why I fully kind of
- 16:59Speaker 1: just went that lane because it just takes too much
- 17:02Speaker 1: as a rap artist. You gotta put too much money.
- 17:05Speaker 1: You gotta do You got to invest all of the
- 17:08Speaker 1: all of that into it, and you're not sure if
- 17:11Speaker 1: you're gonna you know what I'm saying, you're gonna get
- 17:12Speaker 1: any money back, and then you might not get any
- 17:15Speaker 1: money back for a few years. Also, and if you do,
- 17:18Speaker 1: then you have to sign a deal. I mean, you
- 17:20Speaker 1: probably gotta sign a deal. And everybody's got their hands
- 17:23Speaker 1: in your pocket, you know what I'm saying. Versus this
- 17:25Speaker 1: this you don't really need to do ship. You just
- 17:27Speaker 1: try to get a computer and and you know I
- 17:30Speaker 1: look at him, it's like I feel like guys like you,
- 17:33Speaker 1: guys like ad who like have like like fans. You
- 17:37Speaker 1: guys are fucking successful artists independently, but like that music
- 17:42Speaker 1: almost was like a an investment into getting people interested
- 17:48Speaker 1: into who you are, which which makes it able, which
- 17:51Speaker 1: makes you able to go on flat and make you
- 17:53Speaker 1: able to go it and now be your own you know.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So it's just growing. It's just the growth and just
- 17:58Speaker 1: being able to re in yourself you. For me, I
- 18:01Speaker 1: think that's like as you know, that's that's a trait
- 18:04Speaker 1: that is necessary for survival in this game but any
- 18:09Speaker 1: in life. In life, Yeah, you got to be able
- 18:11Speaker 1: to reinvent yourself. I'm curious you going VLAT often? Would
- 18:14Speaker 1: you say a few times a year? Yeah? I haven't
- 18:16Speaker 1: been on vlad for a minute. But were you ever
- 18:19Speaker 1: a part of his like paying regular guest program? Yeah?
- 18:22Speaker 1: So you would get a bag for each interview? Yeah,
- 18:25Speaker 1: I always get a bag over there. Nice. Yeah, shout
- 18:28Speaker 1: out the lad man. Yeah, shout out of the lad Man.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean that's like if it works, right,
- 18:34Speaker 1: I mean, because I think a lot of people probably
- 18:35Speaker 1: give him like a bad rap but to me, it's like,
- 18:37Speaker 1: I don't know many other platforms that like monetarily cut
- 18:43Speaker 1: you in on. But he said that since he started
- 18:45Speaker 1: doing that, his ship exploded even more. He made even
- 18:49Speaker 1: more money because if it's working right, you know, like
- 18:53Speaker 1: with Boozy, Right, Yeah, every Boozy interview like goes crazy.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Come on and he clips that shit a million times,
- 18:59Speaker 1: clips it. He's the He's he started that. He's the
- 19:01Speaker 1: clip god. He's the cliff God. Shout out to, Shout
- 19:04Speaker 1: out to here's the reason why we clip him and
- 19:07Speaker 1: Joe Rogan the reason we clip our ship. Right, it
- 19:09Speaker 1: makes sense. I think who did it first? Lad, Joe?
- 19:12Speaker 1: I think Vlad did for sure. No, I think Vlad
- 19:15Speaker 1: did that for sure. Yeah, Vlad started doing he everybody
- 19:18Speaker 1: was like at first when I saw that, I was
- 19:20Speaker 1: I didn't understand, like I mean, but you know, once
- 19:23Speaker 1: I started looking at the numbers your stuff, I mean,
- 19:26Speaker 1: from my for your interviews, for my interviews, Yeah, yeah,
- 19:29Speaker 1: I mean yeah, he's the all new way. Yeah. Shout
- 19:32Speaker 1: out to Lav for that. Man. So when you're like, okay,
- 19:34Speaker 1: so what is your I'm curious just from like being
- 19:37Speaker 1: on this side of things. When you hit the road,
- 19:41Speaker 1: you decide to do with mac eats, right, Yeah, what
- 19:43Speaker 1: does your team look like? How many people are hitting
- 19:45Speaker 1: the road with you? How many cameramen do you got? Like?
- 19:47Speaker 1: What is your like setup? Like? What is your kind
- 19:49Speaker 1: of like your school? It depends where I'm going, you
- 19:52Speaker 1: know what I mean, It depends where I'm going. But usually, bro,
- 19:55Speaker 1: I'll go with my cameraman and I go with myself
- 20:00Speaker 1: from maybe one homie and you know what I'm saying
- 20:02Speaker 1: and whatever else. We need one camera every time, one
- 20:06Speaker 1: camera every time. That's what I do. One came great,
- 20:10Speaker 1: getting some great ship. Any you guys would ever fly drones?
- 20:13Speaker 1: I mean, uh we have, Yeah, we have a few episodes. Yeah. Sure.
- 20:18Speaker 1: What it's like for you is the goal to eventual?
- 20:21Speaker 1: Because I think YouTube is the new TVs when people
- 20:23Speaker 1: are like, oh, I'm making it on TV. How to
- 20:25Speaker 1: give a fuck? Right, Yeah, nobody cares about Nobody cares
- 20:28Speaker 1: about radio. Yeah respectfully as someone who's on the radio
- 20:31Speaker 1: in eighteen cities, no one gives a fuck. But for you,
- 20:37Speaker 1: what is like the Because we've seen Action Bronson do
- 20:42Speaker 1: this kind of first right with fun that's delicious, and
- 20:45Speaker 1: he's turned that into restaurants and food trucks and books
- 20:50Speaker 1: and all that, Like for you, what do you want
- 20:52Speaker 1: to take mac eats in terms of like you know,
- 20:55Speaker 1: like how do you want to scale this thing? Man?
- 20:57Speaker 1: I mean all that, Like I'm gonna do a restaurant,
- 21:00Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Do some sauces, you know
- 21:03Speaker 1: what I mean. Sauces will go crazy sauces, you know
- 21:05Speaker 1: what I mean, do different stuff like you know, I mean,
- 21:08Speaker 1: this guy's the limit, honestly, Like you know, I don't know,
- 21:11Speaker 1: I might, I might do whatever. But have you had
- 21:13Speaker 1: any offers to do any TV stuff yet? With TV stuff? Yeah,
- 21:17Speaker 1: Like I'm sure I have. Yeah, yeah, but I just
- 21:20Speaker 1: you know, turn it down. Yeah, I'm not really you
- 21:23Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, like you said, the TV
- 21:25Speaker 1: stuff is like you know, were making money on this,
- 21:27Speaker 1: Like if it's not if it's not going to be
- 21:30Speaker 1: like a super big situation or if it's not going
- 21:33Speaker 1: to be a super big bag, then why would I
- 21:35Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I think I'm waiting
- 21:38Speaker 1: for the best, for the right thing to come along. Yeah.
- 21:40Speaker 1: I feel like for you, it would make sense if
- 21:42Speaker 1: it was like a prestigious like Netflix situation, right, like
- 21:46Speaker 1: something like that because even if something that's really gonna
- 21:48Speaker 1: put me, it'll raise your profile and it'll raise your
- 21:51Speaker 1: funds in every other capacity, you know what I mean? Right? So, Okay,
- 21:55Speaker 1: so you just put up a video today about was
- 21:57Speaker 1: it today about Matt Hoffa? Yeah, well I saw so,
- 22:01Speaker 1: I don't really all I saw was I think last
- 22:03Speaker 1: week he had posted your guys's dms? Was that the case?
- 22:09Speaker 1: I mean? And then he pretty much was like, hey, guys,
- 22:12Speaker 1: if I don't hit you back, you know whatever, whatever,
- 22:15Speaker 1: But he happened to use your DMS as an example, right,
- 22:19Speaker 1: and then I mean there was more to it, But
- 22:22Speaker 1: I mean, it's all over the internet. I don't want
- 22:24Speaker 1: to keep on talking about him and beating a dead horse, right,
- 22:27Speaker 1: but I will say this, Well, you're posted a video today. No,
- 22:30Speaker 1: it was just yes, wait, it was yesterday. Okay, I
- 22:32Speaker 1: posted a video, but he me and him went live. Okay,
- 22:34Speaker 1: so after that live, I'm like, you know what I'm saying.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I don't want to keep on going on a whole
- 22:39Speaker 1: tour about it, but I will say this. I will
- 22:44Speaker 1: say this. I was fooled. You know what I mean? Okay,
- 22:50Speaker 1: you got it. I was fooled. I didn't know that
- 22:54Speaker 1: he was acting this whole time. I didn't know that
- 22:57Speaker 1: he had a costume on because that's basically what he
- 23:00Speaker 1: said on the live because I was like, oh, you're
- 23:04Speaker 1: a street dude, you know what I'm saying. And he
- 23:06Speaker 1: was I was like, Yo, street dudes ain't supposed to
- 23:08Speaker 1: have uh, somebody with somebody on the show talking about
- 23:13Speaker 1: an active murder case. You know what I'm saying. So
- 23:16Speaker 1: no street dude would do that. And he was like,
- 23:17Speaker 1: I'm not a street dude. Okay, you know what I'm saying.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And so when I met him, I met him a
- 23:23Speaker 1: while ago, you know what I mean, And I was
- 23:25Speaker 1: just under the assumption that we came from the same
- 23:28Speaker 1: cloth and came from the same like mora rules and
- 23:31Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying, the principles, like you
- 23:33Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So now now he showed himself
- 23:37Speaker 1: yesterday on the live, he said, that's not what he's
- 23:39Speaker 1: not from that and that's not what he like, that's
- 23:42Speaker 1: not he he he that's not what it is. But
- 23:45Speaker 1: when I first met him, that's what it was. That's
- 23:47Speaker 1: what he said. He was, So, you know, my bad,
- 23:51Speaker 1: I didn't know that you that he had a costume on,
- 23:55Speaker 1: and a lot of people. See, you know what it is.
- 23:58Speaker 1: People do things and they carry certain they carry certain
- 24:05Speaker 1: mora rules and principles when it's convenient for them, you
- 24:08Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. And now since it's not really
- 24:11Speaker 1: that convenient, they just take it off and they just
- 24:13Speaker 1: you know, throw call it. And also, hey, we got
- 24:16Speaker 1: to stop the interview real quick to tell you about
- 24:18Speaker 1: our family at Hard Dean. That's right, Hard Dean, Los Vegas,
- 24:22Speaker 1: the craziest dispensary in the world, the number one dispensary
- 24:25Speaker 1: in the United States, let alone in Las Vegas. All right,

- 24:32Speaker 1: to go watch the raiders suckcock, whatever it is. Make
- 24:36Speaker 1: sure you pull up to Hardean, Las Vegas. Tell them
- 24:38Speaker 1: I sent you. They got the craziest selection of premium

- 24:45Speaker 1: the cartridges, the edibles, the flower all top notch, all
- 24:50Speaker 1: the best. The bud tenders are so friendly. It smells great,

- 24:58Speaker 1: have their own Hard Deane's signature your scent candle. See
- 25:04Speaker 1: I sniffed that, and I just think of Las Vegas

- 25:21Speaker 1: I'm excited too, because coming up we're gonna be doing
- 25:23Speaker 1: our very first podcast from Harden in Vegas with Young Gravy.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's going down. All right, let's get back
- 25:31Speaker 1: to the interview. I'd like to point out this why
- 25:33Speaker 1: a sl thing has really shown that people aren't keeping
- 25:38Speaker 1: the same energy with certain artists, right, and they called
- 25:42Speaker 1: it as as well. What do you mean by that?
- 25:45Speaker 1: I mean, right, let's say the Gunna situation. Yeah right.
- 25:51Speaker 1: I'm not too privy to like all of the details
- 25:53Speaker 1: of that situation, so I don't really want to dive
- 25:55Speaker 1: into it too much. But I think that, uh, like
- 25:59Speaker 1: six or nine o he was an unlikable guy, right,
- 26:01Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were rooting against him
- 26:03Speaker 1: because he was kind of a dick when he was popping. Yeah,
- 26:05Speaker 1: people really didn't like him, right, he talks a lot
- 26:07Speaker 1: of shit, he's a dick whatever, but he snitched fair
- 26:12Speaker 1: enough and got blacklisted from playlists and shit. Now fans
- 26:17Speaker 1: can the marketplace is the marketplace, but you know, certain
- 26:20Speaker 1: there are certain industry things that you can be blacklisted
- 26:22Speaker 1: from that can sort of affect or hinder maybe your
- 26:25Speaker 1: numbers in a certain way. Right, And I just don't
- 26:28Speaker 1: think that that's gonna happen with Gunna. And I'm not
- 26:30Speaker 1: saying that they're the same at all, but it just
- 26:34Speaker 1: feels like a lot of people are kind of waiting
- 26:37Speaker 1: and seeing. Yeah, but I mean, here's the thing, that
- 26:40Speaker 1: situation is not done yet, so you don't know, like
- 26:43Speaker 1: it's not like he took the stand or anything. So
- 26:45Speaker 1: you know, but how look at Boston Richie. I just
- 26:49Speaker 1: saw ten ninety Jake put out well hold on, but
- 26:51Speaker 1: look at Boston Richie. They took Look at what Future did.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Future took all of his tour. He took him off
- 26:57Speaker 1: the tour. But not only that, he took off all
- 26:59Speaker 1: the songs he was on. He didn't He's not on
- 27:02Speaker 1: no features on the Boston Richie album. You know what
- 27:04Speaker 1: I'm saying, so it has to have some weight because
- 27:08Speaker 1: it's still you know what I mean, it's still affected
- 27:10Speaker 1: his Boston Richie was coming up. He was big, you
- 27:13Speaker 1: know what I mean. He just signed with He just
- 27:15Speaker 1: signed a record deal like last week, but that was
- 27:17Speaker 1: with with a major. I think Atlantic signed him. Was
- 27:22Speaker 1: that before, No, it was after the initial allegations came out.
- 27:27Speaker 1: And now there's this new video that came out today.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I think it's gonna regardless, I think it's gonna affect
- 27:33Speaker 1: his his It has affected his career. It has to because,
- 27:37Speaker 1: like like you said, he's one of the hottest right
- 27:39Speaker 1: so so regardless of what people might say, you know,
- 27:42Speaker 1: it's still affecting. You know what I'm saying, It's still
- 27:44Speaker 1: I just think Gun is like kind of like a
- 27:45Speaker 1: pop star. I don't know. I think if it comes
- 27:48Speaker 1: out and if there's a video of him taking a
- 27:50Speaker 1: stand and stuff, it's gonna be different, you know what
- 27:52Speaker 1: I mean. So so yeah, I don't know that's that's
- 27:55Speaker 1: six nines where that's his what he's saying. But it's
- 27:59Speaker 1: definitely affecting people. You know what I'm saying. It's affecting him,
- 28:02Speaker 1: and it's gonna affect anybody else. It's probably not affecting
- 28:05Speaker 1: to the way that it would have back in the day,
- 28:07Speaker 1: but it's still taking a toll. Like it's still you
- 28:09Speaker 1: could just go look on Boston Richie's Instagram. It's just
- 28:13Speaker 1: different now, you know what I'm saying, Like it affects
- 28:15Speaker 1: he was on fire, and he was on fire, you
- 28:17Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So you know, but what I'm
- 28:19Speaker 1: saying is is like people you know, they like like
- 28:23Speaker 1: like just people just like funk Master Flex, you know
- 28:28Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He made a post saying, oh, I'm
- 28:30Speaker 1: gonna play six non music, but he's the first. He's
- 28:32Speaker 1: the same person. Before that was like, you know, upholding
- 28:36Speaker 1: a certain standard whatever, we don't fuck with rats and
- 28:39Speaker 1: he would go on talking about it or whatever whatever.
- 28:41Speaker 1: But now it's changing. Now people are just taking it
- 28:44Speaker 1: because now it wasn't not convenient anymore. Before it was convenient.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Before it was like damn, the street people ran this
- 28:51Speaker 1: and we have to, like you know what I'm saying.
- 28:52Speaker 1: So everybody just conformed with it because it was just like, Okay,
- 28:56Speaker 1: that's the way to go, that's the wave, you know
- 28:58Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But now that the way now people
- 29:01Speaker 1: can eat without doing that. They're not conforming into it.
- 29:04Speaker 1: So it's fine. Like a person like like from Master Flex,
- 29:07Speaker 1: I don't look at him like a street dude, but
- 29:09Speaker 1: I just see okay, So why did you even conform
- 29:11Speaker 1: to it in the first place? Why did you even
- 29:13Speaker 1: you know, jacket in the first place. But now whatever,
- 29:15Speaker 1: it's nothing, nothing but a person like the one, the
- 29:18Speaker 1: person that you just said before. H he he's different,
- 29:24Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He's a person that was
- 29:26Speaker 1: punching people, like knocking people out, you know what I'm saying,
- 29:29Speaker 1: like from the streets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's like he's
- 29:32Speaker 1: like shooting at answer Rogers. He said, he don't rob people.
- 29:35Speaker 1: He's like different from that, you know what I'm saying.
- 29:38Speaker 1: So you're gonna look at him. I expected something different
- 29:43Speaker 1: and I shook his hand before, like he's somebody I know.
- 29:46Speaker 1: He came up to me when I was locked up.
- 29:48Speaker 1: He said, free China, Mack free the real ones. He
- 29:51Speaker 1: came shook my hand. Was like, was like, oh you
- 29:54Speaker 1: a real one. You know what I'm saying. We gotta
- 29:56Speaker 1: stick together, you know what I mean. So it was
- 29:58Speaker 1: a little different. You know what I'm saying. People was like, oh,
- 30:02Speaker 1: why don't you call out that? Why don't you call
- 30:04Speaker 1: out no jumper? Why don't you call out academics? First
- 30:08Speaker 1: of all, none of those people come from the streets,
- 30:10Speaker 1: so I don't expect them to do anything their platform,
- 30:14Speaker 1: and they're a different platform, different set of code, right right,
- 30:17Speaker 1: So I don't I don't expect that. He's like, oh,
- 30:19Speaker 1: the Norriega had them all, Well, I don't fuck with
- 30:23Speaker 1: that even now, you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean,
- 30:25Speaker 1: who Norriega had Troy ava on talking about whatever. But
- 30:29Speaker 1: what I'm saying is like I just you know what
- 30:31Speaker 1: I mean, it ain't personal, it ain't like them, but
- 30:33Speaker 1: it was just something I don't know. Norriega, I never
- 30:35Speaker 1: shook his hand, he never said anything to me, He
- 30:38Speaker 1: never looked me in my eyes, and we never had
- 30:39Speaker 1: a conversation. You know what I'm saying. Uh, but this
- 30:43Speaker 1: person did like we had a conversation, you know what
- 30:46Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like he shook my hand and said you
- 30:48Speaker 1: were a real one. We a real one. So all
- 30:50Speaker 1: of that. So he tried to like the the the
- 30:55Speaker 1: DMS was like, you know, he tried to say that
- 30:58Speaker 1: that's the reason, but that's not the reason. Like you
- 31:00Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I don't I don't care
- 31:02Speaker 1: if you don't do my show or if you don't
- 31:03Speaker 1: do anything, like you know what I'm saying. That's not

- 33:32Speaker 1: me ten times and I'm like, I'm just not into it.

- 33:49Speaker 1: weak man going with a race called is weak, you
- 33:51Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I understand, Like I understand
- 33:55Speaker 1: that people is like, okay, hip hop is a black
- 33:58Speaker 1: culture and I'm not I'm not taking that from the
- 34:00Speaker 1: black people. Hip hop is a Black culture. But let
- 34:03Speaker 1: me tip before, but hip hop was what hip hop
- 34:08Speaker 1: was made in New York fucking City, New York City,
- 34:11Speaker 1: the Bronx. Hip Hop is a New York culture. Before
- 34:15Speaker 1: you say any of that, hip hop is a New
- 34:17Speaker 1: York culture because we the ones. New York was the
- 34:20Speaker 1: first ones to do hip hop. It formulated in New
- 34:23Speaker 1: York City, the Bronx, the Bronx, the Boogie Down, It
- 34:28Speaker 1: came from the Bronx. You understand what I'm saying. And
- 34:30Speaker 1: I don't know where you're from if you've ever been
- 34:32Speaker 1: to New York. But New York is like this, like
- 34:35Speaker 1: everything is on. It's not like La where everything is off,
- 34:38Speaker 1: where the Asian people are here, Black people are here,
- 34:41Speaker 1: Mexican people here. No. New York is like these people
- 34:44Speaker 1: here right here, right here. Your building, You're on top
- 34:47Speaker 1: of this building. Everybody is on top of each other. Right.
- 34:50Speaker 1: So if anything when hip hop was was was made,
- 34:54Speaker 1: everybody in the vicinity was around it. This five elements
- 34:59Speaker 1: to hip hop? You all those people even comments on
- 35:02Speaker 1: my page talking about I'm a visiting hip hop. Y'all
- 35:05Speaker 1: can't even name the five elements to hip hop. That's true,
- 35:10Speaker 1: you can't. You wasn't even alive when I started listening
- 35:14Speaker 1: to the hip hop. I started listening to hip hop
- 35:17Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty seven. You were still in your daddy
- 35:22Speaker 1: nuts in nineteen eighty seven, coming on on my page
- 35:25Speaker 1: talking about I'm a visitor. But what the fuck is
- 35:28Speaker 1: you talking about? If I'm a visitor to hip hop,
- 35:31Speaker 1: that logic that you have because hip hop was made
- 35:35Speaker 1: by black people, right, and hip hop was made by
- 35:38Speaker 1: black people. Let me calm down a little bit. Hip
- 35:41Speaker 1: hop was made by black people, Okay, me being an
- 35:44Speaker 1: Asian American man born and raised in New York City
- 35:48Speaker 1: around hip hop since I was a kid in nineteen
- 35:50Speaker 1: eighty seven was the first year I was introduced to
- 35:52Speaker 1: hip hop, Right, if I'm a visit to hip hop,
- 35:55Speaker 1: being that I was born and raised and I learned
- 35:57Speaker 1: so much in hip hop and hip hop was a
- 35:59Speaker 1: part of my life, the only thing that's been a
- 36:02Speaker 1: part of my life for all those years of my life, right,
- 36:06Speaker 1: the only thing that I still have something to do
- 36:08Speaker 1: with that's still a part of my shit daily. Right,
- 36:13Speaker 1: If I'm a visit to hip hop solely because I'm
- 36:17Speaker 1: not black, then if we adopt that logic, logic, Michael
- 36:24Speaker 1: Jordan is a visitor to basketball. White people invented basketball,
- 36:34Speaker 1: So I mean you're telling me Michael Jordan is a
- 36:42Speaker 1: visitor to basketball. Lebron James a visitor to basketball. Muhammad
- 36:47Speaker 1: Ali float like a butterfly, thing like a bee, a
- 36:52Speaker 1: visitor a boxing the nerve. Imagine a white person come
- 36:58Speaker 1: out and say, man, you guys playing basketball are visitors
- 37:03Speaker 1: to basketball. It would be an absolutely absurd thing if
- 37:05Speaker 1: someone said that, for sure, that'd be a ridiculo wow wow.
- 37:10Speaker 1: But but see people be so I don't know what
- 37:13Speaker 1: people be thinking, bro. People would just be caught up
- 37:15Speaker 1: in their own thing. They don't think with logic. Let's
- 37:18Speaker 1: think with logic. We are not in where I'm not
- 37:21Speaker 1: from China, I'm not from Africa. I mean, I'm not
- 37:25Speaker 1: from China. Hip hop was made not in Africa. Hip
- 37:28Speaker 1: hop was made in New York City in America. So yes,
- 37:31Speaker 1: it was started by black people, but it's everybody in
- 37:35Speaker 1: that vicinity was affected by it immediately. It's spread like
- 37:39Speaker 1: it's spread like a disease, like it was all over.
- 37:41Speaker 1: It was hip hop was it wasn't just black people
- 37:44Speaker 1: listening to hip hop. Bro, There's five elements to it.
- 37:46Speaker 1: There was sad, there was Puerto Ricans doing doing breakdancing.
- 37:51Speaker 1: There was people doing graffiti, Asian people doing graffiti. It
- 37:54Speaker 1: was all it was. It was all types of stuff
- 37:56Speaker 1: going on, so respectfully, shut the fuck up. Well there
- 38:04Speaker 1: you have it. By the way, some of the best
- 38:06Speaker 1: DJs ever are all Asian, like the Manbert Hubert is
- 38:12Speaker 1: that guy DJ Craze. Yeah, there's some great some great
- 38:16Speaker 1: Asian DJs out there, and and and for people to
- 38:19Speaker 1: try to paint the narrative that I'm like racist, Like, Bro,
- 38:24Speaker 1: I don't have our racist bone in my body, bro,
- 38:26Speaker 1: Like I came with somebody today. You know what I'm saying, everybody,
- 38:31Speaker 1: I'm constantly with black people, like you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 38:34Speaker 1: I don't have racist I don't. I don't have those tendencies.
- 38:37Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna stand down on shit. Nobody's gonna
- 38:40Speaker 1: strip me of what I feel like is min you
- 38:43Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I'm not gonna allow that
- 38:45Speaker 1: no time, nobody. I'm not gonna do that. That's like
- 38:48Speaker 1: you me letting you take something from me. I die
- 38:50Speaker 1: before I let you take something from me. Facts. Were
- 38:53Speaker 1: gonna shoot it out before you take something from me. Facts.
- 38:56Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna do. I'm not backing down, bro.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Never is there any of the New Ship that you
- 39:03Speaker 1: funk with though as a hip hop fan, like, are
- 39:05Speaker 1: you like on some fan ship? Is there any of
- 39:07Speaker 1: the New Ship that you're like listening to, like on

- 39:40Speaker 1: like the song in the back in the background, it's
- 39:42Speaker 1: still going and he's just going over with his nonchalant
- 39:45Speaker 1: flow like I love that, you know what I mean?
- 39:47Speaker 1: Like I think he killed that. Like you know what
- 39:49Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, I saw like a d talking that
- 39:53Speaker 1: he might do some like celebrity boxing ship and he
- 39:56Speaker 1: said to somebody, Yeah, I'm damn, who are you gonna fight?
- 40:01Speaker 1: We suppose I'm supposed to fight nin a boy? Okay,
- 40:03Speaker 1: I don't see. I'm not tapped into the universe to
- 40:06Speaker 1: know who that is. Right, he's he's somebody from La
