• 13:59
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, feel like in LA like South Central content,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but Compton is like it's like an iconic hood in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the entire world. Everybody gotta count you gotta just you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: can go buy a content visit or you can buy
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a Compton hat in Australia. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: is that something that do you consider that to be
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a gift or a curse because you know people might
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: not understand what that means, what all comes with that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It's it's a curse, you know what I mean, a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: gift at the same time because comptent is so wild
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you feel me in haters, you know what I mean.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And the politics, the gang violence, shit like that. So
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you can get caught up in that, you feel I'm saying,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and you can go to jail. You can be dead,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you see, and it got shot. There's a lot of
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: shit come with it. But the name is itself comped
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: in the city from Easy and Them and all that time. Man,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it's fucking straight out of content. I love it. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: gotta see it. So it's a good thing. It's a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: bad thing. Bro Let me ask you something. When you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: watch something like uh, like the like the NW a movie, right,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and that's like a movie that's like really based around
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: your area. And uh again, it's being consumed on a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: very large scale. There's white kids in England watching straight
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: out of com like you feel good and like you
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: know what, Like, look, let's be honest. Compton's the most
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: famous area in LA outside of Hollywood. It's people come
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to LA and if they're like, yo, I want to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: go to Compton, you know what that means. Right? But
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you have some people that come to Los Angeles and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this depending on who they are, they feel like they
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: just encomped because they I don't know, you be in Hollywood,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: so I want to go to the hood. That's what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get you right there. You know, everybody
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: comes to LA, they go to Hollywood, they come to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the Valley. That's all they do. They go to Lax,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to Hollywood, they do the little West Hollywood Ship, they
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: do Melrose, all that. They get back on the freeway,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: they get back on that four or five. They go
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: back to Lax to go home. The split something. I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: ain't saying nothing, but it ain't seen nothing. So let's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: talk about like what like Okay, obviously for anybody watching
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: this way from LA, the valley is not La. Hell No,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: if you from San Fernando, if you're from it's in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Sino North Hollywood. God bless you. That's not La. Hollywood
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: is not LA. What is real LA? What you gotta
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: say like like south Central? You know what I'm saying,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Like like all of the down shit Main and Broadway,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. I feel like there's just this big
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: disconnect from people who come and visit and be like, yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I was in LA, but like but were you were
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you at like Tokyo Madera in West Hollywood, Like it's
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: not the same thing. I'd say. They just say that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: shit this to be saying. The most LA you were
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: at was when you landed at La X, the suburb
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: part of it. It's crazy, right, But Nah, nigga's in
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a straight hood, Bro, they know what's happening. Who do
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you consider real friends in this rap game? Because there's
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of people we talked to earlier, there's a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: lot of associates, a lot of people you see at
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the club, you might see a playhouse whatever, But who's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: like some real homies in the rap game? For some
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: four hundred and mom and Mom, I feel like like
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I can't really say, bro, I don't want to, Like,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to just say some bullshit, bro or
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: speak on some people names and shit and it's like, oh,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: why he mentioned my name? You feel me? So that's fair.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Listen right now, you ain't got to mention everybody, but
• 17:26

  Speaker 1: I love that guy and I know that about him,
• 17:51

• 17:52
  Speaker 1: he's really tapped in and he'd be showing love. Yeah,

• 18:51
  Speaker 1: up on World Star. People in the in the fucking
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: in the in the crowd are banging their ship. Why

• 19:04
  Speaker 1: there for that shit? I want to say it was bro.

  Speaker 1: with the girl I was with. I can say that now.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That was with a little side bitch at the Celebrity theater.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And then like the promoter. You know how these promoters be.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: They put fifty local acts on charge, each of them
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: having much amount of money to get their money back.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: So the fucking why g go is going to one
• 19:31

• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like two weeks later it's on YouTube, Ygi Mustard and like,

• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I know why she had a long he had a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: hard time getting the tour money because off the rip
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: he had kind of like been involved a lot of bushit.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Not to say it like that, but we had words
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: with some with some crip guys out there, you saying,
• 19:59

• 20:03
  Speaker 1: was some dudes in the clouds just banging their ship chairs. Yes,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a type of you know what I'm talking about, the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: circular stage. Yeah, sh like this keeps rotating around, ye

• 20:21
  Speaker 1: this ship moving. We just keep seeing nigas running around,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: keep shro It's crazy. That was one of the craziest
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: shows because I remember it'd be so crazy, that's it tight.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing MUNSTERD take the laptop standing and chuck
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it at these fools, and I know that laptop staying
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the way about thirty pounds. Oh yeah, that little solid
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh shit, what the fuck just
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: happened over here? It's crazy because I feel like you
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: were fully a part of the I remember I always
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: used to tell YG. I used to tell b more
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: at this all the time, like, you know, shout out
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to YG. But man, early on in his career, the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: first four or five years, he had a real bad
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: stigma attached to him because of shit like that at shows.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: What was like the craziest situation out of town. Y'all
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: ever been a part of wherever some crazy shit, some
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: fights and whatever the fuck. Yeah, Like you're sitting shit
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: all the time, bro, And I feel like we was
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: an once said we was in Miami doing some doing
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: show and shit, and some other people got in the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: fight and we kind of in the mix of them.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: But niggas get to shoot and shit too, so it
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: was like niggas fighting throwing chair. Then now you hitting
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: bullet shields and shit. So I'm trying to look for
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the team. Makes it we all straight. But it's like
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you gotta like, you gotta pay attention on him. Man.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. Shit will pop off any
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: given moment where you ain't even involved in the shit
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: but kind of in the mix. Yeah, you know, I
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: thought what Zovia happened recently was on clubhouse. Bad Luck
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: squashed his shit with Mustard on Clubhouse. And I remember
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: being at south By Southwest in two thousand and it
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: was either thirteen or fourteen, and I don't know what happened,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: but I know some shit happened, but it felt like
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: why g had a lot of tension with it was
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: with problem. Do you remember being around that era? Yeah,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you know, like Nigga was, you know, it was a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: it was a bompa thing, compter thing, you know what
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. And niggas had words, you know what I'm saying,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And it took it went far than with the post
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: has been. But you know, people be slick talking, you
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. But niggas over that shit now.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: But I feel like that that was like a perfect
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: example of how LA street politics led into the music shit.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And it's like, Yo, if we really think about back then,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: how fire would have been to see Problem and WYG
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: work together, But do a whole fucking album together, like
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Problem had it, like both of them had some like
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they had it. You know what I'm saying. That era
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: was so legendary in LA history, like Problem had Welcome
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to molly Wood. YG had just read up like it
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: was a whole movement, and both of them from the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: same city, and it was some LA politics shit sometimes
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: gets in the way of some historical ship. Do you
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: feel like with LA the politics sometimes, because you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I just had this conversation with with Big U and Whack.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: We're talking about how sometimes the LA politics have gotten
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: in the way of some real historical shit happened in
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: hip hop, Yeah, money and all that type of yeah,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: because it might not be rapper A and rapper B
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: having a real problem with each other. It's not about that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It's about the politics and flow to run around them
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and above that, you know what I'm saying. Me being
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: an artists, I hang with a certain crew. This artist
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: hang with a certain crew, you know what I'm saying.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: So it's like they be having inter b so it's
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: looking like it's an artist thing, but we need the friends.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it ain't even about like you might not
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: even have a problem with the guy, but it's like, hey,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I might be from here and you might be from here.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So because of that, like this and this don't mesh. Yeah,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: oh you had a record with bad Luck. Yeah, we
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: fall love. I mean that's what I'm saying. We got
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: we cool, it's just it's falling out behind other ships.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well I thought it was dope, but I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: just thought it was real dope to see bad Luck
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and Uh and Mustard get on clubhouse and out. Yeah,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: because it's like we're talking about some serious eras of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: l A hip hop, Like you know, Problem might not
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: have had had and I know Problem could have signed
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: with anyone at that when when Problem was was fucking
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: lit out here, everyone offered him a deal. But like
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to think he had that whole like side of LA
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: hip hop. And then YG I mean YG we're talking
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: about now, he's one of them. I look at YG
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: like our our modern day Snoop. You know what I'm saying.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: If Kendrick is Dre, YG is Snoop, you know what
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I just think that, uh yeah, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: always thought that was like an and and what's cool
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: about that though, too is I dont feel like it
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: ever really kind of bled through the music too much,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: kind of minus it was minus ship that was said
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and spoke on here and there and certain little disc
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: songs and you know what I mean, mindus shit. But yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: for the most part, it didn't get too out of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: out of hand. So any out bomping is out. This
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: is you've been staying independent shout out to Empire. Yeah,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: why stay independent? Why I mean and and and and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: mind you you got Ice Water Records, so kind of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: give me the rundown of what's going on moving forward.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: The album is out. Yeah, I feel like I'm just
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like lining myself up to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: be a real c excuse me, a real CEO bro
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and a line other people up. So as far as
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the label deal, I feel Nigga can signed with the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: major Nu'm getta twisted. But it be ship that you
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: can't do when you used to do it, can't do
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: what you want to do when you want to do.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to drop. And it's like, Bro, I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: know what's going on in the streets, So why would
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I drop that when I'm just doing it? Because you're
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: doing it. But when I drop it on my name,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the people black slim, what you're doing like, it'd be
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: different shit when it's come another label. So being in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: dependent it's better because you got your layout. You can
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: drop whatever you want whenever you won't for me. So
• 26:06
