- 2:58Speaker 2: you know, we had you know, outlets, basket all and
- 3:00Speaker 2: wrapping all of that to pull us out, but we

- 5:02Speaker 2: so you look at you know, my father died from
- 5:05Speaker 2: you know, cardio problems. My mom has you know, cardio history,
- 5:08Speaker 2: and so me as their direct link their son. I
- 5:11Speaker 2: gotta be intentional about like getting it in so you
- 5:15Speaker 2: know I'm in there before I got in there with you.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I'm still every day I'm three to five miles just
- 5:20Speaker 2: just whether I'm walking and running, I'm doing something. I'm
- 5:22Speaker 2: keeping it moving because my grandmother told me before she passed,
- 5:26Speaker 2: like you know, when you stop, when you stop moving
- 5:29Speaker 2: your body, think you you're chilling. It's over you exactly.
- 5:33Speaker 2: So it's like that. So I mean, you know, as
- 5:35Speaker 2: we and you know, we athletes, I ain't you know,
- 5:37Speaker 2: as good as your well I am.
- 5:39Speaker 1: But we've been there.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Yeah, man. But you know, you know, these days we
- 5:46Speaker 2: gotta really, we gotta really look in the mirror and
- 5:50Speaker 2: get adapted to where we are now in life. And
- 5:52Speaker 2: we got to make those make changes, you know what
- 5:54Speaker 2: I'm saying. So this is where we're at.
- 5:56Speaker 4: First day, decided to wrap, and now you pitch yourself,
- 6:01Speaker 4: still rapping, and you're still where you at twenty years later.
- 6:04Speaker 2: When I was young, man, I was just talking shit.
- 6:06Speaker 2: I thought I would I thought I would be I
- 6:07Speaker 2: never thought I would get old, you know what I'm saying. Like,
- 6:10Speaker 2: I was just young and I was going crazy. I
- 6:11Speaker 2: remember when I came in a second album, I was like,
- 6:13Speaker 2: you know, I'm twenty six, so it's the doves. You know,
- 6:17Speaker 2: you're still rapping thirty eight? Ugh, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
- 6:21Speaker 2: I'm forty six. You know what I'm saying, I'm eight
- 6:24Speaker 2: past the shit talking. So it's like, but you know what, man,
- 6:26Speaker 2: you know what makes it cool these days is to
- 6:29Speaker 2: see you know, the clips I think Malice might be
- 6:31Speaker 2: like fifty two and pushing like forty eight or something
- 6:34Speaker 2: like that. You know, whenever Whole or nas Drop Project projects,
- 6:38Speaker 2: they both they yeah, bun, they both fifty. So it's
- 6:41Speaker 2: like guys that could really do it are still doing this.
- 6:44Speaker 2: So you know, as long as it's open season on
- 6:48Speaker 2: a skills on the skill set being you know, top tier,
- 6:51Speaker 2: I feel like everybody should do it.
- 6:52Speaker 4: The state of hip hop, you know, I know me,
- 6:54Speaker 4: I look at things a lot of different ways. And
- 6:56Speaker 4: you know, even when I came out here, when I
- 6:58Speaker 4: was with Loan doing the George for a time, man,
- 7:00Speaker 4: you had a chance to talk on the phone.
- 7:01Speaker 3: About some stuff.
- 7:02Speaker 4: But the state of hip hop with the social media
- 7:05Speaker 4: and a lot of stuff is fake. You know, it's
- 7:08Speaker 4: a lot of out list that's giving false information, wrong information,
- 7:13Speaker 4: and it's kind of putting a bad image on hip
- 7:15Speaker 4: hop where it's not about you know, being the lyricist
- 7:18Speaker 4: and your craft no more. It's about all the bullshit
- 7:22Speaker 4: that's involved and they were getting famous and hip hop.
- 7:24Speaker 3: What you think about that? Now?
- 7:25Speaker 2: I used to love what I love about hip hop
- 7:27Speaker 2: and then hate what I hated, But now I kind
- 7:30Speaker 2: of just see it from everybody through everybody's lens. You
- 7:33Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. It's like, I think my favorite
- 7:36Speaker 2: new artist is probably NBA Young Boy, and I don't
- 7:38Speaker 2: listen to him all day, but I love that. You know,
- 7:42Speaker 2: a nigga like that, as young as he is, got
- 7:45Speaker 2: the fan base that he got because he is like
- 7:47Speaker 2: Tupac to these little whyans, you know what I'm saying.
- 7:50Speaker 2: You can't tell him nothing because when Tupac died, they
- 7:53Speaker 2: wasn't even born, bro right, So they don't understand what.
- 7:56Speaker 2: They don't understand it how we understand it. So if
- 7:59Speaker 2: I'm going coexists, you know with these young casts, I
- 8:02Speaker 2: gotta like walk in these shoes a little bit, you
- 8:03Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And if I run into them,
- 8:05Speaker 2: then I'm gonna bring them up to speed on where
- 8:07Speaker 2: I'm at and how to have longevity and this shit.
- 8:09Speaker 2: But I stopped like just hating on certain aspects of
- 8:12Speaker 2: hip hop just because it don't you know, just because
- 8:15Speaker 2: hip hop don't bend the block on my street every day,
- 8:18Speaker 2: don't mean that I you know, I gotta like feel
- 8:20Speaker 2: a certain way about it. So I'm just embracing everybody
- 8:22Speaker 2: and everything I've just seen this post on Instagram where
- 8:25Speaker 2: it was like, you know, like I think Kendrick's tour
- 8:28Speaker 2: was like three hundred and something million, and Drake's tour
- 8:31Speaker 2: was like three hundred something million, and Usher was three
- 8:33Speaker 2: hundred something million, and Breezy was three hundred something million,
- 8:36Speaker 2: and then Michael Jackson was like on the second row
- 8:38Speaker 2: with like one hundred and sixty five million, you know, gross,
- 8:41Speaker 2: like you know, income, and I was just like, it's
- 8:45Speaker 2: still it's still money out there to be gotten. Bro,
- 8:47Speaker 2: these brought these these dudes just like breaking Mike's records
- 8:51Speaker 2: and you know, you know Michael Jackson is to it
- 8:53Speaker 2: ain't no bigger than that. So I mean, if you
- 8:55Speaker 2: can surpass anything, then Mike has done. You know. It's
- 9:00Speaker 2: I think it's all right.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Shout Out might be favorite with the rapper Rhapsody and
- 9:05Speaker 4: Lauren Hill talk about feminism and hip hop.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yeah, feminism and hip hop. It's just funny man, because
- 9:11Speaker 2: you know we we came up. It was like you know,
- 9:14Speaker 2: Missy and uh and and like even when I was younger,
- 9:17Speaker 2: MC light and Corn Latifa and Foxy Brown, little Kim
- 9:21Speaker 2: and we we had the money love yeah, money love
- 9:24Speaker 2: for sure. We had our uh boss Lady of Raige.
- 9:28Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Uh, we had these rappers
- 9:31Speaker 2: and but we we can count them on two hands,
- 9:33Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Now, it's they everywhere.
- 9:36Speaker 3: But I think every doll it's a doll, it's dolls.
- 9:39Speaker 4: It's little dog, white right dog doll, soft dog, kitty doll,
- 9:44Speaker 4: pitbull doll, doll, doll, baby doll, doll, everything.
- 9:48Speaker 2: You know what I wish though, I wish that I
- 9:50Speaker 2: wish it was a little bit more originality with naming
- 9:53Speaker 2: yourself something. But again, we we just talked about you
- 9:57Speaker 2: just talked about you know, this generation like they see
- 10:00Speaker 2: and they just kind of like, you know, stealing car
- 10:03Speaker 2: that way, you know what I'm saying. So it's like, Okay,
- 10:06Speaker 2: he's little Wayne. Well I'm gonna be a little baby
- 10:10Speaker 2: and you know not you know not you know, shooting
- 10:14Speaker 2: at nobody. But I mean it's just like if it
- 10:16Speaker 2: ain't broke ship, you know, don't try to fix it.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's the thing what you just said. I
- 10:21Speaker 4: like about a young boy. He authentic itself exactly like nobody.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Ain't trying to fit in with nobody. And I think
- 10:27Speaker 4: that's why you're having a success, bro, because he's so authentic. Yeah,
- 10:30Speaker 4: in the world of copycats, and if you look at it,
- 10:33Speaker 4: you know, you know, on a wide scale. Man, he's
- 10:36Speaker 4: been through some ship. You know what I'm saying. He
- 10:38Speaker 4: got he got some kids too. We all talked about market.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I think he'll be a young boy. Might got all
- 10:42Speaker 2: three of us be combined. But uh, you know, but
- 10:45Speaker 2: that's like my pops. My pops was I'm like the
- 10:48Speaker 2: I'm like somewhere in the middle upper half of like
- 10:51Speaker 2: eighteen children. You know what I'm saying, a lot of
- 10:53Speaker 2: people don't know that rolling he was a boy, that
- 10:56Speaker 2: it was a dirt rock boy. He wasn't rolling picked
- 11:01Speaker 2: up more dirty he went. Man. But yeah, man, So
- 11:04Speaker 2: it's like, you know when I see the you know,
- 11:06Speaker 2: Nick Cannons and the NBA young Boy, Stefan Diggs and
- 11:10Speaker 2: all of that, Yeah, I just be feeling like, Yeah,
- 11:13Speaker 2: I could just keep on going. Man, as a man
- 11:15Speaker 2: is easy. But what where I got to be better at?
- 11:19Speaker 2: We got to be better at as men is you
- 11:22Speaker 2: got to have conversation with your woman or these women
- 11:25Speaker 2: and get out in front of you know, the bullshit
- 11:27Speaker 2: and let them know, Hey, I just want to, you know,
- 11:31Speaker 2: you know, put the seed in you. I'm trying to
- 11:33Speaker 2: like make sure that you know, my legacy is spread
- 11:35Speaker 2: out so if you come to some type of agreement,
- 11:37Speaker 2: you know, which I'm sure Nick Cannon has. I see
- 11:39Speaker 2: how Nick Cannon ten places on Christmas Boy with elaborate
- 11:43Speaker 2: photo shoots boy clean. So it's like, yeah, what we got.
- 11:48Speaker 2: And I think, you know, for both men and women,
- 11:51Speaker 2: you know, in relationships, whether it's serious or whether it's batonic,
- 11:54Speaker 2: or whether it's like just chill, you know, we just
- 11:56Speaker 2: like sneaky Lincoln whatever, you just kind of got to
- 11:58Speaker 2: get in front of it.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Man.
- 12:00Speaker 2: I remember how bad lying to people really or lying
- 12:03Speaker 2: the women really hurt. And then I understood, you know
- 12:06Speaker 2: as I got older, like if you just tell the truth, ship,
- 12:09Speaker 2: you know, your girl might be under a little bit
- 12:11Speaker 2: more understanding man. So it's like, yeah, we gotta be.
- 12:14Speaker 1: We had a deep guy on this with Kurt Franklin,
- 12:16Speaker 1: me and him dog and who was it Dion Cole, Yeah,
- 12:19Speaker 1: Dion Cole just having that conversation and big boy, big boy, Yeah,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I was it was It was dope. That was a
- 12:26Speaker 1: dope conversation.
- 12:26Speaker 3: I like that.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't be around Kurt Franklin without singing stomp
- 12:30Speaker 2: in my head. So that's what I was doing. I
- 12:32Speaker 2: was trying to talk and then like come on, but yeah, hey,
- 12:38Speaker 2: Kirk is a wonderful, wonderful human being man, even forgetting
- 12:42Speaker 2: us together. I felt like I watched a lot of them,
- 12:44Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, A lot of those uh
- 12:46Speaker 2: you know his shows, ours hit a little different, you know,
- 12:50Speaker 2: and I just felt like I was surrounded by the
- 12:52Speaker 2: realists of the realist and we had a we had
- 12:53Speaker 2: a good chat, man and that food.
- 13:00Speaker 1: You just had a chef there. Why you're talking.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Man fire.
- 13:04Speaker 4: We talked about, you know, like the state of hip hop,
- 13:06Speaker 4: but internet trolls, Like it's a lot of people that
- 13:10Speaker 4: have a lot of say so in hip hop.
- 13:12Speaker 3: That don't even wrap you know what I'm saying.
- 13:14Speaker 4: You got you got guys like academics who say things
- 13:17Speaker 4: and spill things between rappers, but at the end of
- 13:20Speaker 4: the day, you're not even a rapper, you know what
- 13:22Speaker 4: I'm saying. And it's a lot of people that have
- 13:25Speaker 4: opinion that's not proven. They haven't really done nothing. What
- 13:27Speaker 4: you think about so many people having opinions in hip
- 13:30Speaker 4: hop and they haven't done nothing in hip hop to
- 13:32Speaker 4: warrant that the opinion.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I think, you know, sometimes I just think that it's
- 13:37Speaker 2: a goofy time, like they don't A lot of this
- 13:40Speaker 2: ship ain't built on principle, right, and they don't have
- 13:42Speaker 2: to be built on no more. Again, before I get
- 13:45Speaker 2: to slandering anybody, I just gotta understand what it is.
- 13:49Speaker 2: If you understand what it is, man, and you look
- 13:50Speaker 2: at it and you be like, you know, like move around,
- 13:53Speaker 2: everybody can't be something. Yeah, but then you know, you know,
- 13:55Speaker 2: for for academics or anybody else in media that is
- 13:59Speaker 2: you know, doing that kind of like cognitive reporting and
- 14:03Speaker 2: not really you know, raised on super Street principles. You
- 14:07Speaker 2: just got to like know that ship. One day somebody
- 14:10Speaker 2: might not be with on the bullshit that you want,
- 14:13Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So it's like that's why,
- 14:15Speaker 2: that's that's what I'm saying. So it's like and it
- 14:17Speaker 2: ain't even just him, it's just it's a lot of
- 14:19Speaker 2: that going around, and it's a lot of cloud thing.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I guess that's how you climb the social ladder today today.
- 14:25Speaker 2: But it's I mean, I know for sure it's still
- 14:28Speaker 2: it's still niggas out there that will run into you
- 14:30Speaker 2: and run run you over. So I mean again, I'm
- 14:33Speaker 2: not here to tell nobody what to do. I'm just
- 14:36Speaker 2: like you know, a lot of them know not to
- 14:37Speaker 2: play with my name because it's like you know, I'm
- 14:39Speaker 2: not saying I'm uh, you know, Debo or Incredible Hope,
- 14:43Speaker 2: but we're not like it. But when I see you,
- 14:48Speaker 2: we're don't address it because I lose sleep over, not
- 14:51Speaker 2: stand in tend on how I feel. I'm not doing it.
- 14:54Speaker 2: That's not how I raised my kids, and they're not.
- 14:56Speaker 2: They're not.
- 14:56Speaker 3: They not.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I raised my men, my sons to be stand up men.
- 15:00Speaker 2: But like all the you know, all the bullshit and
- 15:02Speaker 2: all the street shit or whatever. I just tell him
- 15:04Speaker 2: to call me if I told you know, my middle

- 15:08Speaker 2: you don't. You don't engage in road rage. You know
- 15:10Speaker 2: what I'm saying. You be patient with that. If you
- 15:12Speaker 2: feel like somebody is you know, on you, and you
- 15:14Speaker 2: feel like you don't like the situation, you feel any
- 15:16Speaker 2: type of energy, y'all, just call me, bro. I'll pulled
- 15:18Speaker 2: right up on you. We don't get to it. You

- 15:22Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, with me, just don't play with me.
- 15:25Speaker 2: I'm not gonna play with you like that. I'm not
- 15:27Speaker 2: from that era. And a lot of people say, oh, man,
- 15:29Speaker 2: you know you're almost fifty years old. I don't give it,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and I could be eighty. I'm gonna see you about
- 15:33Speaker 2: the bullshit, bro. And that's just how it is. That's
- 15:35Speaker 2: how it was raised by my uncle, my daddy, my
- 15:38Speaker 2: even my mama, my mama. Anybody know my mom and
- 15:41Speaker 2: my mama's well known all throughout La man, especially you know,
- 15:44Speaker 2: growing up and being from Hoover and being tied in
- 15:46Speaker 2: the streets and being a club promoter and owning clubs
- 15:49Speaker 2: and different stuff like my mama. I watched my mam
- 15:53Speaker 2: and Dan there trying to blow my daddy's face off
- 15:55Speaker 2: broad day, So it's like, I'm not my family. Don't
- 15:57Speaker 2: play no games.
- 15:58Speaker 4: Basically, what we were saying to y'all out there is
- 16:01Speaker 4: do your homework for your report ship and stop worrying
- 16:03Speaker 4: about being first and being wrong.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Get your ship right, man? Was it?
- 16:07Speaker 4: I me the better better back in the day than
- 16:09Speaker 4: it is now. You know, like we had to source magazine.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Because I was looking. You know, you would get it
- 16:15Speaker 2: and you would be like, oho, got five mics right now,
- 16:17Speaker 2: And then when I came in, I was like, I want,
- 16:19Speaker 2: I want my five mikes. And I don't know if
- 16:21Speaker 2: I ever got five. I might have got four and
- 16:23Speaker 2: a half, but I think I would have got five
- 16:26Speaker 2: if I wasn't beefing with the owners of the magazine.
- 16:29Speaker 2: So that was like, it's like always some crazy shit
- 16:33Speaker 2: going on with me, bro, And I look back on
- 16:35Speaker 2: it and I just be like, why, little bro, Like
- 16:38Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
- 16:39Speaker 3: What was that? Though?
- 16:40Speaker 1: Not to cut you off, because I think it's athletes,
- 16:42Speaker 1: Like we're always in it so you don't have time
- 16:44Speaker 1: to kind of survey and understand what you do. But
- 16:46Speaker 1: when you kind of step back now you're at an
- 16:48Speaker 1: age now where you're not as rapping as much as
- 16:50Speaker 1: you were when you're younger, At what point did you
- 16:52Speaker 1: kind of start looking back like, damn, that was?
- 16:55Speaker 3: That was?
- 16:56Speaker 2: Damn. When I when I think about when I think
- 17:00Speaker 2: about how much how much money I missed out on,
- 17:05Speaker 2: and I think about how many corporate opportunities that I
- 17:09Speaker 2: missed out on because I couldn't. I just couldn't check
- 17:11Speaker 2: the fuck up about some gangster shit, you know what
- 17:14Speaker 2: I'm saying. And uh, But at the end of the day, man,
- 17:16Speaker 2: I love where I'm at right now, and I'm righting
- 17:20Speaker 2: not writing a lot of those wrongs. But I feel
- 17:21Speaker 2: like I'm walking into these rooms now and you know,
- 17:24Speaker 2: I'm me and forties and i'm and I'm well spoken,
- 17:27Speaker 2: well dressed, and I'm sitting down with the guys that
- 17:29Speaker 2: really you know what I'm saying, put the put them
- 17:31Speaker 2: yachts on that water, and we having, you know, bigger
- 17:33Speaker 2: conversations about bigger things. So in the next two three
- 17:38Speaker 2: years with me, you're gonna start seeing me, you know,
- 17:40Speaker 2: kind of get what's old to me.
- 17:41Speaker 1: It's funny too, because me and my homies talking, if
- 17:43Speaker 1: we're talking skill set. To me, you're one of the
- 17:46Speaker 1: greatest that ever did it. But I don't think you
- 17:48Speaker 1: And this is my question to you, is it. Do
- 17:50Speaker 1: you feel like you don't get the respect or the
- 17:53Speaker 1: love because of maybe the way you've acted towards certain
- 17:56Speaker 1: people or in certain situations.
- 17:58Speaker 4: Today today the Top three live today, I.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Feel like and I appreciate you for that, but it's
- 18:06Speaker 2: like you know, I grew up you know, doing both.
- 18:09Speaker 2: You know, my my my hoop dreams didn't lead me
- 18:11Speaker 2: to where Tyson's and BD and Gil Gills did and
- 18:15Speaker 2: those niggas I came up hooping with. So it's like
- 18:17Speaker 2: when it come to basketball, they'll tell you, y'all, Chuck
- 18:19Speaker 2: Is you know, he wanted them once, but he would
- 18:21Speaker 2: just fight get throughout the game. And you know what
- 18:23Speaker 2: I'm saying, shit like that. But you know, y'all, you
- 18:26Speaker 2: know you guys like made it to that level. And
- 18:28Speaker 2: I tell people all the time, bro, people compare like
- 18:32Speaker 2: say I watched people like try to slander your game
- 18:35Speaker 2: or your game or say you could have did this.
- 18:36Speaker 2: I'm like, you don't know who you talking to when
- 18:40Speaker 2: it comes to these basketball players, you know what I'm saying.
- 18:43Speaker 2: And so it's it's it's the same thing. Fans are fickle,
- 18:47Speaker 2: and they gonna say they're gonna do like you know,
- 18:50Speaker 2: like we said, the internety gonna follow suit.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Right.
- 18:52Speaker 2: They see the first comment and they want to be funny,
- 18:55Speaker 2: you know with that shit. But I guarantee you right,
- 18:58Speaker 2: and I say this on all these camera it's a
- 19:00Speaker 2: lot of them y'all getting real money it's like four cameras.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Now now y'all got like twelve. All the smoke, baby,
- 19:05Speaker 2: but yeah, every rapper right alive, every rapper alive, that's
- 19:11Speaker 2: one of them. Guys will tell you that I'm not
- 19:14Speaker 2: to be fucked with. And you can start at the top.
- 19:16Speaker 2: You can go from hole down to dot. You can
- 19:18Speaker 2: call Drake, you could talk to J Cole, You could
- 19:21Speaker 2: talk to anybody. Bro. You can ask NBA young boy
- 19:24Speaker 2: if you want to go that low. I cannot be
- 19:28Speaker 2: fucked with when I'm serious, bro, And anybody knows that
- 19:32Speaker 2: my does the antics get it getting the way of
- 19:36Speaker 2: my skill set, of course, but I'm a jokester. A
- 19:38Speaker 2: lot of people take it, you know, too serious. Like
- 19:41Speaker 2: I'm a comedian as well. We joke all the time,
- 19:43Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But I think that people
- 19:46Speaker 2: don't know how to you know, it might be my fault.
- 19:49Speaker 2: I don't give them an opportunity to differentiate the two.
- 19:53Speaker 2: But the thing about that is, I don't give a
- 19:55Speaker 2: shit about that. Like I wake up in the mirror
- 19:58Speaker 2: and I like, I'm gonna tell y'all both y'all my brothers, man,
- 20:00Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell y'all I'm gonna give be one hundred
- 20:02Speaker 2: percent transparent. I wake up in the mirror, Bro, I'm
- 20:04Speaker 2: in love with who I see in the mirror and
- 20:07Speaker 2: that's it. And it don't go no further than that.
- 20:09Speaker 2: So it ain't a motherfucker on earth that could tell
- 20:11Speaker 2: me nothing about me. You know what I'm saying. I
- 20:14Speaker 2: don't let my mama do it. I don't let my
- 20:16Speaker 2: kids do it. I don't let my girl do it.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I don't let nobody tell me about me. Man, you
- 20:22Speaker 2: can make a suggestion, but you're not gonna walk me
- 20:24Speaker 2: down out of my you know, out of my you
- 20:27Speaker 2: know the steps I got to be here. Bro, I'm
- 20:29Speaker 2: a wonderful human being. Bro, I'm a wonderful father, wonderful
- 20:32Speaker 2: family member. I'm one of the greatest rappers that ever
- 20:34Speaker 2: did it. And any rapper that says different, I'm gonna
- 20:37Speaker 2: I'm gonna put them in a lyrical choke hold today,
- 20:40Speaker 2: not tomorrow. We ain't backing out. I ain't doing none
- 20:44Speaker 2: of that. Hey, Hey, but you know this, Look, I'm
- 20:46Speaker 2: both of y'all. When do the rappers say I'm not
- 20:49Speaker 2: who I am? Any of them, any of them whole,
- 20:53Speaker 2: ain't gonna tell you that bro, that's the top of
- 20:55Speaker 2: the top when we're talking about somebody who's acclimated like
- 20:58Speaker 2: you know that on that level.
- 21:01Speaker 1: And that's the thing too. I mean to to kind
- 21:03Speaker 1: of cross it over to basketball with me and him.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Obviously the accolades and all the All Star appearances he
- 21:07Speaker 1: could have got for ship, but when you respect it
- 21:09Speaker 1: by your peers, it doesn't really matter what the outside
- 21:11Speaker 1: world has to say because they don't understand what it
- 21:13Speaker 1: tech to get there to begin with.
- 21:14Speaker 2: And I've seen Kobe talk about both y'all, you know
- 21:16Speaker 2: what I'm saying, And.
- 21:16Speaker 3: That's you know, one of the don't get a little
- 21:18Speaker 3: better than that to me.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I seen Kobe out his mouth talk about both y'all,
- 21:23Speaker 2: And so for me, I've seen Hole out his mouth
- 21:27Speaker 2: talk about me, hole discy, and I'm still here, you
- 21:32Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So it's like, man, I love
- 21:34Speaker 2: I love rap, I love sports, I love entertainment. I
- 21:37Speaker 2: love anything that elevates, you know, my people as a whole.
- 21:40Speaker 2: It gives us the opportunity to be better humans. Man.
- 21:43Speaker 2: And like we started, you know, fatherhood is at the
- 21:47Speaker 2: top of that list.
- 21:49Speaker 4: That's this line for us from whatever on gainst Gris.
- 21:53Speaker 4: If I ain't the best rapper from content, it's gotta
- 21:55Speaker 4: be Kendrick. And if Kendrick is the best rapper, tell
- 21:57Speaker 4: him step up and ended.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically it just goes back two minutes to
- 22:02Speaker 2: what we were just talking about, like, if I'm not
- 22:05Speaker 2: the best number one, let's get this out the way.
- 22:09Speaker 2: If you don't think you're the best at what you do,
- 22:11Speaker 2: why doing it? Why are you doing it? Who are you?
- 22:14Speaker 2: And I would never if i was Matt Barnes and
- 22:18Speaker 2: I'm on the court with Kobe, It's no way I'm
- 22:20Speaker 2: telling Kobe he's better than me, letting him think that
- 22:22Speaker 2: he's better than me. I'm not gonna go home and
- 22:24Speaker 2: look my sons in the eye and be like, yeah,
- 22:26Speaker 2: Kobe's just better than your dad. Like, who does that?
- 22:29Speaker 5: Bro?
- 22:29Speaker 2: What type of man does that? So Number one, Kendrick
- 22:33Speaker 2: came up right. I embraced him when he came up.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I helped him and Top Dog get into a better position,
- 22:41Speaker 2: whether it was you know, like I'm not taking responsibility
- 22:44Speaker 2: for their riots. Like top Dog really grinded top Dog
- 22:47Speaker 2: Entertainment out. Kendrid really wanted to be where he is
- 22:51Speaker 2: today and I knew we would get there. I was
- 22:53Speaker 2: just a help in hand, you know what I'm saying.
- 22:55Speaker 2: But so all I'm saying is that I'm the best
- 22:58Speaker 2: rapper from Compton. You know what I'm saying. And if
- 23:01Speaker 2: I'm not so, just spar with me. I'm your bro.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Just spark with me, you know what I'm saying. But
- 23:06Speaker 2: it's like I said, no rapper and I'm not threatening
- 23:09Speaker 2: nobody or saying that I'm saying. It's about rap. I'm
- 23:12Speaker 2: gonna see niggas and beat you up like it's just
- 23:14Speaker 2: and I'm not talking about Kindred. I'm talking about you
- 23:16Speaker 2: everybody on the broad scale. It's just like if you
- 23:18Speaker 2: can outrap me, outrap me because I'm here and I
- 23:22Speaker 2: know that it's just not possible because I'm not gonna
- 23:26Speaker 2: stop until I see quote unquote blood. You know on
- 23:31Speaker 2: the microphone.
- 23:32Speaker 3: People are scared of confidence.
- 23:34Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are so not you know,
- 23:36Speaker 4: just don't have confidence in themselves. When they see somebody
- 23:39Speaker 4: with confidence is like it offends them, you know what
- 23:42Speaker 4: I mean. And you know I see that a lot
- 23:45Speaker 4: and you just being yourself, you know what I mean.
- 23:47Speaker 4: And that's sucks because the people that don't have confidence.
- 23:50Speaker 4: They be the main ones talking about you and they
- 23:53Speaker 4: can't do what you do.
- 23:54Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying that, And.
- 23:55Speaker 4: It's that so many people, it's so many people that
- 23:58Speaker 4: that happened achieve that goes. Then people that have a
- 24:00Speaker 4: chief they go so they sat around and just point
- 24:02Speaker 4: things their insecurities on you exactly. They can't do it
- 24:05Speaker 4: exactly exactly.
- 24:07Speaker 2: And that's everything that and you know what, that's what
- 24:09Speaker 2: that's what the what the Internet comments section is somebody
- 24:13Speaker 2: in the matter, in the bottom of their mama basement
- 24:16Speaker 2: who can't climb up the stairs and let the sun
- 24:20Speaker 2: shine on them or be great. And so you know,
- 24:22Speaker 2: they try their best to tell you down. So it's
- 24:24Speaker 2: on you if you want to go down there and
- 24:26Speaker 2: with them, with them and around.
- 24:33Speaker 1: I thinking about Brandip, like when I'm choosing my words,
- 24:36Speaker 1: he said you may want to edit this, I'm like.

- 29:23Speaker 2: got I got my bucket list, man, I got my
- 29:27Speaker 2: bucket list. But yeah, I always want to do a
- 29:29Speaker 2: Drama tape. And it's funny because sometimes you have friends
- 29:32Speaker 2: in the industry and and out the industry, but you
- 29:35Speaker 2: never really get to work with them. And so me
- 29:37Speaker 2: and Drama always said that if the opportunity presented itself
- 29:40Speaker 2: before we were both done, that you know, we would
- 29:43Speaker 2: get it in. So we did, man, And it's like,
- 29:45Speaker 2: Drama ain't really dropping tapes every day, you know, he
- 29:47Speaker 2: getting money from all of it. Yeah, because you're getting money.
- 29:52Speaker 1: A couple of years ago.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so he hes not doing a lot.
- 29:57Speaker 2: So I was grateful that he was just open to it.
- 30:00Speaker 2: And he as soon as I sent it, you know,
- 30:02Speaker 2: he did his thing and sent it back, and then
- 30:03Speaker 2: I sent him another one. He was like, we're going again.
- 30:05Speaker 2: I'm like yeah, And so he sent that back and yeah,
- 30:08Speaker 2: we just threw it out man, and people people love
- 30:10Speaker 2: the mixtape.
- 30:10Speaker 3: That's dope.
- 30:11Speaker 1: So the documentary three is loading when you sit here
- 30:15Speaker 1: again and Jack kind of asked us, but twenty years
- 30:18Speaker 1: ago you dropped your first project. Yeah, to think you're
- 30:22Speaker 1: still here as a as a rapper, as a man,
- 30:25Speaker 1: and you.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Didn't have been in a lot of shit. Bro.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I mean, what do you when you look
- 30:28Speaker 1: back on those twenty with what comes to mind?
- 30:30Speaker 2: Second time? Been answer this question? And like, I don't
- 30:32Speaker 2: know the last few years when I was at when
- 30:35Speaker 2: I was young, man, I had my I had my
- 30:38Speaker 2: first son, right, and I loved him to death, man.
- 30:40Speaker 2: And then I had my second son. I loved him
- 30:42Speaker 2: to death. But I was coming outside every day trying
- 30:44Speaker 2: to die, to be honest, like I just I didn't care.
- 30:47Speaker 2: I'm from I'm from I'm from a family, and I'm
- 30:50Speaker 2: from a neighborhood, and I'm from a city where the
- 30:52Speaker 2: inevitable is that you die on this type of time.
- 30:55Speaker 2: And so I really it's hard for me to get
- 30:58Speaker 2: people to understand the seriousness of what I'm saying when
- 31:01Speaker 2: I'm what I'm saying and shit, But I understand life
- 31:04Speaker 2: in total right, so I know that no one leaves
- 31:08Speaker 2: here alive, right, So I didn't care at that time.
- 31:11Speaker 2: I didn't care when it was Tuesday, Thursday, next week,
- 31:14Speaker 2: I didn't care. And so I'm always going to go
- 31:16Speaker 2: to the max. And it was like that with you know,
- 31:18Speaker 2: my siblings, my brothers, they knew like I got older brothers,
- 31:21Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, and you know, they taught
- 31:23Speaker 2: me the way. But once I came of age, everybody
- 31:26Speaker 2: run a neighborhood and know if you came to get me,
- 31:28Speaker 2: it was like it was lights out. It was serious
- 31:29Speaker 2: because I'm coming around there and I'm like ultimately tripping
- 31:33Speaker 2: because I had lost you know, my you know, my
- 31:36Speaker 2: my one of my favorite siblings, which was my brother Javon,
- 31:39Speaker 2: when I was thirteen, he was sixteen. And from then
- 31:41Speaker 2: I was just like, oh okay, people people, people kill
- 31:44Speaker 2: it like this shit seriously, like y'all take y'all taking
- 31:47Speaker 2: from me. I want to take something back. And that's
- 31:49Speaker 2: just the mentality of you know, lost souls when you
- 31:52Speaker 2: come from a you know, the type of family dynamic
- 31:54Speaker 2: where you know your mom is working and she ain't
- 31:56Speaker 2: really there emotionally, but she I had guest jeans and
- 32:01Speaker 2: Jordan's but my mom wasn't with that I love you
- 32:04Speaker 2: every single day. But my dad told me I love
- 32:06Speaker 2: you every single day, but it was behind the glass,
- 32:08Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying in the pans, So it's
- 32:10Speaker 2: like I didn't and my brothers was already like off
- 32:12Speaker 2: in the streets. One was a crib, one was a blood.
- 32:14Speaker 2: They was just running, you know, off and running with
- 32:16Speaker 2: the gang banging. So it's like I just I fell
- 32:19Speaker 2: into it, you know, I just rolled into it like
- 32:21Speaker 2: how I was supposed to. I got tired of getting
- 32:23Speaker 2: banged on. And I'm from an era in Compton where
- 32:27Speaker 2: I was. I can remember vividly walking to school in
- 32:29Speaker 2: the second grade, except this is seven years old and
- 32:33Speaker 2: a nigga that was like nineteen. It's like where you from,
- 32:35Speaker 2: little nigga, and I'd be like, nigga, fuck you, like
- 32:41Speaker 2: literally that's how it used to be. And I used
- 32:43Speaker 2: to walk a mile to school with my with my
- 32:45Speaker 2: five year old sister. Bro, Like I'm from those times.
- 32:47Speaker 2: I wouldn't even let my fist year old daughter walk
- 32:50Speaker 2: down the street in Santa Monica the school, you know
- 32:52Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So it was just it's just a
- 32:53Speaker 2: different time, man, And people, you know, they'll watch this
- 32:56Speaker 2: and they just don't understand ere are we from?
- 33:00Speaker 1: Well the documentary three have any production from any big
- 33:04Speaker 1: people you've worked with in the past.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Or you know what I tapped into, uh, you know,
- 33:09Speaker 2: Timberland and Swizz and Mike and Keys. They man too.
- 33:12Speaker 2: They are dynamic duo. Bro, they don't have no type
- 33:16Speaker 2: of were just gonna do this our set. They just like, man,
- 33:18Speaker 2: let's make the best album possible. And you know they
- 33:22Speaker 2: you know, they did Nipsey's you know, Grammy uh winn
- 33:25Speaker 2: an album and they just they got Nipsey just is
- 33:28Speaker 2: putting out another album and they got you know, production
- 33:31Speaker 2: on there and their problem, Bro, who is really the
- 33:35Speaker 2: unspoken hero behind what we're doing. Man, it's just dope
- 33:39Speaker 2: to be able to work with him. A lot of
- 33:40Speaker 2: people don't know the problem is one of the most
- 33:43Speaker 2: smart behind the scenes, in front of the scenes lyric lyrically,
- 33:49Speaker 2: He's just dope, bro. Get out there too, yeah, man, Yeah,
- 33:54Speaker 2: he trying to pull me out there, man like man.
- 33:56Speaker 3: You know set nasty.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Man just literally getting Oh that's it. The two things
- 34:03Speaker 1: don't work together.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Little and old.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Be in the gym at the four in the morning though,
- 34:10Speaker 1: getting it there. So Drake is Drake still the most
- 34:13Speaker 1: powerful artist in hip hop?
- 34:14Speaker 2: Yeah? I feel I feel like Drake is the most
- 34:16Speaker 2: powerful artists in hip hop. The reason being, and it's
- 34:19Speaker 2: not to knock you know, anything to Kendrick that I
- 34:21Speaker 2: think Kendrick is doing amazing, bro, Like he just uh
- 34:25Speaker 2: topple jay Z for the most Grammys. That that is
- 34:28Speaker 2: the fake that nobody else, obviously nobody else has been
- 34:31Speaker 2: able to do. To have twenty six Grammys is a
- 34:35Speaker 2: serious accolade, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, but Drake,
- 34:39Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like Drake, you can't lose bro
- 34:42Speaker 2: He Broke, Beatles, Wreckers, Michael Jackson. He been Drake for
- 34:46Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how long man. Women
- 34:48Speaker 2: love him. We gonna ride to it because it's smooth.
- 34:50Speaker 2: And so I'm anticipating that album like I just anticipated Cole.
- 34:54Speaker 2: I'm anticipating what Kendrick does next. I think Baby King
- 34:58Speaker 2: about to drop. I'm I'm gonna run Jae to that
- 35:00Speaker 2: review that I'm just I think hip hop is dope.
- 35:03Speaker 2: And and there was never a point where I thought
- 35:05Speaker 2: that if J. Cole saw Kendrick, they would square up,
- 35:08Speaker 2: Kendrick saw Drake, they would square up, or if Drake
- 35:11Speaker 2: saw J. Cole they were square up. So I was
- 35:13Speaker 2: just really in tune with the hip hop aspect of it.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I wanted everybody to spar it out because you want
- 35:19Speaker 2: to see you know if that's the Big three, I
- 35:21Speaker 2: want to see y'all big three it out, you know
- 35:23Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So I was a little hurt when
- 35:25Speaker 2: Cole backed out, but then he put out the album.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I liked the album.
- 35:27Speaker 1: You did a breakdown on your ig not through Have
- 35:29Speaker 1: you been doing that for a minute, just kind of.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Like Cole's album is the first time I ever did
- 35:34Speaker 2: that publicly, But I think that's something. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 35:37Speaker 2: I've been doing I do it. I do it the
- 35:38Speaker 2: same way. I listened as a fan. I listened as
- 35:41Speaker 2: a hater, and then I listened as the game. And
- 35:43Speaker 2: that's the only way that Yeah, that's the only way
- 35:45Speaker 2: that I'm going to be.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Niggas here can admit that.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Yeah, you right, that's the side you leave.
- 35:52Speaker 2: Yeah, but see a lot of people just listen to
- 35:54Speaker 2: it one way. Fans listen to it as a fan,
- 35:57Speaker 2: so they gonna dit right all the way. I'll tell you,
- 35:59Speaker 2: just no flaws. I hate it. Gonna be like, ah,
- 36:00Speaker 2: that ship trash. They're gonna listen to it all and
- 36:03Speaker 2: call it trash no matter what they hear, you know
- 36:05Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But when you're an artist, you know
- 36:07Speaker 2: you have a different. It's different here, you know, you
- 36:09Speaker 2: have a different perspective. So I like to listen to
- 36:11Speaker 2: it three times and then give it a break for
- 36:14Speaker 2: a week and then come back one last fourth time,
- 36:16Speaker 2: just to make sure that I ain't do the wrong thing.
- 36:19Speaker 2: So yeah, man, I gave Coles albums spinning. It's a
- 36:21Speaker 2: lot of dope elements. Me personally, I would have put
- 36:24Speaker 2: this there, move shit around, but like, it ain't my
- 36:26Speaker 2: fucking album. And he could do the same thing when
- 36:28Speaker 2: I dropped the DOC three. But it's just all like,
- 36:31Speaker 2: you know how you feel about your project. So it
- 36:34Speaker 2: was dope to be able to do that for Cold.
- 36:35Speaker 2: I think the next album I'm excited to do that
- 36:38Speaker 2: for is Baby King and then Iceman. So I hope
- 36:42Speaker 2: you know I want Drizzy to be his best Drizzy.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Because I think I just got some type of feeling.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Man, yeah, Ice, well.
- 36:49Speaker 3: He waiting, Man, he's not playing.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Yeah, man got too.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah you gotta go yeah, shout out back was.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine getting paid from backwards now.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Man, listen, man, you gotta do is you gotta tell
- 37:06Speaker 3: me you're paying me?
- 37:07Speaker 2: And I got shout out king, Paul, tell me, just
- 37:10Speaker 2: tell me.
- 37:11Speaker 3: I got you shout out backwards again.
- 37:13Speaker 2: King Paul, what's up with y'all?
- 37:15Speaker 1: Who to talk to him?
- 37:16Speaker 3: Gonna see it?
- 37:17Speaker 2: Yeah? Those my guys, man, the super Bowl?
- 37:22Speaker 3: What I'm smoking? By the way, you get this money

- 37:41Speaker 3: shout out Steeze the smoke.
- 37:44Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie man, Seve Steeze's seeing the young
- 37:46Speaker 2: game do.
- 37:47Speaker 1: What he do?
- 37:47Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember them boys pulled up what I pulled out?
- 38:00Speaker 3: Shit ease?
- 38:02Speaker 2: He was like shit.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Super Bowl coming back to LA in twenty eight, No,
- 38:08Speaker 1: actually twenty seven right and reportedly jay Z last year
- 38:11Speaker 1: of his contract with the NFL. Obviously there was mixed feelings.
- 38:15Speaker 1: I never I don't know if I heard what you
- 38:17Speaker 1: thought about it, but obviously you not being included in
- 38:20Speaker 1: Dre's run a couple of years ago. What are your
- 38:23Speaker 1: thoughts on that and has it changed it all? Because
- 38:26Speaker 1: you also saw Wheezy didn't get a chance to perform
- 38:28Speaker 1: in New Orleans. What is your thoughts kind of where
- 38:30Speaker 1: that stands and what is your motivation coming into next
- 38:33Speaker 1: super Bowl, that's up.
- 38:35Speaker 3: That thought that that's up.
- 38:36Speaker 2: I feel like super Bowls and halftime performances in certain
- 38:41Speaker 2: cities should represent and represent for those artists who made
- 38:46Speaker 2: those cities, you know, like Pop on and on and
- 38:49Speaker 2: if we're talking about you know, jay Z, you know,
- 38:51Speaker 2: running it, but I'm not jay Z, and I had
- 38:53Speaker 2: to I had to put myself in his shoes, and
- 38:55Speaker 2: then I had to put myself in Dre's shoes and
- 38:57Speaker 2: be you know a little bit more adote about it
- 39:01Speaker 2: and just say, hey, man, this is what they want
- 39:03Speaker 2: to do. I feel like, you know, I feel like
- 39:04Speaker 2: myself yg like a few others should have been included
- 39:08Speaker 2: in that. But you know, uh M was there not
- 39:11Speaker 2: to slight him. You know, Queen Mary j was there,
- 39:13Speaker 2: not to slight her. And you know, of course Dog
- 39:16Speaker 2: and Dre was there, and Kendrick was there. But I
- 39:18Speaker 2: felt like it's la you know what I'm saying. I
- 39:21Speaker 2: know for sure that they're not gonna put you know,
- 39:24Speaker 2: if they do one in New York, you know's gonna
- 39:27Speaker 2: be like, look, we're gonna do Nas the Fat Joe
- 39:29Speaker 2: and you know, blah blah blah. But yeah, man, I
- 39:32Speaker 2: just you know, at the end of the day. Man,
- 39:34Speaker 2: I just watched Bad Bunny.
- 39:35Speaker 3: Do his thing. Oi Oi.
- 39:36Speaker 2: You know I heard a thousand olays that I appreciated it. Man.
- 39:40Speaker 2: So yeah, man, I'm just in a bag where man,
- 39:42Speaker 2: I I'm enjoying my life and I'm watching other people
- 39:45Speaker 2: enjoy their as well.
- 39:46Speaker 4: If you had a decision besides yourself, who would you
- 39:50Speaker 4: like to see perform the Super Bowl?
- 39:52Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 39:52Speaker 2: Chris Brown. Chris Who don't want to see a back flipping,
- 39:56Speaker 2: light skinned flying through the clouds. Maybe it gotta be brazy, man,
- 40:01Speaker 2: I want to see Chris Brown. Because we're talking about performers.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I put him up there with Michael Jackson every single time,
- 40:08Speaker 2: and people sometimes like, oh, you'll never be Michael jack nigga,
- 40:10Speaker 2: Like it's one of those people you said, the nigga
- 40:13Speaker 2: you can't moonwalk telling Chris Brown what he can be.
- 40:15Speaker 2: But Chris, he don't like the He's like, I'm a
- 40:18Speaker 2: fan of Michael and I appreciate it, but I'm Chris
- 40:20Speaker 2: Brown and I love that too. But for me, nigga,

- 40:25Speaker 2: all grew up to Mike, you know, he the king
- 40:27Speaker 2: of pop and then Chris gotta be like right there

- 40:33Speaker 2: ever watch Chris Brown perform, right and he and he
- 40:36Speaker 2: in his mid thirties now he's still doing the backflips
- 40:40Speaker 2: and doing the same shit. Yeah, yeah, and he can
- 40:44Speaker 2: who I ain't you know, I ain't never seen Aaron Hall.
- 40:49Speaker 2: I don't want to smoke big dumb.
- 40:51Speaker 1: L Russell, someone we had on the show a while ago.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Really behind the scenes, independent hustling, built his audience, just
- 40:58Speaker 1: signed a rock nation, kind of changing the game in
- 41:02Speaker 1: the streaming area.
- 41:03Speaker 3: What do you thought?
- 41:03Speaker 1: What have you liked about what you've seen him do,
- 41:06Speaker 1: not only on the music side, but on the business side.
- 41:08Speaker 2: I look at it like this. You could have your
- 41:11Speaker 2: barbecue truck in the hood, right, everybody know you got
- 41:14Speaker 2: the fire barbecue. It's stack Jack five barbecue. Everybody in
- 41:18Speaker 2: the hood love a barbecue. And you come to a
- 41:21Speaker 2: point where, you know, Walmart is like, hey, man, we

- 41:47Speaker 2: in his backyard and he put on and showed you
- 41:50Speaker 2: show other artists how to be independent, and I think
- 41:52Speaker 2: that's worth something. And I think he went to get that.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Anybody know what type of deal or what type I
- 41:57Speaker 1: heard his distribution, but I don't really know that for
- 42:00Speaker 1: conceeds of it. Yeah, well, because you remember the first
- 42:03Speaker 1: time he said Jay came with some bullshit.
- 42:05Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Oh no, some of all.
- 42:07Speaker 1: I mean rock Nation came with some bullshit. So you
- 42:10Speaker 1: know this time, I mean, he had all the power
- 42:12Speaker 1: in the world because he had his analytics behind him.

- 45:29Speaker 3: Man AI and music AI artists.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Hey, before we get to that, let me ask y'all question. Yeah,
- 45:35Speaker 2: I know, yeah, how y'all feel about being college athletes
- 45:40Speaker 2: and going through the struggle and then niggas getting these
- 45:43Speaker 2: nil deals in college before they even hit the game, man,
- 45:46Speaker 2: and then so then when they get drafted, it's kind
- 45:49Speaker 2: of you know, these kids.
- 45:50Speaker 1: They take their foot off the gas. Yeah yeah, I
- 45:53Speaker 1: think Jack went to the league, set the league, But
- 45:56Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I was an All American
- 45:57Speaker 1: in two sports and I couldn't imagine what kind of
- 45:59Speaker 1: money I used to get the me and Ray used
- 46:01Speaker 1: to get the twenty five hundred perl graand you couldn't
- 46:03Speaker 1: tell us shit. That shit was gone in three days
- 46:05Speaker 1: two days in the West World. Yeah, but I just
- 46:08Speaker 1: feel like it, you know. And I'm not mad because
- 46:09Speaker 1: we've always wanted players to get money. But to me,
- 46:11Speaker 1: when you're getting these five hundred or two fifty five
- 46:14Speaker 1: hundred million, couple million, like, it's only natural to take
- 46:18Speaker 1: your foot off the gas at a young age, like
- 46:20Speaker 1: because pros take their foot off the gas when they
- 46:22Speaker 1: get paid. So to me, it's just like, I just
- 46:24Speaker 1: wish more shit would come with that money, more education,
- 46:27Speaker 1: more structure, more understanding of yeah whatever, you get half
- 46:30Speaker 1: of that as old back next year.
- 46:31Speaker 3: I just think that it's too much of the Wild West.
- 46:34Speaker 1: But I don't have as much issue with the money
- 46:36Speaker 1: as I do with the age of these motherfuckers that
- 46:38Speaker 1: are trying to play college basketball. You think a twenty
- 46:40Speaker 1: six year old, twenty six, twenty seven years old motherfuckers
- 46:45Speaker 1: gonna make it bro They went, but they went pro
- 46:48Speaker 1: and now they're trying to come back to college. And
- 46:50Speaker 1: let's saying that because you have sons. Yeah, I'm saying
- 46:51Speaker 1: that because I have sons. But it's just I don't
- 46:53Speaker 1: want to see now. If I want to see a
- 46:54Speaker 1: twenty seven year old nigga that could barely play, I'll
- 46:56Speaker 1: go to the pick up play back pick up basketball
- 46:58Speaker 1: that the la.

- 55:27Speaker 2: we needed Luca in La because the Laker's be doing
- 55:30Speaker 2: some bullshit. Sometimes they make a move we don't need
- 55:33Speaker 2: to make. But I appreciate watching Luca do his thing.
- 55:37Speaker 3: Man.
- 55:37Speaker 2: If anything, I like how you rolled up to the
- 55:39Speaker 2: first game, man in the old school, with that back.
- 55:42Speaker 3: Door to the you know what I'm saying, Yeah, you
- 55:46Speaker 3: have relationship with Elijah.
- 55:48Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's my dog man. Yeah man, yeah, my boy,
- 55:52Speaker 2: my boy trap.
- 55:53Speaker 3: Man.
- 55:53Speaker 2: He put me with Elijah, and Elijah is a great talent.
- 55:57Speaker 4: Man.
- 55:57Speaker 2: I just talked to him like a few days ago
- 55:59Speaker 2: and saying, I didn't, you know, turn the tide for
- 56:02Speaker 2: my young brother. But no, I told him, man, I said,
- 56:04Speaker 2: you got to relax and let the game come to you.
- 56:06Speaker 2: I'll say, you just got there, you know, yes. And
- 56:10Speaker 2: I like to think a few of my words is
- 56:12Speaker 2: you know why you drop doing his thing?
- 56:15Speaker 1: But I think it's dope for us to be able
- 56:17Speaker 1: to be in a position where at any time we
- 56:20Speaker 1: can give each other's kids the game yet to tell
- 56:24Speaker 1: me we can say the same ship and he could
- 56:27Speaker 1: say it's a register, you know what I mean. So
- 56:29Speaker 1: to be able to have that kind of circle where
- 56:30Speaker 1: Elijah can reach, you know, because I talked to him
- 56:32Speaker 1: not too long ago. And to have a circle where
- 56:35Speaker 1: that your fathers, that the fathers have built, where we
- 56:37Speaker 1: can pour back into these kids, whether they are our
- 56:39Speaker 1: kids or not, I think that's really important.
- 56:40Speaker 2: And then Gil, you know Gil's want Gil special. They
- 56:44Speaker 2: got love Man, that's my dog man. But he, you know,
