Speaker 3: What's good?
0:13
Speaker 1: Bro?
0:14
Speaker 3: Welcome, Nice to meet you, likewise, bro to meet you.
0:16
Speaker 3: It's crazy because when you started, like your career, I
0:20
Speaker 3: feel like it was around the time I was like
0:21
Speaker 3: interning at the radio station, so like you're and like
0:25
Speaker 3: when I first started like DJ and the club and yeah,
0:28
Speaker 3: so like you you know, like a bay bays and
0:31
Speaker 3: and make it clap and all that, it was very
0:34
Speaker 3: like instrumental and like I like remember where I was
0:37
Speaker 3: in life for them songs.
0:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. A lot of people say that,
0:40
Speaker 1: they say my music bring them back to exactly what
0:43
Speaker 1: they was doing when I first came out. You know,
0:45
Speaker 1: it's it really marked a special time right in people lives.
0:49
Speaker 1: You know, like a lot of people kids first words
0:51
Speaker 1: was so crazy, you know, it's it's a blessing.
0:56
Speaker 3: I gotta ask you, uh, I saw you, I saw
0:58
Speaker 3: you share your thoughts a little bit about this. But
1:00
Speaker 3: you know, there's been a lot of people who are
1:02
Speaker 3: upset that Lil Wayne did not get to look for
1:04
Speaker 3: the halftime show in New Orleans. Obviously, you know you're
1:08
Speaker 3: in Louisiana. What are your thoughts on on Wayne getting
1:12
Speaker 3: that snub and obviously shot to Kendrick. I think, obviously,
1:15
Speaker 3: if anybody deserves to do a halftime show, Kendrick's one
1:18
Speaker 3: of them.
1:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, with Kendrick heavy, like for sure, they're real golden.
1:24
Speaker 1: But it's a bigger play at hand right now. What's
1:27
Speaker 1: happening is a lot of big entities in large companies
1:33
Speaker 1: are finding places that they can profit and make high
1:36
Speaker 1: profit margins, and they pretend to cater to the community
1:45
Speaker 1: just enough to get the support they need, and then
1:50
Speaker 1: they go with their hitting agenda, which is to make
1:53
Speaker 1: ultimately the most money they can possibly make. So it's
1:56
Speaker 1: a bigger play at hand. In Louisiana, it's always it's
2:00
Speaker 1: been a place that didn't have a lot of resources.
2:03
Speaker 1: So if anybody came from upstate or out of town
2:07
Speaker 1: with a lot of resources, they was kind of able
2:10
Speaker 1: to throw their weight around and and you know, like
2:14
Speaker 1: you know, like put themselves in in positions. So it's
2:18
Speaker 1: it's it's really a bigger player. And we getting to
2:21
Speaker 1: a point in time now where people don't like to
2:25
Speaker 1: pay homage. You got youngsters who say, oh geez right right,
2:31
Speaker 1: like so you got you got a whole new era
2:34
Speaker 1: of disrespect that's coming into play. And it's the same
2:38
Speaker 1: thing in the industry. People have begun to just feel
2:42
Speaker 1: like it's cool to not pay hummage. It's cool to
2:44
Speaker 1: not you know, to to pay their respects that need
2:47
Speaker 1: to be paid. So that's the big thing that I see.
2:51
Speaker 1: I'm not just mad that Wayne ain't get to perform,
2:54
Speaker 1: because let's just be honest, like, you know what I'm saying,
2:57
Speaker 1: it's a it's it's it's it's it's a law much
3:00
Speaker 1: movie that I'm looking at. And this is gonna continue
3:03
Speaker 1: to happen. It ain't just gonna be what's happening in Shreeport.
3:06
Speaker 1: It ain't just gonna be what happened in New Orleans.
3:08
Speaker 1: If we don't stand up and and and and demand
3:11
Speaker 1: that people respect our culture and demand what we want,
3:16
Speaker 1: then we'll never get it. It's the same thing that
3:19
Speaker 1: that that that every other status learned how to do
3:23
Speaker 1: California know how to do it. If you come to Cali,
3:25
Speaker 1: Cali gonna make sure you do some type of catering
3:28
Speaker 1: to Cali or you won't really be accepted, you know
3:31
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
3:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when the Super Bowl was here, obviously
3:33
Speaker 3: doctor Dre had the halftime show and he was able
3:36
Speaker 3: to bring out kind of like parts of his tree,
3:38
Speaker 3: you know, right r.
3:40
Speaker 1: But the people in position in Louisiana. L. Kendrick came
3:43
Speaker 1: out that the problem is the people in position in
3:46
Speaker 1: Louisiana that that make the decisions instead of instead of
3:50
Speaker 1: loving a culture and and and and embracing their culture,
3:54
Speaker 1: they so they're trying to get relationships with with people
3:58
Speaker 1: in places that they've never been to. So it's leading
4:01
Speaker 1: to them looking over their own people that's right there
4:03
Speaker 1: and honoring people that never done nothing for certain communities,
4:08
Speaker 1: which is not their fault. It's not my fault that
4:11
Speaker 1: somebody choose to honor me in your community. But what
4:14
Speaker 1: we got to do as a people as a whole
4:18
Speaker 1: is make sure that we hold those responsible accountable the people.
4:22
Speaker 1: When I go to do the Super Bowl, I'm talking
4:24
Speaker 1: to somebody in the city from the city somebody who
4:28
Speaker 1: who or somebody from the league. You feel what I'm saying,
4:31
Speaker 1: I'm speaking I'm dealing with some type of official it's
4:35
Speaker 1: a lot of chains of command that these things go through.
4:39
Speaker 3: Well, from what I understand, Rock Nation is in charge
4:42
Speaker 3: of the entertainment for the Super Bowl, since I want
4:46
Speaker 3: to say, the first one they did was Rihanna, So
4:48
Speaker 3: I think it was Rihanna, then fifty and then last
4:51
Speaker 3: year was Usher. Okay, well fifty was a doctor j year,
4:56
Speaker 3: but and then last year was Usher, and then this
4:57
Speaker 3: year would be Kendrick. So I think it's a Rock
5:00
Speaker 3: Nation thing, and it seems like but.
5:01
Speaker 1: See, it's always been able to be put on companies
5:06
Speaker 1: and entities, and I think that's the easy way out.
5:09
Speaker 4: I think that's the easy way out.
5:10
Speaker 1: Is to say, oh, such and such makes this decision,
5:12
Speaker 1: and they did it because it is I look at
5:14
Speaker 1: stuff for what it is and what it actually looks like,
5:17
Speaker 1: not like, oh, well, hurricane Chris is doing this because
5:21
Speaker 1: he signed in such and such or such and such
5:22
Speaker 1: as this recorde. But I'm just look at me for
5:25
Speaker 1: for what I look like. And I bag up and
5:28
Speaker 1: I look at the history of what's been happening over
5:31
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and it's been a repetitive
5:34
Speaker 1: history of not honoring the people from the community that
5:39
Speaker 1: helped build the community, but honoring people outside of the
5:42
Speaker 1: community right there in their face. And if it's the
5:45
Speaker 1: companies that's doing it without having proper knowledge, then it's
5:49
Speaker 1: the people that's that's leaders of the community and involved
5:53
Speaker 1: in the community. It's their job to step up and
5:55
Speaker 1: let the people in power know, Hey, let's let's let's
5:59
Speaker 1: let's let's let's.
6:00
Speaker 4: Kind of cater to the culture a little bit.
6:02
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Because if I was to
6:03
Speaker 1: come into your city as a promoter and I say,
6:06
Speaker 1: I'm finna book all these artists, You're gonna slow me
6:09
Speaker 1: down and make sure I cater to somebody that this
6:12
Speaker 1: city likes.
6:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that that would be fair as hell.
6:16
Speaker 1: As a friend, I think that.
6:18
Speaker 3: I just think that the super Bowl is just so
6:19
Speaker 3: massive that it's like the fact that it's like it's
6:23
Speaker 3: going to be in New orleans's bringing so much money
6:25
Speaker 3: to like the economy. So it's like the entertainment aspect
6:28
Speaker 3: of the halftime show is probably just like, well, we'll
6:30
Speaker 3: just leave it up to these guys. And I wonder, like,
6:33
Speaker 3: you know, a lot, you know, there's a lot of
6:35
Speaker 3: speculation that Jay had some sort of issues with Wayne
6:42
Speaker 3: or Drake and that that might have spilled over to
6:44
Speaker 3: the decision. I'm not sure. Yeah, I mean, because but
6:49
Speaker 3: I think that's all speculation.
6:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think Jay got no smoke with.
6:53
Speaker 3: I think that there's another like like way to look
6:55
Speaker 3: at it, and that's that like if you really kind
6:58
Speaker 3: of see.
6:58
Speaker 1: I don't put the blame on Jada. Let's let's get
7:01
Speaker 1: this straight. I don't put the blame on Jay because
7:03
Speaker 1: you gotta think he coming. He doing a million things,
7:06
Speaker 1: so so of course people may get mad at him
7:09
Speaker 1: in the beginning, but when you sit back and you
7:11
Speaker 1: think about it, it's it's one of a million things
7:16
Speaker 1: that he's doing. So I don't I don't look at
7:18
Speaker 1: it like he personally attempting to insult, you know what
7:23
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I'm not looking at it like that.
7:25
Speaker 4: Now, if it's something going on on the inside that
7:27
Speaker 4: I don't know.
7:27
Speaker 1: About, then I need to should have figged up possibly
7:29
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying, because if it's that they're just
7:31
Speaker 1: sitting here getting speculating.
7:33
Speaker 3: I mean. The other thing is is like I've seen
7:35
Speaker 3: Wayne recently, like he did he did WrestleMania in Philly
7:41
Speaker 3: and his performance was very interesting. He forgot a lot
7:44
Speaker 3: of his lyrics, so it could be ship like that,
7:46
Speaker 3: you know, like, hey, some of the bigger performances, like.
7:48
Speaker 1: Maybe if he performed in New Orleans, he wouldn't even
7:50
Speaker 1: have to sing his lyrics.
7:51
Speaker 3: I don't disagree. I mean they gonna sing. No, I
7:53
Speaker 3: don't disagree. I would have liked to have seen Wayne
7:55
Speaker 3: or at least like a young money you know, Wayne
7:58
Speaker 3: NICKI Drake thing. I mean, hopefully Kendrick. I mean, here's
8:01
Speaker 3: the thing.
8:04
Speaker 1: You got to think about some of these artists, some
8:09
Speaker 1: of us actually reach out to these entities and acts.
8:11
Speaker 4: Can we be involved?
8:12
Speaker 1: Right? Some of us actually let it be known that
8:16
Speaker 1: we would like to be involved, right, so we can
8:21
Speaker 1: we can kind of try to say, well, it's not
8:23
Speaker 1: a personal thing. But what if what if? What if?
8:27
Speaker 1: What if you call and reach out and you ask
8:30
Speaker 1: to be involved and you still reject it? You know
8:32
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like.
8:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, it could be. And like the
8:35
Speaker 3: other thing is is like like we said, it's like
8:37
Speaker 3: if this is a personal thing that we don't know
8:39
Speaker 3: about and it's just some some grudge that intertwined into
8:43
Speaker 3: this decision. I mean, then then That's just what it is.
8:46
Speaker 3: And then the other thing that sucks is I saw
8:48
Speaker 3: somebody say on Twitter it was like, well if Kendrick,
8:51
Speaker 3: it sucks as if Kendrick plan on bringing Wayne out, now,
8:55
Speaker 3: people are just going to think that he did it
8:56
Speaker 3: because he was pressured to do it, as opposed to
8:58
Speaker 3: he just wanted to do it. You know what I'm saying, Man,
9:00
Speaker 3: Like I think, Nah, Kendrick smart, you gotta bring Wayne
9:02
Speaker 3: Kenja get smart, Kendrick go like Iwayne out, bro Kendrick
9:06
Speaker 3: gets smart.
9:07
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be doing that because he's pressured, right to
9:09
Speaker 1: be honest, like, I would think that that's probably something
9:14
Speaker 1: that win in his head immediately, like.
9:15
Speaker 3: Oh for sure, like I got to bring Wayne out
9:17
Speaker 3: I'm in New Orleans, or I got to bring something.
9:20
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's just how we think.
9:22
Speaker 1: Because if I go to a city and I'm performing
9:24
Speaker 1: in a big city and I got a big event, right,
9:27
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to tap into who popping in that area.
9:30
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't doubt that, you know, Kendrick thing.
9:32
Speaker 3: Like that he brings Wayne out, that'd be spech Kendrick
9:34
Speaker 3: Gaylan dumb by far like so recently, Uh, you and
9:38
Speaker 3: fifty have been going back and forth. I know you
9:41
Speaker 3: spoke a little bit about it on Vlad. I'm curious
9:45
Speaker 3: for the people who don't know. Like obviously, fifty opened
9:48
Speaker 3: up his gun the movie studios in your hometown, right, Uh,
9:52
Speaker 3: he had like a weekend. Right, It was like like
9:54
Speaker 3: a whole weekend where people were coming to town and
9:57
Speaker 3: performing events, et cetera. Right, your grudge with him was
10:04
Speaker 3: that he did not necessarily reach out to pillars of
10:10
Speaker 3: the community like you think he should have.
10:13
Speaker 1: Is that?
10:13
Speaker 3: Am I on track? There?
10:15
Speaker 1: You're kind of on track. But it started before that.
10:17
Speaker 3: Okay.
10:18
Speaker 1: The first thing he did when he came to the city, Trepot,
10:20
Speaker 1: Louisiana has been called ratchet city for a real long time.
10:23
Speaker 3: Let's get get it.
10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, you know about it, all right, So
10:27
Speaker 1: the first thing he did when he came to the city,
10:29
Speaker 1: everybody opened their arms and welcomed him, right, and then
10:32
Speaker 1: he said, no more ratchet in my city. We're getting this.
10:35
Speaker 4: Ratchet shit out of here.
10:37
Speaker 3: He said that out of his mouth, out of his.
10:39
Speaker 4: Own mouth, with his lips and teeth and tongue.
10:41
Speaker 3: Wow.
10:43
Speaker 1: And the radio host said, hey, man, you know they
10:45
Speaker 1: kind of crazy about that, you know, that's their thing.
10:47
Speaker 4: He said, no, no, no, we got to get that
10:48
Speaker 4: out of here.
10:49
Speaker 1: So I reach out immediately like, hey, we need to
10:52
Speaker 1: sit down and have a talk.
10:54
Speaker 4: I didn't get no response.
10:55
Speaker 1: So now getting calls from my neighborhood and they saying, hey,
11:00
Speaker 1: what's what, what's wrong with fifty saying Ratchet is dead
11:03
Speaker 1: and it ain't no more Ratchett City. Like that's kind
11:06
Speaker 1: of disrespectful, don't you think, right? So I didn't pay
11:10
Speaker 1: no attention. And then I've seen a sign that the
11:13
Speaker 1: news poster that said fifty cent Councilors Ratchett City. I'm like, oh,
11:18
Speaker 1: they going crazy with this ship. Okay, fuck all the
11:21
Speaker 1: money that you, fuck all of that, fuck all this
11:24
Speaker 1: shit up you Now you you being disrespectful.
11:26
Speaker 4: This is straight disrespect. So that's how I took it.
11:30
Speaker 1: So now when I see you do the event and
11:34
Speaker 1: you don't even involve no Ratchet City artists on the
11:38
Speaker 1: main stage, I'm looking at it like, so it's even
11:41
Speaker 1: more of something that's snowballing in my mind that you're
11:44
Speaker 1: against this Ratchet movement, which.
11:46
Speaker 3: If I go to the Baby, it'd be like coming
11:48
Speaker 3: to La and being like no more gangster rap, are.
11:51
Speaker 1: Gone going going going over. Yeah. And if you listen
11:56
Speaker 1: to my song the Ratchet remix e forty on there,
11:59
Speaker 1: he say a babe Bay. Yeah, I mean he's gonna
12:02
Speaker 1: say he say, he say Ratchet mean high feel like
12:04
Speaker 1: where you stay? Yeah, I mean's so it's something that
12:06
Speaker 1: been understood and it takes somebody like fifty who don't
12:10
Speaker 1: understand the culture of the South. All he see is, oh,
12:12
Speaker 1: I could buy these buildings and make a bunch of
12:14
Speaker 1: money and give a cook.
12:15
Speaker 3: I'm assuming the real estate market in Treeport is a
12:18
Speaker 3: lot more affordable to open up a studio than if
12:20
Speaker 3: you were to go to La.
12:22
Speaker 1: Super cheap, Yeah, super super duper cheap. And the state
12:25
Speaker 1: the city was trying to like beg somebody to take
12:28
Speaker 1: that building because they built it for purposes of helping
12:31
Speaker 1: the community. It was none profits involved with it. It
12:33
Speaker 1: was supposed to be teaching the community and right and
12:36
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff was supposed to happen and it
12:37
Speaker 1: never happened. So they needed that to be taken off
12:39
Speaker 1: of their hands because it was just sitting and nobody
12:42
Speaker 1: was doing nothing with it. So it was actually a
12:44
Speaker 1: good idea, and it was the perfect idea, you know
12:46
Speaker 1: what I'm saying for him to do that. But I'm
12:50
Speaker 1: down with all of that, but you just we just
12:52
Speaker 1: got off on the wrong foot with him disrespecting his
12:54
Speaker 1: Ratchet shit because my first album was called fifty one
12:56
Speaker 1: fifty Ratchet. I got home boys just named Ratchet Life.
12:59
Speaker 1: That's dead and gone. My partners created a whole record
13:01
Speaker 1: label based off of this, this culture. You know what
13:04
Speaker 1: I'm saying. He got sentenced to life and end up
13:06
Speaker 1: giving a sentence back and coming home to seeing you
13:08
Speaker 1: saying that Ratchett shit is dead. And he just got
13:11
Speaker 1: home this year, like and he thought he was coming
13:13
Speaker 1: home and to get his ship back popping, you know
13:15
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, so you're really just you saying.
13:18
Speaker 3: But that was where things got on the wrong foot.
13:20
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, So now when I when I see the
13:23
Speaker 1: event go down and no, no Ratchett City Artists is involved,
13:27
Speaker 1: and I don't see no you know, like no, no,
13:29
Speaker 1: no hommage being paid to the city. It was a
13:33
Speaker 1: bunch of people Louisiana, Like it was some people from Louisiana,
13:36
Speaker 1: but it was nobody, No, no, it was it was
13:39
Speaker 1: it was a artist from Louisiana, but it was nobody
13:41
Speaker 1: from Streetport. My thing is, you're saying this is your city.
13:44
Speaker 1: You're saying it's what we're gonna.
13:45
Speaker 4: Call this city. This is kind of called this city.
13:47
Speaker 4: So put some of your who is the artist in
13:51
Speaker 4: your city?
13:51
Speaker 1: That's popping. What's the neighborhoods in your city? Since you're
13:54
Speaker 1: saying this your city and we ain't gonna call it
13:55
Speaker 1: ratch your city, what's the problems in the community. You
13:58
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I understand you doing your part
14:00
Speaker 1: and all of that, but what the fuck is they
14:01
Speaker 1: gonna help to youngsters that's out here shooting and killing
14:03
Speaker 1: each other. You could fool a bunch of dummies with
14:06
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm finnaar people gonna be able to work
14:08
Speaker 1: for my studios.
14:08
Speaker 3: So I'm about to help the community.
14:10
Speaker 1: Bro, If you ain't building a big ass industrial company
14:12
Speaker 1: and hiring a thousands and thousands of people, then you're
14:16
Speaker 1: not about to put no significant dent into the problem
14:19
Speaker 1: that's happening with a lack of jobs in the community.
14:22
Speaker 1: So what he got as a marketing agent that I
14:25
Speaker 1: had hired working with me at one time, and what
14:27
Speaker 1: they know how to do is put a message out
14:29
Speaker 1: to the community that and make them really understand the
14:32
Speaker 1: message and take it and put it into the perception.
14:35
Speaker 1: He got somebody that I used to have working for me,
14:37
Speaker 1: and he was the head of marketing, and his whole
14:39
Speaker 1: thing is marketing is perception and what you can make
14:42
Speaker 1: people believe. People so slow they don't see plays happening
14:46
Speaker 1: right inside of their face. I'm the type of person
14:48
Speaker 1: to where I make immediate demands. If you're gonna sell
14:50
Speaker 1: me a dream, I don't want the dream. Tell I'm
14:54
Speaker 1: make immediate demands for for you know you understand that.
14:57
Speaker 1: If I'm doing business with somebody.
14:59
Speaker 3: My thing is is, did you attempt to like maybe
15:04
Speaker 3: reach out and like before things got I reach.
15:06
Speaker 1: Out a few times, we need to sit down and talk.
15:09
Speaker 1: I never got a response.
15:10
Speaker 3: Who did you reach out to that I.
15:11
Speaker 1: Reach out to him? And I actually spoke to his
15:14
Speaker 1: right hand man, YAlO Nahnee, a guy that we both
15:18
Speaker 1: know and come and that that that I brought to
15:20
Speaker 1: the city that ended up bringing him to the city.
15:22
Speaker 3: Got it. So I guess that's my thing is, like
15:26
Speaker 3: I think two things can be true at the same time.
15:28
Speaker 3: It can't be true that he was a little disrespectful
15:32
Speaker 3: with the getting rid of Raget City. And it also
15:34
Speaker 3: can be true that he's bringing industry and jobs to
15:38
Speaker 3: the city, right.
15:39
Speaker 1: I mean a move, he got a he got a studio,
15:43
Speaker 1: so that if you can act and you want to
15:45
Speaker 1: be in the music, I mean, a movie industry is
15:48
Speaker 1: definitely going to be a plus to you.
15:50
Speaker 3: Well, I mean with acting like people I live. I
15:53
Speaker 3: live in Burbank where there's studios everywhere, there's light people right, right.
15:57
Speaker 1: So it's definated. Do you want to be in the industry,
15:59
Speaker 1: then it's definitely gonna be a good thing for you.
16:01
Speaker 3: Right yeah, even if you like can build shit, right.
16:04
Speaker 1: Right, involvement in the movie industry is gonna be a
16:08
Speaker 1: good thing.
16:08
Speaker 3: And I think, I think, but I just think I
16:10
Speaker 3: think that, like I said, both things can be true.
16:13
Speaker 3: Like he could be he could have approached things differently.
16:15
Speaker 3: But also he also is bringing what seems to be
16:18
Speaker 3: some opportunity to it.
16:20
Speaker 1: But I don't matter how much opportunity I bring into
16:22
Speaker 1: your house, I gotta respect the people inside of your house.
16:24
Speaker 1: If I walk into your house just because I'm the
16:26
Speaker 1: person who's finna pay for the food today, that don't
16:28
Speaker 1: mean I get to swing my dick around and talk.
16:29
Speaker 3: Do you think he's been disrespectful to the people of
16:31
Speaker 3: the city or do you just think he can just
16:33
Speaker 3: relighted the hip hop culture.
16:35
Speaker 1: The culture so and the culture is created by the people.
16:38
Speaker 1: We are the people, you know what I'm saying. So
16:41
Speaker 1: I speak for the people, not the Internet. But I
16:44
Speaker 1: speak for the people who don't even know how to
16:46
Speaker 1: work Instagram, you know what I'm saying, the actual community.
16:49
Speaker 3: Like, after you guys got into your uh your dispute,
16:53
Speaker 3: there has there been any conversation outside of the internet
16:55
Speaker 3: back and forth.
16:56
Speaker 1: No, it ain't been no conversation.
16:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, you know, I think I think think
17:00

17:04
Speaker 3: to talk to somebody like you and at the very
17:07

25:48
Speaker 3: lawsuit that you were going to be suing the city
25:50
Speaker 3: of Shreveport. Is that still something that's still happening or I.
25:54
Speaker 1: Am pressed forward with the lawsuit because I was gonna
25:56
Speaker 1: have to spend like some stupid money on lawyers, and
26:00
Speaker 1: I wasn't guaranteed to even get the paperwork to show
26:04
Speaker 1: me what was saying and what happened in the courtroom,
26:06
Speaker 1: like the records. It's hard to get the paperwork that
26:10
Speaker 1: I need to go forward with my lawsuit.
26:11
Speaker 4: They got the right to deny this shit.
26:13
Speaker 1: They don't have to give it to me, like the
26:15
Speaker 1: records from the courtroom that I need. They got our
26:18
Speaker 1: long history of denying. And then the lawyer telling me
26:21
Speaker 1: when I spend the money. It's a real big gamble,
26:24
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I feel like God
26:27
Speaker 1: got me out of the situation. And if I could
26:30
Speaker 1: stop other people from getting into the situation by shedding
26:32
Speaker 1: some light on how fucked up the justice system, if
26:36
Speaker 1: I could let these youngsters know, if you go catch
26:38
Speaker 1: a charge and you ain't got two hundred and fifty
26:40
Speaker 1: thousand and a half a million dollars and a property to
26:43
Speaker 1: put up, your ass gonna be sitting in.
26:45
Speaker 3: Jail with some bullshit public defender.
26:48
Speaker 1: With a bullshit public defender. Even with a real lawyer,
26:50
Speaker 1: you still get your ass slung. I got a partner
26:52
Speaker 1: with real lawyer, just got two thirty year sentences, got
26:54
Speaker 1: a partner with a real lawyer, just got two like
26:57
Speaker 1: no guarantee sitting in there right now.
27:00
Speaker 3: Did they try to push you, like to take a
27:02
Speaker 3: like a plea?
27:03
Speaker 1: After my ship was over, my lawyer told me, you know,
27:06
Speaker 1: they came to me and told me that they'll let
27:09
Speaker 1: you take forty years. He said, I know, if I
27:12
Speaker 1: would have bought it to you, you would have faed me.
27:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you would have been fucked because you
27:16
Speaker 3: ended up getting free and beating the charge.
27:19
Speaker 1: Exactly.
27:20
Speaker 3: But they want you to take well, they want you
27:22
Speaker 3: to take the plea.
27:23
Speaker 1: I wouldn't taken five you know.
27:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, self defense. Yeah, that's what's crazy. Is like in
27:28
Speaker 3: the South. You know, it's very uh possible to defend
27:33
Speaker 3: yourself in California. If someone breaks into your fucking house
27:37
Speaker 3: and you shoot them, you're going to jail. They don't
27:40
Speaker 3: give a fuck out here.
27:41
Speaker 1: Bro like, and they going to hell.
27:44
Speaker 3: They're going to go to hell, and you're going to jail.
27:46
Speaker 1: Pick one jail a hell no.
27:48
Speaker 3: But but it is interesting.
27:49
Speaker 1: Man.
27:49
Speaker 3: I'm glad. I'm glad you beat your charge. And I think, uh,
27:52
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's important that you, uh you
27:56
Speaker 3: shed light on like kind of what happened, because, like
27:58
Speaker 3: you said, a lot of a lot of people man
28:00
Speaker 3: with no resources, they get put in that room and
28:02
Speaker 3: the lawyer says, look, we could either fight this and
28:05
Speaker 3: there's a chance you go to prison for the rest
28:07
Speaker 3: of your life, or you could take this plea deo
28:10
Speaker 3: even though you know you're innocent, and it's eight years
28:13
Speaker 3: or it's ten years, and then you're like, well, fuck, if.
28:17
Speaker 1: You ain't got no bag, put up as you to
28:19
Speaker 1: chill out, you know, lay back, don't jump out here
28:22
Speaker 1: here first, like.
28:23
Speaker 3: That random question. There's a show called True Detective. Did
28:26
Speaker 3: you ever watch it? Okay, so it was based in Louisiana,
28:31
Speaker 3: some of it in treport. It's with Matthew McConaughey and
28:35
Speaker 3: Woody Harrelson. It's pretty it's a pretty gnarly show. But
28:39
Speaker 3: I was just I wanted to get your take on,
28:40
Speaker 3: like how accurate of a depiction it was of because
28:43
Speaker 3: there's like parishes and shit, which is like what.
28:46
Speaker 1: We got parishes?
28:46
Speaker 3: Would you say a parish is like a city or
28:49
Speaker 3: like a zip code or like it's like a county
28:53
Speaker 3: a county. So if there's a parish, like, is there
28:55
Speaker 3: like a parish police department.
28:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a kettle parish police plum.
29:00
Speaker 3: So why why like, what is a fucking parish compared Like,
29:02
Speaker 3: why there is there only parishes in Louisiana.
29:05
Speaker 1: I have no idea what with how that ship is
29:07
Speaker 1: set up.
29:08
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's the only fucking place with parishes.
29:10
Speaker 1: Because in Houston you got counties.
29:11
Speaker 3: Right, we got counties everywhere else?
29:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't never, I don't understand it.
29:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's interesting. Who are some of the young
29:18
Speaker 3: up and coming artists out of Streetport that you would have, like,
29:22
Speaker 3: you know, you obviously mentioned fifty didn't kind of is
29:25
Speaker 3: there anybody who's on the come up that you want
29:27
Speaker 3: to shut somebody on? Hell?
29:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got you got a lot of these boys.
29:31
Speaker 1: You got do Wop green eyes. It's so de little man,
29:41
Speaker 1: they're gonna be mad at me. You gotta be with
29:46
Speaker 1: There's a lot of young cats that's popping right now,
29:49
Speaker 1: Like Streetport got some heat. We got legends as well
29:53
Speaker 1: that's been popping for a long time, like people that
29:56
Speaker 1: was popping a long time ago that's still rock big
29:59
Speaker 1: heavy crowds like big Popper. You know what I'm saying, KP.
30:03
Speaker 1: Streetport got a music history, and we actually got artists
30:07
Speaker 1: that's been rocking crowds of seven eight thousand people locally.
30:12
Speaker 3: That's great. That's a lot of fucking. That's a lot
30:13
Speaker 3: of fucking.
30:14
Speaker 1: Half of like, we got people that have been filling
30:16
Speaker 1: up whole sections of football stadiums and rocking that shit.
30:20
Speaker 1: And you see, you might see ten fifteen thousand people
30:23
Speaker 1: out here saying this shit word for words like Streetport
30:26
Speaker 1: got a history of music and that's why I feel
30:29
Speaker 1: like it's important that people pay homage and respect to
30:32
Speaker 1: that shit when you come there, you understand what I'm saying?
30:35
Speaker 1: What is uh?
30:36
Speaker 3: Give me kind of like geographically Streetport the Baton Rouge
30:39
Speaker 3: in New Orleans? Like where like how far is where
30:41
Speaker 3: you're from? From those two places?
30:43
Speaker 1: New Orleans? Probably you probably end up taking like four
30:47
Speaker 1: and a half five hours to get there.
30:48
Speaker 3: That's a serious mission.
30:50
Speaker 1: Ben Rudge, like four.
30:52
Speaker 3: Hours and then you guys are pretty close to Dallas.
30:54
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we like two and a half hours from Dallas, right,
30:57
Speaker 1: So would you say that about a good three hours max?
31:01
Speaker 3: Would you say that? Like Shreveport and Dallas have more
31:05
Speaker 3: in common musically.
31:06
Speaker 1: Streetport and Dallas don't have more in coming musically, they
31:09
Speaker 1: got more, They got a lot in common culture wise
31:12
Speaker 1: because Streetport is so close to Texas, so is North Louisiana,
31:17
Speaker 1: So it ain't they don't have the accent that Badon
31:20
Speaker 1: Ruoge got. We ain't got the accent that New Orleans got.
31:23
Speaker 1: Like it, right, we got our own accent. But it's different.
31:25
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You'll be able to tell
31:27
Speaker 1: the difference, Like you guys.
31:28
Speaker 3: Aren't saying WOADI in h Streetport.
31:31
Speaker 1: Nah, we don't say Woday. I don't even think New
31:32
Speaker 1: Orleans say that.
31:33
Speaker 3: Noing was that was the thing when I was like
31:35
Speaker 3: Woaday whenever you were listening to the master p True albums. Shit.
31:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't even think I think they upgraded.
31:42
Speaker 1: They hold Lingo and Dialect.
31:44
Speaker 3: You and Boozye put out a dope record recently. He
31:46
Speaker 3: obviously if you go all the way back to the
31:49
Speaker 3: Ababay remix, he was on that. He was one of
31:51
Speaker 3: the thirty eight rappers that was on the remix. What
31:54
Speaker 3: was on that rebax?
31:54
Speaker 1: It was game Boozy forty Kiss jadakiss Uh. It was
32:03
Speaker 1: a lot of people, bro it was Coloratcher remix, the
32:05
Speaker 1: game for the jade ki is Boosy Birdman.
32:09
Speaker 3: Birdman was on it.
32:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of people.
32:12
Speaker 3: It was like how long was I just remember it
32:14
Speaker 3: being too long to play on the radio?
32:15
Speaker 1: Man? That shit was crazy. I think I broke remix
32:18
Speaker 1: eight minutes or something. The hardest remix in rap history.
32:20
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, what what was I mean?
32:22
Speaker 3: Obviously at that time the hottest joint out, Like, was
32:25
Speaker 3: that something that like you were were you were some
32:30
Speaker 3: of those like features favors, some of them the label
32:32
Speaker 3: had to pay.
32:33
Speaker 1: For Nah, the record got so big bro that everybody
32:36
Speaker 1: just said they just wanted to get on it. Everybody
32:38
Speaker 1: just started flooding. They was like gonna beef with me.
32:41
Speaker 1: I had people telling me, man, if you take me
32:43
Speaker 1: off of this regular, we ain't friends no more. Wow.
32:46
Speaker 3: Was there anybody who didn't make it to try to
32:48
Speaker 3: get on it?
32:48
Speaker 1: Like a lot of versus that I think. I think
32:50
Speaker 1: I had a verse from Ludacris. Pimpsey was on it.
32:55
Speaker 1: The label made the worst decision ever when they cut
32:57
Speaker 1: Pimps off of it, like that's and he to kill
33:00
Speaker 1: everybody from the regular Abel to.
33:03
Speaker 3: Pimpc. Pimpsy was on a Hey Baby remix.
33:06
Speaker 1: His DJ caught me like two weeks ago telling me
33:09
Speaker 1: he got the verse, So I'm gonna get that verse.
33:11
Speaker 3: Oh, you gotta get that verse even if you like
33:14
Speaker 3: you know what's crazy is you could probably like reproduce
33:16
Speaker 3: the song and reperform it and do like a fucking
33:19
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, because you know that's what Taylor Swift did.
33:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she re recorded all the music.
33:27
Speaker 3: That'd be crazy if you got the Pimps verse. Did
33:30
Speaker 3: you have a good relationship with PIMPC when he was
33:32
Speaker 3: a Liveye.
33:32
Speaker 1: I just tried to PIMC like every day, like for
33:34
Speaker 1: probably like at least an hour on the phone. We
33:38
Speaker 1: talked daily. Bro.
33:39
Speaker 3: He was so fucking ahead of his time. And I
33:42
Speaker 3: just think if he still was with us, he would
33:44
Speaker 3: have one of the most fire podcasts of all time.
33:47
Speaker 3: Like I think how Drake Champs is cracking. Can you
33:49
Speaker 3: imagine if Pimpsy had a fucking podcast in twenty twenty four.
33:52
Speaker 1: Man, they try to cancel his ass already, you couldn't
33:55
Speaker 1: cancel him. They had to cancel him.
33:57
Speaker 3: I'd be like Pimps and Boozie are the same, Like
33:59
Speaker 3: you could never cancel boo It don't matter what Boozy
34:01
Speaker 3: does or says.
34:02
Speaker 1: He's kind of come from that umbrella, you know for sure,
34:06
Speaker 1: kind of was affiliated with So it's a lot of
34:09
Speaker 1: affiliation there, but that that definitely was a good friend
34:12
Speaker 1: of mine. Like Pimp ain't give a fuck what he said,
34:14
Speaker 1: when he said it, how he said it. If Pimp
34:17
Speaker 1: was alive right now, a lot of this ship that's
34:19
Speaker 1: happening wouldn't be happening. He'll be speaking up on it
34:21
Speaker 1: for sure.
34:22
Speaker 3: Uh. I feel like just because of the tempo of
34:24
Speaker 3: your records, Like the West Coast has always had a
34:28
Speaker 3: place for your ship in the club.
34:29
Speaker 1: The West Coast was like when I first popped, this
34:34
