- 2:05Speaker 3: It was for lo Beyonce cuts here and he coming
- 2:08Speaker 3: out and then you hit an intro drop.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'm like like really like it really felt real, Brooklyn.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It was crazy bro Brooklynness and then Beyonce coming out
- 2:18Speaker 1: and singing it even though I'm like, yo, marry, I'm
- 2:20Speaker 1: thinking might not marrying she and Vegas, She's not coming.

- 3:12Speaker 1: people bum rushed the front like they just like was
- 3:14Speaker 1: like in Fox security, and they just start running in.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I saw videos of it. They just like trample people
- 3:19Speaker 1: to get in and then they at that point, it
- 3:22Speaker 1: was the security risk because it was like we didn't
- 3:24Speaker 1: check none of these people. We didn't make sure they
- 3:25Speaker 1: don't got weapons and stuff like that. So now and
- 3:28Speaker 1: then I heard a different story where it was like
- 3:29Speaker 1: they had to make every artist sign another waiver because like,
- 3:32Speaker 1: if you go out, you're gonna go out without us
- 3:35Speaker 1: being able to tell you officially. It's a risk that
- 3:37Speaker 1: we know that they're safe.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Because if anybody wants to shoot through it, they could
- 3:41Speaker 2: do it.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Anything, they could do it, they could do it. But
- 3:44Speaker 1: I feel like people just wanted to see whole man.

- 5:06Speaker 3: Noah's coming on that stage almost unreal.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Its bro.
- 5:11Speaker 3: This came out in ninety six, so it's like, I
- 5:13Speaker 3: feel like jay Z being on stage just took me
- 5:15Speaker 3: back to six.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Years and they was wrapping on each other's.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Ninety six like you know, and they're getting off each
- 5:20Speaker 3: other be brose.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Now they're actually cool.
- 5:24Speaker 3: That's MC's biggie jay Z or not, like that ship
- 5:27Speaker 3: was unmatch I said, that's a I gotta turn this
- 5:30Speaker 3: into a blond crowd, Like, how can I get the
- 5:33Speaker 3: blond people to go crazy with me?
- 5:35Speaker 1: A blond crowd is insane, That's.
- 5:37Speaker 2: What I'm saying. How do you enjoy a concert as
- 5:39Speaker 2: somebody blind? Like, just ignore that ship. Put the ship
- 5:45Speaker 2: on silent, silent because I thought I turned it down.
- 5:48Speaker 2: You know he works, hubby, you're working free mommy.
- 5:52Speaker 1: They later, but no, so unmatched. I mean that.
- 5:57Speaker 2: I was just like, they give you all, but we
- 6:00Speaker 2: have to give it. But we have to. I know you.
- 6:02Speaker 2: You have to understand we are special type of disabled.
- 6:05Speaker 2: We're not really fully disabled, you know what I'm saying,
- 6:07Speaker 2: Like we were not disabled disabled. You have to explain
- 6:09Speaker 2: it for those who watched you because they're blonde, they've
- 6:12Speaker 2: never been to it. Like, think of it, if you've
- 6:14Speaker 2: never been to a concert as a blonde person, how
- 6:15Speaker 2: would you explain that? All?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Right, hold on, cause I got to see these people. Yeah,
- 6:22Speaker 1: did you.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Your glasses to the concept already?
- 6:25Speaker 3: But yo, I ain't recording that because it was just
- 6:27Speaker 3: so much that you can't even take your phone out.
- 6:28Speaker 2: It was just everything just kept you just enjoyed the moment.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Yo, I'm in there, I'm sitting down it. It was hot
- 6:35Speaker 3: a Yankee stadium, just saying hot. But then when that
- 6:39Speaker 3: video him cut in his hair and then you had
- 6:42Speaker 3: that introl.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like.
- 6:45Speaker 2: How did you know he was cutting his hair?
- 6:47Speaker 1: Though?
- 6:47Speaker 2: How did you know he was?
- 6:48Speaker 3: I was in there with me and my aunt mall
- 6:50Speaker 3: like he cut in the head, but I already felt
- 6:52Speaker 3: he was cutting.
- 6:53Speaker 1: He was gonna cut it, you felt.
- 6:54Speaker 3: I felt ninety six. You gotta go back to the
- 6:56Speaker 3: Yankee hat. You gotta go back to the constructs. It
- 7:00Speaker 3: was kind of it was kind of I was I
- 7:02Speaker 3: was saying this, saying that. I'm like, if he gonna
- 7:04Speaker 3: give it, he gonna give it. I'm thinking he was
- 7:05Speaker 3: gonna drive out with the range robe on stage, just
- 7:07Speaker 3: like all the Bentley or how you feel me.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I'm thinking like that back in the day.
- 7:11Speaker 3: But then when he came out there, he heard that intro,
- 7:14Speaker 3: I think that's the mad rap on it. At the beginning,
- 7:16Speaker 3: It's like, did he come out he rapping? The energy
- 7:19Speaker 3: was just different, the word from word. I'm out of breath.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I'm losing my voice because it's like this nigga really
- 7:26Speaker 3: got me fanned out right now.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, you were with family, it didn't even feel
- 7:31Speaker 1: like fanship. Everybody loved this, y'all. Same way for me.
- 7:34Speaker 2: As a as a female, you know, especially being from
- 7:37Speaker 2: New York. Jay Z was my dad's favorite rapper. So
- 7:40Speaker 2: I just got like inherited, you know what I'm saying,
- 7:42Speaker 2: jay Z. I inherited jay Z as like one of
- 7:45Speaker 2: my favorite rappers and he is my goal. I will
- 7:47Speaker 2: say that because it's just like, think about all the
- 7:49Speaker 2: albums he has about his transition, a lot of stuff
- 7:52Speaker 2: and not a lot of and not a lot of guys,
- 7:54Speaker 2: not a lot of people can go in and out
- 7:56Speaker 2: how he do. Like him and Beyonce, the way they're
- 7:58Speaker 2: able to go on different flow, those different beasts, different rhythms,
- 8:01Speaker 2: different timings. You know what I'm saying. Because jay Z
- 8:03Speaker 2: went and people couldn't relate to him no more because
- 8:06Speaker 2: he started rapping about all this rich ship, you know
- 8:08Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
- 8:08Speaker 1: But Daniel, you really think are he not rapping around?
- 8:11Speaker 3: He teaches you about wealth like four four four album,
- 8:14Speaker 3: he's really dropping jews.
- 8:15Speaker 2: When he was saying the body the paint, like.
- 8:20Speaker 3: I said, Wolf I said, Yo, this song smells is
- 8:22Speaker 3: my favorite ship like from him, because.
- 8:24Speaker 1: He's really talking that ship like like part of it.
- 8:27Speaker 3: When he said I wish I would drink Belvedere when
- 8:29Speaker 3: Puff got a rock stopped, meaning like we need to circle.
- 8:34Speaker 1: This black dollar into our neighborhoods.
- 8:36Speaker 3: How he couldn't bought a house at number for two million,
- 8:38Speaker 3: that's your worth twenty Now he's really dropping game on
- 8:41Speaker 3: us in for a fourth for ELB. So I don't
- 8:43Speaker 3: think it's a flex, it's a yo. Money is really
- 8:46Speaker 3: not nothing this cross. It's like we're throwing money in
- 8:48Speaker 3: the strip club. You're supposed to be fixing your credit.
- 8:50Speaker 1: So it's like he really dropped more important his lawyer fees.
- 8:56Speaker 2: So do you think that fans don't like to with
- 9:00Speaker 2: the artists or I Toldal you feel like that because
- 9:03Speaker 2: you feel like a lot of people want their artists
- 9:05Speaker 2: to like stag they stay the same, because it's like,
- 9:07Speaker 2: all right, he we we got jay Z from selling
- 9:09Speaker 2: crack and in that you know what I'm saying, rapping
- 9:12Speaker 2: about bitches, money holes all the player. You know you're saying,
- 9:14Speaker 2: like rapping about all that ship. And once she started
- 9:17Speaker 2: rapping about oldest real ship, this political ship.
- 9:20Speaker 1: People got some people stop sucking. We said it.
- 9:22Speaker 3: People want my old ship by old albums, like like
- 9:26Speaker 3: you got you gotta grow, you can't stay at the
- 9:28Speaker 3: same Like that droll shit is cool. When these niggas
- 9:32Speaker 3: young who want to hear drill rap at forty really
- 9:35Speaker 3: drapping rapping about forty year old ship.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Nobody don't want to hear that.
- 9:38Speaker 2: So how do you feel about drill rap?
- 9:40Speaker 1: Get rid of it. I feel drill dad, I feel.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Like it's not even music. I feel like it's just
- 9:46Speaker 2: people rapping about what they did to get themselves later
- 9:48Speaker 2: on and died. It's like, hey, hey, police, let me
- 9:51Speaker 2: tell you everything I did just so I could prove
- 9:53Speaker 2: to all these other niggas that I'm gangst and I
- 9:55Speaker 2: did the ship that you did. Real gangster's moving silence.
- 9:58Speaker 2: So if you got to rap about all the ship
- 9:59Speaker 2: that you you know what I'm saying, doing and not
- 10:01Speaker 2: realizing that these Feds and these people are watching this ship,
- 10:04Speaker 2: using this ship just to later on use it against
- 10:07Speaker 2: you and indict y'all, and then you see all these
- 10:09Speaker 2: gang indictments coming.
- 10:10Speaker 3: From I felt I feel like the big homies is
- 10:13Speaker 3: the blame about it because like how I'm looking after
- 10:15Speaker 3: you when you really teach, Like for us, it's a
- 10:17Speaker 3: little dirt dark.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Make beautiful music, good music of dirt music.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Yeah, but who was around him to tell them that,
- 10:24Speaker 3: you know, we can't rap about this, We can't do this,
- 10:26Speaker 3: We can't do that.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Nobody and these.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Record labels is gonna keep pushing the music. They're gonna
- 10:31Speaker 3: keep selling, Like I make my first million for talking
- 10:34Speaker 3: about shit I did.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Who's gonna keep stopping.
- 10:36Speaker 3: They're gonna keep going that shit is addictive. You're getting
- 10:38Speaker 3: the money the rap about shit that you you did,
- 10:40Speaker 3: you're doing in life.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Who's gonna stop?
- 10:42Speaker 2: But how do we make being what the word they
- 10:46Speaker 2: would call it is like a simp or like not
- 10:49Speaker 2: a simp, just like a regular civilian. How do we
- 10:51Speaker 2: make being a civilian cool again? For black boys in
- 10:53Speaker 2: the hood, you know, like this rappers out here. J Cole, No,
- 10:56Speaker 2: I'm not talking about like as far as rapping. Now,
- 10:59Speaker 2: it's the bigger issue because you said you said big,
- 11:02Speaker 2: you said big homies and stuff like that. So now
- 11:04Speaker 2: this is to the streets, you know what I'm saying.
- 11:06Speaker 2: So in order to make things better, where will we start,
- 11:10Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, like you saying big homies,
- 11:12Speaker 2: but I feel like it starts with the parents.
- 11:13Speaker 3: I feel like something like people want to say that,
- 11:16Speaker 3: but I think times is hard. People like some people
- 11:18Speaker 3: parents working two jobs, so we really really don't know
- 11:21Speaker 3: what your kids.
- 11:22Speaker 2: But this is the thing about working two jobs and
- 11:24Speaker 2: all this stuff. And this is why it's different if
- 11:26Speaker 2: you have one kid and you know you had to
- 11:28Speaker 2: learn it on the way. I don't believe in people
- 11:30Speaker 2: struggling and having multiple children, you know what I'm saying,
- 11:33Speaker 2: because it's like, now you're not able. You knew you
- 11:35Speaker 2: didn't have the time for this child, because the most
- 11:37Speaker 2: important thing you could give a child is time. You
- 11:39Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Finance is finance, isn't money you
- 11:42Speaker 2: need and stuff like that, but for a child, they
- 11:45Speaker 2: need that physical time.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Not absolutely.
- 11:48Speaker 3: But then it's like it's a damn if you do,
- 11:49Speaker 3: damn if you don't, cause it's like that child out
- 11:51Speaker 3: there looking bony, and I got the proper equipment.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the child outside want to go.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Back to them.
- 11:57Speaker 3: So it's like and then in New Yorkish ridiculous, and
- 12:00Speaker 3: they just keep going up shout out to stop it,
- 12:04Speaker 3: stopping it, but look how much gas is.
- 12:07Speaker 2: But he's doing what we say, Mom, Donnie did what
- 12:09Speaker 2: we already was supposed to have. All this rent stabilization
- 12:12Speaker 2: and the low income house and all that should have
- 12:14Speaker 2: been say the same. I live in a low income
- 12:16Speaker 2: housing apartment and my rent goes up every year. I'm saying,
- 12:20Speaker 2: this is how they get you could sign the two
- 12:23Speaker 2: year least, that's how they get you to get you this.
- 12:25Speaker 2: You could sign the two year least and keep your
- 12:26Speaker 2: rent this price for the next year up. Or you
- 12:30Speaker 2: could sign this one year lease and don't have to
- 12:32Speaker 2: worry about breaking a contract if you don't want to
- 12:34Speaker 2: stay here another year. You know what I'm saying. And
- 12:36Speaker 2: then now I got to pay extra money because I
- 12:38Speaker 2: only I'm only signing the one.
- 12:40Speaker 1: This ship is crazy, but it's like me personally. I
- 12:43Speaker 1: felt like shout out to Hocus for a fifth, Like
- 12:45Speaker 1: what he's doing nothing?
- 12:47Speaker 2: Drop your flag, challenge, drop your flag.
- 12:49Speaker 3: That's a start right there. People think he's soft and
- 12:52Speaker 3: he pussy because he's doing that. I don't think people
- 12:54Speaker 3: lives is.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Being saved behind that ship.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 12:57Speaker 1: So I went I went out.
- 12:58Speaker 3: To go feed the homeless. So he's out there and
- 13:00Speaker 3: we're just talking to somebody and he like, you know,
- 13:02Speaker 3: He's like, yo, you homie, you banging.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I'm I used to.
- 13:05Speaker 3: He's like, Yo, Bro, how you get out? I'm trying
- 13:07Speaker 3: to get out, But I'm scared. Like what you're scared of?
- 13:09Speaker 1: Bro? He said, going back to my own neighborhood, they
- 13:11Speaker 1: might get me. Bro, I said, So change your hood then, bro,
- 13:15Speaker 1: Like just switch, he said. But that's all I know. Now,
- 13:18Speaker 1: that's all you like. If your mind conditioned to this
- 13:20Speaker 1: all you know, that's all you want.
- 13:22Speaker 2: To know, Bro, grown ass and wake up and go
- 13:24Speaker 2: live your life.
- 13:25Speaker 1: And people know.
- 13:27Speaker 2: But if you keep it, if you keep around the
- 13:29Speaker 2: same crowd, the problem is people don't want to be
- 13:31Speaker 2: in a game no more, but they still want to
- 13:32Speaker 2: be around game. And that's what a confusion.
- 13:34Speaker 1: And the gangs ain't like how it used to be.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Is not.
- 13:37Speaker 1: This is not Cali ship like Blood and Blood Out.
- 13:39Speaker 1: New York.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Was never supposed to have gangs. That ship originated over there.
- 13:44Speaker 2: It was supposed to do and when they started, it
- 13:47Speaker 2: was actually to help the black community. It wasn't to
- 13:50Speaker 2: tear us apart and kill each other.
- 13:52Speaker 1: How we're doing now.
- 13:53Speaker 3: You talk about when it came over here, when no,
- 13:54Speaker 3: I'm talking about when gangs started.
- 13:56Speaker 2: The first game was what crips right, And they started
- 14:00Speaker 2: spposed to be helping the community. It's like a sanction
- 14:02Speaker 2: of Organization's supposed to be something like that, and then
- 14:05Speaker 2: they turned it into something way.
- 14:08Speaker 3: One person got killed, they divided, and they went from there.
- 14:11Speaker 3: We an't gonna get into the politics.
- 14:12Speaker 2: But I used to watch gangling overhead.
- 14:15Speaker 3: It's just like what he's doing drop your flag challenge
- 14:19Speaker 3: I really appreciated because not for not and he's saving
- 14:23Speaker 3: a lot of people. It's real big homies with big names.
- 14:26Speaker 3: That's really dropping that ship. Then you got I didn't
- 14:30Speaker 3: even want to mention certain names, but that's pushing it.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Note to it.
- 14:33Speaker 3: It's not wrong with being in the gang. Is what
- 14:34Speaker 3: you're doing in the game. Man, it's a lot wrong
- 14:37Speaker 3: with being in the game.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Listen, the gang.
- 14:38Speaker 1: The reason why Gang Coach is dead.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Gang culture is an issue because now you're not looked
- 14:43Speaker 2: at as an individual, you get what I'm saying, You're
- 14:45Speaker 2: looked at as that whole, that whole organization. So now
- 14:49Speaker 2: you're getting what's the thing gang assaults, Like you could
- 14:52Speaker 2: have a regular fight, you could have jumped somebody with
- 14:55Speaker 2: something in the game. Now it's a gang a soul.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Now this is a rico, Now this is this and that,
- 14:58Speaker 2: and now you're.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Adding aga gone for the rest of your life.
- 15:02Speaker 2: I just feel like when it comes to gangs and
- 15:04Speaker 2: stuff like that, that's what you do. You know. I'm
- 15:06Speaker 2: from the hood, so I'm never going to sit there
- 15:07Speaker 2: and shut on gangs and shit like that. I used
- 15:09Speaker 2: to being the gangs myself, so I'm not considancial. But
- 15:13Speaker 2: as you get older, I just feel like there's things
- 15:15Speaker 2: you need to graduate from. And also if you're in
- 15:18Speaker 2: a gang and you're older, and make sure you're doing
- 15:19Speaker 2: something positive for the youth and the community so that
- 15:22Speaker 2: they can see. Like, look, even though I'm a gangster,
- 15:24Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, I still do this. I
- 15:26Speaker 2: still do this. The most gangster shit you could do
- 15:27Speaker 2: is take care of your family for real. That's the
- 15:30Speaker 2: only thing that's the only thing gangster to me. A
- 15:32Speaker 2: nigga that take care his motherfucking family for real. Real
- 15:35Speaker 2: gangsters provide and know how to protect themselves.
- 15:38Speaker 3: But shout out to French for one year being on

- 16:22Speaker 2: it where we could get with you. Yeah, okay, we're
- 16:26Speaker 2: going to make the most out of it. It's fine,
- 16:28Speaker 2: I think. So, just Harrie, is somebody else there to

- 16:44Speaker 1: to the point where if you watch the whole thing?
- 16:46Speaker 1: So in the verses between the game and Ygg got
- 16:49Speaker 1: to a point where he was drunk, he's feeling himself.
- 16:52Speaker 1: He was saying, people need to put respect on game culture.
- 16:55Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Disagree? Okay? What gang
- 17:00Speaker 1: culture really did for the what is really doing for
- 17:03Speaker 1: the communities. I totally see.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I I think that what they started off, like I said,
- 17:10Speaker 2: what they started for and what they ended up as
- 17:12Speaker 2: and what the younger generation.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Is, there's no order, no nothing, not many people in
- 17:17Speaker 3: the grade because the color of a flag.
- 17:20Speaker 2: For y g to really say that it is like
- 17:23Speaker 2: because I feel like for the people that were real
- 17:25Speaker 2: right and the people that did do their due diligence
- 17:27Speaker 2: and they joined the gangs for their you know what
- 17:29Speaker 2: I'm saying, I feel like I can't say. I can't
- 17:31Speaker 2: say I disrespect it because I got family and I
- 17:34Speaker 2: got absolutely and you know what I'm saying, So I
- 17:37Speaker 2: can't say, like people every day that's that.
- 17:40Speaker 1: They'll locked into this ship. Yeah, I don't push the narrative.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Now drop that ship. Bro lead that shit alone.
- 17:45Speaker 3: N you you're pushing your own path, so you may
- 17:47Speaker 3: not see that ship the way I see it.
- 17:50Speaker 1: But put respect on.
- 17:52Speaker 2: What I just feel like, put respect on yourself. If
- 17:55Speaker 2: you are in a gang, you gotta respect that gang.
- 17:57Speaker 2: People that's not in gangs don't have to respect to them.
- 18:01Speaker 2: But you know, it's really tearing that real life, like
- 18:05Speaker 2: really tearing down ship. Yeah, I mean I'm in I'm
- 18:08Speaker 2: in the cher because of a gang. I'm in a
- 18:10Speaker 2: chair because of crypt people.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Okay, I got shot by blood.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know so you you b k.
- 18:18Speaker 1: And occrazy about that. I got shot by my own car.
- 18:20Speaker 2: That's the that part about it, that's really how.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Wait can you speak more to that real quick? I
- 18:26Speaker 1: got shot by blood and I was pushing blood. I
- 18:31Speaker 1: was pushing blood. I don't even know who he is,
- 18:32Speaker 1: don't know nothing. He just wanted to beef.
- 18:36Speaker 3: No nothing, no no transactions, no words, no peace to
- 18:39Speaker 3: each other, no nothing.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I got hit for what and like we came off wrong,
- 18:46Speaker 1: we exchanged words, We ain't do none of that ship.
- 18:48Speaker 1: You didn't even see the guy Dan. So basically you're saying,
- 18:51Speaker 1: what's the point. So there's no such thing as gang loyalty,
- 18:54Speaker 1: is what you're saying.
- 18:55Speaker 2: I mean, if you if we're all in the same
- 18:57Speaker 2: gang and we don't know each other, that's why people
- 18:59Speaker 2: go up to each other, be like your money is
- 19:01Speaker 2: such and such a self. You know, they dap each
- 19:02Speaker 2: other up, they piece each other up. But it's different,
- 19:04Speaker 2: it's different games. It's different sets inside of each game.
- 19:07Speaker 2: So if you have all these sets this set, beefing
- 19:10Speaker 2: with this set. You get what I'm saying, But that
- 19:12Speaker 2: blood shit don't matter.
- 19:13Speaker 3: That though, it don't mean that com wh I first joined.
- 19:15Speaker 3: The first thing they ever told me. Every blood is
- 19:16Speaker 3: not your blood. Every blood is not your blood. So
- 19:20Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, cool this way before the way
- 19:22Speaker 3: it is now like now everybody's beefing with everybody.
- 19:26Speaker 1: It's just stupid.
- 19:27Speaker 3: But before it's like, oh, Jimmy, because we wearing this
- 19:30Speaker 3: we represent the same color, doesn't mean that's your blood.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Niggas a piece. Don't turn around and still try to
- 19:36Speaker 3: get you. It is really real. So do you blame
- 19:41Speaker 3: Do you blame game culture for the what happened to
- 19:43Speaker 3: me the way that, Yeah, nah, I don't blame game
- 19:45Speaker 3: culture will happen to me because I felt like it
- 19:48Speaker 3: wasn't a button that was pushed on me. It was
- 19:50Speaker 3: just ignorant niggas outside just an individual doing it. Was
- 19:53Speaker 3: just an ignorant niggas outside of doing what they do.
- 19:55Speaker 3: That ship shit is really not game culture, like like
- 19:59Speaker 3: back in the day, it was really principles. It was
- 20:01Speaker 3: more rules to a lot of ship A lot of
- 20:03Speaker 3: people was off limits. Niggas didn't really go around do
- 20:06Speaker 3: a lot of dumb ship that they're doing today. A
- 20:10Speaker 3: big difference they getting young, get and young getting dumby
- 20:12Speaker 3: and dumber.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Real ship, I will agree with that.
- 20:16Speaker 1: My brother ship is all that shit aged out now.
- 20:18Speaker 2: I do blame I do blame gang culture for me
- 20:21Speaker 2: being in a chair because I was just outside shaking
- 20:25Speaker 2: my little ass. I ain't even have enough ass to shake.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Motherfucker's on the top. Me and my mother fucking back. Imagine,
- 20:31Speaker 2: imagine do that to see run next thing? You know,
- 20:34Speaker 2: your ass on the ground. But no, for real, I don't,
- 20:37Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't care for crips. That's
- 20:40Speaker 2: really it I got.
- 20:41Speaker 3: I don't care for the music made game culture popping
- 20:47Speaker 3: something snow for real for the West and the music
- 20:55Speaker 3: when the pimps and the crips. It turns out it
- 20:57Speaker 3: wasn't walking with bad when I started off back walking
- 21:00Speaker 3: and all like Jim Jones certified gangsters that was real.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Who didn't want a gang bang? The then Tom go
- 21:10Speaker 1: up you got six nine trade way the old List.
- 21:13Speaker 1: I watched the documentary one time before I ever came
- 21:16Speaker 1: to New York City, and it spout it was the
- 21:18Speaker 1: whole documentary. It's a super low budget. It was about
- 21:20Speaker 1: how blood culture came to New york O. G MAC
- 21:23Speaker 1: maybe that's what it was, and the niggas was like, Yeah,
- 21:26Speaker 1: to get initiated, you gotta like slice a nigga face.
- 21:28Speaker 3: With the races, like they were staying on halloweens just
- 21:31Speaker 3: started on started on rockets that.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Halloween, you have to slice somebody face. That's what they
- 21:36Speaker 2: used to say to be blood. So on Halloween itself,
- 21:38Speaker 2: watch out, watch out for the blade the blood. They're
- 21:41Speaker 2: gonna come cut.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Your face't know what. The funniest shit I never heard,
- 21:45Speaker 1: no bullshit New Yorkers, y'all all, y'all niggas is traumatized.
- 21:49Speaker 1: That's some ship.
- 21:50Speaker 2: You have to realize. We grew up on top of
- 21:52Speaker 2: each other, you know what I'm saying. So it's like
- 21:54Speaker 2: we got the projects. Even if you're not in the projects,
- 21:55Speaker 2: you want the house. The houses are so close to
- 21:57Speaker 2: each it's not like they're like tens of yard. You
- 22:00Speaker 2: go to Virginia, you go to Texas where you're from,
- 22:03Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, And then now it's a
- 22:04Speaker 2: bunch of space. We're all on top of each other.
- 22:07Speaker 2: So now you put us all on top of each other.
- 22:09Speaker 2: You go to the white neighborhoods, they're not near each other,
- 22:11Speaker 2: not at all. They're not near each other whatsoever. Their
- 22:14Speaker 2: neighbor you can see them from a mile down the block. Hey, Chad,
- 22:16Speaker 2: you get what I'm saying. And they know who everybody is.
- 22:19Speaker 2: We know who everybody is. But now we're cousins because
- 22:22Speaker 2: we're fucking each other. You know what I'm saying. Now
- 22:24Speaker 2: this is now this Now this becomes a legacy of
- 22:26Speaker 2: projects because this is how it happens. So now you
- 22:28Speaker 2: got this last name and this last name joining into
- 22:30Speaker 2: one to stay in the project and create a legacy
- 22:32Speaker 2: in the projects. And now they're ruling the projects and
- 22:34Speaker 2: they're taking it over and they're keeping it more ghetto.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Big families. There's always big families in every project. You
- 22:39Speaker 2: go to, any hood you go to, it's a big family.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Because they started, everybody just was on top of each other,
- 22:43Speaker 2: just like that family.
- 22:47Speaker 3: I represent this fan and if you're not like that family,
- 22:51Speaker 3: give it up, crazy, bro. Yeah, it's a territory thing.
- 22:55Speaker 2: And those families always be looking to dirty as soon.
- 22:58Speaker 3: As the various look at look at Brownsville. Ready, I
- 23:01Speaker 3: could come from Suffalow Projects, Cross Street. Hell, no, don't

- 23:26Speaker 3: You in Brownsville project, Chris brownswe you in Van Dyke.
- 23:29Speaker 3: You win til then it's projects a crossty from each other,
- 23:32Speaker 3: and it's territory.
- 23:33Speaker 1: And can I say something, bro? Like the other day
- 23:35Speaker 1: I was talking to this dude. He came here to
- 23:37Speaker 1: do a tour, right. We was talking about New York
- 23:40Speaker 1: and he was talking about, you know, like, you know
- 23:41Speaker 1: I've been here, son, so you know I'm a New Yorker.
- 23:44Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, Bro, Honestly, I met
- 23:47Speaker 1: a place in my life. I don't need to be
- 23:48Speaker 1: a New Yorker. Bro, I really don't, you know, Like
- 23:51Speaker 1: I'm okay being a Southern person that has lived in
- 23:53Speaker 1: New York for a long time, and I think it's
- 23:55Speaker 1: enough to just enjoy New York.
- 23:57Speaker 2: But you're you're, you're what do you call people from Dallas?
- 24:00Speaker 2: In Dallas, I'm just Southern, But you're from you You're
- 24:04Speaker 2: from somewhere already, So why would you want to come?
- 24:06Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 24:06Speaker 1: Yeah, But that's the thing though, Like, and I'm saying
- 24:08Speaker 1: that because like people, it's such a badge of honor
- 24:12Speaker 1: to become a New Yorkers people, right, And I getting
- 24:15Speaker 1: to a point where I realized, like I don't think
- 24:18Speaker 1: I need to be a New Yorker at all, because
- 24:20Speaker 1: I realized the ship that y'all go through, the ship
- 24:23Speaker 1: that y'all been through, Like this ship is so not
- 24:26Speaker 1: like where I'm from, Like people dies, gang violence and stuff,
- 24:29Speaker 1: but it's on a much higher level here. You have
- 24:32Speaker 1: to acknowledge the difference, Like I cannot imagine. That's why
- 24:35Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to have kids here.
- 24:36Speaker 1: And also Dallas, Texas always on first forty eight. Nah, listen, listen,
- 24:41Speaker 1: shit happens. But the ship that y'all y'all grew up in,
- 24:44Speaker 1: I don't I'm outside of you gotta understand, So I
- 24:46Speaker 1: don't heard so.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Many, but it's so many good stories too, you know.
- 24:50Speaker 2: So it's like the trauma part, I mean, and looking
- 24:52Speaker 2: at two of us, we come here talking about our
- 24:54Speaker 2: traumas every day. So it's just like if you see
- 24:56Speaker 2: that part. But it's so much beauty to growing up
- 24:58Speaker 2: and we had the fire, hydrants, you get what I'm saying,
- 25:01Speaker 2: The simplest days we made the best like summers, our days,
- 25:05Speaker 2: our winter we got.
- 25:06Speaker 1: New York in the nineties early two thousands was the
- 25:09Speaker 1: beautiful fire. You didn't have to worry about the shoes
- 25:11Speaker 1: and all that shit. You would have loved it like
- 25:13Speaker 1: it was gangs and all that moving around. But it
- 25:15Speaker 1: wasn't like how it was now.
- 25:17Speaker 3: When the Johnny Pump come around, the same people that
- 25:19Speaker 3: niggas is beefing with today was and the Johnny Pump
- 25:21Speaker 3: playing with each other.
- 25:22Speaker 1: I don't know, bro, I didn't heard stories from niggas
- 25:24Speaker 1: who grew up in the nineties and this shit sounded.
- 25:27Speaker 3: I mean, you had you, yeah, you had your incidence
- 25:29Speaker 3: that was going on in the nineties, but yeah, Brookland
- 25:32Speaker 3: or New York in the nineties was beautiful.
- 25:33Speaker 1: So this is really more the eighties. You're saying like beautiful.
- 25:36Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because like trying to find
- 25:39Speaker 1: the big said the eighties, all I listened to is
- 25:42Speaker 1: New York City music, right that I've always only listened
- 25:45Speaker 1: to New York rap.
- 25:47Speaker 2: That's kind of giving New York.
- 25:48Speaker 1: And now I'm around New York niggas and I asked questions.
- 25:51Speaker 1: But the way New York is now is way different
- 25:53Speaker 1: than it was back in the days.
- 25:54Speaker 3: So all I hear about is crack viles at the park,
- 25:56Speaker 3: Like what the fuck's up about getting money? Back in
- 25:59Speaker 3: the days, but it was it wasn't no violence like that.
- 26:02Speaker 3: There was a lot of drug dealers getting money. It
- 26:04Speaker 3: was violence, but it wasn't like the way it is
- 26:05Speaker 3: right now.
- 26:06Speaker 2: I don't think we defending our city properly.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I don't know, but but everywhere you go, it's something,
- 26:11Speaker 1: it is something.
- 26:12Speaker 2: It's something everywhere. But I just think ours is mostly
- 26:14Speaker 2: from us just being so. And then I felt like
- 26:16Speaker 2: it's like they building building a building next to a
- 26:19Speaker 2: building that just was a building. Then they build another
- 26:21Speaker 2: building next to that building, but then it's like building.
- 26:23Speaker 3: I felt like tours, like when you go to a
- 26:24Speaker 3: different state, you with somebody else, they say the same
- 26:26Speaker 3: thing about these states.
- 26:27Speaker 1: And you know what, And that's the point that I'm
- 26:28Speaker 1: trying to say. Like when I went to Atlanta, they
- 26:31Speaker 1: was like, Nah, you just can't drive around here. People
- 26:33Speaker 1: shoot your car up. Just d bro, Like this is
- 26:35Speaker 1: the thing why you place got some bad ship, yo,
- 26:37Speaker 1: But you got the gun on the lot. I'm like, damn,
- 26:41Speaker 1: Like it's legal to open carry, but you gotta respect
- 26:44Speaker 1: the fact that New York City is different. Like niggas
- 26:48Speaker 1: I went to school with, they died too, you know
- 26:49Speaker 1: what I mean? Like niggas was it's it's crime exists everywhere,
- 26:53Speaker 1: trauma and poverty exists everywhere.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Different. It's like, goam state here, though.
- 26:57Speaker 1: I really I can. As a nigga, I'm not. I
- 26:59Speaker 1: didn't grow up in the suburbs, you know what I'm saying. So, like,
- 27:01Speaker 1: as a nigga who come here, I realized this shit
- 27:04Speaker 1: is different. Bro, It's a different I'm trying to think
- 27:06Speaker 1: of the fucking word. Just like what y'all got to experience,
- 27:08Speaker 1: I didn't have to experience that, Like I didn't have
- 27:10Speaker 1: to worry about like certain blocks and the projects being
- 27:12Speaker 1: over here because of what she just said. Everything is
- 27:14Speaker 1: actually so fucking separated. I would never even run into
- 27:18Speaker 1: certain I get that down to.
- 27:19Speaker 3: It depended on who you are, though, because it's like
- 27:23Speaker 3: my brother, My little brother didn't face nothing peaceful, well,
- 27:27Speaker 3: never no altercations.
- 27:29Speaker 1: I only think that they gave you had to fight.
- 27:32Speaker 1: So it's all depending on who.
- 27:33Speaker 2: You is, too, depending on you. I feel like it's
- 27:36Speaker 2: more so.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Like my little cousin walked the streets like nothing.
- 27:39Speaker 2: But you've got to realize you're you saying, little these
- 27:41Speaker 2: are people that come from you. So like I was
- 27:44Speaker 2: in the streets, my siblings they not. They didn't go
- 27:46Speaker 2: in the streets because of what happened, you know what
- 27:48Speaker 2: I'm saying.
- 27:49Speaker 1: In the streets. But he's nothing. He's not no gang banger,
- 27:52Speaker 1: none of that. But he walked the streets peaceful.
- 27:56Speaker 3: It's a different like me, and his outbringing was different.
- 27:58Speaker 3: I was fighting, damn there every other day. Him they chilling,
- 28:02Speaker 3: they smoking, they playing basketball, no problems, no nothing, That's
- 28:07Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I guess it's depending on the person too.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Like my old cousin, she walked and her mother got mad.
- 28:13Speaker 3: She's like, oh, you're not paying attention to this. In
- 28:15Speaker 3: the third and I was like you can't get mad
- 28:17Speaker 3: at she's just walking the earth peaceful because she had
- 28:19Speaker 3: had phones on and she just walking like she's twenty
- 28:22Speaker 3: she's twenty four. But she's walking the earth like she's
- 28:25Speaker 3: not disturbing nobody. She's not disturbing the earth. So why
- 28:27Speaker 3: would somebody disturb.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Her because she don't got that reference? Yes, as that
- 28:31Speaker 1: like me? Like all right, for instance, what today is Friday? Wednesday?
- 28:35Speaker 1: I had an incident right the instacart came delivered the food.
- 28:39Speaker 3: I met him on the third floor. First, he took
- 28:42Speaker 3: the picture on the first floor and he was about
- 28:43Speaker 3: to leave it. So my wife text him said bring
- 28:45Speaker 3: it upstairs. I meet him on the third fliar, I

- 28:48Speaker 1: He takes it.
- 28:49Speaker 3: I said, don't take a picture of me, bro, just
- 28:51Speaker 3: take the picture. I'm holding the bag and that's it.
- 28:53Speaker 3: He takes the picture and he turns around and start
- 28:55Speaker 3: walking down the stairs. I'm walking up the stairs down,
- 28:57Speaker 3: but I'm distracted. I feel like I'm in my billy
- 29:00Speaker 3: and I got the headphones on. I'm talking to her
- 29:02Speaker 3: same time, I'm scrolling on the other phone on TikTok,
- 29:05Speaker 3: not hearing that the nigga is walking behind me. So
- 29:08Speaker 3: when I get to the fourth floor and I realized it,
- 29:10Speaker 3: I dropped them, like, bro, what the fuck is that
- 29:12Speaker 3: with you?
- 29:12Speaker 1: Bro? Not saying nothing, going off on him.
- 29:15Speaker 3: To a point I snapped back to as if I
- 29:17Speaker 3: was back in six or something, because now I don't
- 29:20Speaker 3: think I see it's right right now, going crazy on.
- 29:23Speaker 3: My little brother came in home, like, yo, what's up?
- 29:25Speaker 3: To a point, I got my hand in his face,
- 29:27Speaker 3: face on the wall. Like his face on the wall,
- 29:29Speaker 3: I said, Yo, why the fuck you follow with me?
- 29:31Speaker 1: Bro? You went from the third to the fourth Nigga,
- 29:33Speaker 1: don't even speak English. You don't English, don't speak English.
- 29:36Speaker 1: But at the same time, help me doing what I
- 29:40Speaker 1: had to battle. It was only one bag. I understand
- 29:42Speaker 1: what you're saying. It was in my hand, you following
- 29:44Speaker 1: me for it.
- 29:44Speaker 3: So you went from walking down the stairs and then
- 29:46Speaker 3: when I spent around and start walking up, you walking
- 29:49Speaker 3: behind me.
- 29:51Speaker 1: So now I'm me and her. It was arguing.
- 29:54Speaker 3: I explained in my building, you could go on the landing. Yeah,
- 29:58Speaker 3: because she said I could have handled it better. It's
- 30:01Speaker 3: past trauma. No, that's not past trauma.
- 30:03Speaker 1: It's it's it's not past trauma. I just feel you
- 30:06Speaker 1: playing with me now, my safety.
- 30:08Speaker 3: It ain't no past trauma, no nothing. Went from walking
- 30:11Speaker 3: down the stairs to walking behind me.
- 30:13Speaker 1: I don't appreciate that. Ship.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Well, don't give him too much. We're gonna save that
- 30:17Speaker 2: for the next episode. These people be playing with you

- 30:22Speaker 1: all like, I will do it to you in this
- 30:24Speaker 1: whole way, Bro, I think it's even beyond that. Like Yo,
- 30:26Speaker 1: in the studio the other day, a nigga was following
- 30:28Speaker 1: me and I checked him before I opened the door.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I said, from here at the other studio, Mitte. He
- 30:33Speaker 1: followed me up the elevator we went to We went
- 30:35Speaker 1: up the elevator together and then I was going to
- 30:38Speaker 1: the It just he was just behind me and he
- 30:40Speaker 1: wasn't saying nothing. He didn't like, oh, like do you
- 30:42Speaker 1: work at WTF? So like I had to catch myself
- 30:44Speaker 1: and I was like, I said what else? I said,
- 30:47Speaker 1: you following me?
- 30:47Speaker 2: Bro? Then New York?
- 30:48Speaker 1: Can you know what I mean? But it's like it's
- 30:50Speaker 1: just some it's a young black man experience where it's
- 30:52Speaker 1: like I got time to take it. I got it,
- 30:55Speaker 1: don't got nothing with being none of that. I got it.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I'm gonna survive. I ain't gonna never let nobody get
- 31:01Speaker 1: up close on me like that. Again, my girls taking
- 31:03Speaker 1: the time that I'm paranoid, and she'd be like, oh,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it's not I gotta tell her. I gotta tell her
- 31:08Speaker 1: tongue like Joyler. We live in America where anything that
- 31:11Speaker 1: could happen has already had, Like you know what I mean,
- 31:13Speaker 1: it's already I just feel like people just got too
- 31:15Speaker 1: much faith in people.
- 31:16Speaker 2: But then it's just also it's also about founding that
- 31:18Speaker 2: happy balance because you don't want to be too paranoid
- 31:21Speaker 2: to where you don't enjoy like the moment in the environment,
- 31:24Speaker 2: and you also don't want to be too laxadaisical to
- 31:27Speaker 2: where something happens to you. And with us being two
- 31:30Speaker 2: people that terrible things has happened to being aware and
- 31:34Speaker 2: when situations happen, I react even differently. And people could
- 31:38Speaker 2: call it with they want pass tumbers or whatever, but yes,
- 31:40Speaker 2: I do have PTSD. So if something is triggering me,
- 31:43Speaker 2: of course I'm going to react in a way where
- 31:45Speaker 2: you get what I'm saying is and.
- 31:47Speaker 3: It's how you gotta know because like I went to
- 31:49Speaker 3: the jay Z concert. I didn't feel no paranoid. I'm
- 31:52Speaker 3: around forty four thousand people.
- 31:55Speaker 1: First fight.
