  Speaker 2: try to intake. I try to make sure that there's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: some you know, something that's other than what everybody else knows.

  Speaker 2: people they oh boy, you heard it, like okay, but
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, instead of me just taking it all in,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: because once I get through looking at all those apps
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and all that information, and I get to taken it in,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and if it ain't good information, that's what I spit
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: back out, you know what I mean. I spit back
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: out the stuff that I intake, and most of that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: stuff ain't good. So half of the time I don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: had any good to say, you know what I mean.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: If I'm all in that app and looking at everybody
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: living their best life.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: You've really been doing the work on yourself. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: when did that start?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: When I went to rehab, you know what I mean.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I kind of like, was like, how many years ago.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Was that three three years April sixteenth?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, third year ye sobriety yeah yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So back when I did that, I was like, you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: know what, I felt like I couldn't do the stuff
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I used to do and get ahead from where I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was at, you know what I mean. So if I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was going to go to rehab, then I was going
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to have to change the women, you know what I mean,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: because all of this stuff went with each other, like
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the drugs, the women, alcohol, this the hanging out, you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, the friends that I chose. So
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I had to cut everybody off. And I love I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: love the people that I cut off. I still think
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: about them and stuff like that, but it hinders me
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to go back and repeat what I already done and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: already see the results for it, you know what I'm saying.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So change the number, got a new phone, got off
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: social media.

• 3:20
  Speaker 2: need to know or I have to do drops, you

• 3:36
  Speaker 3: just don't use it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a designated phone for me. But I have
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to be supervised because if you walk out the room,
• 3:43

• 5:28
  Speaker 2: medicate myself, like I thought was you know, I thought
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that was the way, so that process. What meant like,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you know, well, I'm gonna get your family together, the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: ones who do care, because you know, you would think
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that everybody in your family is on board. That's not
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: true for me, you know what I mean. I don't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: know for anybody else, but everybody didn't believe it. You know.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I had some family members liked it the way I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: was because I gave a lot, you know what i mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: how all the time you could just pretty much take
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: advantage of me, you know what I'm saying. And that
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: was the same thing that went with in public, my friends,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you know people that was around, what could we get from?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And he got a show. Let's everybody pile up. We
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: about to go to the show. He gonna give almost
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: all his money away. You know what I'm saying. We're
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: gonna get high, we're gonna get drunk, and we're gonna repeat,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna do this for what twenty years?
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: You know what was your breaking point?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Well, the repeating of it. And then when I saw
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: my child, you know what I'm saying, and I felt
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: like that's that was a low blow. You know what
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. When I seen my little girl like that,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, I can't tell her not to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: get high. No more. Car I'm still having it in me,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So the best thing I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: could do is just go ahead and change myself. And
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: then she saw it and she actually cleaned them question yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: yeah clean? And uh you know I was talking to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: her the other day, man, and she was just she
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: was in her daughter mode, like you know what I'm saying, Dad,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and I just started crying. I was like, man, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: praised so I wish I could have pressed a button.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a dream. I was like, what
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: did I do to deserve this? You know what I'm saying.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Then I thought about it and I was like, I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: took my mom through the same thing. You know what
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. You have to humble yourself and see what
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you put people through, you know what I'm saying. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: once you see that, you be like, oh, I get it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I needed to learn this lesson, you know what I'm saying.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: But my kid, what you do show up in your kids,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: like the kind of person you are and the things
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that you do. If they're good things, and good things
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to show up in your kid. If they're bad things,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: they're bad things will also.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: So having been through all of these things to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: where you are, do you feel like you waste the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: time when you were, you know, on the drugs and
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: all that stuff, or do you feel like this kind
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: of was a journey that took you to where you're at.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Now kind of in the middle. You know what I'm saying.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Do you remember? I mean, I have a moment? Can

  Speaker 2: and cocaine and weed, and you know what I'm saying,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: that was young people were doing that, you know what
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. Then once I saw that, I was like, well,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: this ain't that, you know, because we used to be
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: at big parties and you know, everything was going on
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and everybody was indulged, and I was like, oh, it's lit.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, It's just everybody just having
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a good time tonight. And you know what I'm saying,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Once I win in that rabbit.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Hole, it just when how old were you then when
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: you when you went there, I.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Want to be I want to say eighteen. I would.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You know what's crazy? I was the same age my
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: daughter was. You know, this is the generational curse thing
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that I broke.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: But then you started making a lot of money. Yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: so now you can support your habit and it gets worse, correct,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: it gets worse.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And you know what I prayed. You know when I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: first wanted to do music, you know, I really asked God.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I was like, I really don't care about money. I said,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I just want to have longevity. And you know, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, but if I don't get rid of
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: this drug habit, I said, it's probably gonna kill me.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying. And it changed. I started
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: morphing with the drugs when something went out of style,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: like when X pills was like popular those became I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: was like, the X pill was just stuff for so
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: much stuff. I was like, okay, this was enough. In
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that time passed then Molly came, you feel me then
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: when Molly came. But and then you know, I spent
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: five years, six years on X pills, like eight years
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: on this and they didn't come to perksn't come to Zans,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: they didn't come to Lean then you know, alcohol, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: we stayed there, you know what I'm saying. So it
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: was just I was just morphing into different druggies, you
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So and by that time, you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I guess you know, God just kept his hand on me.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: You know, because for somebody to survive that, and this
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: goes out to anybody that's using and you still living,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that means that it's still a purpose for you to
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: do because you can overdose.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Do you have any lasting effects, like does like your
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: ReBs heard or do you have like stomach problems or
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I'm good?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Do you have no stomach problems? Like random headaches?
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Did a Rocco ever intervene with your or did he
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: ever say anything?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I hit it from him. I was able to mask it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: like because I thought, well, clothes was my creep out thing,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: like if I got fresh, you know what I'm saying,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Because there's a method behind how I dress. Now you
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying because I saw it in school.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, clothes keep people off from the attention
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: about what's really inside of me. You feel me long
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: as you long, long as you can see me fresh
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and not my interior.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: I was good on that, like a distraction, Like a
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: distraction when people won't expect somebody that's dressed nice and
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: that's room to be heavy on drugs.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Ultimately, that hurt me more than anything because everybody was like, alright,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: he dead fresh, You know what I'm saying. And I
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: wanted that. You know, I didn't want you to look
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: at me any different. You know what I'm saying, because
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I I'll be and I'll say to myself on some
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: arrogant stuff like what she would say, somebody me and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I'm cleaning than you. You know what I'm saying, Like
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: like that, you know what I'm saying. But like the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: way the way it tore up friendships, the way it
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the way I did, you know how like you know,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: breaking girls hearts and lying and you know, lett my
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: mom down, and you know what I'm saying. And people
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I made some people who cared. You know what I'm saying.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: That that was like you know, like Ferrari or somebody
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: that saw me like that genuinely cared that. You know this,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: this guy is tripping, you know what I'm saying. But
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: at the same time, it's other people wanted me in
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that position because it benefited them.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody cares about a rich junkie.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares about a rich junkie if he's good looking.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Now, when you was, when you was doing drugs, did
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: you did you need the drugs to create the type
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: of music that you was making because you putting out
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: a lot of hit records at the time.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: You know, still all to day.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: But I always just wanted the does artists always feel
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: like I need to get high to get in the
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: studio and create this type of music that people are loving.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I think that's that's I think that's the trick that
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the devil has, you know what I mean. He tried
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to convince you that God didn't give you everything that
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: you need to you know, be the best person you are,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and I had to fight with that for a long time. Now,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I do want to say that it did stimulate, you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: my brain and make me you know, think, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: harder and concentrate, because that's just what it is, you
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. But to say that that's true,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: that's not true. You know what I'm saying, Like you
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: have you are equipped with everything that you need to
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: be the best person on this earth that God. You know,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the gifts that God gave you, those are the best gifts,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: not drugs.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: I just seen the famous quote that Wayne May when
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: he put out a documentary. He said, people are telling
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: me to put down the cup, put down the lian
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: and he said, I ain't putting down nothing, because this
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: lean got me more rich and more successful. So I
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: just always thought about there, like for a long time,
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: I'm like, does every artist do drugs?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You know to make this popular music that were listening to.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can lie to yourself, you know, you
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: can a lot to yourself. But the truth is I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: not on drugs now and I do great music, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I would be telling you I'll be lying there. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: did a lot of myself and made me make myself
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: believe that that that that I needed that. But that
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: was the crutch, Like that was the that was the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: move that the devil played. You know what I'm saying,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: you need this, you know what I'm saying you need me,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: you need me, you know, well actually you don't.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Man, Hey, Dree, So one of my favorite songs you
• 19:43

  Speaker 6: a lot of people don't talk about, you know, when
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: you hear people getting shot in all this stuff, because
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: people try to glorify that in the streets, but people
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: don't know the aftermath of what you know, people actually
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: have to go through or getting shot.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see my drug have it burst from then, Like
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I believe because I was on some strong such stuff
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in the hospital, right, and they used to give me
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: this stuff called demarol, and they used to be hit
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: me and then like and I used to be ringing
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the button all the time. And then the lady, the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: lady found that out. She was like, he's addicted, you
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? And I really didn't know. I
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: just kept saying I'm in pain. But most of the
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: time I wasn't in pain. It was just that that
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: stuff used to knock me out. It was opious, like
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So and behold when I
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: got to the hospital and then and and I was
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: asking him, I was like, is y'all gonna give me
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: that that same stuff? They was like, no, we can't
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: give you that, Like on the way out, like we're
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: going to give you some stuff, you know what I'm saying.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: It wasn't it good stuff? So when I got out, man,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I was looking for that too, that high. I wanted
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: something to medicate me because that was addictive to me.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I had addictive personality, like you know what I'm saying,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Like I wanted that fix again. So that's when it
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: burst too. That's when I was like, Okay, when I
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: found something to have me sedated like that on the street,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, what is what it felt like?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So yeah, So by the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: time I met Tip, I was healing up from that,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: But then you went and got to deal with Rocco

  Speaker 2: what I'm saying in so many wait words?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: If you look at it like because I got children
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: to raise, and then for me to be saying, oh
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: you ain't gonna be smoking nothing, and then mama and
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: there like come on, man, I cut it out for
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: my son, you know what I'm saying, So own't on
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: him saying I got this from dad. You know what
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. You know I went through that with my child.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It's just not your preference,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: not my preference.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And everybody got a preference to your preference is polo.
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say, how was Joe the father today?
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: Are you in all the baseball games or at.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: The basketball games?
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: And I had to learn how to be dad and
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: stop wearing jewelry because I used to be culled three
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: four chains on pulling up in these you know what
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. It was like look looking at me, like
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: you just dad today, man. But I had to humber myself.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Stop wearing jewelry to the games, stop dressing up so
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: you know, because sometimes I just go to these games
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: and people be like why, I don't know. I got
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: to learn how to turn it off. So right now
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I'm more conscious about what I let him see, or
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: about my attitude, about what I accept, what I don't accept,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: what's around me. You know what I mean, letting what
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I'm letting him see, what I'm letting him listen to
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, it's different.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Do you see a lot of yourself in him?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of it? And I have to correct it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: And I believe, I truly believe. This is one of
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the reasons why I'm not on drugs because I'm able
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: to see it now. If I was under the influence,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I would let my child grow up to be exactly
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: like me. And that's not the goal.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: So you don't have two kids, I have three. Three Okay,
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: do you see music in their future or anything like that.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: My son is going to be great at something. I
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: think sports, you know what I mean. He's he just
• 40:58
