Speaker 1 (00:01):
Watch up and welcome back to another episode and no
Sillers podcast with your host not funk that with your
low glasses, Malone. So tell me about your story. How
did you go to jail? Finally, I'm really proud of
you all know that sounds crazy, and you should be

(00:24):
proud of Every black person in America should go to jail.
If you're in America and in the country that oppresses
the way you look, everything you do, and you don't
go to jail, that means you wasn't being honory. That
means you were just going like, let me act right, Master,
see me. I don't know, mass I don't want old

(00:44):
man take me down there behind the bars and I'll
be with the people. Does not mean that does not
mean every black person in America should go to jail
at least once. I don't mean like, how were you
just behaving the hole? How could you just be behaving
in this country full of oppression the whole time. That's

(01:05):
like if you was on the plantation and you never
got one whip. You're just doing whatever Master I told you. Here,
you don't down and blow me been obedience. I know
your knees they're red, and blow me show me, and
you're just like, yes, said mass, I don't want that.
I don't want it. I definitely don't want it. I

(01:27):
don't want it. But I I was gonna go to jail.
Tell me, tell me what happened? Was I went out
on uh was it Sunday? I went out on Sunday,
Halloween weekends, the day party and I went to a
day Yes, that's the day apparently, so um, I go
to the day party. We were chilling or whatever. I
was with my best friend and we decided, okay, we're

(01:48):
gonna go to hookah lounge. Go to hookah lounge. I
had a drink, had some hookah liquid courage. Then you know,
I'm like, all right, I'm straight. I'm you know, drink
me some water, ate me some chicken and waffles from
the truck, everything, everything, whatever, And I'm like all right, y'all,
I'm out, like I gotta go to work tomorrow, like

(02:10):
I ain't got time whatever whatever. I get on the
freeway on ship, I was like, oh ship, but I wasn't.
And I was like, when I jail for drinking and driving, bro,
that is not cool. Now it's not coolression or you
thought I was out there fighting. I would have I
would have preferred that. But you know what, though, I'm

(02:32):
gonna be honest with you guys, I am so grateful
that I did not have certain things in my car
that I would normally have in my car, some weed
and my gun. Oh ye chi, I would have been jailing.
I would have everything to jail with them on everything,

(02:52):
Like this was the day and it was crazy because
I was looking. I told Asian, I said, you know,
I was looking. I was like, damn, should I take this?
I'll take my gun. It's Halloween, is gonna be crazy.
I'm like, no, I don't take it so bad, don't
take it. And it's crazy because it was. It was.
It was a Mexican cop and a white lady and

(03:13):
they both I knew when I saw him, I was like,
I'm going to jail. They was just acting like they
was just real bitchy, just real just like no, no, no,
they was about the police. No, no, listen, let me
tell you. It was just the way they were. That's
that's the way that they were though. Like it was
just I knew, like I just knew, like if it

(03:33):
was it was if it was a male officer, did
you pass up? Did you do the test? And everything?
I did everything? I did everything, and it was like
what happened? Had to blow blew over the limit? I
can't even remember what what I blew. I need to
look at my ticket. But anyway, A long story short,
they took my ass to jail and I slept my

(03:55):
ass there and they left me out of twenty like
by like, yo, this is the streets you want right there? Um,
Because when you I've seen the message, it was like,
I'm like, how did I miss this? Yeah? No? When
I text her like, oh I was in jail last night,
she said what as soon as I got I got
it like three hours four hours later, I'm like, oh
my god, lord you I told it. And it's funny

(04:16):
because I was like, damn. I was looking at her
story like oh, she kind of going up, but I
was going up that day. It's because I don't go
dressed like a ninja or something. That's the day, that's
the day, dress like a na. I went to jail
just like a ninja and my boots and wait they
killed let me tell you what else they did. They
fucking cut my straps out, the red straps I had.

(04:37):
They cut all that ship. I'm like, what y'all think
I'm gonna do with the straps? Like not right? Yeah? Really, Oh,
I don't know what They told me to take my
boots off and I went to sell my constume up.
That's fucked up. That's sucked up, man. Yeah, but I'm
not proud of you anymore. You should have went to

(04:57):
jail for that. A d us A ridiculous man, I've
never Yeah, there's no reason she knows, I know. But
it was crazy because because honestly, because I had took
that last drink, I wasn't drinking like that. I don't
even drink anymore. I drinking wine. Now. That's why I'm

(05:18):
so pissed. All the times me and this motherfucker right
here been running the streets partying or whatever, like we
was drinking drinking this night in particular, I wasn't even
drinking drinking in my ask took the jail. I was
hot at myself, like hot, I mean, we already that's done.
We don't your insurance to go up on your like

(05:39):
a motherfucker already know he's a funk up. I'm to
pay show is poor God, But I think every black
person in America should go to jail, like, I genuinely
think for one time, like you should know what the
experience is like. You should have been honorary at some

(06:01):
place to where it was like somewhere along the line
you were built against some system, some situation of oppression
and stood up and been treated like a nigger if
you wasn't. I don't really know what that feels like.
I don't know what that feel like. I don't know
how you live your life being a bit the whole
time before you say you can't be a bit your

(06:26):
whole life. But it's funny, right, I was thinking about that,
like I was going to name an album. You can't
be a bit your whole life. I swear to God,
it can't be a bit your whole lot. I don't
jel is definitely not a place for you don't need
to go. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. M h.

(06:47):
I was you never went to jail. I've been a
jail that. Yes, I'm proud of you. You should have. No,
I did five days and that was that was five days, girl. Damn.
It felt like the longer, the longest. At the longest
you go to jail, you eat fruit. You start eating
apple apples get different. They gave me an orange, peanut

(07:12):
butter and jel. The best thing was that little break.
Two slices of bread, milk and orange juice all the ship.
I don't eat. To make you fool, that's blow up.
I don't eat. I just sat there. It was the
time in my life where I was going to jail
all the time. I probably went to jail somewhere in
the ten or fifteen times. I've never been in prison,

(07:33):
but I used to go to jail all the time.
I had a really difficult relationship with the sheriffs in
my community, and I was selling drugs and they knew
I was selling drugs, and I knew they had to
prove that I was selling drugs. So I was kind
of an arrogant de boy, you know what I'm saying.
I prided myself and your ability to not catch me
selling drugs. I treated my customers with respect so they

(07:55):
wouldn't tell on me. You know. It was a way
I conducted myself so they would catch me put other
people shining on me. It was a game, and I
knew what it was. I respected it um. But they
used to have this thing called ship on a shingle. Oh,
I heard about that. It's like a ground meat and
mashed potatoes and cheese and ship. Yeah. It used to
be crazy. It was good. It was good. I used

(08:19):
to tell me all the time when I would be
in the county, like, don't drink the juicer to make
you stir. Really. Yeah, they called it Jim Jones had.
I think it was like a grape. It was like
a grape or maybe like an orange. It was orange
juice and a little carton. Yeah. I had orange juice
and the milk. None of the stuff drink. Yeah you
ate that, didn't You should have stayed to drinking all that.

(08:41):
Shouldn't eat everything. I was. I just fruit tastes different
when you get the jail. You get the jailboy, you
have another appreciation for fruit because the food they'd be
trying to serve you be like, I just need to
eat this album take you a while before you And
then it was like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
But everything was like it was. It was like the
bread was separate in Oh, mine was the I had
peanut butter and jelly and like little packets, but that

(09:03):
the bread was separate girl. That was it was a blur.
Did y'all ever buy that peanut butter and jelly stuff together? When? Yes, yes,
I like that. So you like your peanut butter coat.
I do. It was good. The only thing I didn't
like my dad. He bought the you know, we would

(09:24):
get that and then he would be like, don't mix
it up, like keep it separate. Like I'm like, hell,
that's what we pointed for. Like that's what we bought
it for. Like why different tastes? Why were like, it's different.
We're supposed to just be able to like scoop it
on together. Want to take the peanut butter, take a

(09:44):
little bit, don't want to mixed together. Actually he bought it.
He bought it first one with Yeah, that was a
bad idea. I don't think we ever got anymore after that.
It wasn't it's it's a different taste. It's not like,
O G peanut butter and jelly and I make the
bomb peanut butter and jelly. You gotta have it on

(10:04):
the right bread. And I got a secret bread. Oh
gosh that don't brown your own peanuts up, na. But
the bread is really good. It's this maple brown sugar bread.
R Tiana. It's get so now they got this maple
brown sugar bread right, And then I like under peanut

(10:27):
butter with underrated like when you when you make sandwiches
and things. I don't think people get crazy enough with
the bread. Like I think that's the real trick. You
can only do so much to the middle of a sandwich.
Cover like the more bread you start trying, like marble
rise and ship as you know, when you grow up
where we grow up at it ain't it's just white
and wheat like bad. I just like wraps. The grand was.

(10:51):
She was always into bread. Sour though. That was my favorite.
Sour doughs, croissans, she like ry like um, she like
the ones that have all the all the stuff in it. Yeah,
I forgot, I know what you're talking about. The grain. Yeah,
that like that. And then my mom she loves her some.
Um what's that David's bread. Yeah, that's that's that's stuff.

(11:15):
That's yeah. I'm good, I'm good. Just just give me
some about Did I tell you about my silly No,
the silly I can laugh about this ship now, but
motherfucker was not laughing in them. No. I don't know
she was crazy though. She said she was in there. No,

(11:37):
she was cool. She was like, oh, it's your first time,
but you and your friend told her. She was like, oh,
they don't let you in a couple hours, you'll be
all right. And she was like yeah. She started pacing
the fucking um cell. I'm like, what the funk. She
had no shoes on, she just had socks on. And
she was like, yeah, I have a UM what's it called?
What was it called? Um? She said, Oh, she's had

(11:58):
a restraint or owner. She had stattard, she violent and
restraining order. Yes, she stabbed her boyfriend. Yeah. That's the thing.
When you go to jail, you meet motherfucker's that usually
know everything about jail and criminal cases and ship and
you'll be thinking to yourself, like, why is you in this? Motherfucker?
If you know better, nig went to jail like yeah,
oh that ain't nothing like because you should be a lawyer, right,

(12:24):
why are you in here? Everything? I don't know everything?
Oh that's what you gotta do. You gotta foul this paperwork, bro,
Why do you know all this? Nigga been in just
whole life. I think that there should be a real
first to hold up no seilings, gl what's happening? The
jail bird bread was happening, Welcome home, free bread, the

(12:45):
free brid t shirts. Um, we should create a program
where people who like be in jail for twenty years
and might be studying their cases, then be all in
the law library. Then nigger should be able to go
from jail right into law school. You know what I actually, Um,
I have a cousin, UM cousin in law. He did

(13:08):
like fifteen or sixteen years and he got out and
he's a paralegal. That literally should be a transition. It's
so many great ideas that I have to transition street
ideas into professional ideas. And because those programs don't exist.
You know what I'm saying, people don't know, Like, but
some of the smartest people and the most creative and

(13:30):
talented people are in jail. Like I used to be
doing cutting hairs with razors and combs. Fade like triple phase,
the best fade you've ever had in your life. You
see them doing be cooking all kind of stuff you
know's and you get to see how creative may be
coming up with her hair. I'm like, damn, you get

(13:54):
to see how creative Brothers really is. Yeah, um, so
this is this one of them. Weeks we don't run
like it's fair to say, we don't have a daily idea,
a daily podcast, weekly podcast. But every now and then
events inspire a conversation. Um, we've I think we've had

(14:19):
a conversation about some things. But I think senseless violence
is a title that's used entirely too much. I think
senseless violence, right is, is an overused idea. You hear
a lot about senseless violence. M h all. You hear

(14:39):
senseless violence every time somebody on the outskirts labels some
ships senseless violence. Um, I don't know if it's a
reflection of the truth as much as people are just
ignorant to the conflict. Because to me right now, Russia

(14:59):
and you crane that ship is senseless violence, and America
is fighting. It's funding a senseless violence fight to me,
based off if, I can't make sense of it. But
since it's kind of all perspective, right, I don't. I
don't know. Do y'all understand? Do y'all know the story
of why the sixties and the eight Trades are fighting?

(15:21):
All the crips and a trade crips are fighting right
now currently just that forever beef. Well, yeah, because as
people die, it creates a a lifelong dysfunction between two communities,
you know, as as a as a as a Um,
how do I say this? It's almost like you bread

(15:46):
like the half feeling McCoy's, you know, I mean you
heard of that before, right, half feeling McCoys is two
families to all white families been beefing forever because somebody
I sunk over. So when somebody get killed, it creates
a blood line like a lineage of Hey, um, sometimes
we can resolve them. Japan and America, it feels like
it's been resolved since Pearl Harbor and then you know,

(16:08):
America dropped those two nuclear bonds on them. But there's
always an underlining thing. Um, the sixties and the trades,
the sixty rolling sisty crips, the trade cribs. Their beef
goes back to a simple a situation between a simple
fight between two young guys over a disagreement. Some says
over a girl. Um, I think Rick Hardeman, I think

(16:30):
that's Tyrone. Tyrone Hardeman. Big Rigg is the legendary dude
from out of the area. It was his younger brother,
and it was a guy named Fatty out of the
eight Trades. I think Fatty's alive too. I was talking
to one of my partners. They were fighting over a
disagreement they would meet up to handle day, you know,
um differences, you know, physically, like, okay, we're gonna fight

(16:52):
it out to see who's makes the most sense. Sometimes
the physical explanation is need. This is a normal thing
that happens between communities. Sometimes they settle it physically, you know, Okay,
a guy who's not necessarily a lifelong person from either community,
you know who just start rolling with the trades. He's

(17:14):
there and he mistakes the situation of the fight, pulls
out a gun and kills Tyrone from you know, from sixties,
sixteen year old kids. It's somebody's younger brothers, somebody's kids son.
This is somebody's friend, kids, friends, a lot of people
in that age group, right, this is a seventy nine,
So everybody run. You know, this is kind of like

(17:37):
new say, people shooting, but this is not normal, amos kids. Um.
Later on they tried to meet up to figure it out,
and you know, they just wanted the person who actually
killed Tyrone. It's like, man, let us just get him.
We you know, we need justice. Let's get him, and
you know, it's resolved. They trades didn't really know him

(17:59):
like that. They didn't his mother, that he's not a
lifelong guy that grew up in their community. He's just
some guy that they allowed to currently start rolling with them.
And because they couldn't find an amicable solution, you know,
passion got worse and worse, and they couldn't find a
solution that was fair, and eventually, you know, tempers overflown

(18:20):
and somebody got shot. Motions went too far. I couldn't
find a solution. Somebody got shot. So now with somebody
from sixties dad, somebody from a trade that people like shot,
somebody from sixties died that people like, and somebody from
a trade that people love got shot. And now you
have this situation to me, that makes sense now the

(18:42):
initial killing sense that don't make sense. It's just a
way that these communities solve their issues all the time.
That specific thing, you know what I mean, I don't get.
But now after that I can understand how it starts
to unfold. So I don't call all violence between sixties

(19:04):
the Rolling sixty crips and there gangsty crips. Senseless Certain
situations don't make sense, but some of them I understand.
Where do y'all stand in that term senseless violence? How
do you feel about it? Do you understand any like?
I know you're not necessarily you're not gang members, but
I'm sure you've heard, you've seen ship happened between men.

(19:26):
Where has the violence ever made sense? Has the fight
ever made sense? I lost my brother to me, I
felt it was senseless violence. Um, you know, rest in
peace in bound? Um. He was shot just coming out
of a store, you know what I mean, go in
his car, about to go to the studio. You know
what I'm saying. In m No, it was like nothing

(19:51):
like everybody was just like, oh, another man, you know shot?
Oh but it's yeah, it's crazy, um because that said
it was over a girl. It was so many different
there were so many difference. I'm gonna tell you, UM,
I don't know where he was from, but I know
that he associated itself with um let's um like um Englewood.

(20:14):
But I'm not I don't know. I just know that
I wasn't doing Yeah, I don't know what quite happened.
I just know that he was at a strow with
his friends. He was going to get him some blunts
and he was headed to the studio and he got killed.
UM two and UM think yeah. So for me, like

(20:40):
I don't, I just don't get it at all, like
you know, but I'm a I'm a INNC advice center
outside looking in. So I just see my brother gone
for nothing like That's how I look at it, what
I'm saying. But mm hmm, senseless violence would be the

(21:05):
fourth show you cried don't cry up so rest in
peace to take off. I'm I'm bringing this up because
I say it's senseless to me because I feel like
y'all got all this money, but you're gambling. See But okay,
so what I don't want to do. And we don't

(21:25):
really know what happened. We don't know what happened. But
I'm but what was said, But don't don't. I'm gonna
tell you I should never ever go by that because
you don't. We don't really don't know. All we know
somebody said, well, this is what happened, but that could
have been a person that's putting together a play to
distracted police. What I'm saying, like, I don't get into that.

(21:48):
I just say it's it's senseless because he was just
from what I've heard, is he was just having the
back of his his family member. You know what I'm saying,
Like for whatever jumped off. I mean, if that was

(22:09):
Bret and something was going on, like I'm going to
have her back, but he end up losing his life
from something that could have probably been prevented. You know
what I'm saying. I think that if instead of um,
we don't know what happened, but to where it got

(22:29):
to the point where now you guys are shooting, that's senseless.
It's like, why can't we just have a disagreement or
argument or whatever the case is without the gun violence,
Like that's senseless to me. For me, like even in

(22:50):
the moments like these where people close to me died
and friends died, I can't get into why human beings,
you know what I mean, Like, um, why do human
beings escalate their situations? Let me get rid of crime.
Goddamn grown up? Now? Just the case tis No, I'm

(23:25):
not I'm for real. I'm saying, do you guys understand war?
I don't do you at all? Do you think there's
a reason to fight? Yeah, I think there'll be reasons
to fight, but the gun the killing though, But I
get you could die getting beat up too. You could

(23:47):
die getting beat up to or fighting or anything. You
can get pushed down the wrong way, hit your head whatever.
But oh man, yeah, I believe in you know. So
do you believe there's that for a reason to kill? Yeah?
If you gonna defend yourself, sometimes you may have to.
But what kind of defense are you? A? Stay in

(24:08):
your ground? Like, let's say it's a girl read with
bread with you like five five five four three, okay
you five one. Let's say you got your pistol, won't
you right in the car and it's a girl six
ft two trying to fight you and she whooping on
your ass. Yeah, And let's say she's whipping on your

(24:29):
ass because her boyfriend winked at you, Like the boyfriend
winked at you. And she's like, yeah, bitch, you think
my boyfriend winking at you, Like, that's not my fault,
that's his fault. And she's like, not, bitch, we need
to get out. And you're like, man, I'm not trying
to fight you, And this is six ft one lady
six ft two ladies, she a foot taller than you're
trying to fight you? Is that a reason to pull
out your gun? And she beat my ass? I'm a shooter? Sorry? Real?

(24:54):
Is that senseless? I'm sorry, I'm I'm not gonna kill her,
but I'm holding it is senseless? Could it is senseless?
Is that senseless? She getting her? Ask what? She getting her?
Ask what? And a fair fight against somebody's foot taller.

(25:16):
So there's nobody there to break it up, like the boyfriend.
The boyfriend keep trying to break it up, but the
big old lady pushed the boyfriend out the way too,
and just squa protecting yourself. I'm protecting So you can
make sense of that. Listen, let me tell you something.
I'm not trying to get what you're doing. I get
what you're doing because I'm trying to put you into

(25:38):
the position of why people get shot. I get it,
and I totally get it that you need to be
talking to your man. Don't be over here, word out where? Yeah,
because he said, Dann, you didn't, I say, that's where
you don't? You trying not to put yourself in situation.
That's why I can happen. Can happen? Ship, She can
happen for sure? The head up fade like you know what,

(26:01):
it's just one of hurts me and her. Definitely, I
was taught to pick up whatever the funk you can
she squabbing up? Hey, she squabbed me up. Okay, I
don't know. Might might be what I'm saying. But if
she beating as to wear like you're gonna, I mean,
you don't know if you're gonna really die, but you
just get yours. But that's the thing. And if a fight,
your adrenaline is going everything is you don't know this

(26:23):
person is whipping on asks like that to where I'm saying,
you have the motherfucker on you, right and I have
it on me. That's the whole thing. Is it's senseless
or can you make sense of it? I can make
sense of it. I can make I can make sense,
can make sense of it? Question to my world? No,
for real, Ship, I understand, Like I'm not saying that

(26:43):
there's no reason for you know, for you to have
to get get down like that, but damn that just
that worst senseless. That's why you did this. I see
what you're doing. Definitely, what I did it for yes,
how do you make sense of it? Right? And that
is my point, Like, I think it's such a perspective
word and we're so quick to label something, and I

(27:05):
think we're choiceless in the matter and having people mislabel. Really,
people are ignorant to what's going on. Like if you
listen to white people talk about gang violence right of people,
that's not in even a lot of Black people today
who don't grow up in those communities. It's like you
can't make sense of it. Just say, I'm ignorant to
what's going on. That's the thing about even rest in

(27:28):
peace to take off. We're ignorant. We don't have any details.
We have bare minimum details. We have a lot of
we have a lot of fluff, but we have visual
footage that's super inconclusive of what happened. Now, I'm not
saying that no way did that little young nigga deserved
to pass away. I don't quite know what happened. And

(27:49):
I hope he would not do something that would make
him put himself in a position where somebody would take
his life. This is a wealthy, young god young brother,
so I will hope he wouldn't. But I am not
going to jump off of that cliff and say it's senseless.
I'm not going to mislabel something or label something in
being ignorant. I don't know. So that's why I'm careful

(28:14):
when I said I don't know what happened. So now
if it does come out that he was they were
planned dice or whatever, whatever, is that senseless. I don't
know how I need to know what happened, like right,
uh um. There are certain situations that will get you shot.
Well a lot of people, I mean, should I don't
shoot dice, but I hears the person. You know, you

(28:36):
don't shoot Dice when my shot. I don't think he did.
A people have gotten jack and robbed for stuff like that.
So I mean, jazz Prince Party is a jazz It's
Jazz Prince Party. I know that for sure. And that's
a high profile party. It's very private. It's only gonna
be some certain type people in there. So I don't
think it's hard for the strangers or people that you

(28:56):
don't think about the kid we're So that's why it
just made me think of this conversation. I just noticed
everybody jumped off and talked about rapper hip hop because
of this nigga profession. If a doctor goes to a
fucking bar and gets into a fucking fight with somebody,

(29:19):
you know what I mean, and somebody slumped the doctor,
You're not gonna call the profession of being a doctor
into question. I don't care if three doctors got killed
in the same week, nobody's gonna be like, oh, man,
being a doctor get you killed. Yeah. It's a lot
of people in the perfect a lot of rappers or
a lot of people that are in um the business

(29:41):
that are saying that, like, oh you know, um this
is rapp is rap? Is this what are you saying?
Like the hardest job in the world. It's the most dangerous,
not just something. What was that designer? Okay him too,
and then literally was so upset when what funny is?

(30:03):
I was upset when takeoff pass away and I heard
that information. When I saw his video, I was even
more upset. I was so frustrated with him, like, what
the funk are you this weird? I'm not even get
into this word ass culture going on. Man, I gotta
talk to designer in person. I know some people that
know because but that was not cool. I hated that
stupid ass video. Bro, you are doing to fun That

(30:27):
ship is dumb. Get off the net because I understand
none of that, but I don't want to talk about that.
So what I'm saying is being a rapper is not hard.
You could just wrap the ship you want to talk about.
You may be held accountable. That's the problem, the ship

(30:48):
you're talking about. You may be held accountable. Somebody told
me they was talking about Little Extent. You know his music.
I'm like, I saw this nigga antagonizing a nigga from
San Diego name Stone. He's antagonizing this nigger. He puts
his mom address hunt in the internet. He makes songs
this is nigga and thank he for the doing show
in San Diego. And then that's if you're seeing a video.

(31:10):
He got knocked out on stage. Niggas was surprised, like
he got doping. How could you be surprised if you're
talking ship and you go to a nigger town and
the nigga knock you out, it's nothing to be surprised about.
You gotta know how this ship go. Um. And he
was saying he felt his music and I'm like, his
music did draw that kind of interest. He was talking
about Drake this nigga is. People want to say, this

(31:35):
is this weird unstreet thing, and I'll say, it's like,
y'all main stream America shit, because I don't know what
the fun is going on, because that y'all think y'all
should be ab to say what y'all want to say
to people and don't be held accountable. It's a weird thing,
like when you might have to actually defend your thoughts.

(31:55):
Somebody may come to challenge you on your thoughts. Physically,
people feel like if they're witty or wild. You know,
I'm only using my words. Well, some people are physically gifted,
like you could be intellectually gifted. Somebody else can be
physically gifted. So you know, they was talking to me
about Draco. Draco with Draco sist that ship is not senseless. Yeah,

(32:19):
I can make sense of this ship. You can't be
doing some of this ship, and thank you, you're not
gonna have to run into a problem. This the ship,
we say, And that's the thing that we all understand.
When you within the culture, you know, if you say
something about the nigger, if I say some ship about Snoop,
I might have to run into snoop. There was a
time we had this movement called the New West Movement,

(32:42):
and this movement was pro us, but it came across
anti legends. I knew how it worked. I knew if
I ran into any of them legends. Well, I was thinking,
whatever they was gonna say, it was gonna come with fists.
We ain't gonna argue with the eight if it's not

(33:02):
you know, sensible, right off the whip. It's a fight
right with a gun in my back pocket, just in
case niggs get funny. The streets teach you to be
accountable for what you say. Only in main stream America
do you think you can say what you want to say?
And then when somebody do something to your bow? Senseless violence?
White people do it all the time. Maybe they call

(33:22):
you a nigger and be surprised. You ever seen the
videos they call somebody you're fucking nigger, You get pep,
why don't you hit me? And then it'll be like
senseless violence, Right, that's not sense. You gotta handled. That's
what happened. If you call somebody a bit, what people
think with words words that on me. I didn't put

(33:43):
my hands on you, exactly like you gotta start to fight.
You should have exactly, you should have wait for nobody
come swing on you. I never called a nigga bit.
I never called the nigga bit. I just if I
thought he was a bit, I'm gonna beat your money,
have words. I was. I just fun because if I

(34:04):
need to call you a bit, I'm gonna show you
a bit. I don't got to say nothing. You get
the point. I was the one that I never wanted
the first punch either that ever gone? So at which place?
Where is it? That? So the concept of senseless violence,

(34:28):
like I said, it's very um. The idea of senseless
violence is very a perspective based thing. You have every
mainstream American saying, oh it's violence and hip hop, it's senseless.
But they're broadcasting the news in Ukraine and Russian and
like they're not calling it a senseless war. Like right now,

(34:50):
you got that little short man over there, North Korean,
a little midget dude. Dude is tough. I ain't gonna
take ship that he get cracking. He's a he's a fool.
He just ly your mom. They're like senseless and I'm like, no,
y'all fucking with that man? We are trying to tell
that man what he can and can't do, and that
man showing you, I'm a grown ass man, I'm gonna
do what? Then I want him alone because they don't care,

(35:14):
don't And why shitty, that's just fun? Why are you?
Why are you coming to my house telling me what
doing my house? And and and you don't tell nobody
like that what to do. You just knew them and
deal with the consequences you feel. It's certain people you
just take off feel me, and and then whatever happened happened.
You don't try to go You can't because they all

(35:35):
try to say you you can't negotiate with tears. So
why you negotiate with a terrorist and not terrorists in
the way we used with somebody that's telling you you
can't tell me what to do. I'm a grown up.
I'm not with your program. I'm gonna do my own things.
So either you gonna go all the way or shut
the funk up. Ain't no middle ground. And that's the

(35:55):
thing about punk ass culture. Punk ass it's a punk
ass culture. That's what mainstream has. A punk ass culture.
Their punks a bunch of motherfucker's that want to say
what they want to say and don't want to deal
with what that man coming from it. Say what you say,
stand on your ship. If y'all threatening that little dude
over there, ship and he doing some ship showing, see
what the fight come with if not shut the funk up.

(36:18):
They did that whole thing with the little other white
men over there in Russia. If y'all start a fight
with them, is it? Uh Biden? That was the whole
he did. He the worst kind of honey, do all
that talk and then the fight start. You don't do nothing,
you over there being a mark, you're doing that. You
wouldn't threatened me and said, well if you if you
do something that we're gonna stay, we'll get cracking. He did,

(36:39):
called your blood supplies over there. Now y'all gonna have
That's some mark. That's just shut the funk up. You
could have just shut the funk up and just saying supplies.
But again, it's a world that's happening, and it's a
weird thing that's happening in mainstream culture as well. It's
a whole thing of trying to look good. People are
exerting energies, trying to look like a good person. Everybody

(37:01):
wants to say the correct thing. There's a huge business
model right now going on on white guilt. People making
white people guilty to get money for themselves. White guilt
is big business. Sound crazy, I know, coming from trust me,
White guilt is a huge business right now. They got
the white folks investing all kind of badass idea talking

(37:23):
about this black people and these niggas ain't black and ship.
These niggas ain't nowhere other culture for the culture. They
just got to paint job. They ain't not gonna do
nothing for another nigga that looked like them. So again,
it's one of those things where we hear that term
senseless violence. Senseless violence, senseless violence if you maybe you're

(37:49):
ignorant and the best thing you could do is shut
the funk up or get informed. Stop just running around here.
Paint in the narrative. You know, you're running around this
motherfucker's screaming all your rappers. It's hard, I mean, but
they just all repeat after each other though, So I
mean that's just like, um, they'll post a story, they

(38:14):
just go off. They don't have any facts, and so
they just go off of what this person said and
what this person said. Who was that the e they
posted post offset instead of takeoff? Right? So they how
do you do? Yeah, they're not, you're not. It's just okay,
this like they look alike they because to them is

(38:37):
because to them, it's nothing but news. They don't know.
They're just like this might be popular. If we talk
about this, everybody gonna watch. So they're thinking of, yeah,
so what I would like to see happen, which is
not gonna happen, but I would like to see it happen.
Is a lot of times you stop miss labeling things

(38:57):
if you don't really care about what's going on in
these communities. Sure, sure you can write it off gang violence.
It's ignorant. I don't it's stupid. If you don't care,
shut the funk up, like you know why? You know
why I don't go around labeling the war in Russia
with Ukraine senseless because I don't give a funk to

(39:19):
find out why them crackers is fighting. I don't care,
So I'm not gonna be like, hey, the senseless war
over there in the Ukraine and Russia. I think I
don't care to make sense of it. I don't care
to make sense of it, so I shut the funk up. Well,
I don't know what people fighting right now? Israel been

(39:40):
fighting against them people over there, the Jewish and the
Muslim people fighting right now over that look country the
whole time. They fight like a motherfucker. I could jump
up and said, senseless. Oh it's senseless. Look at you guys.
I don't know what y'all fighting over all? Right? They
fighting over something in the Bible. Weird people they're talking
about in the Bible. I'm not even to entertain that
ship talking about old b they talking about. I don't

(40:05):
understand christ I don't understand them. I've been fighting this long.
What are they fighting over? How long the people been
fighting over there? Then? People been fighting right now going
on years ago. How long we've been fighting against motherfucking
what's the people that bombed the towers that they ran
the planes into the towers. Caliban they just shot a

(40:29):
niked from there the other day. They just flop did
a fly by on it and didn't Bright's crazy. I
thought he pulled the troops. He said that was it.
Them them dudes to a whole. They knocked somebody off, right,

(40:51):
This was this year. They knocked the dude off and
then did a motherfucking show, a TV show. They came
and took over. The announcement was like, yeah, we're not
team off. We're gonna show you if you played with America,
don't care how long we take, We're gonna get you,
and didn't trying like they don't understand this cripping. How
don't you understand this cripping? You understand if you got

(41:13):
an enemy they bombed Joe Towers you you could take
twenty years to get him back. How you don't understand
this cripping nigga shot my partner. If it's twenty years, Laddin,
I get him my getting right, y'all did't mean like
we need to lock him up. Oh you know what,
we need to set together a play to go into
his country and getting put in prison. No, you sent
the jets, y'all did a drive by. Yall did a

(41:33):
fly by nas and they didn't even send nobody. They
sent the drones. They didn't even a cow. They just
sent the drones and didn't try to get on TV
bragging about that whole ass ship. I didn't know they
did that though, that's crazy, got on TV and was
bragging about it that old man up there body every
bit of a hundred and twelve. Yeah, you know, you

(41:56):
can't play with America. Sometimes I go back and listen
listen to those Ronald Reagan like promos. He was cutting
like a wrestler talking about Libya, and he was like, yeah,
you can't mess with America. Yes, and try to don't
understand it's cripping. What do y'all think y'all doing? Y'all
is America crips tripping on North Korea blood. The only

(42:22):
difference is y'all is fake. Y'all get in front of
all these other people and be trying to act like
y'all good, but in real life y'all with all of
the same bullshit. So do we call what? Do we
what is? What is sensible about violence? If you just
said the lady was fighting your head up, she'll whooping
your ass, I mean she's whopping your ass. Brick, she
cleaning you, whooping your ass. She might get shot and

(42:49):
then she could bleed out and die. Right, she might
bleed and die artery but bad neck. So imagine the
judge get up in there and he fin assented you
for manshlaughter like that senseless act of violence. You look
like this big old bitch was Do you mean senseless?

(43:12):
That's how I feel when you just jump off the
cliff and you say some ship senseless, that you don't
know what the fund is going on. That's the problem
right now. When this motherfucker man were so fast to
act like we know what's going on. You got all
these motherfucking SVU detectives on the Twitter and Instagram nigga
solving the crime. Bitch, you don't. You are in the

(43:33):
wrong job. Are you a blogger? I know what happened.
They were fighting over a dice game and this guy
is his own partners shot. That's exactly what it was
that they said he got hit from. They don't know.

(43:57):
But I don't believe none of that ship because you
know why they nigga that. First off, if a nigga
that shot him, if I shot him, I'd be trying
to disseminate bad information to they say this happened. I
don't know what happened. I'm not gonna jump off and
say it's senseless. I do regret the violence. I wish
take off. That's a really talented person. I think he

(44:17):
had a lot to offer the world. For me, and
I hate that his contributions is over, and I celebrate
his life and everything I was learning about him as
it was happening. I'm grateful for that. That's where I
focus at. I don't focus on trying to debate should
a motherfucker had got shot? Because I don't know what
the motherfucker did. Let me say, he could have been
whipping bread ass. Right, it's crazy because today, like I

(44:41):
don't know, have an issue with Okay, when I was
telling you about my brother, right, one of the biggest
things that I could not understand. You know, when you
deal with a death, of course that's already crazy enough,
but for it to be like highly publicized, for it
to be on the news so have all these things.

(45:01):
I had so many people hitting me, my brothers um
people up, like telling them all these different stories. Like
she was saying, I heard it was over a girl.
I heard that he was here and there or we
and we still don't. I still don't. You don't know,
like our family, this is my brother's death is still unsoft. Okay,
they put out a reward everything, So I'm not trying here, Yeah,

(45:25):
I'm not trying to hear. I'm not trying to hear. Yeah,
they were saying group members did it. They were saying
all kind of crazy ship. And my thing is like,
we can't. We can't even sit here. And before so
I man prayers to take off in the family because

(45:46):
like I can't. All that's right, right. So again, it's
one of those things to where we don't always have
to judge it something eyes We could just mourn a loss.
We don't always have to make something happened in America
where we have to make everybody a victim. Some people

(46:07):
had this ship coming. I don't know which one of
these motherfucker's, and then we could debate what had it
coming means. In my book, if you suck my motherfucking
old lady, you gotta coming right now. If you don't
know me, that's different. If you know me, you old lady,
you get shot. Just count your fucking days. That's mine.
Some people think that's crazy. It makes sense to me

(46:30):
because I'm not running around trying to sleep with nobody,
old lady. I think people do ship on purpose to
funk with your inner spirit, and I think you should
rock the outer soul. When they do it with your
inner spirit, you should rock the out of soul when
somebody's trying to shake you at your core to destroy
the things you hold the most valuable. I need to

(46:50):
show you. I need to I need to give it
to you in a way you're gonna feel because if if, if, if,
if your inner spirit didn't feel like ship for doing it,
I need to rock your outer so or I need
the rock Hill presence on this earth because we got
misunderstanding about what's happening. So I just I think again,
it's one of those things where we rush to just
label something senseless because we can't make sense of it. Okay,

(47:14):
if you're not going to get the facts, let's go
get the facts. Let's go get the facts and then
see if it makes sense. But put yourself a certain positions.
Now again, this conversation is gonna fall on some death
is because some people just bitches. They've been holds their
whole life. They will never stand up for theirselves. They
don't know what it's like to have to stand up
for yourself. They don't know what it's like to be

(47:36):
in these places where mother Funcker's really will just target
you if you won't stand up for yourself. The one
thing about being a cript that people I tell people,
but still always makes fun of me. Like last you
talked about cripping in this positive manner, and I'm like, no,
it's not. It's it depends on the person. I mean.
It could bring out the worst and some people, and

(47:58):
it could bring out the best and some people. Cripping
brought out the best in me. It brought out the
worst in others. It bought out a reason for people
to fail. It brought out the people, a reason for
people to oppress other people. To me, it brought out
the masculinity. It brought up a stand up person, a
person who will just die for his beliefs and find
values in life and really respect his friends and care

(48:19):
about Black people. That circumstances don't match minds. If I
would have never gained made my mom I lived in
the forums in Compton. My dad had a house on
the seven. They both owned their houses. My mom I
had a pool and Compton I didn't have to see.
You know, I wasn't a poor kid at my mom's house.
I think that my dad's I realized we was poor
and I didn't know it because we ate every night

(48:41):
and nobody was on drugs. But again If I didn't
have cripping as that experience, I would never be able
to connect with brothers who experiences are completely different than minds.
I would never have an empathy to know my homeboys
lives is different. Little Jay free my way, Little Jay.
You know I'm saying scaff His life is differ. His
grandparents raised him. I mean the streets took him early

(49:03):
motto Psycho rest in peace. My homeboy, like his mother,
you know, battle drugs, addictions, I mean his father. I
didn't see his father. If he was around, I didn't
know fear me. He didn't have what I had. So
he fought his whole life to the day he died.
He fought every day. He died at twenty three. M
h feed me. He fought his whole life to just

(49:25):
thrive and survive. So for me to judge somebody like
that and never I would have never knew what it
was like to be him, or even what he was
going through. If I wasn't a cript, it would have
been a separation. I would my parents would have kept
me away. I would have never seen it, and I
would have been talking like most of these people talk.
Oh you know, yeah, yeah, Well everybody could do what
I did. Know, everybody don't got what I got. Everybody

(49:46):
have good Boy. Everybody didn't have Olivia. Everybody didn't have Renee,
they didn't have Robert Poole, didn't have older brothers, they
didn't have what I had. I mean, and then whatever,
God bless me, what up top of this motherfucking army.
So it's one of those things to where cripping can
bring out the worst in people, and it can bring
out the best in some people. And I'm one of

(50:07):
the people it brought out the best in. We're looking
