I got to go to the women's rugby game and
I watched them when they bronze, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And there right after the game.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Then the whole team came up to the suite to

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I love celebrities having you know, crushes on other celebrities
like that.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
I appreciate.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Let me take it. Let me let me take you
way back and get your opinion.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
We talk about time, about a life in different twists
and turns and whatnot regards to which way you could go.
I know, back in your day, you dropped out of
high school, right, and you and and and you you
ran into some trouble a little bit with the law,
and all of a sudden, then you went to culinary school,
I believe, right, and and then you met you met
Chuck D. And then from meeting Chuck D, everything kind
(07:42):
of went on to public enemy fame and whatnot. So
isn't it crazy looking back in those days that you know,
one wrong turn or if you didn't get in trouble
and you didn't go to culinary school, you may never
met Chuck, You may never be where yet today. So
isn't it crazy looking back those third forty fifty years ago?
And my God, like, look what happened in my life
(08:03):
on the company's turns I took.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Hey, well, let me tell you like this, man, You know,
every day is going to always be a life learning
lesson man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And the past is.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Responsible for our future, you know what I'm saying, in
the whole nine And I thank God that he let
me get through a lot of the things in my
past so that way I can have this bright future
right now that I got, you know what I'm saying.
And the only thing right now that we got to
look forward to is everything that's in front of us.
(08:33):
You know what I'm saying, Everything that's in the back
of us. Hey, we can't look forward to that because
it's the back of us, you know what I'm saying.
So I just thank God for the blessings man that
he gave me from then all the way up until
right now.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is I'm on the phone with you, guys.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
What is it about?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I mean, you've always had this connection I mean by
definition with time? Is I mean was that I mean?
And that you know yesterday is dead last? You know,
whatever happened, you know, that's that's that's the end of
this notion. You know, we've got a limited amount of time.
But it's not that we have a limited amount of time.
It's that we waste so much of it. But obviously,
(09:15):
symbolically and substantively, you've always had that relationship or at
least that deeper understanding.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Where the hell did that come from?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, honestly, it came from God to me, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
You know, when I started wearing this clock, you know
what I'm saying, a lot of people was asking me
the reason why. So I made up my own significance,
you know what I'm saying. And time is the most
important element that we have in our life. We can't
afford to waste none of it, and as the minute
hand goes around, we have to use each second to
our best value. You know, time brought us in and yes,
(09:52):
time is going to take us out. And I always
be saying I'm clocking. I'm clocking. That means I'm paying attention,
so you can't. Didn't get fast on me because I
know what.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Time it is.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You know, you do yours with the ice and some
more ship.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I had no idea, but I went ahead and I
put that motherfucking clock right there, that infinite that time.
You can see it right there, that's the infinite time.
Like you know, I mean, I thought about it from
a situation where you know, I mean, life goes uh
uh time. You know what, life stops, you know what I mean,
at the end of the day, at the end of
the day, all our life it stopped. But time that
(10:40):
shit continues. And this is a continuing, continuous clock that
I got here on my neck to remind me of that.
So while I'm here, you feel me though, I try
to maximize you know what I mean, every minute to
every second, to every hour that I have to the
maximum capacity that I have in it. And I try
to live that mother to the fullest. And I ain't know,
(11:02):
you know, I mean, it's crazy that you know you
got here in front of me, even though you feel
me though, Man, spoke, I appreciate you spoke for you know,
I mean the introduction and putting me you know, I
mean in contact with you.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But now that I think about it and I.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
See the the the resemblance and the motherfucking saying the
brave link the brain wave links and you know, I
mean on that same type of time though, like man, motherfucker,
really appreciate.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
You know what I'm saying. I walked in the studio.
Back in the days, we had the cassette tapes. I

had the cassette tape coming out of the deck, going
around a microphone stand back into the cassette deck, Ladies
and gentlemen, I gotta tell you right now, that was
(14:44):
called the first loop. So anyway, so I told him
this story. I told him this story about when I
was on my way up to the studio. You know,
I ran to this guy named Ron D. Whaley from
the play Hard crew. He's like, Yo, man, what's up
with your Chuck D. I want to battle him?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Man.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
I'm like, well, Chuck, don't battle. We don't, but you know,

this brother stopped me asking me, Yo, what's up with
your boy Chucky D he swear he nice?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I said, Yo, he don't swear, he nice. He knows
he's nice. You know. What I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
So, Chuck, I got a feeling you're turning into a
public enemy. Now remember that line he was kicking me
on the way out to La Long and Queensland.
Speaker 2 (15:42):

Speaker 6 (15:43):
To the shop right now, kick the base for them, brothers.

reason don't to my lyrics? Oh yes, no doubt And
(16:03):
y'all we made that take for our radio show, right
for b a U. So the t the tate got
kind of hot and popular, you know what I'm saying.
So one night DMC and jam Master Jay comes up
to the radio station looking for Chuck. So I ended
(16:24):
up taking them over to the studio to talk to Chuck.
And they wanted to talk to Chuck about taking Public
Enemy number one and putting it on Deaf Gym Records.
So at that time, death Gym Records still wasn't doing
all that great because they had just started.
Speaker 2 (16:40):

Records and.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Russell Russell and Russell and Rick Rubin, Right, Russell and
Rick Rubin. We went to sign and all they wanted
was Chuck. They didn't want me, you know what I'm saying.
So Chuck was like, hey, yo, check this out. If
he's not part of this, it ain't gonna work because
the only way this is working right now is with him,
you know what I'm saying, This and that. So it
(17:18):
was Chuck d that forced me down Death Jim's throat,
you know what I'm saying. And when he did that,
I ain't gonna lie, but it's one of the best
things that could ever happened for Death Jam Public.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Ye me.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
I went up to Taylor Swift and the Grammys. I said,
ain't Taylor, do you know? Because now I've been supporting
you real hard. Do you know your fan base called
me King Swifty? She said, I know, Yeah, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
I went, I went about King Swifty. You understand what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah. I went to see her show in Hamburg too.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Man, she blew that shit out the water Man and
she gave me a chout out from the stage.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I love Taylor Swift. Man. You know her lyrics? Man,
you know what I'm saying is real.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
She she writes about a lot of the things that
she's that she's been through, you know what I'm saying
in the Hall nine, and and she keeps it real,
you know, with a fan base. So that's why I
support her big time.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Speaking of keeping I mean obviously your music, aside from
the music itself, the movement that was so much part
of the music, the authenticity behind it and calling things,
calling balls and strikes.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
On racial justice, social justice.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I mean, was that intentional or is that just a
byproduct of just you're just being freely expressive, or were
you guys trying to really set a tone and tenor
for social change.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, see, one thing that we always was about, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
With our music, we write about a lot of the
problems that was going on in the neighborhood. But then
within the same record, we try to come up with
the solution to the problems, you know what I'm saying.
And you know, there was a lot going on that
we want to do whole world to know about.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I stayed public endem me was.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
The CNN of the streets, you know, That's what I
call us the CNN of the streets. You know what
I'm saying, And we put out a lot of social
awareness you know out there.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You know what I'm saying. My partner, Chuck D. Let
me tell you.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Something, Manason, why I back him is because all of
the records that we ever put out, nobody could ever
prove Nobody ever proved Chuck wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
And one thing that I can say about my partner,
Chuck Deal's a very very smart, crazy smart individual man.
Before he writes the record, he does his research first,
then he writes about it, then we put it out.
So that's why nobody could prove them wrong. So, hey,
you only gonna stand by what's right, you know what
(24:34):
I'm saying. But just to let y'all know, even if
my partner, Chuck D was wrong anyway, I would still
stand by him anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
But you think the music, I mean the music today,
I mean it's interesting you prescribe not just the problem,
identify problem. And I love the CNN of the streets. Man,
that's a great way to describe it. But this idea
of then focusing on the solution and focusing on some
positive change, is that still you think that's reflected today's
music as much as it was back then.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Let me say this because you know, you know, today
is a lot different from today, is a lot different
from when we first started putting out records and shit,
you know what I'm saying in the Whole nine. And
you know, back in the day when we was putting
out our records, they had messages to them. You know
what I'm saying in the Whole nine. Today you got
(25:22):
a lot of people just making rap records. And there's
a lot of good rap records going on out there
right now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
But today today's records is.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Mostly you know, bragging and boasting and shit, guns, drugs, sex,
you know what I'm saying, gang, gang violence and all
of that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
That's what you know.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
You know that a lot of the records that are
being made today, rap records is about. But the way
that these people are writing their records is because this
is the way that they're actually living in their neighborhoods,
you know what I'm saying. But you do got a
lot of people out there fake and talk about I'll
bust this and I'll shoot that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Never shot a fucking gun up in there fucking life, but.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
They ain't really with this ship.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Yeah, you got a lot of fucking fakes out there,
you know what I'm saying. Worry it up, man, Hey, hey,
real people do real things, and real people recognize real people.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Hey, play if I got a question to turn it up? Uh,
how many free flights in Southwest? Give you your handing
other peanuts out man? On the under plane.
Speaker 6 (26:40):

of exposure, man, so they should be giving you something.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
You know. We gotta do though, We gotta cheeve you
and Marshawn because if you remember flaving back in Marshawn's
rookie year, he did the Applebee's piece, and you're a
Rod Lobster guy. We gotta somehow bring Red Lobster and
Applebee's back.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
And we gotta save the biscuits. Gee, we gotta save
dump biscuits.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
And Cheddar biscuits, Cheddar biscuits away.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, no, they can't. You can't do it.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
You can't take the Cheddar biscuits away. That's a staple one.
They let me tell you that feel that's.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Right when it comes down to when it come down
to Red Lobster, man, Red Lobster was always one of
my favorite family restaurants to take my family to, you
know what I'm saying. And also back in the days,
come on, man, when you was able to go to
Red Lobster, you were balling.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You was you?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean, you was getting a bag up out the ass.
Tell what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:25):

Speaker 1 (28:27):
You was that's a five star motherfucking.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Restaurant, No flav It was red Lobster with Sizzler. Sizzler,
the red Lobster, both of them, Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's right, that's right. Can't forget sizzlers, baby, come on
down now, it's Applebee.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
We can't forget about no siss Oh man?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Where are you?
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Where are you spending most of your time in the desert?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Right here where I live in Vegas. I'm in Vegas,
Vegas desert.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Look, Gavin, you're always trying to find a motherfucker about
this shit.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Just trying to find general location for the.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Goddamn in the desert. Man, it's hot in the desert.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Man.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Would you look at the DNC last week? You watched
any of it?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I get to see none of that, are you? By
the way?
Speaker 8 (29:13):
I mean what you talked about.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
It's interesting and it's sort of an extension of Doug's
question about a little bit of politics, but without talking
about politics.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Doug, Marshawn and I've been.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Talking a lot about what's going on in inner city America,
not just in inner city. Because Marshawn corrected, me, I
don't even like that phrase. But what's going on in
the streets? And we talked about the eighties and nineties,
and you know, we just obviously I think we're still
sort of reconciling what the hell happened last three four
years with not just COVID, but notably social justice, which
so many people forgotten what happened post George George Floyd,
(29:47):
and so much of our politics I think being shaped
today by the reaction to that and perhaps now the
counter reaction to that. But what what's your sense of
how the hell we're doing? I mean, all all the
movement that was that was part of your music, and
that energy and the positivity in terms of just not
talking again diagnosing a problem, but having a message. I mean,
(30:10):
what's your sense today of politics in relationship to the music.
You're being a little critical of music in the context
of people sort of posing about that reality. How you
how you how you feeling that that reality is squaring
with the music, And what is your sense of how
we're doing broadly?
Speaker 6 (30:25):
I mean, well, let me say this, man, because I've
never been much of a politician, and shit, you know
what I'm saying, And I never really cared too much
about getting into the politics, you know what I'm saying.
And see, like like right now today when it comes
down to these politics on both sides, the Democrats and
the Republicans, everybody's right, nobody's wrong, and you know what
(30:51):
I'm saying, And right now there's a big fight going
on with the Democrats and the Republicans. You know what
I'm saying, And you know what, I stay out of
it because to me, everybody's wrong. It ain't nobody right yet,
you know what I'm saying. So that's why that's why
I stay out of the politic thing.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Man.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
You know, the way I see that shit is like
all the politicians they like, they like middlemen. And we
all know when you start putting this shit into a
term of a way that motherfuckers, you know what I mean,
like us can understand that is like the middle man
gonna make sure that they get fed, you know what
I mean, from both from both ends.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
They gonna make sure get from you know what I mean,
over here, and they gonna make sure that they get
paid from over there. And at the end of the day,
they're gonna say the best shit that they need to
say in order to make sure that they continue to
get their bread. So you know what I mean, Flag,
I ain't gonna lie like you know what I mean.
I was telling Gav like, man, when you talk about
the Republican and Democrats, like that shit, ain't nothing but
(31:55):
a motherfucking gang. Though right then the politicians is the
voice that they put out there, you feel me though,
to speak, they piece and then there ain't nothing but
a motherfucking middle man to the people and then.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
On the other side the middle man to the government.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
And at the end of the day, you could never
put you could never put too much on them because
at the end of the day, they're gonna say what
they need to say in order to appease le parties
because they gonna need, you know what I mean, backing
from both of them. So when I was thinking about
that shit and you put this shit into perspective, like, man,
well look, man, if you got a motherfucker right now,
who's gonna go out and get you? Because I mean,
(32:34):
gave went uh to the border, and you know what
I mean, We was talking about the fitting on and shit,
and it was like how much is the fitting on it?
You probably get a brick of fitting off for about
twenty bands or something. And I'm like, shit, you put
a middle man in that, you know what I mean?
My motherfucker who got it? And it's like tell somebody
who you know, I mean, who want it? Like, yeah,
you know, I could probably get you a brick of
fitting off for about you know what I mean, twenty right,
(32:57):
Like I got my people over here be able to
get you, feel me, then he gonna go get it.
But at the end of the day, that motherfucker gonna
collect from the motherfucker he's selling it to. Ran he
gonna collect from the motherfucker who he gonna put in
contact for the motherfucker to sell it folk.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And then when you put the information in.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
The hands of the politicians, gave don't take this offense,
don't get all offenses in perspective, it's like shit, the
politicians gotta make sure, all right, he gonna he gonna
tell what he needs to tell to the people in
order to get what he needed to get in order
for the government to be able to sign on what
(33:34):
they need to sign on. And I'm like, damn, you
know what, the motherfucker's play a middleman role.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So at the end of the.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
Day, realistically, in a sense, Gavin, exclude you out this
conversation for a second. We ain't even talking to you
or about you right now. But who the fuck can
you trust?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
When you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (33:51):
You know that an individual finna go here and capitalize
on both ends. Why you're not gonna make it sound
good to this party over here on the right, just
the same way that you're gonna make it sound good
to the porty on the left.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, that's why Marshawn and Flay we got all.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
We all got to be back being civil and being
nice to everybody, living life and Flave. No one's lived
life like you want, Marshawn, And that's the beauty of it,
because you know we all have QTR quality time remaining, Flave,
and and you've lived your life that way. We know
Marshawn's lived his life that way. So Flave, what what's
what's next for you the next five years? What do
you what do you want to do? What do you
want to get into?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Doug?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
I liked it that seg my boy, you did a
very good job right there, you know what I mean.
That's hey, Look, that's why you feel me. That's a
politician right there. Hey, Doug as my first born. You
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
It was a good job, mar Sean, thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
That was That was a good segment with good Son.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
So flave, what do we got? What do we got next?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Hey? Checked this out?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Checked this out before I jump into that, right, I
just wanted to just add on you know what I'm
saying in the whole nine You know me, man, I'm one.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I have a special goal in life that I'm trying
to achieve.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
You know what I'm saying, And what I what I
want to do is I want to take all all
races of the world. You know what I'm saying, all
races of the world, all nationalities, and I want to
try to combine them together as one.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Because this world has made up a whole bunch of
different races.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
You've got the Black race, you got the White race,
you got Italian, you got Chinese, you got African. I mean,
you know, all of these races are people, you know
what I'm saying. But at the end, but at the
end of the day, there's only one race. That's the
human race.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Mother.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
So so no matter what race we come from, no
matter what color we are, no matter what part of
the what country we come from, no matter what language
we speak. But at the end of the day, we
all sisters and brothers. Man, we we must formal wall
of unity. You know what I'm saying. You must stick
together and build that wall of unity so nobody else
(36:06):
could carry It'll be so strong nobody else could carry
it down.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
So that's my mention right now. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
I'm gonna tell you something, man, One thing that my
partner chug D said, when it comes down to the
world peace, I'd rather live in it than fucking rest
in it.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I like that.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
I like that. I like what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
I mean, you know, the Bible talks about where many
parts one body, and when one part suffers, we all suffer.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
Doctor King talking about that, right, he said, we're.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
All bound together by a web of mutuality, and we've
forgotten that.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And this sort of this, I mean, Marshawn talks about
this gang culture. But even in the prism of red
versus blue and this sort of this, the zero sum
bs So I appreciate that spirit. Uh and of course
that's the spirit that that's defined your success, your advocacy
and in.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
The world that you're trying to build.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
So what is I mean?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You know, as Doug said, SeGW, what do you I mean?
You know, Marshawn made the point. Man, you were way
out front.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
In the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
You're crushing it now more recently contemporary terms. You keep
reinventing yourself. Obviously you were leading and cutting edge of
reality TV. Marshawn begins jealous as hell because you were
sitting there one versus twenty.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
So where are you gonna be?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Man?
Speaker 7 (37:16):
I need hey, man, I need me a love of
beast mode or something. Man, you can't way but love.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I'm like, gosh, damn.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
It really brought him out, like, hey, I needed you
feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Don't you feel me?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Like?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Hey, put me in the game.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Coach, shocking, shocky, do a lot of all of that,
you know.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
I made some major accomplishments man, through reality TV. You
know what I'm saying, I made a lot of major accomplishments.
Do this rap music thing, man, you know what I'm saying.
You know, I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
You know, got the Lifetime Achievement from the Grammys. You
know what I'm saying, A nice little layout in the
African American Smith's sony An Institute down in DC.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
I got stuff in the in the Grammy Museum in LA.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
You know what I'm saying. In the whole nine.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
When it comes down to VH one, you know, reality TV,
I still hold the record at VH one. I brought
VH one it's most viewers ever in its history, seven
point five million viewers and no one else ever seen.
And you know, they tried it with Brett Micha Moose,
they tried it with Rage He, they tried it with
New York. I can't nobody break that record, Butt Plave,
(38:31):
you know what I'm saying. So so me when it
comes down to reality TV and all of that, been there,
done that. I know that I set the tone for
reality TV and all of that. So now then that
I did drop that way back in the day. And
I never got my diploma. I'm going back to high
school and I'm gonna get my diploma and I'm putting
(38:53):
that on TV. I'm putting that, you know, I'm putting
that on TV. You know what I'm saying. I'm going
back to high school but my diploma. Put that on TV.
And then also I'm focusing, you know, on on on
put my residency together here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
I got a residency right now to that I'm gonna
be working on, you know what I'm saying, And I
want to put it together here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Hey, well, look man.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
You not all I'm gonna say. Like this, I think
I seen it was it was it was two artists.
I think it was a Holy Ray, Holy Ray and
in Quavo that they just went back and they went
and got the they high school diplomas and I think
one of them was twenty nine and one of them
was twenty four. So yeah, I mean, I don't think
(39:41):
it matter about you. I mean how old you are
or you know what I mean, what state of mind
where you at and life, But blann to go ahead
and put more accomplishments on your resume, like man, just
keep adding them. Motherfuckers. Man, keep the motherfuckers piling up,
Keep doing shit. That motherfuckers didn't think was possible for you. Man,
You feel me, especially because you know we had a
(40:03):
couple of talks on here before where you know, I mean,
motherfucker's toad told me before, like you'll be dead during
jail by the age of eighteen. And you feel me though, Uh,
every year that I've had after eighteen, it's almost been
like an extra life, like you know, something that I
have been able to, uh, you know, celebrate considering that
(40:24):
individuals really had this mindset on that's.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
What my life was supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
So I mean, as long as you keep on you know,
I mean executing anything that you put to your you
know what I mean, to your to your mind and shit,
and keep on elevating the levels that you probably didn't
even think because I mean, who the fuck would think
about going back to you know what I mean, get
they high school diploma after they done just read down
a resume that you just read down like it don't
(40:53):
even make sense, you feel me, don't do that. But
the fact that you had an opportunity to do it
and you're gonna go and do it.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Like that shit is huge. That shit is big though.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
Yeah, that's really cool. Flavor. I mean, I get.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Definitely that, you know. And also also I'm doing this.
Speaker 6 (41:07):
I'm doing this, this high school show, you know, for
for for two reasons. Number one, you know, to show
a lot of people my age that is never too

to egg be the thing to who I can float
around on top of the water with no hands. They
gave me the ball so I can try to score
off and shit, you know what I'm saying, Your boy,
play did good. I scored two goals, two golds, you

you know, all of these girls. All the girls want
to do is just be recognized. You know what I'm
saying for what they do. You know what I'm saying.

You know what I'm saying, working two and three jobs.
You know what i'm saying, living active lives. You know
what I'm saying. You don't make money in the Olympics.
You know what I'm saying. So when they out there competing,
it's taking them away from the you know, from the
jobs and all of that stuff. You know what I'm saying.
So I said, let me see if I can help
give these girls a boost. You know what I'm saying,
(03:27):
they got three back to back gold medals right now,
which is amazing, and no other water polo team has
achieved that right now. So I said, let me see

of stepping in, man and sponsoring them the water polo team,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know what I'm saying. I mean, you know, we
had a good time. Man.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I wanted them to get to share this experience with
me for the first time ever.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What was it? What was the best venue out there?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Besides the water poling all that, I mean track and
field obviously, I mean women's beach volleyball looked like incredible venue.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
What was the what was the best venue there?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
You go, dude, I mean, well for me, for me,
you know what I'm saying, beside the track and field.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You know I wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I got to go to the women's rugby game and
I watched them when they bronze, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And there right after the game.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Then the whole team came up to the suite to
come me flayed, you know what I'm saying. And one
of the girls, one of the girls the one that
that scoring that last touchdown the speedstuff forgot her name.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
He let me try you on her gold medal. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm about to ask you, is that is that one
you got around your neck?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Right now? Oh? Nah, man, this is why here is
rocking stones. Man.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
You know me? Yeah, man, y'all talking about man talk
that ship.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, you know you know how I get down. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
But but but also but also also another exciting moment
for me, mar Shawn. I got to go over to
the gymnastics spot and I got to see some moan
Biles when her gold medal.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know what I'm saying. Look as people was walking
to go get the.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Medal, I yelled out, realize, I said them, if she
looked up at me, and if you waited.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Straight up.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I love celebrities having you know, crushes on other celebrities
like that.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
I appreciate.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Let me take it. Let me let me take you
way back and get your opinion.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
We talk about time, about a life in different twists
and turns and whatnot regards to which way you could go.
I know, back in your day, you dropped out of
high school, right, and you and and and you you
ran into some trouble a little bit with the law,
and all of a sudden, then you went to culinary school,
I believe, right, and and then you met you met
Chuck D. And then from meeting Chuck D, everything kind
(07:42):
of went on to public enemy fame and whatnot. So
isn't it crazy looking back in those days that you know,
one wrong turn or if you didn't get in trouble
and you didn't go to culinary school, you may never
met Chuck, You may never be where yet today. So
isn't it crazy looking back those third forty fifty years ago?
And my God, like, look what happened in my life
(08:03):
on the company's turns I took.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Hey, well, let me tell you like this, man, You know,
every day is going to always be a life learning
lesson man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And the past is.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Responsible for our future, you know what I'm saying, in
the whole nine And I thank God that he let
me get through a lot of the things in my
past so that way I can have this bright future
right now that I got, you know what I'm saying.
And the only thing right now that we got to
look forward to is everything that's in front of us.
(08:33):
You know what I'm saying, Everything that's in the back
of us. Hey, we can't look forward to that because
it's the back of us, you know what I'm saying.
So I just thank God for the blessings man that
he gave me from then all the way up until
right now.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is I'm on the phone with you, guys.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
What is it about?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I mean, you've always had this connection I mean by
definition with time? Is I mean was that I mean?
And that you know yesterday is dead last? You know,
whatever happened, you know, that's that's that's the end of
this notion. You know, we've got a limited amount of time.
But it's not that we have a limited amount of time.
It's that we waste so much of it. But obviously,
(09:15):
symbolically and substantively, you've always had that relationship or at
least that deeper understanding.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Where the hell did that come from?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, honestly, it came from God to me, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
You know, when I started wearing this clock, you know
what I'm saying, a lot of people was asking me
the reason why. So I made up my own significance,
you know what I'm saying. And time is the most
important element that we have in our life. We can't
afford to waste none of it, and as the minute
hand goes around, we have to use each second to
our best value. You know, time brought us in and yes,
(09:52):
time is going to take us out. And I always
be saying I'm clocking. I'm clocking. That means I'm paying attention,
so you can't. Didn't get fast on me because I
know what.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Time it is.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You know, you do yours with the ice and some
more ship.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I had no idea, but I went ahead and I
put that motherfucking clock right there, that infinite that time.
You can see it right there, that's the infinite time.
Like you know, I mean, I thought about it from
a situation where you know, I mean, life goes uh
uh time. You know what, life stops, you know what I mean,
at the end of the day, at the end of
the day, all our life it stopped. But time that
(10:40):
shit continues. And this is a continuing, continuous clock that
I got here on my neck to remind me of that.
So while I'm here, you feel me though, I try
to maximize you know what I mean, every minute to
every second, to every hour that I have to the
maximum capacity that I have in it. And I try
to live that mother to the fullest. And I ain't know,
(11:02):
you know, I mean, it's crazy that you know you
got here in front of me, even though you feel
me though, Man, spoke, I appreciate you spoke for you know,
I mean the introduction and putting me you know, I
mean in contact with you.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But now that I think about it and I.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
See the the the resemblance and the motherfucking saying the
brave link the brain wave links and you know, I
mean on that same type of time though, like man, motherfucker,
really appreciate.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
And then we ended up doing radio.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
We ended up doing radio over it at Adelphi University

Speaker 6 (13:57):
I gotta tell you all this story because y'all want
me to tell take you back there, So.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'm gonna take you back there please.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
So one day I go up to the studio five
ten South Franklin. That's where our studio was, right. So
as I'm getting ready to walk into the studio.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I heard I'm like, what the hell is Chuck doing
in here? Man?
Speaker 6 (14:20):
You know what I'm saying. I walked in the studio.
Back in the days, we had the cassette tapes. I
remember the cassette tapes, right, So my boy Chuck d
had the cassette tape coming out of the deck, going
around a microphone stand back into the cassette deck, Ladies
and gentlemen, I gotta tell you right now, that was
(14:44):
called the first loop. So anyway, so I told him
this story. I told him this story about when I
was on my way up to the studio. You know,
I ran to this guy named Ron D. Whaley from
the play Hard crew. He's like, Yo, man, what's up
with your Chuck D. I want to battle him?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Man.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
I'm like, well, Chuck, don't battle. We don't, but you know,
we can setch you up for a battle. But he said, Yo,
your boy, Chuck man, he swear nice. I said, Yo, man,
my boy don't swear he nice. My boy knows he's nice.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know. So Chuck Chuck said, Yo, Yo, put.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Put that story right here on the beginning of the
state right now. So then that's when I said, Yo, Chuck,
bust the move. Man. I was on my way up
here to the studio, you know what I'm saying, and
this brother stopped me asking me, Yo, what's up with
your boy Chucky D he swear he nice?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I said, Yo, he don't swear, he nice. He knows
he's nice. You know. What I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
So, Chuck, I got a feeling you're turning into a
public enemy. Now remember that line he was kicking me
on the way out to La Long and Queensland.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I'm car on our way.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
To the shop right now, kick the base for them, brothers.
Let him know what goes on the Chuck d says,
what goes on? Well, I'm all in and put it
up on the ball, and another rapper tied down from
the mouth that ruined one, two, three down the character
reason don't to my lyrics? Oh yes, no doubt And
(16:03):
y'all we made that take for our radio show, right
for b a U. So the t the tate got
kind of hot and popular, you know what I'm saying.
So one night DMC and jam Master Jay comes up
to the radio station looking for Chuck. So I ended
(16:24):
up taking them over to the studio to talk to Chuck.
And they wanted to talk to Chuck about taking Public
Enemy number one and putting it on Deaf Gym Records.
So at that time, death Gym Records still wasn't doing
all that great because they had just started.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
So Chuck is like, nah, I'm just having fun doing
radio right now, man, I don't want to do no records,
this and that, that and this.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Then the next year we went down to death Jam
Records and.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Russell Russell and Russell and Rick Rubin, Right, Russell and
Rick Rubin. We went to sign and all they wanted
was Chuck. They didn't want me, you know what I'm saying.
So Chuck was like, hey, yo, check this out. If
he's not part of this, it ain't gonna work because
the only way this is working right now is with him,
you know what I'm saying, This and that. So it
(17:18):
was Chuck d that forced me down Death Jim's throat,
you know what I'm saying. And when he did that,
I ain't gonna lie, but it's one of the best
things that could ever happened for Death Jam Public.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Kunna Me was born nineteen nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
That's when I was born, So you know what I mean,

Speaker 6 (22:16):
I went up to Taylor Swift and the Grammys. I said,

you real hard. Do you know your fan base called

what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
I went, I went about King Swifty. You understand what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah. I went to see her show in Hamburg too.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Man, she blew that shit out the water Man and
she gave me a chout out from the stage.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I love Taylor Swift. Man. You know her lyrics? Man,
you know what I'm saying is real.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
She she writes about a lot of the things that
she's that she's been through, you know what I'm saying
in the Hall nine, and and she keeps it real,
you know, with a fan base. So that's why I
support her big time.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Speaking of keeping I mean obviously your music, aside from
the music itself, the movement that was so much part
of the music, the authenticity behind it and calling things,
calling balls and strikes.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
On racial justice, social justice.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I mean, was that intentional or is that just a
byproduct of just you're just being freely expressive, or were
you guys trying to really set a tone and tenor
for social change.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, see, one thing that we always was about, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
With our music, we write about a lot of the
problems that was going on in the neighborhood. But then
within the same record, we try to come up with
the solution to the problems, you know what I'm saying.
And you know, there was a lot going on that
we want to do whole world to know about.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I stayed public endem me was.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
The CNN of the streets, you know, That's what I
call us the CNN of the streets. You know what
I'm saying, And we put out a lot of social
awareness you know out there.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You know what I'm saying. My partner, Chuck D. Let
me tell you.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Something, Manason, why I back him is because all of
the records that we ever put out, nobody could ever
prove Nobody ever proved Chuck wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
And one thing that I can say about my partner,
Chuck Deal's a very very smart, crazy smart individual man.
Before he writes the record, he does his research first,
then he writes about it, then we put it out.
So that's why nobody could prove them wrong. So, hey,
you only gonna stand by what's right, you know what
(24:34):
I'm saying. But just to let y'all know, even if
my partner, Chuck D was wrong anyway, I would still
stand by him anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
But you think the music, I mean the music today,
I mean it's interesting you prescribe not just the problem,
identify problem. And I love the CNN of the streets. Man,
that's a great way to describe it. But this idea
of then focusing on the solution and focusing on some
positive change, is that still you think that's reflected today's
music as much as it was back then.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Let me say this because you know, you know, today
is a lot different from today, is a lot different
from when we first started putting out records and shit,
you know what I'm saying in the Whole nine. And
you know, back in the day when we was putting
out our records, they had messages to them. You know
what I'm saying in the Whole nine. Today you got
(25:22):
a lot of people just making rap records. And there's
a lot of good rap records going on out there
right now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
But today today's records is.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Mostly you know, bragging and boasting and shit, guns, drugs, sex,
you know what I'm saying, gang, gang violence and all
of that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
That's what you know.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
You know that a lot of the records that are
being made today, rap records is about. But the way
that these people are writing their records is because this
is the way that they're actually living in their neighborhoods,
you know what I'm saying. But you do got a
lot of people out there fake and talk about I'll
bust this and I'll shoot that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Never shot a fucking gun up in there fucking life, but.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
They ain't really with this ship.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Yeah, you got a lot of fucking fakes out there,
you know what I'm saying. Worry it up, man, Hey, hey,
real people do real things, and real people recognize real people.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Hey, play if I got a question to turn it up? Uh,
how many free flights in Southwest? Give you your handing
other peanuts out man? On the under plane.
Speaker 6 (26:40):

of exposure, man, so they should be giving you something.
Speaker 4 (26:49):

Speaker 2 (26:52):

Speaker 6 (26:53):

Speaker 7 (27:57):
You can't take the Cheddar biscuits away. That's a staple one.
They let me tell you that feel that's.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Right when it comes down to when it come down
to Red Lobster, man, Red Lobster was always one of
my favorite family restaurants to take my family to, you
know what I'm saying. And also back in the days,
come on, man, when you was able to go to
Red Lobster, you were balling.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You was you?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean, you was getting a bag up out the ass.
Tell what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:25):

Speaker 1 (28:27):
You was that's a five star motherfucking.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Restaurant, No flav It was red Lobster with Sizzler. Sizzler,
the red Lobster, both of them, Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's right, that's right. Can't forget sizzlers, baby, come on

Speaker 1 (28:47):
We can't forget about no siss Oh man?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Where are you?
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Where are you spending most of your time in the desert?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Right here where I live in Vegas. I'm in Vegas,
Vegas desert.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Look, Gavin, you're always trying to find a motherfucker about
this shit.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Just trying to find general location for the.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Goddamn in the desert. Man, it's hot in the desert.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Man.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Would you look at the DNC last week? You watched
any of it?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I get to see none of that, are you? By
the way?
Speaker 8 (29:13):
I mean what you talked about.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
It's interesting and it's sort of an extension of Doug's
question about a little bit of politics, but without talking
about politics.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Doug, Marshawn and I've been.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Talking a lot about what's going on in inner city America,
not just in inner city. Because Marshawn corrected, me, I
don't even like that phrase. But what's going on in
the streets? And we talked about the eighties and nineties,
and you know, we just obviously I think we're still
sort of reconciling what the hell happened last three four
years with not just COVID, but notably social justice, which
so many people forgotten what happened post George George Floyd,
(29:47):
and so much of our politics I think being shaped
today by the reaction to that and perhaps now the
counter reaction to that. But what what's your sense of
how the hell we're doing? I mean, all all the
movement that was that was part of your music, and
that energy and the positivity in terms of just not
talking again diagnosing a problem, but having a message. I mean,
(30:10):
what's your sense today of politics in relationship to the music.
You're being a little critical of music in the context
of people sort of posing about that reality. How you
how you how you feeling that that reality is squaring
with the music, And what is your sense of how
we're doing broadly?
Speaker 6 (30:25):
I mean, well, let me say this, man, because I've
never been much of a politician, and shit, you know
what I'm saying, And I never really cared too much
about getting into the politics, you know what I'm saying.
And see, like like right now today when it comes
down to these politics on both sides, the Democrats and
the Republicans, everybody's right, nobody's wrong, and you know what
(30:51):
I'm saying, And right now there's a big fight going
on with the Democrats and the Republicans. You know what
I'm saying, And you know what, I stay out of
it because to me, everybody's wrong. It ain't nobody right yet,
you know what I'm saying. So that's why that's why
I stay out of the politic thing.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Man.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
You know, the way I see that shit is like
all the politicians they like, they like middlemen. And we
all know when you start putting this shit into a
term of a way that motherfuckers, you know what I mean,
like us can understand that is like the middle man
gonna make sure that they get fed, you know what
I mean, from both from both ends.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
They gonna make sure get from you know what I mean,
over here, and they gonna make sure that they get
paid from over there. And at the end of the day,
they're gonna say the best shit that they need to
say in order to make sure that they continue to
get their bread. So you know what I mean, Flag,
I ain't gonna lie like you know what I mean.
I was telling Gav like, man, when you talk about
the Republican and Democrats, like that shit, ain't nothing but
(31:55):
a motherfucking gang. Though right then the politicians is the
voice that they put out there, you feel me though,
to speak, they piece and then there ain't nothing but
a motherfucking middle man to the people and then.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
On the other side the middle man to the government.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
And at the end of the day, you could never
put you could never put too much on them because
at the end of the day, they're gonna say what
they need to say in order to appease le parties
because they gonna need, you know what I mean, backing
from both of them. So when I was thinking about
that shit and you put this shit into perspective, like, man,
well look, man, if you got a motherfucker right now,
who's gonna go out and get you? Because I mean,
(32:34):
gave went uh to the border, and you know what
I mean, We was talking about the fitting on and shit,
and it was like how much is the fitting on it?
You probably get a brick of fitting off for about
twenty bands or something. And I'm like, shit, you put
a middle man in that, you know what I mean?
My motherfucker who got it? And it's like tell somebody
who you know, I mean, who want it? Like, yeah,
you know, I could probably get you a brick of
fitting off for about you know what I mean, twenty right,
(32:57):
Like I got my people over here be able to
get you, feel me, then he gonna go get it.
But at the end of the day, that motherfucker gonna
collect from the motherfucker he's selling it to. Ran he
gonna collect from the motherfucker who he gonna put in
contact for the motherfucker to sell it folk.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And then when you put the information in.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
The hands of the politicians, gave don't take this offense,
don't get all offenses in perspective, it's like shit, the
politicians gotta make sure, all right, he gonna he gonna
tell what he needs to tell to the people in
order to get what he needed to get in order
for the government to be able to sign on what
(33:34):
they need to sign on. And I'm like, damn, you
know what, the motherfucker's play a middleman role.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So at the end of the.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
Day, realistically, in a sense, Gavin, exclude you out this
conversation for a second. We ain't even talking to you
or about you right now. But who the fuck can
you trust?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
When you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (33:51):
You know that an individual finna go here and capitalize
on both ends. Why you're not gonna make it sound
good to this party over here on the right, just
the same way that you're gonna make it sound good
to the porty on the left.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, that's why Marshawn and Flay we got all.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
We all got to be back being civil and being
nice to everybody, living life and Flave. No one's lived
life like you want, Marshawn, And that's the beauty of it,
because you know we all have QTR quality time remaining, Flave,
and and you've lived your life that way. We know
Marshawn's lived his life that way. So Flave, what what's
what's next for you the next five years? What do
you what do you want to do? What do you
want to get into?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Doug?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
I liked it that seg my boy, you did a
very good job right there, you know what I mean.
That's hey, Look, that's why you feel me. That's a
politician right there. Hey, Doug as my first born. You
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
It was a good job, mar Sean, thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
That was That was a good segment with good Son.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
So flave, what do we got? What do we got next?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Hey? Checked this out?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Checked this out before I jump into that, right, I
just wanted to just add on you know what I'm
saying in the whole nine You know me, man, I'm one.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I have a special goal in life that I'm trying
to achieve.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
You know what I'm saying, And what I what I
want to do is I want to take all all
races of the world. You know what I'm saying, all
races of the world, all nationalities, and I want to
try to combine them together as one.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Because this world has made up a whole bunch of
different races.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
You've got the Black race, you got the White race,
you got Italian, you got Chinese, you got African. I mean,
you know, all of these races are people, you know
what I'm saying. But at the end, but at the
end of the day, there's only one race. That's the
human race.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Mother.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
So so no matter what race we come from, no
matter what color we are, no matter what part of
the what country we come from, no matter what language
we speak. But at the end of the day, we
all sisters and brothers. Man, we we must formal wall
of unity. You know what I'm saying. You must stick
together and build that wall of unity so nobody else
(36:06):
could carry It'll be so strong nobody else could carry
it down.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
So that's my mention right now. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
I'm gonna tell you something, man, One thing that my
partner chug D said, when it comes down to the
world peace, I'd rather live in it than fucking rest
in it.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I like that.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
I like that. I like what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
I mean, you know, the Bible talks about where many
parts one body, and when one part suffers, we all suffer.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
Doctor King talking about that, right, he said, we're.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
All bound together by a web of mutuality, and we've
forgotten that.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And this sort of this, I mean, Marshawn talks about
this gang culture. But even in the prism of red
versus blue and this sort of this, the zero sum
bs So I appreciate that spirit. Uh and of course
that's the spirit that that's defined your success, your advocacy
and in.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
The world that you're trying to build.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
So what is I mean?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You know, as Doug said, SeGW, what do you I mean?
You know, Marshawn made the point. Man, you were way
out front.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
In the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
You're crushing it now more recently contemporary terms. You keep
reinventing yourself. Obviously you were leading and cutting edge of
reality TV. Marshawn begins jealous as hell because you were
sitting there one versus twenty.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
So where are you gonna be?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Man?
Speaker 7 (37:16):
I need hey, man, I need me a love of
beast mode or something. Man, you can't way but love.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I'm like, gosh, damn.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
It really brought him out, like, hey, I needed you
feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Don't you feel me?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Like?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Hey, put me in the game.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Coach, shocking, shocky, do a lot of all of that,
you know.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
I made some major accomplishments man, through reality TV. You
know what I'm saying, I made a lot of major accomplishments.
Do this rap music thing, man, you know what I'm saying.
You know, I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
You know, got the Lifetime Achievement from the Grammys. You
know what I'm saying, A nice little layout in the
African American Smith's sony An Institute down in DC.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
I got stuff in the in the Grammy Museum in LA.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
You know what I'm saying. In the whole nine.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
When it comes down to VH one, you know, reality TV,
I still hold the record at VH one. I brought
VH one it's most viewers ever in its history, seven
point five million viewers and no one else ever seen.
And you know, they tried it with Brett Micha Moose,
they tried it with Rage He, they tried it with
New York. I can't nobody break that record, Butt Plave,
(38:31):
you know what I'm saying. So so me when it
comes down to reality TV and all of that, been there,
done that. I know that I set the tone for
reality TV and all of that. So now then that
I did drop that way back in the day. And
I never got my diploma. I'm going back to high
school and I'm gonna get my diploma and I'm putting
(38:53):
that on TV. I'm putting that, you know, I'm putting
that on TV. You know what I'm saying. I'm going
back to high school but my diploma. Put that on TV.
And then also I'm focusing, you know, on on on
put my residency together here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
I got a residency right now to that I'm gonna
be working on, you know what I'm saying, And I
want to put it together here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Hey, well, look man.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
You not all I'm gonna say. Like this, I think
I seen it was it was it was two artists.
I think it was a Holy Ray, Holy Ray and
in Quavo that they just went back and they went
and got the they high school diplomas and I think
one of them was twenty nine and one of them
was twenty four. So yeah, I mean, I don't think
(39:41):
it matter about you. I mean how old you are
or you know what I mean, what state of mind
where you at and life, But blann to go ahead
and put more accomplishments on your resume, like man, just
keep adding them. Motherfuckers. Man, keep the motherfuckers piling up,
Keep doing shit. That motherfuckers didn't think was possible for you. Man,
You feel me, especially because you know we had a
(40:03):
couple of talks on here before where you know, I mean,
motherfucker's toad told me before, like you'll be dead during
jail by the age of eighteen. And you feel me though, Uh,
every year that I've had after eighteen, it's almost been
like an extra life, like you know, something that I
have been able to, uh, you know, celebrate considering that
(40:24):
individuals really had this mindset on that's.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
What my life was supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
So I mean, as long as you keep on you know,
I mean executing anything that you put to your you
know what I mean, to your to your mind and shit,
and keep on elevating the levels that you probably didn't
even think because I mean, who the fuck would think
about going back to you know what I mean, get
they high school diploma after they done just read down
a resume that you just read down like it don't
(40:53):
even make sense, you feel me, don't do that. But
the fact that you had an opportunity to do it
and you're gonna go and do it.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Like that shit is huge. That shit is big though.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
Yeah, that's really cool. Flavor. I mean, I get.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Definitely that, you know. And also also I'm doing this.
Speaker 6 (41:07):
I'm doing this, this high school show, you know, for
for for two reasons. Number one, you know, to show
a lot of people my age that is never too
late to go back and get your diploma. But this
is also to a message for the kids that's in
school right now, right now, while you're in school and
(41:29):
you got that chance, get that piece of paper, man,
because you're going to have a hard time through life
without it. And not only that, but you might not
make it back like me to get it. So so
get it now while you're a head, you feel.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
Flavor, you actually going back to your same high school
and walking the halls.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
And I'm I'm not going back to the same high school.
Speaker 6 (41:50):
I think we're gonna end up shooting this show here
in Vegas, So we're trying to find a school right
now that's gonna let me shoot in you know what
I'm saying in the hall nine.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
But yeah, it's definitely gonna go down.
Speaker 8 (42:02):
How do you get back into a high school?
Speaker 7 (42:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like hold on, you actually
mean like going to class? Yeah, I mean the whole
backpack sitting in class. Take the whole thing, listening to
a motherfucking teacher who you know you probably make mode
in anyway, all that, do you hear me?

you know what I'm saying, and all they want to
do is just be recognized for what they do. You
know what I'm saying. In the Hall nine, I'm gonna
tell you something. When it comes down to all of
the sports that's being played in the Olympics, water polo
is the hardest sport. It's the hardest sport because all
you doing is treading water.
Speaker 5 (48:28):
Man.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
You know what I'm saying in the hall nine.
Speaker 6 (48:30):
I jumped in the water with the girls that I
tried it, and I know what it tasts, man, And
they taught me a couple of things. They taught me
to egg be the thing to who I can float
around on top of the water with no hands. They
gave me the ball so I can try to score
off and shit, you know what I'm saying, Your boy,
play did good. I scored two goals, two golds, you
(48:51):
know what I'm saying. But at the end of the day,
you know, all of these girls. All the girls want
to do is just be recognized. You know what I'm
saying for what they do. You know what I'm saying.
So that's why I understood that, and that's why another
reason why I jumped in there.
