Hey man, fast beach. It was how you enjoying the atmosphere.
I see you got your little ones out here with you.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Man, what's going on? It's cool man.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
You know, it's always cool to be part of you know,
this big for our culture, and you know, just seeing
the opportunities right like when you think back to when
y'all was starting, myself and others, when I'm seeing different
stuff like that for y'all even be able to be
recognized outside of just the podcast. Where where now when

(02:31):
things like this happening, they come to get y'all just
as a natural bro in a homie. I'll be proud
to see stuff like that. Yeah, and then they be
proud when you see some of the ones you're close
to on stage getting recognized or being able to perform.
And then lastly, the goal when you have kids to
let them experience things you didn't. So of course with

(02:52):
me and Lieu and running around, we're just doing our things.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, man, that's dope. Bro, what did you do? Hey?
Uh uh much? Cheez Serena, give me a nap.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's the atmosphere that's out here, man, it's familis.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm gonna get you some more cheese.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Come on, come on, juice, And they're good to see
that father first though, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Look at that you just.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
She now gotto Bro, she good.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Bro, I'm telling you yeah. But you know it'd be
it'd be cool, right because.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
The same way that people see me do the things
that they see with Relief Gang and just getting people
excited to jump frontline people watching me raise my kids
to it and motivate other fathers to get out there
and do that thing. Because I don't know if you realized, bro,
when they come to I was probably one of the
first couple of people that start bringing my baby to

(04:00):
the interviews and stuff, you know what I'm saying, And
you make that a cool thing because a lot of us,
you know, a lot of us need to be in
our kids and to see.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
That as well.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Like but you make it a little easy, man.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
But you know, the good thing is I exposed mine
all my kids, right, always exposed them the real life.
I expose them to this side, but I suppose in
the real life. So the thing is, no kid, I'm
cool right now, she got with you, I'm cool. I
expose them so they'll never have to look to the
homies or look to somebody else. All right, I got you,

(04:36):
So we get done well. They never have to look
to nobody else to be curious to things, because it's
like I did all that with my popsy, youee what
I'm saying, So it be the same with anything. Like
when she gets old, it ain't no little little cat
that's gonna be able to excite us.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
You know.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
My daddy is like, you know what I'm saying, So
that'd be the bigger goal.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
My dad took me that. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Yeah, So it's like that, and even with my boys, like, hey,
anything that you think you want to do, We're gonna
thug it out together, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, man, and I love that we that we undoing
some of the last that's been perpetuated on black men, bro,
because they always try to make it seem like we're
the absent fathers and all of that, but.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
We really would take our kids there.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
Well, I'm gonna be real with you in this last situation,
you know, fighting for my daughter and watching some of
the the words that people would say, and then you know,
some of the messages I would get a lot of
fathers be like, man, honestly, they didn't give up on
their child. They just was kind of forced out. But

(05:41):
like I tell them, like, sometimes you just gotta fight hard.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Sometimes the fight keep fighting.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
So sometimes they like when you said, they were forced
but like luckily a person like you was able to keep.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Had the resources to keep.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
But I'm even with me doing that, I'm still finna
start fighting for resources for people who ain't able because man,
these kids need it. Then you gotta think, bro, like
we don't want those suckers raising our kids.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
You don't know what have these other people? Maybe you
know what.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
I'm saying, So you saying something for real, We gotta
we gotta be able to be the front line for them.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, hey man, that's the BT Awards twenty twenty five. Man,
anything you're looking forward to seeing doing, hearing person you
want to run into.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Man, I see you out here.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You're doing it dropping the media and networking and everybody running.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Up to you.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh my god, can't believe you trade the truth?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I say, you give your number too a few of
the younger up and coming rappers, and that's that's That's
Another thing that's a mirrable about you is that you're
still approachable even on your level.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah. That and you know some of the stereotypes of
a lot of artists that.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Been in the game be better and be hating on
a lot of young men. For me, now, I want
to see y'all have opportunity. The goal is why why
not help them or get them that boost they need,
give them the boost they need to be motivated. You
never know how much that one little conversation may push
them to not go crash out.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Or just linking them with somebody else who like we
had the two chicks right here, they was big fans
of each other music.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't even think they ever got to sit down
and talk.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
To each other and see, that's the good thing.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
Like when I bring people to trade A two a
lot of people, I created a lot of relationships. Like
I don't know, if y'all go go look at the
beginnings of trade. DA's when you would see the Dirks,
the todd dollars, the nipsies.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
So a lot of people.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Come there and they create bonds they self that grow
in the other stuff.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Man.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
So we were laughing right and two chains and said
he was at one point two change.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Probably people thought he had the most features.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
He'll tell people, I'm probably only I still got over
twenty seven hundred unreleased songs, and I got.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Music with everybody.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
I can when we get off there, I can pull
songs out that you'll be like, Man, I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I got songs everybody, for real. Not. The part that
people arguing with me about is I never put them out?
Why is that? That was my next question.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
She just said, at the house and listen to him,
and I really do.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
I really do? I do it? All right, Well, we
gotta do this.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Then give us give me probably three of your favorite
unreleased joints. Then just the title, just some people can
start seeing it. Man, maybe it leaked, don't line, Maybe
I can find it somewhere.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
Uh man, all the way from the older to the
younger generation.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
I had some put together with Park that's put up.
I have some put together with with Nipsey that's put up,
a lot of songs. I got songs with everybody, man,
Like you know, I don't. I actually had like some
of the d m X last verses he did was

(08:58):
with me, Like I got a lie of I have
a lot of music, bro of music.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
You being selfish.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Man.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Look, it's God's time and man it's gonna come. But
one thing for sure, if I ever start rapping and
never rapped again, it's music that are still run circles
around my generation, my kids generating like that. And then
the good thing is timeless music. It's not music that

(09:26):
was at that moment right there.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
You know, you know people.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Rock with you, cause they don't. I don't think.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
No, all the songs you done did and all the
features and all that, it's like nobody tell you no.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah that's true, that's true, but that those are real relationship.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
That's what I'm saying, it's a real connection that you
have with people artists like it's deepening music and anything
like even with us like you you sit down and
just talk to us out, not no cameras.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
You talk to people, play, laugh, talk.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
People don't know you funny, funny.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
It's an interview about to come out. I was sitting
one on one with uh Me and Tip and it's
you know, I do interviews, but I never really go
in depth and it's really gonna open a lot of
eyes because a lot of people don't understand. Even with
people at the level I am, I'm still growing. Growth
is important and it's uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
You know.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
It's a lot of people that choose not to go
to ride of growth, you know, because it sometimes it
make us feel like suckers and make us feel all
kind of stuff. Could we going about things a different way?
But you know, as a real win, you got to
step out and if you're a leader, you're gonna do
you forget what everybody else thinks. So I think when
this interview come out, it'll open up a lot of

(10:41):
eyes and then a drive niggas a certain way, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Man twenty twenty five b. E. T awards, traded truth.
There's a lot of entertainers out here this weekend. It's
a lot of young talent out here this weekend, Like
as a p and who got the og statue in
the game?

Speaker 3 (11:02):

Speaker 1 (11:03):
What kind of advice would you give to the up
and coming generations? Bro the next the next generation of actors, comedians, rappers, singers,
dances like the atmosphere out here is fifty fifty half young,
half old with like, what kind of advice are you
giving the next job?

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Say two things. One, keep God first first, you know,
believe it or not. Man, majority of a lot of
people coming up don't even really have God like it
ain't that stay fault. They probably ain't been talked like
they got a stand that's you. Yeah, And I feel
for me. I feel fraud doing that right. I feel
like I don't need to call on guard when things bad?

(11:42):
What about when it's good?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I want to do it to relationship with where you
just talk with regular.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, I'm treating the same principal and standards.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
I say that, and I tell them stay doing you.
A lot of people give up on their dreams or
try and shift to do something else to fit in
when you just didn't realize your time was coming. You
just now you gotta start all over again because you
trying to keep up with somebody else. Man, stay down
