Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hold up, hold up this show Fall Alert, ball Alert Boller.
Welcome to the Ball Alert Show podcast, available everywhere you
get your podcasts. I go by the name Force Sims.
Hey you what is your best tis too? Sol boy, bet,
I'm in the building man. We got a special guests today,
(00:24):
Polo down drug. I've played this bit. Yeah, ship, so
you gonna co host with us today? Okay, I help you?
Okay with that. Let's tell about the plethora of things.
I know you're a man of good worlds. Yeah, that's
pretty cool. Okay, well that ship Sam. You guys ready,
(00:53):
let's go Democratic Senator war knock. When Georgia the runoff,
the guy named herschel Walker, Democrats will now have a
senate Know what you know why herschel Walker lost. I'm
gonna tell you why he lost because he started talking
(01:15):
about those those very parts and were wolves. You know,
I'm a cooon and heard I heard couls are the
smartest animals that ever. It was the pronoun people that
was scared. I ain't gonna cat. I was really scared
because I'm over here, like damn, this ship closer than
we think. I'm a felon, so he can't vote. I can't. Yeah,
(01:41):
well nobody. Well, I don't know people that really get
in there like that that I sit around because everybody
kind of like called charges and stuff. So we just
be looking. But your influence is a lot bigger than
the people that are just around you and your group circle.
Your voice isn't necessary someone we need. You did go
out and perform for some stuff, you know what I mean,
(02:04):
for Stacy one time and then um yeah, but like
my my close two people. Everybody that's okay, it's okay.
It's the two million on social media that we're talking about,
you know, yea, yeah, alright, Brittany Grinder is home. Come
yeah now now, I don't know, there's a lot of
(02:27):
people that are kind of upset about it. A prisoner
swap with Russian arms dealer Victor Bolt. They gave the
Merchant of death, you know, one of one for one
trade for Grinder. Now. Joe Biden tweeted, she's safe, she's
on the plane, she's on the way home. He also
look on TV couldn't wait to tweet. He looked like
(02:48):
he always need a nap. I don't know what's going
on at President. I could definitely tell he needs some energy.
Bars and he's eight years old. I think he older
than that. No, I tell you what they traded Britain
grounding for the wolfing the vampire. So I were talking
about that was that was a very interesting trade. He
(03:09):
definitely killed, gave the merchant of death. He would kill somebody.
Now we aren't talking about no little you know, a
little glot, little guy. What's that man name? Again? He
sounds like he to kill somebody. Facts will do. Okay.
So a lot of people feel like it wasn't a
fair trade. They're like, okay, it wasn't a fair trade.
(03:32):
It was all for the US. But it was a
w for you know, a black person for Vember. What
do you think it was a tipping point though, Like
what finally made him be like all right, we're gonna
give you all the merchant of death? And because yeah,
this was a media disaster slash nightmare. This was coverage
everywhere and then you know, keep in mind, uh, she's
(03:53):
a w NBA player that needed to play. A lot
of w NBA players play in America and overseas because
they don't make enough money in America on the w
n B A. So my question is who's gonna go
play for Russia facts. I almost felt like if she
(04:16):
was not sent over to like the prison camp and
she was just in like regular Russian jail or prison,
I almost feel like she would still be there. When
they started talking about all the homophobic things against her,
all the racist things against her, that's when I think
the US was like, we can't stand for this anytime,
my opinion, anytime you throw in you know, the LGBTQ community,
(04:39):
things seemed to be taken a little more seriously. Now
we already know that racism exists all over the world,
but I think when it got to that point, they
was like, all right, hold on, we're gonna have to
get to sit out, because that's just not a fair trade.
That man is back over there selling a ks right now,
probably stuff over there. And you guys know that Nike
dropped Kyrie Irvan. He covers the Nike shoe logo with
(05:01):
I Am Free, covering the swoosh logo and itching I
am free, Thank you God, I Am on a patch
of take after his break up with the Sneaker Giant.
Anybody got any thoughts of concerns about Kyrie, probably why
why are you doing that? I Am free? He was
making eleven million dollars. What are you free from a
year with Nike? What are you free from? What do
(05:25):
you free just because you get paid millions of the
go ahead n be heard? I guess they'd be sense
from him? You want to be black? Is he want
to be? You know what I mean? It's not always
about the check. Now, Sometimes you get you get tired
of being told to shut up and dribble. At some
(05:47):
point you want to be a human with a voice,
no matter what you do. That man is tired of
hearing shut up and dribble. Well, I think it's after
the fact when you make the money. When you make
the money, then then then you want to be free.
Everybody wants to be free after they have made all
the money. Now, why can't you want saying all this stuff?
Ten years ago he had that money, yet he got
(06:08):
the money now. I think Kenya always been saying the
same thing. It's just an increment. And if we put
it all together all together about what he's been saying,
it'll all come together. You know, he just got a
little spets. He does a bad at the setup. He
just kind of messed up. But he actulates himself in
it comes together. So I'm coming together lots money. It's
(06:32):
time for love versus money. It loves. In the minute
I met you, baby, I knew I wanted to manage
the love of money. Money. It's love versus money. They
said you can't put a price tag on love. I
love on the ball or Alert show come up. We
(06:54):
got every rosy together. That you're dating a boss, that
this boss that you've seen that's fine? Is that really
what kind of attracted you to him? To say, no,
that's the guy for me? Yeah, it's I think it's
the boss in him. I just think he's like, you know,
I like guys who lead, So when you're a leader,
(07:14):
you can step to me, you know. But again, when
it comes down to Ross, like Ross's type a person
who you look at and you just admire, you're inspired by,
Like I want to do what you're doing, will teach me.
So in the back end, I'm actually a student of
the game as well. So I mean, yeah, if you
want to say that, that's just what it is. It's official. Well,
(07:34):
Ross is in it for the love. I'm I'm assuming
and pretty V will be in it for says she's
a girl. If I'm not mistaken. I feel like I
had been seeing her literally has been putting her in
position series because you know, Ross is a romantic and
(07:54):
I think it's the first time has a way with women.
You know, it's pretty. I think Ross really likes her.
He does this is cool. I think he's I think
he styled you know, girl, man, it looks like he
can old baby. You know, I just love you guys
(08:18):
playing apples, you know what I'm saying, come to the
mansion all together. Man. I think Pretty V is smart enough,
and I'm gonna kicking to y'all to get y'all, but
I think she's smart enough to know that this could
potentially be loved. But right now, this is a good business.
Ship busness ship, business ship. I agree with ship. I'm
agree with you Ferrari. I don't agree. I think that
(08:41):
they are genuinely interested in each other, because so you
think both of them are there for the love. Yeah,
for the interest. You don't hear that they just got
together all right? Bullshit? Let me just say this. I
really thought, I really thought Pretty he would. No, they're
not a thing. We we had confirmed and he confirmed
(09:08):
one a thing. Okay, So I think they are genuinely
interested in each other. I think there are tons of
people that pretty v could get with if it was
just a business situation, Like I don't think it would
have to be Rick Ross. Like. I think they answered
each other like that's that stuff, you know. I pictured
(09:31):
Rick Ross with like a say what it is? Woman?
You know what I'm saying, larger woman, you're like like
a blood wise and horse type woman like that boy said.
But woman, you know, y'all just not saying that. Y'all
(09:53):
think you O. I really think that they both like
each other. However, I think that attractive to him too.
But I don't know, man, you know what, I don't know.
I think they're attract each other. I didn't say that.
(10:15):
I just said, pretty, you gotta come on the show.
We did it during the pandemic. You gott we're gonna
have We're gonna ask her. We're gonna freaking ask her.
Let's ask her. Alright, cool, Let's take a quick commercial break.
We'll be back with more of The Baller Alert Show podcast,
available everywhere you get your podcast. We'll be right back
(10:35):
with more of The Baller Alert Show. Welcome back to
The Baller Alert Show podcast available everywhere you get your
podcasts our guest host is in the building, Young drill
has it launt her pretty good? How you doing? I
appreciate you pulling up on this man. And I was
right down the street and you was on time? Yeah, man,
I was on. How is drow these days? I'm pretty good? Man?
(11:03):
Sober life is pretty good. I like that you start.
You opened it up with that because you know he's
gonna get there in there. For definitely said that she
was gonna be on time. Because you said I said
Brow was sober. Now he's gonna be on time. I
was like, no, I'm about to get some food. You know,
rappers be later outside? Really is on time? All right?
(11:25):
What are you sober from? We know what we'd um
well when Molly was out X pills, egs, we liquor cigarettes? Um,
what am I leaving out at a roll? Perko said.
(11:49):
And you would do these things all together sometimes too, right, Yes,
damn yeah. It was a combination, you know what I mean.
Whatever day I was feeling like, you know what suited
the day of the moment, you know what I mean,
I would actually indulge, and um that was just so
I would not not all of them like these, I
(12:09):
kind of like was trading vices, like you know, when
Molly was out, that was advice for me. Then like
I'll take zenage to sleep, you know what I mean.
Then when they started playing around with the Molly too
much and it started like changing color, had tan, you know,
they had tan, then they had pink and they had blue.
I was like, yeah, she looked like fruity peers. I'm good.
(12:30):
So then we switched to you know, perks, you know
what I mean. Then we switched to adderall you see
what I'm saying. But and so so when Molly was done,
because niggas really started doing ice and ship if I
was like, I don't really really funk with meth and
ship like that, so you know what I mean. So
it was it was almost like I was rolling with
(12:52):
the times on what was new and popular with drugs,
you know what I mean. And we used to put
Molly in lean you know what I mean, on sprinkling
on in the lean cup and like in the different
cocktails of it. How did it affect your performance your
personal life? It did my performance pretty good. Um, Like
(13:13):
it sounds crazy, but like I could put the mike
in my hand, you wouldn't know I was on anything,
but after the show, I wouldn't want to, like I
wouldn't do interviews, or I wouldn't make it to interviews,
or I'll be late or or like. And my social
life was kind of if I'm high, you could probably
(13:36):
be like d didn't get drove a tripping lat night,
you know what I'm saying. As opposed to me being
cool and calm, I probably in the beginning of it,
like in the beginning of it, when I'm waiting for
it to kick in, but by the time to kick in,
it's I'm all over the place. So it was it
was kind of like ending out. But the majority of
the important things I would miss. Do you feel like
(13:56):
your career would be a lot further if you were sober,
then like maybe you're in a room full of people
that you should have been talking to, should have been
building a relationship with, and that was your one time
in the room, but you were so high that you
couldn't make that connection any of times. Yeah, Like I,
like I said, it's just would count it. When it
count counting, I would be the most high. But and
(14:20):
then like it wasn't that I would do it on purpose.
It was my habit just showing up, you know what
I mean. I would want to get HT so bad
this day, you know, or I'll already be high, or
I'll be not had like a week long high time,
and by the time the money get there, I need
that to sleep, so I Can't'm not available, you know
(14:41):
what I mean. So it showed up in different ways,
and I think that that's what I really like go
around and talk about like it's always the drug. You
think you've got control over it until it shows up,
and it's just in that one day, don't seem that
bad until the year goo is by in its thirty
of those days. This sounds very expensive as well, because
(15:07):
because you're making money, you're young droe obviously, and how
much of how much like was your income dedicated to
purchasing a month I always spend on drugs with I
would say like between day, damn what that's somebody mortgage
between five and I'm not actually and taking that. This
(15:32):
is what it is what it takes to, you know,
all the girls, all the guys, you know, because it's
free around me just digging the bag and I think
I'm I'm trying to I'm looking for people to love
on me. I'm looking for validation. I'm looking for girls
to be okay, you know what I mean. I don't
want anybody to leave at this point, like you know
(15:52):
what I mean, I want I want you to come
into my world. So I'm kind of like buying you.
You know what I mean. I'm selling this image and
I'm and I'm wrapping about it in my lyrics and
people seeing me and are you high right now? I'm like, yeah,
you know what I mean. What you got my purse
on me? I got this on me. I got that
on me, you know what I'm saying. So it's almost
like I was lonely trying to, you know, see what
(16:14):
everybody was doing that day, and I want everybody to
come on my house. And you know when you get there,
ship perse on the table, weed on the table, alcohol
right there. You know what I mean? This over here
and that over that, you know what I mean? So
music of music? What made you decide to stop? Um?
(16:37):
I guess the repeat? It was always something in me.
You know. I used to sit around because I used
to be really really on drugs, really bad in the beginning,
and we used to be out in the streets and
I used to tell people, you know, they I used
to always grab the notebook and just be writing and
you can come into like I used to sit and
(16:58):
um hot Ti Ridge off of off Mall of the King.
They called it the nine over. There was savage and
me used to be so I used to sit out
there and right before the best thing smoking came out
and you can just walk in the room and you
just see me in that right now. And I was
on drawers really really bad and what And I always
told him, I was like, well, I ain't gonna be
doing this. Ship would be too long, you know. They
(17:18):
were like cray, like, well, you know what I'm saying.
I got some stuff. I you know, I'm really just
trying to get this music stuff done. And you know
what I'm saying. I know we didn't here getting high,
and you know what I'm saying, but I ain't gonna
be here for this. Is so it was always in
me too, you know, one day, but it just never
it just was a grip on me so tight. When
I felt like I had control, it was like, well
the drug was like, well no, this is actually serious
(17:41):
to what you think. You cannot quit and when you say,
you know what I'm saying, Okay, you can stop for
a week or two, but you'll be back, you know
what I mean. And I used to be like and
I prayed a lot, you know what I'm saying. I
knew it was fucked up, but it was just the
way it had my stomach feeling. I got pull up
out a spot and my stomach could get weak because
(18:03):
I was like this ship called me like that, you know,
And I was and I used to be like this,
she ain't even got no eyes, no mouth. You don't
have to if you feel is in a plastic bag
or you know what I'm saying, And it's just and
it's calling me like that. So my body had done
got used to it. And then like so and then
like you know, my I think me praying to me
(18:23):
and close like starting out in the church, you know
what I mean, what my mama always said, and you
know what people would say, a little spatter man, you
can be certainly you can do this, and you can
do that. And then like, um, well this what made
me really stop when my child came in the house,
how something, you know what I mean. I was like, damn,
(18:44):
my little girl you know, first it was sweet, you're
feeling me, but you know, she grew up. My baby
mama really didn't let me see it like that. I
got three kids and three different baby mamas, so you
know what I mean. The downside of that is we're
not in the same home, you know what I mean.
And and I'm still running around being a horror, you
(19:06):
know what I mean. So it's I don't have that
one on one daddy daughter thing, which i'm their monetary wise,
but actually being the father and actually seeing this, you
know what I mean, I kind of like dropped the
ball on that with my you know, choice of how
I approach women in the relationships that I wanted, you
(19:28):
know what I mean, So and and and and when
I say that, I take my piece of the blame,
you know what I mean for what you know, my actions.
But it was a lot of things that my baby
mama did to her. You know, you can't see her
or you know what I mean, this and that, but
most for the most part, we split it in half.
So by the time my little girl showed up and
(19:49):
I had witnessed this, she was on weed. I was like,
oh I told about it. I was like, well, you know,
our family really funked up on this stuff, like it
can get out of hand, you know what I mean.
So she really did listen. So she went on out
into the world. And man, when she came back and
I went out and saw her, I was like, damn.
So she picked up the phone. She was like, Dad,
(20:10):
I don't look the same, so don't don't cry when
you walk up on me. I'm like, god, damn. And
I go see her. Man, I just felt on my
knees and I was like, baby, just getting the car,
We're gonna go see about this ship, you know what
I'm saying, And like that moment is the moment when
you I was. I was. I was booking it on
the way in the car. I was already I was
(20:31):
filling out the stuff I feel. I was like, we're
gonna go together, you know what I'm saying, And this
HeiG gonna go. She was like yeah, So she she
was really out of her mind. I'm talking out literally,
no shoes on, hands, dirty feet, dirty you fear me,
part me old man, beer kins, baggy is all that
ship was like. It was like I've seen out of
(20:52):
a movie. And I was like, lord, I know you
ain't just feed me this and I had to eat it,
you know what I'm saying. And so I was like, yeah,
this is for me. I had tried a little bit
in the past. Tip had tried to. Tip was like, Bro,
we gotta you know, because we started out together, you
know what I mean. And Tip, y'all used to be like, bro,
you need to go get some help. I ain't going
(21:13):
without you because we we started, you know, in that
kind of game. But Tip actually he kind of like
he did, he kind of like went big dog and
just was like, but this's how you do it. Like,
and I'm gonna have to cut you off if you
don't get yourself together in your head because you were
so close you're feeling me. I can't get straight if
you're not, you know what I mean. So if we
(21:34):
ain't on the same page, we're gonna have you know,
we ain't gonna leave each other. But if I can't
convince you that help yourself, I have to go ahead
and help myself and maybe I can come back for you.
But you know, so that that was how it went
with me and him. So I was there one time
and then I was sitting there and we was getting
all this money and I heard these people talking about things.
(21:55):
He not the gottish kid, and I was like, well,
I ain't that kind of junkie, you know what I mean, celebrity.
We had cars and you know, we're running faring out
this dreary, all these women like me, and it was
just it was steady creeping. It was just walking me down.
And it walked me all the way down to zero dollars,
you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, it walked me
all the way down to zero dollars. And I think
(22:16):
God was like, now what you know what I mean?
And I was like, I stopped for a second, you know,
get myself back. And then you know, I think I
went to breakfast club and I got mack and it
was called and I was doing the drill revamp thing.
You know what I'm saying. I started doing you know
a little bit better, you know what I mean, And
um um, I guess God was just still blessing me
(22:37):
with hits and stuff, you know what I mean. You
know what I'm saying. I would go down and come
back up, and go down and come back up, you
know what I mean. But my my little girl. And
then I was like Okay, I gotta stop everything because
I still was doing weed and drinking you know, champagne,
and and sometimes I would stop weed, you know what
I mean. And sometimes and I was just in interviews
just lying like a mother, like you clean, Like yeah,
(23:00):
you know what I'm saying. But I thought my clean
was it was normal to smoke weed, it was normal
to have a drink or two, you know what I mean.
It was normal. So when they asked me, was I clean?
I was like yeah, And for the most part at
that time, that's what I considered clean. You feel me.
But the the realization of what I was trying to
you know, I was trying to figure I was trying
(23:21):
to figure out myself what is clean to me? You
feel me? And I thought I was like, that was
what was clean to me. And then I when I
saw my daughter on that and where she was headed,
I said, no, clean is everything, you know what I mean?
I could. I remember talking to Gucci and he was
telling me, man, you need to get all the way
across the board clean, and I just couldn't understand, you know,
(23:42):
letting it go, all of it. I was like, like
boring after that, you know what I'm saying I ain't
even gonna be the same person, and I was scared
to be like normal. I was scared to be better,
you know what I mean. And I really feared that,
Like I really was, like my music ain't gonna be
the same. I ain't gonna stand in the club with
like this bit a't gonna like me and this thing
ain't gonna be fun. I'm like, I'm gonna lose all
(24:03):
these people, and like none of that ship really mattered
when I when I saw my daughter like that, I
was like, I'm gonna go ahead and be all the
way clean. So now she's sober and still, yeah, she's
still I just had to go ahead of her and
pray to God, like that's why I was when we
did the interview, I was asking for prayer, like because
I don't know people people talk about me so bad
(24:26):
on on social media? What draw ahead? And why he
ain't and you know, and she and she always mentioned
my name, like my dad is this person? They be
like why the fun you feel me? And now if
I if I could make that choice for it, I
would most definitely snap my finger. And she's off of it,
you know what I mean. I can't control her going
out doing drugs, and she has to want, she has
(24:48):
to get to help for them to help her. I mean,
I think you definitely said a couple of valuable, super
valuable things, and that I think a lot of people
assumed that the relationship between you and t I fell
off on a negative note. What you're saying is no,
t I love me enough and loves himself enough to say, hey,
I'm here for you. I'm never leaving you. But if
you don't make a decision to be a better person,
(25:11):
I have to move on. And you had to fast
forward show that same type of love to your own child. Um,
I'm working like seventeen months ago, yeah, very fresh. I
was out at metro Boomings released party of people was
just telling me, I mean, you a legend, don't let
(25:33):
nobody tell you different, And three people said the same
exact thing. I was like, it's God talking to me.
He right, But but I felt so out of place.
You know what I'm saying because I'm used to and
I was. I was denying blunting people handing my like nahem,
those environments, it's it's it's some justice dopeest lyricists ever.
(25:56):
Bro The word play with the with the goddamn colors
and damn ship. You definitely have a support system behind you.
I mean, you know, when Ry and I interviewed you
on our radio show and we ask for people to
call in, there were people calling in well after the show,
Like there were callers that we could not play on
air because we were already off air. But people were
(26:18):
constantly calling because they want you to know that you
are loved. Even though hip hop may look different right now,
even though some some of the younger kids coming up
may not show a lot of respect to the O
G s, Like, you got millions of people that support you,
not even just because of your music, but because of
who you are. I think it's very easy to see
that you are a person full of good energy. You've
(26:39):
got good light. What I want to ask now, though,
is like what is your intention with talking about sobriety
right now? Like what do you want to get out
of talking to millions of people about your sobriety? I mean,
like hope for the most important, Like I want to
actually give out hope, and um, I want to just
give my story to too, like be of service. You
(27:02):
know what I mean, because I believe. I didn't believe
I was gonna change, to be serious, I thought I
was gonna always do something. I was like because when
I got to rehab, she was like, so, what are
you gonna what are you not gonna stop doing? I
was like, well, i' gonna spoke. We didn't drink, and
when I got there, I was like, yeah, I'm just
chilling everything, you know what I mean. So and it's
and it's been cool. So I just want to be
(27:23):
able to help a lot of my a lot of
young black men that think that doing drugs and fitting
in it's cool, you know what I mean, It's not
who like And then I'm glad to be walk away
with my health still, you know, like because it's a
lot of us, you know, when we do these things,
were just thinking we're just doing it. We don't feel
(27:44):
it then, you know what I mean. But when we
get older, you know, those organs started kicking out and
that drinking every night and smoking all the time, and
you know what I mean, Like, if you if you
can make it out with your health, you know what
I mean, don't don't push it until you feel me
until the doctor say, well, you're gonna have to do this,
you know what I mean. So I want to just
get the story out as a part of your sobriety.
(28:06):
Do you are you going back to so many people
that you Yeah, I'm like always like if I see you,
almost definitely gonna make it right. Or if I'm asked
a question, I'm definitely holding holding accountability for my actions.
That goes for past relationships or you know what I mean,
Like you know, somebody asked me a question about um
(28:27):
when me and Fantasias dated, and I had to address
that and telling that, you know, I was drugged up
and high and I wasn't ready for a strong woman
like that in my life, and like you know, and
then I know, I know the beautiful person, you know
what I mean, just I wasn't ready for I wasn't
man enough to be in a position like with a
(28:49):
strong woman like that, you know what I mean. And
I can take accountability for that, like the my Tip relationship,
you know what I mean a lot of things that
he's always drop. I'm called drop and I used to
just be somewhere in a spot just hies I can
be you know what I mean, And I know he
probably wouldn't wanted me to show up to some of
(29:09):
these places, and you know what I'm saying, and like
what throwing out of here? You know what I'm saying,
Joe and nine or Joe and Folk seeding somewhere, you
know what I'm saying that, And I just I don't
know why I used to run. I used to like searching.
I was searching for something. I don't know what it
was because right now I'm looking from looking at it
(29:30):
from right here I was I'm thinking myself, like what
the hell was I looking for? And I think I
was just trying to or he was running from so
I was running for something, you know what I mean.
Like I used to be in the room with big wigs,
you know, and I'll do what I gotta do, wrap
real good and get out of there. You know. I'll
do songs with Jeezy, I'll do songs with for Rell,
you know what I mean. But then once once it's over,
(29:52):
I was like, Okay, I got that done. Now I'm
about to go to the hood. And I don't know
what kept drawing me to that, And I think that
you know it was It's almost like you had impostor syndrome,
Like you just felt like maybe you were more comfortable
in the hood because that was your environment, that's where
you came from. But then you were around super successful
people and you probably as much as you knew you
(30:13):
were talented enough to be in that room, you may
not have felt like confident, like I belong in this room.
So let me go back to what I know that
was perfectly put. So when the last time you talked
to Tip Um, I was on the phone. I was
on a FaceTime CALLO throwed off one and when I
FaceTime him, I was just telling him about the show,
(30:36):
and then he just turned the phone and then Mentip
got on the phone together and he was like, Hey,
I've seen you on um a podcast and he was talking.
He was like, man, it's some good ship if you
know what I'm saying, And I was, and we just
went to reminiscing and talking whatever, and then like we
just got off the phone. But for the most part,
we haven't sat down and at the brother conversation. And
(30:59):
I I really want to do that with without you know, UM,
any anybody. Yeah, because we we we really got like
over twenty years, you know, we're knowing each other. He's
always been a big like a big brother, like you
know what I mean. I'm older, but he always been
like a big brother, you know what I mean to me,
(31:20):
and gave me guidance and talk to me, you know,
gave me like a lot of respect, you know what
I mean. And and actually you know, turned me onto
my first million bucks, you know what I'm saying. And
now I'm always in debt to him, you know what
I mean. So it's once I once we do collap
and sit back down, I know we can get through.
It's like any any any brother situation, you know what
(31:40):
I mean, any family situation, we can work it out. Okay,
So what new music you got coming up? Uh? I
just dropped Wednesday. It's a song called run Out of Time.
I actually was. It's a trilogy. It's three or three.
The run out of Time is like um us as
young black men, we we we don't do things into
(32:02):
it's too late, you know. Um perfect example, the Mego situation,
you know whatever they was going through now shot of Dead.
You know what I'm saying. I bet they wish that
they worked that out before that happened. And we should
take the initiative to do these things like men. You know,
what I'm saying, like, let's get this out of the way, bro,
because we too, we too, we then came up in
(32:24):
the same industry together. Let's work this out and you know,
and then that's that goes for like parents, if you
if you're into it with your parents or or sibling
or you know what I mean, just just men these things, man,
before you run out of time, you know what I mean,
put these guns down, and you know what I mean.
So I put the video out. I actually wrapped about
(32:45):
all of the rappers that we had that that was
that was close to me that I knew that we
had lost, you know, I just crammed them into the
second verse, you know what I mean. And um, it
was very it was very a passionate song from me,
you know what I mean, that me as they told, me,
as they told and put together it came out. Yeah. Yeah,
Tobin and Dietrich hadn't is singing on it. The gospel singer.
(33:07):
He's a great, great singer man. And like when after
I wrapped on it and he song on it and
he sent it back that she made me cry. So
I'm like, damn, yeah, let's take a quick commercial break.
We'll be back with baller mail right here on the
ball Or Show podcast. We'll be right back with more

the shout hey on the screen, give me some shots
before we had drow signed off, Happy holidays, man. I

looking at that and get that person some type of motivation.

Man that has looked up to Young Drow, and then
give him some motivation. My name is Young Drow. If
you didn't know, and um, if you are going through something,
they're like, man that that seems a little a bit challenging.
I think you should, um take the time to go
on walks, no phone, um, going walks and communicate with
(37:37):
yourself first, you feel me, and then communicate with God.
Put him first. And I pretty much believed that everything
goes and be taken care of. You feel what I'm
saying if if it seems really really hard, grab the
whole of your family, man, because family means more than
anything on earth. You feel me. If you don't have family,
(37:57):
you don't have any foundation. Um and yeah, that's the
pep talk from you. I can't get enough of baller Alert.

Okay with that. Let's tell about the plethora of things.
I know you're a man of good worlds. Yeah, that's
pretty cool. Okay, well that ship Sam. You guys ready,
(00:53):
let's go Democratic Senator war knock. When Georgia the runoff,
the guy named herschel Walker, Democrats will now have a
senate Know what you know why herschel Walker lost. I'm
gonna tell you why he lost because he started talking
(01:15):
about those those very parts and were wolves. You know,
I'm a cooon and heard I heard couls are the
smartest animals that ever. It was the pronoun people that
was scared. I ain't gonna cat. I was really scared
because I'm over here, like damn, this ship closer than
we think. I'm a felon, so he can't vote. I can't. Yeah,
(01:41):
well nobody. Well, I don't know people that really get
in there like that that I sit around because everybody
kind of like called charges and stuff. So we just
be looking. But your influence is a lot bigger than
the people that are just around you and your group circle.
Your voice isn't necessary someone we need. You did go
out and perform for some stuff, you know what I mean,
(02:04):
for Stacy one time and then um yeah, but like
my my close two people. Everybody that's okay, it's okay.
It's the two million on social media that we're talking about,
you know, yea, yeah, alright, Brittany Grinder is home. Come
yeah now now, I don't know, there's a lot of
(02:27):
people that are kind of upset about it. A prisoner
swap with Russian arms dealer Victor Bolt. They gave the
Merchant of death, you know, one of one for one
trade for Grinder. Now. Joe Biden tweeted, she's safe, she's
on the plane, she's on the way home. He also
look on TV couldn't wait to tweet. He looked like
(02:48):
he always need a nap. I don't know what's going
on at President. I could definitely tell he needs some energy.
Bars and he's eight years old. I think he older
than that. No, I tell you what they traded Britain
grounding for the wolfing the vampire. So I were talking
about that was that was a very interesting trade. He
(03:09):
definitely killed, gave the merchant of death. He would kill somebody.
Now we aren't talking about no little you know, a
little glot, little guy. What's that man name? Again? He
sounds like he to kill somebody. Facts will do. Okay.
So a lot of people feel like it wasn't a
fair trade. They're like, okay, it wasn't a fair trade.
(03:32):
It was all for the US. But it was a
w for you know, a black person for Vember. What
do you think it was a tipping point though, Like
what finally made him be like all right, we're gonna
give you all the merchant of death? And because yeah,
this was a media disaster slash nightmare. This was coverage
everywhere and then you know, keep in mind, uh, she's
(03:53):
a w NBA player that needed to play. A lot
of w NBA players play in America and overseas because
they don't make enough money in America on the w
n B A. So my question is who's gonna go
play for Russia facts. I almost felt like if she
(04:16):
was not sent over to like the prison camp and
she was just in like regular Russian jail or prison,
I almost feel like she would still be there. When
they started talking about all the homophobic things against her,
all the racist things against her, that's when I think
the US was like, we can't stand for this anytime,
my opinion, anytime you throw in you know, the LGBTQ community,
(04:39):
things seemed to be taken a little more seriously. Now
we already know that racism exists all over the world,
but I think when it got to that point, they
was like, all right, hold on, we're gonna have to
get to sit out, because that's just not a fair trade.
That man is back over there selling a ks right now,
probably stuff over there. And you guys know that Nike
dropped Kyrie Irvan. He covers the Nike shoe logo with
(05:01):
I Am Free, covering the swoosh logo and itching I
am free, Thank you God, I Am on a patch
of take after his break up with the Sneaker Giant.
Anybody got any thoughts of concerns about Kyrie, probably why
why are you doing that? I Am free? He was
making eleven million dollars. What are you free from a
year with Nike? What are you free from? What do
(05:25):
you free just because you get paid millions of the
go ahead n be heard? I guess they'd be sense
from him? You want to be black? Is he want
to be? You know what I mean? It's not always
about the check. Now, Sometimes you get you get tired
of being told to shut up and dribble. At some
(05:47):
point you want to be a human with a voice,
no matter what you do. That man is tired of
hearing shut up and dribble. Well, I think it's after
the fact when you make the money. When you make
the money, then then then you want to be free.
Everybody wants to be free after they have made all
the money. Now, why can't you want saying all this stuff?
Ten years ago he had that money, yet he got
(06:08):
the money now. I think Kenya always been saying the
same thing. It's just an increment. And if we put
it all together all together about what he's been saying,
it'll all come together. You know, he just got a
little spets. He does a bad at the setup. He
just kind of messed up. But he actulates himself in
it comes together. So I'm coming together lots money. It's
(06:32):
time for love versus money. It loves. In the minute
I met you, baby, I knew I wanted to manage
the love of money. Money. It's love versus money. They
said you can't put a price tag on love. I
love on the ball or Alert show come up. We
(06:54):
got every rosy together. That you're dating a boss, that
this boss that you've seen that's fine? Is that really
what kind of attracted you to him? To say, no,
that's the guy for me? Yeah, it's I think it's
the boss in him. I just think he's like, you know,
I like guys who lead, So when you're a leader,
(07:14):
you can step to me, you know. But again, when
it comes down to Ross, like Ross's type a person
who you look at and you just admire, you're inspired by,
Like I want to do what you're doing, will teach me.
So in the back end, I'm actually a student of
the game as well. So I mean, yeah, if you
want to say that, that's just what it is. It's official. Well,
(07:34):
Ross is in it for the love. I'm I'm assuming
and pretty V will be in it for says she's
a girl. If I'm not mistaken. I feel like I
had been seeing her literally has been putting her in
position series because you know, Ross is a romantic and
(07:54):
I think it's the first time has a way with women.
You know, it's pretty. I think Ross really likes her.
He does this is cool. I think he's I think
he styled you know, girl, man, it looks like he
can old baby. You know, I just love you guys
(08:18):
playing apples, you know what I'm saying, come to the
mansion all together. Man. I think Pretty V is smart enough,
and I'm gonna kicking to y'all to get y'all, but
I think she's smart enough to know that this could
potentially be loved. But right now, this is a good business.
Ship busness ship, business ship. I agree with ship. I'm
agree with you Ferrari. I don't agree. I think that
(08:41):
they are genuinely interested in each other, because so you
think both of them are there for the love. Yeah,
for the interest. You don't hear that they just got
together all right? Bullshit? Let me just say this. I
really thought, I really thought Pretty he would. No, they're
not a thing. We we had confirmed and he confirmed
(09:08):
one a thing. Okay, So I think they are genuinely
interested in each other. I think there are tons of
people that pretty v could get with if it was
just a business situation, Like I don't think it would
have to be Rick Ross. Like. I think they answered
each other like that's that stuff, you know. I pictured
(09:31):
Rick Ross with like a say what it is? Woman?
You know what I'm saying, larger woman, you're like like
a blood wise and horse type woman like that boy said.
But woman, you know, y'all just not saying that. Y'all
(09:53):
think you O. I really think that they both like
each other. However, I think that attractive to him too.
But I don't know, man, you know what, I don't know.
I think they're attract each other. I didn't say that.
(10:15):
I just said, pretty, you gotta come on the show.
We did it during the pandemic. You gott we're gonna
have We're gonna ask her. We're gonna freaking ask her.
Let's ask her. Alright, cool, Let's take a quick commercial break.
We'll be back with more of The Baller Alert Show podcast,
available everywhere you get your podcast. We'll be right back
(10:35):
with more of The Baller Alert Show. Welcome back to
The Baller Alert Show podcast available everywhere you get your
podcasts our guest host is in the building, Young drill
has it launt her pretty good? How you doing? I
appreciate you pulling up on this man. And I was
right down the street and you was on time? Yeah, man,
I was on. How is drow these days? I'm pretty good? Man?
(11:03):
Sober life is pretty good. I like that you start.
You opened it up with that because you know he's
gonna get there in there. For definitely said that she
was gonna be on time. Because you said I said
Brow was sober. Now he's gonna be on time. I
was like, no, I'm about to get some food. You know,
rappers be later outside? Really is on time? All right?
(11:25):
What are you sober from? We know what we'd um
well when Molly was out X pills, egs, we liquor cigarettes? Um,
what am I leaving out at a roll? Perko said.
(11:49):
And you would do these things all together sometimes too, right, Yes,
damn yeah. It was a combination, you know what I mean.
Whatever day I was feeling like, you know what suited
the day of the moment, you know what I mean,
I would actually indulge, and um that was just so
I would not not all of them like these, I
(12:09):
kind of like was trading vices, like you know, when
Molly was out, that was advice for me. Then like
I'll take zenage to sleep, you know what I mean.
Then when they started playing around with the Molly too
much and it started like changing color, had tan, you know,
they had tan, then they had pink and they had blue.
I was like, yeah, she looked like fruity peers. I'm good.
(12:30):
So then we switched to you know, perks, you know
what I mean. Then we switched to adderall you see
what I'm saying. But and so so when Molly was done,
because niggas really started doing ice and ship if I
was like, I don't really really funk with meth and
ship like that, so you know what I mean. So
it was it was almost like I was rolling with
(12:52):
the times on what was new and popular with drugs,
you know what I mean. And we used to put
Molly in lean you know what I mean, on sprinkling
on in the lean cup and like in the different
cocktails of it. How did it affect your performance your
personal life? It did my performance pretty good. Um, Like
(13:13):
it sounds crazy, but like I could put the mike
in my hand, you wouldn't know I was on anything,
but after the show, I wouldn't want to, like I
wouldn't do interviews, or I wouldn't make it to interviews,
or I'll be late or or like. And my social
life was kind of if I'm high, you could probably
(13:36):
be like d didn't get drove a tripping lat night,
you know what I'm saying. As opposed to me being
cool and calm, I probably in the beginning of it,
like in the beginning of it, when I'm waiting for
it to kick in, but by the time to kick in,
it's I'm all over the place. So it was it
was kind of like ending out. But the majority of
the important things I would miss. Do you feel like
(13:56):
your career would be a lot further if you were sober,
then like maybe you're in a room full of people
that you should have been talking to, should have been
building a relationship with, and that was your one time
in the room, but you were so high that you
couldn't make that connection any of times. Yeah, Like I,
like I said, it's just would count it. When it
count counting, I would be the most high. But and
(14:20):
then like it wasn't that I would do it on purpose.
It was my habit just showing up, you know what
I mean. I would want to get HT so bad
this day, you know, or I'll already be high, or
I'll be not had like a week long high time,
and by the time the money get there, I need
that to sleep, so I Can't'm not available, you know
(14:41):
what I mean. So it showed up in different ways,
and I think that that's what I really like go
around and talk about like it's always the drug. You
think you've got control over it until it shows up,
and it's just in that one day, don't seem that
bad until the year goo is by in its thirty
of those days. This sounds very expensive as well, because
(15:07):
because you're making money, you're young droe obviously, and how
much of how much like was your income dedicated to
purchasing a month I always spend on drugs with I
would say like between day, damn what that's somebody mortgage
between five and I'm not actually and taking that. This
(15:32):
is what it is what it takes to, you know,
all the girls, all the guys, you know, because it's
free around me just digging the bag and I think
I'm I'm trying to I'm looking for people to love
on me. I'm looking for validation. I'm looking for girls
to be okay, you know what I mean. I don't
want anybody to leave at this point, like you know
(15:52):
what I mean, I want I want you to come
into my world. So I'm kind of like buying you.
You know what I mean. I'm selling this image and
I'm and I'm wrapping about it in my lyrics and
people seeing me and are you high right now? I'm like, yeah,
you know what I mean. What you got my purse
on me? I got this on me. I got that
on me, you know what I'm saying. So it's almost
like I was lonely trying to, you know, see what
(16:14):
everybody was doing that day, and I want everybody to
come on my house. And you know when you get there,
ship perse on the table, weed on the table, alcohol
right there. You know what I mean? This over here
and that over that, you know what I mean? So
music of music? What made you decide to stop? Um?
(16:37):
I guess the repeat? It was always something in me.
You know. I used to sit around because I used
to be really really on drugs, really bad in the beginning,
and we used to be out in the streets and
I used to tell people, you know, they I used
to always grab the notebook and just be writing and
you can come into like I used to sit and
(16:58):
um hot Ti Ridge off of off Mall of the King.
They called it the nine over. There was savage and
me used to be so I used to sit out
there and right before the best thing smoking came out
and you can just walk in the room and you
just see me in that right now. And I was
on drawers really really bad and what And I always
told him, I was like, well, I ain't gonna be
doing this. Ship would be too long, you know. They
(17:18):
were like cray, like, well, you know what I'm saying.
I got some stuff. I you know, I'm really just
trying to get this music stuff done. And you know
what I'm saying. I know we didn't here getting high,
and you know what I'm saying, but I ain't gonna
be here for this. Is so it was always in
me too, you know, one day, but it just never
it just was a grip on me so tight. When
I felt like I had control, it was like, well
the drug was like, well no, this is actually serious
(17:41):
to what you think. You cannot quit and when you say,
you know what I'm saying, Okay, you can stop for
a week or two, but you'll be back, you know
what I mean. And I used to be like and
I prayed a lot, you know what I'm saying. I
knew it was fucked up, but it was just the
way it had my stomach feeling. I got pull up
out a spot and my stomach could get weak because
(18:03):
I was like this ship called me like that, you know,
And I was and I used to be like this,
she ain't even got no eyes, no mouth. You don't
have to if you feel is in a plastic bag
or you know what I'm saying, And it's just and
it's calling me like that. So my body had done
got used to it. And then like so and then
like you know, my I think me praying to me
(18:23):
and close like starting out in the church, you know
what I mean, what my mama always said, and you
know what people would say, a little spatter man, you
can be certainly you can do this, and you can
do that. And then like, um, well this what made
me really stop when my child came in the house,
how something, you know what I mean. I was like, damn,
(18:44):
my little girl you know, first it was sweet, you're
feeling me, but you know, she grew up. My baby
mama really didn't let me see it like that. I
got three kids and three different baby mamas, so you
know what I mean. The downside of that is we're
not in the same home, you know what I mean.
And and I'm still running around being a horror, you
(19:06):
know what I mean. So it's I don't have that
one on one daddy daughter thing, which i'm their monetary wise,
but actually being the father and actually seeing this, you
know what I mean, I kind of like dropped the
ball on that with my you know, choice of how
I approach women in the relationships that I wanted, you
(19:28):
know what I mean, So and and and and when
I say that, I take my piece of the blame,
you know what I mean for what you know, my actions.
But it was a lot of things that my baby
mama did to her. You know, you can't see her
or you know what I mean, this and that, but
most for the most part, we split it in half.
So by the time my little girl showed up and
(19:49):
I had witnessed this, she was on weed. I was like,
oh I told about it. I was like, well, you know,
our family really funked up on this stuff, like it
can get out of hand, you know what I mean.
So she really did listen. So she went on out
into the world. And man, when she came back and
I went out and saw her, I was like, damn.
So she picked up the phone. She was like, Dad,
(20:10):
I don't look the same, so don't don't cry when
you walk up on me. I'm like, god, damn. And
I go see her. Man, I just felt on my
knees and I was like, baby, just getting the car,
We're gonna go see about this ship, you know what
I'm saying, And like that moment is the moment when
you I was. I was. I was booking it on
the way in the car. I was already I was
(20:31):
filling out the stuff I feel. I was like, we're
gonna go together, you know what I'm saying, And this
HeiG gonna go. She was like yeah, So she she
was really out of her mind. I'm talking out literally,
no shoes on, hands, dirty feet, dirty you fear me,
part me old man, beer kins, baggy is all that
ship was like. It was like I've seen out of
(20:52):
a movie. And I was like, lord, I know you
ain't just feed me this and I had to eat it,
you know what I'm saying. And so I was like, yeah,
this is for me. I had tried a little bit
in the past. Tip had tried to. Tip was like, Bro,
we gotta you know, because we started out together, you
know what I mean. And Tip, y'all used to be like, bro,
you need to go get some help. I ain't going
(21:13):
without you because we we started, you know, in that
kind of game. But Tip actually he kind of like
he did, he kind of like went big dog and
just was like, but this's how you do it. Like,
and I'm gonna have to cut you off if you
don't get yourself together in your head because you were
so close you're feeling me. I can't get straight if
you're not, you know what I mean. So if we
(21:34):
ain't on the same page, we're gonna have you know,
we ain't gonna leave each other. But if I can't
convince you that help yourself, I have to go ahead
and help myself and maybe I can come back for you.
But you know, so that that was how it went
with me and him. So I was there one time
and then I was sitting there and we was getting
all this money and I heard these people talking about things.
(21:55):
He not the gottish kid, and I was like, well,
I ain't that kind of junkie, you know what I mean, celebrity.
We had cars and you know, we're running faring out
this dreary, all these women like me, and it was
just it was steady creeping. It was just walking me down.
And it walked me all the way down to zero dollars,
you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, it walked me
all the way down to zero dollars. And I think
(22:16):
God was like, now what you know what I mean?
And I was like, I stopped for a second, you know,
get myself back. And then you know, I think I
went to breakfast club and I got mack and it
was called and I was doing the drill revamp thing.
You know what I'm saying. I started doing you know
a little bit better, you know what I mean, And
um um, I guess God was just still blessing me
(22:37):
with hits and stuff, you know what I mean. You
know what I'm saying. I would go down and come
back up, and go down and come back up, you
know what I mean. But my my little girl. And
then I was like Okay, I gotta stop everything because
I still was doing weed and drinking you know, champagne,
and and sometimes I would stop weed, you know what
I mean. And sometimes and I was just in interviews
just lying like a mother, like you clean, Like yeah,
(23:00):
you know what I'm saying. But I thought my clean
was it was normal to smoke weed, it was normal
to have a drink or two, you know what I mean.
It was normal. So when they asked me, was I clean?
I was like yeah, And for the most part at
that time, that's what I considered clean. You feel me.
But the the realization of what I was trying to
you know, I was trying to figure I was trying
(23:21):
to figure out myself what is clean to me? You
feel me? And I thought I was like, that was
what was clean to me. And then I when I
saw my daughter on that and where she was headed,
I said, no, clean is everything, you know what I mean?
I could. I remember talking to Gucci and he was
telling me, man, you need to get all the way
across the board clean, and I just couldn't understand, you know,
(23:42):
letting it go, all of it. I was like, like
boring after that, you know what I'm saying I ain't
even gonna be the same person, and I was scared
to be like normal. I was scared to be better,
you know what I mean. And I really feared that,
Like I really was, like my music ain't gonna be
the same. I ain't gonna stand in the club with
like this bit a't gonna like me and this thing
ain't gonna be fun. I'm like, I'm gonna lose all
(24:03):
these people, and like none of that ship really mattered
when I when I saw my daughter like that, I
was like, I'm gonna go ahead and be all the
way clean. So now she's sober and still, yeah, she's
still I just had to go ahead of her and
pray to God, like that's why I was when we
did the interview, I was asking for prayer, like because
I don't know people people talk about me so bad
(24:26):
on on social media? What draw ahead? And why he
ain't and you know, and she and she always mentioned
my name, like my dad is this person? They be
like why the fun you feel me? And now if
I if I could make that choice for it, I
would most definitely snap my finger. And she's off of it,
you know what I mean. I can't control her going
out doing drugs, and she has to want, she has
(24:48):
to get to help for them to help her. I mean,
I think you definitely said a couple of valuable, super
valuable things, and that I think a lot of people
assumed that the relationship between you and t I fell
off on a negative note. What you're saying is no,
t I love me enough and loves himself enough to say, hey,
I'm here for you. I'm never leaving you. But if
you don't make a decision to be a better person,
(25:11):
I have to move on. And you had to fast
forward show that same type of love to your own child. Um,
I'm working like seventeen months ago, yeah, very fresh. I
was out at metro Boomings released party of people was
just telling me, I mean, you a legend, don't let
(25:33):
nobody tell you different, And three people said the same
exact thing. I was like, it's God talking to me.
He right, But but I felt so out of place.
You know what I'm saying because I'm used to and
I was. I was denying blunting people handing my like nahem,
those environments, it's it's it's some justice dopeest lyricists ever.
(25:56):
Bro The word play with the with the goddamn colors
and damn ship. You definitely have a support system behind you.
I mean, you know, when Ry and I interviewed you
on our radio show and we ask for people to
call in, there were people calling in well after the show,
Like there were callers that we could not play on
air because we were already off air. But people were
(26:18):
constantly calling because they want you to know that you
are loved. Even though hip hop may look different right now,
even though some some of the younger kids coming up
may not show a lot of respect to the O
G s, Like, you got millions of people that support you,
not even just because of your music, but because of
who you are. I think it's very easy to see
that you are a person full of good energy. You've
(26:39):
got good light. What I want to ask now, though,
is like what is your intention with talking about sobriety
right now? Like what do you want to get out
of talking to millions of people about your sobriety? I mean,
like hope for the most important, Like I want to
actually give out hope, and um, I want to just
give my story to too, like be of service. You
(27:02):
know what I mean, because I believe. I didn't believe
I was gonna change, to be serious, I thought I
was gonna always do something. I was like because when
I got to rehab, she was like, so, what are
you gonna what are you not gonna stop doing? I
was like, well, i' gonna spoke. We didn't drink, and
when I got there, I was like, yeah, I'm just
chilling everything, you know what I mean. So and it's
and it's been cool. So I just want to be
(27:23):
able to help a lot of my a lot of
young black men that think that doing drugs and fitting
in it's cool, you know what I mean, It's not
who like And then I'm glad to be walk away
with my health still, you know, like because it's a
lot of us, you know, when we do these things,
were just thinking we're just doing it. We don't feel
(27:44):
it then, you know what I mean. But when we
get older, you know, those organs started kicking out and
that drinking every night and smoking all the time, and
you know what I mean, Like, if you if you
can make it out with your health, you know what
I mean, don't don't push it until you feel me
until the doctor say, well, you're gonna have to do this,
you know what I mean. So I want to just
get the story out as a part of your sobriety.
(28:06):
Do you are you going back to so many people
that you Yeah, I'm like always like if I see you,
almost definitely gonna make it right. Or if I'm asked
a question, I'm definitely holding holding accountability for my actions.
That goes for past relationships or you know what I mean,
Like you know, somebody asked me a question about um
(28:27):
when me and Fantasias dated, and I had to address
that and telling that, you know, I was drugged up
and high and I wasn't ready for a strong woman
like that in my life, and like you know, and
then I know, I know the beautiful person, you know
what I mean, just I wasn't ready for I wasn't
man enough to be in a position like with a
(28:49):
strong woman like that, you know what I mean. And
I can take accountability for that, like the my Tip relationship,
you know what I mean a lot of things that
he's always drop. I'm called drop and I used to
just be somewhere in a spot just hies I can
be you know what I mean, And I know he
probably wouldn't wanted me to show up to some of
(29:09):
these places, and you know what I'm saying, and like
what throwing out of here? You know what I'm saying,
Joe and nine or Joe and Folk seeding somewhere, you
know what I'm saying that, And I just I don't
know why I used to run. I used to like searching.
I was searching for something. I don't know what it
was because right now I'm looking from looking at it
(29:30):
from right here I was I'm thinking myself, like what
the hell was I looking for? And I think I
was just trying to or he was running from so
I was running for something, you know what I mean.
Like I used to be in the room with big wigs,
you know, and I'll do what I gotta do, wrap
real good and get out of there. You know. I'll
do songs with Jeezy, I'll do songs with for Rell,
you know what I mean. But then once once it's over,
(29:52):
I was like, Okay, I got that done. Now I'm
about to go to the hood. And I don't know
what kept drawing me to that, And I think that
you know it was It's almost like you had impostor syndrome,
Like you just felt like maybe you were more comfortable
in the hood because that was your environment, that's where
you came from. But then you were around super successful
people and you probably as much as you knew you
(30:13):
were talented enough to be in that room, you may
not have felt like confident, like I belong in this room.
So let me go back to what I know that
was perfectly put. So when the last time you talked
to Tip Um, I was on the phone. I was
on a FaceTime CALLO throwed off one and when I
FaceTime him, I was just telling him about the show,
(30:36):
and then he just turned the phone and then Mentip
got on the phone together and he was like, Hey,
I've seen you on um a podcast and he was talking.
He was like, man, it's some good ship if you
know what I'm saying, And I was, and we just
went to reminiscing and talking whatever, and then like we
just got off the phone. But for the most part,
we haven't sat down and at the brother conversation. And
(30:59):
I I really want to do that with without you know, UM,
any anybody. Yeah, because we we we really got like
over twenty years, you know, we're knowing each other. He's
always been a big like a big brother, like you
know what I mean. I'm older, but he always been
like a big brother, you know what I mean to me,
(31:20):
and gave me guidance and talk to me, you know,
gave me like a lot of respect, you know what
I mean. And and actually you know, turned me onto
my first million bucks, you know what I'm saying. And
now I'm always in debt to him, you know what
I mean. So it's once I once we do collap
and sit back down, I know we can get through.
It's like any any any brother situation, you know what
(31:40):
I mean, any family situation, we can work it out. Okay,
So what new music you got coming up? Uh? I
just dropped Wednesday. It's a song called run Out of Time.
I actually was. It's a trilogy. It's three or three.
The run out of Time is like um us as
young black men, we we we don't do things into
(32:02):
it's too late, you know. Um perfect example, the Mego situation,
you know whatever they was going through now shot of Dead.
You know what I'm saying. I bet they wish that
they worked that out before that happened. And we should
take the initiative to do these things like men. You know,
what I'm saying, like, let's get this out of the way, bro,
because we too, we too, we then came up in
(32:24):
the same industry together. Let's work this out and you know,
and then that's that goes for like parents, if you
if you're into it with your parents or or sibling
or you know what I mean, just just men these things, man,
before you run out of time, you know what I mean,
put these guns down, and you know what I mean.
So I put the video out. I actually wrapped about
(32:45):
all of the rappers that we had that that was
that was close to me that I knew that we
had lost, you know, I just crammed them into the
second verse, you know what I mean. And um, it
was very it was very a passionate song from me,
you know what I mean, that me as they told, me,
as they told and put together it came out. Yeah. Yeah,
Tobin and Dietrich hadn't is singing on it. The gospel singer.
(33:07):
He's a great, great singer man. And like when after
I wrapped on it and he song on it and
he sent it back that she made me cry. So
I'm like, damn, yeah, let's take a quick commercial break.

I think you should, um take the time to go
on walks, no phone, um, going walks and communicate with
(37:37):
yourself first, you feel me, and then communicate with God.
Put him first. And I pretty much believed that everything
goes and be taken care of. You feel what I'm
saying if if it seems really really hard, grab the
whole of your family, man, because family means more than
anything on earth. You feel me. If you don't have family,
