Welcome, Welcome. You had hit me last week sometime and
you were just like, hey, man, I gotta get some
ship off my chest. You know, you're one of the

hot your.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
House, man, I'm a lot better. I'm ten times better.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Because you were in the hospital, work in the hospital
for it.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Different than my diabetes and stuff like that, you know
what I'm saying. But now everything's pretty much under control
and situations. You know, it had me. It had me
took for a while, bro like dealing with going in
And that's why I think I've helped back on a
lot of like music and stuff like that. I kind
of just you know, took a little break but I'm
pretty much one hundred percent of healt back on my feet,
back running.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And yeah, because because i mean, diabetes is serious, man,
Like if you don't, if you don't keep that ship
in the control, I should have fuck you up.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And that's the thing is like everybody's like, oh, you
you know, some people might think, oh, he just be
eating candy or something. That's not necessarily just candy. It's everything,
bro tortillas, fucking you know, you eat eat bread, you
eat rice, and there you just can't eat nothing. You
got what you eat all day. I mean that's the problem.
I don't stop eating all the crazy stuff that I'm
supposed to stop, you know what I mean. And now
(01:26):
I've been doing a little bit better as far as
like getting like meal preps and stuff like that, trying
to trying to stay you know, balanced and focused, because
that's what's gonna keep me, you know, moving and generating
and fucking growing.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Like you know, for sure, I think like you got man,
you got you got something to lose, dog right right.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's like I always tell everybody, you know, I just
keep going and trying to get you know, things accomplished,
and I forget about everything else. But everybody's like, well,
you ain't gonna be able to get that stuff accomplished
if there's no you right, you know so, And diabetes
ain't it ain't no joke, you know it.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Don't discriminate men.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Hell, it's coming for everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Everybody, eedsy healthy man. Stop being all that bullshit.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, diabetes, Like, I don't care you've been in prison.
I'm coming for you.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
What okay, you just dropped the new song, new video
that's got a lot of people talking rap cattle rap,
cattle man. What motivated you to put this out?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So you know, I'm I'm chill, I'm humble, I'm relaxed. Dog,
I'll you know, I do keep my ear to the
street and see what's going on. I've seen a lot
of people, you know, slandering dragging my name through the
mud due to the fact that I pulled up to
go to his video that he shot in La met
the dude. You know, I pulled up uninvited, Like I told,
you know, certain people that I pulled up uninvited. I did,
(02:38):
you know, John will tell you myself that I pulled
up Nobody invited me. I just went on my own
go show face I did, you know, I met the dude.
We exchanged numbers. She was a humble cat, bro, you know,
the Go Tos was definitely a very humble individual. Told me,
you know what, we communicated a little bit there, basically
took it a little further, communicated off, you know, off
that situation, off that video. And you know, everybody's for
(03:02):
some reason, assuming that I signed to Go Tos right
which I'm not signing to Go Toes. Everybody assuming that
I'm just like another uh Northerner now dog that I'm
from up there. Like, nah, we got good communication, we
got respect. You know. It's it's mutual. It's a mutual thing.
That's all it is. You know what I'm saying. At
the end of the day, it's like, I'm not signing
to Go Tos. I'm signing Civic Entertainment. I'm signed to
the Air for music. I'm signed to my neighborhood for life.
(03:25):
You know what I'm saying. That's that's me, you know.
And that's what it was though. Basically people dragging my
name through the mud. Oh he's this, he's that because
he me linked up with this person. They start putting
up you know, and like I said, I'm not signed
to him. We took like some pictures fucking whatever. Anyway,
we did a little business on a song whatnot. And
now everybody's just assuming this and assuming that, and I
(03:47):
was over it. Bro. You know, I could only be
humble for so long and just keep hearing people try
to drag my name through the mud. So I came
in and air them out, you know what I'm saying.
I had to. That's why I named it that rap
cattle air him Mount.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You know, well, I you know, it's not my place
to like get into the politics of whatever for people
who don't. Obviously, if you're watching this and you're not
from California, you know there's prison politics that are in
play between Northern California's southern California that have gone on
for years and years and years and years. Right, no
secret who you represent, it's on your face. But I also, like,
(04:20):
you know, for me, it's like you guys are both
grown ass.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Man with a stretched www right right.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So it's like, I know, go tos to be a
stand up dude, a stand up businessman, one of the
coolest cats you ever meet in your life. And you
know you're you're also the same way man like, And
so I guess for me, it's like what you know,
the cycle of the segregation of where you're from in California,
(04:54):
you know, from outside. Again, it's not my I can't
speak on the actual finality of.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It, and nobody's really supposed to speak on it's just
not something that's that's that we speak on on the internet.
But these dudes are comfortable speaking about things on the
internet because they ain't plugged in. They ain't never been
to no yard. They they start podcasts and use these
things to build their their platform, but they don't even
know what they're getting into. They don't know what they're
(05:22):
talking about. If they want to be real, the program
is the program. The program is not something you're supposed
to talk about, But the program is. We we at
peace with them, dudes. There ain't no beef with them, dudes.
We gang bang on the streets. Our enemies are in
our section, just like their enemies are in their section.
So if there's different neighborhoods up there that that that
(05:43):
represent the same thing we do in that section, yeah,
they're probably gonna beef. And when they're on the streets,
they're gonna keep beefing because that's their enemies. Them dudes
ain't our street enemies, bro Like they they ain't our
enemies out here hours away.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So what you're essentially saying is like, it's it's a
prison thing, right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And if they want to run that that prison agenda,
the agenda dictates that that we ain't got no beef
with them dudes. We're programming with them dues, and it's
all respect to them dudes. So that's how we're gonna
That's how we're gonna carry ourselves out here. We ain't
been We we stay out of ship.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
We just run.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We we do our own thing, but we always respect
where you know what what it is. And without having
to go on the internet and explain ourselves or or
or talk about the ship.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
We we run the program.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That that we were taught, that we were taught and
that we're comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say, man, like that is one
thing because I just had Head up here DJ Head
and we're talking about uh, I feel like Mexican hip
hop or rappers that happen to be Mexican from LA.
This is the best time we've ever seen in terms
of just everyone's got there's a lot of people with movement.
There's yourself, there's you know, Lefty, there's the Coyote Boys,
(07:01):
there's pay So, there's you know, just a lot of
guys and uh. But it also feels at the same
time that it is the most splintered community. And because
look in la on the on the on the on
the on the you know, on the Black side, like
it feels like a lot of artists are moving together
more than they would have maybe ten years ago. But
I feel like on the Latin side, it feels like
(07:22):
it's more segregated and divided. At a certain point in time,
it just feels like everyone's always beefing or you know it.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Is everybody's just always at each other's throats, and it's
like one person can't see the next person doing something
because automatically they assume I'm on to get left out.
It don't work like that, man, you know what I'm saying,
that won't get to the top. Let him pull the
other ones in. Some people, you know, at the end
of the day, it's like, if you're not going to
be willing to help your your people, then you don't
belong in that position.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, And like you know, I feel like too. It's
like again, like I really have no place to speak
on any of the street ship in terms of like
the politics that you guys are involved in, but just
from like a perspective of somebody wh's in the music
industry right, somebody who sees what works in business. It's like, man,
like if LA moved together on the Latin front, like
(08:13):
it'd be crazy and not just LA though, LA and
the Bay, Like you know what I'm saying, Like there's
really talented dudes in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
On factions and factors and you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's like you definitely and everyone's from the same state,
you know what I mean. And it's like if you
take yourself out of the bubble. And I'm not saying
it's easy to do that, because if you're a part
of certain gangs, and it's probably not the easiest. It's
a lot easier for me to sit here and say
that than the people are like you guys living in it.
But it just feels like, you know, I hope that
(08:45):
eventually that a lot of the negative that even just
conquering in LA, like everybody can kind of move together
and put aside stuff that like you said, Like I mean,
there's certain people that you know, might not have even
been to prison who who feel a certain way, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And it's not always about you know, people that haven't
been to the joint, because I've seen some people that
never been in prison. They conduct theirselves damn near the
same as us, you know what I mean. But it's
just the ones that haven't been in prison that act
a certain way. They kind of attract our attention that
it's like, bro, come on, you haven't done or living
And a lot of what it is, you.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Know, a lot of what it is is that a
lot of the real ones ain't out there on the
internet all day. The ones that are on the internet
all day are them types of dudes, the types of
dudes that are their Internet bangers or they want to
make their name off off of street street, you know,
going on in politics on their podcasts, and so they
(09:44):
get to push this narrative because they're comfortable talking about
these things on the internet. So all these little youngsters
are thinking that that these these fake generals are the
ones that are that are really plugged in and what
they're saying is right, when in reality, he's tea them
to go against the grain.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
These these dudes are teaching.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Them to to Oh I feel this way, so I
don't care what what what's going on over there, I'm
going to do this.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
They ain't gonna go to these yards and tell these
dudes I don't want to run with the program. They're
gonna get ran over, bro like that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
That's that's the way it works.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So they're teaching these they've got the attention from all
these youngsters, and they're schooling them wrong. They're they're pointing
them in the wrong direction. And uh, it just came
to a time where somebody had to put it to
a stop. And uh, they kept mentioning my boy's name,
and it was time to put it to a stop.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Who you remind me. The only thing I've seen that
I think you and I talked about was I saw
Boso put up something.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
MA.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I'm cool with Boso, you know. I like Boso's music.
I think he's a solid dude. Like I've interviewed him
and hung out with Boso. I talked to him, you
know a few times a year. But I saw what
he had posted about the go Tos thing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But he didn't see it because I'm blocked on his face.
See it, some people send it to me. Honestly, i'm'na
one hundred percent honest with you. I looked at it
and laughed only because it says if you're signed to
d GG distribution, I'm not signed to GG distribution. So
I mean, as at the end of the day, I
don't know if you're speaking to me, but if you are,
I mean, hey, Like, you know, he called me. You
(11:17):
know what I'm saying, at the end of the day,
bosill call me and try to tell me, Oh, you
know what happened. What took place? I explained to my
pulled up there. You know. I talked to him, boy,
I made him showface, you know. But he went into
an interview somewhere. I don't know what it was on.
I don't know if it was campcom or what was
I aid count yeah something, So he did an interview
or whatnot, and you know, they posted up a certain
clip of certain things he was saying, and it just
(11:39):
went on from there. But I mean, I took it
as disrespect after he blocked me. You know what I'm saying,
I'm like, okay, cool, Oh, I don't need to communicate
with you. Anyways, Like there there wasn't that much communication anyways,
Like if anything, it was what's up. It was mutual,
that's it. So I mean it didn't bother me none.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Or My thing is is like you guys are both like,
you know, leaders in my opinion, and you know, I
mean I would just hope that like we just had,
it's just a conversation.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Different views of everything, you know what I'm saying, and
there's always going to be that. Like then, you know,
I can't you know, I can't change somebody's mind that
you know, has their mind that they're a certain individual,
or that they're these people that you know you might
be to them.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
What it would be the advice you said that certain
people are kind of steering the youth and some of
these younger kids the wrong direction in terms of just
kind of this whole you know shit, what would be
the advice you would give to kids who might be
maybe going down the wrong path or interpreting my advice
the politics the wrong way, or maybe just kind of
(12:41):
looking up looking up to the wrong folks, you know,
whoever that may or may not be.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know, my advice is, don't even get involved in it.
That's the only thing that I could really tell you
in school, that's it, bro get a job, take care
of your family. That's that's really the right way. And
then most of these people ain't gonna sit there and
tell you that because they want you to be you know,
part of their thick thickness in in you know, their
the mind. It's just like to me, I I feel
(13:06):
like people are so brainwashed, you know what I mean.
And it's like you brainwashed so many people to be
you know, negative that It's like, don't sit there and
act like you're a positive person when you got all
these people believing the negativity. You know what I mean, Like,
how you gonna be do do both? You can't do
if you gotta pick and choose, you gonna either be
a you know, a good person y you know what
(13:29):
I mean. There's not no in between, there's not no all.
I'm a way out and try to do good on
Sundays when when it's take the day to go to church,
and then Monday through Friday, i'm'a be a heathing like
you know what I mean. At the end of the day,
you gotta be one side, one sided. You know, you
can't be bouncing around back and forth. I'm not I'm
not gonna give these kids no negative energy message, no,
(13:51):
none of that. I wanna see the kids win and
go to school and and you know, do something with themselves,
cause that was taken from me as a kid. I
I you know, I did it to myself. Of course,
I'm not sitting there blaming anymore, of course, but I
didn't have the people other than like of course, like
our moms and you know what I mean, the ones
that we really didn't listen to, you know, other than that,
we didn't have the people telling us to do right.
(14:14):
You know, we started real young. We were basically brainwashed
the same way these other ones are being brainwashed right
now to be negative and you know, turn against them.
It's like you got to try to stop stop the cycle,
right eventually somehow.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, I mean I look at like, you know a
lot of people were talking about like you know, shots
to Kendrick, and just like the unity that was on
that stage for a moment. It's like you know, on
June teenth, you know what I mean, all the sake
of just being positive for the moment. It's almost like, man,
it'd be tired if there was like a Latin version
of that moment sometime where everybody just comes together and
(14:47):
puts puts everything to side and just like you know,
it's a unified front type shit like it's about La,
it's about Cali.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Too many hitting agendas, too many.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Too many of the dudes that are actually out here rapping,
they the resume don't hold up. They're they're talking about
things that don't there's no backing for it. So eventually
they slip up and and they crash. And if we
already see that, we can't associate with these people even
if they're coming up because I know you about the crash,
(15:17):
I ain't gonna be on that on that boat. When
you think so it's it's it's I think we just
need more more homies that are that are taking it seriously,
more dudes that are that are in the booth perfecting
their pen instead of just riding the wave and putting
out the most trash music that you can listen to,
(15:38):
Like you got to if this is what you want
to do, perfect that pen like, this is hip hop,
bro Like, at the end of the day, this is
hip hop. You gotta you gotta come with something that
people can actually get behind.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And support term exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
People are going to continue making fun of us as
a as a whole because they're not saying, oh, look
at that one artist that they're like, these foods are
that's how they look at it, you know.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And especially when the dude that's that's that's getting the
most attention at whatever specific time, the music just don't
hold up. So of course they're gonna be like all
of them sound like that. Yeah, it's it's we just
need more representation of solid dudes.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Coyote man, is it the right way?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
For sure? We're supposed to get on something real soon too.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The hardest Yeah, and they can wrap their ass off.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Them is on some other ship, you know. And it's
like those are the people that the machine needs to
be behind, you know what I mean, Big money needs
to go behind them. Them type of artists scheme schemes.
A monster west More scheme like he's a monster though,
like those are you know you you hear them thresh
is though, dog thres your thres You're good. He's a
good dude though, Like we got a lot of good
(16:49):
dudes that can rap, solid homies that can rap, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think there's even like, h you know, I think
even some of the guys who I'm assuming the gunplay
for lining in your song is obviously about Left the
gun Play. But I think Lefty I've been in here
when he's just freestyling and he I think if I
think Lefty has the ability to be a really great rapper.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Did you hear that last track you put out the
same day we put out Rap Cattle has half the
views of ours.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I did not, But I'm saying like I've I've been
in here and watched Left the gunplay just wrap off
the top of his head for like ten minutes straight,
and I'm like, damn, bro.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Like these are just lyrics from random songs.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
But I'm saying like he has the ability, like I
think if he really like and listen.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Honestly, I didn't even go hard on Left on that track.
You know what I'm saying. If you really think about it,
you listen to the bar right there. It's a simple bar, right,
you know what I mean. But at the end of
the day, it's like, I'm the face of that leg.
I've been holding that down for a long time. You know,
people trying to get in that spot.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
But let me ask you this man, if you were
to like have a real one on more conversation with
someone like him who obviously has a lot of attention
and it's getting a lot of love right now, and
you could just put your arm around him and give
him some game off camera, what would it be?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I mean, get in that move and keep wrapping, bro
keep doing what you're doing. But you got to you
gotta perfect your craft before you get out there and
jump and try to get in feel people's shoes that
you know, been doing this shit for a long time,
you know what I mean. Like a lot of people
know that. You know. Of course, I'm a lot more seasoned,
you know what I mean. I've been in the studios
for a lot longer, been recording for a lot longer.
(18:16):
You know, some people, you know, get out there and
get catch that little break. I get it, I respect it,
I want to see it, you know. But at the
end of the day, don't assume just because you caught
that break that you're better than this person or better
than that person, or the best rapper in the world,
because it's not like that. You know, I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be real with you. I'm not gonna lie
to you and just sit there like a yes man.
(18:37):
Like half of these people on the comments are oh, dope, dope, dope,
fire firefighter. Be real with the man. You know what
I'm saying, This can be work done. You could sound
better if you did this. You could do better if
you did this. Cool. I'm not knocking the boy. He's like,
you know what I'm saying. At the end of the day,
it's like.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You got some shit I like, I like, I like
a few lefty records. He got a record RJ. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Also got a shout oh Geezy to somehow always this
kind of this is a hummy.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I chopped it up with him a few times, like,
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Do you think it's like a coincidence that O g
Z it's the biggest Mexican rapper to come out of
LA and the last I don't know, maybe ever besides
Cypress Hill. Probably wow. But but also because he's not
necessarily affiliated like that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're talking about California or just out LA.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Because if you think about it, like in terms of plaques,
in terms of success, it's Cypress Hill, and then it's
probably it's probably O GZ in Shoreline, right do you
think do you think do you think that at a
certain point in time, like the street shit can get
in the way of does it put a ceiling on
what you think people can do?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh yeah, big time, big time. It's had a lot
to do with our our rising, with our music because
of where I'm from. You know, a lot of people
in the industry, you know, felt like at the time
because we were having a lot of like, you know,
gangshit going on, which is just what it is. It's
part of the streets, you know, but it was like
the the media made it out to be racial, which
(20:02):
in all reality, you know, now that's all done, said
and done, and you know, we're back to normal. You know,
a lot of people looked at it like, oh, you
guys stopped fucking beefing with them foods, That's that's soft
or whatever. Bro. We beef with them for twenty years, right,
you tell me that's soft. You know what I'm saying.
Learnt for to go at it for three weeks and
(20:22):
they're done. Like now, we went at it for twenty years, bro,
that's what. There's nothing soft about that with dudes.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
That grew up together, and that's that's the thing. Like
before that, it was it was it was together cool.
So a lot of a lot of them they grew
up together and then had a twenty year war and
that was back to normal. Like that's what happens out here, right,
That's that's the way things go sometimes, Pendulum sweetness.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
It's better, bro, Now now you know their kids can
go to the liquor store. Our kids can go to
the liquor store and go get some candies or pickles
or chips or whatever the hell they want to get
from the store without having to worry about being hurt

we brought him to the bag. You know, my homies

And I was like for real, He's like yeah, And
then we recorded that track. When he sent it's called

We're working on getting me and Jay Diggs on the
track too, Diggs digs Man. So this is just a
man to the puzzle coming together now, like freakingly excited
about it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
For you, did you understand, like the did you have
any idea anticipation that you were going to get such
negative blowback for Lincoln with gold Toes.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
See, my whole intention wasn't to link up with go tos.
That's the thing. That's where everybody gets it wrong. I
pulled up, like I said, to just pull up, you know,
show that I'm there. Yeah, I'm from Los Angeles. It
wasn't in my neighborhood. A lot of people like, oh,
you let him come to your hood. No, it was
East LA. That's not even my neighborhood. I pulled up
there just to go show being that I'm from LA,
(27:12):
you know, and we chopped it up, and the dude
it ended up, like I said, he was a humble
person and changed my whole thing, my whole vision of it.
And not like I was saying that I was going
there to go trip. But I did go, you know,
of course, to go show myself. And you know it
did it didn't turn out the way that everything was
was going. He could ask him, bro, I pulled up
(27:34):
by myself, you know, jumped off, said what's up? Dude,
shook my hand. We chopped it up. That was that, bro.
And after that it was like, now he calls me
to ask me how I'm doing, how I'm feeling. After
being out of the hospital. He went to go see
me in the hospital. You know, people, I put up
a post saying, you know, their go tos, you know,
came to see me in the hospital. I even put
(27:55):
on there like for all the people. Some people took
it wrong because they understood all that I'm saying. Dude
came to visit me, and the Southerners didn't come. That's
not what I said. I said for the dudes that
keep bringing up the whole go to situation, he reached
out and came to visit me in the hospital before
any of them foods checked on me. When you you
guys are supposed to be my homies, the ones talking bad,
(28:17):
bringing up this, bringing up that, keep mentioning this, They
didn't say, hey, how you feeling, how you doing? None
of that, dude, did you know? And that salute and
I appreciate that. That's respect, that's love, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So obviously you you got the new song out. Is
there going to be a new project, new mixtape?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah? I mean what you think? How much music do
we have? Bro?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Man, When Baldy's health it was kind of that was
the main focus.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, obviously that was also getting in the way of
just now that the health is right, you're drinking water
and not dr peppery.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I definitely got enough music to do.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I think I think the plan is because you know,
we got our distribution deal with SEC shout out to them,
and now that his health is good, it's just you know,
getting getting the tracks over to them that we want
to do. You know, we've been wanting to put this
double album out for a long time. I don't know
if we're gonna do you know, one part of it
and then drop the other one. But the music is there.
(29:20):
It's just getting it over to distribution and and just
figuring out a date. But we're definitely gonna ride the
wave of you know, of this summer of you know,
got the show coming up in September with Wolf, just
got uh just got put onto a show August eleventh
(29:42):
in Orange County with UH.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
So we got that August eleven. So, so I think
it's uh, I.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Think it's finally time to to get this music out there.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
And you know, you know, it's funny because a lot
of people will be like, oh, you know, he just
basically because you know, whatever the situation that dude came
and shot that video out here and my distract. I'm
not even calling this distract my mentioned track because I
just mentioned people after I dropped Minds, it was pretty
much real close to each other, like maybe a day
(30:18):
or so next after or whatnot. That wasn't the whole purpose. Basically,
Mines was already you know in the mix. There's was
probably already in the mix. It is what it is.
They landed on the same day. But some people are like, oh,
you know, he's just trying to you know, get back
on by fucking putting, like basically doing it for clout
or whatnot, not understanding that I got way of a
whole bunch of other stuff going on with my life. Bro,
(30:40):
I got building their hand perfs, shot out to billing
their hand prafts. When I got two flavors, you know,
Private Reserve, Baldacci Gold, Baldacci Black. That's bro, that's where
my money's at. Like, you know what I'm saying, Honestly,
I don't have to sit here and be making music
the way I had to back then. You know what
I'm saying. At the end of the day, now, it's like,
of course I love doing music, and I do it
(31:01):
just because I love it. That's that's my whole thing.
I'm not doing it because it's like keeping me alive
money wise or you know, it's it's definitely money's slow
when it comes to music. I don't care who you
think you are. Money is not the best. That's not
the best place to.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Be trying to make You gotta have a brand. The
music helps you with your brand. Then you monetize the brand.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
You gotta be fifty, you got you gotta be though,
Like you know, it's like real shit. You know, I
don't care. You know how popping these foods are. Like
I know because I got songs out there that got
millions of views. Majority of my my YouTube videos got
million on them at least, you know, And it's like
it's changed, bro that you get. You know what I'm saying,
it's money to pay it off your phone, wheelor your car,
(31:41):
not your rent. But at the end of the day,
it's not real bread to sit here and say, oh,
I'm stacking like you know what I mean. Nah, you
know you got to have other avenues and outlets of
making money and generating revenue because if you don't, music
ain't gonna take you nowhere.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, so let me ask you this with the rap
cattle song, what is like were you just home and
to just kind of get some shit off your chest.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, that and you know what I'm saying, just.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Kind of defend yourself.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Well, yeah, because at the end of the day, it's like,
you know, I was humble for a lot of months.
A lot of people would say, Hey, this fool saying this,
this fool saying that, and I would just laugh. My
homies will tell you we sit there be smoking blunts.
Come on, man, I forget about that. I ain't worried
about that. They can say whatever they want. But when
they continued and continue and continue down, But then my
homies are like, hey, bro, like, are you ever gonna
address these fools about this shit? And I'm like, I'm
(32:27):
not gonna sit there and argue with you back if
I might clown here and there. When I get on
Instagram sometimes I'll see somebody say a dumb comment and
I'll come and say something back. But Bronna, you're not
gonna knock me off my balance. Like these comments on Instagram.
I could care less, you know what I'm saying, unless
you're pulling up where we're at. Because I feel like
somebody that really doesn't like you or has beef with you,
(32:48):
he's gonna confine you. He's not gonna disrespect you on Instagram.
He's not gonna put up a story saying forget this guy,
forget that guy, and have you blocked so you can't
see it. You know what I mean? All this shit
right here to me, it's like people honestly be seeking
attention seeking. I don't know who's attention. I don't know.
You know, I feel like it's a cry out for help,
(33:09):
you know what I'm saying. When you're sitting there dogging
other people and trying to, you know, put people on
blasts or make people look a certain way, you're crying
out for help because like, you know, they know a
lot of people know that police are watching social media.
Don't sit there and start a beefing.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh, it's happened so much recently too, just people getting
caught up from just like a bro. The young Thug
case is what's crazy is like the lyrics, Like they
asked his guy, you said gang gang in an interview,
what does that mean? And he said, like what.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I'm telling you, they gonna break it down. Bro, I've
been to the face, so I know, like they'll sit
there if you was talking about hey, go buy me
a pack of cigarettes. They're gonna be like, oh, he
was speaking in colden language. He meant go buy him
ten pounds of glass, Like, God, damn, bro, how do
you do? How does that work? But that's just how
they work. That whatever they're gonna want to put you on,
they're gonna put you on out. You know. I was
in there with one of my home is that you know,
they try to pin his mom. She was talking about
(34:03):
manulal Bro Manulo can of Manula, and they try to
say she was talking about drugs and his mom had
nothing to do with nothing. They try to get it.
So it's like stuff like that that where they'll twist
it up on you, you know what I mean. So at
the end of the day, you just gotta fly a
straight kite, you know, get to to the bag the
right way, you know, don't let your mouth, you know,
overload your ass.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
You know, I heard you mentioned the podcast thing on
the on the song. Do you think you know? Because
no matter which way you kind of cut it, like,
it feels like there's a lot of podcasts out there
that I guess monetize what's happening in like the l
A streets.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
So that's that's that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And like that's like like theirs their business model, you know,
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But there's podcasters that sit here and interview individuals and
ask them solid questions and you know, they have a real,
real like calling for this. And then there's the ones
that are like the news. Bro, you guys are reporters, right,
you guys are sitting there. Hey fucking left the gun
play just farted. Hey fucking this guy just did this.
Hey this guy across the street he was jaywalking. Like, Bro,
(35:10):
you don't have to post about everything that's going on
in the world. Bro, you know what I'm saying. And
if you do, go look around. There's a lot more
than la, you know what I mean, There's plenty of
stuff that's going on in this world. Why do you
guys sit there and just and I'm saying not saying
you guys, I'm saying that the guys that are using
their their platform for that type of stuff. It's like,
(35:32):
God forbid, bro, that somebody gets hurt and these food's
posted and get somebody caught up for that.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
And they're they're forgetting that what they're covering not everybody
that's that's in that game is like you, they're not
all soft like you. You gonna start talking about a
real one at a certain point and it's gonna go
bad for you. And I think that's what they're that's
the lesson that they're learning right now, is that they
(35:59):
spoke on the wrong one for too long and he responded,
and now he's the bad guy for for addressing everybody
that had his name in their mouth. And that's just
what's gonna happen when when that's what you base your
business on is street shit, you're gonna run into the
wrong person on the streets. There's always somebody bigger and batter.
There's always somebody gonna be bigger and batter than me.
(36:20):
There's always somebody gonna be bigger better than him.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Once you accept that and you got it on lock,
because you got to know that somebody could kick your ass,
you know what I mean. There's always gonna be somebody
that can be trash. There's always gonna have somebody be,
somebody that has a bigger gun than you. There's al
it's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Also also like that accept that it's important for people
to understand, like a lot of people and I try
to tell this to a lot of people, you know
that come in here. It's like like nobody's untouchable, nobody's
nobody's incapable of being caught slipping. You know.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
The only ones that are untouchable are the ones that
are dead.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Like the kid, like the kid Folio, you know, like
I had him up here twice and I was just
trying to tell him, like, dude, I just saw that
though he just got killed in Tampa. It was but
during our interview, I told him, I said, bro, like
you're inviting a lot of bad energy to you. And
I feel like I'm gona wake up one day and
I'm gonna see academics posts someone killed you. I literally
said that in our interview, you know. And it's like
at the end of the day, it's like, no, I
(37:12):
feel like in hip hop, not just Mexican hip hop
or whatever, I feel like there's this whole young generation
that just moves around like that bulletproof.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I feel like that that's Florida section like for a
few years, like that's what they.
Speaker 2 (37:25):

Speaker 1 (37:43):
I'll be tripping out. I'll click on a video from

I've been doing a little bit better as far as
like getting like meal preps and stuff like that, trying
to trying to stay you know, balanced and focused, because
that's what's gonna keep me, you know, moving and generating
and fucking growing.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Like you know, for sure, I think like you got man,
you got you got something to lose, dog right right.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's like I always tell everybody, you know, I just
keep going and trying to get you know, things accomplished,
and I forget about everything else. But everybody's like, well,
you ain't gonna be able to get that stuff accomplished
if there's no you right, you know so, And diabetes
ain't it ain't no joke, you know it.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Don't discriminate men.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Hell, it's coming for everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Everybody, eedsy healthy man. Stop being all that bullshit.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, diabetes, Like, I don't care you've been in prison.
I'm coming for you.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
What okay, you just dropped the new song, new video
that's got a lot of people talking rap cattle rap,
cattle man. What motivated you to put this out?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So you know, I'm I'm chill, I'm humble, I'm relaxed. Dog,
I'll you know, I do keep my ear to the
street and see what's going on. I've seen a lot
of people, you know, slandering dragging my name through the
mud due to the fact that I pulled up to
go to his video that he shot in La met
the dude. You know, I pulled up uninvited, Like I told,
you know, certain people that I pulled up uninvited. I did,
(02:38):
you know, John will tell you myself that I pulled
up Nobody invited me. I just went on my own
go show face I did, you know, I met the dude.
We exchanged numbers. She was a humble cat, bro, you know,
the Go Tos was definitely a very humble individual. Told me,
you know what, we communicated a little bit there, basically
took it a little further, communicated off, you know, off
that situation, off that video. And you know, everybody's for
(03:02):
some reason, assuming that I signed to Go Tos right
which I'm not signing to Go Toes. Everybody assuming that
I'm just like another uh Northerner now dog that I'm
from up there. Like, nah, we got good communication, we
got respect. You know. It's it's mutual. It's a mutual thing.
That's all it is. You know what I'm saying. At
the end of the day, it's like, I'm not signing
to Go Tos. I'm signing Civic Entertainment. I'm signed to
the Air for music. I'm signed to my neighborhood for life.
(03:25):
You know what I'm saying. That's that's me, you know.
And that's what it was though. Basically people dragging my
name through the mud. Oh he's this, he's that because
he me linked up with this person. They start putting
up you know, and like I said, I'm not signed
to him. We took like some pictures fucking whatever. Anyway,
we did a little business on a song whatnot. And
now everybody's just assuming this and assuming that, and I
(03:47):
was over it. Bro. You know, I could only be
humble for so long and just keep hearing people try
to drag my name through the mud. So I came
in and air them out, you know what I'm saying.
I had to. That's why I named it that rap
cattle air him Mount.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You know, well, I you know, it's not my place
to like get into the politics of whatever for people
who don't. Obviously, if you're watching this and you're not
from California, you know there's prison politics that are in
play between Northern California's southern California that have gone on
for years and years and years and years. Right, no
secret who you represent, it's on your face. But I also, like,
(04:20):
you know, for me, it's like you guys are both
grown ass.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Man with a stretched www right right.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So it's like, I know, go tos to be a
stand up dude, a stand up businessman, one of the
coolest cats you ever meet in your life. And you
know you're you're also the same way man like, And
so I guess for me, it's like what you know,
the cycle of the segregation of where you're from in California,
(04:54):
you know, from outside. Again, it's not my I can't
speak on the actual finality of.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It, and nobody's really supposed to speak on it's just
not something that's that's that we speak on on the internet.
But these dudes are comfortable speaking about things on the
internet because they ain't plugged in. They ain't never been
to no yard. They they start podcasts and use these
things to build their their platform, but they don't even
know what they're getting into. They don't know what they're
(05:22):
talking about. If they want to be real, the program
is the program. The program is not something you're supposed
to talk about, But the program is. We we at
peace with them, dudes. There ain't no beef with them, dudes.
We gang bang on the streets. Our enemies are in
our section, just like their enemies are in their section.
So if there's different neighborhoods up there that that that
(05:43):
represent the same thing we do in that section, yeah,
they're probably gonna beef. And when they're on the streets,
they're gonna keep beefing because that's their enemies. Them dudes
ain't our street enemies, bro Like they they ain't our
enemies out here hours away.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So what you're essentially saying is like, it's it's a
prison thing, right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And if they want to run that that prison agenda,
the agenda dictates that that we ain't got no beef
with them dudes. We're programming with them dues, and it's
all respect to them dudes. So that's how we're gonna
That's how we're gonna carry ourselves out here. We ain't
been We we stay out of ship.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
We just run.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We we do our own thing, but we always respect
where you know what what it is. And without having
to go on the internet and explain ourselves or or
or talk about the ship.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
We we run the program.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That that we were taught, that we were taught and
that we're comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say, man, like that is one
thing because I just had Head up here DJ Head
and we're talking about uh, I feel like Mexican hip
hop or rappers that happen to be Mexican from LA.
This is the best time we've ever seen in terms
of just everyone's got there's a lot of people with movement.
There's yourself, there's you know, Lefty, there's the Coyote Boys,
(07:01):
there's pay So, there's you know, just a lot of
guys and uh. But it also feels at the same
time that it is the most splintered community. And because
look in la on the on the on the on
the on the you know, on the Black side, like
it feels like a lot of artists are moving together
more than they would have maybe ten years ago. But
I feel like on the Latin side, it feels like
(07:22):
it's more segregated and divided. At a certain point in time,
it just feels like everyone's always beefing or you know it.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Is everybody's just always at each other's throats, and it's
like one person can't see the next person doing something
because automatically they assume I'm on to get left out.
It don't work like that, man, you know what I'm saying,
that won't get to the top. Let him pull the
other ones in. Some people, you know, at the end
of the day, it's like, if you're not going to
be willing to help your your people, then you don't
belong in that position.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, And like you know, I feel like too. It's
like again, like I really have no place to speak
on any of the street ship in terms of like
the politics that you guys are involved in, but just
from like a perspective of somebody wh's in the music
industry right, somebody who sees what works in business. It's like, man,
like if LA moved together on the Latin front, like
(08:13):
it'd be crazy and not just LA though, LA and
the Bay, Like you know what I'm saying, Like there's
really talented dudes in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
On factions and factors and you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's like you definitely and everyone's from the same state,
you know what I mean. And it's like if you
take yourself out of the bubble. And I'm not saying
it's easy to do that, because if you're a part
of certain gangs, and it's probably not the easiest. It's
a lot easier for me to sit here and say
that than the people are like you guys living in it.
But it just feels like, you know, I hope that
(08:45):
eventually that a lot of the negative that even just
conquering in LA, like everybody can kind of move together
and put aside stuff that like you said, Like I mean,
there's certain people that you know, might not have even
been to prison who who feel a certain way, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And it's not always about you know, people that haven't
been to the joint, because I've seen some people that
never been in prison. They conduct theirselves damn near the
same as us, you know what I mean. But it's
just the ones that haven't been in prison that act
a certain way. They kind of attract our attention that
it's like, bro, come on, you haven't done or living
And a lot of what it is, you.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Know, a lot of what it is is that a
lot of the real ones ain't out there on the
internet all day. The ones that are on the internet
all day are them types of dudes, the types of
dudes that are their Internet bangers or they want to
make their name off off of street street, you know,
going on in politics on their podcasts, and so they
(09:44):
get to push this narrative because they're comfortable talking about
these things on the internet. So all these little youngsters
are thinking that that these these fake generals are the
ones that are that are really plugged in and what
they're saying is right, when in reality, he's tea them
to go against the grain.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
These these dudes are teaching.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Them to to Oh I feel this way, so I
don't care what what what's going on over there, I'm
going to do this.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
They ain't gonna go to these yards and tell these
dudes I don't want to run with the program. They're
gonna get ran over, bro like that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
That's that's the way it works.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So they're teaching these they've got the attention from all
these youngsters, and they're schooling them wrong. They're they're pointing
them in the wrong direction. And uh, it just came
to a time where somebody had to put it to
a stop. And uh, they kept mentioning my boy's name,
and it was time to put it to a stop.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Who you remind me. The only thing I've seen that
I think you and I talked about was I saw
Boso put up something.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
MA.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I'm cool with Boso, you know. I like Boso's music.
I think he's a solid dude. Like I've interviewed him
and hung out with Boso. I talked to him, you
know a few times a year. But I saw what
he had posted about the go Tos thing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But he didn't see it because I'm blocked on his face.
See it, some people send it to me. Honestly, i'm'na
one hundred percent honest with you. I looked at it
and laughed only because it says if you're signed to
d GG distribution, I'm not signed to GG distribution. So
I mean, as at the end of the day, I
don't know if you're speaking to me, but if you are,
I mean, hey, Like, you know, he called me. You
(11:17):
know what I'm saying, at the end of the day,
bosill call me and try to tell me, Oh, you
know what happened. What took place? I explained to my
pulled up there. You know. I talked to him, boy,
I made him showface, you know. But he went into
an interview somewhere. I don't know what it was on.
I don't know if it was campcom or what was
I aid count yeah something, So he did an interview
or whatnot, and you know, they posted up a certain
clip of certain things he was saying, and it just
(11:39):
went on from there. But I mean, I took it
as disrespect after he blocked me. You know what I'm saying,
I'm like, okay, cool, Oh, I don't need to communicate
with you. Anyways, Like there there wasn't that much communication anyways,
Like if anything, it was what's up. It was mutual,
that's it. So I mean it didn't bother me none.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Or My thing is is like you guys are both like,
you know, leaders in my opinion, and you know, I
mean I would just hope that like we just had,
it's just a conversation.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Different views of everything, you know what I'm saying, and
there's always going to be that. Like then, you know,
I can't you know, I can't change somebody's mind that
you know, has their mind that they're a certain individual,
or that they're these people that you know you might
be to them.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
What it would be the advice you said that certain
people are kind of steering the youth and some of
these younger kids the wrong direction in terms of just
kind of this whole you know shit, what would be
the advice you would give to kids who might be
maybe going down the wrong path or interpreting my advice
the politics the wrong way, or maybe just kind of
(12:41):
looking up looking up to the wrong folks, you know,
whoever that may or may not be.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know, my advice is, don't even get involved in it.
That's the only thing that I could really tell you
in school, that's it, bro get a job, take care
of your family. That's that's really the right way. And
then most of these people ain't gonna sit there and
tell you that because they want you to be you know,
part of their thick thickness in in you know, their
the mind. It's just like to me, I I feel
(13:06):
like people are so brainwashed, you know what I mean.
And it's like you brainwashed so many people to be
you know, negative that It's like, don't sit there and
act like you're a positive person when you got all
these people believing the negativity. You know what I mean, Like,
how you gonna be do do both? You can't do
if you gotta pick and choose, you gonna either be
a you know, a good person y you know what
(13:29):
I mean. There's not no in between, there's not no all.
I'm a way out and try to do good on
Sundays when when it's take the day to go to church,
and then Monday through Friday, i'm'a be a heathing like
you know what I mean. At the end of the day,
you gotta be one side, one sided. You know, you
can't be bouncing around back and forth. I'm not I'm
not gonna give these kids no negative energy message, no,
(13:51):
none of that. I wanna see the kids win and
go to school and and you know, do something with themselves,
cause that was taken from me as a kid. I
I you know, I did it to myself. Of course,
I'm not sitting there blaming anymore, of course, but I
didn't have the people other than like of course, like
our moms and you know what I mean, the ones
that we really didn't listen to, you know, other than that,
we didn't have the people telling us to do right.
(14:14):
You know, we started real young. We were basically brainwashed
the same way these other ones are being brainwashed right
now to be negative and you know, turn against them.
It's like you got to try to stop stop the cycle,
right eventually somehow.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, I mean I look at like, you know a
lot of people were talking about like you know, shots
to Kendrick, and just like the unity that was on
that stage for a moment. It's like you know, on
June teenth, you know what I mean, all the sake
of just being positive for the moment. It's almost like, man,
it'd be tired if there was like a Latin version
of that moment sometime where everybody just comes together and
(14:47):
puts puts everything to side and just like you know,
it's a unified front type shit like it's about La,
it's about Cali.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Too many hitting agendas, too many.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Too many of the dudes that are actually out here rapping,
they the resume don't hold up. They're they're talking about
things that don't there's no backing for it. So eventually
they slip up and and they crash. And if we
already see that, we can't associate with these people even
if they're coming up because I know you about the crash,
(15:17):
I ain't gonna be on that on that boat. When
you think so it's it's it's I think we just
need more more homies that are that are taking it seriously,
more dudes that are that are in the booth perfecting
their pen instead of just riding the wave and putting
out the most trash music that you can listen to,
(15:38):
Like you got to if this is what you want
to do, perfect that pen like, this is hip hop,
bro Like, at the end of the day, this is
hip hop. You gotta you gotta come with something that
people can actually get behind.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And support term exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
People are going to continue making fun of us as
a as a whole because they're not saying, oh, look
at that one artist that they're like, these foods are
that's how they look at it, you know.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And especially when the dude that's that's that's getting the
most attention at whatever specific time, the music just don't
hold up. So of course they're gonna be like all
of them sound like that. Yeah, it's it's we just
need more representation of solid dudes.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Coyote man, is it the right way?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
For sure? We're supposed to get on something real soon too.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The hardest Yeah, and they can wrap their ass off.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Them is on some other ship, you know. And it's
like those are the people that the machine needs to
be behind, you know what I mean, Big money needs
to go behind them. Them type of artists scheme schemes.
A monster west More scheme like he's a monster though,
like those are you know you you hear them thresh
is though, dog thres your thres You're good. He's a
good dude though, Like we got a lot of good
(16:49):
dudes that can rap, solid homies that can rap, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think there's even like, h you know, I think
even some of the guys who I'm assuming the gunplay
for lining in your song is obviously about Left the
gun Play. But I think Lefty I've been in here
when he's just freestyling and he I think if I
think Lefty has the ability to be a really great rapper.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Did you hear that last track you put out the
same day we put out Rap Cattle has half the
views of ours.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I did not, But I'm saying like I've I've been
in here and watched Left the gunplay just wrap off
the top of his head for like ten minutes straight,
and I'm like, damn, bro.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Like these are just lyrics from random songs.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
But I'm saying like he has the ability, like I
think if he really like and listen.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Honestly, I didn't even go hard on Left on that track.
You know what I'm saying. If you really think about it,
you listen to the bar right there. It's a simple bar, right,
you know what I mean. But at the end of
the day, it's like, I'm the face of that leg.
I've been holding that down for a long time. You know,
people trying to get in that spot.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
But let me ask you this man, if you were
to like have a real one on more conversation with
someone like him who obviously has a lot of attention
and it's getting a lot of love right now, and
you could just put your arm around him and give
him some game off camera, what would it be?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I mean, get in that move and keep wrapping, bro
keep doing what you're doing. But you got to you
gotta perfect your craft before you get out there and
jump and try to get in feel people's shoes that
you know, been doing this shit for a long time,
you know what I mean. Like a lot of people
know that. You know. Of course, I'm a lot more seasoned,
you know what I mean. I've been in the studios
for a lot longer, been recording for a lot longer.
(18:16):
You know, some people, you know, get out there and
get catch that little break. I get it, I respect it,
I want to see it, you know. But at the
end of the day, don't assume just because you caught
that break that you're better than this person or better
than that person, or the best rapper in the world,
because it's not like that. You know, I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be real with you. I'm not gonna lie
to you and just sit there like a yes man.
(18:37):
Like half of these people on the comments are oh, dope, dope, dope,
fire firefighter. Be real with the man. You know what
I'm saying, This can be work done. You could sound
better if you did this. You could do better if
you did this. Cool. I'm not knocking the boy. He's like,
you know what I'm saying. At the end of the day,
it's like.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You got some shit I like, I like, I like
a few lefty records. He got a record RJ. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Also got a shout oh Geezy to somehow always this
kind of this is a hummy.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I chopped it up with him a few times, like,
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Do you think it's like a coincidence that O g
Z it's the biggest Mexican rapper to come out of
LA and the last I don't know, maybe ever besides
Cypress Hill. Probably wow. But but also because he's not
necessarily affiliated like that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're talking about California or just out LA.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Because if you think about it, like in terms of plaques,
in terms of success, it's Cypress Hill, and then it's
probably it's probably O GZ in Shoreline, right do you
think do you think do you think that at a
certain point in time, like the street shit can get
in the way of does it put a ceiling on
what you think people can do?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh yeah, big time, big time. It's had a lot
to do with our our rising, with our music because
of where I'm from. You know, a lot of people
in the industry, you know, felt like at the time
because we were having a lot of like, you know,
gangshit going on, which is just what it is. It's
part of the streets, you know, but it was like
the the media made it out to be racial, which
(20:02):
in all reality, you know, now that's all done, said
and done, and you know, we're back to normal. You know,
a lot of people looked at it like, oh, you
guys stopped fucking beefing with them foods, That's that's soft
or whatever. Bro. We beef with them for twenty years, right,
you tell me that's soft. You know what I'm saying.
Learnt for to go at it for three weeks and
(20:22):
they're done. Like now, we went at it for twenty years, bro,
that's what. There's nothing soft about that with dudes.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
That grew up together, and that's that's the thing. Like
before that, it was it was it was together cool.
So a lot of a lot of them they grew
up together and then had a twenty year war and
that was back to normal. Like that's what happens out here, right,
That's that's the way things go sometimes, Pendulum sweetness.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
It's better, bro, Now now you know their kids can
go to the liquor store. Our kids can go to
the liquor store and go get some candies or pickles
or chips or whatever the hell they want to get
from the store without having to worry about being hurt
in the process. Right, you know what I'm saying. At
least by then people like and our people like. It's
just it's better.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Do you what do you guys? What did you guys
think when you saw Well, obviously the Kendrick beef with
Drake has been crazy, but just to pop out in
general that show was you're.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Talking about just recently like.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Last week ago Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I've just seen little clips of it. I really didn't
know what it was. Somebody was saying the music video though, right, No.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No, no, that's the video about the show.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He did a show at the at the Forum, and uh,
everybody was crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Right, those are dope, artist man, you know, he got it.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I think Stell actually did some merch for that show.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah he did. I bought I bought the I bought
the with that picture.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Shut out to st He's definitely a big part of
our of our you know, of our movement and our
success and everything that, you know, what we have done.

things advents and stuff pop up, he pictures us plays
here go you guys, go get it, you know. So

Speaker 1 (22:08):
And Stevin Steven called me up one day and was like, hey,
I got Yellowolf with me right here. I'm shooting for
his Slamerican documentary. And I'm like, no. You know what's
crazy is that when I was in the Fairs, I

They had like some sit called Sucker Free Sunday. So
I used to watch that. I was in Arizona and
for Black Cannon, Black Canyon Canyon, Yeah, I was there,
(22:30):
So I used to watch the Sucker Free Sundays and
I used to see yellow Wolf in the top four
or five, and I'm like, bro, my boy's white, and

man to the puzzle coming together now, like freakingly excited
about it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
For you, did you understand, like the did you have
any idea anticipation that you were going to get such
negative blowback for Lincoln with gold Toes.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
See, my whole intention wasn't to link up with go tos.
That's the thing. That's where everybody gets it wrong. I
pulled up, like I said, to just pull up, you know,
show that I'm there. Yeah, I'm from Los Angeles. It
wasn't in my neighborhood. A lot of people like, oh,
you let him come to your hood. No, it was
East LA. That's not even my neighborhood. I pulled up
there just to go show being that I'm from LA,
(27:12):
you know, and we chopped it up, and the dude
it ended up, like I said, he was a humble
person and changed my whole thing, my whole vision of it.
And not like I was saying that I was going
there to go trip. But I did go, you know,
of course, to go show myself. And you know it
did it didn't turn out the way that everything was
was going. He could ask him, bro, I pulled up
(27:34):
by myself, you know, jumped off, said what's up? Dude,
shook my hand. We chopped it up. That was that, bro.
And after that it was like, now he calls me
to ask me how I'm doing, how I'm feeling. After
being out of the hospital. He went to go see
me in the hospital. You know, people, I put up
a post saying, you know, their go tos, you know,
came to see me in the hospital. I even put
(27:55):
on there like for all the people. Some people took
it wrong because they understood all that I'm saying. Dude
came to visit me, and the Southerners didn't come. That's
not what I said. I said for the dudes that
keep bringing up the whole go to situation, he reached
out and came to visit me in the hospital before
any of them foods checked on me. When you you
guys are supposed to be my homies, the ones talking bad,
(28:17):
bringing up this, bringing up that, keep mentioning this, They
didn't say, hey, how you feeling, how you doing? None
of that, dude, did you know? And that salute and
I appreciate that. That's respect, that's love, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So obviously you you got the new song out. Is
there going to be a new project, new mixtape?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah? I mean what you think? How much music do
we have? Bro?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Man, When Baldy's health it was kind of that was
the main focus.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, obviously that was also getting in the way of
just now that the health is right, you're drinking water
and not dr peppery.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I definitely got enough music to do.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I think I think the plan is because you know,
we got our distribution deal with SEC shout out to them,
and now that his health is good, it's just you know,
getting getting the tracks over to them that we want
to do. You know, we've been wanting to put this
double album out for a long time. I don't know
if we're gonna do you know, one part of it
and then drop the other one. But the music is there.
(29:20):
It's just getting it over to distribution and and just
figuring out a date. But we're definitely gonna ride the
wave of you know, of this summer of you know,
got the show coming up in September with Wolf, just
got uh just got put onto a show August eleventh
(29:42):
in Orange County with UH.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
So we got that August eleven. So, so I think
it's uh, I.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Think it's finally time to to get this music out there.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
And you know, you know, it's funny because a lot
of people will be like, oh, you know, he just
basically because you know, whatever the situation that dude came
and shot that video out here and my distract. I'm
not even calling this distract my mentioned track because I
just mentioned people after I dropped Minds, it was pretty
much real close to each other, like maybe a day
(30:18):
or so next after or whatnot. That wasn't the whole purpose. Basically,
Mines was already you know in the mix. There's was
probably already in the mix. It is what it is.
They landed on the same day. But some people are like, oh,
you know, he's just trying to you know, get back
on by fucking putting, like basically doing it for clout
or whatnot, not understanding that I got way of a
whole bunch of other stuff going on with my life. Bro,
(30:40):
I got building their hand perfs, shot out to billing
their hand prafts. When I got two flavors, you know,
Private Reserve, Baldacci Gold, Baldacci Black. That's bro, that's where
my money's at. Like, you know what I'm saying, Honestly,
I don't have to sit here and be making music
the way I had to back then. You know what
I'm saying. At the end of the day, now, it's like,
of course I love doing music, and I do it
(31:01):
just because I love it. That's that's my whole thing.
I'm not doing it because it's like keeping me alive
money wise or you know, it's it's definitely money's slow
when it comes to music. I don't care who you
think you are. Money is not the best. That's not
the best place to.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Be trying to make You gotta have a brand. The
music helps you with your brand. Then you monetize the brand.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
You gotta be fifty, you got you gotta be though,
Like you know, it's like real shit. You know, I
don't care. You know how popping these foods are. Like
I know because I got songs out there that got
millions of views. Majority of my my YouTube videos got
million on them at least, you know, And it's like
it's changed, bro that you get. You know what I'm saying,
it's money to pay it off your phone, wheelor your car,
(31:41):
not your rent. But at the end of the day,
it's not real bread to sit here and say, oh,
I'm stacking like you know what I mean. Nah, you
know you got to have other avenues and outlets of
making money and generating revenue because if you don't, music
ain't gonna take you nowhere.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, so let me ask you this with the rap
cattle song, what is like were you just home and
to just kind of get some shit off your chest.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, that and you know what I'm saying, just.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Kind of defend yourself.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Well, yeah, because at the end of the day, it's like,
you know, I was humble for a lot of months.
A lot of people would say, Hey, this fool saying this,
this fool saying that, and I would just laugh. My
homies will tell you we sit there be smoking blunts.
Come on, man, I forget about that. I ain't worried
about that. They can say whatever they want. But when
they continued and continue and continue down, But then my
homies are like, hey, bro, like, are you ever gonna
address these fools about this shit? And I'm like, I'm
(32:27):
not gonna sit there and argue with you back if
I might clown here and there. When I get on
Instagram sometimes I'll see somebody say a dumb comment and
I'll come and say something back. But Bronna, you're not
gonna knock me off my balance. Like these comments on Instagram.
I could care less, you know what I'm saying, unless
you're pulling up where we're at. Because I feel like
somebody that really doesn't like you or has beef with you,
(32:48):
he's gonna confine you. He's not gonna disrespect you on Instagram.
He's not gonna put up a story saying forget this guy,
forget that guy, and have you blocked so you can't
see it. You know what I mean? All this shit
right here to me, it's like people honestly be seeking
attention seeking. I don't know who's attention. I don't know.
You know, I feel like it's a cry out for help,
(33:09):
you know what I'm saying. When you're sitting there dogging
other people and trying to, you know, put people on
blasts or make people look a certain way, you're crying
out for help because like, you know, they know a
lot of people know that police are watching social media.
Don't sit there and start a beefing.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh, it's happened so much recently too, just people getting
caught up from just like a bro. The young Thug
case is what's crazy is like the lyrics, Like they
asked his guy, you said gang gang in an interview,
what does that mean? And he said, like what.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I'm telling you, they gonna break it down. Bro, I've
been to the face, so I know, like they'll sit
there if you was talking about hey, go buy me
a pack of cigarettes. They're gonna be like, oh, he
was speaking in colden language. He meant go buy him
ten pounds of glass, Like, God, damn, bro, how do
you do? How does that work? But that's just how
they work. That whatever they're gonna want to put you on,
they're gonna put you on out. You know. I was
in there with one of my home is that you know,
they try to pin his mom. She was talking about
(34:03):
manulal Bro Manulo can of Manula, and they try to
say she was talking about drugs and his mom had
nothing to do with nothing. They try to get it.
So it's like stuff like that that where they'll twist
it up on you, you know what I mean. So at
the end of the day, you just gotta fly a
straight kite, you know, get to to the bag the
right way, you know, don't let your mouth, you know,
overload your ass.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
You know, I heard you mentioned the podcast thing on
the on the song. Do you think you know? Because
no matter which way you kind of cut it, like,
it feels like there's a lot of podcasts out there
that I guess monetize what's happening in like the l
A streets.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
So that's that's that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And like that's like like theirs their business model, you know,
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But there's podcasters that sit here and interview individuals and
ask them solid questions and you know, they have a real,
real like calling for this. And then there's the ones
that are like the news. Bro, you guys are reporters, right,
you guys are sitting there. Hey fucking left the gun
play just farted. Hey fucking this guy just did this.
Hey this guy across the street he was jaywalking. Like, Bro,
(35:10):
you don't have to post about everything that's going on
in the world. Bro, you know what I'm saying. And
if you do, go look around. There's a lot more
than la, you know what I mean, There's plenty of
stuff that's going on in this world. Why do you
guys sit there and just and I'm saying not saying
you guys, I'm saying that the guys that are using
their their platform for that type of stuff. It's like,
(35:32):
God forbid, bro, that somebody gets hurt and these food's
posted and get somebody caught up for that.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
And they're they're forgetting that what they're covering not everybody
that's that's in that game is like you, they're not
all soft like you. You gonna start talking about a
real one at a certain point and it's gonna go
bad for you. And I think that's what they're that's
the lesson that they're learning right now, is that they
(35:59):
spoke on the wrong one for too long and he responded,
and now he's the bad guy for for addressing everybody
that had his name in their mouth. And that's just
what's gonna happen when when that's what you base your
business on is street shit, you're gonna run into the
wrong person on the streets. There's always somebody bigger and batter.
There's always somebody gonna be bigger and batter than me.
(36:20):
There's always somebody gonna be bigger better than him.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Once you accept that and you got it on lock,
because you got to know that somebody could kick your ass,
you know what I mean. There's always gonna be somebody
that can be trash. There's always gonna have somebody be,
somebody that has a bigger gun than you. There's al
it's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Also also like that accept that it's important for people
to understand, like a lot of people and I try
to tell this to a lot of people, you know
that come in here. It's like like nobody's untouchable, nobody's
nobody's incapable of being caught slipping. You know.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
The only ones that are untouchable are the ones that
are dead.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Like the kid, like the kid Folio, you know, like
I had him up here twice and I was just
trying to tell him, like, dude, I just saw that
though he just got killed in Tampa. It was but
during our interview, I told him, I said, bro, like
you're inviting a lot of bad energy to you. And
I feel like I'm gona wake up one day and
I'm gonna see academics posts someone killed you. I literally
said that in our interview, you know. And it's like
at the end of the day, it's like, no, I
(37:12):
feel like in hip hop, not just Mexican hip hop
or whatever, I feel like there's this whole young generation
that just moves around like that bulletproof.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:21):

few years, like that's what they.

no limits.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I'll be tripping out. I'll click on a video from
like dudes from Chicago and it's like seventeen people jumping
up and the guns. I'm like, nah, damn, these crazy

Speaker 4 (38:37):

Speaker 2 (38:40):
However, agree to disagree and keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Bro. At the end of the day, I don't hate nobody.
I don't wake up with no hatred in my heart
at all. You know what I'm saying. But if you're
coming for me, I got no other choice but to
come for you yourself. Of course, you know what I'm saying.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
