(07:23):
It was different as hell from whereI came from. For show in which
ways, like when you when youcome from other places that you hear about
California, they make all of Californiaseem like la right, gotcha? But
when you get here, you knowit's not nothing like that, right,
You can see it like, nah, this ain't. Then you came out

bust some moves. Yeah, I'mI'm a teenager, so I'm getting older,
(08:28):
I'm doing ship, I'm buying myfirst cards and all out here.
You feel me? So this iswhere I was at. What's the what
you missed about Chicago? Besides femalesass? Females in Chicago. Oh my
god, it's like every girl inChicago got ass. Income Sorry, it's
(08:50):
uh every I sort of god isseeing like every girl got ass in Chicago.
Me know, it's all different shapesand sizes. The skinny girl have
ass. He was like, damnthe thick girl, you be like how
you get thinking than that? Yougot that glass? I'm sorry, it's
all a delusions. Ain't no lotto. Uh. When I just went back
(09:11):
to Chicago, we did to showme my old lady. I've seen that
we was walking going to Target andwe've seen this cheek with it. But
it was so crazy that Chicago.No, but for real, Chicago is
an underrated place for females with anice booty tree. Everybody say Atlanta,
some people mightn't even say Miami,but Chicago and the Midwest is underrated.
(09:33):
Man, my bad. I hateto cut you walk. Yeah, but
I'm doing your show in Chicago withold lady, with old girl with your
wifey. Yeah. Yeah, shepointed it out. She was like,
look at that. What right?It was crazy. She she should go
get her money back that young lady. Man, what Oh it was fake?
(09:54):
But yeah, I thought you're talkingabout I'm talking about the real booty.
I ain't talking about the fake bro. I mean, you know,
they spend a few extra thousand dollars, it'll look real, bro Like,
So do you like that? Like? Do you like it? Let me
know, you tell me, giveme honesty to keep it funky. I
mean, if it's done right,like you know what I mean, If
(10:16):
you're gonna do it and you're gettingit done right and everything is proportioned and
you look good with what you gotdone, then kudos to you. You
feel me. But if you're goingto spend twenty five hundred in Tijuana,
stop playing watch your back. Yeahthat? Oh my god? What what?
(10:39):
Yeah? Yeah. Nah. Butas far as what I miss about
Chicago, it's like just the shoppingin the food. Yeah, shopping in
the food for sure. Man.What's the spot my guy from LA since
her show put me on to Ithink it's in the North side of Chicago.
It's a food spot. But itwas pretty good. I ain't gonna
(11:00):
lie. It was so fulled andit was like one of those spots where
you just go and you just pickout the food and it's like like a
plate, like a three out onplate type thing. I forgot what it
was called, but that mother thatthing was hella good. Let me know,
Chicago do got some good ass food, man? Yeah, yeah,
definitely. You gotta go get thehood food too, though, like you
gotta go eat a hole in thewalls and no, no, that's what
(11:22):
it was. We was at awhole lot. I want to say it's
started with it. I think itstarted with an R. Was it Rouse
or something? It was some shitlike that. You know, ain't know
telling. There's so many spots outthere. It's like Frisco. If you
can explain Chicago to anybody, itwould be like if you put Oakland and
Frisco together. That's Chicago. That'sChicago, just minus the heels, right,
(11:46):
But that would I feel like thatwould be it, you know what
I mean. Yeah, when Iwas there, you know what I mean
as a kid, it was everyyou know, it used to be everybody
had their own sections, but nowyou know, it's more gentrified, diverse
and all of that. But that'sif I could explain it to anybody,
it'd be that put put the townand Frisco together, and that's what you
(12:09):
got. And you got that.So like one of the questions I had,
you had you had recently had mehelp you just promote a back a
backpack giveaway. Word yep, Idid the backpack give away and tell us
about that, tell them where itwas sad. Yeah, all the benefit
who had benefited and all that goodship man. Okay. So uh,
(12:31):
I got with my boy Stewie broand I was telling him I had an
idea. I wanted to do something. You know, I used to stand
Valil, so it just made senseto to do something like that in Valail.
So we got with uh the spotcalled Grills going Wild over there on
Springs Road. Huh. And uhthey facilitated me coming out there. Uh,
to giveaway backpacks. That's what up. So I came up with like
(12:54):
almost one hundred backpacks to homie doctorDojiah with a Chernobyl backyard barbie. You.
Not only did they come and provide, you know, free food for
the kids, but they also donatedbackpacks as well. True sself shout out
of j Elder than them, Samand all of them over there. They
facilitated five pairs of shoes, youfeel me? That's what's up? Artist.
(13:18):
I know my cousin Woody, shecame through, donated some stuff,
some of her merts and bags.She also donated a pair of shoes.
Yeah, uh, you came through, hyped them up, you feel me?
Had on rocking. A few peoplecan stop through. But it was
for the kids and it was solelyjust to you know, do something to
give back to the kids, becauseI know, you know, it ain't
(13:41):
everything. Gain't everything for everybody rightup? You know what I mean.
So if I can help in thattype of way, I'm definitely withdoing that.
You feel what is uh? Letme ask you a question. You
haven't heard of the term real nigga? What does that mean to you?
I mean, it depends on Idon't know because because I'm a grown person.
(14:07):
Yeah, I mean about it.Let me know. So a real
nigga, I don't know, Areal nigga to me is not what the
average person would probably call a realnigga. He's talking about the average person
as an average street person, rightright, right, because I think a
real nigga to me is being areal man, taking care of your kids,
taking care of your family. Youknow, you knowing when to say
(14:28):
when, because you know, thisstreet shit over with, bro right,
It's been over with. It's superover with now because everything is so saturated
with you know, the opposite ofwhat we was raised on, right,
real shit. So you know itwas just it's not solid right now.
It's not the best thing you coulddo, is you know, find something
(14:50):
you good at and try to getpaid off of it, you know what
I mean, and capitalize off thereand start you some businesses. Do something
that's that you can hand down tosomebody else, you know what I mean
of it going not all that othergoofy shit, you know what I mean.
So that's a real nigga to me, not not a nigga who got
you know, the coloring and allthe shit around his neck and he flying
(15:11):
all of that like that's the nigga. Anybody could do that. We see
a bunch of phony niggas would flyshit on you know what I mean.
But if you're gonna be a realperson, a real nigga, then my
definition of real nigga is what Isaid. For surely I like that answer.
Definitely we would jet Black James rightnow. It's the washing Back Podcast.
You feel more, Mike and thisbad boy? What you say?
(15:33):
Hey, you hear you off top? So let me know three things you
like more about Cali than Chicago?The weed, the weather, and the
women. I want to keep itsimple straight up. Nah, I feel
(15:56):
it? Man? What else isthere? What you feel me with that?
What's that song? My Little WayPussy money Weed? Yeah, basically
that's all you said. You justsay the money part, Yeah, I
mean, I mean, little shit. It's expensive out here, huh.
I mean, but yeah, it'sexpensive everywhere. Though it's expensive in Chicago.
It's damn their dollar for a dollarout there. The only the only
(16:17):
suck part about that is they don'thave the jobs to keep up with the
cost of living like out here.Okay, I mean, so it's over
the starving story. Yeah, that'swhat do you think, that's why the
violence when you left. Oh solet me just tell you when I first.
So I've been in Chicago as well. I think I went on first
to Chicago like six years old thatI can remember, six seven years old.
(16:41):
So the way you wear your hat, they was like, you either
gotta wear it like that or don'twear no hat because if you wear any
type of way, any type ofeven backwards, somebody gonna get on your
line. And that was like arude a wakening to me. The game
culture in uh Chicago is way moreentrenched out there than it is. It's
(17:03):
definitely out here. And I thinkLA got it from Chicago, right,
I think that Chicago gang culture andl A gang culture is a little different.
Yeah, you know, basically onhow it started. Everything started on
the same principles, you know whatI mean, protecting the neighborhood, protecting
(17:26):
our own. But as far ashow they conducted in the laying of the
rules and the structure of it isdifferent, you know what I mean.
It's got you in LA, andI don't want you to speak on it
because you may not know the culture. You could speak more so about the
Chicago culture. I mean I gotfriends on you know, your family and
both they got the ship, thevice lords and the it's a whole whole
(17:51):
And I heard every other block issomething and if you do it on this
block, you may not be ableto do it on that block. Shit,
it's crazy. It's Chicago, Yeah, it was. It was.
We stayed in one ged neighborhood,yeah, and to get to another ged
neighborhood, we had to go througha couple other neighborhoods. On the bus,
damn. You know, sometimes it'llbe crucial at the bus stops they
(18:14):
get ugly. Yeah, they getthe throwing bottles at the bus, shooting
at the bus, get on thebus, damn. You know what I
mean. So it used to bea little it used to be a little
vicious. It used to be ugly. Huh. So, man tell the

ways, like when you when youcome from other places that you hear about
California, they make all of Californiaseem like la right, gotcha? But
when you get here, you knowit's not nothing like that, right,

(09:11):
to Chicago, we did to showme my old lady. I've seen that
we was walking going to Target andwe've seen this cheek with it. But
it was so crazy that Chicago.No, but for real, Chicago is
an underrated place for females with anice booty tree. Everybody say Atlanta,
some people mightn't even say Miami,but Chicago and the Midwest is underrated.
(09:33):
Man, my bad. I hateto cut you walk. Yeah, but
I'm doing your show in Chicago withold lady, with old girl with your
wifey. Yeah. Yeah, shepointed it out. She was like,
look at that. What right?It was crazy. She she should go
get her money back that young lady. Man, what Oh it was fake?
(09:54):
But yeah, I thought you're talkingabout I'm talking about the real booty.
I ain't talking about the fake bro. I mean, you know,
they spend a few extra thousand dollars, it'll look real, bro Like,
So do you like that? Like? Do you like it? Let me
know, you tell me, giveme honesty to keep it funky. I
mean, if it's done right,like you know what I mean, If
(10:16):
you're gonna do it and you're gettingit done right and everything is proportioned and
you look good with what you gotdone, then kudos to you. You
feel me. But if you're goingto spend twenty five hundred in Tijuana,
stop playing watch your back. Yeahthat? Oh my god? What what?
(10:39):
Yeah? Yeah. Nah. Butas far as what I miss about
Chicago, it's like just the shoppingin the food. Yeah, shopping in
the food for sure. Man.What's the spot my guy from LA since
her show put me on to Ithink it's in the North side of Chicago.
It's a food spot. But itwas pretty good. I ain't gonna
(11:00):
lie. It was so fulled andit was like one of those spots where
you just go and you just pickout the food and it's like like a
plate, like a three out onplate type thing. I forgot what it
was called, but that mother thatthing was hella good. Let me know,
Chicago do got some good ass food, man? Yeah, yeah,
definitely. You gotta go get thehood food too, though, like you
gotta go eat a hole in thewalls and no, no, that's what
(11:22):
it was. We was at awhole lot. I want to say it's
started with it. I think itstarted with an R. Was it Rouse
or something? It was some shitlike that. You know, ain't know
telling. There's so many spots outthere. It's like Frisco. If you
can explain Chicago to anybody, itwould be like if you put Oakland and
Frisco together. That's Chicago. That'sChicago, just minus the heels, right,
(11:46):
But that would I feel like thatwould be it, you know what
I mean. Yeah, when Iwas there, you know what I mean
as a kid, it was everyyou know, it used to be everybody
had their own sections, but nowyou know, it's more gentrified, diverse
and all of that. But that'sif I could explain it to anybody,
it'd be that put put the townand Frisco together, and that's what you
(12:09):
got. And you got that.So like one of the questions I had,
you had you had recently had mehelp you just promote a back a
backpack giveaway. Word yep, Idid the backpack give away and tell us
about that, tell them where itwas sad. Yeah, all the benefit
who had benefited and all that goodship man. Okay. So uh,
(12:31):
I got with my boy Stewie broand I was telling him I had an
idea. I wanted to do something. You know, I used to stand
Valil, so it just made senseto to do something like that in Valail.
So we got with uh the spotcalled Grills going Wild over there on
Springs Road. Huh. And uhthey facilitated me coming out there. Uh,
to giveaway backpacks. That's what up. So I came up with like
(12:54):
almost one hundred backpacks to homie doctorDojiah with a Chernobyl backyard barbie. You.
Not only did they come and provide, you know, free food for
the kids, but they also donatedbackpacks as well. True sself shout out
of j Elder than them, Samand all of them over there. They
facilitated five pairs of shoes, youfeel me? That's what's up? Artist.
(13:18):
I know my cousin Woody, shecame through, donated some stuff,
some of her merts and bags.She also donated a pair of shoes.
Yeah, uh, you came through, hyped them up, you feel me?
Had on rocking. A few peoplecan stop through. But it was
for the kids and it was solelyjust to you know, do something to
give back to the kids, becauseI know, you know, it ain't
(13:41):
everything. Gain't everything for everybody rightup? You know what I mean.
So if I can help in thattype of way, I'm definitely withdoing that.
You feel what is uh? Letme ask you a question. You
haven't heard of the term real nigga? What does that mean to you?
I mean, it depends on Idon't know because because I'm a grown person.
(14:07):
Yeah, I mean about it.Let me know. So a real
nigga, I don't know, Areal nigga to me is not what the
average person would probably call a realnigga. He's talking about the average person
as an average street person, rightright, right, because I think a
real nigga to me is being areal man, taking care of your kids,
taking care of your family. Youknow, you knowing when to say
(14:28):
when, because you know, thisstreet shit over with, bro right,
It's been over with. It's superover with now because everything is so saturated
with you know, the opposite ofwhat we was raised on, right,
real shit. So you know itwas just it's not solid right now.
It's not the best thing you coulddo, is you know, find something
(14:50):
you good at and try to getpaid off of it, you know what
I mean, and capitalize off thereand start you some businesses. Do something
that's that you can hand down tosomebody else, you know what I mean
of it going not all that othergoofy shit, you know what I mean.
So that's a real nigga to me, not not a nigga who got
you know, the coloring and allthe shit around his neck and he flying
(15:11):
all of that like that's the nigga. Anybody could do that. We see
a bunch of phony niggas would flyshit on you know what I mean.
But if you're gonna be a realperson, a real nigga, then my
definition of real nigga is what Isaid. For surely I like that answer.
Definitely we would jet Black James rightnow. It's the washing Back Podcast.
You feel more, Mike and thisbad boy? What you say?
(15:33):
Hey, you hear you off top? So let me know three things you
like more about Cali than Chicago?The weed, the weather, and the
women. I want to keep itsimple straight up. Nah, I feel
(15:56):
it? Man? What else isthere? What you feel me with that?
What's that song? My Little WayPussy money Weed? Yeah, basically
that's all you said. You justsay the money part, Yeah, I
mean, I mean, little shit. It's expensive out here, huh.
I mean, but yeah, it'sexpensive everywhere. Though it's expensive in Chicago.
It's damn their dollar for a dollarout there. The only the only
(16:17):
suck part about that is they don'thave the jobs to keep up with the
cost of living like out here.Okay, I mean, so it's over
the starving story. Yeah, that'swhat do you think, that's why the
violence when you left. Oh solet me just tell you when I first.
So I've been in Chicago as well. I think I went on first
to Chicago like six years old thatI can remember, six seven years old.
(16:41):
So the way you wear your hat, they was like, you either
gotta wear it like that or don'twear no hat because if you wear any
type of way, any type ofeven backwards, somebody gonna get on your
line. And that was like arude a wakening to me. The game
culture in uh Chicago is way moreentrenched out there than it is. It's
(17:03):
definitely out here. And I thinkLA got it from Chicago, right,
I think that Chicago gang culture andl A gang culture is a little different.
Yeah, you know, basically onhow it started. Everything started on
the same principles, you know whatI mean, protecting the neighborhood, protecting
(17:26):
our own. But as far ashow they conducted in the laying of the
rules and the structure of it isdifferent, you know what I mean.
It's got you in LA, andI don't want you to speak on it
because you may not know the culture. You could speak more so about the
Chicago culture. I mean I gotfriends on you know, your family and
both they got the ship, thevice lords and the it's a whole whole
(17:51):
And I heard every other block issomething and if you do it on this
block, you may not be ableto do it on that block. Shit,
it's crazy. It's Chicago, Yeah, it was. It was.
We stayed in one ged neighborhood,yeah, and to get to another ged
neighborhood, we had to go througha couple other neighborhoods. On the bus,
damn. You know, sometimes it'llbe crucial at the bus stops they
(18:14):
get ugly. Yeah, they getthe throwing bottles at the bus, shooting
at the bus, get on thebus, damn. You know what I
mean. So it used to bea little it used to be a little
vicious. It used to be ugly. Huh. So, man tell the
