Ain't Real Tone. This the real Money in the Room,
Real Tone, Real Money in the Room. Man. This is
episode one of the Real Tone podcasts. And I'm gonna
just go ahead and address the elephant in the room.
Right So it's being said that I'm banned from Fort
Worth and real that when the Hoover cript gang members
(00:31):
see me, I'm gonna be stamped and basically making threats
on my life. So we're gonna start like this, like
why was I even in Hooverland in the first place?
(00:51):
We're man, we give him a day life in the
hood man with us? You know what I'm saying on
my block? How we kicking and ship for that? So
you know who man ship man introduce our life? Yeah,
part that part so so right here, like what we
stay this sort of like where what is this? What's
so is this? Like what's the significance of what we ask?
(01:11):
Like why was I even on the bottom of Fort Worth,
on the south side of Fort Worth? Like what business
did I have there? Like why did I go do
a hood log? Why did I showcase statehood? Why did
I give them opportunity to you know, show the world
who they are? Why? Why? Why did this happen. How
(01:34):
did this happen? And I'm gonna also tell you why
I don't respect somebody telling me where I can't go
when I pay property taxes. You know, I don't want to.
I'm not gonna just dive too deep into the political
side of it, but I'm gonna tell you why I
don't respect it. And in first off, I was there
(01:55):
because I saved an ah CG a Hoover crip game.
I saved him. And I've never spoke on this and
I don't even like framing it like that, but that's
when I look at it, that's what happened. I saved him.
So basically, I was in Arlington one day. It's a
club called Temptations, and a shootout transpire. A lot of
(02:17):
people from fort Worth be at Temptations. I've seen Little
Ronnie there, go Yale there, like. This is a common
and popular club. Arlington is a suburb of fort Worth,
so for people from fort Worth to be there, it's
not uncommon for me to be there. It's not uncommon
because I do be outside from Tom to Tom. Now,
(02:37):
after this shootout occurs, right like, literally, a shootout happened.
Now I'm not saying that I saved him as far
as I prevented, like something from happening to him or
anything like that. But after the shootout, long story short,
there was a few people around and Bro needed a
ride to the south side of Fort Worth. Now, people
(02:58):
in my field, as he told me, are scared to
go there, like they don't go there. And I don't
blame him, you know what I'm saying. For Worth is
not an easy place, you know what I mean. You
gotta be on your p's to and q's. You gotta
have your i's dot and your t's crossed or it
can happen to you. It will happen to you. It's happened.
You don up said there all his stories and there's
(03:18):
a city full of gangbanging. Right, So, long story short,
I took Bro home. Now is that really saving somebody?
I mean, a shootout happened when Arlington the laws hot.
He could have went to jail, and you know, something
could have happened. But I gave Bro a ride. It
was cool, you know what I'm saying. Like, I actually
enjoyed Bro. I felt like he was a real dude,
(03:40):
he was a real person. He was stand up. Now
did I know he was from Hoover Crip Gang. No,
I didn't know. I didn't know Bro from Adam to Eve.
I took it as man as a black man. A
serious situation just transpired, and he needs a ride home,
and I'm in a position and I'm capable of giving
him a ride home. So I gave him a ride
home and we went to the South side of for
a worth. Now. While I was there, it was like, man, tuning,
(04:01):
you gotta mess with me broad do music. You know
what I'm saying. You gotta come check out my hood. Bro,
We're official over here. You know what I'm saying. You
always on the East Sun showing little showing favoritism. Man,
come mess with us. We got something over here, mind you.
At this time, I'm having back and forth with rappers
at the time, because it was like a season where
it was cool for like a rapper to be for
(04:23):
real tune and I would be back, you know, like
it would be known that it's like a cloud thing obviously,
because you know, like what problems can you really have
with a blogger, Like people be having real streets stuff
going on, but on some cloud stuff. I was having
issues with Peb You know what I'm saying. But you know,
obviously I've sat down with Pebe's coming to myself by Southwest,
like we typed. That's bro. But to make a long
(04:46):
story short, Trey Bo brought me to Hooverland. Treybo is
the guy who I gave a ride to. This is
why I don't respect people saying that I'm banned. The
guy in that video saying that was right next to
trey Ball whole time. So you know, Yo Patna, right, Yo, Patna,
and these is they younger, but they older ogs like
(05:07):
wild G's. You know what I'm saying. So Yo, Pattna
brought me there, and now you saying I'm banned five
years later, Like this is all back twenty twenty during
the Jada of era, back when I was covering murder Worth. Right,
So instead of saying Tune was banned and we gonna
stab him, why don't you say a tune pull up,
We want to talk to you. We want to talk
(05:28):
to you, and you let Trevo deal with it however
he need to deal with it. Like if you felt
like if you felt so offended by whatever I did
that it warrantied a band, then why don't you let
dude that brought me in that that that was the
reason y'all embraced me. Why don't you let him deal
with and why don't you let me explain what I
(05:49):
actually did? Why are people mad? So people are mad
because I went to Cali doing the same thing that
essentially did in for Worth. We had to sit down
and some people were upset about the hCG politics. Now,
mind you, I don't know anything about Cali politics except
(06:11):
from what I've been told and what I learned. So
as I'm going about the interview, there's a comment made
where somebody says he's gonna groove an h CG person
from Houston. Man, everybody was off.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Let me say Thishver. Look I read across one of
them niggas out here with that h CG talled on
even and he told me and stand for Hoover Crip
Gang and he was out of Houston a light skin.
If you're watching this, you know who you are. And Hoover,
that shit don't exist on the set. Like I told Google, Hoover,
(06:47):
you Finnah, get that shit, cover it up. He ended
up going back off that way. We ain't seeing it
Hoover Crip Gang, that shit don't exist. So if you
walking around with h CG on you and you say
that stamp for Hoover Crip Gang. If you come out
here in the fifties banging that, some bad is gonna
happen to you on either that or a nigga gonna
(07:08):
groove you, because nigga, it is like you playing with
the set. Where did that come from?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
On? Hovah? Howstonians, Texans, eight cgs, you know across the
state of Texas were offended at that statement. And I
feel like a lot of people are blaming me for
that because it happened on my platform. But I want
to say this. Imagine somebody makes a statement like that
and I don't put it out right, because yes, it
(07:39):
could have been vetted to where it would have been
a cleaner interview. But imagine if I don't put it
out because what Bro said right, he was speaking how
he feels and how his partners feel. Period point blame,
that's what it is. So imagine somebody from my state
goes to Cali and they don't know how people actually
(08:01):
feel like, they don't know. They thinking it's sweet, they
thinking it's cool and something happens to them. I feel
like that will be my fault. So I would rather
you be mad at me for attempting to look out
for you than for you to die playing because you
don't know the rules. In certain places, a lot of
(08:21):
people don't know. See it's sweet out here in Texas
compared to California. When I say it's sweet, that doesn't
mean it can't happen to you, because it will happen
to you out here, like it will happen to you, right,
it will happen to you. But in California it's a
real war zone, like they're currently at war with other crips.
Like it's crip versus crip out there, blood versus blood
(08:43):
out there. There's areas where you know it's cool, but
it's really not cool. Bright it can happen to you
out there, and they see it every day. They're dealing
with it, they're living it. And don't get me wrong,
it's like that in every hood. But in Calli because
of the game politics, it can get tricky. It can
get tricky. And the thing about Gumby is Gummy knows this.
(09:05):
He knows how tricky it can get, and he's made
the comments like people will come down here and play
on y'all's top because they know what's going on, and
y'all don't, right, and so it's like it doesn't really
matter outside of California. But in California is wicked, it's crazy,
it's wild, it's wild, man, And unless you've really been
(09:30):
you won't understand. You won't understand that. In Texas, you
can see a roll in sixty and there's no issue,
right like y'all friends, y'all probably even related, y'all probably
from the same area code like y'all probably have a
close relationship. That's how it is in Texas. In California,
it's not like that. If you get caught out of
(09:50):
bounce and you say you from somewhere, regardless of where
the politics are where you're from, it can happen to you.
And there's people who don't give a damn what. They
don't give a damn four extras. When he pulled on OK,
he shows you, man, we don't care. Got his way
up out of there, respectfully, But man, it can happen
(10:10):
to you that quick, bruh. And if you don't know that,
whose fault is it? Ignorance to the law is no
excuse for breaking it, So whose fault is it? So now,
me as a journalist coming from the state of Texas,
I get exposed to this wealth of knowledge, right, I
get embraced by this community, and I enjoyed it. Bro
(10:31):
I say it all the time. When I went to
Cali Bruh, it was one of the best experiences that
I've had. But at the same time, it's a very
serious situation that was going on. And so again, just
to keep it, let's keep it on subject here. We're
talking about the band, right, we're talking about the I've
been banned before people said our band. You know what
I'm saying. But I'm not worried about I'm not worried
(10:57):
about people who are misled. Right, You don't if my
beef ain't with you, Right, my beef ain't with you.
Your beef really ain't with me. You mad about something
that somebody else said on my platform. And I understand that,
and I understand that, But imagine if I didn't put
that out and you go down there, or one of
your homies go down there, or one of your patners
(11:19):
go down there, and they think it's sweet, something happens
to them you're gonna be thinking real to them, you
will be thinking real to him. But I guess you
don't gotta worry about that, right because I'm already did
my part, and so I'll be hated for that. If
that's why y'all mad at me. Y'all mad at me
because somebody said X y Z. I understand that now.
(11:39):
I know that there are separate issues, right, I know
that there are separate issues. Y'all feel like, oh, well,
you could have came and talked to some oh the
real ones down here and got it cleared up or
gotta understanding. I've been doing that for the last five years.
I don't know how much back and forth or how
much understanding one can, but I've literally been doing that
(12:03):
the last five years since Jada died. And I'm gonna
make my intentions clear as day. The reason why I've
been doing that, the reason why I've been doing that
is because like, I got dead homies, game, I got
dead homies, and I shouldn't, like why why do I
have dead homies? Like collage student did what I was
(12:25):
supposed to do, you know, churn my life around, and
I come into a city and the youth this is
the youth start dying. I'm making real connections with these
people and they're dying. They're getting killed people, innocent people, right,
But got these baby mom y'all know her as bu
got the baby mom Blake, I know her as chan Tavia.
(12:45):
That's my pot of eight moneies. Cuz, mind you, I'm
coming to Fort Worth to shoot his videos or mess
with him on some rap stuff. This is what I'm doing.
Early on exit twenty nine, I'm crook count up, you
know what I mean. And I'm making relationships with people
and they getting killed, women, mothers, They're getting killed because
(13:06):
of game violence. And so I'm like, whoa. This place
is literally baby California, or at least that's what people
are calling it. They call it Murderworth. It's not folk Worth,
it's not folky, It's Murderworth. How did gangs get here? Man?
I found out the truth about Jadab's death and I left.
I was done with it, literally done with it. Pivoted.
(13:28):
This is something different? Why Because when I found out
that Jada was killed by his own partners, it was like, bro,
this is beyond me, this is deep, this is deep.
But my thing is, Yes, his partners who are involved,
are at fault. But you're talking about people who are fifteen, sixteen,
(13:52):
seventeen year old impressionable minds. Right, this is beyond them.
How did they get like this? When you do your
YO researching, you do your due diligence. I talked to
one of the OG's from the south side of for Word.
He told me we were peens. We were fourteen, fifteen
years old, thirteen twelve years old getting put down with crippen.
(14:14):
They grew up under these laws and then went to
jail and lived that in jail. So the kids that
they left on the streets are the ones that I'm
witnessing get killed. And so I'm knowing even the ogs,
this is deeper than them. This is a conversation. This
(14:38):
is a conversation. This is not a when you say,
real tone started the crip. No, this is a black conversation.
This is a black conversation. This is a conversation where, oh,
you want to threaten me. You want to threaten me
because I'm speaking on issues in my community. What that
(14:59):
is my community? Now? This ain't just oh where you
born as you raised? Now, this is my community. I
got real relationships. I've been a church in Fort Worth.
I got a lot of my friends that I know
from fort Worth, Like I met him in college right
Jarvis Christian College. A lot of people from Fort Worth
went to jar period. The way I met go Brazy
(15:19):
was through a guy named Jimmy. Now I don't want
to get him to his street resume, but I know
Zimmy from Cotch. Jimmy was actually smart seventeen year old
ruined his life life. I don't know what he's doing now,
but ruined his life whatever he got going on the
trajectory in which I saw his life on when he
was around me in school, it was up here. He'll
(15:41):
move back home, became a whole gangster bruh tatted everywhere.
Like it's sad to say, but I'm saying, these are
where my relationships come from. So I owe it to them.
I feel like, now fast forward in Houston, Texas, I've
started a mentorship program where we mentor you know, boys
(16:04):
in college or whatever. And I've had several mentees from
fort Worth.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You know, one of my.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Mentees at a master's degree. I feel like that's my
way of giving back, Like we have held events and
for Worth. Turkey drives through empowering people who can empower
their communities. Right, Like, I'm one person, Brad, ain't my
responsibility to say world. But if I can empower one
and everyone can make a difference where they're from. And now,
(16:33):
the particular person I'm talking about, he's from the Little
Donnie era. Okay, a lot of people don't know about
the Little Donnie era. Maybe it's a video for another video, right,
but I'm just gonna give a little background on Little Donnie.
Little Donnie was one of the first people killed in
Fort Worth from the era that I started covering it. Right,
this is where the war between the East Side and
(16:56):
the South Side really just kicked back up. Little Donnie
was a college student going to Tyler Junior College TJC.
He comes home, he gets into a fight, he's killed,
his best friend who's there, ends up to gun action.
Bop shot his way out of the situation. Right. All
of this leads up to now Jada ub is sliding.
(17:16):
Now everybody's sliding. Now's beef on wax it. It really
kicked off a war. I'm dealing with the kids who
made it out of that, but still dealing with the PTSD.
So I see kids from the Baby Cary generation. Okay,
let's just talk a little bit about the Baby Cary generation, right,
The Baby car regeneration is a generation after Jada. Yeah,
(17:38):
because things didn't stop after Jada was killed. There was
a guy named Baby Carry. Baby Cary was in my
first ever hood law conducting on the south side of
Fort Worth. Now, the Baby Cary generation, the Baby Cary generation,
it's even more messed up because he was killed at fourteen.
(17:58):
So now you have four thirteen year old junior high
age kids going through the motions, grieving, dealing with PTSD drama.
Now they're in college and they have survivors remorse. Why me,
Why was I selected? Why was I selected to make
it out of my city? Why was I selected to
make it out of my hood? Why? Why? Now? I
(18:21):
can't focus? Now I can't stay on top of it.
You know, and people in college don't understand what you're
going through. Most of them come from good backgrounds. Mamy
Daddy atta house. You going through things that normal people
don't go through, And that's okay, that's okay, But truthfully
it is not okay. Truthfully is not okay. Truthfully is
(18:43):
not normal? Is this Dorman? You gotta ask yourself, is
this PTSD that I'm dealing with normal? No, you have
mental health issues cars and brought upon by a tragedy
that has transpired in your city, and that has been
transpired to the point to where people are numb to it.
And I'm not. I didn't come from that, man, We
didn't have that where I'm from. You know, I'm from
(19:04):
a small town in Texas, a former plantation. Now we've
had gangs come in and we have tragedies now because
of this gang banging epidemic. Okay, And so my issue
that I've come to the conclusion of is it's not
the culture of gang banger, right. It's not because if
(19:27):
you get the opportunity to go to Hoover Street or
you go to the neighborhood, you go wherever you go
in California, depending on who you with, you gonna see love,
you gonna see Mama's. It's generations of gangs going on
that it's more of a community, more of like, uh,
(19:49):
they called it a set or a hood, but it's
more of a community. The Roland sixties are not a gang.
It's a community in California. In Texas, isn't the hoovers
are not a gang in California. They're a community. Now
it is a gang, you know, technically, but it's truthfully,
(20:11):
it's a community, a gang of the community. Does that
make sense? So me noticing that and me noticing like, man,
it's people who've never even been here that are claiming
streets like I need to know why this happened or
how this happened. Hm, y'all gonna start feeling like I'm
being a dead horse after a while. Because the truth
(20:33):
of the matter is after or during, during and after segregation,
right after the sassination of Martin Luther king On all
that happened, there was a massive migration that happened from
the South. It's called the Great Migration, where blacks left
the South came to the West California. Now, they came
(20:53):
there for jobs and housing. Okay, housing that was given,
mind you at this time. Housing discrimination still exists. So
but because the government were fighting wars, there were incentives
to allow blacks to move here to work, to work
right and state work and state in these factories to
(21:18):
build for the war, right manufacturing jobs and things of
that nature. Now, these plants were closed down once the
plaques closed down. It crippled the economy in which the
blacks came to. Now, blacks had already started organizing because
they were dealing with racism in California, because whites were
not happy about blacks moving here. Inglewood and Comptonies were
(21:41):
white areas that black people came to populate. So as
black people are coming, white people are leaving. As white
people are leaving and factories are shutting down, the organization
that blacks who were doing ended up crumbling essentially, and
blacks turned against blacks. Now just ain't the video for
me to get into the first shooting that transpire, But
(22:05):
once it became a shooting loard, that's what it became. Now.
Drugs hit. When drugs hit, this revitalized the black community,
at least the underground of it. Right because money prior
to that, we've lived in only extreme poverty. We had
done experienced wealth. The wealth gap was so great and
the opportunities to make it out are so slim, right
(22:25):
like this is this is nearing the end of separate
but equal. So the opportunities that we have now they
didn't have then. But to be a drug dealer, that's easy,
Psy Limits Squeezy so now Cali people getting drugs for cheap, right,
and this is all documented. It's so documented that come
(22:48):
to find out, US foreign policy was in on it
through Corintel pro and the Warren Nickel Robbo. You know,
i'mn't even more time to break that part down, right,
But long story short, the drugs are coming in from
Nicaragua to California and are being sold and shipped now,
(23:09):
right because after you flood the streets of California like
this accessible now, but down south it's not as accessible.
And so freery Rick people like that. They really from Texas.
They really from Tyler, Texas, East Texas, Louisiana. They la
run He's from Louisiana. It's nothing to pick up the phone,
aking folk. I got a play going on, I got
(23:30):
a situation going on. I'm coming home. You know what
I'm saying. They coming home and they selling they drugs.
This is what brought gangs to Texas, the drug trade.
A lot of people are gonna argue with me and
say it was the media. It was it was, it
was it was the movie Colors. No no, no no
(23:50):
no no no no, it was n w A. Yes,
that stuff popularized gangs. But that didn't bring gangs, It
just made it pop. The drugs is what brought it.
The drugs were while they were here. If you weren't
from Texas and you like moved down there to go
visit your family or stay with your dad or something
like that, which happened a lot in frequently, the bigger
(24:15):
play was the drugs. Right now, you gotta ask yourself,
why did we as a community allow drugs to come.
The community didn't like that, okay, the community decided to
get that and the only answer the community had to
(24:35):
combat that was mass incarceration, which is a problem. Which
is a problem. Mass incarceration was not the answer. Bill
Clinton's failed drug laws did not solve the issues of
the black community. It exacerbated them. Now, the reason why
it exacerbated them is because we need jobs and we
need justice. The reason that we went to California in
(24:56):
the first place was for what jobs? The reason while
blacks are indulging in drugs and crime is for money
or jobs. These bloods and they just it's jobs. Now
when you get the twelve year olds right right, because
these county people are coming down here putting down young kids. Now,
these people aren't even the young kids. They not even
(25:18):
interested in the money. They trying to make a name
because at this time, because of these drug policies, fathers
are now locked up because of housing Because of housing laws,
mothers are not allowed to house them when they come back.
You can't stay with your family. What it don't matter
if you married baby daddy. What the situation is. If
(25:39):
there's a man in a house, he can't stay here,
he can't stay here. So now you have the generation
of fatherless kids looking for goddess and looking for affirmation,
being a real man, being a tough guy, being a provido,
looking for affirmation, and that came with violence. They come
from money because the money was already gone, whatever money
(25:59):
was in a correct error that left that left with Clinton.
It's over with. It's money still being made, but at
the level in which money was getting poured out, you
couldn't even fathom it. You couldn't fathom making five hundred
thousand a day. But there's people who can. There's how
raking gang bangers and drug dealers mostly now watch this.
There was an error before the gangs came where drugs
(26:25):
were being sold. But guess what Bill Clinton is not
where the drug trade started. Right, this has been going
on or I'm gonna say the one drug started. This
has been going on since President Nixon. Right, So you
got Nixon and you got Reagan before you get to Clinton.
(26:45):
So the sons of the Nixon and Reagan era might
be in the clean era. But the klan eerror is
where you have people like Billy Ray Maddox. And I
keep saying his name because if you go to Stop six,
there's reminances of him funding churches, of him liquor soores,
of him really building the community. And they had these
(27:09):
places ducked off of where they did their business at.
It was not in the community. Top six was still
a great place to be until gangs camp. And when
gangs came, it became more about territory in house territory, right,
and the gangs were so violent. Right, the men again
are locked up, the fathers are locked up, The gang
(27:30):
violence is here. People just wanted their communities back and
so the church, the church went out in masses and
voted for Bill Clinton. Now people are locked up. Now,
the problem has not been solved. Massive poverty still exists,
fatherlessness still exists, and the kids that are growing up
(27:51):
are even more lost than before because now it's not
even about money, it's just about violence. I don't think
the people from California are just proud of the situation.
I don't even think they care because a lot of
them got locked up, right, Like we just at the
end of the day, everybody's just trying to get some money.
And that's what happened. And so again, if you mad
(28:15):
at me, I understand, I'll be the scapegoat. I'll be
the blame. I'll be the reason that everybody's upset. I
just feel like, as far as saying somebody's band, you
could have been like hey Tune, pull up. I'm not
nonaccessible to where you couldn't say hey pull up and whatever.
Treyvo De sides like that's what go on, Like it
(28:36):
don't gotta be no jumping, you know what I'm saying,
Like if he brought me and I betrayed him, he
can't get a one on one for that if I
already betrayed him. But that's not what happened. And I
know that regardless of what I say, that's how it's
gonna be perceived. You're gonna have people say that Tune
is out of town or tune is this tune? Is
(28:56):
that tune? Is the opportunity this tune took advantage man.
The problem with black people that we're gonna continuously run
into is that we want somebody else to do for
us what we have the ability to do for ourselves,
like clean yourself up, clean yourself up, hit off drugs,
(29:20):
do better for your life, do better for your community,
do better for your kids, do better for your loved ones,
do something for your section. We can't expect for the
white man, nor a journalist to do for us what
we have the ability to do for ourselves. We have
(29:42):
to do for self because if we keep waiting for
somebody else else right, for somebody else to do for us,
we're gonna continue to get the same results or even worse,
even worse. You have people whose intentions aren't pure. You
have people who just want an opportunity, and a lot
(30:03):
of them they want an opportunity to on this here
internet and it ain't happening for him. But that doesn't mean,
that doesn't mean, now, okay, what we're gonna do bring
down the next black man. We need somebody to point
the finger out, We need somebody to blame because in
addition to this, they saying y'all wrong for the game banger,
and I'm the platform that it came out on. Man,
(30:24):
Look I'll take I'll take responsibility for that. I ain't
doing no tripping. That wasn't per se my intentions, that
wasn't per se My goal. My goal was to figure
out how this came here so we can start healing,
because the black community we need healing more than we
need anything else. We need healing. We need healing. The
black community needs to heal. That's what we need. We
(30:48):
need some healing and how we gonna heal from a
problem that either we don't know exists nor do we
know how it came to be. And I took that
upon myself to figure that out because I lost puns,
I lost people that I messed with. Man, I'm watching
I'm watching eighteen year olds get forty years. Y'all know
(31:09):
little PMG got O G. Percy's son, twenty years his
PANTABUSI fol life ninety nine years. He gonna die in jail.
He's going to die in jail. I don't know if
he has the possibility of parole. But even after forty years,
they're gonna let you out or what like. Bro, your
life is over. Your life is over. You're hoping for
(31:32):
a presidential parton or a commute. Your life is over, man.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
So I'm saying that the same. We gotta do better.
We gotta do better, We gotta do better.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Bruh.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
We're gonna ban people from areas that where we don't
own the land, we don't own property, we don't pay taxes,
and you're gonna ban somebody. Get your priority straight.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I respect the reasoning for why, and I understand the feelings,
the emotion, and the then they say, is the doubter
or is the people saying this the people saying that.
I understand that. But at the end of the day,
we have to do better as black people. You know
(32:37):
what I'm saying. Real money in the room, man, Real
money in the room.
