Speaker 1: guests who came back. But since since we went right
Speaker 1: into Glasses last week, I didn't really get to do
Speaker 1: a fact check. So I want to do a fact check.
Speaker 1: From a couple weeks ago, I actually said that ice
Speaker 1: Q hadn't put out an album in a while. Somebody
Speaker 1: corrected me and said he put out an album in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen called Everything's Corrupt that would have
Speaker 1: been his tenth studio album. I didn't really check it out.
Speaker 1: He came on, Yeah, I confirmed it. It is. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a song. He had a single too Short on
Speaker 1: there with a sample uh mm hm hm hmmm mm
Speaker 1: hmmmm mmmm what's that whole? So was it good? Uh?
Speaker 1: It ain't nothing like his early albums. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: hard for people to be still really good. Um, and
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. Two weeks ago about forty
Speaker 1: year old rap forty and up. Um, how many of
Speaker 1: the forty year old rappers and older are still relevant today,
Speaker 1: and we went through a whole list of them. I
Speaker 1: don't know what do we say about Ice C. He's
Speaker 1: still relevant, but in terms of music and putting out albums,
Speaker 1: he hasn't put out a major hitting in a minute.
Speaker 1: It just really depends on scar Face. I think face
Speaker 1: fire forty is still real good. Forty is really still
Speaker 1: good and two changes over forty. Yeah, and he's got
Speaker 1: He's Cube. Um, it might the production. I think he
Speaker 1: needs a challenge, and I think Connie's going staying in
Speaker 1: his comfort zone and it ain't challenging because you got
Speaker 1: some god damn much money. How could you really deliver
Speaker 1: hip hop if you don't. Yeah, well, he's got his
Speaker 1: basketball league. I'm sure he's putting a lot of energy
Speaker 1: and effort into getting that thing successful. He's gonna take
Speaker 1: five years before to make a profit. Yeah all right. Also, um,
Speaker 1: I think Reggie, you asked about Nellie how old he was?
Speaker 1: We didn't know, but I looked it up. He was
Speaker 1: born the seventy four, so that makes him this year.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's really doing much. I got
Speaker 1: a song, I got a song with Nellie and new
Speaker 1: song with Nellie and sounds good still and listen to this. Wait,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, James. I mentioned Ice Tea last week. I'm
Speaker 1: two weeks ago saying that I still think he spits fired.
Speaker 1: Reggie laughed at me, But you was in the studio.
Speaker 1: I was there. You kt Iced Tea was spitting some bars,
Speaker 1: but I had never heard Iced Tea fucked up man,
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna lie on nice Tea like that
Speaker 1: motherfucker's still oaken wrap. I try to tell tell it
Speaker 1: might be better now than he was. Then what did
Speaker 1: I said? This guy Iced Tea is spitting harder bars,
Speaker 1: he got his seven fans. In my rear views, Iced
Speaker 1: Tea is cold? What was funny? I did a podcast
Speaker 1: called um the Red Alert with Van Layton for TMZ,
Speaker 1: and I was talking about the five most important songs
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, like influential Important at six am
Speaker 1: was the first song that you can name because it
Speaker 1: was the storyteller. And so to hear him do another
Speaker 1: story with fans in my rear view, I thought that
Speaker 1: was dope that came out this year two thousand nineteen.
Speaker 1: He's in the sixties, he's older than me in the sixties,
Speaker 1: so you're about fifties six he had sixties. Iced Tea
Speaker 1: is sixties something he got were right there with with
Speaker 1: what's what's the boy here? The older than Dry from
Speaker 1: New York. Uh, Curtis blow right. He was already grown
Speaker 1: adult man when Breaking came out, and when I was
Speaker 1: a little kid five, he was probably twenty six d
Speaker 1: in or something. So you got to be in the sixties,
Speaker 1: and he sounds good, that motherfucker crap. I got a
Speaker 1: song with him and snooped as hard as ship. Iced
Speaker 1: Tea is snoop. Now when you wasn't recording in the studio?
Speaker 1: Was that earlier this year, late last year, earlier this year?
Speaker 1: What was you doing a song with King Tea and
Speaker 1: Iced Tea or so? What happened was Iced Tea was
Speaker 1: working on the project for a partner, Like I really
Speaker 1: thought that was cool. Ice really still funk with his partners,
Speaker 1: like he if you started company, Like he came back
Speaker 1: and did some songs for his partner who started the company,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna just make some songs for you, said
Speaker 1: you can get your company off the ground. And um
Speaker 1: he called me like, hey, g would you come to
Speaker 1: the studio. I'm like yeah, I come through for your Jesus,
Speaker 1: tell me where's that? So we go to the studio.
Speaker 1: It's King T in there. It's um, it's a couple
Speaker 1: of other like legendary dudes. A Breeze, Breeze and somebody
Speaker 1: and I didn't know about, but like I was supposed
Speaker 1: to be like, not Breeze, not that breeze. So Breeze
Speaker 1: is like l a crew dude. So like Pool when
Speaker 1: they first started this a little bit before my time,
Speaker 1: but it's Pool back Uh, Bobcat whoever they was producing.
Speaker 1: This dude was like the guy. Um, it was some
Speaker 1: other dudes. I can't remember, Henji, but they were all competitive,
Speaker 1: like they was fucking with King T because it was
Speaker 1: taking him long to make a verse, and they had
Speaker 1: jokes and ship and they I was like, these motherfucker's
Speaker 1: are still competing at fifty and sixty years old on
Speaker 1: the mic, Like motherfucker, Like I was taking you so long,
Speaker 1: King T, and King you know T was in there
Speaker 1: like he hadn't wrapped in a year or two, so
Speaker 1: he was kind of putting it together and they was
Speaker 1: like they buzzed me making jokes and ship like he's
Speaker 1: taking you forever. Like this ship is crazy. That sucked
Speaker 1: me up. Well, glasses is correct. Actually was born in
Speaker 1: nineteen and makes them sixty one years old. He's probably
Speaker 1: the only over sixty rapper in the game. And he
Speaker 1: sounds good as ship he does. It sounds really good.
Speaker 1: And you would think once she started his movie career
Speaker 1: that that you lose interest in rapping in and knowing, man,
Speaker 1: I'm too old to be rapping in going to do
Speaker 1: rap councles and ship like that. So he's more in
Speaker 1: a comfort zone when when it comes to you know, uh,
Speaker 1: he put out a video fans in my rear view,
Speaker 1: the motherfucker's ship is hard, man, The motherfucker can still rap.
Speaker 1: He got a song, I got a sound like I said,
Speaker 1: well him and snoop and he sounds like really good.
Speaker 1: It sucked me up. So is he doing? Is he
Speaker 1: doing an album or is he? I mean, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? He was just working around so he made
Speaker 1: the songs. I don't I don't know how he put
Speaker 1: out some music with them, like a presentation like iced
Speaker 1: Tea presents and I wrapped on one or two of
Speaker 1: the songs. Um he can tee. He did some stuff
Speaker 1: with exhibit different people and he was just rapping, but
Speaker 1: he sounded good and he was writing this stuff. And
Speaker 1: that really blew me away because you know, usually when
Speaker 1: people get to a certain place, they like, I ain't
Speaker 1: got time to rapping. Ship. That motherfucker came in there
Speaker 1: like struck his ship up, dropped that ship. I was like,
Speaker 1: still doing it like that, Like that fucked me up.
Speaker 1: I guess you don't lose it once you got, if
Speaker 1: you really got a lot of rappers lose it over there.
Speaker 1: They lost it. That's why you ain't never heard the
Speaker 1: song before. The ones you're talking about lost it, so
Speaker 1: you ain't never heard the song before in your life.
Speaker 1: I ain't never heard the song. I was in the
Speaker 1: studio listened to it, and I was like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I was there for a whole another purpose. You know.
Speaker 1: It's all about marketing until you gotta know the market,
Speaker 1: and it's right up your Alley's right up your alley.
Speaker 1: You go, don't know the market. Some of this ship,
Speaker 1: I think it's up. I think Robert ship is still
Speaker 1: wrapping at fifty and sixty. Yeah, but you gotta dig
Speaker 1: back and all of that the stuff that they did
Speaker 1: to made them big and made them famous. Now when
Speaker 1: you have grandkids, you can't telling my My point is
Speaker 1: the stuff they're hits. Charlie Wilson, don't go and I'm
Speaker 1: going to watch the old No, nothing like that, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch the old Jays and the Spinners
Speaker 1: come out with a new I don't want to hear nothing.
Speaker 1: Oh I want to hear I'm missing brand day. I
Speaker 1: want to hear all of that. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear the world motherfuck like wrap your first song was
Speaker 1: my first song off the street, and it was if
Speaker 1: the beef gonna pop on my niggas right through. Got
Speaker 1: a hundred kids with me and a hundred pot of rules,
Speaker 1: and it was like this dope song. Motherfucker's want me
Speaker 1: to wrap it, I'll be like, I don't remember the
Speaker 1: worst that you know. You've been wrapping up. Thank going
Speaker 1: wrong with it because I think the old screwl wrapped.
Speaker 1: I wish all this new ship anytime. I don't why
Speaker 1: motherfucker's don't put out more albums like she Loose from
Speaker 1: the Locks got better over time. Um kill just ain't challenging.
Speaker 1: He just needs the producer. I think it's that's my opinion.
Speaker 1: I think it's a production that ain't challenging him. I like,
Speaker 1: I like big Daddy King. You like to hear sweat?
Speaker 1: Ain't that old? Don't want to hear him? Motherfucker, biggest thing. Everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody with their choices, nobody. You don't like any bigger.
Speaker 1: If you wrap and you're seeing you should keep making music.
Speaker 1: If it's in you. To me, you don't stop like
Speaker 1: getting older on me? You stopped. You're supposed to have
Speaker 1: more wisdom and more game for me. Like I pull
Speaker 1: the song out my ask what can't Dre rap about now?
Speaker 1: We don't want to hear him talking about taking xt
Speaker 1: pills in the sixth four? Is this what you give
Speaker 1: so you don't have to He's not because I said, say,
Speaker 1: you're not really a rapper. Thousand one, with two of
Speaker 1: the biggest albums in the history of yours, came rapping
Speaker 1: about the way living now being to be in there
Speaker 1: and this isn't it because we can't relate to it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear but that everybody nobody rap
Speaker 1: about Mary jack zut I'm talking about with his wife.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, I don't know, that's why we can't
Speaker 1: think about it. But you still but but then again,
Speaker 1: but you know we think of James, we're thinking about
Speaker 1: hard knocks, um your life. So you don't mean people
Speaker 1: rap about like regular life stuff. Um not that, not
Speaker 1: with his way up there. I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about you. Don't want to nothing about the rich name.
Speaker 1: I don't know you. I don't want to you. I
Speaker 1: think that's why Death Row was successful. Death average man
Speaker 1: and that was the commons. Man. You gotta think like
Speaker 1: the outfits that was wearing. The outfits was send to
Speaker 1: it was too penalty and T shirt khakis and the
Speaker 1: chiff Time and changed, man, time to change. And you
Speaker 1: don't want to be stuck in the past. But I
Speaker 1: don't mind going back to the past for a few
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to hear year old roppers,
Speaker 1: to be honest. I mean there's something rappers. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear them, Like, can you imagine Hammer doing
Speaker 1: an album? He dances, that's that's not yeah. Can you
Speaker 1: but I go watch Hammer do a show. Can't you
Speaker 1: still move like that? Remember when Snoop at the end
Speaker 1: of Snoop Dog Trial, Man, I haven't had that little
Speaker 1: dance counts we should then, haven't had a little dance.
Speaker 1: It was really kind of sign of death ro too.
Speaker 1: But I haven't needed money though. Um. One time I
Speaker 1: talked the ship, I talked to Pop about it, and
Speaker 1: he was telling me how much money they spent the
Speaker 1: gamest snow by the jail. Well not just to give
Speaker 1: him out of jail, because that was just a million house,
Speaker 1: but I mean to fight the case four and a half,
Speaker 1: to fight me, that is fucking crazy. And I saw
Speaker 1: an interview that he did today when you're talking, I
Speaker 1: ain't never seen the men and don't check yeah, mother,
Speaker 1: because your first Evie was already upside down for and
Speaker 1: to have me and find me for the trial, not
Speaker 1: to even count the studios, the videos and your coast
Speaker 1: the living. See. I could just ask y'all motherfucker's questions
Speaker 1: all day. It's all kind of ship. I need to
Speaker 1: plug in so I understand the real time he and
Speaker 1: most of his songs or samples, and you know the
Speaker 1: game about public no publishing money left if you know,
Speaker 1: if everything is clear, sample right now that came with
Speaker 1: that came from side of fact, and they're probably at
Speaker 1: least have any five percents because you asked, because it

Speaker 1: with that is she kept pulling me and pulling me,
Speaker 1: and then she stopped and grabbed my shirt. You better
Speaker 1: come on in there, you're coming, and I just hit it.
Speaker 1: I went to Walding you to get used to have
Speaker 1: that little thick wood thing at Walden, And man, I
Speaker 1: was so bad in in elementary. I had this incident
Speaker 1: with Michael hating them when we moved in the hood
Speaker 1: seventy three, shunning folk and uh, these guys was actually
Speaker 1: trying to like where you live at this new kid
Speaker 1: on the block. I ain't say ship. I just walked away,
Speaker 1: went back to the house, got two big as a
Speaker 1: bunch of ash, and went back to school. And when
Speaker 1: I seen Michael jay on the playground, I started chasing
Speaker 1: that ass with the nash, trying to poke him in
Speaker 1: his ass. Nobody ever, no more, no more. I was
Speaker 1: looking at old pictures, like high school pictures, and how
Speaker 1: in the fifties content was like, come to high school
Speaker 1: was all white still yeah where we was there. We
Speaker 1: bought our house from a white guy and it was
Speaker 1: still white people there. Man, So both of y'all from content.
Speaker 1: So this is a good right. So you have y'all
Speaker 1: ever met anybody that worked off Alameda or in the
Speaker 1: warehouses where we used to street race on Manville. No,
Speaker 1: how is it all these hundreds of jobs, hundreds of
Speaker 1: jobs that are which you call them lumber came there
Speaker 1: back in the days General Motors was over there. Well,
Speaker 1: he talked about you thought about your watts. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: talked about and I'm talking about straight down Alameda to
Speaker 1: all the way that all of those way back then
Speaker 1: they were taking. That's when the train usould come through
Speaker 1: there right there periodically. Now they start knocking them houses down,
Speaker 1: and they started building these pretty much warehouse got opening
Speaker 1: businesses and ship So when they started doing it, it
Speaker 1: was just basically like and there's always been the mesicans
Speaker 1: right there. Uh, windshields, tires, the lumber yards. They got
Speaker 1: all kind of like like like oil things, and nobody
Speaker 1: my whole life, Like I said, growing up right there
Speaker 1: around I never met nobody back then. Anybody know you've
Speaker 1: been coming down Like if you be closer to like
Speaker 1: closer to like Alandra and Contor Boulevard and you come
Speaker 1: to um Greenley, there's like factories, not just they got
Speaker 1: the jump yards, but they have some like oil refinance.
Speaker 1: It's hundreds of jobs over there, and nobody on Black
Speaker 1: work there. But we wouldn't go over there to get
Speaker 1: a job. We ain't gonna go over there and do
Speaker 1: that type of work. Was General Motors was that was
Speaker 1: That's where everybody works. Everybody parents, all of those other
Speaker 1: jobs like lucky. Most of the parents were the lucky that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been trying to figure out forever, like you got
Speaker 1: these jobs, right if nobody from our community like not
Speaker 1: not none of the because none of them is from
Speaker 1: the community worked there. You ever noticed how much traffic
Speaker 1: it is leaving out of content like of meter and
Speaker 1: when you get on with the new, with the new,
Speaker 1: when the new centers with with all them car lots.
Speaker 1: When I was little, it was all them car lots
Speaker 1: right there that I knew. I knew the cars. I
Speaker 1: didn't know who was the person was the owner. But
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's so much traffic. It's like everybody got
Speaker 1: jobs in the city and then they leave and that
Speaker 1: and that's why every business on Alameda is still there
Speaker 1: because of the high volume of traffic. I don't care
Speaker 1: what you do, right, now today, if you needed anything
Speaker 1: for your car, if you needed any anything, you can
Speaker 1: go Valli Media and find it. And then the crows
Speaker 1: think about it. They got the big old casino in
Speaker 1: there and guess for the look it up, it's called
Speaker 1: Crystal Park City. Yeah, it's not even comfortable. And how
Speaker 1: did that? Man, I'm sorry, I got a dollar questions
Speaker 1: so I know, but let me get these questions off
Speaker 1: because I don't know all that industrial area over there.
Speaker 1: They don't even know that the change and exactly is
Speaker 1: that the text name? Now? They just did it because
Speaker 1: they don't want to be associated with the name comfort.
Speaker 1: They call it um. The district that's behind that was
Speaker 1: that county area though they don't even consider Atlantic and
Speaker 1: rosecrans Compton because that's considered uh county area. Yeah, Line
Speaker 1: Park really isn't Rancho. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. But think
Speaker 1: about it, right, if all of those businesses is paying taxes,
Speaker 1: the community taxes that people have, if you take them
Speaker 1: away from the city, then you crept with the economy
Speaker 1: of the city and then you have this random thing
Speaker 1: going on where you're paying taxes into Rancho, Domingas or
Speaker 1: like in Watts they call it woolla broo. So now
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay taxes so un easy. So
Speaker 1: all these businesses paying taxes, the taxes that the state
Speaker 1: and all the taxes, all of that money shipped to
Speaker 1: some degree like have something to do the city. But
Speaker 1: they don't have two no more. Because that's funny, y'all
Speaker 1: never worked that, none of those places. No. Well, I
Speaker 1: worked at one. It was called Tiguards Steele and they
Speaker 1: had two of them. They had one in Paramounty one
Speaker 1: right before when the whe the tracks cut and where
Speaker 1: that's when I say Manchester in Alameter, yeah, Firestone, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it all depends. You got some of them there.
Speaker 1: You've got some brothers that's still work down there. But
Speaker 1: all problem is we ain't fin a crushed cans. My grandfather,
Speaker 1: my uncle just retired fifty one years. My mother uncle
Speaker 1: retired fifty years working at an aluminum place. Good benefits
Speaker 1: get paid every Friday, and it's called award an average.
Speaker 1: You know those they left and went to they had
Speaker 1: them win in Paramount they left. Yeah, until they left.
Speaker 1: I mean back then, eighteen nineteen years old, getting a
Speaker 1: little check, cool check. Everything was a fair check. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't McDonald's. Oh no, it wouldn't know. We wouldn't, man,
Speaker 1: We weren't doing that. I know. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So if they're paying fair, it makes sense. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: pay cool, they pay real cool. But what happened is
Speaker 1: is those people didn't want to stay there because all
Speaker 1: the ship if you go and look at at and
Speaker 1: had had the white people coming and look at your
Speaker 1: your business, and you got all the gang right, and
Speaker 1: then you got people sleeping out in front of the business,
Speaker 1: they didn't want to be there no more. And a
Speaker 1: lot of them left because of that. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They couldn't clean, They couldn't clean it up.
Speaker 1: They couldn't clean it looked it just I don't know.
Speaker 1: They sold them, motherfucker. They moved on and and we
Speaker 1: tried to go to the one in Paramount, but they
Speaker 1: was you know, man, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: why did they ever get rid of to Conto Police department, Well,
Speaker 1: there was this cricket mirror. He's for some reason, um,
Speaker 1: Alex want to be his best friend. For some reason.
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to do interview. I feel it
Speaker 1: was unfair when he was convicted but anyway, misappropriation of funds.
Speaker 1: Guess what he was spending money on? Golf items, a
Speaker 1: pair of shoes. It's not like hundreds of dollars, but
Speaker 1: he was small. He was convicted of spending less than
Speaker 1: five dollars over why I was about to tell you
Speaker 1: until I was rudely interrupted question because I don't know.
Speaker 1: But what happened was so this cricket mirror. He was
Speaker 1: getting investigated, and he wanted the chief of police to
Speaker 1: go and say, hey, why the fans only, why is
Speaker 1: they on me? Two police were like, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to they I'm an acting while they're investigating you. If
Speaker 1: you're doing something wrong, don't do it. Leave it alone.
Speaker 1: But the chief of police, when he was a commander,
Speaker 1: you give him heads up because prior of that, Walter
Speaker 1: Tucker Jr. And Pat Moore and all they only got indicted.
Speaker 1: And so he had pulled on more Bradley's coat tail
Speaker 1: and told him before about always trash companies. I'll watched
Speaker 1: the Italians and it's the Armenian owned trash company every
Speaker 1: single time. Yeah, they get you. And so anyway is
Speaker 1: that true? Yeah company, it's it's all a front with Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all, Hey, let's let's do some business dealings. Mr Mayor,
Speaker 1: I got this trash company. Maybe you could pay me
Speaker 1: or many people on the trash company company. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: they did Merke what's called Merkel now waste management. But however,
Speaker 1: end up they end up getting the casino. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to started being going all of that. They end
Speaker 1: up getting the license for the casino in the city
Speaker 1: of Companies. So that's that's all of this going on
Speaker 1: with with the with these people. But they eventually became
Speaker 1: informants for the fans once they got caught up. So
Speaker 1: anyway one was doing, he was getting investigated and all
Speaker 1: of that, and they was trying to get him and
Speaker 1: shut out. Showed out to this band, come to the
Speaker 1: police stations. So what they did, yeah, because there was
Speaker 1: a person that might have been one of the worst
Speaker 1: things that happened to conference. Because why because I think
Speaker 1: the content police was more integrated into the neighborhood and
Speaker 1: it's more like you can have more effects strangers. It's hard.
Speaker 1: But you know what one thing about him, they didn't
Speaker 1: they didn't cut that. They didn't I mean to be
Speaker 1: to have all those black officers out there like that
Speaker 1: you know they're about to share. So where everybody thought
Speaker 1: that cooking cook cooking cooking. So I'm nothing about you.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about people that's out there, your boy
Speaker 1: over there, and you know they think that. But I
Speaker 1: just want to say they all got hired by this.
Speaker 1: They all became employed by the l A County Sheriff
Speaker 1: Department and and they all did well. I mean there
Speaker 1: was I have no problem with the Compton p D.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Compton p D rarely shot people that
Speaker 1: were unarmed because involved shooting. That's that's the solution to
Speaker 1: all the police shooting. And none of them got indicted.
Speaker 1: There are any Compton p D officer. The thing is,
Speaker 1: the reason it works better is because those are people
Speaker 1: from the community. The first time I ever got caught
Speaker 1: got in trouble, I stole the car. We stole a
Speaker 1: car in Paramount and were driving it back because my
Speaker 1: boy Dave had a Seveal and we want to fix
Speaker 1: it Seveal. So we stole a car. He come picked
Speaker 1: me up in the middle of the night. Well it's
Speaker 1: actually probably it was the middle of the night, maybe
Speaker 1: like one in the morning. I'm so pumped because we're
Speaker 1: stealing cars for no reason. I don't I leave out
Speaker 1: without no shirt and shoes on them because I'm like,
Speaker 1: he like, I just need you to bring the car back,
Speaker 1: to bring it back, to put it back on occasion.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I go with you. So we go.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get the car. So I'm coming back. When
Speaker 1: I'm coming back to bring the car back, I'm coming through,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come down Greenley to come to the backside.
Speaker 1: We're coming up. I come down Atlantic. Uh come onto
Speaker 1: the little street with Atlantic drawers at and just blow
Speaker 1: through the stop sign. Police pulled me over for me.
Speaker 1: I got my license and everything in my pocket. He
Speaker 1: not harassing me and nothing. I'm like, here on my
Speaker 1: life and he's like, got your insurance. I can't open
Speaker 1: the glove box of cat like the motherfucker lot. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: this lock, I don't got mother key blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: He not paying no attention. Finally something and he, uh,
Speaker 1: look it up see the stories like it's a bad day, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta So I went with him. I was sick.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn that motherfucker. Let my mom come
Speaker 1: get me and the prison. I just turned well, no,
Speaker 1: I at that point, I just turned their team rather John.
Speaker 1: But I mean he didn't even put me through nothing.
Speaker 1: He could have made my life hard as hell. I
Speaker 1: had a kid about stop me from stealing card about
Speaker 1: two or three years ago. And I was just walking
Speaker 1: in the store, minded my own business, and he said, Reggie, sayy, Reggie,
Speaker 1: when you're about coming a little Reggie, A little Reggie.
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you thank you. He said, Man,
Speaker 1: you acquired me with some dope on McMillan. I remember,
Speaker 1: was on McMillan Street over Dave in their house in
Speaker 1: front of David, their mouse. They were hiding all the
Speaker 1: cocaine up under their watch at the time. That's how
Speaker 1: they was. And he said, man and his mama came
Speaker 1: because he was he was with juvenile. He was like
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen. His mama came over there crying and they
Speaker 1: started beating me while I'm gotten even handcuffs and started
Speaker 1: beating even. And I took the handcufs off and just say,
Speaker 1: you know what, go home with your mama because she could.
Speaker 1: She gonna do more, he said. But he said every
Speaker 1: sister that he had nussed up. He said he'd been
Speaker 1: on the straight path and all of that. So my
Speaker 1: point did all the saying all of that is sometimes
Speaker 1: you just you know, um of the spirit of the law.
Speaker 1: You never know how it's gonna work out for it
Speaker 1: for somebody, I mean, and some of them instidents do
Speaker 1: out and better you you know, in in a different
Speaker 1: kind of you onff your you know, different path. But
Speaker 1: you gotta get a lot of cops like that. I
Speaker 1: think you need way more than one. Plus you're talking
Speaker 1: about small town police and yeah, you have to have
Speaker 1: more than one that give a fun you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because today, black cop, it's like, you got
Speaker 1: to prove to this white cop, I'm just as aggressive
Speaker 1: as you and he put his shop out there. Would
Speaker 1: you agree to me with me? No? I agree? And
Speaker 1: that was the beauty of our department that we didn't
Speaker 1: have to um to tolerate that as much because we
Speaker 1: had a little bit of management that were black. You know,
Speaker 1: it was like we were. But I think I really believe,
Speaker 1: you know, and I really believe in my heart though
Speaker 1: that's the problem like the police basis, you know, like
Speaker 1: problems ample like in Compton is one thing with somethinge
Speaker 1: in my mom's house it's one thing, right, You're gonna
Speaker 1: see brothers people from around the area, so it's not
Speaker 1: such a disconnect. Even getting pulled over, they're not. Most
Speaker 1: of them wouldn't even larry about pulling the motherfucker over.
Speaker 1: They they felt like they wasn't fair. Yeah, they knew
Speaker 1: they had the upper hand when especially with the white
Speaker 1: cops right now on to day. Just imagine the white
Speaker 1: cops coming from uh Newpa. And now you got some
Speaker 1: black cats out there looking fear for mother. That gotta
Speaker 1: look real crazy. Just imagine what are you thinking looking
Speaker 1: up to this cat. And then you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if this dude for the blew my brands out
Speaker 1: or not. But once you got the situation to where okay,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm at a good medium with this person, that's
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to keep it. Simply see that they
Speaker 1: gotta it's good and then they just take it and
Speaker 1: just it's just human beings. But they have to get
Speaker 1: they want this this name, but they said they want
Speaker 1: to be known. I want you all to know one
Speaker 1: and spread the words on I think some of them
Speaker 1: just trying to get that, trying to put that in you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had had a gang unit from Linwood Shares.
Speaker 1: Greg and Jackson came and read it out. You know,
Speaker 1: I had photo. I was just big with every blood
Speaker 1: and the motherfucker I had the river that's pretty fair,
Speaker 1: was usually pretty fair. This motherfucker, I'm making a long
Speaker 1: story short. This motherfucker, Greg slapped the ship out of
Speaker 1: me without didn't answer this question. Now, why the funck
Speaker 1: you do that? Though I'm sitting here. You know how
Speaker 1: you going to the little gang unit and their little trailer.
Speaker 1: They handcuffed you. Okay, you know that you can do
Speaker 1: what the fun you want to do, but you want
Speaker 1: me at this point, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: then he wanted me to do a uh. I think
Speaker 1: they was coming out with cops or some ship. Do
Speaker 1: this video ship man. The motherfucker's snapped the ship out
Speaker 1: of me. I felt lesser than a motherfucking man because
Speaker 1: I can't do nothing to this motherfucking man. Just slap
Speaker 1: the ship out of me. You feel me? So, we
Speaker 1: don't have a choice. I han't been in that situation.
Speaker 1: He was about to fight back the black cop though,
Speaker 1: because I wasn't handcu when handcuffs and I was standing
Speaker 1: around the gang of other cops. He go a cop
Speaker 1: that I used to bully or talking wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that I used to touch a long time. He came, motherfuck,
Speaker 1: but this motherfucker's chasing me in the black and white
Speaker 1: in the police car. Now he catch the situation, Dad
Speaker 1: hand called me, and then he goes into the station like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I caught my saying well like like it
Speaker 1: was something and he was being bullied. He was being
Speaker 1: a bully to me for a minute, and then uh.
Speaker 1: The only thing that say my motherfucking answering there was
Speaker 1: Reggie Right, Senior, because when that motherfucker said I saw
Speaker 1: you do it, you ain't see me do a motherfucking thing.
Speaker 1: And he went to hit me, I'm I'm coming back
Speaker 1: like that, and Reggie grabbed me. What then do you
Speaker 1: think you do? You're gonna get yourself killed in there,
Speaker 1: and and slung my ass to the to the other
Speaker 1: side over there. Okay, damn, it's one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: and Reggie right, So they'd beat the ship out of
Speaker 1: me if I hit that officer. They got to touch
Speaker 1: each other, But I mean, at some point you get
Speaker 1: tired of it, and you get tired of these police
Speaker 1: officers doing you the way they do you. Man, I
Speaker 1: sitting here and got my hands on the car. Black
Speaker 1: police officers say, fucking sagging, what with the fucking billy
Speaker 1: club right down the edge of my ass, my back.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying that then you had a lot of
Speaker 1: them full ship, you know what I'm saying. So you
Speaker 1: don't you don't get a good report with that type
Speaker 1: of police officer. So every time, every time you have
Speaker 1: altercation with this or come in contact with this cat,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be something. Because it wasn't nothing good. Come
Speaker 1: to Reggie and tell you come to police station. You
Speaker 1: uhould come to my house. We had these rolling windows
Speaker 1: and every time they came, because all the game bankers
Speaker 1: came to my house. If you dishing't come on killing
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We had the garage hooked
Speaker 1: up and all this ship and I used to cut
Speaker 1: them out through the window, get the funk with out
Speaker 1: of my yard, rolling windows up. And the only person
Speaker 1: that can make me open that door and come outside
Speaker 1: and talk his that. You know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of these catching landwood, knock their
Speaker 1: teeth out, and all the ship out right I told him, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: don't with my sister, don't talk to and no nothing.
Speaker 1: They walked through the hood. Yeah, I must think I'm
Speaker 1: playing with y'all. So when I see them, I take off.
Speaker 1: So the O G is like, can't let him walk away? Okay,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna let him walk away? Then, So we
Speaker 1: did we We we beat the ship out of these dudes,
Speaker 1: and uh, who they're saying to come get us office? Right? Reggie? Right?
Speaker 1: So we hitting fencive boom bloom, bloom bloom, and Reggie said,
Speaker 1: I ain't chasing the motherfucker's Reggie came to the house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we lived right down the street from you.
Speaker 1: Tell James to call me. He know he funked up.
Speaker 1: He did that wrong. You shouldn't beat them boys like that.
Speaker 1: Tell him you got to talk to me, mama. Tell
Speaker 1: him we're on Pine, weight on him and me and
Speaker 1: drew him sit there on Pine and Reggie came and
Speaker 1: got us, took us to jail. But it was it
Speaker 1: was only because it was him, the way he treats you.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But everybody ain't gonna get that,
Speaker 1: because if you talk ship to him, you don't funk
Speaker 1: yours off even with this one. You ain't spoken in
Speaker 1: the in the in the jail cell if if you're
Speaker 1: coming in, they're talking ship to him, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But we were all cool and I had
Speaker 1: a good report with with with the right family, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But you get some cops that
Speaker 1: that are really trying to get a name for the ship,
Speaker 1: and they and they try to do you in and
Speaker 1: but like I said, Graves them was the coldest motherfucker's
Speaker 1: ever you know, Rest in peace, Big Frank. True story,
Speaker 1: Uh Big Frank. We used to call him six Flags,
Speaker 1: remember Big Frank. And Big Frank just got out of prison.
Speaker 1: And before he went to prison, he raped his well,
Speaker 1: he went to prison for raping his teacher. She gave
Speaker 1: him I m I said, well, why the fund you raper?
Speaker 1: Could she get your app? She wouldn't let me fuck,
Speaker 1: So I raped the bus. And so he used to
Speaker 1: walk through Centinel Block with a red rag right here,
Speaker 1: a red rag in his back pocket, red reg and
Speaker 1: around his head. So we're kicking him. One day engraved
Speaker 1: them pulled up on him and why did they start
Speaker 1: taking his rags and throwing him on the ground. He
Speaker 1: went nutty. I had to calm him down. Frank. They
Speaker 1: feeling killed you. They gonna shoot him on Stockton. They
Speaker 1: finned killing him, and they took him to jail. And
Speaker 1: that morning they found him behind the bungalow's right there

Speaker 1: y'all heard neighborhoods the inn hoods killed your boy. Big
Speaker 1: Frank hunt automatically, we'll be Frank did, Oh it's on,
Speaker 1: let's go get these knicks. But y'all just took him
Speaker 1: to jail yesterday, killed him. His girls, she was pregnant, shout,
Speaker 1: don't want to shotgun right behind the police station. We
Speaker 1: knew it was them. We knew it was there the police.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to say it? Yeah, we knew
Speaker 1: it was Grade. Now really yeah, I never heard that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how big thing died. Right. Let me let y'all
Speaker 1: know once again. Grades was not a comfortable police officer was.
Speaker 1: That's what people out there. That's why Luke did because
Speaker 1: being at Mom's house and being at pops house was
Speaker 1: completely different. Being at Mom's house the police jack you
Speaker 1: up so well. I grew up. You gotta think This
Speaker 1: is when the when the Seven Ohs first started tripping
Speaker 1: on black people. So this happened. You grew up, so
Speaker 1: you knew g Ray and all of them. I told
Speaker 1: him a story about g ra Killer No. Seven. They
Speaker 1: didn't understand about Ray Country. Yeah, Pool, so Paul all that,
Speaker 1: I know all of them, right, So that's my mom's house, right.
Speaker 1: So when the when the seven Ohs first before got
Speaker 1: over to the looters, you know when they got over there,
Speaker 1: when it was first right there, what they called that
Speaker 1: tiny gates or cheeks. Now they was just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I knew some of them too, Poppy, I knew Pop,
Speaker 1: remember the black dude I was over there, and then
Speaker 1: Reese was the mess up teeth or so when it
Speaker 1: first started, when they first started chipping off black people,
Speaker 1: like you know, we knew everybody, you knew them all,
Speaker 1: something happened. Whatever it is, they got sucked up and
Speaker 1: they thought it was the Nutties, but it was, well,
Speaker 1: y'all know where all that ship comes from though, right
Speaker 1: stem from right. Prisoner the Misians was getting the wrong
Speaker 1: goddamn deal in Compton the man eighties, early nineties through
Speaker 1: through through when their numbers were smaller smaller. Let me
Speaker 1: chell you something, man, I wouldn't even what little what
Speaker 1: they called the loud nightclubs. It was on and cracking.
Speaker 1: Motherfucker's paid they rent off them, yeah, motherfucker's And they
Speaker 1: got they got to the point where that's a different
Speaker 1: type of men. Yeah, that's the Pisces. That's the kid
Speaker 1: the border right that I never forget right on motherfucker's
Speaker 1: so right that you know the gas they's not right
Speaker 1: by the high school. Yeah, right, so that's where your
Speaker 1: boy got killed. Well, uh, that was over there by
Speaker 1: robs St. But no, this is so closer, so right
Speaker 1: on occasion and the laundry, the pre school that's right
Speaker 1: on the corner. Now, I'll never forget it. Man. It
Speaker 1: was like they hit up c K b K p
Speaker 1: K Nigga killer. That ship sucked me up. The first
Speaker 1: time I ever had a gun put on me, we
Speaker 1: was walking up a Caju going back home for me.
Speaker 1: I had to be about eleven and some seven those
Speaker 1: put up a muzzle, came out the motherfucker window with
Speaker 1: holes in it like some ship out of a movie.
Speaker 1: And then they started making money too. And back to
Speaker 1: the point and not to cut you off, but being
Speaker 1: with the counter police, it was cool, like you could
Speaker 1: tell that they handled you with care. When I go
Speaker 1: to Pop's house and you have to deal with them
Speaker 1: because you gotta think the liv with share station is
Speaker 1: right there. Remember it moved to where the women's jelly is.
Speaker 1: Now that's right with us. So we're hustling. So it
Speaker 1: was always fucked up. It was always a new white
Speaker 1: person from some weird town that was entirely too big
Speaker 1: and too buff, always had something to prove, and you
Speaker 1: just gotta be like it was gonna be fucked up.
Speaker 1: It's like jail man. You see them and and they
Speaker 1: have no respect for you. And you can tell the
Speaker 1: ones that was prejudiced, they would do certain things two
Speaker 1: blacks and the ones that like the rotters, they you
Speaker 1: could kill what they were scared of, but they took
Speaker 1: the aggression out on that person. It's so many of you.
Speaker 1: You hit the police, shampon and the motherfucker kind of years.
Speaker 1: They look like they're coming out of walls, and so
Speaker 1: many of them but me. You know how you walk
Speaker 1: through child and ship and they get your apple on
Speaker 1: your trade and ship fruit. Your ain supposed to bring
Speaker 1: it back. So yeah, we're coming back and ship and
Speaker 1: oh bitch, ass uh what's his name? Raise uh whatever?
Speaker 1: This motherfucker put me out getting my apple and we're
Speaker 1: coming through these bars. They on this side in the
Speaker 1: gate where you closed the close the gates, walking past
Speaker 1: the motherfucker motherfucking through the apple, apple hit the bars,
Speaker 1: splashed on everybody, and it's like, you can't do ship
Speaker 1: to this motherfucker because you're in a losing battle. You
Speaker 1: can talk ship, you know what I'm saying. They started
Speaker 1: riots in there, you know what I'm saying, fucking with cats.
Speaker 1: What's the name from Bonnie Hunter? I don't want to
Speaker 1: put it mouth there, but he was on the phone
Speaker 1: talking to his people. I think it was his mama.
Speaker 1: They tell lehim me to get the off the phone.
Speaker 1: So he up there you talking about to get off
Speaker 1: the phone. I guess he didn't move fast enough. Motherfucker
Speaker 1: can't hung it up in front of my mom, big
Speaker 1: big man, not his ride. They had motherfucker's. They had
Speaker 1: had motherfucker's racking the gates, and they had these goddamn
Speaker 1: the witch coloms you lay on the match, and they
Speaker 1: had them all like this. They had motherfucker's the ones
Speaker 1: that was far into tears, like on Charlie Road, they
Speaker 1: dumping on him with the rubber bullets. They didn't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. And then they had motherfucker's coming through the
Speaker 1: whole motherfucker were the smokey and then they they got
Speaker 1: these things you gotta go around and go through the
Speaker 1: curves and ship. Then you got the the canines. They
Speaker 1: got the dogs barking in your motherfucking face, and then
Speaker 1: you got the police whacking your motherfucking ass, checking you
Speaker 1: all the way out through the hall, through the infirmary.
Speaker 1: Some other fucker's they didn't even take to the infirmary,
Speaker 1: and they was just like busted up, like like some
Speaker 1: of the homelies is really fucked up. But this is
Speaker 1: how they treat you. And then with the County gentlemantality,
Speaker 1: they put these motherfucker's on the streets, so they already
Speaker 1: feeling like they can fuck you like they did. Then.
Speaker 1: The only thing that saving the majority of us right
Speaker 1: now is it goddamn phone and people video and taping ship.
Speaker 1: And now they're cautious about beating the ship out after
Speaker 1: the don't tell me about Rodney King after that. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that I'm not I'm not ain't gonna right
Speaker 1: hit King. After that law enforcement learned that the ship
Speaker 1: that they were doing, it's not gonna be tolerated anymore,
Speaker 1: washing by by society. I mean, back then, everybody's turned
Speaker 1: their heads. You know, the juries, the judges, the d
Speaker 1: a s and all of that. But when they when
Speaker 1: no foe, cops got put on trial, and though they
Speaker 1: got to quit it when they got put on that trial,
Speaker 1: but then then they got they got indicted federally, but
Speaker 1: they were quitted at all state charges. Okay, but what cops.
Speaker 1: But my point no, No, the thing with the lesson.
Speaker 1: Once they saw that that that that people weren't tolerating
Speaker 1: that anymore, cops changed it. But they're still sucking up
Speaker 1: and up. But because I mean why they still nature
Speaker 1: it was? I mean, I've done it. After pursuit, you
Speaker 1: chase some niggers, you whoop the ass after that stopped.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna front on you because if I had
Speaker 1: to take some they got were already admitted this. Let me,
Speaker 1: I respect that you do all you motherfucker man. I'm
Speaker 1: talk police and you know this and you should know this.
Speaker 1: Good guy damn well everything and they can do in
Speaker 1: the street is just a vibe. And I'm talking about
Speaker 1: trying to if I got to run from you, because
Speaker 1: I'm sort of just fucking crack. You don't know what
Speaker 1: you're running into because there could be some motherfucker's on
Speaker 1: this other side of the wall to blow your brain
Speaker 1: of that job, ain't that motherfucker? And how many of
Speaker 1: these foot pursuits have ended up with and airing the
Speaker 1: dude out. I'm not saying you in the last five
Speaker 1: but down a totally different game. But I believe, but
Speaker 1: I believe this is the point, Like, if you from Compton,
Speaker 1: it's the way you're gonna treat him. If you're not
Speaker 1: from Compton, you might be scared or you might be
Speaker 1: mad that you don't like black people. In that goes
Speaker 1: to James point to two weeks ago Strangers on On
Speaker 1: on the Gangster Chronicles where you said that having the
Speaker 1: black cops, more black cops from the area conflict of course,
Speaker 1: that some of them gonna take you to jail, but
Speaker 1: some of them will give you breaks and they're definitely
Speaker 1: not gonna shoot you exactly. It's a formula. Man, If
Speaker 1: I respect you, you respect me by your person you
Speaker 1: respect me when you took off a n and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna because I am not, I am not to give here.
Speaker 1: If you want to do your job and change, you
Speaker 1: chase me. You know what I'm saying that still don't
Speaker 1: give you calls, just say you can whoop my a
Speaker 1: right because they will write a lot of them do
Speaker 1: the first thing they can do and it's justified. So
Speaker 1: she got a gun, you're gonna lose perfect a police
Speaker 1: supposed to think just like a human being. Not because
Speaker 1: you're wearing the beats and I'm not talking about nine
Speaker 1: would happen? Would you change about the ain't chasing nobody
Speaker 1: now three years if a motherfucker made me chase if
Speaker 1: if I had a kid and he made me chase
Speaker 1: him for some ship, I'm sucking him up. This right
Speaker 1: here goes out to every police. If you've ever been
Speaker 1: watching a police job, is to think a police job
Speaker 1: is understand Okay, it's whatever. That's why they're getting killed.
Speaker 1: But they ain't publicizing this ship, but the police. If
Speaker 1: my job is gonna be as easy as I can
Speaker 1: make it, I'm gonna be friend. I'm gonna talk to
Speaker 1: people and where people understand me and I understand them.
Speaker 1: I'm not. My job is not to make you afraid
Speaker 1: of me. You're supposed to trust me. I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: get out there, and I wouldn't give if he was fourteen.
Speaker 1: I'm not going because bye, I catch you some day,
Speaker 1: I see you again. Let him go. And I'm not
Speaker 1: having a motherfucker came because I think you got a
Speaker 1: ten dollar rock. And I'm damn sure ain't gonna kill
Speaker 1: a motherfucker because here on the color sh other cigarette,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of extra work. Come on, man, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lie. I had to tell you I'm sucking
Speaker 1: you up. So you can't be mad at the at you.
Speaker 1: You can't be mad at the cap if if if
Speaker 1: I mean a regular civilian, if you and he flipped
Speaker 1: your ass and bust your hear me out here, you
Speaker 1: out right now, hear me out if the police ever
Speaker 1: did something to me, if if it's a story glasses
Speaker 1: along get killed by police, you could bet your bottom
Speaker 1: dollar you can start sooner. I ain't did ship. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you somebody and shining of duty. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be cool because you know what, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: play with you. It's all the odds in your favor,
Speaker 1: feel me. So I'm gonna give you my license whatever.
Speaker 1: I gotta put my ham out the window. So something
Speaker 1: happened to me, y'all could rest as sure start getting
Speaker 1: a lawsuit together and we can. Nineteen now, we were
Speaker 1: lots smarter than everybody. Societies a lot only just kill
Speaker 1: the motherfucking when they want to. It just it all
Speaker 1: depends on straight sliding through you know. I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: just like this. It's a it's a lot of good
Speaker 1: motherfucking police officers retired and some on the fourth still.
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you mag Greg is one hundred to me.
Speaker 1: It's cool as your motherfucker, cool as the motherfucker. But
Speaker 1: do you know a lot of great history. They had
Speaker 1: a history too in the nineties about what beating up niggas.
Speaker 1: He got history that he ain't what you called, he
Speaker 1: ain't doing it. Now. That's my point, that's my point.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to make you well that now, then
Speaker 1: listen to different the quicker then it was easier to
Speaker 1: kill you back then. But they did whatever it was
Speaker 1: already they did. If the motherfucker's publicized how many motherfuckers
Speaker 1: that they were gonna do from they the police. One
Speaker 1: person from looters or mom that got killed by the police,
Speaker 1: and every child in the hood was quiet and nobody
Speaker 1: killing nobody. Somebody that see the block right well got
Speaker 1: killed by the pope. Was that if niggas ain't game
Speaker 1: and niggas ain't killing each other, the police killed somebody
Speaker 1: and came and told you don't kill them. Pulling up
Speaker 1: two thousand, I'm talking about the nineties and all of
Speaker 1: that that we're talking about the police, That's what I
Speaker 1: was talking about. They didn't we didn't have those types
Speaker 1: of shows. When you import the strength we both agree,
Speaker 1: when you import these strangers into the community. Cody, I
Speaker 1: can tell you a whole bunch because I don't think
Speaker 1: I don't think no brothers would have tripped off you,
Speaker 1: sag and to where they hit you with a bay.
Speaker 1: It wasn't about that he got hit with that because
Speaker 1: because he was on the car talking ship, molding and
Speaker 1: talking ship. That's why everybody Reggie hell yeah all the time.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm taking up my taking me to jail.
Speaker 1: Nothing day, y'allbody going, y'all better leave me that true story.
Speaker 1: Regiments come to my house. Regient come to my house
Speaker 1: and ship. We're partying, and uh, they tell me I
Speaker 1: gotta shut down, shutting down ship. Everybody in the back
Speaker 1: star the back, and I like the gate. So it
Speaker 1: was something I said something. So they want to take
Speaker 1: me to jail. So when I wants to get outside
Speaker 1: to the police car, they're telling me they're gonna take
Speaker 1: me to jail. No, y'all, Nate. So I'm dipped up
Speaker 1: and I'm standing by the fucking door of the car
Speaker 1: and they're trying to put me in there, trying to
Speaker 1: get my hands. I ain't I'm resisting, like, motherfucker, I
Speaker 1: ain't going nowhere. Chake me nowhere? And what the fund
Speaker 1: did I do? Behole here? Come to motherfucker from the
Speaker 1: back the other side of the police car, putting it
Speaker 1: on my motherfucking belt in my pants. So the motherfucker
Speaker 1: pulling and chugging. And when I meant to look to
Speaker 1: see him, motherfucking police pulling me like this, it's my
Speaker 1: brother bunching pulling me and helped him. Motherfucker's look, I
Speaker 1: didn't make everybody go to these to save me from
Speaker 1: getting a billy club. That's what he was doing that
Speaker 1: he wasn't trying to hurt him. He was saving it's
Speaker 1: ain't nuting. He used to be so fucked up, and
Speaker 1: well he wasn't fuck he wasn't keep ship that and
Speaker 1: people think, you know, we've been pumping it up and
Speaker 1: James was really that. He was telling all the ship
Speaker 1: that I've heard it's crazy. Yeah, uh uh. I was
Speaker 1: an alcoholic at one point and alcohol was was my
Speaker 1: my in between guy. I didn't have to be James.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be mob James. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to be him. I wanted to be that one that
Speaker 1: that that did what I did that night, and drinking
Speaker 1: allowed me to do that with with with with no filter.
Speaker 1: I didn't give a fuck who was In a way,
Speaker 1: I picked and chose. You know what I'm saying, who
Speaker 1: and whoever is gonna be? What was your dream? Uh?
Speaker 1: Eight English? And then when the sun going down Hennessy
Speaker 1: Vodka and Cranberry vodka, Jenness Supercarco way back then and
Speaker 1: from there it was over and I'm yeah and now
Speaker 1: I am ready to trip. I am ready to shoot something,
Speaker 1: I am ready to hear something. Let's roll read a
Speaker 1: lot of things after Reggie thinking him and had a
Speaker 1: good relationship. And then they knew how Reggie go there
Speaker 1: and deal with James, and he used to come every
Speaker 1: time something happened, he'd come over there. What the wrong
Speaker 1: with you? What? What? What? What? Don't give me that face,
Speaker 1: don't give me that bullshit? What the fun is wrong?
Speaker 1: If I get you a close over that goddamn long
Speaker 1: beach of wood, woo woo, if I hear you wood
Speaker 1: woo hey man, Reggie saying a brother asked many times
Speaker 1: and just in a in a in a spot our place,
Speaker 1: ready to do stupid ship, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And Reggie was more of like a father figure something
Speaker 1: I didn't have, you know, And you know this is
Speaker 1: a live dog they use. Um they were they had
Speaker 1: killing that lip dog and was taking them around making
Speaker 1: them point out everybody houses. These don't do some buddy hunters.
Speaker 1: I heard you told the story, but it was it's
Speaker 1: a little different. And the dudes was taking them around
Speaker 1: and he was pointing out everybody houses. And somehow Reggie
Speaker 1: Senior got the the information that the bunny Hunters was
Speaker 1: having in the van taking them around. He called somebody
Speaker 1: from over there, told you'll better bring that boy home
Speaker 1: and drop him off right now because they were gonna
Speaker 1: kill lip Dog. Little Dog has always told me, he said, man,
Speaker 1: your daddy saved my life. He made a call and
Speaker 1: they just dropped his ass off. That's was wrong. It
Speaker 1: is man and policing has changed. I don't think he'll
Speaker 1: ever go back to the don't have a choice. He
Speaker 1: was losing another these bunny hunters, these are in l A.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, but you know it was just because
Speaker 1: he you know, he grew up. He knew both of
Speaker 1: his MoMA is a good thing about because he grew
Speaker 1: up in the Imperial Court housing projects and and he
Speaker 1: just you know, they just come to my house all
Speaker 1: the time, dog and and just bother me. I ain't
Speaker 1: working with nobody. Think about if you always been, they
Speaker 1: could all kind of crazy ship. I mean that goes
Speaker 1: both ways. But but think about it now. At this point,
Speaker 1: you could say, somebody life because you didn't run into
Speaker 1: the room, you know what I mean. And that's what
Speaker 1: he's trying to do. I'm I'm no, that's the point
Speaker 1: that you alive now to really tell the life the
Speaker 1: life and the things that I chose to do and
Speaker 1: the things that I got away with um with being
Speaker 1: a gang member. It is fucking ridiculous. If you know,
Speaker 1: I can honestly say what I know now and if
Speaker 1: I can go back and do it, I do it
Speaker 1: all over again. Some things I won't take back because
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just me. But I would go
Speaker 1: back and change Damn there nine percent of my life,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because going back and looking
Speaker 1: at it, none of this ship that I did, none
Speaker 1: of the things that I took off this planet was
Speaker 1: worth it. You see what I'm saying and and being
Speaker 1: able to say, I changed from this, I changed from
Speaker 1: that to this. You know what I'm saying, Just a
Speaker 1: just a turnaround, and and now I'm trying to help.
Speaker 1: I want to help fix this. I want to be
Speaker 1: a part and have my hand in helping with this
Speaker 1: or this little kid or that little kid, or whatever
Speaker 1: the case might be. That's why I'm at right now today.
Speaker 1: So it's totally different from then because back then my
Speaker 1: life was self destruction, self destruction. It was just it's
