 Snoop is the absolute shit to me. Snoop is going to always be. Snoop got born all the time. Bro, he is the absolute end of the AC's more than rap. Really? He's been here through all these generations. He's been here all the time. He's born in the AC. That's not my word. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm saying I just grew up like him. Just to be clear. I got a little caught up, because you know I'm not sound, man. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, we going to talk. I got to ask you another question, because Boss will be upset. Boss told me when I'm sitting down with no limit people, make sure you ask him. Let's ask him, what did I bring to the table? What did they think of me? What did he brought to the table? Yeah, what did you think of him? When you think of Boss, what comes to mind? Man, man, man. Big Boss, shout out. Mr. Boswell brought to the table integrity. He brought another perspective of gangster. He heard me clean-cut gangster. He brought a gentleman. He brought class, you know what I'm saying? He was when Taylor made clothes then. I saw guys looking at him thinking that his clothes are a little too snug. I'm like, you don't really get that stuff, Taylor. It was fit for him. And that's what he brought. You heard me? And the wisdom, man. Boss told me stuff like, it stuck with me, bro. Man, Boss told me, say, Fene, you know, a good soldier prepares war during the time of peace. You heard me? He used to just be putting like, we used to have these one-on-ones. He used to just, man, he used to always keep it clean with me. And I think he got that, you heard me? Well, I'm from, I was taught to be a Hirana monster. Everybody can't just see you and know everything you've been through. You can't wear everything. You can scare people off, bro. You know what I'm saying? And for the fact that if you don't know me on a dark street, you shouldn't know me on a dark street. You feel me? So Boss brought that to me, and it was OK. He made it OK. When I turned in there's when there are family, Boss reached me a car magazine and told me to pick me something out of there. Wow, I mean, like I said, when we sit down and talk, I just know that's something. Every time I sit down with one of y'all, man, which one it is, I say, I gotta ask, man. I started with KAO, man. Even KAO, man, like when I was interviewing him in Baton Rouge, man, you were supposed to link. You know, he talk highly about you, man. Love you, bro. Like you got a lot of love around you. Hey, man, God, man, I've been so blessed. I've been preserving my whole life. That's why I don't want to. I don't want to play it off. I'm not brand preacher. Ain't no preacher. I'm a preacher. I just want to keep it funky with people. Like my brother passed away. My village took me under the wing. And I really believe to this day they preserve me like a protecting me from all the BS that I could have got into being miserable that my brother died and just sad and just down and out. And I think that I want to tell that because they may have some people be trying to help people and they may not be accepting the help. You hear me? I performed the American Music Awards, right? Now I have this Rolex, this Pavi dial, flush dial Rolex and Jubilee band. This is early, right? Biles looked at me and said, say, Fina. The other wrist looked a little drive, bro. He took off a Cuban link. I ain't never seen a Cuban link, all right? Cuban link. It looked like water was laying on his Cuban link, bro. You hear me? And I know his quality, his taste of things. It wasn't to be played with. He spent $30,000 for a bracelet. This was, I know how he was moving, you feel me? That boy took his bracelet out and said, say, Fina, put this on, you hear me? He said, ooh, ain't it fit? Yeah, man, go off that rocket. You hear me? Rocket did make it sit on for American Music Awards. I came back, like I was taught, I'm looking for bars to give him the bracelet. He looked at me and said, man, you did your damn thing, man. I said, man, take this goddamn bracelet, you hear me? He said, nah, baby, you keep that, you keep that, man. Wow, wow. And that's the type of gentleman, not to say that he had to give, I mean, he was already dropping gems on me. And I didn't take that for granted, bro. He was somebody special then, bro, to grow up in New Orleans and to be this type of a man, this type of individual, to carry his own persona of who he was. He was special then, bro. Wow, and I gotta ask you this, what did you think about Snoop when he came over to New Orleans? Snoop, first of all, Snoop is the reason I feel that I knew it was okay to get married and be here with my extraordinary, awesome wife, to know I could be married in hip hop. You know what I'm saying? I never would have thought I'd have got them lessons in hip hop, rap music. That's all. Snoop is the absolute shit to me. Snoop is gonna always be. Snoop is not born all the time. Bro, he is the absolute endo. He's more than rap, for real? He's been here through all these generations. And he's been here, and he's been here. He wouldn't have done that. That's not mama, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm saying that I live, I'm saying that I just grew up like. Just to be clear. I gotta look all up, cause you know I'm in the style, man. Nah, just to be clear. I'm in the style, man. I'm in the style, baby. I ain't gonna play with y'all in there, don't do that. I'm in the style, man. Just to be clear, he's bigger than rap. Yeah, he bigger than rap. I agree with that. Yeah, I agree with that. No, no, yeah. I'm saying that. I don't know. He's bigger than the conversation of lyrics. I wanna tell you, he had, he snooped overstood the concept of business, and that is something to praise him for. I know a lot of people that's cold as fuck, and they don't have their business in order. So I wanna commend him for being an example of being cold, but knowing how to balance these things out, bro. Who have you seen in your life outside your household, your block, your neighborhood, politicians-wise, that has been living his life in front of the camera all these years, unapologetically, and him, point somebody to me. And you have to point back to Shnoop. Married, children, court, murder cases. Uh, uh, uh. Cost of youth kings. Come on, bro, we can go on and on. He has been selfless, he has been selfless, bro, and he is so big. He's the Barry Gordy of hip-hop on the West Coast. A lot of people, I don't know, like from the 52 70, brought him out to his house. Man, this guy, he's his whole family. It's like he opened them welcome rooms like this. Hey, bro, praise and abundance to Snoop Dogg, his wife, his family. Come on, bro, it is not easy to live in front of camera. I gotta come clean with you, man. And to keep it clean. Come on, remember, keep it clean, bro. The camera's always running, bro. It ain't easy, man. Like this is before the clicks was about my life, your entertainment. Let's keep it funky, bro. He's always lived in front of the camera. He's always was a pop star. Ever since Drake decided to put him on Deep Cover. No, no, he definitely one of those guys, man. And it is not easy being in front of the camera, you know, like when I interviewed Ice T, that was one of the things that he talked about. You know what I mean? Just that they would, that there's always a plot that people would love to see him, you know what I mean? See him be taken down. That's what I, he say he did that cop killer and to change it over and be able to transform and still be getting money and knew all those people and came from the streets like he did. They would love to bring him down off there. Shout out to Bumbi. Shout out to Ice T. Shout out to E40. That's what I'm trying to say. If we, if our community don't acknowledge this, you know, go buy you some Snoop Dogg cereal. Go buy you some Snoop Dogg masterpiece cereal. Go buy you some E40, the wines, the noodles, whatever he got going on. Go support what I'm trying to tell you. It's like these people are living fearlessly in a world that where it is set up and designed for them to lose. What you just said is real talk. That's what I want to tell you fam. That's what I'm trying to tell you. So when you come outside your house, you got to be ready for whatever. My life, you're entertainment. There's a consumer for everything. If it's about somebody's brains being put on the concrete, there's a consumer for that. There's somebody home clicking talking about, oh, I just love to see me some brains on the ground. You know what I'm saying? And that is the world we live in. That's why I stay to myself, man. Cause I don't want to put this on my kids, my wife. I've been blessed to, to get to another aspect of what my spiritual footsteps are bigger than whatever I done yesterday. So I like to keep it clean. That's not me. I'm not making nobody, you know what I'm saying? But I got to keep it clean. I know that the cameras are always rolling. So I always put it out there. So you know that those options do exist. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. One on one. Yeah, we gon' talk.
