A jeweler dropped in my lap, man, famous animal TV is in the building. Let's go! Man, how you doing, man? I'm blessed. Man, I know it, I see it all over you, nigga. Yo, jump out. Real talk. Man, I mean, man, we gon' get all the way into your story, man, because our people want to know who you are, man. A lot of people have seen your grime, man, and it's time to, you know, we out to show homage, man, to my boy, man, famous animal TV. What's up, baby? Real talk, man. Okay, you know, okay, everybody love the music, everybody love all of that, but I love to get to know people as the person. You know what I mean? Because you have all these celebrities and all of that. I don't care about all of that. I want to know about you growing up, what you had to go through, all of that. So where are you from? I'm from... I was born in California. What? I was born in San Diego, California. Oh, I love San Diego. We love San Diego, boy, we be up there. Let me tell you, their beaches are so beautiful. L.A. have nothing on San Diego. See, I ain't get the experience. You got to go back. I left when I was like two. You got to go back. You grown now. Why you haven't been back? Yeah. Because I'm sure you have family. You have family out there? No. My family from Memphis or like Jersey. So then how did you end up being born out there? My dad, he was like in the military. Yeah, the naval base, the naval base out there. He was able to, when he came home from the military, he was able to live in certain areas and things like that. So who was able to live in a good little environment for a little minute until my mom and my dad separated. When you was two? Around like one or two, y'all. But your dad stayed in your life? No, not really. Not really, because I ain't seen my daddy. I mean, they said the last time he was around, probably when I was like seven. But you don't remember that? I don't remember that. You know what I'm saying? Then I ain't heard from him until probably like, probably like three, four years ago, four, five years ago, he had passed away. Wow. And I like, well, so crying, I ain't heard from my daddy for like 10, 15 years. Plus I ain't seen to hear from him. And then the day I talked to him was the day people were saying like he's been a pass away. He asked to talk to you? How did, yeah, how did that call come about? It was like having the same last name on Facebook and some family members reached out like, man, y'all, man, we know y'all, we our father, he's sick, he's about to pass away and things like that. And my sister was like, can we at least talk to him? Can we, you know what I'm saying? That's your sister's father too? Yeah, I got three sisters one brother. By the same father? Yeah, same father. Yeah, so he was like, he was like, man, your father's about to pass away. He's sick. We were like, man, let's talk to him. We call him. It was a crazy conversation. Because after all these years of not talking to your dad and when you get on the phone with your dad, he's like, hey, what's up son? I'm like, hey, I just got some things to ask you. You know what I'm saying? And whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. Because I didn't know if that was for real about him passing or not, I just really wanted to know. I asked him two questions. I asked like, God, what you believe in? And this is going to sound crazy. And I asked him, have he ever killed somebody before? And like, you know what I'm saying? I feel like he was still a good person after this type of shit. And he was just more like, son, I want to get into that. You know what I'm saying? But I believe in Muslim, you know, things like that. And he was like, man, son, I have to call you back. I don't feel good. Wow. And that was the last time you spoke to him? That's the last time I spoke to him. He died probably like a week or two later after that. Oh, that's crazy, man. At least you got to talk to him, though. At least you got to speak to him. But how did you feel after that? How was your mental state? And did your other siblings get to talk to him as well? It was just kind of fucked up on the situation because I hadn't heard it from all these years. Getting in touch with your dad and finally getting in touch with him, can't talk to him, you know, ask him two questions and he got the phone. I was like, okay, I know it's serious in there. Because like, I know he want to talk to his kids, too. But if he in the condition to where he can't talk, then I know it's serious, you know what I'm saying? So it was just a back and forth, you know. A lot of things kind of got messy. Because like, you know, like, why you ain't been telling us? But they couldn't been contact us because I didn't know who it was. Okay. That's what I was wondering. And then did your mom know where they were and could have, you know, done that connection? She can guess. You know what I'm saying? Or guess where, you know, his family and stuff. But when you're military, you move around a lot. But then if they're, they've been together while she would have known where his family was. Because that's where the stationary people work. She just knew Jersey City, basically. Oh, okay. So did you get to meet his side of the family eventually? Facebook-wise. Facebook-wise. Okay, but not face-to-face. Face-to-face. Now I've been in the Carolina's and Jersey's and they've been reaching out. Oh, man, you stop doing that. Oh, they know you now. They know you now. Oh, they know you now. They know the sound. I just, I enjoy the fact that you got, you know, you got to talk to your father. You know, you know, a lot of times, man, it's the toughest thing is for a man to, they call us cavemen a lot of times because we, we, we bottle up, we hold things in. A lot of times men, we, especially black men, you know, it's something about us opening up and father-in-sum relationship is tougher than anything. You got any kids now? You got a little boy. So there you go. You got to stay focused, man. I got a 15-year-old and I ain't going to tell you all that other niggas are going to call you. The niggas are going to call you old as hell, boy. Yeah. They're going to be like, that niggas, he got a five-year-old. He need to be in the old folks' home or something. The nurse home right in his home. But now I just, you know, when I, when I think about you, man, and what you've accomplished in this time that you, you've come across my screen, man. Appreciate it, man. Appreciate you for reaching out to our people, man. You know, we are the, we are black news. We are black informational guides. Shout out, Mr. Servon. We are the ones who are creating a narrative for our people now. So for you to be doing that and being consistent in it, because people don't realize how tough it is to be consistent at something, I think that's to be applauded. I appreciate it. So, man, keep doing your thing, man. I can, oh, go ahead, I can keep going. You know that. I know that, but I just want you to get into that because I know you're trying to get into that. But out of curiosity, why were those two questions the only two questions you asked? Because I done been doing some stuff and then like, I figured that's why. I done been doing some stuff and then just growing up, you know. But hold on, stop before you say anything else. The first question you asked him. We believe it. And if you had killed somebody. Have you ever killed somebody? Do you feel like you'll be forgiven really what you want to know? How do you feel about that question personally for you? I feel like everybody can be forgiven for doing something, you know. You know, it just depends on how you're doing it, what you're doing, the fun things like that. Everybody can be forgiven. Everybody did make mistakes. Everybody made mistakes before and things like that. So I just, you know. And what do you believe in? I believe in the Creator. You know, I don't believe in no Christian or Muslim. I believe in the Creator. I believe in energy. I believe in my intuition, like my inner, you know, my gut don't feel good about it. Everybody's doing it, you know. My mind tell me go make a left instead of right. I'm gonna make the left. Gotta listen to it. My first mind. Every time I have one with my second mind, I always been a mess up, you know. I should have went to the house first. I should have dropped these off first. I should have, okay. And don't regret anything you've ever been through in your life. Exactly. Because everything is a learning lesson. It brought you to where you are today. Exactly. And you come in contact with so many people where even off camera, I know you be talking to a lot of people who you come in contact with. They can learn from what you've been through. You know what I mean? And if you didn't go through things in your younger youth, you wouldn't be able to advise some people that you come in contact with. Some of these young kids who are going down the wrong path. You understand what I mean? Thank you so much, Mr. Maker. You did your thing. You gave him a hell of a run right there. Go ahead. Yeah, let's go. Let me hear that chant once more. There it is. That's what I'm gonna get into right now, Diggle. That's it right there, man. You live in Memphis now? Yeah, I live in Memphis. What part of Memphis? You know, I've been out in Tunica. You know, I'm out there shooting the dice and everything. And Mr. Sip, I want to know. I don't just... You all over the place. I stayed in the outskirts of Memphis, but my building is in Memphis in White Haven area. Okay, that's hard, man. How did you first get into this? Because you've been in it for a while. Yeah, I got into it, bro. Everything from the streets. Everything from the streets. Growing up in the streets. Learning from the streets. You know, the lessons from the streets. Learning, you know. Man, the things I learned from the streets, I just learned how to turn it and use it into a business expectation, man. You know, like, as far as the hustle, the grind, things like that. You know, if you're gonna stay out on the block all day and serve, you know, things, man, you can get on the internet and sell things and that. You know what I'm saying? So I'm gonna treat the... I'm gonna treat whatever I do just like the streets. I'm gonna break it down. You know, a lot of cats ain't even been in the streets to know how to treat it like the streets, you know. When you come from nothing, when you've been through the trenches, you understand how to maneuver in your world. Because a lot of people don't understand your world because they could never live in your world. I think a lot of times we get people too much credit. We be trying to bring people to our level when they're not even there. Yeah. Am I right? So you expect people to do what you would have done when they don't understand you from a man in the moon. Am I right? Yeah. We put a lot on people. We believe... Oh, yeah, he gonna come like you said. No, he not. That nigga's morals is not on your level. Yeah. So let's... Go ahead. No, but famous... Well, famous... Or Animal TV. When I Google Animal TV, I'm seeing some other shows on Google, but when I YouTube it, you're the first one pop up. Yeah. But why that name? Streets. I know you say like streets, but... Who called you animal? Was the first person... No, no, no. It's always that one person who first called you that name before everybody else started. Yeah, one of the... One of the older guys on the block... And why did he call you animal? Because you was that much of an animal, really when you were young? Yeah, I was bad. You was that bad? I was bad. I was like... I was bad. I ain't gonna say I was... How old were you when you got this name when you was that bad? I was like 12, 11, 12. No. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh. How you talk to your mama? Gang banging. You know. And you was an animal at 12? At 12, yeah. Putting it down. I had just learned a lot of things growing up early, and I seen how hard it was on my mother. So it was like, man, I gotta get out here and help, you know. And I hear a lot of people say that. And being a mom, it worries me because I look at anybody on that seat. I know I'm not that old, but I look at everybody as my kids. So at the same time, it's like, as a parent, you're going out here to help your mom, but you're putting her through worries, really. Exactly. I don't put more stress on her. But you think you're helping, but how can you think that way as a child? It was more like... When I was younger, I used to go breaking houses. You know what I'm saying? I used to breaking houses, but when I used to breaking houses, I wasn't doing it to be cool to get some status in a gang. I did it when I came home. I made sure food was on the table. I made sure my little sister in them had new shoes and stuff. I was doing this at 11 and 12. I was thinking like this at 11 and 12, like, man, I ain't going to do this and go smoke. We're going to hang out now. I'm going to make sure my sister in them got some... Even if I dropped out of school, so it was more like, man, at least my sister in them couldn't go to school fresh. And you did drop out? Yeah, I dropped out. Yeah, I dropped out of school. Yeah, yeah. But I... I wouldn't get my GED later in life because I just felt it though. At least you're going to get some, you know? And I feel like I knew I can do it, so I wouldn't get it. But, um, yeah, growing up, it was hard on my mama, so every time I left the house, I would go do something. She cried. Of course. Because she knew I was going to do something that she didn't want me to do, like, regardless. And you might not come back. You know? Is that too, you know? That's the part. And a lot of stuff, like, I got caught, police caught, breaking the house. And my mama was... I ain't going to say she was familiar or let me do that. It's like she really couldn't do nothing, you know what I'm saying? She had to send me to foster home and all that, but the streets had got me there. You know what I'm saying? I get it. My mom used to try to do something, but it wasn't the same as when your dad would speak to you or something. Or something like that. So it's a whole different level. Yeah. I was going to ask you about just the music. When I asked you, you know, how did you end up even getting into music or into being into media? The streets. Okay. Now, let me ask you this. When did you first pick up a camera or get behind a camera? March the... March the 3rd, 2017. Okay, that. Okay. I went to the punch. I had like four, five hundred dollars. I spent three hundred on the camera. I had like a hundred and some dollars left. I ain't... Bills would do everything. You put it all out there. I just knew, like, man, this was the star. When I bought that camera, my vision was just to go around and interview people in the streets of Memphis to get their side of the story. Like what Memphis like. And when I did it, I went to interview the top niggas in the streets. Who was that? One of your first interviews. One that meant the most to you. That stuck out the most. It was more like the big motor. The big motor? Rich Lord. Rich Lord. Yes, they nice was big in the streets. In the streets. You know what I'm saying? So when I want to interview them, the views, the first day, a hundred, two hundred thousand. Which one was your most viral, since you've been doing this, all together, your most viral video? The one that went the craziest. So freestyle? Freestyle. Freestyle. Freestyle? Yeah, it's hard to say. Cause I done did million plus on Facebook. I did million plus on... Who was the one that sticks out? You got to give it up. Lil Socky. Lil Socky went hard. Lil Socky, he snout. Why? He said why? Yeah, why? Why did you think that would go with the most? Right. You never know. I tried to figure that out. Do you ever know why? Why? He's went more viral than anybody else. She was wrong. She's hard. Now he, she did like a meeting with someone on YouTube. But I got other people who she did it 1.3 on Facebook. 1.2 on Facebook. But let me ask you a question. For it to go hard, does it depend on the person who is rapping it or what you're saying? I don't know what you're saying. And then it depends on everything because like a person, you can be a more focused and up here snag a tooth, ugly looking, but be saying some hard shit. And they can be like, oh, that nigga hard, but it's probably like, oh, they'll judge him. So they probably be like, oh, that nigga ugly as hell or they'll say it's hard. So it's like, yeah, the image, the image matter, the shit you saying matter, you know, and, um, shit, rapping about some shit, you ain't about it. Everything matter when it comes to like this rap shit. Because people got to relate to it. Thanks. That's the main thing. So I'm going to relate to it, but then I know you in the streets and I know you a sucker, you a bustler. So as I heard, it can be hard. I didn't even a sucker. He a bustler because, you know, so it's like, yeah, all that matter. Okay. Thanks. Yeah. So, um, what do you, uh, what do you, how do you pick who you going to bring on your show? Man, um, right now, bro, I don't, I don't pick they, they call me, they call my booking line, you know, book, book, things like that. So, so you got, you don't have nobody that's out there that you be like, I see, I found them. I'm going to get it. I go to is more like, um, I see that go to, I try to go into the hoods and see who really work. Yeah, who around her worker, who hard, I ask for no handout. Okay, cool. Listen, bro, I want to put them on the show. I ain't charged them nothing. Cause he hard, cause he hard he working and I can see it in them. You know what I'm saying? I know this can charge somebody life. So look, come here, bro. Let's do it. And once you do that, it's up. It's up. You know, listen, man, I ain't going to lie to you, man. And, and, and you, you could tell them, you know what? Yeah. Why the boss is tall. Come on. And when I've had people to come through, they see what I'm doing. You know, I'm saying they can try to sauce up. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, I enjoy it because I know already that this thing here can go either way. You know, um, I see rap economics. They look a lot like you. This, uh, it's out of Houston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all linked or is that some type of way y'all hot? Do you know them? No, I don't know them. Y'all? I don't know them at all. You know what I'm saying? I don't know them at all. Never heard of, had never followed them. They followed you. Rich, I teach y'all. Ain't nobody ever told you that? Y'all got similar? Y'all got similar? Now, when they, uh, one day somebody had something like, bro trying to copy you, you know what I'm saying? She like that, you know what I'm saying? So what I want to look, they don't like that. I thought y'all was linked together or maybe knew each other. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm starting bro like, I mean people are going to try to copy you, you know what I'm saying? They're going to try to do what you do, cause you're inspiring, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like if you ain't inspiring and motivating people, like what you doing? You know, and I say that because I seen that. I came up quick. Yeah. I ain't been doing this but right at two years. You know what I'm saying? Do you know what I'm saying? It wasn't nothing like this. It wasn't nothing like this. You see what's going on. And they were like oh that nicks are hard on it and I get it. But then, I seen some mothers that came and they started, the videos off like my doing, saying the things that I say, you know, I'm that check it man. You know, you can't mimic certain things, you know what I'm saying? And what God has for you is yours, it can't nobody take that away from you. So, you know, like I said, I look like I said, when I see the certain thing, cause they going hard, I think I seen Flip on there, I think I seen Boosie Daughter. I think that's the one, Boosie Daughter, that's the gentleman. And you did Boosie Daughter, right? Oh no, you ain't done her yet? Okay. Would you ever do them? Do her? Cause you and Memphis, you are the talent at though, man. Listen man, Memphis kind of running the game a lot of time right now. People don't want to give them their credit man. So do you, did you ever rock with Dolph? You know, you been around a long time. Yeah, I never met Dolph person. I never met Dolph person. Did you rock with any music or anything? Hell yeah. I'm gonna get the money. Fuck with Dolph music. Yeah, it's hard. What about Key Glock? Man, you got a lot of people down there. Man, Poo Shice was going in before you got locked up. Yeah, Poo Shice is a big thing. I don't fuck with a lot of them artists, but Folder fame. Folder fame. I don't talk about Blockboy, Gorilla, Glossop, Poo Shice. You rock with Gorilla too? Yeah, come on, never. Folder fame, she come to my showcases, Freestyle, like, but Folder fame. Do you still talk to her now or y'all don't even communicate? Yeah, little inboxes, you know, inbox here and there. We follow each other, things like that. That's hard. Yeah, but I don't understand if she beads on beads, or any more, like, no buddy, buddy, she like, damn, what you doing? Every day you tell her shit, but nah, like, it's love. That's love just to be to make those connections. A lot of people don't understand how important that is. Relationships is very important. Very important. You know, who would you say stands out when it comes down and when you need to get a refresher, talk to somebody, like, man, I pick up a phone and I call such and such so they're gonna give me something that's real to think about. I call one of my business partners. Okay, okay. You know what I'm saying? Somebody I met along the road and we linked ever since and there's somebody I might be able to talk to and, you know, he keep me uplifted, he tell me, you know, he just keep me motivated and keep me on the positive side, you know. Yeah, I had another song. I had my little intro song we done. I feel like you listen to it and see what you thought about it. Yeah. You seen that other one whole. Yeah, that's hard. I wish. I wish. That's so music, man. But I wish it was. I got another one. I was like, man, I gotta let my boy listen to it. He know music. Yeah. And I don't even see the... I don't go on my... Oh, you sent me the deal. Look on my notes. I sent you. I'm trying to get this song put up. Okay. I'm trying to get out of here. I see you looking at your clock and all that. Your clock ticking. Yeah, yeah. Jump out. I had some set up. I got some freestyle. You always got something going, man. What make you jump around in Texas like this? I can't say nothing. I be in LA. I be everywhere. They support me, bro. So Texas is one of those places where it's sticking up for you. They support me. They believe in it. They respect it. They ask for no hand out. They come and correct. Shit. I fuck with them too. So that's her. That's hard, man. That's hard, man. So how many artists after being on your platform actually got a record deal? Do you know? I can now you over 20, 30 artists that got deals off my show. Really? Dang. Off a freestyle. I can tell you. I can now you. Stop playing, man. Okay, so every artist that come on my show now, getting offers. If you're shit hard. You're shit hard. You come across my show. Somebody going to reach out to you versus independent record label in the hood or it's a major record label. That's big. They reaching out and signing these artists. How did it make you feel to be a part of that process? I'm trying to people life. That's hard. I'm trying to people life. So every day I wake up, I'm trying to somebody live, especially when I come out here. I'm like, ah, you up and change. You're like, watch when I post this and go crazy. And I'm like, well, you said it. Yeah. You know. But then we're doing that. A lot of times, what is your next level? Because you're changing people's life. And that when you're passing them along to somebody else, how can you and do you want to do a record label for yourself eventually? Yeah, we got some negotiations on the time. You understand what I mean? Because you can only want to pass on people or blow people up in that form where you're not going to get nothing from it. After a while, you want to build something for yourself. Yeah. A lot of the artists I'm working with now, I'm able to get percentages and things like that. Okay. Yeah. I'm able to work in a negotiation. That's hard. With the record label stuff. A label is trying to give me the start. A major label is trying to give me the start of label partnership with them. That would be dope. You know, I just say, man. But the number has got to be right. Yeah. You're going to be right because as an independent person, I'm able to be happy with what I got. It's like, man, I wake up and go to sleep when I want to. You know what I'm saying? So it's more like just even having it, you know, ownership is more like, man, I'm happy with what I got. Y'all come with it or not, man. I'm good. But you have partners in your business, right? Oh. Or is it 100% yours? 100% mine. 100% everything. You're acting like me? You're acting like me over there, boy. I take the bookings, answer the phone calls, press record on the camera, say let's go be the hype, man. You know, have a conversation, everything. You know what I'm saying? So like from setting up the equipment to breaking it down, you know, just driving eight, ten hours. You know. I tell people that all the time because so many people ask us how can we do what you're doing because so many people jumping up trying to do podcasts and stuff like that. So the first of all, stop trying to hire all these people to do something because you too lazy to learn how to do it. Yeah. It is a lot of work. I'm not going live. Yeah. Every aspect of this job, for the main reason that somebody piss you off and they leave you. They quit. Your whole thing ain't just falling apart. You know exactly how to keep it going. When I started my business, I was like, man, okay, cool. I'm going to do this. I'm going to run my whole business top to bottom. I've been running my whole business six years myself independently. Famous album. Famous album. I'm going to be honest with you. That's hard. I don't mean it's hard because we do it. Yeah. We do it. You ain't playing no games. Are you editing yourself for everything? And then everything. Go hard. That's why you sitting there seeing my son knew it. He must have knew something. And then trying to find the art out. You go hard, bro. Famous Animal TV. Let me ask you this, man. Like what do you want to take it to? Do you want to make it something like Revolt or somebody? You know what I'm saying? Do you want to rock out? Do you want to make the platform bigger or what? Of course I'm aiming to bigger. I'm not saying I'm aiming to be like them or nothing like that. But of course I'm going bigger with it. You know, TV shows, movies. People like my personality. So of course, man, I got a lot of things in motion. I don't like to talk about it. I like to show people. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to show you what I'm going to do because it's more like, once you do that, okay. There ain't no choice but to believe. Famous. I know the question. So with you being from Memphis, what is your, do you have any relations with CMG? CMG. I fuck with, like, so it's more like, I fuck with whoever I want to fuck with. You know what I'm saying? I grew up with Money Bag. Y'all count. You know what I'm saying? Some people in his count. Kyle State and Walk of Home, eight years. You know what I'm saying? But I grew up in other parts of South Memphis, too. So I grew up around a part of Black Youngster, a part of the neighborhood. I know a lot of people who Black Youngster grew up with, over him and things like that. Douth area, like my brother got to meet Douth. My brother be, you know, over there in Douth neighborhood, kind of and stuff like that. So it was more like, you know, I got a relationship with both sides. So you never feel like there was any pressure that you have to, if you talk, yeah. It was, it was more of a pressure because like people thought I was picking the side or trying to claim I'm a brother on that side or he claiming that side. Nah, I'm famous out on TV. That's why I went about my own time. I didn't want, cause like, it's more like, if somebody come get you a CMG, you trying, yeah bro, you the guy ain't that. Okay, I don't CMG. If I get a paper out, I'm paper out. So it's more like, if you get a tag, I pick a tag. You know what I'm saying? Right. I'm building my company up. I know by the game, you a dollar. But you know how it is, especially when you're in this game, if you have too many of people on one side on your show, then they feel like you're with... They'll assume. They'll assume. But I didn't put it down and stamped it to work. I ain't know what's on. Y'all know how I'm coming. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm in the middle of the trenches when I build it every day. You know what I'm saying? Man, if somebody gonna be pulling up, doing anything, it ain't gonna be because of some ID. You know what I'm saying? And I ain't doing nothing but showing love. So I'm good. You know what I'm saying? That's what I like. What do you see that, cause we all look at other platforms and we see how the podcasting and it's been the new radio shows. This is what the new media is. Do you think that there's anything lacking from podcasting today? Lacking, lacking, far... Far is like... Some people say, well, a lot of these shows are too negative. They don't have enough positivity. Some people say there's all different sort of stuff. Do you think that there is something that they could do to make... to do better? I'm gonna say keep going. That's the only way you can get better if you keep going. I agree with that. A lot of people say, practice make perfect. Practice don't make perfect because every time you practice on doing it, you're gonna get it better and better. So if you did it good this time, how can you call it perfect when you do it the next time you got it better? So, you know, keep going. What do you think when you see Big Scar had passed? It was sad. It was sad. Cause Memphis don't mind, we putting it down, you know what I'm saying? And he young. So like coming to gang young, doing his turn, he bringing more money to the city. He able to support, you know, his family, his friends, his side of the town. So, like, he changing people's lives, too. You know what I'm saying? He taking care of people. He feeding his family. So for him to pass, I thought about his family. And look at all the people that was kind of eating off that, you know what I'm saying? That situation. So, like, a certain people got to probably wake up tomorrow and figure out how they're gonna pay his rent because the brother paid. So what about the, the fitting all, you know, speculations of different artists that are passing from Gangstaboo and all these different people? Perks and all that. Yeah. What do you think about that? I mean, I don't, I can't think nothing of it because it's the streets, you know? Like I grew up around, you know, I don't condom in nothing. I might smoke in, you know, a little bit, but I don't condom in nothing else other than it. You know what I'm saying? Because I done seen what it is indeed. I done seen the damages that's been caused, you know what I'm saying? I don't know nobody who just woke up and said, But even nowadays, they still mixing stuff in weed too. So you got to be careful on who and what you buying. I've been smoking weed since I was 21 or 11 so it was more like... Since Animal got creative. Yeah, I done studied the weed. So like, like people don't know like if you smoking in your ashes, black and trying different colors, man, it's bad weed. You know what I'm saying? Dirty, you know what I'm saying? You gotta know when you smoking clean weed, you know what I'm saying? Oh really? Yeah. But at that point, you done already smoking to find that out. So that's what I'm saying? You gotta know, I'm like, okay, this... Okay, it's... Can you know by smell? Is it bad or not? Man, you can kinda look at it and see, you know, it be trash, lint, all type of, you know what I'm saying? Then you gotta know who you getting it with, you know? How about go to the dispensary or something like that because you know, anything happen, they didn't even learn. It's a lie, oh boy. Let me ask you this. Do you, when you think about the freestyles, you know what I'm saying? Do you, you see the... I talked to, what's that boy name, the one from Philadelphia, the one that, you know, I'm a big fan of yours too and can't even think of his name. The little nigga that was going against Meek Meals, what was his name? Six in the morning, that nigga there, what was his name? You're a younger nigga too, so you folks know it. You know how he's supposed to know this. Man, and that said, I can't remember how to think of it, but at any rate, just freestyling, the way they battle rap versus the way you doing now, you like the way you doing it, do you like that battle rap style? I used to, I used to watch battle rap. That's what I'm asking you, because I'm, you don't know the, it's not... Dang it. Boy, you show got me thinking about it. I used to watch a little battle rap. Them boys used to battle rap hard too. They go back and forth, man. You know what I'm saying? Arsenal. Arsenal, and you getting close, what's that little shot with name, the one I always hit? Hitman, how long? Hitman go hard too. But I'm just saying, versus the way you doing, dropping these bars and these freestyles, these adequate freestyles, she gets upset with some of these people that come in here, that got pre-stage rhymes, and she'd be like, man, that ain't no freestyle. Could you do it from the dome? Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of people be saying like, man, that ain't no freestyle, this and that, but I understand music now, and I understand creation, you know what I'm saying? It didn't come out of freestyle, it was like, man, off the top of the dome. That's what I think it is. Okay. It's supposed to be. So, the first thing you do off the top of your dome is freestyle. Even when you're building a table, you know what I'm saying? The mindset, the path you're going, it's being freestyle because it's your thought, you know? So if you think of something, you write it down, it's just you pre-wrote down. You're prepared. You're prepared, you know what I'm saying? So it's more like, you know, if it's something you've written, if you say it versus hearing a song, I think it's he freestyle the lyrics that he had already. Do you think a person is more talented if they freestyle something straight off the dome and you know it's straight off the dome because the things that they're talking about is like right around you compared to somebody who prepared it like the morning before then came and freestyled it? Oh, I'm going to say this. I know people who can freestyle off the top of their dome and hit pinpoint stuff, but it seemed like the artists who kind of go structured make it farther. What about the young Cassidy, who was I thinking about? You know, Cassidy used to... That's the one. That's the one I was talking about. He's going to listen to him now. He's hard, but it's like, okay, you got somebody to come out like, I ain't saying NBA young boy write this shit or nothing. You got NBA young boy. Structure. You're talking about the structure. It's more structure, so it's like, you know, look where it's at now. Man, I said I was going to play this. I'm going to get you out of here. I see you look at you. I got to go. Do I have them? Yeah. You got to tell me what I want. I had them. Let's go. The new one. Let's go. Yeah, we on Boss Talks TV. Shout out to Ihi. The reason you see me. We doing numbers. Y'all looking Pee Wee.

Do anybody ever go down there and eat or anything? Bitch, y'all must still go. They still go. Sometimes it'll pop off. Like, you don't, like, we get the word around, hey, everybody on Beale, hey, everybody on Beale. And then people will ride out. I don't see that.
