I think I'm Big Meats and I think I'm Larry Hoover and that that made me reflect back to it to be honest with you like wow you know but when they when he did it it was not in a like it was a thing of braggadocious hey man you know what I'm saying this is something I represent and this is about the streets is the way I've seen it. How was how did you how did you deal with that when it first happened because you now just hear your father's name broadcast like that right what what did you think where were your what was your mind and where were you when you first heard the song did you know about the song coming out before it actually hit the waves no I didn't they didn't reach out to us before they did the song I think my son

that the people uh the young people everybody knew about him you know what I mean for us it was even years back when things might have seemed to be somewhat going doormat Rick Ross come up with this song I think I'm Big Meats and I think I'm Larry Hoover and that what that made me reflect back to it to be honest with you like wow you know but when they when he did it it was not in a like it was a thing of braggadocious hey man you know what I'm saying this is something I represent and this is about the streets is where I've seen it how was how did you how did you deal with that when it first happened because you now just hear your father's name broadcast like that right what what did you think where were you what was your mind and where were you when you first heard the song did you know about the song coming out before it actually hit the waves no I didn't we were they didn't reach out to us before they did the song I think my son might have told me about the song because he was a little guy and he could he heard his name because his name after me so he like they saved my name they saved my name you know and you know I just listened to it but um when the song was released see a lot of people don't really know about my father they know about the legend of Larry Hoover you know the legend that grew through the media and some of the people in the streets so for them to speak off the legend Larry Hoover and not Larry Hoover a man who's still alive a man that's fighting for his life you know it you know I mean it's a rough situation he's if he's fighting for his life and you referring to him as a person that that's dead if he was dead or you know had just a life sentence and there was no more fight to be there I mean I guess you could say whatever but for somebody that's actually alive and still fighting and trying to come home and to you know glorify him as king drug lord you know I mean that ain't that that wasn't really a good thing I mean we we've done in past that at this point it did like you say put his name back out there in the world so I could appreciate that it just wasn't the best light to put his name wasn't the best light to put it in especially what you guys trying to figure out ways to show people who he is now right well even even then he had had the federal case at that point in time like the the positive things that he was doing in the community like trying to awake the sleeping giant trying to get youth to vote trying to um you know the guys that called rapists in the community you know marched and shut down city halls shut down the stock market you know I mean marched to make sure that medical centers wouldn't get enclosed in the communities certain schools like he was using the his influence to do positive things you know he came from a background in the streets he was poor he grew up like a lot of um young black people to come in they grew up in impoverished communities and what he seemed for opportunity was the same thing a lot of these young men see what opportunities but as time went on he seemed to he had influence and he wanted to use his influence in a positive way and he was doing that but you know he gets no credit for that he gets the credit for the part where he tore down some of his community which he's guilty of some of that but he also was trying to make changes and do a lot of things for the better of his community but you know in life the way how reality is it's you could do a million good things but just do one bad thing and it's like they can never forget that or they can never forget is like it outweighs all the good you've done yeah like I never say that my father wasn't on you know a criminal you know I mean but he was he he was making changes and he was doing positive things but they don't want to give him credit for that they just want to get a credit for the legend Larry Hooper who had a big gang organization not the Larry Hooper who seemed that he had a big organization and he like man this is a bolder's man if I could stop these kids from killing each other it could be a better place man I can get these guys to come together and just you know make peace and he was doing that and people remember that but you know in they mind they want to sell it as a plot that just had the biggest gang and I don't know take over the city or something take over the world I don't know what they was thinking that's ridiculous did you um like you did see Rick Ross after that or talk or did y'all ever come to a hey man you know it wasn't meant that way because that's probably what I would have said like I didn't mean it that way you know what I know that he was trying to own he was trying to auto we honor him we actually got the talk and everything was yeah everything it was like I was trying to honor yeah we came up with an understanding yeah yeah we on boss talk one on one one on one yeah we gonna talk
