He hear a baby, he made it Yeah, yeah, yeah I love, I love, I love what you're doing I've looked at the interviews, I looked at, I listened to the music We needed something I appreciate it And I think you that's something that we need, real talk And I'm not just telling you, cause I'm hard on everybody Yeah You know, and usually I don't like the music, I ain't gonna lie to you A lot of times I like, dang, man, you know, this one ain't it But I mean, I even started thinking about a little baby When I looked at you, I was like, man, this dude got this dude young And he's talented I appreciate that, it's the I love, I love Yeah, yeah The show But I want to know where the name BFG Strap came from Man, my name came from like, BFG was like a group that we put together when I was a kid You know, like, it's still like a family, probably like 15, 14, something like that And like, it started still a family, so I still go by, you know, BFG But my name was, they used to call me Nooski Like, but I ain't really like my name like that, you know So they used to just start calling me, you know, Strap So I just ran with that And then They call you Strap, cause you always Strap? Yeah, yeah, yeah I tried to put it in a different way Oh, okay Yeah, they call me Strap, cause I'm always Strap That was a good one right there And then you spelt it with a double A Yeah That's creative, I like that I think, I'm thinking, thinking, that's cause I'm different I just want to be different I just want to be, I ain't want to do it And like really, I don't even know that nobody's name Strap I don't really know too many people that's Me neither The name's just Strap, if you feel me So it's like when I pick my name, it's like Not too many people named like other rappers, you know what I'm saying Everybody got a unique name, you know what I'm saying So my name gotta be unique, I ain't want to You know what I'm saying So I ain't never heard nobody say Strap before Yeah Before I became Strap, so But then with a person with that name You think that they're gonna always be rapping about guns and stuff like that So is there, cause you do have that in some of your music Yeah But is there ever gonna be a time when you're gonna elevate from that Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do right now I've seen some already Yeah, I got some, I got some I've seen some, that's what messes me up about you Yeah, I got some out there That'll refresh the memory on that level right there You know, but like I really got some in the vault right now A lot of music that's different I really rap different Like the way I rap, I can talk Okay look, everybody rapping about the same thing Regardless of everybody But it's the way you rap It's how you rap, it's deliverance or flow If you got a unique style, you're trying to be like him You know what I'm saying So I feel like, you know, no matter what You feel it yourself But then The reason why I was asking you that Because you're gonna always have that name For sure But then you're gonna try to rap something different For sure You know, because that's why some people Because I remember when Fat Pimp came on here And he was like, he wanted to get rid of that name Because a lot of people when they look at him They'll be like, are you really a pimp? You know what I mean? But then, and as you got older You want to go to schools and talk But with that name, you know Sometimes they look at you a certain way But he didn't, you know He didn't do that anymore because of what Some paperwork stuff But not only paperwork I mean, he learned to live with it Sometimes things happen and you learn to live with it And the CD had already embraced him as that So it's hard to step away from that But West Dallas You from West Dallas Originally, how long, how old was you when you left West Dallas?

You know, I know everybody Gonna have the issues But when it comes down To it, when we do the music When it comes down To the business That's why I like Atlanta Because I feel like A lot of time They put the music Before the issues And we got to get there And we're not there yet Because we don't have The right people And the right places To make sure that The structure is there You know what I mean? So I look at all that Man, I've been Doing business a lot This store been here Fifteen years, man And I had Seven of them in Dallas Yeah, remember? Yes, sir I ain't playing now I'm an old nigga Yeah, exactly I'm an old nigga I'm an old nigga Man, so I've been You know, I've been around My kids They were raised up in here And we opened this up For our kids So, you know For they'll have Know how to be You know, owner Business owners And stuff Entrepreneur, that's what's That's hot right now Yeah, but now You're definitely dope, bruh And like I said When I watched you You answered the questions The way they need to be Answered Talked about not Talking about Not speaking on the Dead Not saying the wrong things But I have a question About going back To the right set Of people around you Okay What are the details that You look for in the right Set of people Because a lot of times People have an entourage Of people Or people have a camp with them But they're a yes people Yeah Anything you say they do They're not actually Trying to say If you're doing something That they don't think Is best for your brand They're not going to stand Up to you And say, you know what No, let's not do it Like this Do it like that So, what do you look For in a And I just I look for I don't Want to be Like Okay, how can I say this Okay, like Hold on Because I'm trying to think Can you tell me one more time Tell me, you say What do I look for In the group I look for I really just look for solid I really don't got to look For nobody else Everybody that got around me I already I already solid They already They already tell me If something is not right They're going to let me know I'm not going to just Make a decision As they're not there You know, as they They're not going to let me To be like Nobody I'll be with Not just going to be like Okay I'm going to tell I'm going to do this I'm going to go over To these apartments You better not go Over there in the apartment You know Like Nah You ain't going to go Over there in the apartment You crazy, okay I might reconsider You know So Like It's good to have Strong minded people On your team Because you don't Need nobody That's Yes, man Because You're blind You know what I'm saying Like what if you You know What if you the blind When you start leading The blind You know what I'm saying So You can't be there You gotta be there You know what I'm saying You gotta be there You gotta have people that That's That's That's That's already equal That's how Okay That's the way to see You need to have people That's equal Right Everybody need to be equal Now nobody Over this man Over this man Everybody got to say so they join it together. So the eye ain't no better than the nose. The nose ain't no better than the hand. All the body is needed in order to work together. You know what I mean? So I think the main thing you're saying is everybody has to be able to do what they do and do it well and play their position, right? All you gotta do is play your position well. That's all you gotta do. And you'll do your part. I gotta do, yeah, I'ma do my part. I don't want to part. Yeah, man. So you can ask, everybody do what they do, I'ma do my part. Do you consider yourself a all-rounded artist? Brand, I should say, or are you just an artist? Because as much as you have a camp around you that's designated, you control the paperwork, you control this, you control that, but at the end of the day, do you know how to do everything that everybody else is doing? Or are you just performing? I mean, what do you mean, like, everywhere? Meaning, because I have a lot of artists who come on and they say they have to research and know paperwork, legalities, everything. Although they have a lawyer, they still have to know these things because you never know when somebody's trying to screw you over or overlook something because people are good at what they do, but we're all human beings. Sometimes you have to back up yourself. Do you study and research a brand to make sure that you can push it no matter what? If LD, god forbid, something, you know what I mean, she had to move around or she got rich, she hit the lottery. We had a lady that hit the lottery. Shout out to Sandra in Los Angeles to hit the lottery and quit. Yeah, Baraba, she quit, but she came back. Yeah, her mind was strong enough. Yeah, nigga, you back now. But anyway, after the millions, it's gone, nigga. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, like, if she hit the lottery, she left and you gotta do her part now. You know what I'm saying? How do you feel that space? You know, you gotta be able to bridge the gap until she get back because she coming back. She gonna blow the million, is what I'm trying to tell you. You know what I'm saying? But would you be able to handle that? That's what she's asking you. Yeah, I would. Yeah, you'll make sure to hold it down until she get back. For sure, because pressure is nothing. Already, man. You know what I'm saying? Pressure make people who they is. You know what I'm saying? So I really like pressure because I do well. It makes you better, don't you? You know what I'm saying? You find out who you, like, because pressure gonna come for the rest of your life. So if you already up under pressure, then you already know how to handle it. So you need to, you know what I'm saying? So, like, you know. Yeah, you just gotta be able to transition in the midst of whatever's happening. Because it's gonna be there regardless. Yeah, man, I love your style, man. Like I said, I don't listen to the music, man. And I'm gonna listen to it again and again. I appreciate it. I'm gonna watch it. Yeah, yeah, I ain't no, I'm not fake. I'm not fake, man. You need to have a show. Oh, you got a lot of watching to do, nigga. I'm watching it, nigga. I'm watching it. I was in Caled as we. I've been going everywhere. You got so many pictures. Man, it's everywhere. We got close to 300 episodes. Yeah. So that's the dope part. Just getting to meet everybody. I drop every damn day. You know what I'm saying? 300 views, I mean, 300 love videos. It ain't working, B. That's all I'm saying. They not, they not, yeah. 300, that's out. We have so many more waiting to come out. Don't get it all out being in there, nigga. Don't get it all out being in there. We backed over a little bit, but you know how it go, you know? You're still pivoting, you know? Yeah, he's right up giving it. Yeah, not for real. So just, you know, you want to ask him something else? Because in one of your songs, you mentioned First Day Out. So you were gone. Yeah. How long were you gone for? I ain't gonna lie. If I ever go to jail, I'm not gonna do more than three days. That's it? Okay, so you wasn't out in that long. Uh-uh. But you got a chance to make that First Day Out. Yeah, I can't. Yeah, I can't. You're gonna make that First Day Out. When a nigga make that First Day Out, he feel like, oh, yeah, I made it. Yeah, I can't write that on him. I said I'll make me a First Day Out. Now you, and that's good. You're a smart business man. Sometimes, like, I like to, I like to, like, play with, I'm not gonna play with the music, like how I rap, but I got my, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, just do something like that. No, you did the right thing because your people love you. And I'm watching how you, you're an independent artist, right? So I don't know, you might know PG, is it, Putting God First, PG L Shout came on here. He's from Atlanta. The nigga move like a label, like he would a label right now when he came in, I don't know if the nigga flew down here, man. He helped me out real good, made a song for the show and everything. I ain't never seen anything like this. The nigga was on it. Billboards. Came in with about 20 people. Yeah, Billboards went up in the city and he did the same thing in Philadelphia. You know what I mean? Like, I like the fact that, and you look the same way to me, like the way that when I look at you online, I'm telling you, it's like you're already pushing like a label behind you when you independent. And I think that's dope, bro. Yeah, I appreciate that. You know what I mean? I appreciate that. People don't say that because you know. They ain't like me, nigga. I'm small. That's how I get to tell you the truth about it. Yeah, they ain't interviewing like me. I'm over here competitive as hell. Nah, bro. That's how you supposed to do it, though. That's what you do. That's how you supposed to do it. Y'all here for sure. Do you intend to stay independent? I'm gonna stay independent for as long as until, until I feel like they saying something right that I want to do because I can keep doing what I'm doing now. I'm getting views already now. I'm doing shooting real videos now. So if y'all not talking about the right thing, then I can't, I can't. So I don't know. I don't know how long. How come I didn't break that TikTok algorithm yet? Yeah, nigga. I got 20,000 followers on TikTok. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, nigga. Yeah, I got, yeah. A million, yeah, a million. Yeah, that's cause I use girls. I got two. I got two. Nah. Put them here. Cause he ain't working it? He ain't on there? Nah. On Instagram, though. You gotta work all platforms. And he proud too. He ain't gonna get on the live and say, say y'all niggas go over there and get on my TikTok. Yeah, I am. You know what I'm saying? Cause they love you. They gonna do it. If you say the word, they gonna do it. I'm gonna tell you what it really is. I don't know how to work it. I don't know how to work it. Man, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna set up for two hours and put my phone up and try to do the little dance to my song. No, not you. We don't have to do all of that. No, no, no. You get people who are gonna set you up, get you some dance, get somebody to dance. Don't you do it. And get that song popping and then once she, that song already popping. Whatever song you pick. Cause all of them going crazy on YouTube. I appreciate it. You know what I'm saying? You gotta just talk in fluent shows. Exactly. You just get them and then let them do the dancing. Cause they already got to follow. For sure. Yeah, and that's how you do it. And then your song go viral. But it's a process, right? It's a crazy process because everybody trying to shoot for every avenue. Every avenue is an opportunity, right? Yeah, not a lot. Every avenue is an opportunity. I was telling one, was it a couple of people? I know the little girl that came over here. I don't do this, Facebook, I wanted to do this. I don't do TikTok. It's just like you open the door and looked in the room where people was that might have accepted you and closed the door and said, I don't wanna fool with them. You lying to yourself. You need to do all things because there's people in those avenues that you know they're gonna rock with you. You talented. It's not that they don't do it. The problem is it takes a lot of time. People don't realize how much effort it takes to go from this media to this media to this media and to post all of these different things. And plus you still have to do your daily work, whatever you're doing. It takes a lot of time. I agree. A lot of people don't wanna spend that time half of their day trying to set social media up. Yeah, I agree. I mean, you know, I've been married to you for 20 years. Nigga, I'm not gonna disagree, nigga. Hell, I look like over at Disagree. I'm trying to go home and be happy.

And one thing that I told my wife the morning when they called me because I was called soon is that I was in real time with it. And it was like, did I say the right thing to him? Did I, you know, cause that's what I'm here for. I'm here to, I know God put me in here to say the right thing to the young people that come through this problem. I'm for sure. Cause everybody knows that. I'm real with it. Yeah, they probably don't know what they hear for, they know what they hear for, they just don't. I went back and pulled the clip and we talked about blessings and all type of stuff, man. So I felt good about that, you know, that I did get to use that opportunity.

And the reason I say it's good is because, you know, you gotta go out and deal with other different people to let them see your talent as well. For sure. Because everybody in Dallas know you good at what you do. That's the key. You gotta go to the next city, take over that city, and hopefully move to the next city, take over that city, you know? Just do, just keep that word. I do it in clothes, but it's the same thing. Like if you get New York floor to way over, they gonna know me. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's the same thing. So, what inspired that song, you know, that Everyday 420, like what? Who produced it? Stoneman. Stoneman produced a lot of your music. Most of it? Everything, like, really, like. Everything. Nah, most of it. Most of it. For sure. He dope. He hard. I mean, your beats be coming through. I was like, this nigga right here. When I listen, I'm telling you, I just like, don't feel bad, cause when Chos came over on here, I didn't know his stuff either. And I'm an old nigga, so y'all gonna have to forgive me. DJ Chos came on here, and my wife and me was here. You remember that? And I was like, damn, I don't even know none of this stuff. My son knew it, but I didn't know it. So don't be mad at me, nigga. I'm just telling you dope, cause I had the LD hit me up. I had to go check it out. You know what I'm saying? Nah, for sure. And when I did, I said, this dude really got talent. Cause you see so many other dudes they be, they don't have the catalog. They don't have you. I go through the months, your visuals, you consistent with them. You ain't just throwing the one thing up. Some niggas, I look at this stuff, they ain't did nothing in three years. I have niggas that call me that ain't did nothing in three years. Want to get on this show, bro. I'm not playing. My inbox full of that shit, too. It is. And I'll be like, I can't do, how am I gonna do the damn interview? We're gonna talk about. Yeah. But your music, man, everything that you, everything that you doing, what about Parley, man? What's up with that, man? How did you, how did you process that? Well, uh, with Jason, really because like the Parley, like it was like, like I used to be like, how I made the song. Yeah, how you made the song. I didn't even care about it. I mean, like the whole song came about through L.D. because L.D., she know Jason, you know, the one who made the song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like Nico, Jason, H. You know, I don't, you know, we know all of them, my people. So she locked in. Yeah, them, my people, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, she, one day she, she was in Atlanta.

We just, me and stones getting in there and cook up just. That's why them niggas say they, you know, come in. They say he, he liked the baby. He signed. If he's saying that, I don't know why though. Cause you got your own style, bro. I'm being real. I hear you listen to your own style. But they probably say, I probably say I sound like the baby. Cause they listen to that beat or you look like him. Yeah. Yeah, I know for a fact, your music is different. Quite different. Your cadence is different. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, and they, and they good. Do you know what I'm saying? They voice how much sound though? Huh? They voice how much sound. Sound a little bit of like. Yeah. And I'm gonna get on that.

I can, I can, I can tell you, I got a list of beats right now. You know how to pick the beats. Yeah, I know. Some people have problems with that. So that's the deal. I know how to really pick beats. Like I can sit in here and like really pick beats. Like, yeah, to rap on and I'm rapping all of them and then it's gonna be hard. I know the one that's not to rap on. Bro, you're a trip too. I would listen to your lyrics. You would bring up Ricky Rush. Nigga, you went to the high box. Shit, man. This nigga keep bringing up Ricky Rush on these damn lyrics. Yeah. Now you gotta, you gotta really know about I bought your lyrics. I know about it. I used to go over there. Yeah, yeah, people gotta really know like they're late night commercials. They used to come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, while you sleep, you know, two, three, two, I don't want to wake up. What in hell do you want? Yeah, that's what- Where is commercial go? Man, I don't know. Man, I'm dirty, bro. He had the commercial, then he had the billboards. He was- He was jumping that boy. Me, he wasn't in Dallas. I was just over there. That's why they buried, you know, what it was, that's why. And when you said something in your song, I told my wife, I was like, you said something about sending you to Ricky Rush or something. And it was about a beer. I'm like, dang, we just left there. I'll just, you know, Friday. Yeah. Cause that's why we went to the field, right? But then when you said that, I'm like, he telling the truth. Like that's where they have to go. Like the youngsters relate to him. You know that, right? The youngsters, that dude, that's who he, he relate to. And that's what a young, they take the young folks. Yeah. And I hate that, man. I hate to see all young men, you know, leaving out so early. Oh, for sure. Everybody got to keep your head on. Man. You gotta move, man. You gotta be smart, man. But you, you smart. Cause you said something, I heard you on one interview would say cheese. Cause I try not to never not say people name. When I hear something, I give them their credit. I love everybody. But you said, you was like, you got to be careful what you say. Yeah. Cause you, you speak things into existence. It's a real thing. That's, that's so true. That too. And like, you got to be careful what you say. Like just about anything right now. I'm like, me, you know what I'm saying? I can't be running around saying, fuck this nigga. You know what I'm saying? Like, like no dead. You know what I'm saying? Like I can't be, you know what I'm saying? So you got to watch what you say. You got to watch what you say. You know what I'm saying? But I say that because like, like, because like I'll say to fans wise, I'm not saying it as no, no nigga. You know what I'm saying? Gonna do nothing to nobody. I'm saying like, you got to watch it for the music wise. You got to watch what you say for the, for the people. You know what I'm saying? They'll flip what you say. Yeah. Yeah. That's what they did on with, with, with the baby about that speaking on the LGBTQ or whatever. They made it more than what it, what it was called to be. That's really my, that's really a good example. Like, watch what you say. Yeah. That's the perfect example. It was nobody, no car, second dig outside. Nobody. And why they get mad about that? I don't think he said, if you're not outside a second dig in a car, put your, make some noise. Who's outside the car, second dig? Nobody. So we're wrong with it. Wow. Nobody. Wow. Wow. Ain't that something? Then he said some shit like the, the, the if you ain't got a job deal or something like that. That's what up there. Everybody around there. That wrote them wrong too. Cause there's somebody out there that do got that shit. All them people out there. Shit. That's what's going on. People wrong way right there. I understand that, but if all them people, I bet you know, now time, nobody in the audience said nothing about nothing that stuff happened. It went on. It's the people in the industry. Yeah, that's how it is. So they had nothing to do with the fans out there. It's the people in the industry. They gay. How are you moving, man? With, with spot them, got them just got shot like several times, car was shot 22 times. How are you moving out here? Are you moving with precision? I mean, I ain't ever been shot. I'm saying I'm just going to put that on. You know what I'm saying? I've been really doing this shit for a long time. God was going to listen, yeah. I've been asking for a long time. I've been doing this shit. So for me not to be shot, I feel like, you know, or you're in jail. I feel like shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm really blessed. You feel me? Because like, I ain't gonna lie. Spot them, got them tripped out. But he was leaving the studio or something. What are you saying? Man, man, tripped out, bro. Like you got to, but they say it was carol rage or some shit. I don't think nobody. Oh really? Yeah, I think, I think it was some road rage. Yeah, they did say it was carol rage. So. So it wasn't even something that had to happen. It kind of just happened. When nobody looking for me. I don't know, I really can't even tell you. Yeah, yeah. I really can't even tell you. Yeah, we speculate. Yeah, we just going out where we just saying it. Putting two and two together. On Instagram. Let me see. But no, I do know that that came out, man. So, you know, that's why I say when you leave and whatever you're doing, man, you just got to be seasoned and not let Satan, I told you earlier, don't let him trick you out of your position, man. You forget millions of dollars and you forget tricked out of your position, really? But see, I'm sure. Bro, I'll be so upset. Don't come back over here. I'll be mad as hell. I feel like I'm so sad because like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not saying if you don't get shot, that mean like, I'm not saying it don't mean nothing. You know what I'm saying? But I don't want face to face. And when did all this shit for real with a lot of people, you know what I'm saying? So for me to still be right here and still able to do this shit, like, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'll ask you something else. Like NBA Youngboy being so popular like he is right now, but being locked up. That's crazy. That's crazy. You understand what I'm saying? How do you think like the Pooh Shies is in it? And you know what I'm saying? To be locked up right now. And they, yeah, and your career is up here. Everybody looking for you. They love you. Yeah. And you going. I'm gonna be a hunnit shit. That shit just, it's a part of life. Like, okay, everybody is looking at you like a star but they forgetting you a regular nigga too. You know what I'm saying? They forgetting you a star, all that shit, but you regular too. You, you, sometimes you get in your ways. Yeah. You're fucked up. So you feel, you know what I'm saying? I think that's, I just, I always ask those questions. You know, like, come on, man. You know, like you, you guys got, yeah, how did it happen? How did that things happen like that? No, the quick people react. And then cameras is every damn way. I do not understand why these people don't see these damn cameras. I swear to God. That's why everybody can shout in the highway. How in the hell do you people don't see these damn cameras? You know, and then they'll bring the video out right after that. That's why you're like, damn. Everybody getting shot on the highway. Yeah. Yeah, that's the new thing. Them the least cameras. Yeah. Wow. And niggas just gotta do it. It's a new thing. The new thing. The only way you get caught on the highway if you got a 18-willer.

Man, so, hey, man, if you could go back to your younger you and we're going to wrap it up, but if you go back to your younger you, man, and talk to that 14-year-old to prepare yourself for where you was headed, what would you say to it? I'd just say you need to start right now. Go hard right now. Hard as you can. You need to start right now. Yeah. Yeah. You need to be trying to do this right now because I had more time on my, you know what I'm saying? The more, the younger I was, I had more, the more time on my hand I had. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So the younger I am, the more time I got. You feel it? So 14, shit, out of shit. You know what I'm saying? If I would have started right there and been right here right now, I'd be a bad motherfucker. The bad you been talking to because you could see what was coming. But you think you to listen to yourself? Hell, no. You 21 coming to a podium. He wouldn't listen. He would have more studio time. We payed at $15. Yeah. Oh yeah. Nah, for real, nah, for real. My mom's studio time. Fuck the N, I N ain't gonna lie. There's $15, I ain't pay him. Nothing, there's no more on my app. So the guy, I put it on my line. I walk the nigga out. Every day he's trying to record. What's up? Hey man, how can people, how can people get old to you, man? How can they find you? Man, you gotta hit me up on goddamn Instagram, bfgstrap, two A's. Every time you type, think about strap, it's two A's. Man, no typo. It's just two A's. That's how I did it. And you gotta go to Twitter, bfgstrap, two A's, everything. And that's how I got right there. Let me ask you something, man, cause you know, I'll be asking some questions. I asked most of the same question. You good? When, did you, did you watch Boosie when he was on Breakfast Club? I think I did. Uh huh. Boosie fucked up. You think he did? Boosie fucked up. Why you say that? I just, I'm just, I'm saying Boosie fucked up. Like he's the fucked up nigga, like. Boosie fucked up, man. Give me the spill. Nah, I gotta hear this. This a big fan, I like this. Now what, why do you think you messed up? I'm saying messed up on what? How? You said, yeah, I'm talking about Fars, why would you say that? I'm saying he fucked up because like his high years. Yeah, like he wild, ain't he? He wild, he wild. He wild too, though. That's why he from Louisiana, he can relate. My cause. They did shit wrong, man. That's how they live, you know what I'm saying? They did nothing wrong on the interview cause I fed him. You not for the pussy. You not for the pussy. I ain't even seen no interview. But what it was, it was an interview where they brought a gay guy up and. They were trying to push a gay stuff on kids and he was trying to explain them, you y'all can't keep pushers on our kids like that. And he trying to say he have a say so in his kid life with them not being gay. When Nas X was one of the main contributors of why he was saying what he was saying. Cause he was pregnant on a couple of videos and stuff like that. And kids gonna ask why daddy? Like why? Why he doing this? Cause they don't see it in real life no more. They don't see it ever. But they see it on internet. They gonna ask daddy why. He don't want to answer the question. I don't want to answer the question. My kid don't ever ask me that question. I can't say do people like the straight and the gay agenda, you know, it's something else. It's a lifestyle, you know what I mean? Like it's no different than anybody else doing whatever they do. You know what I mean? So I don't trip over that part, but what I do trip over is if there's not balance. I always say that there has to be balance in this world. In anything you do, you can go out there right now and let that all run out of the car. Y'all came up in it and it's gonna blow like hell. You don't have to worry about driving too far. You know what I mean? So in life you gotta have balance. I do know that. I have to show that's one thing I learned. This is the part I don't understand right now. They want their kids to be gay. They're gonna let their kids do gay stuff. What do you mean gay stuff? Like at that age. Oh man. So how they know what gay people do, that's one of the stuff they do. Do you see what I'm saying? No, I don't. It's like you got a 13-year-old boy. He saying he want to be gay. How do you know what gay people do? On TV. Thank you. Yeah, or people that he been around, or he feel a certain way about himself. But you gonna let your son do it though? You gonna let him do it? As a parent. If your son come and you wanna say he's gay, you say okay, that's cool. You can be gay. I said listen, listen, I accept that. But now he talking about doing what gay people do. You gonna accept that? No. You gotta accept that. You know he gonna start doing what gay people doing? No, I'm just saying though. That's how they push it up on the kids. That's how they push it up on the kids. Like they'll say you can be gay just in that. But then they don't see the consequences that come with it. A lot of times, like I said, when 13, 12, 10, you start looking at those ages, it's a very complicated thing to talk about any type of sexual relationship period. So that's a whole different ball game. Yeah, it's crazy. You know what I mean? But man, thank you so much, man. I don't know why the hell we got over on that subject, but that's what happened on this show. We just go. Yeah, that's hard. That's hard, I like that. But no, but yeah, who inspired you the most? To make music? Yeah. Shit, they inspired me the most. I'm talking about like another artist or something. Oh, it was just me. It was just swinging because like. So no big celebrity, nothing like that. I mean, I always heard. He'll always be a big celebrity. I always heard how P.E. are for show. I always heard how people rap for like rappers that was in the industry. And I'd be like, man, he ain't gonna rap like that. I can rap like that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like not even to compare myself, but just like, man, they real rappers. They real rappers. I can be a real rapper. I don't give a damn. If he can be a rap, I can be a real rapper. I don't give a damn. So, you know. Four years ago, it was Yellow Bees in Monk 3 and five years ago, this is the people that you would actually see and rap. I mean, who else was it? It was your trap. It wasn't many. That was hot in Dallas. Nah, it wasn't a lot. It wasn't a lot. There wasn't any motherfuckers. That's my boy right there. You know what I'm saying? But he definitely did some great music, but it wasn't many. That was what I'm saying. Nah, it wasn't. But then, but then you held your own. You knew, you used to put this thing on the map, right? Nah, for sure. Do you even be saying Dallas like that in your song? You're a real rap Dallas like that. They know I'm from Dallas. What part of South Dallas do you be in? You say you be in the South. I be in the South. I be like on Casey Street. I be like in Fort Worth, Linway. Okay, okay. You know they messed that street up over there where people can't go through there. Oh, you're on a freeway, yeah, they fucked up man. They messed up the Black 4B. I don't like that. Man, they fucked it up over there, man. I ain't gonna lie. That hurt businesses over there, man. They know what they're doing. Yeah, they trying to run everybody off, man. I hate that. I really just be like indifferent. Like, cause coming up, I was in... You was in the Grove too. Yeah, I was in the Grove too. Like I was in North Dallas too. Like I done been in everywhere. Like shit, cause I done lived everywhere. My parents, my mama done moved everywhere. So that shit was cute. I was a kid. I couldn't stay in the house. So whenever we moved or whatever, I'm going right outside. That's how everybody knew me. Yeah. Like everybody got to knew me before I was even rapping. Like before we was even rapping, we was already known. Everybody in Dallas, I already knew us. My best friend. Yeah, it's all good. I already knew us. So it's like... You did that Charlotte Lowe song too? Yeah, R.P. Charlotte Lowe. How you know about Charlotte Lowe? You too, y'all. Nah, come on, man. My niggas be tripping me out. Boy, y'all niggas... How the hell you know about Charlotte Lowe? Come on, man. I just know about them and that's my deal. I believe you too. I really do. I really do. I really do. When you like somebody, you start digging in. The end of that make everything so accessible, but when he passed away, you remember when he passed away? Yeah, I remember. Yeah, that was crazy because I hear all kinds of stuff. Man, you know, man, Luminati is all in everything. Let the niggas tell it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I don't, man, I don't.

You and the L.D. going to be nervous to sell. Yeah. We're going to have to read this shit for four days. Wow! Hey, man. We got $15 million. Will he give up his master? He don't know. He don't know. No, man. You know better than that now. He ain't even given up his master now. It's crazy, nigga. He's dumb as fuck. Ain't nobody giving up their master no more.
