 Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Kendrick is a little dude. He was relevant in the neighborhood. Wow. I found out from Shawty Bang, he was rapping with them, Young Peron, all of these hymn problem, all of these dudes was like straight little gang members. What about YG? YG was not in the mix to that? Well, YG is actually from Paramount. Okay. His aunt stayed in Tree Tops, but these people need labels. Not taking nothing away from YG. You know, but he didn't go to our schools. Okay. He didn't hang in our neighborhoods. He just ripped it. Kind of like, you know. Yeah, on the music. Yeah. But then they ain't giving back. Wow. You know what I'm saying? To get somebody some guns and shit, you ain't helping your neighborhood. Yeah. All these dudes was claiming Pai Ru, Chris Brown, all of these other dudes that using the label and not one studio for people to go do rap at, but you'll spend $25,000 in a strip club. I mean, we getting used, not used, misused. Wow. How you use, you can't use a cracker's name and they don't get paid for it, huh? So how you use Pai Ru? How do you use Compton and you ain't been there? Nick, a check in. Let me ask you this. So with everything that you've seen, you're 71. Yeah. And you've seen this whole thing evolve from to what it is today. Do you, are you okay with where it's at? Or do you feel like it should be, we should be in a better state? Far as the gang violence and the stuff that happened with the guys who are still out there today active. And you asked, could you repeat that? I'm just saying, how do you feel about where it is today? I feel, I feel miserably sad that in 50 years of being active, that we have nothing to show for it. We didn't went backwards. Wow. And just Pai Ru's and everybody knew where they buried the dog in the backyard. And now we got all these people coming from other places claiming and you have nothing. That's a business that failed, huh? Wow, yeah. So for me to see these youngsters claiming something, and we got a battle right now with fruit town and tree tops. Pai Ru's are killing another Pai Ru before they'll kill a Crip. Wow. You can't even go to a function and these two get together. And this, what happened, most of these dudes weren't even born when this, this, this mishap happened. But they repping something cause he said it. Cause she said, well, we ain't, we don't fuck with Jim. We don't do this. Like, why? They right across the street from each other. You got family members that's related. We all related some kind of, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And that's, it's just different from what we do in the South, of course. But just to see that, my cousins, they're definitely, I've taken her over there and off Crenshaw. You remember I took your Uncle James out? Been there all the life, 70 years. My Uncle James used to have fishing, fishing chip or whatever down in all the restaurants. He had a bunch of them. And Sears shoe repair downtown. And basically, man, I seen it and I would see the way they were when they would come, you know, to Texas. And it was just a different mindset on life. You know what I mean? Right. A little bit faster, of course, cause country laid back, but still, you know, cause you got killings everywhere, but it's just the strategic way it's done up there versus the way it's done here. But see, you gotta understand, Texas is just Texas. You see, y'all in Texas and y'all do Texas stuff. Correct. California is a transit state. Everybody can't make it in Texas. They try to come to California to do better. They come to Hollywood, they come in and get turned out and now they bitter, but they can't come back home. Yeah. So they bring their culture and bring their misery to our state. You feel what I'm saying? I get it. And so you got all of these people that come from all over the world, all over from Louisiana, Mississippi, that came there, they wanna be rappers, wanna be movie stars. Go downtown and get robbed, took all their money. They too embarrassed to ask their mama, can you send for me? And they live on the street. All you have freak accidents like Jamie Foxx who come and put a staple out of Tarot, Texas, who get that respect and put that work in to where he's recognized in California right now. Oh yeah. Movie stars, yeah, but he ain't been to Compton still. He don't come to Compton? No, Jamie ain't been to Compton. I know, I don't know the demographics like that. Well, I'm telling you. So when you look at it though, and then now vice versa, just to stand up for the fact that Texas is where our neighbors just moved from California for a better, you know, because of the finances and the way the culture live in here. Okay, and they're runaways. Is that what y'all call them? They're runaways. If you can't make it in Cali, you can't make it nowhere. Well, I'm coming here every, this is cheaper. Well, the same $2 that you making here, the $20 you making there, but you paying $4,000 a month for rent. Here, it's $800 a month. So if you couldn't manage that money that you was making paying the $4,000 eventually, because now here it is again, a lot of people come to Texas and a lot of people come back to Cali. Mm, yeah, I would say, I can't say the transition. I don't know the people for us that didn't work back. The ones that I'm dealing with now that are here was actually had a few over last night. Matter of fact, I got my crime partner. He down here? Yeah, we started selling PCP in Texas, in Houston. And we went to prison, went to Huntsville and he's in Arlington right now. I got a big old pretty house, that had been $2 million in California. Correct, correct. And he's a truck driver and he drives, but he liked this laid back issue. Yeah, correct. You dig what I'm saying? I'm Cali. Well, my uncle went up there and he did pretty good. So it's just different strokes for different folks. You know what I mean? Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.
