 Of course I had a pretty girlfriend and now I got a pad so she can hang out and spend, you know, stay long, stay the night and get pregnant. Basically. How did you feel when she came to you and told you, I'm pregnant? Well, see, here's the difference. At that point in time, I wanted a baby because I didn't have nobody. I'm by myself, I'm not dealing with any relatives, so I was kind of like the one that was like, cool. Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to Ihi, the reason you see. I left, I left, I left on my aunt to live with my aunt. I mean, and after, after that, after that, I've been on my own ever since at 18, I moved out. I had a. What's your first job you had? When I moved out, when I moved out, I got $250 Social Security for my father. For me father. So I had a hundred dollar month apartment. I spent $100 on food and $50 in my pocket. And I really I was going to trade technical college. I was trying to be an auto body infender. I wanted to be cars. I did that in high school. I know how to paint cars. I know how to work on cars. But I was always intrigued with the cast that was pulling up in the cars. I wanted the car. I didn't want to just work on the car. So. My first real job was in the military. I I was how old were you when you went? Nineteen. Nineteen. OK. Because what happened was being a being a by myself at 18, I have my own pad. I got my girl. I was about to say, I know you had your daughter when you went. Yeah. So I had my my my my girl. Now I got a girl can stay over the house and hang out and all that. I got a pregnant. I didn't really know you could get somebody pregnant that quick because I hadn't had that much sex. I wasn't really fast in high school. They didn't teach you in high school back then. But you ain't get I'm not you're not knocking it down yet. You know, like the girls in my school would flirt with you. And then at night when at school is over, they getting picked up by grown ass niggas in nice cars. I'm like, why are you even talking to me in school when you got these grown ass men picking you up at high after school? So I was like, so I really wasn't able to really get no serious action till I was a 12th grader. A lot of my homies was getting pussy and hot junior high. And that wasn't me. I was I wasn't popular yet, you know, to be honest. So when I finally could get this constant flow of action, I had to be in a 12th grade because that's when I had a little leverage over the females. So of course I had a pretty girlfriend and now I got a pad so she can hang out and spend, you know, stay long and stay the night and get pregnant. Basically, how did you feel when she came to you and told you I'm pregnant? Well, see, here's the difference. At that point in time, I wanted a baby because I didn't have nobody. I'm by myself. I don't have I'm not dealing with any relatives. So I was kind of like the one that was like, cool. Yeah. You know, I got somebody, but she was young. She was in the 10th grade. So, you know, that was a trip. But that's when I joined the army. I did four years in the military. And, uh, that was my first. Did you have to sit down with the parents? But it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't that kind of thing. You know, it's kind of like, you know, we was kids and we was having sex. And that's just how it happened, you know, but it wasn't like. I mean, after I came out the army, me and her were able to make us understand that we was just fucking, you know, we were too young. We're not a couple, you know, so we were able to co-parent the baby and take care of my daughter. You know, well, see, once I once I came out the military, I got in the streets. Prior to the military, I was in the streets doing little petty things, you know, but I knew that wasn't going to make no money and I was going to go to jail. And now I got this daughter. I need to be responsible. So that's why I enlisted. How long did you stay in the military? Four years. Four years. You didn't want to reenlist? No, I did like, I did like two years. I call it two years in, two years out, where I was two years kind of like gung-ho. But then there was a moment in the military where one of my sergeants told me that you're in here because you can't make it in civilian life. And I was like, that struck me. I was like, well, that's why I did join, you know, but. I can make it, you know, sometimes, you know, we tell people positive stuff, but sometimes you got to tell somebody they a loser to really activate them. Right. Right. Some people that work on it, some people that don't, some people will go into total depression. That's why you have so many people talk about mental illness now. And they said that you scarred me because you told me I was a loser and whatever. Some people take it and be like, I'm going to prove you wrong. Exactly. So that scar had hurt me a different way. It was like, yo, it motivated you. But now I come out the army and all my little homies, there was, you know, 18, 17, 16, I come home and they have elevated their game. Now they like, oh, no, we not doing that no more. It means stealing car stereos. If we steal anything, we steal the whole car. And then what we doing is we hitting these jewelry stores, these credit unions, these small banks, we getting money. Word, like that's how it's happening. Now I now I come back, I'm infantry, so I got military understanding. So I start figuring out how to plan out these things better for them. And we got real active doing that. And I was fortunate. I never got caught. I never got caught. And we did that for about five years solid. And during this time that you were doing this, you weren't even interested in music at that time. Well, see, music happened during the time I was in the military. When I was in the military, you're in there with people from all over the country and New York kids would win the military. I was stationed in Hawaii. I was 25th Infantry Division. So there was cats from New York coming that were there in my unit. And they had tapes and they playing hip hop. This is the first generation of hip hop is unrecorded hip hop. Meaning just tapes, right? That's fearless for the I mean, treacherous three. All cool, all that kind of stuff. Then when Sugar Hill gang hit it broke, it started to be recorded on wax. But pre, it was all under tapes in the parks. I was hearing those. So I'm really very I'm listening and I'm like, that should sound dope. That should sound dope. And then they could break dance a little bit. These are military cats. I'm like, I like this shit. Hip hop is very intoxicating. When you see it, when you see the DJing and the graffiti, you like it. Like it makes you like it. I want to try it. What did you think about Curtis Blow when that was going on? Dope. It's dope. Curtis Blow. I mean, Sugar Hill gang, King Tim, the third. That anything rapping was cool to me. I was like, this is dope. So my plan to come out the military was to be a DJ. So I bought a bunch of stereo equipment in the army. And I, you know, EV speakers and I'm going to throw parties. In LA, you had Uncle Jam's army. And they were throwing these big parties in LA that were at the L.A. Sports Arena. This is like the big introduction of a rave. Five thousand kids at a dance, because there's a big market between, you know, 16 and 21 that can't get into a club. So these parties were jumping and LA was active. So I thought I could do that.
