Yeah, I know, man. So they'll know that we own it. How you doing? I'm wonderful. Welcome to the trap slash black market. 85 South Show presents the black market, you know, to highlight and spotlight. Some people doing some positive things in our community there. We feel like people need to know more about, introduce yourself to our audience. All right. Well, my name is Angelita Potts. I'm actually, AKA known as Mama Chopper. Mama Chopper. And I'm the Chopper mom. So that's what you're known as Mama Chopper. I seen you in here rapping all the lyrics to all the hardest songs. I said, who is this lady from here? He said, that's my mom. I said, ain't no way. Yeah, I'm a zoned out fan. I just say that. So clearly you've gotten involved in the music industry. Yeah, I had no choice at the time. Well, how did you, how did it happen? You just had no choice. Um, he started out, I went too far into it at first. Because, you know, I think he told you before that he was starting out being an athlete. Right. And he started rapping. I was like, ooh, because it's kind of rough, you know? Right. He ended up calling me one day. I was like, mom, the label's are hitting me. I said, boy, anybody calling you, click. And I hung up. He called me back. Mom, don't you hang up this phone. I was like, what? I got to go to work. He was like, no, we got to go to LA. I said, knock, call your dad. I'm not going to LA, click. He called back. And he was like, mom, I'm telling you, this is for real. Because I thought he was playing on my phone because he normally always trying to joke on me out and saying, I know he a joke stuff. And this is the third time when he called. He called with one of the people on the phone. And I was like, oh, I'm like, who are you? So I'm on the computer looking up. I was like, oh, OK. I was like, well, we need to fly. We wanted to fly out just to have a meeting to see. And I was like, damn, for real? And they was like, yeah. So I was like, OK. And we've jetted off to California. And it started on January 6, 2019. So clearly you know what you're doing. Because I heard you just launched a YouTube page that got 20,000 subscribers. Lost it. That just launched. Like you just started. I thought she said, no, they lost it. No, you just started a YouTube page. I didn't like her. We started out with, I think it was 200 and something. And it went to 300. And then I dropped a few videos. It went to like 22,000 in like a few days. I think one video I did, I did a prank on Shopping. It's already at like 382,000 views within like 11 or 12 days. So is that something you're interested in then like creating some more media and stuff like that? Yeah. I like doing that. Yeah. With that, I did a few reaction videos. We got to give some reaction. You got to react to some of this stuff over here on 85 South. I sure will. Because we got some clips. I am there. So how has this journey been for you? Since you know this is something, it's not your natural feel, something that you kind of just let you see it and just happen. But I guess the management is because I'm on my own business for over 25 years now. Yeah. What's your business? I do taxes. I need to be consulting services. Also, oh. We're going to get some taxes right. Hey, man, it's Clayton English. Look, if you out there, if you're hearing, you're smelling crazy, get yourself manscaped. Get yourself taken care of.

Keep your balls trimmed, fresh and clean with Manscaped. Yeah. That's another thing. My clients have been asking me to do that for years now. And I suppose I had a class and then I would get busy because like I said, I also do real estate. OK. So I own a lot of properties, so I kind of like trying to manage all these different businesses I have. How's the market for you right now? In the middle of all this chaos? I'm good. I'm good for them. Yeah, you got to learn how to. I told you you got to learn how to manage it out. So with a lot of people, when this pandemic hit and a lot of people was like, I'm straight. I'm straight, so I always listen to, is one thing my brother always taught me from I was a child, say your money, say your money, say your money. And I said, if I keep saying my money, when I spend it, he said, you know in the right time for you to spend it. Yeah. And I always took that to heart and ran with it. And he's right. I love it. Yeah. I see you iced out today. Yeah, I'm just a little bit. No, it looks nice. Just a little bit. Good. Hell, yeah. I love to see it, man. It's all about black prosperity, you know, and breaking these generational curses. Yeah, trying to. Just keeping everybody around you on the right path and trying to make sure everybody learns the stability on their finances. Yeah. Like, you got to get that nip in the bud. It's money hard to come back. How do you separate the mom from the manager? I can do it easily. On the other hand, it's not so easy for him. And I understand, because, you know, my mom actually worked with me, so I had to figure that out, too. So a lot of times, you just have to learn how to step back on certain stuff or not be as aggressive on certain stuff. So it kind of helped to balance it out and then kind of sharing some of the workload so it won't. So you won't have to see me or, you know what I'm saying, that gets me all the time that you see or that's in your face or it has something to say. Well, it always has something to say. I heard that. Well, you know, you're always going to have something to say. It's not mom, though. Yeah. So do you give the professional advice and then the mommy advice separate? Correct. You have to. I've always known the difference between business and personal, but it's just the other people that's reciprocating it has to know the difference as well. But that's with growth. Well, that's a lot of trust right there, because it's, you know, especially dealing with the industry, sometimes you have to say no as hard as hell to say no to your mama. Or have to see your mama to tell these people no. Tell them all want to do it. I have no problem with telling anybody no. See, that's probably one of the benefits. Because they had to realize I'm not a rapper, so I have no problem with telling you no at all. And everybody around me would be like, oh, can't you look too blunt? Well, it does feel nice. How you managed to keep all of these industries going at the same time? That's a good question. I'd be wondering that the same. I'd be wondering that myself. It's hard. But I guess, I don't know, for some reason, it's some people just built for it. Yeah. You know? Well, you know, right here in my side notes, they say you already got all two college degrees and you got consulting services and investment services and artist management and entertainment. Yeah. I'm working at that. I'm working at that. Well, actually, when I leave here, I'm going back to do these texts. My clients, they've been waiting on me. They're patient, and they love me. What kind of advice would you give to the ladies out there who might need just to hear something to be inspired right now? Who got it on their mind? They just need a little confirmation. You need to keep working hard. Hard work pays off. If you got a good team, like I tell people all the time, there is no I in team. Like, I'm a team player. Right. And I got a really good team back home. Got Anise, she runs my rental stuff for me now. One of my good friends, she helps out with the tax information. Got two of my other friends that work. They work on the properties themselves. So it's all about having a strong, good team and people that you can trust. Let me ask you this. What is the most common mistake that you see people making with taxes, with their taxes? With their own taxes? With their own taxes. Not paying their taxes? Meaning you working and you thinking that you're working, but you're saying it's your money, but you still got to pay Uncle Sam. So you can't make $50,000 and pay in $200 in taxes and then wonder why you owe. Right. Because eventually they're going to put a tax block on you. You don't want them to put no tax block on you. You just might as well just go on to pay your taxes. You got to pay it anyway and get it over with. Get it over with. Where can they find you and get in touch with you and all of that type of stuff? They can find me at Angelita Potts on IG or Mama Chop on YouTube. Or I don't want to give out my number because you can't begin at your number on here now. Look me up. Look me up. You're a farmer, not hard to find. But you are still available to do business with, right? Yes. People ain't going to be like, oh, she got all this. She might not want to hear this. No, a lot of people think that, but I still got quite a few clients. Other business taxes, all that. OK. Well, I wish you nothing but success. I appreciate that. Uh-oh. We got questions from the crowd. Yeah, I got to get out here and get it. What? He should be. Thank you. I basically, my whole goal is to get him to the next level and to the next level and to the next level. And you can only do that by listening and paying attention. You know what I'm saying? And you have to have a good foundation of people around you. You can't have a lot of yes, yes people around you. Like I said, I'm the number one no person in the whole group. Like, no, don't do that. They just be like, look, this is how it's got to be. Because if not, you mess up your career, basically. And you got to get people in your circle that are here for you first and not money first. If you're here for money first and then you, it's a dangerous person to be around. That was not who you want on your team. So you pick your team and choose your team wisely. Because if not, they'll be the main person that can snake you, the main person that can get you killed. That's facts. We got another question. OK. Yeah, the first thing you need to do, like I just said, to not, under any circumstances, sign anything without reading it first. I've talked to quite a few, like I had quite a few artists to ask me there, quite a few artists to send me copies of their contracts. But that's the number one thing that they don't do is read what they're signing. They don't understand it all day. Right. What it says, you know? But if you don't read it to see it for yourself, they can feed you a bunch of bullshit. And a lot of people do. And when you don't know, it's hard. So for instance, if I come to you and I'm going to say, yeah, come on, I got you. I ain't going to charge you nothing to do. X, Y, Z, I can get you in this door, that door, this door, that door. And I'm feeding you in. Like, yeah, I come on, I just need you to just sign this, just to use me as your retainer. But I don't put all kind of stuff inside this contract. Now I need 50% of what you're getting out of every single thing that you do. Like a lot of people have done that to a lot of these artists, you hear it all the time. But I just tell people all the time, if you don't understand what you're reading and get somebody that you know and trust, that does find you an entertainer. You have to do your research. Don't just take the first thing coming to you, shop around. And then if they forcing you to do it right then, you know, that's the first sign of no, don't do it. Appreciate costs too much. Yeah, and it'll cost you in the long run. That's real. But we appreciate you stopping through the black market and putting this game on us with us. You know, gaming us up. I said I'm near a house somewhere. I saw some. You did? I sure did. It was a good time to cash in. I'm looking for me some ranches and some farmland. I don't have any. I need me a couple hundred acres, ducked off with no napers. That would be cool. With some hills and some valleys. That would be cool. Little animals and shit. Just some animals and shit. Yeah, little animals and shit, little coyotes and squirrels and things of that nature. Oh my animals like that. I know, but this, you know, just part of the scenery. Well, it's your first time stopping through here, but don't let it be your last. You know exactly where we are. We're going. And come back for tax season and drop your tax commercial on here. That's what's up. Now, but I need to know, and Ryan needs to know, and Kat and everybody, we want to know when you're going to be dropping this financial advice. Soon, I'm working on it. I got to be a whole little plan and get out of that way. It's going to help. I believe it's going to help a lot of people. Put me in there with it. When you start creating the media, put me in there. All the ones that listen, like it helped them out a whole lot, either business-wise and personally. We come out with a book called, Pay Your Damn Taxes. You better. First thing, I'm looking for you. I'm looking for you, Ryan. Then we could drop another book called, Now They Looking For Your Head. And then the third one is going to be, How the hell am I going to get out this shit? Then we could drop one more. Told you I had dinner. Miss Price, well, I appreciate you stopping through the black market.
