 When I, so when we auditioned for Hammer, I wanted to be like Ice Cube. I wanted to be the member that didn't sign, but I'm gonna help y'all with whatever y'all want to. And when Hammer saw and we sang, he told the group, if he doesn't come with you, I don't want the group. So my voice came to me and he took us out to eat and gave us a hundred bucks a piece back then. You know, he was like, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. He gave us a bill, he gave us a bill. A little face. Everybody gave a hundred dollars, bought us some tennis shoes, we was like, whoo. We got us some tennis shoes too. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101, 101. Yeah, we gonna talk. I'm listening.

So my voice came to me and he took us out to eat and gave us a hundred bucks a piece back then. You know, he was like, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. He gave us a bill, that buck gave us a bill. A little face. Everybody gave a hundred dollars, bought us some tennis shoes, we was like, whoo. It's on, we got us some tennis shoes too. We got to go eat and I remember, and I remember telling my boys, I will sign only if you guys say we gonna be like brothers and we're gonna work together and be like a family. And of course, they was hungry. Yeah, we gonna do that. Well, I swear, we one for one, we together and I signed and I'm gonna tell you the reason why I'm talking about favor. My mother told me, when I went to the meeting, if the Holy Spirit tells you, do not sign, don't sign. When I got back, I ain't gonna lie, the Holy Spirit told me not to sign. I went against the Holy Spirit and I signed because I was like, well, God, these boys have been doing this for so many years. Who am I not to give them their dream if I need to sign? And when I got home, when I opened the door and my mother saw my face, my mother said, you signed. And my mother said, let's pray right now. She called my grandma and said, we're gonna pray. And I ain't gonna lie, we prayed. And I think, and I tell my mother this day, I think it's the prayers that really got me through because I could be in prison right now. I've done stuff when I was a kid that I ain't gonna lie. It's just by the grace of God that I'm still here doing my thing, because I don't have to be here. And I can tell people, highfalutin black people, oh, I lived my life, I went to college, I did this and that. But we don't understand as black people that it takes one car, one tail light to go out, one something for you to be stopped by a police officer, for them to plant something on you to do anything and you in there for life. I got homies that really didn't do the crime, but they was in the car. And because they got caught with the people they're in the car, they're doing life sentences. You know what I'm saying? But they didn't do nothing. They just said, hey, let me get in the car and jump in the car. That's what happened with my last homie from DRS. He jumped in the car with somebody and he was on parole and they was on parole. And he didn't really know. And when they drove out the parking lot, police was 10 cop cars there. Let me ask you this. You didn't ever deal with Ice Cube. I see you mentioned him a while ago. No, we went on tour at Ice Cube. You did? Yeah, I don't think Ice Cube liked my group so much. What, why? I think it's cool to me. Well, you know. It was rowdy, wasn't it? Well, no, no, no, no. There's something going on. No, no, you know what? I'm gonna be honest with you. You know what? Ice Cube and I kicked it with Ice Cube. I'm gonna be honest with you. Very intelligent. This is a true story. You can get mad at me telling this, but I'm gonna tell you. I was on tour and so, you know, we was thinking, oh, Ice Cube, you know. You know, he's it. So we went and got some 40s and got some weed and we was like, okay, we gonna go back to the hotel and kick it in. We walked in there and with a cube with a hose at it. He's like, shh, my wife is in the other home. Yeah. I was like, you married? You know what I'm saying? And I was like, he was married. And I said, hey. And he goes, he goes. He has a 40. He goes, nigga, give me some wadah. And I said, wadah. I said, what's some wadah? And he's like, it was laughing. Water, nigga. I'm drinking water. But you know, cause I was thinking, oh, he gonna be back there smoking bloods. He drinking 40s. He's doing all that. But then I realized that it's a smart brother. You know what I'm saying? He knows his audience. He knows what he's doing. He know he can't be lit all night long and make sure he watching everything and stuff like that. I mean, and some people gonna get mad at me saying this, but think about this. The number one person that owns, the number one family entertainment company, family entertainment is owned by Ice Cube. Think about that. Think about that. For that again? The number one family entertainment company as far as the movies, all that stuff, family orientated. What's the name of that company? I can't think of his name. But all the movies that he do, all those, those are all for, you know, are we there yet? All that stuff. Those are all family orientated. Things from the number one gangster in America. Think about it. Think about that. Think about that. The brother came up. He did a good job, man. He did a good, he interviewed his brother came up. His guitarist, the guy to make, do a lot of his production of Clint Payback Sands, man. Good guy. You know him? You ever heard of him? Yeah, Clint. He's out of LA. But I'm just saying, but I'm just saying, but and so that's what I'm saying. So we have a lot of perceptions sometimes. Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one, one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna talk.
