 It's a unique hustle nigga, big shit, big shit, big shit, big shit, name another podcast like this. Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique hustle. It's your boy, E.C.E.O. Man, I'm here with the lovely official, Mr. Maker, and my boy, it's Brown. Hey. Man, hey man, guys, we had to do a quick one today, man. Man, we come to you, man, and we just finding out that young Dolph was killed today. We still have a little bit of a crowd right beyond the barricade there, the closest to the building where this happened, and they're still trying to see what's going on. You can see now tow trucks are being brought in. I don't have to, like I said, listen to music to really be touched by what happened. He was a success story when he made it out, but it wasn't only making it out, folks. For those who, you know, again, you may be unaware of his history, his background. What young Dolph would do is he would purchase homes, and he always said he wanted to give his son a home for his birthday, essentially. So by the time he graduated high school, he wanted his son to have almost two dozen homes. So he is essentially pumping money right back into this community. And it's crazy, man, because, man, he wasn't, but how old was he? 36? 36 years old, man. You know, this is something that, you know, we have to, man, you got to stop and just try to figure this thing out, you know what I mean? So many different things going on in the world today where people, you know, we think everything that's going on, that we just, you can't even, you can't write this stuff out, man. You don't know what's going to happen from one day to the next, man. Tomorrow's in promise. We say it all the time. Yeah, but rap music is something different, man. I hate to say it like that, man. Rap music, it channels a different energy, man. And if you're not speaking correctly and if you're dealing with these different groups of people and they're getting caught up in different situations, man, and everybody want to be the man. And next thing you know, something like this happened and now somebody mama crying, you somebody mama crying, somebody daddy crying. And that's that it messed me up when I heard this man, you know, and I like said, just it's just happening. It's crazy. I mean, one day you're here and then you go on that song. It's so real what you GK always say, man, running Spencer's song. And man, it's so true that one day you hear and then you go, how are they saying that it happened? Well, is it TMZ? TMZ, because you know, that's like, yeah, yeah, well, it's allegedly what's going on with it. So Young Dolph was just shot and killed in his hometown, according to the local reports. Fox 13 Memphis says the rapper was gunned down Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, outside of a local cookie store. And there's already a massive police presence with people recording the aftermath of video from the crime scene shows his car parked outside the shop while police investigated. Wow. Yeah, I've seen different videos coming out like crazy, man, different different people are stepping up and saying they hate it happen. Brown, man. So, Brown, you being an artist, man, man, what do you think when you first hear somebody else die like this, man? It's messed up, man. Like you're losing good artists, as you know what I'm saying, behind negative, negativity, negativity. It's like, that's the only way you people get traction when it comes to the music. Like it got to be negative. I got to get into what this do just for you to come see what's going on or like, you know what I'm saying? It's not that people don't, but it just, it's like promotion. It's like promotion. Yeah. How much promotion is it when you did, when you doff and you did? How much promotion is it then? But you know, they say all your records and everything skyrockets after you die, man, you know, and it's going to be a lot of people that come out now, man, I used to love him and man, I, and you didn't love him when he was here. They said some of the same people that that that's going to be doing this and they, they about to start this, what they going to love him so much now that he gone. That's how it be. You get more love when you go on and you. Well, let me tell you what it said about how it happened. So the source says Doff went into the store and a vehicle pulled up, firing through a front window and striking the wrapper. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, did he, did he shoot back? Cause I'm pretty sure he was prepared. They didn't say, but. You don't, if he, if they caught him off guard, no matter even if you had a pistol, depends on how many shots he already got, how are you going to shoot back? But when you think about Doff and all the stuff he done been through getting shot in LA. 2017. And then again, then his car gets shot up before that. North Carolina. And then you see this stuff fairly happening in real time to your life, man. And then I noticed he kind of declined back. He stopped, you know, even rapping about the violence after that, after he got shot. And then you look around now and something like this happened, you know, and it just, when does it stop, man? And this is so many years after that altercation. Yeah. Yeah. But the streets is real, man. Like the people out there, jealousy, envy, strife, hate. People see you riding in a Lambo and they in a Toyota. But what my question was all this time and you've always been in altercations, why not have bodyguards with you? Why not be wearing like 50 cent always having a bulletproof vest? Like why not take precautions? You know, all these people are after you. Man, you know, I'm just tired of it, bro. They said that he was there seven days or six days before they promote that story. He was there. So it was a place he was frequently going to. So whoever did that, probably like that already knew, you know, he'd be over here or whatever the situation was. You know what I'm saying? Wow. And this is the hometown. Yeah. Because I've seen a poser like, yeah, he was there six days prior to that, promote that place. I guess they sell food there or something. So back at his hometown. Back at his hometown. You see what I'm saying? A lot of time that's where it be, because that's where people know your your repetition. Like, yeah, you circulate a lot. You know, the great boost, you made the statement that, you know, in your own town is usually, you know, where it goes down to be honest with you. And I'm paraphrasing, but man, when you look at everything that's been transpired in the year that we're in today, you know, coming off the top, you know, you had all the different people that's getting killed at a very young age, man, and all of them are related to rappers, man. Rappers is the new that's that's that's the new thing that that that people are body in, man. No, you know, this this this is crazy. You know, when you look at all the people that have been shot, everybody getting shot. When you look at all of, I mean, from dying to getting shot, yellow beads are getting shot. Trap boy, Freddie getting shot. Mothry dying on the highway. Is it a part of the right? Then what's the other guy down there that that that that died? What would not? Duckie P. Duckie P. Getting getting killed. The other guy that was in the one from Chicago, the one that was going with the girl Asian doll. What's his name? The boy with the brain. King Vaughan. If the list goes on and these people just keep getting and it goes all the way from from Mothry to Nipsey Hustle getting killed in front of the store. These people got to stop this, man. It's got to stop. It got to stop, bro. Because when you look at it, it's it's it's got to be some related to the music, the gun, the talking about it. It's got to be some related to the music. Bunch of. OK, you know, I'm always playing devil advocate. But play whatever. But no, but listen to this. Listen to this, right? You say it has to be for the music and so forth. I'm not saying no. It probably is. But then all of the other people who are dying from gang and all of these other things, because they're not in the limelight like these rappers are, we're not hearing about it and feeling it the way how we're feeling it for them. That's true. But when you look at the the opportunity that they afford it, when you look at what they're, you know what I mean, the man, that other boy, the one got killed in California, the one was from New York, but he was in Arabian be pop smoke. Pop smoke. When you look at all these different people with the afforded opportunities that they have and you're going to hear some songs from doff start to come out now and you're going to hear some music. And now everybody, this is something. This is a spirit of devination where people are called up and they don't even realize it, that they're enjoying the moment after somebody died and it becomes a habit forming thing. I agree to where everybody used to it. It's a normal thing to celebrate right after somebody died with a hit song. And that's bad, bro. Each one of them, man, our people are dying. They either in jail or they're getting killed on these streets. And it's sad, bro. It's sad. I don't know how we changed that narrative. How do we change that? I think people got to change that within themselves. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of times it really maybe somebody gets successful and then you get these haters or maybe you already had some beef before and they want to get you at your position, whether it's in jail or death or however it is, but they want you at your position. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm just naming, you know, it was T.I. had that artist down in Alabama that died, you know, back in the gap. The other boy, the great, the other guy, the great as well. Shut it low. No, this was a big dude. He had a song with T.I. I can't remember the name. No, it was in Alabama. It was, it was, it was a big, bigger guy. Tim Nim had took him under their wing, man. And he was, he was on to come up too. And they killed him. What I'm saying is when you start to get these afforded opportunities to hate the envy and the strife, it just sanitize at your door. It knocks and it comes right in, man. And it's sitting on your porch. Now you're looking at somebody in a casket and your mama dying and your dad is crying. And it's sad, bro. We just had a water two live on it. That's why it hit home. Because when people die like that, and you know that they had great potential, it just kind of, it's just, it's just the most annoying thing, bro. It was like, man, like Mo3, he had a lot of talent. Man, Mo3 was, I mean, that outside song, you still, like I said, you get a hit right after that. And everybody's cool with it, man. Young Dolph was, was, was an independent. He had just, when you start going back and forth with a soldier boy, they just started doing, and I'm, I'm hoping that was on wax, but we don't know what's going on because the internet, it pretty much, it takes and it illuminates something that you don't know what's going on. It watered down. It hides it in this instance. It amplifies it in this instance. And you just caught in the middle in the grave thinking what you want to think. And these people got to come up with a way to, to get our people in better situations than what they in, man. But isn't that also a media period? Because doesn't the news do the same thing where they show you what they want to show you? They don't show you everything? Yeah, but the news is different in a sense that when you look at these, see the news try to hide different things just the same way, but they, they propped it up a different way. And certain things from back in the days, they didn't show on TV. Now you get a video with young Dolph or whoever allegedly on hanging out the window or something of a store. And they showing this on national TV. Or you see somebody that get killed on Facebook and blood spurting out of them and they bleeding out. And this is stuff that's happening in real time. And you seeing this and you don't know what to think. You don't even know if it's a fake interview. I mean a fake post where somebody just took some footage and said this was that. This is a crazy world that we live in. And we got to come up with some way better to scope it, man. And I asked God to give us the, you know, the ability to start seeing through those, those, those, those dim dark tunnels that we keep having to look at because people are dying. And that's the crazy part. So, you know, man, you know, I just don't know. I don't know what to say. You see, we way how the world is, you know, we want knowledge. We want all of this, but you can't pick and choose the type of knowledge, the type of this, the type of that. When you get it, you get everything on social media. You can't say, well, I can't, I just wanted this or I just wanted that. You're gonna get it all. Yeah, man, like I said, man, he had his issues with whoever, you know, and, and, and shout out to your guy and all those guys, man, you know, Memphis, hey, Memphis got a lot of talent and it pushed Shiesty locked up. You know, when you start looking at what's going on with these people, man, is it really worth it to kill somebody? Is it really worth it for somebody to lose their life behind a simple beef that maybe could have been, something could have been discussed to where somebody could still keep their life? You see what I'm saying? Is it really, really worth it? But people who do things like that, they're doing it because of whether just in a moment or out of respect for their clique or whatever. I don't know. Or I think it's, I don't think nobody, they're not putting the trigger. They paying these young dudes and telling these dudes to do stuff. It's people behind the scenes pulling moves, I believe, in a sense, it ain't just the frontliners. Most of the time, people are getting the key putting they back. Most of the time, niggas getting influenced by the internet just by what they see and they start trying to figure out a way to be a part of something so you can be great and be famous, you know what I mean? Or retaliate. They killed Nipsey Hussle, I think Holder, whoever. You know, just anything, just people just dying, bro. And people just coming out and now they famous in a negative way. What hope do we have for the youth if we keep on doing the things that we doing to try to help change the narrative of the next generation? You see what I'm saying? This is crazy, man. But I just wanna say condolences to the family. He left behind a daughter and a son. And condolences, I'm gonna keep them all in my prayers. Yeah, yeah, we gotta keep them in our prayers, bro. Bro, what I mean, what, like, how does this make you look at the way, cause you a rat or audience. I'm glad I got you on the platform. What does, I mean, what do we do, man? Cause we know that you're projecting and I go right back into the fact that you're projecting one thing, but you're putting an art out there, an art form. How do we better describe what's happening in the process? Like, what do you mean? For as, when you rap, you just rapping about certain things and it's on wax. It may not be even a realistic thing, but then people that are influenced, they take it as, this is how you live it to be famous cause they wanna be famous or they wanna be popular. How do you? And you're not saying it's fake because you have to put on that persona to make it seem like it's real because you don't want anybody, cause I've heard rappers say, I don't want people to look at me like I'm fake, so I gotta do this, you know, I gotta get that persona. Man, like me personally, man, I just rap. But you rap because you've lived a real life, you've been through a lot, you know what I mean? So it's easy for, you know, most of these cats ain't never even been locked up. I spoke on that before. And I said that, you know, these niggas ain't never been faced no time and they ain't done none of this stuff. I don't say it's the most fakeest stuff around here. Yeah, but I've seen some real too because of places I've been and the things I've been, but then that's the difference when you really done seen some things and lived a little bit, you see this stuff, man, and now you see the DQ's playing with it. Now Dolph, he was what, he didn't make it 40 to be 40 years old, 36 years old, that's tough, man. I wanna say, man, I'm gonna keep his family my prayers, but man, I'm telling you, man, we gotta do something, man. Shout out to Keyglock, man, and all them guys. I know they going through it right now. And I wanna say that some people will say, why pray for them? Because you don't even know them. But at the same time, when we were going through COVID, why pray for the whole nation? No. You know what I mean? You can't go about what people say. I'm just, you know, addressing that because at the same time, your mother and you have kids, you know what it would feel like. You know what I mean? Definitely, man. Yeah, yeah, man, and we will, you know, we'll speak on it as a story, you know, unfolds even more, man. We'll try to keep the people that watch this platform updated on the things that we see come out about this, man. But guys, we got it, as I said before, we gotta do better. We gotta do better as a culture. We gotta do better as a people, man. It ain't so good, and it ain't so bad for us to do better. Mm-hmm. Man, hey, man, holler at your boy, man. Some people don't want to see us do better. No, man, it's a unique hustle, man. Holler at your boy, man. Boss talk one-on-one, man. We out, man. Then we out.
