 Last week, you getting on my nerves to the fullest, you just whatever, you expelled from school, you know, you go to GD school, they done pissed you off, you done left them out of there. So it was just like, look at this shit. Block, but now I'm on the top, that's why I fuck these bad bitches and stuff my chain in my watch, cause I ain't never had shit. You see what I'm saying? Like I'm excited, but I'm just shocked because I'm watching it for a seat. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101, 101. So when he went, did he call you when he made it? He called the whole trip, cause keeping in mind, he's a baby. Yeah. I don't care what, you know what I'm saying, like at the end of the day, even getting his first tattoo, mama, what I need to put on this, and so he's still a baby, so he called, called, and what's the funny thing is that when he made it to Hattixburg, I think it was, his clothes didn't make it at the same time. So he panicked. But keep in mind, the rap battle happened the very next day of him getting to Philly. Spent the projects with just one room. So I had to sleep on the floor in the front room. Me and all my cousins on the block trying to thug. Nigga, you a schoolboy. Nigga, we was selling drugs. Wow. You know, the battle that everybody knows about. So what did he wear? He had on his clothes, but they went to the mall and yeah. Oh, he got some more clothes. I believe I'm not really even sure I hadn't even had the discussion. We queued to see what he, you know, when he had on what he had on at the rap battle, they had to buy it. I was raised so illegal. The baddest nigga in the neighborhood talking back to the niche at my house. It was real cold and lonely. My dad had been gone since four. Because I mean, his clothes hadn't made it. But him winning at $10,000, they called maybe a day or two after to say that the clothes had made it. And I was like, oh boy, you need to get down there and go get them clothes because you call me all hysterical about the clothes. Now you didn't got your little money. You don't want to go. He probably going shopping with that $10,000 and be like, I don't need these clothes. But he knew one thing. I worked my ass off for them clothes. I ain't stealing no more. So I'm going to need you to go get these clothes. You know, so we went and got them. So how long was he staying up there for? Cause you said, you know, that was a couple of days and then the clothes came. How long did he stay for? I think he was in Philly for about a week after once the rap battle happened. I think it was a few more days because then his team kind of flew up there within the next couple of days. So they might've been up there maybe, maybe a week or two. I just remember it had to be a week or two because he wasn't home for Christmas that year. Were you nervous the whole time while he was gone? I kind of wasn't cause my son a survivor. Like he, he could just, he was his mama's child. And even like being in Dallas when I would work, Snoop survived. So I really didn't have that kind of worry. You see what I'm saying? Cause nobody took care of him while you were at work. He was at home by himself. Even at eight years old, he was starting. I would just tell him, don't you answer the door. Don't you do this, don't you. So he was, I had to educate him to have him more mature just like me. It was a cycle. It's like I had to have him ready because we don't have anybody else but us. So I need you to be here. You're my team player at this point. You're not my kid. You're my team player. We got to make this work. So that's how it went. Wow, he's, yeah, that's different, man. So he went up there, he won the battle. Was he excited he called you when he won? He wanted, he called me as soon as he won. They said mama won. But the thing about it, he called me before he went in there and he said, I'm about to go perform. No, I'm going in here hella up. He said it was, because it was Ti's rap battle. I mean his Ti's album release party is what it was. So he saw I'm about to go into this rap battle. He said Amika's about to put up some money behind me and this other guy's going to put it up for his artist. And he said something about Ti. And so you know how when you're growing up, just say friends, you know, your own stepdaddy might've been Al Green, you know, your mama might've had a crush. So in them days, prior before when Snoop was like seven or eight when Ti first came out, that was like the little crush at the time just cause I was just a fan of the music more so cause I thought I was a rapper. So he, when he said Ti, I said, yo daddy Ti. You know, that was that you can have whatever you like time see. So Snoop said, that was way before then, wasn't it? Yeah, that was when he, they sat and motivation and all of him, like that whole record. You don't know me. Man, yeah. That was the one. Yeah. You know, head of the body, leader of the team. Oh man, she love it. Yeah, so that was so funny. So when Snoop said mama, get off the gas. That's not my daddy. So, you know, that was a little joke we did. But then he, I said, well, I'm going to pray that you win. And he said, man, I got that in a bag. Hmm. That confidence. 30, 40 minutes he called, he was like, I won. Man, he going that thing. What was your reaction? I was excited for him because it's like, just think about this. This was like a disbelief. Last week, you getting on my nerves to the fullest. You just whatever you expelled from school, you know, you go to GD school. They done pissed you off. You don't live from out of there. So it was just like, look at this shit. But now I'm on the top. That's why I fuck these bad bitches and stuff. My chain in my watch. Cause I ain't never had shit. You see what I'm saying? Like, I'm excited, but I'm just shocked because I'm watching the front seat. And you have to accept all of this as much as you saying, you're not going to be a rapper. You're not going to this. You're not going to that. He was determined to be what he wanted to be. How can I get in between when him and God had gone? Snoop prayed so hard and he asked God for certain things. And so who am I to stand in between what God gave him for his life? And he had a relationship with God. He definitely. So he would pray about it, about his career and everything. He got on his knees and prayed about everything. He told me, mama, sometimes you got to get on your knees and ask God for what you really want.
