And he was in the paper with the argument with Faithful Jersey going to jail with the Yellow Goose song. Oh, so he didn't play you? OK. That's all I remember. Nah, he just, he was just moving me out the way, not to highlight him. But I was like, all right. I'm going to see him again? Yeah, 20 years later, I got my just due. Did? You know what I mean? I got my 20, you know? Later on, I got the. So C's was holding him down like that? I ain't never heard nobody tell a story like this before. Nah, everybody hold a man down. I just felt like I got the Brooklyn Bullshit on my arm. Because he was younger. Yeah, but I got the Brooklyn Bullshit on my arm. Did? So that was supposed to be the code. You know, Big said, Brooklyn Bullshit, that's the honor. That's like, you know what I mean? I'm a Detroit nigga. I see me each and I got on the BMF. That's eight. I'm just going to highlight me. I don't want to fuck with that nigga. I got the whole BMF out for the honor. Look what you mean? What type of shit is this? You feel me? One hundred. One hundred. Right, right. What do you got us just do? Word, word, word, word. So like, who did you meet? Like, how did you get there? What's it to play to him? No, to play in the role of the greatest. Oh, that's just gravy. The whole, you know, the whole journey of trying to get my shit off the floor and be me. And then it just, it just happened. Like Puff was like, yo, man, I want you to play big. Wayne Barrow was like. When he see you at, how you, you, you guys, you're just giving over a bunch of shit. Now I was always around Puff. Man, I go up there every day just to get on him, man, before the cheesecake, before the walking and all that shit. Before all that. That shit bullshit. Yeah, that's the bull, the band, that shit was bullshit. Man, you know what I mean? I was up there every day, every night, waiting for the man to come out of Daddy House. Like, I'm gonna see this nigga with this tape. Have my little cassette, my little CD. You know what I mean? Me and Finn Rock, we in the car, the SC 400 Lex Coupe, and we sitting waiting for Diddy to come out of Daddy House with the bodyguards were off with Paul, the uncle Paul. I didn't matter, we was gonna see him. And I see him at night and one day, he pull up with a, he had a new artist at the time. He had the North Carolina light blue Phantom and he pull up and it was Sean Poe. Oh wow. Right, so I'm like, oh man, that's the dude that sound like big eye, cool. But I'm trying to get a Diddy. He in the other side of the car. So I said, well, did he get out? I'm gonna go around the car and holler at him. So I run around Sean Poe all love homie, but I'm trying to get a Diddy dog. Boom. Hey, look, I need you to hear this, man. It's Gravy, bop bop bop. He like, I, I, I, I, I'm gonna check you out. I said, look, I'm gonna come up here eight day, man. To one day you're gonna take the CD, take this cassette and you're gonna hear it. And he like, I, I, I'm gonna hold you to it. I go eight day to this point where Harv and D Rock starts saying, yo, great downstairs, man, the boy downstairs, faithfully, man, like clockwork, just faithfully. Months, months in, rain, sleets, now I'm outside. So hold on, you knew what time he was gonna be there every day? No, I didn't know. I ain't know. This was, he was sporadically there. I mean, everybody used to have Daddy House at certain times. 100%. Def Jam down the block. Everything that happened in the city. So I'm gonna waste some time. I'm gonna go over here about 40, 40 baseline, 26th Street. Give me seven to eat and I'm gonna go back to Daddy House. I'm gonna run around till I see the stars, man. I'm gonna run around the city and that little perimeter till I see Violet Records on 26th, 4040s on the corner, Daddy House down on six and seven. So I'm gonna make my way, but we gonna hustle till we, till we, you know, get seen or get heard. We sat down with Irv Gotti before he did murder and he thought about it. You know what I mean? Us in the franchise, me, Red Cat, Fane, Cutie Kid, I was in a group. And it was called a franchise. Yeah, the franchise, yep. So tell it on my own. So, you know, we was trying, man. We just trying to get on, but we was hungry. So when you're hungry, you're getting people's face. You know what I'm saying? Persistence is key, you know what I mean? Don't be aggravating, don't be a bugger bull. We ain't bugging you, you know what I mean? We coming to you honorably, you know what I'm saying? Hey, my man, we trying to let you hear it.

You know what I mean? Consistency, that's it. Until you get enough of us and seeing us so much, you just be like, damn, let me listen to this thing. So finally he listened to me. He, Puff, let's tell you, made us come upstairs to Daddy House and we was in it. And he liked the flow, he liked the sound and we rocked from there. We went up doing the song, same night, me and him. We put it on the violator, John. And then we moved around. He called me back to do a pastor, Kovalski with Busta Roms and wrote on that. So we was rocking. So you started writing for him also? Yeah, we was writing. We was rocking. But the funny thing is, he ain't even know I sat in his back seat before with him and D-Mack with one of my brothers, my real brother, had, they had a tournament in Jersey when Naughty by Nature was popping, when Treachery was popping. And they was on top of the world. So they had a tournament with Chris Webber and a bad boy tournament. And my brother was playing in the tournament. So he left his car and we jumped in with Diddy. And diddy ain't know me at that time. It's a little nigga in the back seat behind him while D-Mack drove his coupe, four door. Yeah, and we was chilling. He don't even know I was there though. Wow. God to put you in position before the plan was even the plan. Right. You see what I'm saying? That time I wasn't even thinking about rapping. I was trying to play some ball.

And so you telling me, and then let me know if I'm putting words in your mouth or not, all of them told Puff like, hey, homeboy to be coming out here in front of here every day. What you think about him for big? Nah, that didn't happen. It didn't work like that. It would have more work like things happen. West Coast, East Coast was beefing. Things was going on, man. Things happened all through my journey. It was nasty, you know what I'm saying? It was nasty. Snoop coming to New York, probably just getting shot up. Just the whole ordeal was bad business. You was around that stuff? Yeah, I was a rapper trying to, yeah, on the ground rapper named Gray trying to do my thing, but we still, we all took it in. We all roll with big. Whatever big gonna do, we gonna do. You know what I'm saying? So we all stayed tuned to, that was our Shakespeare, you feel me? So we follow what protocol is. You know what I'm saying? I got a little baby right now. People be asking me, yo, what you think about a little baby? I'm like, the boy is hard. You know what I'm saying? The boy is gonna be something special. You know what I'm saying? The boy got the chance to be like Hove. I mean, when it comes to the A, he can't be that Hove. Like, you know, people don't wanna say E too young. Y'all my nigga, fuck all that. He doing the numbers. That's right. It ain't about how young he was. Nigga, the boy hit. That's right. Can't say he not it. Now he carry it straight, 10 years strong, 10 summers straight, and he follow the blueprint that Future was doing. Future had it, had it. Future had it. And then even Future tell you, like, yo, when I had, yo, what's happening? Hey, I gotta get the little baby. Right. Well, he had it. Everybody get their shot, my G. Everybody get their shot. Yeah. Speaking of shot, John Marin. Exactly. He got it. Word. About to blow it, but he got it. Yeah, yeah. He got it. He just gotta get it right. He gotta get it right, bro. He gotta get it right. Yeah. And nothing more gangster than having that bag. That nothing. You know what I'm saying? He trying to do something else to get, that's the little win, the fact that the bag is the most gangster shit in the world. It's like he don't believe he really had it. I ain't gonna get the bag three times. Got a max, got a pension, he's young. You know what I mean? So he, to me, he's the new AI. To me. No. On opinion. No, 100%. Bad mistakes, bro. Yeah. You feel me? So there you have it. People are more lenient these days. I like that. Not with that thing in that camera. You know what I'm saying? Because you gotta think kid-wise. So every kid that wanna be like Mike, the older kids that wanna be like John Moran. Yeah, but. Then I see John Moran. I'm a kid, I'm a young boy. My pops in the house, he chillin. He got guns all over the house. I see John Moran hold a gun. Yeah. Now I wanna go to pop. I was always telling him to hold a gun. But the problem with kids nowadays, is they'll listen to an athlete or a celebrity before they listen to their own family. Of course. Like you're not him. You see what I'm saying? Even though it's disrespect of my time, because our pops and moms were better than any athlete. So they went away and none of that. Pop Dukes is the man in the house. What the hell? What they been saying though? These new kids ain't hearing that. They're like, hey, I'm listening to him. But why you think that is though? It's social media. Okay. It's social media. All the ass popping, the titties, the Lincoln shit leaking and bitches dying and shit. That's all part of the social media. You gotta be within yourself. You gotta love yourself for who you are. That's right. And once you love yourself, you can give up all the Jews in the world. Like nobody in the room knew who I was when I came in here. They got an idea of, oh, that's the guy who probably played Biggie or the Tubi nigga. But they didn't know I was this funny or this cool. When I leave here, I left something that everybody in this room and I think it's a cool nigga. Right. But that ain't designed by me. That's designed by God. Come on now. Now you appreciate it. You see what I'm saying? I could have came in here on some Hollywood shit, stunk it up, but I came in here, you my man, and you gave the energy for me to give you the new energy. Word, word, word. You see what I'm saying? Word. Right. I'm here for you, bro. I'm here for you. That's how it's supposed to be. Yeah, yeah, 100%. But when we start getting out with every nigga that's around us and every other woman who we start to kill the hate and start spreading the love, we on. That's right, 100%. Once we all put each other on. That's right. But I don't want to be the guy, I don't want to be in front of the light pushing that. Even though I love it, I just know my people, you don't want to be the leader, Malcolm X is the leader. That's right. My love, Martin Luther King, like when you lead, you got to be prepared for that pressure. I don't want the pressure. I don't want the pressure. I tell my people what I can, but I don't want to lead because one of these soft ass goofy niggas gonna put me under. That's right. Make my play. So I'm going to chill out. Feel me? I don't want to lead that. Niggas, I don't want to lead. I don't want to be in the back of my nigga. The word, word, word. Back seat, wonderful. I don't want to be in front too much too. Too many eyes on you. Word. I had just seen this special with Angie Martinez about Big Man and talking about the whole life after death project and how he didn't get a chance to even hear the finished product of that. How he didn't get to enjoy it. That's kind of crazy to me. You know, to put together a masterpiece like that, that ain't even got no skips on it. And this is just to go to a credit of how dope he was. Right. You know what I'm saying? Unbelievable. And he never write it down. But the only thing that I cannot understand and I just got to leave it alone. I really got to leave it alone and stop trying to get them understand it. Which one? I don't get why after the whole thing with Tupac dying and stuff. Why did he go back to LA that soon? I don't get it. Because people don't understand the love is real. You know what I'm saying? The love between him and Pac was real. Like, Pac's not even an LA nigga, man. Pac is from Baltimore. Pac is an East Coast nigga. Yeah, but you know perception is reality. Yeah, but you can't take it from us. Pac is an East Coast nigga. No matter how you take it. Now y'all lost Pac, bro. Now we ain't losing. Y'all lost him. He says edge and everything he was was East Coast. I don't care how you switch it, pick it up, try to duplicate it, that's where he from. He didn't feel like that. Only because things, like I said, just what I was just telling you about being in front. Yeah. Being in people faces. I don't want to deal with that because niggas is dirty. Big had no idea that Pac was even coming to that studio or any way around anything. If you watch the movie, you hear Big telling him the jewels. Like, yo, you messing with? Yo, you hanging with? Right. Yo, you moving like, that was a real love. And then you hear Pac this. I'm like, this is the same nigga you used to sleep on my couch. It was homies at one time. The love was real. It's just the other niggas, the middle man got in the way, man. And when you let niggas get in the way of what's happening, shit goes left, man. Everybody got a story to tell. You know what I'm saying? Everybody is, people in the middle. Niggas that don't belong in the middle. Yeah. Get in the middle and it just twists it all all kind of ways. So you feel like, for instance, you played this role man and like really getting involved in it and learning about who this guy was. Did it kind of put you in a space too where you were like, man, I need to solve this mystery. No, I don't get it. You never felt that way. No, I don't get into stuff that ain't my lane. That's why they call me gravy and I'm solid. So you was able to detach? I just, it's just not proper etiquette to do that. Like if I meet somebody and we chilling and they say something about a situation, like say I go on a date with a bra or something like that. She telling me about problems. We already blew this date. You dig, I'm gonna say I'm not here for your problem, here for you. Right, right, right. Let me attend to ask you about your problems, right? But at the same time, I'm still a lovable dude. So she might say some shit about Pampers or Milk or some crazy shit. We gonna do out there and we gonna do what we do. And my mind is saying, gonna work is already too many problems that I don't want. But at the same time, before she get back to the crib or whatever, I'ma leave something somewhere, somehow like she might get back, maybe her key, her dress, she'll lift it up. That's for the kids. Ain't really even for you, it's about them. Cause I was one of them. You see what I'm saying? So at the end of the day, you gotta move without, sometimes you ain't gotta say much, man, to be that nigga in the room, dog. That's right. You ain't really gotta do all the boasting and popping bottle and label hunting. And I don't even wear labels for my niggas. Well, I got some joints on, but I don't even, I make the clothes I put on, I don't gotta do all. I'm too big not to see me in the club anyway. You know what I mean? That's his old school shit. No, I'm with you on it. You know what I'm saying? Remember when we came up with the niggas coming to the club, he got a pair of sweats on, a pair of crispy uptowns, white tee, clean as hell. Got all the money that everybody else in this joint. That's right. We were low key, we were never in front of the camera. We used to hate the camera. Now niggas wanna get on the camera and tell you the whole joint. I got the clip, I got the switch, I got 40 clock, I got 10 break. Where you do that for, where we ever did that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ralo, like you see what I'm saying? Like where we do that at? We ain't never did that. So, you know, we lost touch with a lot of things, but I'm still in tech. I'm gonna stay the old school way. It's just better for me. I'm comfortable in that, doing that. Word, word, word, word. So you get the acting bug, man, after you playing big and everything. What happens, cause a lot of people would think that you would get a role like that and you was like, it's hard for you to get a role. No, no, that's just, you know what? That's some of the haters, man. You know, haters would do that, tell you something. You know how you got that one nigga that get in your car and tell you how fly your car is? And if he had it to do it, he wouldn't have did this car, this color and this shit right here. If he had it to do it? Yeah, yeah, cause he always get the nigga, hey man, I like your watch, your watch is hard, but I'm sure I would have bought a different band. All right, he ain't got a near watch. Or you're getting a car, man, this shit right here, man. Why you didn't try out the other? Man, where's your car? You see what I'm saying? You're always gonna get that hate, slight touch. Man, you know what I mean? So it's just something you gotta adapt to. You know, you clear, gotta clear them though. You know what I'm saying? I used to run around with 30, 40 nigga. I used to do all that. If you go to internet, C grade, I used to move with all that. This shit, it might be two, three people with me, man. Cause it ain't authentic. So when something happened, the nigga's gone. Soon as that paper stopped coming in, nigga's just nowhere to be found. Look at me, Mill, used to be heavy as hell. I'll be on the ground, I'm still a fan. I got, damn, it's the shoulders of the niggas around this nigga now, ain't it? After the jail, after the bid, used to be 30, 40, where it is, where it is, and where it is. Right, gotta get rid of, he'll move it out. 50 used to be like that. That's right. Super deep, that's my man. Anybody, that's my man. Say what you want to say about Gray, he gonna tell you, that's my man. Me and that nigga went through all types of studios trying to think, how we gonna get rich, attract masters before Columbia, before he blew everybody. You know what I mean? Really? Yeah, we was in the, Man, you ain't never told me that. Man, we was in a joint, man, trying to get our heads. It's like, how can we make it? We were gonna make it. Then I seen him, we had the same manager, Chris Lighty. That's right. Then I seen him later on, as he made his way, and I made my way. I seen him later on on the plane one time, and I was like, yo, what up? We hugged, blah, blah, blah, we chopped it up. I said, what's up, man? He said, man, the paper different. I said, I see. He said, nah, Gray, the paper is different. I said, damn, nigga, he said get the paper, I said, I'm happy for you. You know what I'm saying? Same thing with Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar was J-Rock's hype man. That's right. For one time. That was my man, though. I was still big gravy doing me, but when I met him, it wasn't all that. Now I see Kendrick, I be like, yo, can I highlight you, my bro? The nigga be like, ah, gravy was always 100 from the dark, right? Same thing with Chris Brown, 19 years old. I'm in Miami. Tina Davis was managing. That's right. Brought him through. Hey, gravy, this nigga hot, boom, boom, boom. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, damn, you got something. She let me hear something. I said, oh, that nigga, that nigga. Now when I see these same people, they know before any paper, Callet, Ross, any paper, I was always 100. So you can't give me nothing else new or whatever that paper done took. You're gonna give me the same you because I'm giving you the same me. That's just how you rock. The 100%. 100. Hey man, I got some help today and whatnot. The I team, I like to call them. Okay. Yeah, yeah, I got my home girl, Bortney and Chrissy. And when I got a couple of questions and everything. Oh, cool. Yo, Chrissy, go ahead and jump it off. All right. In your past relationships, what lesson has stuck with you the most? And relationship, I mean, as it could be another significant, sorry, significant other female or it can be a relationship, someone that you worked with necessarily don't have to be someone you was in a relationship with. What stuck with me the most? Yeah. At the age I am now, discipline. So what does discipline mean to you? Don't go for everything that everybody else go for. Go for somebody who love you. No matter what they look like, she can look like precious nigga. She love me, I'm loving her. It's a better fit for you. So you saying your girl look like precious? No, no, my wife is gorgeous. Okay, cool. Yeah, but I'm just saying that at the end of the day, you got to go for what love you. So not a time nigga want to chase something that's eye candy and it's all that. And it's cool, no shade to the eye candies. But how much work you got to put in for the eye candy? Mm-hmm. You did? Mm-hmm. You got to have somebody who ain't a quarter or a dime, they're eight, but they're still bad, a bad eight. Eight is dope, eight is dope, nigga. A bad eight of killers. Yeah, I take an eight. Bad eight of killer quarter. You see what I'm saying, a bad eight of killer quarter. Yeah, I have that. She just love you. She just love you. She just know what to do for you. That's all that matters. Cause once you got that, you don't need nothing else. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? It seems like at times our eyes are a part of the devil and the demon. That's right. When you see something and you're gone for it, but it ain't really what you see. And even her, she bought that. Yeah. Yeah. So already, you feel me? Right, right, right. You know age and time and time. That's all I'm gonna tell you what you need to be doing. Because if something happen to you when you start getting older, diabetes, arm, legs, limbs, you lose something, and she's still gonna stay with you if you have to lose something. That's right. Mom riding, like I was just telling her the other day, like, yo, I did a 10-year bid. What's gonna happen? She said, well, shit, we're gonna ride that 10-year bid. Now, that to me is enough for me. You believe her? Oh, no, I know. Okay. She gonna ride that 10-year bid. Okay. I'm serious, it'll never be fucked up. That's what I'm talking about. I mean, niggas know what time it is with me. You go to my IG, see what my wife is. She do the biggest real estate in the city. You can't even go around her. Damn. Right. So you can't tell me nothing about that one. Like that. I can see anything right now, niggas, it's gonna happen. You know what I wanna do for my people, man? I wanna, this is just something that I hope can make. If I was president, I would let, if you got somebody that really love you and you went to prison, I let them go with you. That's what I wanna make it happen for my people. Oh, that's all. Go with you. You know what I'm saying? Don't fear the dumb. But it's all. I'm gonna take care of the kids. I'm gonna take care of them. But it's all. Let's go to prison with you two. Yup. Bug it. Yup. But think about it. Come on, bro. Let's go. Come on, man. Bone County it is. Yup. But think about it. No, Alton. We ain't done that jail. But think about it. We talking about prison, baby. Prison, prison. That's right. Think about every time you look at IG, all the women that be having these stories about this nigga. They love this nigga to death. That's right. Right? That's right. And the nigga always shit on him. Right? Nigga always shit on him. Always go somewhere left. Then the second thing is every nigga that have a bad broad when he go left, the bitch ain't never batted in a bitch he left with. You ever noticed that? You watch a nigga leave what he had and go to something new. It ain't never batted in what he had. The right. So I'll be like, God, damn, this shit look backwards to me. What does it mean? This motherfucker look like something else right here. What is he doing? What does that mean? Yeah. Niggas just don't be knowing what they doing, dawg. It just, it just. I don't know what they want. It's just crazy. When you look at the white feet on the X and then you look at the new one you like, you post the upgrade, right? Yeah, yeah. God, damn. Yeah, you, but I look at it like he taking a bad bitch break. You taking a bad bitch break. You like that for that? Mm-hmm. Woo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometime you need a break from bad bitches. You know what I'm saying? No, I don't know about that. You just need a bad bitch break. No, I don't know, who told you that? You got to just goddamn stretch out. Like, you know what I'm gonna go ahead, you know, just exhale. Shit. You exfoliating and whatnot. You evolving because you looking what's on the inside. Because like you said earlier, some people bad bitches on the inside. It starts from the inside. It starts from the inside. Come on now. Forever. You see, come on. Listen, you got to go through things, man. You need time. That's right. Because without the time, I don't know if I'm, I don't know until situations pop up how you're going to respond. So I got to see it. That's right. And if that name is small and everything is always good, I'm never gonna see the bitch you really are. That's right. You know what I'm saying? So I got to see shit, the things that happen. If she really love you, she's gonna let you, she's gonna ride. She's gonna let you move in with her. It's just like, she's gonna let you whoop her kids. It's just like... What's good? It's just like, certain things is a pattern. Right. Like we used to always have a pattern of how we move. When I get in the car, I let her in already. That's right. I get in the car, what she supposed to do. Before I get in the car, she should be reaching over. Before I can get to my door, right? Mine do that. You're saying, but those are old rituals. You see what I'm saying? It ain't about like when I wake up, I got to tell you that I'm hungry or nothing. It's already dead. That's right. Remember when we was coming up, women worked that kitchen. And I'm saying that women got to be in the kitchen. That's right. Just saying what we were used to as a man, we go get that bag and bring the bag home. That's right. Now the new chicks, they want to be out and about just like we are, getting their own bag. That's right. And still want to come home and get your bag. And get your bag. Right. Now that don't work with me though. I don't understand that. I don't get that. I don't float. That's confusing to me. Then that must mean, because I'm going to do, I got to take responsibility for all of it. Okay. Until you do some shit like that. Okay. Now if you going to do that, then you're going to go 50-50. That's right. Because now you insulting what I'm trying to do. That's right. Because I'm used to the, I would take more pampering than you being all out and about. That's right. But I'm out hard working and I come home and I can't get nothing. That's right. Now you couldn't make me no ramen noodle, nothing. Nothing. It would take five minutes to give me some ramen. It's not even five. And if you know how to do it right, you know what I mean? That's right. Add a little cream, a little cheese, a little sauce, you know what I mean? Hook a nigga up, I ain't beefing. They got the shrimps it's already done. They throw it inside. If you do it, it's a blessing. If you don't do it, then I'm like, then this don't work for me. That's right. You know what I mean? So it's just different things. Just different things. No, no, you ain't saying nothing wrong. You ain't saying nothing wrong. Too many niggas out here worry about ego. Yeah. Damn, my woman make more than me. I'm flipping. Shit, not me. You give me a woman who make more than me. I'm all in. That's right. You going to flip that money she got. That's what you're going to do. That's what you're going to do. Hey, baby, listen. You stress about what? Some niggas stressing you out? I ain't on the niggas. You can head out and do what you got to do. I ain't worried about nothing. I don't have to. If somebody is stressing you out, we're going to call the police on that day. I'm not worried about none of that. Get them off the streets. I'm steadying them in the cuffs. I ain't worried about none of that. Yeah, I ain't steadying the music. Yeah, yeah, come on. Ego, where the ego at, man? That's our problem, the ego. Bruh, I ain't too proud to call the police. Man, I ain't too proud to call them that. I don't want to sit in that joint. And I'm not, I don't want to sit in the joint because I'm nervous or I'm scared. I'm worried about another nigga taking mine. No. I ain't worried about nothing. I'm worried about that bored of them. Yeah. You understand me? Bored, damn. It'd be so boring in jail, right? Like, what the fuck? Yes. Can I possibly do an in-self for this law? Bruh. To be sitting here looking at this nigga. This nigga, you got to shout with him. It ain't no women in prison. No, I see O's and it's bad. See O's in the joint. Yeah. But I'm saying, I don't want to wait for that. I just don't want to be in that. Yeah. Then I love my daughter too much. I can't be in that. I've been there, done that, but that ain't, it ain't about the scary shit. It's about the bored them. It's super bored them. You just waiting to eat lunches in there. And these young boys taking them numbers. Yeah, they do. Like, even when I was in Cab County, the niggas just taking them numbers. Yeah. 20, 15, 30. I'm talking to the young boys. Like, yo, what up? They're like, yo, aunt, yo, aunt. Damn, what you doing in here? Uncle, I'm like, man, some bullshit. They see what it is. They know it's bullshit. I'm in there, some bullshit. What y'all doing with the niggas doing, man? Hey, yo, aunt. You know, I got Robbry or Aunt, a nigga hit my mom. I'll put them down, aunt, or some shit, all type of shit that don't make no sense, right? Yeah, yeah. And then I said, you know what I'm saying? Well, what you think you gonna do after the time? You put an aunt, that little dime, that little 20 ain't none. Aunt, when I get out, I'm gonna start rapping. I'm gonna hold you for 22. Yeah. I'm like, 20 years from now, you think we still gonna be talking about pro-tools and rap? Hey, I'm gonna come out, man, I'm gonna get on up. Yeah. Man, to me, your life is over. Yeah. That's a whole shit. But you didn't show that though, right? Nah, nah, I don't never take they hopeful. No, no, you, yeah. Because they hope it's... You're gonna let that nigga believe, nigga rap. Nah, let him believe what he want, but I'm still gonna put into you what you need to hear. Yeah. Like, yo, man, you need to, you know what I mean? Cause you gotta think. Like, start right now, nigga. Yeah, oh, that's dope, nigga. I mean, just to keep 100. You gotta see when he gonna see the judge. Yeah. Like, I'm in cab with a lot of young boys that's wild as hell out on these streets. And the reason they love me is cause they see me in their hoods. That's right. They hold from it. If I was at Fulton County, I see some of them pass through there, Rice Street, see them pass through. So I'm in there and they seein' me and they not with all the biggie shit, they with the unks shit, cause they see me with Shooter, running around in their gambling spots. That's right. So they see me every day, so it's not like, this is something new. Nah, that's big, he be in the zone. Jonesboro, he be in La Corolla, he be at the up sessions, he be at Crucials, he be at the barn yard, Citrus stage, he be in Atlanta. Yeah, yeah. So we already know him. Right. You know what I mean? He catch me at the light on 14th Street. The water boys love me. That's right. I tip out. Not by everything they have. Yeah. And get back to him. Don't drink that shit. Nah, I just rock with him cause I was one of them. You know what I'm saying? I was one of them. The top was out of one of mine. And I was like, nigga, I'm in the top of it. Did you get a little bit of this already? Yeah. But you know, you know how I move. I know, bro, 100% man. Hey, you know, once again, man, I didn't come by myself today, man. I got the I team here with me. Yeah, she got another question. Cause there ain't no I in team. Right. You hear me? As a matter of fact, it is I in team. Yo, uh, Boydney. Um, I have a question. What you okay? I want to know what do you think is the most challenging part of your career? Oh, challenging part. I don't know. Maybe I'm still looking for something that's going to be challenging. I think for me, It's so easy. Nah, I'm, I'm a, I mean, it's easy for me, but you know, it might not be easy for everybody else. That's how I know I'm doing the right thing. If something, you try to do something and it don't work for you and if somebody else does and it works for them, that means you doing the wrong thing. Like, you know, everybody can't be a bottle girl. Everybody can't be a real estate person. Everybody can't be, you know, cause I run across that all day. Like, yo, my name, hey, my name is system. Here's a car I do real estate. So I say, all right, cool. How many houses you sold, bro? Just, you know, just to pick your brain before I even take the car. Well, you know, I've been doing that for four years. I ain't selling on houses yet. I don't need the car. Like I'm not the guinea pig. I don't need the car. Like, you know what I'm saying? Certain things just gotta make sense because you lose energy. Now I got my hopes up thinking I'm gonna take this car, you that guy and you ain't that guy. Just give me to the guy. You know what I mean? And then people, you know, when you walk the street, I used to look at Busta and Jay-Z and be like, damn, my niggas don't never stop on the street for nobody. What the fuck is that, man? Hollywood shit, it's Kearney. What you think he's doing, man? I want to stop one of them niggas. You know what I mean? 100%. But now I understand what it means. Word. The energy, dawg. That's right. It's just, you can't give everybody your energy. No, you don't. I ran through Barna brothers. Wow. Because walking in there with all of them, it's just anarchy when I do it. But I wanted to see and I realized, years ago when he was doing Barna, I realized you can't, that energy? Yeah. Hey, can I get a picture? All right, I can get a picture. Oh, my auntie want one too, my cousin. Everybody come, come. Like it gets to a point where it's just too much on the energy to stop every second and give everybody that love. And everybody only love you like that. Right, right. You'll find out that when you say no. Yeah, when you say no for a picture, you'll find out what's really going on. Oh, this fuck nigga, this nigga got one movie time. This fuck nigga got one movie. This nigga, who the fuck? Right, so I know your attention already. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So you gotta go with the flow. You just gotta move how you want to move. Yeah. But I'm telling you, jumping your ass. When you tell them no, hey, this ain't gonna happen. Just keep it pushing. I like it, I like it. Your boy now, give me another one. What do you think is your biggest flaw right now? Oh. And I feel like you walking in your purpose. I feel like you type of person that walking in purpose. So I don't know if you really think you have any flaws, but. No. No, I got flaws. I can tell you think you got flaws. No, I got flaws. I got flaws. Nobody's fault. He accountable. He accountable. I definitely, oh, I got flaws. And how would you try to fix it? That's a good one. I'm still working on it. Yeah. Like, you know, I mean, everybody, I think everybody in life is working on what they need to, what they need to get to. I don't think nobody's perfect. I think everybody's still trying to capture who you are. Shacks, the Mayweb, anybody. They all still trying to capture who they are. They're there more than we are financially. But just because you there financially, don't mean you there mentally. That's right. One of the things. Don't ever think, because nigga up, he got it. That's right. Because in my mind, sometimes, to me, Floyd be bored. Right. It's just, it's just how much can you do and how much, just so much money, how much can you do at one time to keep going? Because I've been there. I've been in Vegas on top, penthouse sweets with some iconic figures. And we party three days straight. And on my first, my second day, I was ready to go home. I'm like, these niggas do this all day long. Right. So I can't burn myself like that. I don't even have enough in me. So I mean, I'm still working on what I need to work on. I think for me, to music, me letting my music go, I think that's one of my biggest things. Because I always getting like, you're gravy, what are you doing? I'm gonna get back to the music. And my heart does, but my mind is just, it's a lot of love loss on that. You know what I mean? Like I chased it. I chased it, man. I gave it my all. Man, it's like being a ball player. You give your all, my nigga, and then you get hurt. You put your meliskus in your ACL. Now niggas talking crazy to you. You was getting ready to get 32 million a year. That's right. Now because of my shit, Odell Beckham, my shit twisted. Y'all niggas trying to three mil me out, running me down. I don't even want to play for y'all. You know what I'm saying? You dig what I'm saying? I don't even want to fuck with y'all on that level. Cause I just feel like y'all know I'm hurt. Y'all know I'm hurt. Which I'm trying to get a world of Southern shit. And want me to act like I ain't hurt. But I'm hurt. Great examples, great examples. Right. So for me with rap, I would love to ain't nothing more precious for me to stand on the stage and get the super duper glifty and bag 500,000 for 40 minutes of getting you some shit I created. And walking off this motherfucker with niggas, my loved ones, like every loved one, every time I touch this bag, touch the bag. OK, OK. Everybody, we all lead. That's what I'm here for. Yes, yes. That way. Right. So yeah, I guess, you know, it's that. But other than that, man, you know, people asking questions like, what's the most important thing in the world to you? My daughter. So I done played, I done did everything I had to do. I done touched cars, I done been with women, all that shit. What's the biggest goal for me? My goal is to get my daughter away to the right man. That's where my head is at. Nothing else is going to matter. Not the watch, not the crib, not the paper, not the money. Fuck all that. I want to see where she going. The more time that I put in, she only 15, I want to see where she going. I'm 47. I'll be 48 next month. Get the fuck out of here. So in my mind, that number, congratulations, bro. I appreciate it. But it's the numbers for me. OK. I'll be 48. She only 15. So I'm trying to be around her for the six weeks, 16. That's right. Murder that. 17, 18, the love of her life, heard her. Come back, regroup. She go to college, try it out. Maybe it worked for her. Come back home, daddy, boom. Fix that. Second love in her life, third love in her life. Understanding how to pick men. Now she don't want to fuck with men. 26, 27, 27, you see what I'm saying? So I'm on a scale. You see what I'm saying? My numbers go up as she grow. So I just want to be there when she turn to 29, 30, that I'm ready to get married. And after that, we can go wherever we need to go with it. You know what I'm saying? But that's my journey. Everybody's journey ain't the same. Some people look at other things different. You know what I mean? A car might be more important to a nigga than this whole family. That ain't me. This one individual, I got to make sure she get to where she got to go. That's right. And as long as everybody around me respect that one individual, we gravy. Oh, I see what you did. I saw what you just did. Yeah, that's it. That's all that matters. Word, word, word. Hey, Chrissy, man, throw another one at him. Name something you would invent that could change the world. Name something that what? You would invent. Something I would invent? Yeah, that can change the world. Shit, I would have did it already. I would have worked that back. Nah, I'm simple, man. I mean, I don't know about inventing nothing. But if I can get everybody to just rock on the same, on the same record, if I can get everybody just to whatever your difference is, we're going to fix it all. Because my head is different. My space is different. So if it was up to me, I'd have shit. Bob Johnson, Oprah, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, all the pioneers, Shaq. I had one black rap label, one black music label. And everybody, all we all share it, split it, and make it work. Instead of everybody going at each other, they don't need. Because when the day comes when we all stand as one, it's over with. It's just about doing that. I see what you're doing. Yeah. Because it's enough power. But the only problem with all those people, somebody's still going to want to be the head. That's right. I always want to be the head. Instead of just, we all are the head. Yeah, you're taking it to another level with that one. Speaking on that, why do you think it is that a black label only specializes in one particular genre of music and not as a label where the actual music, not? Well, number one, number one, besides our egos and everything else as a people and all that other shit that we be going through, we don't got no distribution like that. It's number one. That's right. Right, right. Only man ever had a distribution with Russell Simmons. We ain't never had nobody else with distribution like that to move them units like that. So there ain't nothing wrong with using other people and other cultures to make it work. That's right. I'm just saying that with everything that's in us and still did us with talent, fashion, cooking, dancing, like we kings and queens. That's facts. That's facts. So if somebody is going through a struggle and you're the next door neighbor and you got it, why not share it to make all our communities just as big and just as better as anything else? You something saying? Because all other generations share. We are only American black. It's the only race that don't share. That's true. German shit, Chinese shit, Japanese shit, Tokyo shit, Italian shit, Polish shit. Everybody share. Everything goes down to the family and family. You know what I'm saying? Nobody in my family passed me down. Nothing. So I don't want to be that at the end of the day. I want to pass my daughter. Anything I got in me and I have learned. You start. I got to start from somewhere, man. We're good when you're going to start. Just noticing that like no limit didn't have a rock group, but they are record label or music label. Or they don't have. Maybe they didn't know how to tap into that genre. Right. But I'm saying if you know music, like I don't know why, but I just feel I don't know you. But I feel like you know music. And I feel like your label will be well versed with many genres. But I'm trying to figure out why there is no black label that has started like a no limit or anybody that's got any other genres other than that one that they specialize in. And that's it. Like that's all they know. But they don't know music to be that way. It might be a lot of touchy things. Yeah, because certain places that don't want to see a nigga on that album. I mean, we still got to get over that hump before we get into the other hump. Classism. You know what I mean? Still, it's still something that we go through every day. You know what I'm saying? So we got to get over that hump. You know what I mean? When we get over that, everything will be amazing. It's just funny to me how every time somebody thinks like that, like the Kobe Bryant's or special people who be in the world, things like that, they die when they on a plan to make that happen. Yeah, take the camera off me. Yeah, I was just about to take the camera off me. We canceling your idea. Yeah, please thank you. I don't want to. Yeah, I need you. That's a thought, America. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So it's tough. You know, Michael had a plan. Did you know that? Yeah, yeah. He had a big plan. I ain't gonna talk about that, but it was a big plan. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, you can't tell everybody your moves, man. That's just anybody who hear me now. Yeah, I'll. You can't tell everybody your move because the hater that's right next to you will block your moves. Yeah, just throw him off, man. Since he wants something big, throw him off. Amen. Oh, man, he's got a face down by Shack. Hold on. I'll hit you right back there. Give him something. He gonna run around and run it through everybody anyway. That's right. So just let him go run it through. But don't show him the A and B because he gonna block that one, ain't he? Yeah, yeah. He gonna block the hell out of that. Bro, back in like 2014, you know that, because you heard about the idea that I had earlier and whatnot, but I was definitely trying to make moves to get prisoners good behavior. If you got good behavior, you can go visit a female prison and whatnot and be able to interact with the female prisoners and vice versa with the female prisoners. They could come over to the male prison and do that, but I had niggas blocking me. All right, I think you gonna remain blocked. You don't think of the word? Never. Even with good behavior, you'd be able to go fraternize. You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here. If you had good behavior, you wouldn't be in here. That's the system, man. That's the program. But what if you got life? You got life. So, you know, you're not even really fixing to be able to interact with women like that, but it's a lot of lonely female prisoners that are really good people, but they got life. And it's a lot of lonely. So, explain to me how you got the life sentence and you're a good person. Well, you made a mistake and it's just you've changed after your sentence and everything. That must be a heavy mistake though. Oh, no. For life. Heavy mistake. But now you spending, you're on your 30th year in prison. All right, so what about the girls that knew Instagram? The two girls that just cooked their grandma? Yeah, what about that? Okay, I'm glad you said that because I had them on my heart. I had them on my heart. So, they get to get some free penis because you feel like they did enough time after they burnt grandma? After about 15 years, with good behavior, they should be able to go over to the men's prison along with they got a, what's it called, a hysterectomy and be able to fraternize and have a healthy relationship with the male prisoners. I don't know about that one, but you know. That's the if-I-root word. Right. If-I-root word. Yeah, I got it. You're forgiven. You're forgiven. I'm not. You're super forgiven. I got a partner right now facing a dirty situation. Uh, he happened to just randomly walk outside in the middle of the night, say about three or four o'clock in the morning. Yeah. Walked around to the side of the house, smoked a joint. He saw some dudes getting ready to run into his house. When he got up on his porch, they had already kicked the door in and went in. He ran to the door and shot him in the back. They weren't charging him. They were just running in his house, but he shot him in the wrong direction. Had they been facing him, it would have been okay, but he shot him in the back because he ran in behind him before they got to his family. Now they got him locked and he looking at 20 years. That's crazy. See, what he should have did was turn the mobile backwards while he was on the ground and he shot him in the front side of him while they were down. No, no, they ran in his house. He ran up, he ran up. He's like, what the fuck, ran up. Yeah, I saw that. When they died, when they died on their own face now, we wouldn't turn them around. But they seem to have an interest wound in the exit wound. That's crazy. But you think that's why you got to shoot the wound open bigger? Face it forward. You got to be facing forward. Everybody know that. Everybody know that. Is you ignorant? Is you ignorant? By the way, I didn't know. Come on, I'll push you on, Rex. Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it. Hey, it's Jackie, baby, it's Jackie. Appreciate it. But let's get to some important, man. You got a movie out right now. Right, Trust Nobody. Trust Nobody. Part two. Right, go see part one first. Go see part one first. Yeah, go see part one first, so you understand what's going on. Okay. And then you go see two. Tell us about this picture, man. Tell us about one in the journey. It's a beautiful piece because number one's coming out of Milwaukee. So at the end of the day, it's untapped. That's right. You know, when you mess with untapped markets, it's a beautiful situation. That's right. So every state has a story to it. That's true. A lot of twists. That's right. Between relationships and situationships. That's right. And bad choices. That's right. You know, and that's really it. It's just a lot of twists and turns and you'll love it, you'll enjoy it. You know what I mean? And don't be on there like, oh, just that and the dirt, why I gotta pay for the second one? I get a lot of that. Don't, don't, don't be on there. Listen, if you watch the first one for free, the second one, you need to go on your pocket though. Okay. It's just part of business. What we need to get out of pocket? Yeah. I don't know. I forgot what it cost, but it ain't gonna hurt you. It ain't gonna hurt you. Cause we was spending on something else. You sure will. Exactly. You sure will. Oh, that's cheap. That ain't bad. $7.99.
