Don't need no introduction. This guy right here, man, solid as they come, man, West Coast stand up, mud dollars in a building. Yeah. Big ice water. On Boss Talk 101. Big ice water is in the building. Man, hey, man, what's going on, man? Oh, man, you already know, man, took a two and a half hour flight from Vegas, man, touched down and came straight here. Man, Texas, man. You and Dallas, Texas today, man. Dallas. Hey, man. Like, like it's dope to just see you guys, man, hustling, going, moving around, brothers that look like me trying to figure it out. You know what I'm saying? And I know you guys are going to help somebody while you're doing that. We do that all the time. There you go. Let's get it. Anybody that know me, they know my DMs, stay open. You from California, born and raised? Most definitely. What part? California. Eucalyptus in the laundry to be exact. You know what I'm saying? Where is that? You can live to send a laundry. It's a landmark. It was, um, we had a Kentucky fried chicken on the building across the street. We had a grandma's chicken, you know, I'm talking about, um, I was right there, man. I came up in that, that curbsurfing error. So is that like LA is that? It's LA County, but nigga can't say it's LA. Nigga would not say Belleflowers LA. Why? Cause LA niggas, they, they feel they, they struggle and what they go through is a little bit different on the side of tracks where I'm at. But LA County, um, you have Compton and LA County, you have Long Beach and LA County. You have Watts and LA County, but them people from them cities, they had never say they from LA. They'll say they from Watts. They'll say they from Long Beach, they'll say they from Compton. Just like a bell. I'm a Belleflower nigga. I'm a sound from Belleflower. Cause I love what Belleflower showed me. And if you had to compare Belleflower, cause I hear about Compton all the time, I hear about all these other places, but I've never heard of Belleflower. If you're supposed to compare it, um, cause the things that people always think about when they think about California, of course, the beaches, they think about gang balance and think about all that other stuff. How is Belleflower compared to all of those other things growing on there? When they talk about Belleflower, they'll say that that's where the money at. You know what I'm saying? That's, um, we like two cities away before you, um, hit Orange County, you know, Orange County is like, um, Anaheim, Buena Park. That's where Disneyland is and shit like that. It's like, it's like white folks out there. So the white people that might be scared to pull up in Compton and come get they dope, they're going to pull up in Belleflower cause it's two cities away. So they're going to pull up and fuck with us. And I used to be right down Eucalyptus and Alondra every day. It's a lot of black folks out there. Shit, man. When I came, shit, it was enough of us to do what we needed to do. Okay. You know what I mean? But, um, it's, um, it's a lot of Hispanics and Belleflower, but, um, my, my, my city in my section and where I'm from, like we, uh, we're the only black faction in the whole city. Really? Yeah. Wow. I'm from 706 hustles. So, um, how was it like, okay. So you were raised with your mom and dad or? My dad, um, he was doing some years in the penitentiary and shit. Like there'd be type nigger, but, um, I still love him to this day. How old were you when you went? Um, the last time I saw my dad before I turned into a dog, I was five years old. He was going long time. The next time I saw my pops, he was 20. I was, I was 23. I saw him five. Then the next time I saw that nigga, I wasn't because he was locked up that whole time or he was in and out. Like, so like the nigga couldn't never stay out more than, um, I say three to four months, but you know, was he on drugs? Now he wasn't on drugs. That nigga just, he just, he was really, um, invested in his, um, his criminal activity that he was doing. That's what I would say. How did you feel having a father absent in your life? When you young like that, you don't really understand, um, what would having a father figure like, um, that male entity in your house, especially when you come from my mother, she a strong black woman. So my mother just, she made us, I ain't going to say forget that it took a man to bring me into this world too. Um, she just played both roles well. Yeah. Yeah. I would go to my grandma house on the weekends and shit. And like, she would like, you know, I feel like she would do shit to, to make it a little bit better. But you didn't have a man to explain certain things to you about growing up into being a man or did you? But that, that, that's, that's why you become from the hood. That's why you become the set, you know what I'm saying? Because your, um, your, your big homies become that, that father figure that, that male role model, that's where you born into the set. Or did you actually put on, because some people say when you're born in a certain area and your set is in that area, you automatically in the set, it wouldn't like that for me. Like I was a nigga, I came from, um, we had our own cliques and crews and shit before, like we, um, figured out like when it's that time to take it to another level, when people start shooting at you and shit and you're, you're clicking crew. Y'all don't got no pistols. Y'all, y'all got to like, go fuck with the hood. That's really the set, the game. Like that's really, um, um, prominent in your community. And that was, um, 706 hustles. Let me ask you this, the 706 hustle. When the first time you seen somebody get gunned down shot? Um, actually I've, I've never saw it. I didn't got busted on before. I didn't get shot myself. I got shot myself. I didn't see niggas get shot, but I, um, I've, I've came, I didn't been in areas after the situation happened. Like one time I was at a swap meet in, um, North Las Vegas. They used to have this swap meet over there, like, um, um, Lake Me and was it not, not Rancho, um, Las Vegas Boulevard. It was the North Las Vegas swap meet. I forgot the name of the swap meet at that time, but it was a nigga up in there and he was taking pictures with his prostitute and he was flashing money and some young niggas came to rob the nigga that was like 13, 14 by his car. And, uh, he, he, he had went back to the place where he was just taking the photos at. He was just sitting in the fucking seat and he had a shirt up and a nigga just had like a hole in his chest and he was just trying to sit there calm as he could. You know what I'm saying? And that was like, like one of the first times I saw like that shit up close and personal. Wow. And it was like, damn. Wow. Nigga coming to do something like he think is some simple, but niggas is hungry. As soon as he put out that money, the young niggas was on it. Wow. Um, here you go. You know, I, when I was researching you, it got into a situation where the van, the whole of here. Yeah, let's talk about that for a minute. Give me that story. How old were you when you did that? I think I was, I was in my early twenties. I used to work at the airport at LAX. And you had the gall to do that. I worked for a security company called Archon Bride Security at that time. And, um, I never forget it. It was right before I think he was about to fight Lennox Lewis or somebody. He was fighting somebody like heavy, right? And, uh, he came through that motherfucker. And I was, I was on some just, here's your bag, sir. Cause I was, I was a pre-bore screener at that time. So I'm usually bagging. He just like kind of blew me off. And I was like, fuck you, you know? And, uh, you said that to him. Yeah, I was waiting for him to punch me because I wanted to be rich. I just wanted to skip the process. I just wanted to skip the process. Fuck it. Hit me, nigga. That would have been an ugly league, though. So what happened? He just looked at me and he lost the fight the next day. See, yeah. So do you think it was because he wasn't told you? He was rude. But I mean, I got love for Rick Ross. He took his house over like, and I was just, um, by Rick Ross, um, shit, probably like two, two and a half weeks ago when I was in Atlanta. So you just didn't like the way he, where he, where he, um, talked to you? I was like, no, the way he, the way he done. Yeah, it was kind of that. And I was like a kid that was before. Like we knew anything about clout or anything. It was just like, you know, I was just trying to overdo my job. And I feel like he wasn't like, just like, just acknowledging me at all. And it was like, but why would he acknowledge me? I'm a fucking nigga working in the airport. You know what I'm saying? He got a big major fight the next night. But like, it's still about the small people at the. It don't take a second just to say something. I take a second to acknowledge people. Like I just saw like a lot of like, um, doing that job. I saw a lot of people come through the airport and get clout because it was really like so plain when a nigga worked at that motherfucker. Wow. It was ridiculous. So you, so, and that's something else. But I mean, let's talk about it, man. How old was you when you met Slim 400? I met Slim, I say 14 years ago now. So, um, see, I ain't going to talk about my age, but nigga up there, though, I'm seasoned like Lucille. I'm in my 40s, though. Fuck it. I'm at the top of my 40s. I'm not at the end of my 40s. I get it. I met him over, um, 14 years ago. And, um, it was just, and I had never knew a blood before then. I'd never had a partner that was a blood. And all my people is Crips, you know what I'm saying? In my homies, we hustlers, but like we not like blood or Crip like we're in Belleflowers, not blood or Crip. It's just original like lures. So like it's just we banging for the green for the money. Like that's just a common goal. So like that, that's why I bought into that shit. Cause my family, I come from a big family of Crips. I could have easily been a Crips, you know what I'm saying? That was the easy thing to do. But, um, standing on your own two and being from a neighborhood that a lot of people ain't never heard of. And still to this day. I've been from my neighborhood over 22 years. Like he said, y'all never heard of Belleflower, but then he got money. Like I'm going to let you know, you know what I'm saying? I'm a Belleflower nigga. Like this is how I'm moving. I'm not trying to be like nobody else. I'm trying to be like a Belleflower nigga. No, but Slim 400, like when you first met him, he was doing the music and everything. Yeah. He was doing the music. Um, my G homie from my neighborhood, which is Lebo. Lebo, um, he got family ties with the tree tops. So that's how I met Slim 400. You know what I mean? Through his family ties. Um, he didn't have the time to work with Slim. So he kind of like, he told Slim, like my young homie from my neighborhood is really serious about the music, which was me. And, uh, he brought us together and I had a recording studio on my hood off our artesian Belleflower Boulevard. So Slim used to come to the studio every day. We, uh, we stick to Steve's walking me up to the point when Slim 400 gets killed. Like, what was that, uh, like, like, you know, being in the South, we didn't know really the particulars of what was going on, but you and no understanding the politics of the game. Give me understanding of how he, how he got killed. Slim got killed because he loved the street so much. He loved his people so much. And sometimes just being that accessible can fuck you over. And that, that's what happened. Like, um, the, the woman that he loved, you know, she stayed in the hood and that's, he would love to pull up over there and, you know, whatever went sideways, that that's what happened. He loved, he couldn't, you couldn't keep him away from the hood. And I would tell her nigga, like, bro, you a mogul. Like we got these major deals. We, we got this marijuana shit going on. We got these, these million dollar partners that we never had when they say, what they say, hang around nine rich niggas and you'll be the 10th like, man, we, we had our nine rich niggas. But slim, he had to pull up to be in the hood. Okay. And so just walk me up to the day when he, when he got killed, where were you at when you heard that they killed him? I was in Vegas. I was in Vegas and, um, I had a conversation with him earlier that day. Oh, so you talked to him that day. Yeah, I had a conversation with him and I would clown his ass because like I was the only nigga like that was around slim. That wasn't a yes, man. There you go. And we were clashed. We were clashed. Have you posted? Because everybody would be kissing his ass. And I was like, nah, nigga, music got to be better. Business got to be better. We're not rich. Like, you know what I'm saying? We want to take care of our family and our kids and everybody with this. And, um, and it was just, it was a cold day, man. Like it was just, it was a normal day. We had a conversation. We was laughing and joking. And I was telling him like, hey, bro, if you don't want to do music no more, let me know. That was our conversation. I was like, if you just want to be on some acting shit, because, um, he was going up to Oxnard doing acting little skits with my partner, Mr. Tone, my essay partner. And he really wanted to, slim was a really funny dude. So he wanted to get into that. He was like, oh, now you got me fucked up. Like, oh, I just got my car to shop, nigga. Oh, it's motherfucking gold. Oh, watch where you see this pink. He was going crazy. Last conversation with y'all. That was the last conversation. And I was, I was sitting in the studio and he used to be mad when I would do music. Cause he like, nigga, I want you to focus on me. You my manager. What the fuck you doing music for? But I come from being an artist first. So like, I would still cook up, but I would never like cook up to do shows. And everybody know that. Everybody that's watching this shit know. I didn't throw probably, I had my own chitlin circuit for the West Coast. And then I started going to like other regions and shit. I would put these shows together, but I would never get on my shows and perform. Okay. Cause I feel like that's some whole shit. Don't get these people paying for slicing. You're doing all this shit. Then at the end of the night, you act like you the headliner. Wow. That's some whole ass shit. Don't do people like that. A lot of people do that, man. That's some whole ass shit. So like, I didn't do hella shows and I never performed, but after he passed, I started performing at a couple of the events that, you know, I would do, you know what I mean? Cause I'm big ice water. Like I'm in the face of this shit now. So it's different. So you keep saying that are you ice water or mud dollars? Both? I'm mud dollar mayor. He gave me the name. I'm a mud dollar mayor. Our company, me and Slim, me, Slim and Compton world, we had a company called Mud Dollars. Okay. Right? So for nobody to steal the name, I created mud dollars on Instagram instead of mud dollar mayor. Cause I didn't want nobody to take the mud dollars name, but I'm mud dollar mayor. Okay. You know what I'm saying? And he kind of like gave me that moniker mud dollar mayor and shit. Cause he had mud dollars tattooed on his, right here, right here on his, his wrist. On his wrist. Yeah. He had mud dollars. Cause and people be like, why you got your name tattooed on you? No, that was our company that we started originally. Me, him and Compton world, Danny evolved into four block records. Then I told him, I was like, well, everybody ain't from spruce street and everybody ain't from treetop. So everybody can't really just grasp the concept of being signed to four block record. So we, we should change the label name. And he was like, well, what, what should we change it to? And I was like, well, nigga, you always send ice water. Let's change them up for the ice one. He was like ice water. I was like, nigga, ice water. Then we changed it to ice water. And I came up with the logo with one of my partners in the Bay Area and slim didn't like the logo. I took the icy logo and I flipped it, which is on my ring. I flipped this logo right here. And at first he didn't get it. I was like, you know what I'm saying? Cool niggas, cold niggas, red and blue. We, we fuck with Crips and Bloods. Like that, that's a lot of people didn't know that Slim had a lot of Crip partners. Like he was fucked with a lot of Crips. So I was like, we cool niggas, cold niggas, we bringing that shit together. And he didn't like the logo. That December I pressed up a hundred shirts. We sold a hundred shirts and like three days. He was like, that's the motherfucking logo. You made him believe it. You made him a believer. So the day when he passed away, when he gets killed, who calls you and tell you? His uncle. He called you to say, he said he gone. That's my nigger too. His uncle, Chris, that's my nigger. Like we, that's like, that's up. Me and uncle is like around the same age. So like we really like kind of like mesh with me and uncle started hanging out. Like it was like, you know what I'm saying? We in the same age bracket. We kind of like the same shit, the same music. And me and his uncle really got close. And what did he say when he called? He was like, hey man, he's like, I need you to call nephew. I think he got hit again. I said, hit again? What you talking about? He was like, I think he got shot again. I'm like, man, let me call you back. So like, I call snuff on. I call like, like three times in a row, boom, boom. And I didn't get no answer. So then I called TK. TK from Charleston, boy ENT. Like, that's one of Slim's big homie. He's like a facilitator, like with the music. And he just does like a lot of shit behind the scenes. And, you know, he's a good dude up over there. Like in the tree top areas I call TK. And he kind of like gave it to me raw. He was like, yeah, man. Like, yeah, that's what I'm hearing. Like I'm hearing this bad. So Dan, I was pulling up to fuck one of my partners on some good shit. And I told one of my partners, one of our mutual friends, I'm like, man, they said Slim got hit. He got like, it's looking ugly, man. So I got made a post like, please, like pull it through. Like, you know, just some shit. Like a lot of people got to tapping in with me. And yeah, I just got the confirmation. Like, you know, his big homie gave me the confirmation that it was real. He wasn't here, he didn't make it. Damn. And so you had to go, did you go to the funeral? Yeah, I went to the funeral, most of it. How was the, I know it was tough, but like how was the, how was it, had you been dealing with his family that up close? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I dealt with his mom. Like I still deal with his mom today. Like we kind of like, we handle the business for the state. And it was just like, yeah, like, you know, in it, it was like doing like that, that COVID time too. So his funeral, like I remember that, like damn, they're like two months. So it was like to preserve a body, how they had the homie preserved. Like that niggas was looking like he was sleeping. Wow. On my mama, like that nigga looked like a motherfucking king in a casket. And I'll never forget that. In a stick with me, you know, like it's, his family, like they from the hood. So they gonna sing in pictures. They were sending me pictures like, look up, look up, look up, look good. That was tough for you though, wasn't it? No, because I was, is, we was around each other like every day for like 13 years, maybe 300 days, about a year. You know what I'm saying? So that was, it was a little different. When you're around somebody that much, that was like, that nigga was family to me. So it was different. Wow. I hate that man. But I know, you know, life, one day you're here and then the next day you're gone. I wanted to stop everything I was doing. Wow. How long did it take you to get back comfortable with even moving forward with the music and all that? I had to be the one that's strong, like, cause I lost my daughter when she was two months and I lost her at two months old and she would have been 17 years old if she was here right now. So just going through that, like, when one door closed, another one opens, like I was rolling with a preacher and we was going to go pick out the casket from my daughter and he was just like talking to me. And I wanted to do some gang, I was already on some gang shit. I ain't gonna lie, man. Like that week in my daughter funeral, I had a, I had a prostitute on the blade. It was a different type of thing. I was, I was on some real young nigga activity. I was still living within, you know what I'm saying? Trying to figure myself out at that time. And yeah, it was, yeah, like, like it was deep. Like, you know, a prostitute's money, like he'll pay for my daughter funeral. Wow. Like, you know what I'm saying? And it was crazy how that even happened because somebody stole from me. And the person that stole from me, his girl was a prostitute. So I couldn't catch up with him. I caught up with the chick. Wow. So I made her kind of like pay it back three times what he stole. What did your daughter, she passed from? She passed from SIDS. Sudden infant death syndrome, you know what I mean? And basically her muscles wasn't developed full enough to turn her head back and she suffocated herself in the covers. And I got mad with my baby mother that day cause I was like, why the fuck you didn't have her in the bassinet, you know? Cause we had the little bassinet for her to sleep in the bassinet. And I would always put her on her side. And I had one up out of town that day. I was on some bullshit. Had a little white girl in California. Some bullshit. I was living in Vegas and shit. Had my side bitch out there and I did some bullshit. And I had a conversation with a female that night and I said some bullshit. And the next morning I got a call and as soon as I got that call I knew they was calling me to tell me about my daughter. Wow. You already knew. I already knew. Cause motherfucking never called me that early. Yeah. And then when the person called me I'm like, man, what the fuck is your, what y'all gonna tell me? She just crying. And she was like, Kyle is not breathing. And I was like, you know what I'm saying? I wanted to end everything then. So like me hooking up with Slim, like that was like, I don't know where shit, but that was like I had a baby again. So I'm about to watch my baby grow. Like watching year after year, like we accomplishing different shit. The third, fourth year, fifth year doing this shit with Slim. And it's like watching my baby grow cause my baby not here. So I'm watching like that shit kept me saying, just being focused on his career, right? Yeah, you're focusing on his career, like working with Slim that she kept me saying. So then I wanted to go kill. I ain't gonna lie. I wanted to go kill. I wanted to go kill some niggas just to make me feel better. And then my mama told me. That ain't gonna make you feel better. Yeah, she was like, she was like, your daughter had a brothers, right? She was like, you gotta go be strong for your family. That's what my mama told me. Yeah, cause that wasn't your first child? That was my first and only. That was your first and only child. Only child. So you don't have no more even today? Wow. And I know that that was tough on you, but just then to lose Slim after that, after that was your build up. Yeah. It really made you feel away. So I know that made you withdraw from everything. Yeah, kind of like, yeah, but I have to be strong. Cause I was like, they wanted to see ice water just fall off cause I was reading the comments. They was like, ah, ah, ah, Slim dead. Now y'all labeled dead. Like all type of shit. There was a lot of shit. The comments is crazy. Yeah, yeah. If you read them comments, you better have motherfucking tough skin. You better tough skin. Yeah. Cause they'll say some shit that's brutal. And you'll feel it. But we all human being that you don't know what you could have just went through at that moment and where your head is. You know what I mean? The motherfuckers don't care. They want to, yeah, y'all thought y'all some niggas of Slim gone, ice water's over. Wow. You know what I'm saying? So that was a lot of that conversation and shit. That's what drives you to this day. Oh yeah. It was a drive. Like my daughter drove me before that. Then after Slim's passing, that shit hella drive me now. And so it's like, I've been like doing a rebuild another label and it was like already like when shit was going on, cause I'm a certain type of way and I might be a hard person to deal with. So people wanted to be a yes man Slim and they wanted to separate us. But when you real brothers with somebody that shit ain't gonna happen. Let me ask you something man. How did you even know 69 to gosh? It was funny. And it was that other guy. Who was that guy that came on here? The big tall 69 nigga from Hoover? What was his name? Ashon Martin. Yeah, he was on here. Yeah. You know him? I was at a barbershop with him about probably like a year and a half ago and shit. And we was in the same barbershop and shit. Cause I was getting my dress twisted. He still saying he was cool with him. He knew the lactation and shit. So you know what I'm saying? We was up in there and you know what I'm saying? He just, he had dealings with that dude. I ain't gonna say he was cool with him but he had dealings with that nigga. And it was getting tricky. It was getting tricky. Cause he had said some shit and it got tricky. So you even with Ashon? Yeah, he had said some shit and Slim was about to catch his fate. Like Slim didn't give a fuck. See that was the thing. Like I just try to tell Slim like you CEO bro, you can't man Slim was ready to go do everything at any time. He would take flight every time, any time. We bomb first when we ride like that picture of Pocky I got right here. Slim was like, man, it'll never be another Slim. Like that was his type of energy. So when you see Ashon at the barbershop, everything was cool, right? Yeah, it was cool. You know what I'm saying? Y'all didn't talk or nothing? Nah, he just, he looked at me like, like I know who you isn't. He had a nigga, I know who you is and I'm a cool dude. But you know what I'm saying? Like I still, I move a certain way. Cause I move alone a lot. So, you know, I moved a certain way. Wow. So, six nine, how did he black ball you? Oh man, cause first off, we didn't know that they was signed to 10K projects and 10K projects, which is a label that's owned by Capital Records Universal and the guy that's over Universal, he kind of like, the guy from 10K, his pops owns like a lot in the music industry. So we was getting black ball. They was taking posts down, like on Instagram, like some posts and shit. We were like, damn, how the fuck the post is coming down? They was taking it down. Man, they have power, bro. Wow. They have power, bro. We didn't know what we was up against until we had a meet with A&R at Capital Records a year after that. Cause they was like the type of like energy that Slim and six nine was giving, they can't even create that shit. You know what I'm saying? So they had to give us a meeting to come here, hear Slim out just because they got a whole room of motherfuckers that try to create that type of hype. You know what I mean? And it was organic. Like Slim got up on him cause like, he didn't understand like nigga, you a blood and you got rainbow color hair. So when we, niggas associate the rainbow with the LGBT, like like, Exactly, exactly. The GPS community, like we associate that with that. So he was just trying to G check you cause he from the Slim from the West coast and you wearing a red rag. So somebody has a red rag or a burgundy rag or a diamond gotta speak up. And that's all Slim was trying to do. He was just trying to speak up to the nigga. He wasn't trying to extort six nine. He wasn't trying to extort their label. He just wanted some clarity. What a fuck do you got rainbow hair and you talk about you a diamond. So we didn't know that six nine had a moniker himself after an enemy, like an enemy character, like animated anime, whatever, you know, like the Asian shit. And that's, it was like a, like a fighting like, my bad, like a warrior or some shit. Yeah. So, yeah. That's crazy. And we found that after the fact, but the niggas said fuck the West coast. What? One of them niggas, But what else was with him though? The idea like a post in the nigga beat behind the scenes was like nigga fuck Cali. It was on. But what now? He had certain people with him that were from Cali. So look, when they went on six nine first came to California and he had to, what was the other dude that was unwrapping with him, the New York cat, the tall skinny dude. Oh, I remember. I forgot. I knew exactly what you talked about. But he was with him. Boy, that nigga sent a message to Slim DM cause a lot of people didn't know like I worked Slim DM. Like I'm his manager. Like I ran the whole shit. Yeah. So I would see the message first. So I saw the message and I sent this to Slim. I'm like, look at these niggas trying to send the white flag. He was like, fuck that blood. We on the ass. So Slim didn't give a fuck. He like, man, we on him. Fuck that. It ain't nothing to talk about. Cause the nigga was like, man, man, y'all got moves out there. We got moves here, man. Like we need to just make this shit smooth. Like that's what nigga said some shit like that. The tall nigga who used to be with six nine. I forgot his name, but he had like a little, like a little patch. I'm trying to call the truth. Yeah. And that nigga was praying. I saw the nigga praying at the airport that day. I'd never forget that. I told Slim, I was like, man, I walked the phone, Slim. Like, the next thing you know, that was with, um, I'll shine more at the, um, Delamo swap meet. I mean, at the Delamo mall, not to swap me cause them is two different things. The, uh, yeah, the swap meet, um, is in Long Beach to mallers and torrents. But yeah. So let me ask you this. Like, did you see when he got in that altercation at that gym? Yeah, I saw that. What did you think when you, did you think, damn, like, wow, they finally, they caught that in their ass. Everybody was saying that. Man, I think six nine was talking so much shit. Boy, that boy talk big shit. He'll get up under your skin. He really had that shit master. He can do it. He really like, hey, man, he really made the internet, the internet interesting. Then, then Chawson White took his place. I told him that too. Then nothing. I saw that shit happen. That's crazy. That's the real deal. Yeah. So let me ask you. They love bullshit. They love it. I want to ask you, man, like, I seen what you got into it, but take off and Mize and Emma know. No, I never get into it. What was it? What was it? They were just speaking on it. When we had did, um, me and Ed Dolo from QC, we had did an interview on Back on Fig. Yeah. And they asked us like, what was our takes on the, um, you know, the situation that happened with, um, with take off? And, um, another question was about, um, Mize and that, that was, that was something else. But, um, but there's so many people dying, man. Like that's probably why they asked you that because the rap was, man, Spencer L.A. got this reputation too, though. Yeah, it ain't just, it happens more frequently in California. Yeah. Like people, you can't, you come, you got to be prepared for war. Either you need. You just got to be on point. You got to know where not to go and you got to know where to go. So you got to be prepared for war if you're going to ride around the city. You got to be on point, you know what I'm saying? We got to know how to move, how y'all see it. Yeah, don't, don't be posting shit and showing your background because niggas will pull up to come check your temperature. Especially if you said some shit out of bounds, motherfuckers is going to come see about you. If you're looking like an easy league, motherfuckers is going to come see about you. If, if you, nah, I won't even say that. What you that guy don't even want to put down? Nah, like, because I remember like, people use California to market. Like, I remember Summer Walker saying, LA dirty. And that shit fucking got her viral. That shit made her shit got to running and bitches was talking about what they was going to do to her. You're not going to get close to Summer Walker and her team. At all, at all. That's what it was. Wow. She was out of there. She said California was dirty. Her shit blew up. You would have thought bitches would have stopped listening to her shit. Having them hoes in the IE and LA was running around bumping that shit. Man, I gotta, I gotta really just, just ask you about, you've been seeing everything that's been going on. Man, like when you think about like P. Diddy and the stuff that he going through now, do you, I mean, do you feel like people, like Bill Cobb went through a lot, right? Yeah. Like people can come back on you at any level. Now the internet make it. Meek Mill is going through a whole bunch, bro. Like the internet is just going, but it's so much out there that's showing that stuff was. Meek Mill, I'll be thinking that they could be rolling out albums and shit like man. He, he don't want to say something. It'd be crazy. They'd be on Meek ass. But me walk down his time. I got a lot of respect for Meek Mill's like and what he's trying to do. But helping those, helping to try to reform. It's not a play, play person. Like it's certain people that you, you don't play with like that. Like so it's like, when you see that shit and what you, what you know, cause I remember Meek Mill's and his dream chaser team being around YG and coming to I'm a real one video shoot. Like pulling up in the middle of fucking the men cities and LA and rolling 20 blood hood and it is man. It can get crazy. It did get crazy. It's a lot of shit that happened that video shoot. You know what I'm saying? Respect to all the artists that's still here. That was a part of the video shoot because it could have gotten ugly. Artists couldn't have made it to where they are right now. Wow. Do you, what is the, what is the, what is the temperature like when it come down to gangs in the, on the West Coast now versus the way it used to be probably 15 years ago? You know, is everything getting a little better? I say every cent is trying to get their money. All these niggas is really trying to get their money. They trying to have at it, but you still got a faction of young niggas who like, man niggas, oh, the niggas is soft and we going to keep this shit turned up. So long as it's young motherfuckers coming up, this shit going to never stop. It's always going to be that bull shit. It's always going to be that element because some young niggas is not going to listen even though they're going to listen to somebody but they're not going to listen. Wow. Like I said, I kind of wrote in on, you know, what do you think podcasts to do like me? You got a lot of podcasters, academics. You got, you got a what it just no jump of lead. And when you think about just when you see, you know, people reporting and talking about all of the stuff that's going on in the industry, do you do you think podcasts are helpful or do they hurt? Podcasts are definitely helpful. Before that, it used to be the artist was giving you the gospel. The artist was like news reporters that's coming from these different communities. Now these podcasters is giving it to you on a weekly basis and breaking that shit down. And they coming from a, I feel like a non bias point of view. They giving you a point of view. And a lot of times these people are not like just heavily involved in the street. So they're not going to come from that angle. They just giving it to you like their perception of how everything is and this is what it is. But we are in a totally different time. And these podcasts are bigger than the rappers. At this, at this day and time, I feel like podcasts are the rappers. Wow. They the stars. They the stars. Let's talk about bank air and how did you guys even link? Shit. He won no scary nigga. He was coming down to the West Coast, fucking with us, not being scary, pulling up in the trenches and then he had a plan. He wanted to do this music shit and wanted to materialize some things. And man, we didn't, we didn't do it. We've been rocking for maybe like the last four or five years. We've been rocking. He got records with Slim 400. Like that's, that's things like that. Like he been there. He'd been on tours with us and some, some everywhere. You know what I mean? And he didn't show that Southern hospitality. He didn't show me how to like move a certain shit. Like I'm the, I'm the guy, I'm a facilitator. I do management. I do all that. But certain things I picked up from him, like just like even coming up here today, like I brought waters above. I brought some food. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. I do that everywhere I go and people be like, like, we got it. It's like, it's just a thing. Like I'm going to come bearing gifts. I'm going to come with something. I'm going to come with some merch. I'm going to come with something. You know what I mean? So you do know that. I appreciate what you're doing at the same time. We definitely, definitely love the fact that you would even come through and show some love to boss talk. One of one being out of off the West Coast. I always show love to the West Coast. Ever since I started this, you know what I mean? This been one of my main thing. I didn't even know that was going to be the factor. But that ended up being a thing where a lot of people from LA love boss talk. I was like, okay, this is this is some real shit right here. Like this is some. Like whoever the person that's doing this, then like with like how we connected was like, oh man, like man, that was love. A lot of people like that just be on that high horse, especially like with y'all. Like y'all numbers going crazy. No, we still care. Crazy. Like, and y'all fuck with the people from the biggest to the smallest. Don't matter. Like that. God is the one to control, man. And like I said, I just, I think God put us in the midst of this whole thing just so we could be an equilibrium. We just try to, we want to love everybody. You know, I've been through a lot. My wife from another country. And it's just like, I don't know. We've been doing this stores. Like I always tell people for 18 years we've been in this community, you know, trying to help our people, man. And I think that's what people don't think about. Like it's already been something we've been doing, helping people open businesses, doing things to help the communities. And now we just say, but I think God blessed us to be able to help a lot more people. That's all. I just thank you, man. I was like, man. Like it's a beautiful thing that we was able to even pull up here and to get on air. Like cause when you watch somebody, then when you come meet the people and like they genuine, it's like, yeah, man, I'm going to be calling them after you can always call us. I'm not just here for anybody. There's somebody that like, man, when y'all come to Vegas or when y'all come to LA, I always come to Vegas. I always come to Vegas because I really don't come outside. So, you know, when I come outside, because I was outside for so many years doing other shit. Yeah. I was doing other shit. I was being bad, wasn't it? I was doing other shit. I was doing other shit. No, but like, I just, like I said, I think that it's dope just to connect with good people and people who, you know, you've been around the young kid, the youth, the, you know, all of the people, the older guys and you, you are influencing them. So it's only right that we connect. So we can influence them the right way. I try to scout artists every city. We try to give artists every city that we touch a chance. Like, man, seeing your record and like, man, if you got something, like, man, my DMs is always open. Like you can hit me about anything, but it is a business at the end of the day. It's so much that I can do on the cuff and look out. But when it comes to other shit, it's still business. So don't get mad that I'm hanging on my business. We on tour with this artist, Mike Sherm. Shout out. From the Bay Area, Mike Sherm is like a real, like, big Bay Area artist. He has a cult following. He should be bigger. But a lot of times niggas be like, man, I don't want to fuck with that major shit. Yeah. I like this. This is a conference where I'm at right here. Boss talk. I'm doing this. That's what it is. So we on the Mike Sherm tour and it's an all ages event going on tonight. It's a beautiful thing. We out here in Dallas, Texas. Hey, how can people get a whole day if they try to reach out and you trying to get a hold to me at mud dollars on Gmail. I got an IG page, too. That I'm building up right now. It's mud dollars at Gmail. I tried to do this podcast shit, too. Yeah, man. Then let me know if you need some bonus, man. I spread myself too thin, man. I'm going to just stick with this management right now. I might throw a couple more shows and shit. I said I had to do a Super Bowl event. And I said after that, that was my last event. I did Super Bowl flows. But a lot of people, they've been hit me. I got a company called Big Clouds Music Festival. And I've been doing that. The first time Slim, I got shot. I created that festival probably like two months before. He was supposed to be the headliner. He got out of the hospital 15 days later. You know what I'm saying? Wow. You do that a lot like when you're doing your music, you just go off the brain and just do some. Yeah, because I got a studio at my house. So I just sit in front of the computer, the microphone is right there. I punch in every three or four bars. Or I might write it down on the whole 16 straight through. And I just upload it to my YouTube, get people free music and shit. Because I used to always tell Slim this, when you're an artist, you're always going to paint. Everybody don't got to see your canvas. But when it's time for them to see it, make sure it's something beautiful. It's something beautiful. You know what I'm saying? Top three artists of all time did or lied. Top three on any genre. E40. And I got to give you East Coast nigga. I got to give you a down soft nigga. Two pot. E40. Juvenile JZ. Hey, don't try to do four. You see that? Thank you so much, man. Listen, more dollars, man. We appreciate you, man. Ice water in the building. Stop playing, man. Ice water lonely. I'm Slim 400. Man. Cold Journey. What will Slim do coming soon? We got the documentary coming soon on Tubi. I think it's called Killing. Killing Hip Hop or something. Wow. Damn. It's deep, man. I cried in that interview because I really love my nigga. Yeah. That nigga like really like we really grew together and that was really my brother. He was like my younger brother. I got a brother like that's the same age as Slim. He used to cut Slim here and like, you know, and Slim, Slim 400, Vincent Coran Jr. That was my brother from another mother. Man.
