Starting point is 00:01:28 Yeah, why is camping pussy? If you go camping, man, you pussy. Why? Oh, because you can't take a shit in peace. You gotta watch out for a fucking bed Biting your dick if you're pissing I don't want to do none of that There's modern
Starting point is 00:01:42 Necessities or modern whatever the fuck they call it For a reason I don't want to go back in time I don't know bro but being outside on the street In Coney Island that seems less That seems less hospitable than being out of the forest Yeah but that's you're forced to do that It's not like yo let's go do this for the weekend
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's not elected You know what I'm saying nah This is my life You don't see families of white people get in their van being like let's go to Coney Island and sell dope on the stoop. Exactly. Sniff dope, sell dope, a little bit of all. I'm going to do that with my kids.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm going to be like, hey guys, we're going outside for the weekend. We're going to the hood. We're going to make it happen. Take this fucking keep bump, Johnny. Yeah, my kid's going to learn for real. That's right. We're going to see Uncle Nems. He's going to put you on. You're from Coney Island. The Mayo, Coney Island.
Starting point is 00:02:26 You are the mayor of Coney Island, soon to be the mayor of New York. Hopefully. I believe. Can you explain Coney Island in a story? Can you, like, give me a little. like slideshow of Coney Island that would explain it to people that have no idea what it is. I think it's just an amusement
Starting point is 00:02:41 part. All right, Coney Island, fucking back in the days, Easter Sunday is a place that everybody in New York knows that Coney Island is the place to be on Easter Sunday. I've been at the, which is the rides part. There's two
Starting point is 00:02:57 Coney Islands. Say this is Steelewell Avenue right here. Stilwell Avenue is where the train is. The last stop on the D, the N, Q, mad train style. That's the last stop. So when you get off the train, you can go this way, and this is all the rides, the cyclone, the Wonderwheel, all that.
Starting point is 00:03:14 You go this way. It's 21 blocks and three avenues of ghetto. A ghetto neighborhood, low-income, poverty-stricken, drug-addicted, mentally unstable people. So the world knows about this part, the ride part. The world doesn't really know about that other part. Island's world famous. So you take your family to the rides,
Starting point is 00:03:38 Easter Sunday. Little do you know that there's groups of people from this side that are waiting for you to come with your family. In the 80s, they were chopping off your fucking kitten plate flat top. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:03:51 Just to be dickheads. You know what I'm saying? Robbing people. In the 90s, they were slashing your face in front of your family. And in the 2000s, just bums bothered you, you know what I'm saying? But that's, you know, there's two sides of Coney Island.
Starting point is 00:04:06 There's the rides, and then there's the neighborhood. And the side you grew up on? Yes. Who were some of the characters that you grew up around? Like, were there people that you're like, yo, this was the craziest dude or the funniest dude from your block when you were a kid? Um, my family were the craziest people I knew.
Starting point is 00:04:21 You know what I'm saying? And they kind of ran Coney Island when I was a young kid. They were heavily into the streets. I saw everything. My uncle climbed the parachute jump and put the Puerto Rican flag on top To this day they call him Monkey Luke. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:04:37 Your monkey loop. Yeah, yeah, he has the worst shape up in the world. I've seen him. He was at my mother's party the other day. His shape-up started up here. You could tell he did it himself. And he wears the judge for men, but he don't get it right on the hair. So it's like all fucked up up here.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And he uses the shade too dark so it looks mad, unnatural. Yeah, yeah. They called him monkey loop even before he started climbing. Yeah, they just looked at him. Yeah, he looks. Yeah, and he must have took fentanyl all last year or something. I don't know what he did, but he came to my store, and he OD'd and he was stuck for 20 minutes like this.
Starting point is 00:05:10 And he couldn't talk. And we were like, yo, Lou, he was just like there. Yo, Lou, give him milk. There was pouring milk in his mouth. He's like that. Milk coming down his mouth stuck on stupid, bro. Like God was reaching down for him. Come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:05:25 No, Lou had more work to do. Facts. Yo, the milk was the narcan. Facts. You hit him with the milk one time. He started to put him in the ambulance. They hit him with real narcan. No way.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Then he came out of it. Yeah. Where's my wallet? What did Lou do it when you were a kid? What was the job? He was a fucking burglar and a fucking cocaine dealer. Hell yeah. And he's been an asshole my whole life.
Starting point is 00:05:47 No. Yeah, yeah. Why is he an asshole? Well, I had to move back in when I was 18. He still had my project apartment. When we moved out, me and my mother, he kept it. Because you don't give up project apartments. You know, it was like, you know, rent stabilized.
Starting point is 00:06:01 You know what I'm saying? And when I had to move back, I had to move in with him. And he was just always an asshole. Like, he would never, he would be jealous. I would have girls come up there, ask for their ID because he would thought they were too young. And I'm like, bro, I'm fucking 17, bro. If I bring a fucking 15-year-old here, it's cool because I'm not even up age myself.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And he was just always hating on me, bro. He always been an asshole to this day. That's crazy. Did you have other uncles or was that your only one? No, I have mad uncles. My mother was one of my Puerto, I'm Puerto Rican Irish. My mother's side was one of, my mother was one of 14 children. One of 14?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah, I guess back then there was no condoms or there was no, before AIDS, they was just letting it rip, you know what I'm saying? But one of 14, same parents or like different? Same mother. Same mom. Wow. I think like seven or eight of them got the same dad. Then the other ones from eight to 14 got different fathers.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Oh, that's crazy. My grandmother was starting out there. Letting it go. Puerto Rican and Irish, that is the most proud combination to be. Absolutely. That is too proud. Yep. That is incredible.
Starting point is 00:07:08 My Irish side, they had eight boys and girls, you know what I'm saying? So I had huge family on both sides. And everyone was in Coney Island. No, my Irish side was in like Flatbush in Brooklyn. And what were they like? They were all drunks and drug addicts, and my Puerto Rican side was all drug addicts. Oh, I'm saying? I came over a long line of junkies.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Wow. I guess, though, in the 70s and 80s, it wasn't like frowned upon. It was like cool to do that shit. You know what I'm saying? So it was cool to be wild and fucking just, I don't know, I guess. Were they ever affiliated or were they just slinging on their own? Nah, my uncle's, my oldest uncle, whose name was Angier. He was the one that ran everything in Coney Island.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So all my other uncles that were younger than him dealt for him or they just robbed the other drug dealers or, you know, they were just wild individuals. Oh, really? Yeah, absolutely. Did they ever have to get active? Like, did they have... Yeah, all my uncle's been to jail, knew, did most of their lives in jail.
Starting point is 00:08:06 You know what I'm saying? Oh, shit. Absolutely. Oh, that's crazy. You're all right? You're sleeping over there? I can hear you fucking snoring. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I'm dead ass. How you knew I thought you knew you were sleeping? Bro, go in the tree house, bro. You can take a nap in the treehouse. Yeah. Who's this? My man, Paz. Paz.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, he smokes and he gets stupid. You know what I'm saying? He goes into a coma. No, they're not. The Coney Island legend. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, fast. I was going to say Coney Islander.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Hey, what's up, guys? Sorry to interrupt this amazing program, but I need a little bit of help. If you're watching this on YouTube, you can probably see our subscriber number right down here. And if you're able to, it would mean the world if you could subscribe. That is the best way to support this show. Because when you subscribe, I'm able to show it to potential guests or to different brands and stuff like that. And it really, really helps grow the show, get us cooler guests, have cooler conversations,
Starting point is 00:08:56 and it helps everything so, so much. So, if you don't mind, thank you so much. Let's get back to it. I want to know more a little bit about like Coney Island growing up. Did they ever tap you to be like, yo, Nems, can you like be a lookout for us? Can you like, you know, make sure the cops are around? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:09 From, so from Coney Island, I stayed there until I was about 13. Then we moved to Staten Island. I went to high school out there for one year. Then I got set a fire in the school. Wait, okay. How did you set a fire at school? I was just talking to a girl one day fucking around with the lighter and the oak tag went on fire.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And I just was, instead of putting it out, Real quick, I just ran. So I couldn't go to New York Public High School for a year, so I went to the Poconos and stayed with my Irish side grandparents. They moved up there. They bought a house up there, and I went to school in the Poconos for like a year two. And that's where I started rapping because I didn't have no friends. I would just go to school, come home.
Starting point is 00:09:48 My grandparents would be old. I would just be in my little room I had. And I was like, I didn't got nothing else to do. I started writing raps. And then after the year, suspension in New York. York went up. I came back to school in New York. I got into a fight with a teacher. I beat the teacher up. Why did you beat the teacher up? I don't remember. What I'm saying? It starts getting a blur at this time because that's when I started fucking with drugs. And then I just dropped
Starting point is 00:10:15 out. I got my GED. School was never hard for me. I sure was mad easy. Did you show up? Yeah. Take a test. Simple. Really? Absolutely. Did you like Staten Island? No, but it taught me a whole way, different way of life Because up to 13, I just knew the hood I just knew the ghetto and shit like that When I moved to Staten Island, it opened my eyes To a whole other world, the suburbs, you know what I'm saying? Italian kids, white kids, and it just showed me a whole different way of life
Starting point is 00:10:47 So at 18, when I moved back to Coney Island I just had a different perspective on things And I had a lot of more connects. I had ecstasy connects to bring back to the hood and sell it out there. And I had weed connects. So it was just, you know, expanding my horizons. Yeah, that's interesting. You got to see a whole different perspective of how people were living.
Starting point is 00:11:09 You know, people with houses. Two kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice way of living. Like, oh, this ain't the projects. This is different over here. And just expanded my mind. When did you become funny?
Starting point is 00:11:20 I think probably the year. younger years because when I came up, when I was like 13, 14, 15, I really started being outside like that. I was outside from young because I started smoking weed at 11. So I can't imagine an 11-year-old smoking weed now. These kids are pussy now. But we used to be outside. Before cell phones and the internet, it was like I had to go outside.
Starting point is 00:11:50 You come home from school, you go outside. but you don't have a cell phone you don't have a beeper so it's like once you're outside you're outside everybody meets up on the corner at the store
Starting point is 00:12:01 and we hang out there that's where we hang out all night you drink 40s you smoke blunts and you joke on each other and if you fucking are getting flamed every night it's not a good night
Starting point is 00:12:11 so you get tough skin but you also learn how to joke on people you know what I'm saying because I'm not going to be the victim every night you know what I'm saying so now as soon as soon as I walk on the corner
Starting point is 00:12:21 I'm looking at what everybody got on how they look and because they're not going to do it to me so I'm going to start with them and then it just becomes you know real New York shit. It's like prison you've got to strike first. Absolutely. Just automatically just scanning everyone. Yeah. Ain't no fucking campfire is intense
Starting point is 00:12:37 over there, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Do you remember the worst flaming you ever got? Like you like pull up just thinking you're going to hang out with everyone and you just got absolutely just wrecked? See, before you told me you want stories but I'm not a good storyteller because I did a lot of drugs and I don't remember a lot of shit that happened in my life. I just remember
Starting point is 00:12:53 I think me joking and being funny now with the disrespect shit is one of the few good things that drugs did to my mind. You know what I'm saying? Because you always hear the negative effects of drug usage. But I think like one of the positive things that drugs morphed my mind, I was doing Xanax and ecstasy and all of that from like 13, 14, 15 years old. So that's when your brain is just developing. And then at 18, I became a fucking heroin addict.
Starting point is 00:13:22 You know what I'm saying? until like 26. So my whole upbringing is drugs, you know what I'm saying? So that shit warped my mind and who knows what type of fucking ways. You know what I'm saying? But one way I guess positive is I'm able to fucking spot what somebody looks like
Starting point is 00:13:40 in two seconds. I don't know why. Yeah. How often were you doing ecstasy? Were you going to school? No, it was a daily basis. When I came back from Staten Island at 18 and moved back to Coney Island,
Starting point is 00:13:52 I started selling it because nobody in Coney Island had ecstasy. And the rappers were just starting to talk about it. Like the hood wasn't fucking with ecstasy, but the suburbs were. So when the Staten Island, I was already popping E like maybe once a week, every weekend. But then when I started selling it, it was become a soon as I wake up, take a half, ride up and down Mermaid Avenue with my bike trying to, yo, I got E. Y, I don't take their hair.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Take my beeper number when you fucking, when you want to do it. I got it. Boom, more. And then all day, I would wind up taking like two, three a night. And then I remember I would always keep five in my sock just so if somebody wants, I'll sell it to them. And then after those five run out, go back up to my house, refill the five. So I think it was on like two or three. And then the D's ran up on us.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I took all of them that was in my socks. So I wanted to be on like eight E pills. And that shit just fucked me up for like a month. every time I would stand up I would get like lightheaded I was definitely severely dehydrated but I didn't know I didn't go to the hospital now
Starting point is 00:14:58 I'm just like I'm fucked up I remember I was dealing with Def Jam at the time they wanted to sign me and I went up there and I was just like severely out of and they was like yo you're all right I was like yeah I'm just been up all night or whatever the fuck and so yeah from from early on I was fucking with drugs
Starting point is 00:15:16 Did anyone tell you not to? Were you going home and your mom was like, yo, what are you doing? No, because, see, my mom was a drug addict and she stayed clean until I was like 16. And that's why we had to move back to Coney Island because she bought a house, but then she relapsed when I was like 16,
Starting point is 00:15:35 lost the house and we were back in Coney Island. When we first got back, she was running the streets, getting high. And then when I started using heroin, and she had gotten clean and she's been clean ever since. My mother's been clean for like 25 years or something like that. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, so nobody really, I knew the, you know, it wasn't cool to be.
Starting point is 00:15:57 None of my friends that I had were drug addicts. None of them were doing heroin. Oh, really? Yeah, I was the only one. I see, I wasn't a person that was public with my shit. I would do my shower, go to the bathroom, do my shit, come back out and hang out with the regular people. You know what I'm saying? And you'd be able to fit in and, like, be cool.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah, but then people would see me gnaw and now and then start, you know, the word started coming out, but it's still, I wouldn't hang out with any drug addicts. It was like, yo, I'm not a fiend, you know what I'm saying? I'm not a crackhead. I'm not a, you know, and I would justify like, yeah, I don't smoke crack. I don't shoot needles. So, like, you know, I don't give, you know, I'm not a fiend. But then, you know, it came to a point where I was just like, I was willing to do that.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I still never did. I never used no needle. I never shot needles and shit like that. But it just was, it had gotten bad enough where I was like, yeah, maybe I have. That should start and that shit just scared me. No, that's the problem. I've seen that happen with different people like with alcohol where like they're so high functioning
Starting point is 00:16:50 that it goes on for Madlong because they don't, it doesn't destroy their life. There's other people that are not as high function. My life was destroyed. By the end of it, like I told you from 18, I started 18. So my, by 19, I was already doing prison, like had prison bids and for robberies and all of that. I didn't get cleaned until 26.
Starting point is 00:17:12 So for eight years, I was a heroin addict. In the beginning, it was cool. Nobody really knew. I was doing gangster shit. I was sticking people up doing this. But by the end, I was homeless. I was a bum. I was sleeping in staircases,
Starting point is 00:17:29 sleeping on the lifeguard chairs in Coney Island, fucking not showering for fucking a week at a time. Going in and out of jail, going in and out of rehab, in and out of detox. And it wasn't fun. I had a development deal with Shady on the table. I lost out on that.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Because you're rapping the whole time through this. Yeah, I never stopped rapping. You know what I'm saying? But it just became... I just had given up on everything and just said, fuck it. I'm gonna be a fucking drug addict, I guess. Damn.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And then I just had like a moment of clarity. One day, like, I was on like a three-week run. I stole this fucking prescription pad from a doctor. All of them were already. He, like, stamped every page already. So I was taking mad scripts out, selling them. So I was on like a three-weeks. three-week run where I hadn't slept, I hadn't fucking showered, I hadn't fucking done,
Starting point is 00:18:20 where it just was like, my mind was like at a psychosis type of level where I just see myself from the outside looking in or some people call it divine intervention. I don't know what the fuck happened, but it was like I was looking at myself from the outside, like, it was like, yo, I could keep going how I'm going. I'm going to be fucking dead real soon. or I'm going to do something that's going to land me in jail the rest of my life or I could stop everything right now and live my dreams
Starting point is 00:18:51 and that night I went to my mother's house because she was already stopped dealing with me and she wouldn't let me stay with her, nothing. I was like, yo mom, please let me stay in your house just for one night. I want to stop this shit. And from that night, I never touched nothing again.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Really? That's like 14, 15 years ago. Just willpower. Yeah, but I've been to play. I've been to, man, I've been like 40 detoxes I've been to, like, 10 rehabs. I've been church people praying over me. I wasn't able to stop. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:19 There's one, like, fucking one night, like, just scared the shit out of me. And I, like, seeing myself how I was going to, how life was going to be. And I just stopped. And from that point on, I don't drink. I don't smoke weed. I don't do nothing. This vape shit is the only thing left. Cigarettes, nicotine.
Starting point is 00:19:40 You know, I stopped smoking cigarettes. this fucking vape shit, but that's about it. Wow. You know what I'm saying? Never touched nothing since that day. I mean, that must be painful, though, right? Like detoxing, you get mad sick. Yeah, you had to go through it.
Starting point is 00:19:50 It is what it is? So you spent what, three weeks just cooped up? More like three fucking months. Wow. You know what I'm saying? To really get that shit out of me and really start sleeping a full night's sleep, probably like three months. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:02 But I was determined. And I knew that I only had to do this shit one more time. Like, once I get this shit done, and it wasn't like every night of the three months I couldn't sleep, it was like, all right, the first week, two weeks, it was like I was getting an hour asleep. Then it was like two hours. Then it was three. And then it was like, you know, all right, now I'm starting to feel better and get better. And I stayed out of Coney Island for like the first 60 days. I didn't even get a hair cut, nothing. I was like, nah, I'm not even, I'm not going
Starting point is 00:20:30 back over there for a while. Wow. I don't want to be influenced by people, places like this is, I got to chill. And then I started and just enjoying music again. And then I started getting my emotions back because when you're drugged up you don't feel no emotions there's no happy there's no sad it's just high it masks it masks all your emotions so I started you know like the fucking ASPA commercial come on I would start tearing up and about what the fuck is going on yeah yeah yeah the Sarah McLaughlin shit the son you know I'm up in there start tearing yo what the fuck is going on how am I fucking crying at this commercial and then it'll be like yo my emotions are coming back my feelings are coming back and then uh I just started
Starting point is 00:21:11 living the dream, man. And it's just proofing to put it. Ever since I stopped, bro, my life has been going up, up, up. And the mother that told me she wished I would die so she could start worrying about me, I bought her a house. You know what I'm saying? And I bought myself a house. And it's just living successfully since then.
Starting point is 00:21:29 That's the coldest bar. That's the coldest bar in Bingbaugh, I think. And that in the song you put out, you ain't make it until you bought your mom on the house. Stupid. Yeah, yeah, facts. Okay, the stupid was another. You don't have to call me stupid.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That was just for you, bro. That's not even in the song. You got curly hair. It's not even in the fucking song, you just added that for no reason. How long have you had the curly mullet? I've been running it probably like five years. What do you use?
Starting point is 00:21:47 Per plus? No, bro, natural. Natural? Yeah, bro. New York City tap water, that's all. That's ain't nothing wrong with that, bro. That's all you need, bro. I grew up my hair because I was like,
Starting point is 00:21:55 I'm going to cut it when I have to get a real job. You ain't get any real job since. Facts. I was in college. I was like, once I get my 9 to 5, then I'll cut it. Never did. So don't grow past that length?
Starting point is 00:22:06 I get a little trim every now. You don't get the split ends out of it. They don't teach you how to have long hair. I wear women's hair products now. It's the whole thing. You're not wrong with that. It is what it is. You're a metrosexual.
Starting point is 00:22:16 You guys got to stop with this term, metrosexual. New Yorkers are metrosexual, bro. I'm metro. I'm in the metro-politian, and I'm a fucking sexual basting. That's what I'm saying, bro. So all your emotions come online, not only the sad ones, but you probably are feeling angry all of a sudden. All of that.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Like, the good emotions and the bad. Like, you're feeling everything. Yeah, yeah. That must have been crazy. It is what it is. The anger comes to like, damn, I wasted this much of my life fucking up. But everything happens for a reason. Everything happens.
Starting point is 00:22:47 It don't happen when you wanted to. It happens when it's supposed to. You know what I'm saying? And who made me this way? Why did I become a drug addict? Oh, my father died at four. That had a part. I didn't properly get that out.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Oh, my mother was a drug addict. I had to see her running the street. Yeah, yeah. It was a million people's faults but my own. Once you take accountability for yourself, Then you're like, all right, it don't matter what was done to me or who did it. I got to deal with these issues now. Don't matter where they came from, I got them.
Starting point is 00:23:18 So now, let's try to fucking fix them. And it's a daily process. I still to this day, man, I wake up. I do a mental gratitude list when I wake up. I look at the ceiling. I'm in my own house, man. I'm not waking up in a fucking cell. I'm not waking up in detox.
Starting point is 00:23:33 I'm not waking up in rehab. I don't have to fucking go and rob somebody right now just to get the next fucking hit. You know what I'm saying? Just that alone I'm grateful for. Yo, I could wake up and do whatever the fuck I want. If I want to go buy a fucking car right now, I could go buy one. If I want to go buy another chain, I'll go buy one.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I could do whatever I want. I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful to stand up on my own accord. You know what I'm saying? I'm grateful to not have a cold. You know what I'm saying? Because there's times when you have a sore throat, you're like, fuck, man, this shit sucks. I wish I didn't have it.
Starting point is 00:24:03 You don't realize how nice breathing is until you get a science effect. Facts. Yeah, so. I wish I can breathe. remember and you're like, yo, I'm grateful just for that, man. So it's a daily thing, you know. Because my first reaction is always negative. I always think somebody's trying to get over on me.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Because I've been on that side of life. After you rob your own mother, everybody else is fair game. You know what I'm saying? So once I saw that a human being, which was myself, could get to those type of levels where everybody's a target. It was like, it's very hard to trust, whether in relationships, whether in friendships. It's very hard
Starting point is 00:24:40 because you always think somebody's trying to get over on you because you were that person. That's the old quote, thieves think every man steals. Absolutely. And if you're stealing, it's like, yo,
Starting point is 00:24:48 this guy being nice to me right now, he's probably trying to steal for me too. Exactly. Because that's what I would do if I was out. 100%. Damn. Is the first time you robbed someone?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Is that nerve-wracking? I robbed somebody when I was fucking 12. Me and my friend from school used to just go to the next neighborhood over from Coney Island, which is like, Gravesend or Bensonhurst and just like fucking rob kids and this is before I was even a drug addict
Starting point is 00:25:15 It's crazy So I was already used to that type of living I don't even remember the first person I robbed Really? It was just like normal being the fucking deviant back then I don't know why that's the way we grew up But you were young I feel like most of the rob it happens from like young kids Absolutely
Starting point is 00:25:29 Like it's like 12 to like 19 It's kind of like younger dudes Absolutely Like I didn't realize someone told me that I aged out of out of being robbed. Like, someone told me that. They're like, I was like, bro, I'm afraid getting robbed.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Like, when I first moved to New York, I was like 20-something. And I was like, bro, what if someone tries to rob me? And they're like, no, it's going to be like kids trying to rob like a 19-year-old. Like, someone that's like an easy lick. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. They don't want to deal with you. Like, is that true? 100%.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Like, it's just like teenage kids looking for like a 19-year-old with new sneakers. Yeah, but then you get drug addicts that are fucking, they got to do shit that they're forced to. So you might be just walking down the block and be the only person walking down the block. You know what I'm saying? Did you ever see someone do the, what they call it the buck 50? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Really? I was in jail. I saw it. It's crazy. Can you explain what that is for people I don't know? A buck 50 is a slice with a razor across your cheek and they say it's 150 stitches. So catch the buck 50. I see some people's faces open up crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Blood squirt out and then sometimes there's no blood and they just hold it. They don't even know that. Some people think they're punched in the face and then they're like, oh shit, I'm bleeding. Oh, my shit is open. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's crazy. Absolutely. Was that like a gang initiation thing?
Starting point is 00:26:34 In the 90s, it was like the Bloods to get initiated into the Bloods. And like when the Bloods first came to New York, that was a thing. And I've seen people get Buck 15 in Coney Island and the Rides. Like I would say, yeah, that was like an initiation. On the rides? In the rides, like in the, you know, while you walk into the next ride or something. Oh, that's crazy. It's like, oh, shit, you punched me.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Oh, shit, I'm bleeding. He ain't punched me. You fucking cut my shit open. Oh, fuck. Yeah, facts. And you, like, saw shootings and shit probably. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. I've seen crazy shit. I'm definitely seeing shootings.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah, absolutely. Coney Island, you see that shit becomes normal. The sound of gunshots come normal. Just like when I was a drug addict, I used to think getting locked up and going to rehab was like a normal thing. When you grew up in Coney Island, you just think shootings and stabbings and living that grimy side of life is normal and it's completely the opposite. Now that I live on this side of life and I'm living, you know, kind of somewhat a good life. Just a regular taxpayer. Absolutely. A taxpaying citizen, productive member of the fucking society. Now you feel like, yo, what are you cops doing here?
Starting point is 00:27:41 Get the fuck out of here, bro. I pay your salary. Why is their construction here, bro? What's going on here, man? What the fuck? I'm paying for this shit. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, but...
Starting point is 00:27:51 It's crazy to think, like, how you... I think you had mentioned this before in a different combo, but, like, you can't even put your brain back to where you were in that time. Absolutely not. I remember... I was... I got arrested probably like
Starting point is 00:28:06 five, six, seven years ago where I had to go to the bookings overnight. I told some guy was parked somewhere at Coney Island. I was like, yo, get the fuck out that spot, man. I want to park there. And he was like, nah, I'm just like a Mexican guy or something. I pulled out like my time
Starting point is 00:28:22 I was sanitation. I pulled it out. Yo, police, get the fuck out that spot. He called the cops on me. So I got arrested for impersonating a cop. So while I'm sitting in the bookings, I'm like, this is disgusting. What am I doing here?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Like, this is, how am I in this situation? Like, like, I used to think this was normal. It's so far from normal. It's disgusting to be locked up. Like, this is the bottom of the barrel. And, you know, it was normal to me. It was normal. I remember I got arrested in, like, a month, like four times.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I had to go to Rikers Island. It was just the whole shit was just normal. How was Rikers? Rikers Island is, First going in there, scary as fuck. But then, once you hold your own, and you're just like, all right, you commit to yourself that, and like I said, all my uncles are in jail.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So once I spoke to them, it was like, all right, there's three rules when you get locked up. You don't fuck with a ho-ha-ha-ha-ha. You know, nothing against that. If you're gay, nothing, but that's one of the rules. If you're not gay, don't fuck with the-h-ha. Don't fuck with drugs because you're going to always owe money and don't gamble.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Those are the three things that always get you in some shit. You know what I'm saying? And if you fuck with drugs, they're going to look at you and try to test you. You know what I'm saying? So my uncles told me that, so I stayed away from that. And then you just make a pact with yourself
Starting point is 00:29:51 like, all right, no matter what happens, I'm not going to let nobody take advantage of me. So once you stand on that, people see. You don't start problems, But also, you don't let nothing come your way that you're not, once they see that you're willing to stand up for yourself, it's not really big deal, right? Because it's not people getting, shit like that.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Like the movies make you think, nah, it's not nothing like that. Once you hold your own and people notice that, you're all right. Did people try to fight you? No, more people try to fucking rap with me when I was in there fucking, when I, because I went on the run for like four years. and when I finally got caught I was doing this thing called Fight Club where I was battling
Starting point is 00:30:34 it came out on MTV and so people had already seen it when I was locked up and then people knew I was a rapper already and won a battle and then this already had like a little name and then you meet people you know you see other people in there
Starting point is 00:30:48 from Coney Island or other people that you fucking know what I'm saying and then you know the world gets around Namsa's hair, solid a guy you know what I'm saying and it's not as bad as you would think That's interesting Were there ever any mob connections
Starting point is 00:31:02 In Coney Island Like were there mafia dudes Like Italian guys They are But they're like towards the outskirts They you know They own shit of the rides And shit like that
Starting point is 00:31:10 But back of the days Like that's where Al Capone Got his buck 50 That's why he became Scarfeet Why they call him Scarface Because he got cutting his face In Coney Island Oh really
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yeah yeah Lucky Luciano All of the mobbuses And like the Prohibition Like right before Prohibition Their headquarters Like Coney Island back in the day.
Starting point is 00:31:29 That's interesting. Yeah, it's crazy. Some Puerto Riga slashed them. Yeah, in fact. Now, Puerto Ricans ain't come to Coney Island to like the 1950s when they started putting projects and when man, Puerto Ricans came from Puerto Rico.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Why do Puerto Riggans love the flag so much? I don't know. We represent. Where's yours? You don't have your flag on right now. Well, so on. I got a tattoo on my fucking ass. That counts.
Starting point is 00:31:48 That counts. I do see it, bro, Puerto Riggans love that flag. Yo, we were, I was, who was I talking about that the other day? She was like, yo. Um. to wave the flag in the United States when they first took it.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Mm. Now, look, Albanians and Puerto Ricans are the two, like, most proud people. Like, you see that on the back of cars. Yeah. You see the flags waving everywhere. Like, that fucking double eagle, the fucking Albanian flag and the Puerto Rican.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Like, those two groups represent. I don't know. I don't know why. Italians, too, though. See, man. Hey, yeah. Whoa. See the sausages around my fucking neck.
Starting point is 00:32:33 What's up, guys? We're going to take a break really quick because it's 2024. And it's time to talk about something important. When you are seriously hurt, your injury could be worth millions. Yes, that's right. The world is a crazy place
Starting point is 00:32:45 and one person's negligence can result in another's settlement. And that's why I got to talk to you about Morgan and Morgan. Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. They have over 100 offices nationwide and over a thousand lawyers. Yes, these are the big boys.
Starting point is 00:33:01 You know them, you see them, you see their billboards all over the world. If you ever drove down I-90 from Florida to New York, I'm telling you, you've seen the billboards, all right? Have you ever watched a UFC fight? You've seen them right on the banner. I'm telling you, these are the biggest guys in the game, all right? With over $20 billion recovered for over 500,000 clients,
Starting point is 00:33:19 Morgan and Morgan has a proven track record of fighting to get you full and fair compensation. The annoying thing with most attorneys is that in order to submit a claim, you've got to call them up, you've got to talk to their people, you got to go back and forth on emails, you got to hope that they see it, they might charge you just even look at their claim. Here's the cool thing with Morgan and Morgan. With eight clicks or less, you can submit a claim, and one of their licensed attorneys will take a look at it and get back to you. It's that easy. It's like ordering something off Amazon.
Starting point is 00:33:43 It's just a couple clicks. You can submit your claim very easily and cheap. Yeah, how about zero dollars? That's how much it costs to submit a claim with Morgan and Morgan. Extremely easy. No fee required. So, if you are ever injured, you can. go check out Morgan and Morgan. Their fee is free unless they win. That's right, unless they win
Starting point is 00:34:02 for you. Unless they fight and get you compensation, you're not paying a single dollar. That's a pretty good deal. So for more information, go to for the people.com slash gagnon. That's correct. F-O-R-the-people.com slash gagnon or dial pound law. That's pound five-29 from your cell phone. That's for the people, F-O-R-the-people.com slash gagnon, or dial pound-law, pound-529 from your cell phone. This is a paid advertisement. Now let's get back to the show after the short disclaimer. What do you know about Albanians? You ever hanged
Starting point is 00:34:36 with Albanians growing? Absolutely. I have a lot of Albanian friends. My neighbors right now are Albanian. People not from New York or Albania don't understand Albanians. Yo, Albanians are fucking they're solid people. There's definitely solid.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Every Albanian I met they're down motherfuckers. They're what they like. They like a little bit Italian, even though they have nothing to do with Italy and not buy Italy. But they like Italians, but like Eastern European Italians. Like they, they, but I grew up with a lot of Albanians, even in high school. When I went in Staten Island, there was Albanians. And I had a lot of good friends that were Albanians.
Starting point is 00:35:18 They're just solid. I can't really explain. They're just like kind of Italian, but not. Scary whites though. Absolutely. That was some of the scariest whites. Like Eastern European. They're not Russian, but they're not, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:32 They're fucking, I don't even know where to fuck Albania is. You? I think it's near Coney Island, bro. I think so. I've heard that a lot of Albanians are dormant. Have you ever heard that? Like, in New York. Oh, I think you meant dormant.
Starting point is 00:35:45 No, no, no. They do not. Oh, like, dormant. Like, they open the... Like, they run buildings? Nah, I haven't seen that. Do you feel like there's stereotypical jobs where it's like, yo, if you're Yemeni, like, you run like a bodega?
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yeah, facts. You run a store, right? Absolutely. Like, who are the barbers? Like, is there, like, in Coney Island? Nah. Nah, the most of the barbers I know are black in Coney Island. Mm.
Starting point is 00:36:09 My fucking barber is fucking Puerto Rican and fucking Arab. I don't know what type of Arab. Maybe Yemeni. Oh, really? Yeah, I guess his mom smashed one of the store on. You know what I'm saying? I mean, he does a good job. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:22 He does a good job. You should. Yeah. Yeah. And so when did you start actually battle rapping? That was, as soon as I started. the rapping. My first rap I ever wrote was a battle rap. I battled the kid in the Poconos and fucking flamed them. I would just see kids rapping. Poconos, that's not. Yeah. Come on, bro. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:36:38 facts, but it was my... But your first rap, though, you know what I'm saying? You were just being mean to a kid in the polonaugh, you know, facts. Now, I would see kids rapping the whole year, and I'd be, I could do what these kids are doing, and I just would study whoever who I thought was the best one. I just spent a year, like, studying was that last day of school, I was like, y'all rap, and I just flamed them. And I liked that reaction that I got. And, uh, just, how would it work? It'd be like after school, like, everyone would pull up? Nah, so you know, like, the end of the school year, the classes and like, not really classes.
Starting point is 00:37:07 You're just bullshit in the class. So they're rapping in class. Because the polka knows, to be real, it's like mad hood. People don't know that. I didn't know that. You think it's like country, the pot. Nah, mad people from the city moved there. There's mad bloods, mad all types of gangs out there.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It's crazy. So the kids were just rapping at school. and the kid was in my class and I just like I said I told him I said yo I rap and it was like yeah right yeah right because I was always mad quiet
Starting point is 00:37:35 I stayed to myself because I came home to New York every weekend like Friday after school I would come stay at my mother's house you know what I'm saying whatever and I just flamed the kid
Starting point is 00:37:44 and that was like the last day of school and then fucking I just kept doing it and then when did it actually become like real where it wasn't like after school but it was like an actual like yo we're going to rap when I came back to New York
Starting point is 00:37:56 this was pre-Myspace, pre- YouTube. To get your name out there, you had to be outside. Every couple days, they would have events in the city. Like, yo, we having this battle or this, this, and open mic, and I would just hit everything that I could and just get my name out there. Was it ever nerve-wracking? Were you scared? Nah, never.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Really? I get more, I don't really get nervous now. Even on the tour, wasn't he really nervous? The only time I really could say that I was nervous is I didn't battle for mad long And then I took a battle with one of these battle leagues King of the Dot And I battled this guy had ice
Starting point is 00:38:35 And before When I was used to do the battle And I was always getting high And then this time I was already clean at this time And I was, I don't know I caught like an anxiety attack before this shit I was like yo this is mad nerve wracking And yeah that's the only time I really got nervous though
Starting point is 00:38:51 How'd you do? I won Oh hell yeah Yeah You went 20? you know? Yeah, absolutely. At the fight club shit.
Starting point is 00:38:56 That's crazy. I beat everybody. Never lost. No, I went 20 and O and then I wound up being like 26, 25 or 30. I don't know. I lost like three or four times.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Was it a good loss? Yeah, yeah. No, I take the loss. Absolutely, yeah, yeah. Do you remember any of the bars? You're like, fuck. I just remember, yo, your mother's a gunter.
Starting point is 00:39:17 I'll take your newborn daughter and punter. Some shit. Just take your newborn daughter and punter. That's it. Did you have a kid? I'm kidless. I shoot blanks.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Now, my pull-out game is immaculate. Oh, really? Absolutely. You had girls growing up? Like, you had game? Yeah, hell yeah. I got mad girls pregnant. I got like three, four girls pregnant back in the day.
Starting point is 00:39:37 They just all had abortions. No way. Unbeknownst to me. Oh, yo, she was pregnant, yo. She had an abortion. I was like, damn. I would have told her to keep it. So your pull-out game wasn't perfect?
Starting point is 00:39:47 Back then, no. But now it is. And so what was your angle if you were trying to, like, talk to girls? You don't remember me? No, I'm the fucking man of your dreams And when they laugh Oh, see, I got you laughing, come in

Starting point is 00:40:36 It's just like it's one, it's useless, but two, after a while you just start looking at it from a female's perspective, yo, how many times is she getting this a day? I'm sure it's exhausting. I'm sure she don't even want this shit done. Even if she likes you, she ain't even going to turn around. So it's just like, yeah. I like this new NEMS, bro. This is cool.
Starting point is 00:40:55 You're a reformed scumbag. Absolutely. That's beautiful. There's still times that the scumbag comes out. Schombag. What's Schombag? What's Schombag?

Starting point is 00:45:45 in the other episodes, is Trent interviewing. My episodes is all me interviewing. You know what I'm saying? And then I bring them to different people. Like my man Paz, I told him he was the original. The first one, I was like, yo, Paz, be here at this time, nah, da, dot. And he was working sanitation and he didn't want to, he didn't show up.

Starting point is 01:00:10 in the strip club, but you got a bottle, bitches are still come to you because you feed in their addictions. Yeah, yeah, drink, drink, drink.

Starting point is 01:07:44 French Canadians is not Latin bro Bro, they speak the Latin root It don't matter what the root is How can Spanish they get to be Latin? I don't know That's what I'm saying bro They speak Spanish Not French Canadian

Starting point is 01:08:04 I'm fucking Latino. Yo, can you explain all the boroughs of New York? Yeah. Like, someone that's not a New Yorker, right? I just moved up here. I live in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah. But I don't live in regular Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I live in Williamsburg. Yeah, that's like Manhattan South. Okay. You know what I'm saying? But Brooklyn, Brooklyn is where everybody wants to be. Somebody knows, wherever you go in the world, you tell them you're from Brooklyn. They're going to be like they know somebody from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Brooklyn is the epicenter of New York. That's the heartbeat of New York. Bronx is like, Bronx is dirty. Bronx is grimy. You know what I'm saying? Bronx is the grimy part in New York. I used to argue about not Brooklyn and the Bronx. Not the bronx is the grimy is burrow by far.
Starting point is 01:08:51 And not in the bad way, just, you know, the Bronx is different. Even me, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm from the hood. I'm from Coney Island. I go to the Bronx and be like, damn, it's bad out here. You know what I'm saying? The Bronx is grimy. Queens is where you're going to settle down.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Queens got every nationality in the world is in Queens. And Queens probably out of the five boroughs got the most beautiful women. Really? That's what I think. Actually, you know, Manhattan, you can't really... Manhattan is just the epicenter of the fucking world. Everybody wants to be from... Everybody loves New York is the most unique place.
Starting point is 01:09:27 I've been around the whole country. We've been... We saw 31 of the 48 lowest states in the last two months on tour. There's nothing that even compares to New York. You know what I'm saying? Chicago's close. But there's nothing that compares to New York City. 24 hours, everything you could have, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:47 it's like the epicenter. It's the dopest place in the world. And then Staten Island is... Staten Island gets a bad rap. I don't mind Staten Island. Really? I like Staten Island. Staten Island is, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:00 Staten Island is the sibling nobody you don't really fuck with. They're, like, weird, but they're still cool. They're still your family, you know what I'm saying? Staten Island is cool, though. Staten Island's where you go when you want to be left to fuck alone. You know what I'm saying? Like, you're going to go out there. Nobody wants to pay that toll.
Starting point is 01:10:16 You know, like if you're anti-social, you move to Staten Island. You know, I'm going to be out here. You know what I'm saying? What about Jersey? Jersey is the red-headed stepchild in New York. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to Jersey next, though. I'm looking for a house out there now.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Really? Yeah, I don't mind Jersey. You would go to Jersey. The older I get, the more I see myself leaving New York. I never saw myself leaving New York before. But Jersey's up there, Florida. The Sixthboro. Yeah, nah.
Starting point is 01:10:45 There's mad Puerto Ricans in Florida. In Orlando. Oh, yeah. Besides Miami and all that. You go to Kissimmee, bro? Yeah, that's a little Puerto Rico right there. That's it, bro. That's it.
Starting point is 01:10:53 That's the thing, actually, that I will say. I think Florida is similarly transient in the way New York is. Like, it's not the exact same. There's not as many types of people. But you grow up in Orlando, bro. You got Vietnamese, you get Haitian. I thought every black person was Haitian for the first, like, 18 years of my life. Fact.
Starting point is 01:11:08 I thought, like, a stereotypical black name was Pierre. That's crazy. Like, for real. That's crazy. I had no idea. And then I didn't even realize, like, Haitians, like, are, like, Asian. You know what I mean? Asian?
Starting point is 01:11:19 All my Haitian friends, their parents are, like, doctors. They're like, go, go be a lawyer or some shit. That is true. They have trash sneakers. Yeah, facts. Like, I had no idea. Like, sneaker culture, like, completely. miss me growing up in Florida.
Starting point is 01:11:31 That's a New York thing specifically. Like sneaker culture because that's your car. Absolutely. You walk around with the fresh sneakers. You have to. Like I never knew that. I would walk around in New York with dusty fucking vans and people would be like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 01:11:43 Yeah, it's like the white girl with the ups. I'm saying? They demolished it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that like if you're going out, sneakers is the number one part of the fit? Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:11:56 The sneakers tie everything together. You have to have nice. sneakers in New York. You have to. What's the classic one? If someone's moving to New York, you're like, I mean, in the summertime, it's Air Force Ones. You can't be the fresh out-the-box pair Air Force ones. For a night out on the town,
Starting point is 01:12:11 but then, you know, it's done after that one wear. For a real night on the town, your shit's is done. Don't wear them again. That's my point. You get one use out of this. You know, $100, bro. Get your money up. You know what I'm saying? Wintertime, it's Timberlands. Oh, really? It's the acceptable thing everywhere you go.
Starting point is 01:12:29 But you can't wear it like a fucking Floridian all tied to the top, strangling your ankles. Choked out. You got to let the fucking tongue breathe. You know what I'm saying? You got to wear them like you don't care. Like you're just slipping them on. Like you're going to the store real quick.
Starting point is 01:12:41 That's how you got to wear your toes. Yeah, prison style. Absolutely. No shoelaces. Facts. Wear thick socks. That's it. Bro, New York is blows my mind.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Like, this is the only place in the world where you'll see New Yorkers walking out of the street fighting nobody. Bro, I notice this. Every time I walk around, there's one guy just fucking shadow boxing, just on the train to no one. There's one guy rapping to himself, mad obnoxious.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Like, bro, shut the fuck up. On the train, do play music mad loud. Train is the fucking... Would you ever tell a dude to turn the music down? Absolutely. Really? Yo, bro, it's 7 in the morning, bro. Turn that shit the fuck down.
Starting point is 01:13:16 But then, then, that's when you're gonna get into a fight because they're not gonna... If somebody's playing that music that obnoxiously, they're waiting for somebody to tell them, turn it down. They're not gonna... They're not the fucking best... mental health person you'll ever meet, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:13:31 They want, they're waiting for somebody to fuck up their vibe so they can fuck up their vibe. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're looking for a problem. Yeah, you got to know how to spot these things. Yeah. Sometimes it's, the lesser evil is just staying quiet and just waiting to the next stop and going to the next train. Keep it moving.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Yeah. What do you do when showtime happens on the train? He's just, just act like you're sleeping. They ain't getting me for a dollar. Are you ever impressed, though? If you see the Showtime dudes, they were like, yo, that's fucking crazy. So there's this one video,
Starting point is 01:14:02 that shit went fake viral of me saying to somebody, yo, you got blue eyes, bro. One blue this way, one blue that way. Those are the guys from Times Square that be doing the fucking dancing and fucking getting the tourists for their money. I was coming out of Brooklyn Shop House and I guess it was the end of the night
Starting point is 01:14:17 for the Times Square guys, so they were going to their car. And they was like, yo, Nams, don't disrespect me. My car was parked next to them. So I just thought if they asked, yo, do do us. Don't have a deal. disrespect me.

Starting point is 01:14:57 Dead ass. Bro. Yeah, he's here for a reason, bro. He's a stand-up comedian. That's why he's funny. He's mad funny behind the scenes. He's mad funny naturally. And I think after the heart attacks,
Starting point is 01:15:07 he gets nervous on stage and he tells the jokes too fast now. And then I'll be sitting in the front like with the meme. Like, come on, you better fucking do good. And then he gets even more nervous. And he'd be like, man, fuck that. I'm done.
Starting point is 01:15:19 I'm out of here. You ain't laughing. Yeah. You have been beating a fight? Absolutely. I've been jumped when I was little. I got hit in the back of the head with a great goose bottle before.
Starting point is 01:15:30 Damn. How did that happen? How did that happen? It was in Coney Island, too. I was, man, high, and I was trying to rob somebody. Like, some kid that came to buy pills I didn't have on me, and I told the guys that was hanging out in front of the bill. Yo, let me get the gun.
Starting point is 01:15:45 I'm going to go rob him. And I guess I was so twisted. There was like, nah, he ain't giving you no fucking gun. And I started cursing. Y'all, pussy. I don't remember what happened, but I was cursing them out. And all I remember is waking up. And the girl I was with was, like,
Starting point is 01:15:58 standing over me like, y'all, leave him alone. And so what I guess what they told me happened is they hit me in the back of the head with a fucking bottle knocked me out. What I'm saying? Damn. So that's not really lost though, right? Yeah, they got you. Yeah, they got me.

Starting point is 01:34:35 Facts. I'm just like, and you grow up in New York, you see everything. Yeah, that's normal. You see everything. Absolutely. You think, like, this is a good place to raise kids? Yeah, you know, why? Because you grow them up
Starting point is 01:34:47 with a unique aspect. And they grow up not being pussy. You know what I'm saying? You fucking grow up other places. You come to New York, you get scared. When you grow up in New York, you go anywhere else. You feel like the man. You feel like whatever they could throw at you, you've already
Starting point is 01:35:03 seen worse. You know what I'm saying? So it gives you a different type of perspective on life. You think kids today are too soft? Absolutely. They don't come outside. Go outside, interact with other people, man. Like, even in your neighborhood, do you not see, like, kids on around? Oh, these kids don't be outside like that, bro.
Starting point is 01:35:20 Really? In the summertime, they're not fucking blowing up fucking phone booths with blockbusters or M-I mean. They don't even have blockbusters or M-80s no more. You know what I'm saying? They want to stay in and fucking be on their phone, be on the fucking computer. You're going to have a whole society of fucking vaginas. You know what I'm saying? Go outside, man.

Starting point is 01:36:27 Ah. Yeah, facts. That's a New York thing that doesn't exist anywhere else. I remember the summer, I just walked around me, and like, why the fuck are their kids playing on a fire? Yeah, when you grow up in the hood and you ain't got money, man, that's a ride. Do you understand why Chinese people would collect them bottles all day? There's money in the streets.
Starting point is 01:36:41 You know how they say there's money in the streets of America? Mm-hmm. That's what they mean. That's what they mean. There's free money in the streets of America. Yeah. So somebody that grew up in America, yeah, that's not something you want to do.
Starting point is 01:36:54 But when you come from a fucking war-torn communist fucking country that you got to wait online for fucking bread, yeah, there's free money. Just go fucking in every garbage and you're going to a dollar each. There's fucking 200 houses on this block. That's $200. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:37:11 There's free money. Yeah. You know what I do that? You don't got to work. You don't got to speak the language. You don't got to interact with nobody. Actually, people will stay away from you.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Yeah. But there's free money in America. No, I don't stay away. I'll collect all my cans and I'll find a dude that's going through the trash. Be like, yo, you just hit the jackpot. Yeah, call the pit boss, baby. There you go.

Starting point is 01:37:50 Oh, really? Yeah. And it still works. Oh, nobody's going to look at the fucking shit. And I cover it up with my sanitation plaque. I cover the date, so you just see the handicapped logo. So you know it's a sign, but you can't see nothing else that says. So, like, ah, he's handicapped.
Starting point is 01:38:04 Oh, he's good. What's the first nice thing that you bought once you started making money, money? Chain. First thing. My other chain. This is my bigger chain, but a chain. Yeah, my chain And then when you bought your mom a house
Starting point is 01:38:19 What was that like? The best feeling in the world To see, like, she started crying Some of my gram, if you scroll back a couple years On my grandparent Like, how'd you do it? I bought it. Was it her spot she was in
Starting point is 01:38:31 Or you found a new spot? No, brand new spot. She was living in an apartment. And she was like, yeah, you should buy a house. I was like, I don't have no kids. I don't want a house. And she was like, why are you making money and you're able to do it, you should do it.
Starting point is 01:38:45 I'm like, yeah, go look for houses. And then she'd be, oh, I like this one. I would, then after a couple, you know, I would start in the beginning, I would look for houses with her. And I'd say, bro, this is annoying. Go look at houses. When you see something you really like, tell me. And then I would pull up.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Nah, nah, no, you liked it? All right. This one's across the street from my sisters around the corner from my fucking brothers. You want this one? All right. All right, let's do it. How much?
Starting point is 01:39:09 It was surprisingly a lot less than I thought it was going to be. Oh, really? Yeah, but, you know, the more you put, then I learned, the more you put, the less the mortgage payments. My mortgage is crazy, my mortgage payments for it. But it is what it is, man. That's, you know, that's the everybody's goal and dream is to buy crib for their mother. I mean, it's a crazy full circle thing. Like, you went from, like, stealing from your mom, having no relationship to them putting her in a house.
Starting point is 01:39:35 Absolutely. That's crazy. And she started crying immediately? Immediately. Did she still talk about it? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:39:43 Like, I'm the, it gets, not embarrassing, but it's just like, all right, enough, chill. Wow. But it's, you know, it's something, as my mother gets older and the more you realize you're not going to have her around forever, shit like that means a lot. You know what I'm saying? To take care of the people that took care of you. Do you think you're going to have kids? Absolutely. It's not for the lack of trying.
Starting point is 01:40:06 I'm trying. It's going to happen. Yeah. It was all of my plans. Like, I didn't want to buy a house, so I hit my 30s and I didn't. That's when it happened. And I was like, I really don't want to have kids. So I'm like in my 40s and that's, you know, it's coming.
Starting point is 01:40:19 Yeah. Absolutely. Yo, do you believe in ghosts? Not really. Not really? Yeah. So you're not afraid of your place being haunted. Yeah, I feel like it is.
Starting point is 01:40:28 I feel like not that it's haunted, I feel like my cousins, Ricky and Takeover, or like the closest to me, they passed away. I feel like sometimes shit falls on the floor that's like, well, how did that shit fall? It'll be like something like, like this shit will be like, like here. I don't have no wind in my house and the shit will fall on the floor. How about, yo, how the fuck did that
Starting point is 01:40:49 how did that happen? That's not like it just fell, the table shook or nothing, nah. Something pushed that shit there. I just look at it like as my cousin's fucking with me. Yo, that's hilarious. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:00 That is, like, is something they would do, right? If they came back as ghosts, they'd be like, just go fuck with them. Absolutely. Yeah, that's hilarious. That's what I would do to my peoples. What about aliens? Aliens, I feel like, yeah.

Starting point is 01:41:21 I've never seen none of that shit. Nah. Nah. That's like Middle America corny shit, making shit up. They ain't got nothing to do. You know what I'm saying? I feel like if aliens had the fucking, the wherewithal to come down here, if they had the technology, they would fucking be here.
Starting point is 01:41:36 Somebody would have seen them already and really caught them on camera. Yeah. Why the fuck nobody caught them for real on camera? Like, not no grainy footage, not no...
