Oh, what you ever, give it?
Come on, NEMS.
Come on, we're gonna edit this out, come on, bro.
What the hell, bro, you can't do that to me?
Hey, yo, I didn't do it to you?
No ditty, you cannot do that.
Come on, NEMS.
If you had a gay guy in your back, would you beat him off or let him stay?
No, you're not getting me again, bro.

Life of death.
I'm gonna push him away from me.
I'm gonna push him away from me.
If there was a bus full of gay guys,

He's a good.
Which one?
I'm pleading the fifth.
The guy wrote you a letter.
Would you write him back or tear it up?
Why is a gay guy write me a letter?
I don't know.
Would you write him back or tear it up?
Pause.
Maybe he's locked up, bro.
Maybe he likes your curly hair.
Maybe.
This is why I can't go to prison, bro.
I'm too cute.
Damn.

Thank you so much for coming through, bro.
No, fuck you, bro.
An EBT DJ Callie, bro, coming through here.
Come on, bro.
Welcome to it.
NEMS.
Yeah.
Guerrilla Nems.
Facts.
What's up, baby?
I fell at home in this fucking weird place.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is the real outside.
Yeah, facts.
Like, when New Yorkers say they're outside,
I don't think they actually mean they're really outside.
Camping is fucking pussy, man.
I fuck that shit.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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
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
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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...
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
How'd you do?
I won
Oh hell yeah
Yeah
You went 20?
you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
At the fight club shit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
Nah, oh, you don't got a minute
I got two here, you can have one of mine
Come here, come here
That's it, that's my game right there
Damn
Yo, that's solid, bro
You gotta just, you gotta be fast-paced
You gotta keep hitting them
You can't let a moment pass with it like
Nah, no, come here, come here, come in
You don't got a minute, give me two
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yo, has Kat-Coh on
ever worked?
Back in the days before social media.
Really?
Absolutely.
Cat calling really worked.
Girl walks by.
It's rare.
It's rare.
And you're mostly doing it for your boys, right?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Now I'm not a cat calling now.
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.
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?
Oh.
I'm like the Italians.
And so when you started actually doing
the Don't Disrespect Me videos.
Yeah.
That was just you living on the street.
Like that's just what you were already doing?
My album was coming out.
What album?
Guerrilla Monsoon.
The Guerrilla Marsoon album was coming out
and it was independent.
I was putting it out myself.
And I didn't,
actually it wasn't.
It was the Congo album,
which was after that,
right after Bing Bong.
It had the song Bing Bong on that album.
So I was like, damn, I'm putting this out myself.
How am I going to get the word out?
Social media.
All right, I got social media.
That's every artist's best platform to use.
So I was like, I got a week,
seven days to my album comes out.
So I just turned on the camera
and I just walked and says,
Don't disrespect my album coming out
looking like whatever the fuck.
I did that like three or four times
and then the next day.
Don't disrespect my album coming out
in six days looking like that.
By the end of the week,
I just kept doing it, five days, four days.
By the end of the week, people will comment
and kind of don't want your album to come out, man.
We want you to keep doing this shit.
Wow.
And I was like, oh, I got something.
Just like when Bing Bong, when I first made that,
I was like, I got something.
Let me make a song called Bing Bong.
When the Sidesaw came,
I made sure I set it on there.
We always been coming up with fucking stupid sayings in terms like Gunther.
Like I call bitches like females Gunters.
Like that's a promiscuous female.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I've been coming up with fly shit all that fuck your life.
I've been saying fuck your life for 20 years since I first started rapping.
The name of my rap group was the fuck your life is my first mixtape is Fuck Your Life Volume 1.
And that came out in 04.
You know what I'm saying?
So I always been doing that.
It's just people are catching up now.
You ever have someone get pissed off
When you film him
And say, yo, don't disrespect him
Only one time
A little gay guy
What happened?
He had like
Like fucking George Washington type hair
He looked weird
He was proud of like
Don't disrespect me
Looking like a fucking mini mob star
That wasn't even a bad one
He was like
You're taping
He came up
He put his hand
I said bro get your hand out of my
I turn the camera
You get your hand out of my face
For I smacked this shit out
He gave me like one of those
Hey man
Like one of those
And he just walked away
But that's only
That's the only time anybody's ever gotten mad.
Even after, like, after you post it?
Yeah, never.
Has people hit you up?
People hit me and be like, oh, can you take that down?
I'll take it down.
No problem, you know what I'm saying?
But unless it got like a couple mills.
I'm like, yo, what's done is done.
I can't take it down.
Casualties of the dice game, bro.
Fuck your life.
But, yeah, nobody really gets mad.
And it's not done to be a bully.
It's not done in any.
negative type of way.
It's just like,
yo, that's how we vibe
in New York, man.
If I don't joke with you
that's, I don't,
I don't fuck with you,
you know what I'm saying?
And most of the time
you don't see people
doing it back to me.
Like, why?
Fuck, yeah.
I just, you know,
they shit don't be funny
so I don't be putting it up.
Do people ever comment
and be like,
yo, I got featured.
Yo, NEMs roasting me.
Absolutely.
I'd be excited.
All the time.
All the time.
If you turn me on the street,
I'd be like,
oh, people ask me to do it to them now,
bro.
Yeah, yo, yo,
When I do get vicious, though, is sometimes when I'm just chilling
and somebody tries to come and do it to me first.
Like, say I'm online, say I'm with a chick, you know,
and they're all, I'm with my boys, and they just try out of nowhere.
Y'all don't disrespect me looking.
Then I'll get vicious when I know no cameras around.
I don't disrespect me with that ugly-ass bitch you with, man.
What the fuck out?
Don't disrespect me with the bum-ass little kid you with, man.
Y'all, I go in sometimes.
I'm like, oh, shit.
You ever look back and like, damn, I really went crazy on that,
Certain people, certain people.
But it is what it is.
Fuck it, man.
Oh, that's fine.
We have fun with it.
That's fine.
Most of the people are in on the joke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's dope.
It's dope.
And then how'd you link with the side talk boys?
They hit me.
Either they hit me or New York Nico introduced us.
Shout to New York Nico.
He's been plugging me since I met him.
Hey, yo, what?
That was crazy.
He's been plugging me with different opportunities since I met him.
But he's super dope.
So either he introduced us.
and then they hit me like,
yo, we want to do an episode
in Coney Island
and I was like, come through.
You know what I'm saying?
And then when they came, Jack, Trent,
I was like, all right,
this is how it's going to go.
You're going to give me the microphone.
I'm going to tell you who's to shoot.
You know, they put it all together
in the pack is how they did it.
But, yeah, I was like,
Trent, you usually interview people?
Nah, I'm going to do the interviewing.
You know what I'm saying?
That's why most of the shit is,
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.
You know what I'm saying?
He missed that opportunity crazy.
He's got it now, though.
He's got it now.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's crazy.
And it just went wild immediately.
Not immediately, not immediately.
Really?
So we did one, the first episode, that came out cool.
And then we did the second one, which was with, uh, with the dog.
and Byron, I think it's called
Connie Allen Ski Club.
And even then it didn't go crazy.
So we did that second episode in like April.
The first one we did,
we did probably September, the first one.
The next one we did was like in April.
And you would hear little shit like people fuck with it,
but it wasn't no big thing.
And then it just started exploding on TikTok.
Somebody would send,
yo, this shit got four million views.
On TikTok, there's one video somebody posted it, like random.
And then it blew up.
And then everybody started doing the fucking voiceovers of it.
And then celebrities started doing it.
So it didn't really take flight until like November.
The president of the United States did.
Facts.
That's crazy.
That's when I was like, y'all, I'm quitting my job.
That was the moment.
Absolutely.
What job you had before that?
I was sanitation.
And what does that mean?
Because I hear that.
So New York City sanitation is...
Your mafia.
Nah, not at all.
That's private.
If you're private sanitation,
But if you're a city, New York City sanitation,
you got to take a fucking test to get it.
It's the only city job that pays you weekly,
only city job that highest felons,
because I'm a felon.
And, bro, that shit changed my life, that job.
You know what I'm saying?
I did it for eight and a half years.
Oh, real?
I was, you know, I had a sanitation badge, fucking got paid weekly.
I bought my first house off of just, you know, doing that.
Not just that.
I also was doing the merch and shit like that
but that legitimized my shit
and showed me how to actually do shit with money.
401k and retirement,
pension benefits.
I've heard it's a good gig.
Absolutely.
You can get it.
Absolutely.
You can ride that all the way.
100,000 a year, base.
You know what I'm saying?
That's far.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I got that job, I had
I never had any credit.
I didn't even have bad credit.
When I first went to go get a call,
they was like, yo, it'd be better if you have bad credit
because there would be a history on you.
You just have no credit.
And then I just started bigger myself up.
Now, you know, you become, you learn how to be financially responsible.
Yeah.
And then when the Bingball shit happened, I was like,
they're booking me for a strip club walkthrough for more than I get paid in a month of sanitation.
Like, I'm not going to.
I'm not going to.
Yeah.
I'm not going to be like, I didn't take this chance to live my dreams
because the stability of a fucking paycheck.
Yeah.
I was like, fuck it.
Whatever's going to happen.
I know me.
I'm a husband.
I'm going to make shit happen regardless.
So, yeah, fuck it.
I quit.
You know what I'm saying?
That's crazy.
And I haven't looked back since.
You got a record there, I'm chilling.
Is New York City safe?
Yeah.
It's safe if you're not a fucking victim.
You know what I'm saying?
Like some people come around, they just don't have common sense.
They just walk around like fucking la-di-da.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, yo, you got to fucking have some pep in your step.
You come out here.
Be be, don't be.
don't be a fucking pushover
when you come here
you know what I'm saying
and nothing's gonna happen
and you come over here

Nah, there was one that was a, yo, there was a probation officer. She came from Connecticut.

Boom. I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm a smash. Boom.
Boom. I'm in bed with her. Take off her pants.
Worst smell I ever smelled in my life.
Horrible. Like, bad, bad, bad, bad.

To the point where, I was like, I'm not smashed.
I was like, how can I get out of this? How could I get out of this?
And I just was like, yo, where'd you park?
She's like, oh, I parked around the little loop, right there.
I said, oh, you can't park there, bro.
They told you, like, immediately.
You know, they told somebody last night.
Yo, go check your shit real quick.
She went out, checked this shit.
I called my man, yo, bro.

I'm going to put you on speaker.

Just tell me something.
I'm going to ask if I could bring her

So I hung up.
I hear the door open, I send the text.
Boom.
All right, I moved there.
Oh, good, good, you're good, good.
Come here, come here, come here, come in.
Start kissing.

You could wait around outside
or, you know, we could just postpone, hang out like tomorrow

But I have to take this.
I have to take this.
And she was like, oh, man, I got to go back to Connecticut.
I can't just stay here.
Nah, no, no, I'm going to be gone long.
I might go do something afterwards.
I can't leave nobody in my house.
All right, all right.
Once I seen her put her pants back,

But there's no indicator
There's not
There's one bad
bitch that I had bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
Like a dime, dime.
Even out of my league, I was like, how did I bag her?
So I had my apartment before my house.
Fucking, she came.
She was trying to play Miss Goodgirl, so first night she ain't, like, really give me no pussy.
But I'm playing with her pussy through the shit.
Like, she'd be spooning.

And I'm like, something ain't right down here, bro.
There's a lot of fucking, there's a lot of, fucking, there's a lot of,
flesh down here.
I mean, it ain't a dick, obviously.
But it's like either she got the ill roast beef pussy.
The Arby's.
Or she, I don't know what's going on.
And her panties was mad tight.
I never felt a bitch that had the panties on that tight.
I'm like, yo, what's going on here?
I'm trying to like, you can find the clip mad easy on the 90% of women.
Like, eh, bing, me, me.
You know what I'm saying?
But this bitch, I couldn't find that shit at all.
But I was going through fucking this shit right here.
Like, yo.
What the fuck is going on, bro?
Where is this fucking clitoris?
Where is this?
And it was just like...
Flicking through a book?
Bro, horrible.
Yo, I couldn't find it.
Yo, that shit was...
And she was bad.
I just didn't even push the issue.
I was like, all, fuck it, we'll go to sleep.
You don't want to give me...
We'll hang out another time.
I never hung out with her again.
No.
Something's wrong with this, bitch.
This bitch got the fucking flappadonnas.
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
You know, the stranger thing?
Yeah, the demigorian?
The demiguerian?
Yeah, facts.
No way.
Facts.
Oh, that's crazy.
Yo, do strippers treat you different now that you're, now that you're popping?
Absolutely.
I walk into the strip club, bing bong, bing bong.
Yo, they love me strippers.
How did they treat you before and then how do they treat you after?
Before, it was just like, yo, throw some money on me, whatever.
Now it's just like, yo, I rap, yo, I do content.
Yo, I do every...
Yo, strippers, though, to keep it real, I'm like a strip club connoisseur now.
Like, I'm always...
I get paid to be in strip clubs and I love strip clubs.
Strippers are some of the fucking coolest women on earth.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, they're the most...
They're hustles.
All of them are doing something with their lives.
They got a purpose why they're stripping.
The majority of them, some are just dirt bags, you know what I'm saying?
But the majority of them are cool people, and I can fuck with them in real life.
They're good people.
Best strip club.
Best strip club.
My favorite right now is Sin City in Philly.
Oh, really?
Why?
Sometimes I go to Philly just to go there.
Really?
I get a cheese steak.
Philly's like an hour for miles.
On a late night, summer night, no traffic.
I'll get to Philly in an hour.
And what makes it so good?
Um, the vibe.
The vibe in there.
It's a big place.
It's like, man big.
Like two floors.
Who was that there?
Who I hung out with there?
A hung out with Beanie Siegel.
Al Harrington.
Fucking, uh, what's the boxer?
Danny, Danny Garcia.
Just, man, people I've hung out with there.
And it's just a dope spot.
The owners treat us right.
You know what I'm saying?
And the women.
A1, you know what I'm saying?
It's always a cool vibe in there.
So it's a dope strip club.
Yeah, what's the most of you are blowing in the strip club?
Nah, I'm not a big strip club thrower.
Like, I go in there.
And most of the time, when I go to the strip club,
they give me money to throw.
So they'll give me, so when I do a strip club,
it might be five bands for the walkthrough
and maybe a thousand and singles.
I throw, and we got bottles, and I don't drink.
So it's like, you got two.
So if you don't got money,
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.
So what I do, since I don't drink,
I throw the ones, whatever they give me, I'll throw,
maybe spend another stack out my own pockets, you know,
feed the needy, you know what I'm saying?
But then with the drinks, I'm like, nah, there ain't no cups.
We're just driving the boat, open your mouth, boom, boom,
and we just have a good time like that.
Wow.
That's it.
You ever do strip clubs down in, like, Florida?
No, we went to,
We went to in Houston
We just was there

Man, it is what it is.

The strip club etiquette is tricky, though, sometimes.
Like, I went to this one strip club.
This was in, I think this was in Florida.
2001 Space Odyssey.
You ever heard of this one?
I did hear that.
Is that a giant spin?
In Tampa, they got a spaceship on the roof, bro.
They wanted to take us there
We went to the one across the street.
Mons Venus?
Yes.
And I didn't like the girls in there.
Really?
Nah.
BBLs are just not your vibe?
Nah, they were just like,
like country white fucking farm girls.
Degular, regular day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not my thing.
What is your thing?
I like all girls.
I like all girls.
Well, not all.
I like, no, my thing is skinny women.
Oh, really?
I like petite.
Oh.
I'm not like a big, you know, big fat-ass BBW type shit.
It's not me.
I like thin, petite, women.
Athletic.
Yeah, that's my style.
I like that.
I like a pretty face and a slim build.
That's my thing.
I've always, I don't know, it's just my thing.
We go to 2001 Space Odyssey.
I set up, I get a bunch of ones crisp.
Yeah, I've never really been to a strip club in my life, right?
We go, I'm with a bunch of my friends.
They got like a, like on the dance floor, like the main stage.
They got like seats all around.
it like all in the front row.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I built a castle out of ones.
Okay.
I made like a little, like, a little fort.
I put like a little roof on it.
And I was like, damn, this is like 20 bucks in ones, like making this beautiful little fortress.
Girl came over, did a backflip, split, bam.
Right on it.
Smack my whole shit.
There you go.
Destroyed it.
Fuck your life.
What do you expect?
I was kind of pissed off, bro.
I was like, I was working on this.
I was making something beautiful.
That's for the women, bro.
I was building the house for us.
That's for the women, bro.
They didn't want.
They didn't want.
They didn't want it.
Yo, if you had a knife in your back and a dick in your butt,
which ones you pull out first?
Yo, come on, bro.
Which one?
Okay, knife in your back.
Probably dick in my ass, I'll be honest.
I'll probably take that out first.
Why would you have a dick in your ass?
Come on, Nems.
Come on, we're going to edit this out.
Come on, bro.
What the fuck?
What the hell, bro?
You can't do that to me?
Hey, yo, I didn't do it to you?
Come on, bro.
No ditty.
You cannot do that.
Come on, Nems.
Yo, if you had a gay guy in your back,
would you beat them off or let them stay?
No, you're not getting me again, bro.
Which one? You got a pig.
Life of death.
I'm going to push them away from me, Names.
I'm going to push him away from me.
Yo, that's crazy.
If there was a bus full of Gey Gey Gagas, would you get on or get off?
Yo, these are good, bro.
These are fucking good.
Which one?
These are fucking good, bro.
I'm pleading the fifth, okay?
If a Gey Gai wrote you a letter, would you write them back or tear it up?
Yeah, why does a guy write me a letter?
I don't know.
What kind of has that?
Would you write them back or tear it up?
Pause, nems.
This is crazy.
Maybe he's locked up, bro.
Maybe he likes your curly hair.
Yeah, maybe.
This is why I can't go to prison, bro.
I'm too cute.
Damn.
That's true.
You don't have to agree, but everyone knows.
I wouldn't last.
I'd have to fight immediately.
Or get cornrows.
Get cornrows.
You got a good headline, bro.
It's decent.
I got a widow's peak a little bit.
It's all right.
So do I.
Oh, for real?
Yeah, my shit.
I got the Amwell bangs now.
I might be Puerto Rican.
Yeah, a little bit.
Y'all was actually thinking about this.
My parents are French Canadian.
They're from Montreal.
All the C-O's in jail.
the black COs and jail and the prisons up north.
Yo, the black guy was about,
yo, come on, why you acting like that?
You black like us?
No, we ain't black.
We're French Canadian.
Facts.
Yeah, facts.
Yo, that's hilarious.
French Canadians are different.
It's a different thing.
I'm ethnically that, but I don't, I've never really spent time in Montreal.
But I was thinking about it, French Canadians, what's the root language of what they speak.
They speak Latin, right?
Don't do that?
I mean, French is a Latin language.
Okay.
And they're in North America.
So technically
I'm Latin American
Why? Just because you speak it?
I know people that speak Japanese
But they're fucking Japanese
But I'm saying my parents are French Canadian
They're Latin
My parents are Latin
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
But French Canadian is Latin bro
It's the same root
I'm not that bro
It's it, bro. It's it, bro. It's it.
Bro, fuck your life.
No, I'm Latin American, bro.
I'm Latino.
Stop taking this away from me, bro.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
And I just started catching.
And then Paz was right in there.
He was like, yo, tell him he got blue eyes.
One blue eyes.
I was like, yo, that's a good one.
And I called him with it.
Paz be having a lot of my jokes.
Yeah, yeah.
Paz's a fake stand-up comedian.
No way.
Yeah, yeah.
He did it.
He was good.
Then he called two heart attacks.
And I don't know.
He lost it.
How did he get two heart attacks?
I don't know.
He called two fucking heart attacks.
That's real?
He's cool fucking 19 strokes.
That's real?
Dead ass.
That's the fucking scar right here.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
Damn.
You know what I'm saying?
Then we went and got them the next day.
Oh, really?
Absolutely.
Always get back.
I have to, 100%.
Especially if it's in your neighborhood.
If it's in your neighborhood, if it's not, you can, you know, anonymously take the L.
You know what I'm saying
And just gracefully bow out
Keep a move
But if it's people you know
You have to get back
Or else you know
How are you gonna walk around
Oh really
You know what I'm saying
You ever see a dude
You ever see a dude get jumped
And then just leave town
Just be like y'all
Yeah absolutely
Happens all the time
What happened?
Bro
You just see
Nat and those people
That fucking left to Florida
Go hang out with you
Oh really
Get beat up and fucking
They fucking moved to Florida
The next fucking month
That's it
That's it
They took the hell like a pussy
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah you got a fight
You have to.
Even if you lose, you got to fight.
Are you good at fighting?
Nah, now, no.
If I don't knock you out with the first punch...
It's fucked.
Yo, Mello, get him.
But in your prime, though?
In my prime, I...
I wasn't like a fucking missed a knockout.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I could hold my own, but, you know,
it's not like I was super thug.
Like, I was fucking karate expert.
But you were always a little diesel, so you could like...
I used, I was skinny when I was, like, in my teenage years,
and then I got fat.
You know what I'm saying?
When I was skinny, I always was taller than most.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like 6, 3, 6.4.
You know what I'm saying?
So I was bigger than most people.
But now, my size now, plus nowadays, I'd rather joke with you
than fight with you any day.
So you can defuse it.
If I can diffuse it, I will.
It's not even worth it no more.
Like, I'm not trying to go to jail.
I'm not trying to get, if I do get beat up,
I'm going to have to get my shit back.
And if I have to get my shit back,
it's going to cause weight.
A whole fucking thing.
It's going to cause me money.
It's going to cost me fucking a lot of shit
that I don't want to put out there like that no more.
Unless I'm forced to, I'm not trying to fight no more.
Yeah.
You mentioned going from skinny to fat.
Yeah, that's how it turned into gorilla nymph.
Yeah.
Before that, you were just skinny nymphs?
Mad skinny.
Yeah, yeah.
Mad skinny.
That was like a buck, 50, bucks, $60, $6.4.
Oh, really?
Now I'm like 320.
Yeah.
And what was the funnest thing to eat on the way to get in fat?
White Castle.
That was the one.
That's what got me fat.
Where's the White Castle?
There's one by my,
well,
I was Staten Island.
When I got clean,
I moved to Staten Island again.
And then there was a white castle
by my Chris.
So every night,
the only thing opened late night
is fucking White Castle.
I'll go do a show.
It's four in the morning.
The only thing opens is White Castle.
I eat it, go to sleep.
You know what I'm saying?
And it just happened,
just kept eating mad White Castle.
What's the White Castle order,
though?
How do you get it perfect?
I don't, you know, see, me,
I don't even eat like a crazy amount.
I get five plain burgers.
There's nothing on them.
Small fries and a six-piece chicken ring.
That's it.
I mean, five burgers.
But these are a little.
But they're little.
That's like a bite.
Yeah.
That's five bites.
Yeah.
There's nothing.
It's not bad.
But then the bodega, though, does that...
Like, are you, like, chop cheese in?
Like, what's the...
Chop cheese?
I just started fucking with chop cheese.
Real New York is done with...
Chop cheese is like a Harlem thing.
That started up there.
Oh, real?
That just became through the internet, like, a New York thing.
But back in the days, chopped cheese wasn't a thing, right?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That just became.
cammer thing lately.
Bacon, egg and cheese?
No, I was more of a bagel with butter type of guy.
They had good bagel spots back in the day in Brooklyn.
What's the most underrated restaurant?
I fuck with Jackson Hole.
Those are the best burgers in New York City.
And all their food is on point.
Where is that?
It's saying they got a couple in Queens, but they got one in the city on third half and
35th.
It's like a whole little whole little wall dining.
I'm a picky eater.
All I eat is pizza and fucking burgers.
You know what I'm saying, the chicken?
Huh?
Palm is my spot, too.
Where's that?
It's in Mulberry Street in the city.
It's a little hole in the wall spot.
Best fucking meatball palms, bro.
The best.
Crazy.
Yeah.
The pasta's crazy.
Yep, absolutely.
Best pizza?
Best pizza, Ellen Bees for Mooney Gardens in Brooklyn.
Really?
You have to get a square, though.
Don't get a regular slice.
Yeah, I was fucked that up.
Yeah.
They show all the shit, and I'm like, I guess that,
No, L&Bs, 100%.
It's right by Coney Island.
Oh, really?
Yeah, absolutely.
And what about on the road?
Are you eating the same type of vibe on the road?
What city has the best food outside of New York?
We had a good spot in Portland.
That was just one spot, though.
It wasn't like all their food was dope.
Chicago got...
That deep dish pizza, I fuck with.
Yeah.
I fuck with.
That shit is like a whole meal.
Yeah, I mean, this is controversial, I feel like, for a New Yorker to say.
Nah, that shit is delicious.
It's different.
You can't eat that every night.
See, New York, our slices are meant to wrap.
up and you're on the go with it.
I got to take a slice
and walk down the block
and have them.
That's my dinner.
I'm going.
I'm moving.
That fucking deep-diff shit
in Chicago is just like...
You need a nap, bro.
I never ate pizza with a fork in the knife
till that.
Where we went to?
What's the name of the spot?
Not per-gold.
Some...
Yeah, nah, some fire shit, though,
where we fucking...
I had to eat that shit with a fork in the knife.
I felt weird doing it,
but it was what it was.
No, you need Narcan after that.
Yeah, in fact.
I went straight to the hotel.
that. Yeah, put you out immediately. Yeah, facts.
Yeah. Facts. How was the tour been?
Excellent. It was just different
things. It was the best part
about it. We got paid. We made
money. Got to see the
whole country with my friends.
Laughed the whole time. Left the
cameraman in fucking Georgia.
What do you mean? He couldn't take out jokes.
No way. I should. It's the man van, bro.
What happened? What happened? We are.
We joke at everything. We wake up, we're joking.
We're fucking, we argue, then joke about the argument.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's non-stop joking with us in my van.
And it's not like knock-knock jokes is we're fucking,
if you're not a man, you can't fucking, you're gonna, you're gonna cry.
So our cameraman from Long Island, soft as shit, you know what I'm saying?
The whole tour, we're cucking them, with cucking them.
Like, what jokes?
Do you remember?
Just all types of shit.
But he lets, there'll be real times
where we're talking about real life events
like, yeah, so I don't talk to my stepdad,
I live on him.
Why are you telling us this?
Now we're flaming you, you know what I'm saying?
What the fuck?
Yo, Danny, you're fucking,

all types of shit.
But everybody is equally getting it.
Yeah, yeah.
He's coming on you, it's coming on him.
Yeah, yeah.
We get to Georgia.
He already wasn't talking to us
because I already, you know,
I had to put him in the same.
place for something else. He wasn't doing his job.
So I was holding everybody
back because I knew he was soft.
So I was like, yo, don't joke on him that much.
When it gets to a certain point, I'm like,
I chill, chill, chill.
But once he got me to a, well, I was mad and I was like,
yo, flame this motherfucker.
And we were just flaming him.
We were in the middle of fucking Georgia,
smearing the Georgia, getting our tire chains
because we caught a flat on the sprinter.
And it was raining.
We're all flaming
them back to back to back.
You know, fucking Paz starts going in on him
And he just zips his shit
Walks out the van
Takes his bag and keeps walking
Maybe he thought he were going to baby him
And be like, oh, let's go find him now
I said come on, bro
Tire you got changed, come on
We're on the North Carolina
Fuck that motherfucker

I didn't really know anyone that ever went to prison
ever growing up.
So, like, I know there's an etiquette
when someone first gets out.
Yeah, yeah, you give them money.
You put, you know, make sure they,
give them some money, give them fucking clothes.
Give them a chain.
Nah, not yet.
I'm not at that level yet.
My cousin, my girl cousin,
she's doing, she's coming home in April.
She did fucking nine years.
she's like

they can't talk shit about you
there you go
put her some
some FYL merch
absolutely
yeah
absolutely
how's the store going
excellent
that's like the epicenter
of Coney Island
You know what I'm saying?
When tourists come to New York, that fuck with me, they go to the store.
Yeah.
It's just a dope vibe.
You get to see where the Bing Bongbong shit's happened.
Where I do what the, most of the don't ever disrespect means you get to see the ambiance of the neighborhood.
You see shit is real.
You know what I'm saying?
And then you get some dope merchandise as well.
You there every day?
Nah, I'm there when I can.
Yeah, yeah.
If I have free time, I'm there.
You know what I'm saying?
If I'm not booked that day and I'm fucking, I'm not doing nothing.
I'll stop by the store and hang out there.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
If you were the mayor in New York, what would you change?
I would take all the bike lanes out.
Why do you take the bike lanes, bro?
I'm a driver.
I drive everywhere, bro.
That shit causes mad traffic.
Bro, ride like they did back in the day, bro.
Ride on the side of the cars, riding the sidewall.
I don't know, but get the fuck out of the street, bro.
They took a lane off the Brooklyn Bridge, bro, for a fucking bike lane, make the fuck out of hell you.
I didn't know that.
The fuck out of here.
Adding traffic.
Bro, ridiculous.
But what about Mello?
He's got to ride his bike somewhere.
He'll be all right
He's an adult
He'll figure it out
So no bike lanes
Anything else
Anything you would change
Do you like the rats
Are you cool with the rats?
No I don't like rats at all
Especially being a garbage man
I'm shit
How about the fucking shit
What are you gonna do though
What are you gonna do
They're here
It's gotta be a way
I don't know more cats
We can release some cats or some shit
Fucking put rat poison every block
Yeah
Kill them all
Bro that's a wild
bro this shit happened to me the other day
I walked out
It was like eight in the morning.
I'm trying to go to work.
See, my day where I lived, there's not really rats.
That's why I really don't think.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'm living a nice.
I saw these, like, two little Puerto Rican kids watching this rat die.
Just like, eight in the morning, the rat got some poison.
And the kids are just like, Mom, why is he sleeping?
And I was like, oh, my God.
It's just a brutal way to start the morning.
I was like, all right, I'm going to keep it pushing.
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
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
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.
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.
Get some fucking scrapes.
Yeah.
Yo, can you explain the fire hydrant shit to me?
Oh, what do you need to explain?
fucking open it up on a hot summer day.
You got a fucking water ride.
Who opens it?
You get the fucking wrench.
And I just open it up.
Whoever, somebody random want to wash their car.
Somebody too fucking hot and fed up.
You know what I'm saying?
Yo, who got the wrench?
Give me the rent.
Open that shit up.
Now you're fucking chilling.
Bro, I'll walk by a firehundred.
There's three holes drilled into the shit.
And it's just spraying water.
Yeah.
Make a fucking little fun day for the kids.
Some guys did that.
You ain't got money for...
Oh, really?
You put the cabin and be like the three little spring blue?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They put a fake one on it?
Man, they put a cover on it.
To make it, to make it spray.
Right, you gotta find a hyphen without the cover,
and then you open that fire hyping all the way and that ass.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Yo, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
That's great.
That's great.
That's what I see it.
That's like New York karma.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I feel like I should get someone for that.
I need a parking pass.
Be like, yo, I donated a thousand bucks.
I got a fucking handicap plaque.
I got all types of shit.
You got a handicap?
I buy it from 2018.
You bought it off someone?
Nah, somebody gave it to me.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
Absolutely.
That's crazy.
And she started crying immediately?
Immediately.
Did she still talk about it?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Yeah, I feel like they're there.
Maybe.
Maybe.
New Yorkers don't see aliens, though.
Nah, I've never seen no fucking alien.
I wish.
You've seen some people that might be aliens?
Yeah, but you've never seen like some shit.
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.
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...
Where the fuck, bro, like me...
Like, yo, oh shit, look, there's a fucking alien.
Yeah.
Where? Where's that?
Yeah, we went to Roswell.
That shit was mad weird.
That was the top three, too.
That's how...
It was weird.
They have a fucking...
Everything is alien theme.
They have a UFO McDonald's.
Oh, really?
The Dunkin' Donuts sign is a big alien holding up.
Everything is alien out there.
It's weird.
That's kind of cool, though.
Yeah, it's cool.
That's its own little vibes.
Yeah.
It's weird, but it's cool.
So you're not afraid of anything.
I'm afraid of fucking man shit, bro.
I'm a fucking human.
What are you afraid of?
I'm afraid of fucking insects, bro.
I fucking hate bugs.
I'm scared to death of them shit.
I'm scared of butterflies.
I'm scared of butterflies.
I'm scared of fucking ladybugs.
I hate fucking bugs, bro.
I hate that shit.
If I'm with a girl, I'll tell the girl, y'all, kill that shit.
No way.
Hell yeah.
There's a cockroach in your apartment.
Someone else got to take care.
See, that's, again, shows you on booji.
Because growing up, I had mad cockroaches in my fucking crib.
and there was a normal thing in the projects.
Now I'm like, ugh, away from me.
How dare you?
Rats I'm scared of, fucking anything nature I'm scared of, bro.
I hate any bugs, insects, fucking rats, mice, anything, bro.
I hate that shit.
Yeah, no, I don't fuck with that, though.
At all.
Down in Florida, we get a little, like, palmetto bugs.
Even those fucking lizards I'm scared of in Florida.
On iguanas and shit?
Yeah.
No, but the little ones, that fucking...
The little nolitan.
Yeah, I hate them shit too.
Nah, they're cute, bro.
Fuck that.
When I was a little kid, I'd catch them.
Yeah, not me.
Yeah, fuck that, not me.
Come on, bro.
Fish, I'm scared of...
You're scared of fish?
Anything nature, bro.
I mean, animals?
I don't go in the fucking...
I don't go in the water
in Coney Island without my sneakers on.
If I do.
I got a pool now, but in the January 1st,
we jump into the water,
like with the polar bear club.
But I'll go on my sneakers.
Full Tim's on in the water.
Absolutely.
Because you don't want the seaweed touching your foot.
Yeah, none of that shit.
Tony Island too
You can fucking
Hit a glass bottle
A fucking baby diaper
Needles
Who knows
Bro
Come on bro
You gotta go camping

Would you ever go hunting

Kill a little fucking deer
For who cares

I don't want to put the head
In my house
Come on
But what if
You wouldn't
Yeah that's pause
But you wouldn't go
Like fishing or nothing
Fishing I go
I've been fishing
Oh really
Yeah
It wasn't nothing too
I went fishing around the Statue of Liberty.
You catch anything?
Yeah, yeah.
Caught some big ass fish, like that.
River Monster.
That's my shit, that guy.
Jeremy Wade, that's my guy right there.
But it's a little slow, though.
That's my issue of fishing.
It's a little slow.
Six hours, bro, I had to be on that boat.
After the third hour, I was like, all right, bro, let's go.
I'm ready to get the fuck out of another three hours.
I get that.
After you catch one fish, you're like...
All right, I'm done.
How much more we got to do?
It was like, yo, take it off of the thing?
I was like, nah, bro.
I don't even want to touch that shit.
I caught sharks.
Oh, really?
But they were like toothless, bullshit sharks.
It was like, hold it.
I was like, nah, bro, I don't want to hold it.
All right, give me, yeah, take a picture.
Get the shit out of the country.
Yeah, yeah.
Been to Europe, fucking Scotland, all over France, Brussels, Belgium, Copenhagen.
Fucking...
How's that?
It was dope.
You like going to Europe?
I love historical shit.
I love seeing like old shit, like from old humans.
I love that type of shit.
That's my vibe.
What's a bucket list?
What's a spot you're like, yo, I need to go before.
Oh, Japan.
Australia.
We're booked for, well,
we were supposed to go to Australia in November,
but something with the paperwork
didn't come to.
But we're doing Australia soon.
Japan is a definite fucking,
I want to see that side of the world.
Yeah.
I've been to Europe.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I ain't really do nothing further than Europe.
Japan is dope.
Yeah.
I went when I was like 19, I think.
I've been to Hawaii.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You like it out there?
Hell yeah, I fucked the chick
that looked like Beyonce out there.
Really?
Yeah, when I was like,
I went out there.
She was like black and Hawaiian.
She looked just like Beyonce, bro.
I mean, that's...
Tried to wake my cousin up.
He was 17.
So my mom's had one room and her sister.
And then me and my cousin had one room.
So we were just walking around.
At this time, I already had a chain.
I was walking around with the Knicks jersey.
He was looking for weed.
Somebody beat us on some weed.
My cousin went back, found the guy, got real weed.
We had a little six-pack.
I was like, yo, come on.
So the chick, the Beyonce-looking chick was with her home-home girl.
We had the New York swag.
Walking through O'W up, fucking Honolulu.
You bagged to, yo, come to the hotel.
My cousin's chick left.
The Beyonce moment, we gave a little six-pack.
We were smoking.
But the plan was, I told my cousin, I said,
yo, listen, I'm going to start fucking.
Act like you sleeping.
I'm going to start smashing.
When I'm done, but take off my chain, throw it at you.
Boom.
That's your sign.
You next, come through.
You're going to run the train.
I finished smashing, boom
