Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah What happened? Well, first of all this is what I want to clear up Is that First off, I'd like to thank you for wanting to clear this up with us That's very appreciated And you came out of your way and we appreciate it It's all good
Starting point is 00:07:39 Because you know this is this is a rapper's This is a rapper's format Rappers should feel like they got a chance to come up here and express. So I really appreciate you coming up here. But let's get to that. So this is what I want to say, first of all. I did not get arrested over trying to get in no fucking club. First of all, I could buy a club.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Just make some noise for David Ben to me. Did they ask for your autograph? I swear every time you go to jail. So this is what's crazy. First of all, I have to say that what I try not to do anymore, I try not to talk to, like, white media at all too much. Let's make some noise for us not being white. You got to have to follow with us, man. Black Cuban media.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And what happened was this. I got to give TMZ a shot, though, because they did try to call me and get my side of the story. But what I will say is that what happened was, So we, first of all, I'm out with one of my best friends. He's a doctor. So it wasn't even like I was out with my hood homeboy in the D.C. I was out with some doctors. And so, you know, I'm trying to get, we're all in the club.
Starting point is 00:09:02 It's about six or seven of us. What kind of club was this? It was club, like, Ozio. Oh,io. No, just regular club. So I walk up, you know, security guard, do their thing. Hold up, hold up. I fall all the way back into the street.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Like, now I'm good. dog if you know I'm not gonna do that you know I'm not gonna you know big no motherfuckers to get in no club that ain't what I do so I fall back to start signing if you go back and look at Instagram you see all the pictures I was out there signing autographs taking pictures right so then I noticed there was one white person at the door and all these big black like big black bodyguards so I walked up to one of the bodyguards and I order bouncers and I was like yo dog whispered in his ear like look home boy it's a real bad look that
Starting point is 00:09:46 you have all these black folks out here spending all this money and y'all got this white person at the door barking on them like an overseer dude turns around and looks at me and basically like it's my job like Ben and you you're right
Starting point is 00:10:00 I don't want to get that the white person came and barked on me nigga like what are you talking about nigger? He didn't say niggas I said enough niggas I think it would have been charged at that point
Starting point is 00:10:17 And the thing was I can't really go as much into what happened after that point But the thing was It was never about no club It was about how people were treating my people And I'm like man I've never been that kind of dude
Starting point is 00:10:32 To just sit back and watch Fucks you go on You're from Mississippi Right damn straight So the thing was This is what I will say Is once the show is on It's on
Starting point is 00:10:43 Like I hadn't even felt that way And like You unwrap on that point like six years. I hadn't been that angry. And I wasn't angry even about what the white person said. The same guy that I was talking to turned around
Starting point is 00:10:57 after they disrespected me and then I said what I had to say to them. I was done. Then he turns around and boils up at me. No, sir. One thing I want to tell people, regardless of what I am, whether I'm an activist, whether we back on the
Starting point is 00:11:13 whatever it may end up being, I'm a man before I'm anything. Right, right. And if kids don't know nothing else but this, I tell them all the time. Before I'm a rapper, before I'm a whatever the fuck it is, I have to be a man first. And I have to defend what I believe is my honor. And that was it. The only thing that pissed me off that I really wanted to talk about was black media. It's like we cut in pace what these conglomerants give us.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And we don't even take up for our folks. I remember going to Ebony and Jet. And they said back in the day it used to be this un-uneruner. just unknown rule that we look out for our own folk first. And they ain't do that. Like, all the work that we do. When you say black media, like you remember anybody? No, I don't go into specifics,
Starting point is 00:11:59 because when you go in the specifics, you make it petty. Right, right. If they did it, they did it, they know who they are. We petty as hell over. It's okay. You can be petty. One thing I say, though, is that they said on the Ricky Smiley, so I really respected them.
Starting point is 00:12:15 They said something that was really dope. It's like, we know Banner. Right. This dude ain't wait all this time to go to jail now. Right. Without something, like, they had to do something to do. Like, as much shit as he do, like, we got too much to lose on that bullshit. So, like, for our folks and for so-called hip-hop blogs and places that say they're for hip-hop,
Starting point is 00:12:35 when all they really do is take away. They sit back and wait for some petty shit to happen. It's clickbait. They just want to, yeah. And that shit was some fuck shit. Let me ask you something. When people do it. do report
Starting point is 00:12:47 irresponsible journalism. Like, why do you care, though? Like, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, this game is fucked up from the beginning. Like, this is not a new thing. Let me tell you the only reason why I care. One of my home girls teaches
Starting point is 00:13:02 a male magnet school in Harlem. And she called me and she said, the boys are really confused. Wow. To about the children. Yeah, the children. It was like, you know, they see you and they watch all of your interviews and then they only hear
Starting point is 00:13:18 what TMZ says and they're real confused and then I thought about it I was like I only care because I am one of the few people man that these kids at least consider they may not even listen but they be like damn we know where Banner come from so Banner talking that shit
Starting point is 00:13:34 maybe I can fuck with it for a second and it's not enough of us yet to lose them so like with me not responding back they only had with white media and the clickbaiters told them, so I had to go
Starting point is 00:13:50 somewhere and say something. And let them know it was about honor, not getting in no fucking club. Because honestly, I can give a shit less with anybody think. But what I always tell black folks, is if I had you, or people of culture, if I had you, I wouldn't need them.
Starting point is 00:14:06 If our folks put me in movies, I wouldn't have to go fucking audition. If our folks bought records, we wouldn't have to go big and hope if their motherfucks could give us some kind of I don't fucking need them. I only care what the kids think. And when she called me and said, like, the kids are confused.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I was like, I gotta say something. Fuck all the rest of them. I'm grown. I can get really good shit less. Right. You know. And you made a great career. What did they book you on exactly?
Starting point is 00:14:32 What was the charge? No, you was out there already, right? Oh, you're talking about the charges. What was it? Oh, you can't really speak on now. No. No, I'm really, I'm really. I think the fifth.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah. Yeah. Now, we got to describe this shirt you have on right now, my brother. What is that? Some expensive. That looks like it's from Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe. He's right?
Starting point is 00:14:59 He's actually right? Zimbabwe? He got the right country at all? Zimbabwe? I wish y'all did. I know he helped me out. Let's make some noise. I'm going to tell y'all story real quick.
Starting point is 00:15:13 This is some real shit. A lot of people don't know. I've been knowing nowhere for over 15 years. years. I've been knowing you right around 10 years. Back when I was in a group, Cricket Letters, they really had shelved us because they didn't know what the fuck to do with a group from Mississippi, especially no motherfuckers that can rap and penalty. So Norrie, that's when he had the big million dollar video. Talk about it, David Bannon. We didn't stop it. He had the big million dollars. And let me tell you what this man said. This man went to Neil Levine
Starting point is 00:15:43 and told him because they didn't have no budget for us to shoot no video. Really what I found out is I moved to New York homeless. Norrie knows I was homeless in New York. They shelved us and I told Neil Levine I'm gonna be at penalty every fucking day and I was there every morning before anybody got there sitting there waiting for the label to open up.
Starting point is 00:16:03 And it was this big black motherfucker waiting for this little short white guy every day. So they put my out, they actually put their only shit like I think it was 20,000 copies. We sold 17,000. Right. And Norie loved our music so much. He saw the South, like, before it had literally got hot. Please, please.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And he went up and jumping on the motherfucking seats and shit. And he was like, y'all, get them boys $20,000 out of my million dollar budget and let him shoot a movie. God damn it, make some noise for me. He said, Dave Bellen, you got to go in there and throw some shit. Don't hit the white dude. But go in there and throw some shit. Don't touch him, though. Because you touch him.
Starting point is 00:16:50 And I really appreciate him because he didn't have to do that shit, bro. He actually jumped on the record for free. I appreciate you remembering that. And not only that, but you was producing. You, yeah. This motherfucker gave me my first check. Hold on. Fuck that.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Wait, wait, wait, wait. He said, I wasn't going to say it, but I was going to hint on that motherfucker. Listen, listen, this is real talk. I was homeless. Literally, like, I was sleeping at the time I was sleeping on Wendy Day's floor. I was literally homeless. Shout out to Wendy Day. And the first.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Like, he gave me enough money off the first beat that I ever sold to somebody cash so I could live the rest of my time in New York. And so, like, I really, really appreciate him. You knew how expensive it was. But the beach was jam to too, you know? Listen, I like to be the guy to always discover a producer first. I don't know why. Like, it's been...
Starting point is 00:17:51 Don't say to death to him. Listen, man. You bring them up. You bring them up, not me. But you know what I'm saying? I always like to be the guy. And I knew I knew you was going to be the guy. Now, it brings me to ask you, Dads.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It says, you did, I ain't mad at you. Yeah. How many platyms did that sell? Well, I forgot. How did you make that joint? Now, when you made that joint, was it for Pock or you just? I was just, you know, vibing in the room. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:24 Right. It's like whoever I make beats in the morning. So whoever gets, you know, that's what we go to, you know what I'm saying? It's like serving, you know what I'm saying? You know, Shughead called me, say, what's up, man, you know, Tupac's flying in and I meet us at the restaurant.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So, you know, me and Superfly, we go to the restaurant. He's like, man, you're ready? I'm like, yeah, I got some beach for you. So we drop him off, I go get a sack. I'll come back. He didn't lay the ambitious of a ride and I ain't mad at you. Same day?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah, same night. God damn it. You know what I'm saying? Like 1.30 in the morning, you know what I'm saying? And I dropped the other two. The next morning, that's from Snoop walking. Wow. We do, you know, gangster party.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Stang! Dad has just flossed on all of us. What's just real? Do you know, when you do songs, it's 50-50. You know what I'm right? Right, right, yeah. So, you know, the publishing is good. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Especially when that movie come out, you did. Wow. Now the movie you talk about is the Tupac movie. Yeah, the Tupac by you. Are you scoring that? All my music, I just talked to LT today. He's like, man, all your music is in the act. I know.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Who L. T. L.T. Hutton. Oh, okay. So, you know, my son is playing me in the movie. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:19:45 You know, this is a good thing. Then the dogpower movie after that. Oh, yeah, you know, a DPG for life. Okay. Now, you worked with Pimsy. Oh, you knew Pimsy. Let's describe for our listeners. You know, he's a legend on our podcast.
Starting point is 00:19:58 He's a legend in life. He's a legend in life. He did. Pimsy. When was the first time you met PemC? Well, this is what happened. I sampled his voice while he was like a P. Oh, I thought you know each other at that time.
Starting point is 00:20:14 No, no, no, no, no. I just said, I'm learning something. It was crazy about that. I didn't even like the beat. The only reason why I used the beat, because I was bartering with Flip at the time. Flip was from Houston. And I was like, let me put him on this beat,
Starting point is 00:20:27 and then I'll go back and change the beat. on DJ Will from New Orleans heard it and said, dog, if you put this out, your life will change in two months. Literally, I flipped it over and used that song. My life literally changed in two months. Wow. So what happened was, bro, is I started writing Pempsie, because I was like, man, this dude has changed my life without even trying.
Starting point is 00:20:46 His voice changed my whole entire life. So instead of sending him, like, naked pictures of broads and all that kind of shit, I was like, yo, Pimp don't know how to use a drum machine. So I took pictures of the job. drum machine so like he could put the Polaroids together and I taught him how to use a drum machine while he was in jail.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Because he's locked up. In case anybody doesn't know this. Right, right. He was locked up. This just sounds like the smartest shit I've ever heard. Right. Sounds mad complicated. This is on your break out of jail. And then the other shit I did was, was
Starting point is 00:21:20 I was traveling all around the world. I was like, I want to show him shit that maybe he had he even seen. I'm touring. I've been to every We hadn't met. But we hadn't met. Okay. So when he got out of jail,
Starting point is 00:21:32 if you remember when he got out of jail, he named eight people named. And I was one of the dudes, like we were right back and forth. He was like, Banner, you wanted a few people that took out their time to really talk to me. Because you remember,
Starting point is 00:21:43 I had done the record with him on penalty before, but we, you remember we did get crunk. That was on penalty, but that was just business. Right. Like, I didn't really get to know him, know him.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Then we became friends. Like, literally, like, Like, this is one of the craziest things in my life. When Pimp came to L.A. the weekend before he died, I was in studio working because I was living in L.A. at the time. And Pimp was moving out there to stay in the same. He was over there doing some of Snoo. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:15 It was supposed to be me, Snoo, Juicy Jay, was going to work on his album. Say he was going to move in the same building as the cut. You know, you know. You know. You know. You know. I said some family, everybody else. You know.
Starting point is 00:22:28 They got sides. Sorry, dear, man. This is all right. Continue. So, Pam back call, man, you know, when that's your homie and you're in the studio, you know, I'm going to call them back and, you know, I kept working. So I called him like six times. He never picked up the phone. Then I heard that at the end of the weekend, I had died.
Starting point is 00:22:48 So then I called and listened to the message, and the message was like, Ben, I'm an L-A-X. Wait, so you never met him? No, no, no, no, no. This is after we was friends. Oh, I'm bugging. I'm bugging. This is after we was friends. Homeboys, like, been to each other, like everything. By this time, this was the weekend before he died. Oh, okay. After we really became friends. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:08 He called and I went and listened to the, to the, my voicemail after he had died. And it literally said, bro, come pick me up from LAX. I'm here. And the craziest thing about me and Pimp is when we were together, it was, it was, we were both focused. It's like sharpening each other. So I always feel like, you know, maybe, you know, everybody would always think maybe if I would have picked up their phone call, maybe it would have been something different.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Who knows? And let's just, let's just ask, this is probably the most serious question. I have an axed on the drinks chance podcast. Do you think that his death was attributed to lean? You know what I'm saying? I don't want to know because my friend did. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Either way it don't matter. People get into, you know, if this, I don't really want to know. Like, he dead. How he died, don't really matter to me. Irrelevant now. Yeah, it don't really matter. You know, I said that too, but, like, you know, what's my man, Sean Price?
Starting point is 00:24:06 And I'll be feeling like... And today's the 20th of his first album. God bless Sean Price, you know what I mean? But I'd be wanting to know because just in case we can help some other people avoid it. You know what I mean? It's lifestyle sometimes, yeah, but the thing about it is is that people... We got mad serious. I'm straight at the subject.
Starting point is 00:24:24 No, no, it's cool. The reason why is people need to know that. People need to know that because the folks that's out here doing what we're doing. Because ASAP Yams and everybody is saying the same thing when they come to ASAP Yams. They're saying that it's the Koldeen. What's my man? Michael from out in Houston. And they're saying, way.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Screw, DJ, screw. Screw. Well, screw. I don't think he died off. But, you know, because I think if you as an activist, a rapist, I would like to call you, you know, if you were allowed. to call you that. Like you speak up for us. Like when something happens in the community, whether it's rap, hip hop, or just being black or just being poor, we expect people like you to speak up. So when we think about it. But we need to make sure when we get in
Starting point is 00:25:05 fucking trouble that folks turn around and speak for us, shit. Like, like, let's make some good. Like, yeah, like, go shut the mother face. What the fuck? You know, the black man's coming out. It's not happening. Anybody, shit. Right now they are marched on Twitter. They don't march in real life. But this is what I'll say that. His Instagram likes. I'll be watching on Twitter, too. And I'm being honest, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:33 At the end of the day, like, bro, we don't really know what happened. I'd heard several stories about what could have happened. You know, and just like they say, you know, shit, what Mike died for, what Prince died for him. Both of those people had two of the most amazing record deals ever. Fucking Mike owned over 50% of Sony. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:55 You know, Prince owned all his shit. So, like, and Pimson. was one of the most outspoken motherfuckers I ever said shit Well bring me to the point You remember when he said He said Atlanta ain't even the South You know
Starting point is 00:26:08 Such as such as the South You remember that conversation You made at the radio show? Yeah I remember the conversation Was that not the craziest Well I think that whole conversation Not even about that aspect of it But a lot of the things that he was bringing
Starting point is 00:26:20 up about rap that people don't talk about And that's what I was saying Like we want to focus on like The media The same thing that happened to me The media throw whatever the fuck they want to out about people of culture And because they don't think we nothing but drug addicts and gang bans and don't dealers any fucking way So people just take that shit when that don't be the case shit fucking
Starting point is 00:26:41 We don't know why Prince died the motherfucker was a vegan and looked better at fucking 58 or Then he did at 28 and now all of a sudden this motherfucker die and and motherfucker Eric Clapton can snow it half of Peru And the mother's your mom That's true That we get it, you guys!

Starting point is 00:27:27 Like, they call it conspiracy theory. That's the way to disregard it. But, like, I don't believe that shit. But I tell him all I tell the motherfucker this. If something ever happened to me, I want a motherfucker to do something. I don't want nobody talking shit. I don't like the way they change. Like even with Ali, they fucking change his hope.
Starting point is 00:27:46 They say Ali was colorless. The fucking, his motherfucking last name is Muhammad. How are you going to say he colorless? Like, at the end of his life and all he ever fought for was the right of indigenous people. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I just looked at the OJ thing, right? Yeah, yeah, let's get to the OJ.

I was down there fucking with two shorts, so I was looking at the big house. Like, how much is it from a hundred, fucking money?
Starting point is 00:34:16 Why? Why? It's 2 a.m. we go on to the club? Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Hey, you know, I just bought me a house down there, been down there. I live out here in Miami. Because this is...

Starting point is 00:34:39 You still do? Let me tell you, anywhere that we have an opportunity to do business, I have houses in Mississippi and run my business out of Atlanta. Right. You know, I'm buying wherever the check is, honey. Right. Because we've been receiving a lot of, like, stories that's saying that, like most hip-hop artists, they die or they mess up when they're in their own city.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Do you feel like that? Bousie was saying that, right? Bousie broke it down so great. No, he did. That's just crazy. He was like hip-me. He's got ties with a hater. He said some shit.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I was like, damn, this nigga's smart. Like, and what he's trying to say is, people in your city might hate you more than just people right down the block. Do you think that's a true theory, like down, in the next city, like, you know what I mean? Yeah. If there was anywhere that there was any way
Starting point is 00:35:28 that way, look. No, you go ahead. Oh, shit, you know, I stand ahead of here 21st, Locke's Long Beach, Eastside, you know what I'm saying? Right there on the block. Everybody's seen me here. They know where I met, you know what I'm saying? I met, you know what I'm saying, but it's all love where I'm at, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:35:41 because we all, you know, we're city of grips, you know what I'm saying? Ain't no other other gang and all the other things, you know what I'm saying? Right. I'm everywhere, you know what I'm saying? I'm out here over town, you know what I'm saying? My brother's still across the bridge, we over here, you know what I'm saying? We're everywhere. I got 20 acres in Mississippi, my mama I'm gonna live there.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Right, why? And my daddy from New Orleans, but he live out here. Wow. You know what I'm saying? We've been out of here. That's crazy. That's crazy. Just make some noise with that.
Starting point is 00:36:08 cracking on Miami. We could have been in Kendall. You could have been in Kendall with us. No, man, I've been here since Pack Jam. Oh, yeah. Pack Jam is Real Miami. Disco Rick, you know, everybody. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:36:22 So hip hop is, you know, right there. But you don't feel like sometimes it's more hate in your city than it is. Yeah, it's more hate if you make it like that. That's deep. You know what I'm saying? That's deep. You make it like that.
Starting point is 00:36:36 This is what I tell people. But how do you feel about that, though, Banner? I'll tell you. Do you feel like it's more hate in your city? I study. I studied the plight of black people. Roll up. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:48 And what people don't understand is a lot of our problems stem from slavery. Do you know that when one slave would escape the plantation, they would beat every slave on a plantation nearly to death. But the fear in. Right. So that's what the hate comes from. When somebody see you getting off the plantation, like that nigg is. nigga ain't no better to me. How dare
Starting point is 00:37:09 he fucking dream? When my fucking dreams are being crushed. You feel me? So it's like what we don't understand, we've been programmed to be the way that we are and we're malfunctioning and don't even know the fucking reason why. So, like, for me, I
Starting point is 00:37:25 know the reason why people feel the way that they feel. But the thing that I do is I constantly, I literally, and Pimpsey helped me do this. I wrote down everything people said that I wouldn't do. And I went back and So if a motherfucker hate me, it's because they hate themselves. And if they hate themselves, I can't help you.
Starting point is 00:37:44 You know what I'm saying? You got to. You got to. A motherfucker came up to me one time at home, like, Dave Banner. Right. Like, I really don't like you. And I hugged. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Wait, what? He said, I really don't like you. And I hugged him. Because this is after I, you know, became a better meditative banner. Right. Not the better than you did. Right, right, right. And I told him, brother, you got to stand in a long line.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Right. Because at the end of the day, man, people just don't... A lot of times, too, when you come from smaller places, people don't know how to say I need help. Right. So instead of saying, hey, y'all... They act the food. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Hey, y'all, can I get a beat? They're just like one of the homies like a bitch, you know what I'm saying? Right. But he's just dissing the bitch. Yeah, bitch, bitch. You know you want to fuck. Yeah, she said. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:30 That is a gang member. That's a crazy analogy. That thing is a gang member. I don't want to fuck the bitch, man. Yeah, he was like everything to a gang. You got to respect. And everything was a gang sign. You're talking it up for the rest of them.
Starting point is 00:38:42 So, like, for me, bro, you have to know why people are hurting. And that's one of the things I've been doing. I've been doing these lecture series. And, like, honestly, this is the crowning. And I've done, bro, I've got awards from all over the world. This has been my crowning moment, bro. Like, I do lectures and, like, hoods all over the world. I went to me and Dr. Umar did Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:39:05 thousand people Did Shreve, Port Louisiana, 1,200 people. So what do you think? Because one day I called you, you remember this? I called you and I said, yo, we really need a hip-hop union. Yeah, I remember that.
Starting point is 00:39:19 We stayed on the phone for an hour and 45 minutes. And do you think our heart was in the right place at that time? I believe it was. Let me tell you. And I believe I wasn't wrong. No, you were right. But the thing that we have to do is we have to become successful. Because the thing about these kids, I tell people this all the time.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Like, kids don't necessarily want to sell drugs. But what they do is they see the success out of selling drugs. I see the bitches. I see the women. I see the success. I see what you can get out of it. You're telling me to go to college. Ah!
Starting point is 00:39:54 My uncle went to college. He's right back on the block. Right. So kids want to see some success. So if you want a union, if I want kids to do better, I got to show them some fly shit. They don't want to hear fucking. theory these kids are sick of motherfuckers lying to them. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Like that man that shit is dead. All of this wishing and hoping and people get mad in me. All of this wishing and hoping and playing. Like we got to get up off our knees and do some shit. And if you be successful and kids see you looking good and
Starting point is 00:40:25 face looking fresh and shit car, like kids just want success. And I tell people that if they see success then they'll want to be like you. I don't give a fuck. Let me tell you If women said, I ain't giving no more pussy than nobody but doctors, nobody but doctors, just getting to be no sickness in this motherfucker. Am I right?
Starting point is 00:40:48 She makes the motherfucking know what I'm like, do the gaysie day, we killing the doctors now. So let me ask y'all this question. Now with that being said, Spike leave in the movie. You're doing a fucking excellent job, dog, man. I'm on point. I'm sorry. So listen,
Starting point is 00:41:18 Spike Lee, he just tried to do that point. The point that you said was Spike Lee tried to actually make a play. But he used real culture. The Chirac joined. Shirek, right? But I actually see the good in what he was trying to do, even though it might have made a mockery,
Starting point is 00:41:41 but you understand what you just said. It's, it, it, it, it, it. It corresponds with what you just said so much Because you said if women But hold on, let me feel it. You said if women was to say, Nah, we ain't fucking unless you are a doctor, right? That's what Spike tried to do.
Starting point is 00:41:57 That's what they did in the film. Spike tried to say, like, yo, they ain't fucking until you put your guns down. But the city of Chicago definitely... Yeah, it's a... Yeah. Yeah, it's... Go ahead, bro. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I like how you speak. No, it's a... It's like, you got to do that in your city. Like Scarface told me that, man. But Chicago is the worst city right now. But like when you... Killing everywhere. But no, when you come in to people's cities, bro,
Starting point is 00:42:27 and you don't connect. Like Chicago taught me that. I went to Chicago to... I was going to do like some amazing shit, and I sat down and talk to the real people that run the streets. Those are my niggas. And like, you got to come in, bro. You got to do it right.
Starting point is 00:42:42 If you really want to help the community, you got to connect with the people. people in the community. Like, like, bro, that's like me going to L.A. and trying to tell people
Starting point is 00:42:51 what to do. Like, bro, no, you got to connect with the folks and let them do what they want to do and you be a part of it because if you don't,
Starting point is 00:42:58 you saw what happened. So, like, you don't want to take something that you believe is positive and look what it ended up turning into. Like, you got to connect
Starting point is 00:43:08 the real people. I didn't watch it because people in Chicago told me not to watch it. And I said, I got family out there. I got, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:15 Like, I got real, real family in Chicago, so when they told me they was offended, I just didn't participate. But you can't take somebody's pain. But I kind of thought what Spike was trying to do. Like, he was trying to send a message, the same shit that you just said. Like, I think the message was good. I think the way he pulled it off. Take the message and make the message dope and popping, just like I told you. And make the people.
Starting point is 00:43:36 But don't put it under the guise of somebody else's pain. Right, yeah. Use your pain. You're right. It's a shit going on. His pain was do the right thing. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:45 That was all. Which was a general statement. That was good. That was all. Yo, finally, we hear Drink Chance at the fourth annual Black Effect podcast festival.

I'm talking to the people closest to the biggest issues happening in your community and around the world. Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on. I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. These victims have been let down time and time again for decades and decades by local law enforcement, by federal law enforcement by administration after administration.
Starting point is 00:46:53 The Justice Department through, I think we counted four presidential administrations, failed these victims. Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, what do you think about all this shit
Starting point is 00:47:19 with the gun laws going on right now? With the shit that have... Obviously, we know we've been having problems with guns forever, but obviously when the shit, like in Orlando happens, now it's front and center, but what do y'all think about that? Like, what comprehensive gun laws you think should go? Tell them, dads, they'd be killing niggins in Long Beach
Starting point is 00:47:34 all day. That's a sick thing, man. I mean, what do you really think, like, what do you think they should be trying to do, pass, not having, you know, rifles with a certain amount of rounds? Like, what do you think? That's real. I mean, man, a kid can get a gun, man. I got a little homies around, you know what I'm
Starting point is 00:47:50 know what I'm saying? But it's just about us. Like, OGs and all that. you know getting it into the you know what I'm saying and just getting into it you know what I'm saying right yeah because that's that shit is kind of crazy like I still going through the same cycle or trying to be the bigger man and you know like so motherfuckers like that get killed though yeah same job yeah you know it's vice versa so you always got to know how to play everything you know what I foresee it all guns guns don't guns don't kill people but but do you okay okay
Starting point is 00:48:20 guys don't kill people you mean stupid motherfuckers kill people right I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna tell y'all something and put the camera straight on me. If you want to put David Banner in jail, make some gun laws and come to my house. I got an AR-15. I got two AR-15. Right, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Because what I believe is, there's just as many, there's just as many bad cops as there are bad people. Oh, day. All day. Bad cops are killing black folks with guns, every people of culture, period.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Every fucking day. All around the world, but they're not taking their job. guns away. Right. These motherfuckers go overseas and we are the
Starting point is 00:49:01 most technologically advanced country in the fucking world on one of them and we can't find 30 fucking people but we bomb fucking nations. You know what I'm saying? It's like...
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah, we gang bang on an international level. The problem that I'm trying to get people to see and this just made me is because of our phones, we got a chip on us all fucking day. Right?
Starting point is 00:49:24 Because of our credit cards, they're putting a chip on all your car. The Mark of the Beast happened. All right, all right. So then. You ever watch that movie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Which one? Mark of the Bees. My mother used to make it, you know, used to go to church. And they made us watch this movie called Mark of the Beast. This is a movie called the Mark of the Beast. I never seen it. It's like when everybody go to heaven then there and there's soldiers and people telling them what to do and they market them and they're putting it in their forehead. And they put me in that shit.
Starting point is 00:49:53 So watch this movie. And this is my theory. All right. scary on the J-JITZs right now. The four horsemen. So all of our quintessential rights are now being taken away, and
Starting point is 00:50:07 people are not even noticing. So what they did was killing black people don't shock America. So that's cool. So they kill some, you know, they kill some teenagers, some white teenagers. That didn't take away your gun laws. So it's like
Starting point is 00:50:22 every time America wants to pay, somebody always told me this, if you want to find the arsonists, never look at the fire. It's always something else that's going on in America. Like they've been trying to pass gun laws because the thing that I learned and one of my mentors said, there's no difference
Starting point is 00:50:39 between the police and our gangs. The only difference between our gangs and the policemen is that when they call for backup, their motherfuck's coming. Yeah, that's just like when I told the homie. I say, everybody in here. When that second car pull up, what happens?
Starting point is 00:50:55 and that second police car pull up what happened you poop yeah yeah shit yeah no and that's the only
Starting point is 00:51:07 and that's what they're afraid of like to be honest with you bro they'll take one thing out of a thousand things and make it a big deal because we try to find a leader whenever there's anarchy we need somebody to lead us
Starting point is 00:51:22 when there's a big and in no way And no way am I saying that what happened wasn't a tragedy, but that was one person. So why take away the rights that we have? Because I want you always remember something. Just think about this. Police and criminals don't give a fuck about laws. If a criminal want a gun, Dad just said it.
Starting point is 00:51:47 He's going to find a fucking gun. Dick Cheney shot somebody here. Yeah. He shot his homie in the head. Yeah. So what I'm saying is... Are we going to make some lawyers to Dick Cheney? Yeah, make some little of the head.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Bucking his homie. Literally, he bucked his homie. He fucked his homie. Bro, did we come up there and make Drake chefs a political show? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know what? Listen, listen, listen, we got the dumbest fans in the universe. Let me, we got a different.
Starting point is 00:52:20 This makes me noise for them, by there. Right, they're going back to school right now. Listen, we got to get school. We gotta get school. David Banner is schooling us. And he's filming you now. Dads. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Is in the motherfucking building. No. Yeah, y'all got so many hits, man. Dad is set to her right now in Miami. You got so many hits. What other crazy shit you produced, my nigga? Let's just hit us with whatever. Man, you know, me and Sean Price did a song when he was with Heltter Skelter.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Oh, shit. You know what I'm saying? On that first album, it was me and Kubra. You know what I'm saying? And so, um, that's a... And you said you produced for dads, you said, yeah, yeah. On, on, on, on, on, on, on, on what's our cousin right here.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Yeah. Like, we're families. Mm. They take care of me. We tear it up for days. We do. You know what I'm saying? The thing is, real friends, we ain't got to talk about that shit.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Like, they took care of me when, when I needed, like, seriously. Yeah, how did you get into the movie? Yeah. Yeah. That was the name of it? Yeah. Now, how did you get into the movie thing? That's what the money.
Starting point is 00:53:31 All right, so one of the things I want to tell the kids is like people look up at the screen like they'll see Pop and be like Pop just went from rap. Like, Pop was an actor first. You know what I'm saying? I've been in acting school for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I study. I train everything I do. Whether it's fighting, whether it's whatever the fuck. Like, kids have this misconception that you just fall out the motherfucking bed. If you're talented, that's only a head start. Most of the time, motherfuckers, just Steph Curry is a perfect example of that. That's a motherfucker that bust his fucking ass.
Starting point is 00:54:06 You know what I'm saying? To become great. And the thing that I realize is like, and I think about the West Coast more than anything. Like, the thing I think, in my personal assumption that really took the West Coast to the next level, is like during the time that Dre and then was making their move, they had colors. to have boys in the hood because a lot of times you can hear a record
Starting point is 00:54:30 but if you don't know what that shit look like motherfuckers is like motherfuckers can't be going through that shit that they say they oh shit they are oh that's a six-fold oh that's what that shit is right that's what the switch is
Starting point is 00:54:44 right that's what that shit do that's what that shit is is that what happened with Master P when he did the movie that kind of helped his movement what I say is like I still don't think the South has had just that
Starting point is 00:54:56 proper movement because like we need people who are actually producers and directors that come from where we come from instead of people from other places coming and giving what they think is from the South because a lot of times when I see motherfuckers do shit about the South I'd be mad about that shit.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Like I be like dog that's what you think it is you know? So you're going to do a Mississippi movie? I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do some Mississippi movies I'm going to do some a lot of fucking movies. I'm going to tell y'all stuff. Hey, think about this This is the reason why I started doing movies. Let me be the New York nigger that just come in and shoot somebody.
Starting point is 00:55:30 That's all I want to be in the Mississippi movie. Come on, make some noise to me want to shoot somebody. Hey, can I say my thing off? Yeah, well, how are you? I never said this on camera, I never said this on camera, bro. I don't shoot nobody no more. But there's some shit I want to address. Go ahead, address it got to me.
Starting point is 00:55:45 And belly, when they had to do eating a banana from the south, I had a problem. He wasn't from the South? He was from Ohio. He was in Carolina. He was Carolina. Was he? Yeah. Google it has
Starting point is 00:55:57 It's sure it has That's supposed to be in Carolina Yeah It was to get into some Coastal shit I don't like that shit It's just I'm like that shit Either way,
Starting point is 00:56:08 Either way The small town Eating the banana shit on the corner It was It was Yeah, we would have We would have a problem I think it was in Ohio
Starting point is 00:56:15 Yeah, it was in Carolina Yeah It was in Carolina Listen to this y'all Check this This is the reason Why I started doing One of the reason
Starting point is 00:56:25 Why I started doing movies there's this little black girl hold on a second I like the fact that he's the only guest we ever had that looked at towards the crowd oh no I'm looking at they face this nigga this he do on this show that's how motherfuckers no dude too damn this is the other man who's talking at me like this you know why this when you know a real MC dad seen you he said what you can do that too he turned a look This is This is niggins who know
Starting point is 00:57:00 How to control the crowd This is a difference between Talking And being a microphone Controller Right now This is real legendary shit Happening
Starting point is 00:57:11 I'm sorry if the listener Didn't know what's going on Continue my brother So this is what happened It was a little black girl She came in crying Uncontrollably She asked her father
Starting point is 00:57:23 She asked her father She said father She said dad Dad, Dad, Dad. Are there going to be any black folks in the future? And he looked down and said, baby, why you asked that? She said, because I was watching the Jetsons and I didn't see none. Like literally, think about this as it pertains to black people.
Starting point is 00:57:40 The name was Leroy Jetson and they won black. Look at the Jetson. Watch this. I just remember that. What a name is Lee's right? Don't forget the dog. The dog? What was it?
Starting point is 00:58:05 The dog was a nigga? So watch this. For black people. Most black people, because of conventional religion, think Jesus is white. So think about all the God complexes in the world. Jesus is white. Superman is white. Flash is white.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Wonder Woman is white. Tarzan. Tarzan is white. All the black folks in the fucking jungle. So think about, listen, when a kid, I'm a stepchild. And the fact that I don't look like my dad, that fucks with me. My stepdad changed my whole entire fucking life. He's been with me since I was three.
Starting point is 00:58:45 So when I always tell people, if you told your kids that they was gods, maybe they would act like gods. And maybe if they act like God, somebody would treat them like gods. It's easy to kill a nigger. And I always tell people, if I see a God in you, I might beat the devil. level out your motherfucking ass, but I won't kill you. So when most black people see white people in the back of their subconscious, they see Jesus. I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I don't know whether to make sense of the way. I'm a funnel. I'm a football. I was more bottle. The other is dropping juice. I'm serious. Nah. Think about how quick a motherfucker
Starting point is 00:59:30 will kill another black person. They see some white folks, they be like, damn, that's 50 years. That's Jesus. That's very deep. Drink shams in this motherfucker out! Yeah! He got real deep and he's the fucking in that guy.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I was like, no, because you know I'm conscious, so I know exactly what you do. He's not right now. No, he's a life right now. That's some real shit, man. That's some real shit. So, Dad's, man. I don't even live. Get away from David.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I'm trying to keep it together. I'm trying to keep it together. I'm trying to keep it together. together, man. So, um, Das, what, what do you see hip hop going now from here? From here? Man, hip hop is,
Starting point is 01:00:20 on a good path right now going to the top, man, you know what I'm saying? It's all in commercials, you know, old people rapping and shit and everything everything, you know, hey, it's going there, the money is there. And Snoop out there killing them still. All the time. Like, like in the night, like Snoop don't age. All the time. Well, and that's your real
Starting point is 01:00:36 cousin, correct? That's the hip-hop prince. She's very in superfly, man. Yeah, he, yeah. Superfly. Superfly was the one that hooked me up with Snoop. He heard my beats before anybody else. He did the most admirable shit ever. He said at the end of the day, Snoop make the money. We gotta take the beats to him.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Now he heard my beats was like, yo shit jamming. He's like, man, fuck me personally. Like, it's cool. You can have some beasts on my shit that's coming out. You need to go see. And Snoop did the craziest shit, y'all. That's when we had the ASR and the dish used to get corrupted. What did you in that day?
Starting point is 01:01:08 Yeah. Y'all, Snoop stood up first. front of me, my diss was corrupt, so the beat he wanted wouldn't pull up. He said, you got ten minutes. Pull that motherfucker up. And y'all, I was homeless sleeping in my van. And I literally saw my career passing across. He said, 10. No, shit. Hey, daw. I was about to piss on myself, I was like, what the fuck? I'm broke as fuck. And this motherfucker won't load. He's three, two, one, get the fuck out of here. And I was like, shit. He was like, I'm just joking, He was like, go home
Starting point is 01:01:41 Get that shit to Kelly and come back And like, all of us been cool Ever since then I snuck this steak on to you, man To play them peace for y'all And like Their whole family took me in. Like when I was in L.A., I didn't know nobody, bro.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Like, they really, I appreciate y'all. Now what made you, well, well, you lived in Atlanta first And then lived in L.A.? No, what happened was, man, I've been there. Mississippi right by Atlanta. I went from Mississippi to Louisiana to Atlanta to New York.
Starting point is 01:02:09 I was homeless sleeping next to dogs and shit. Piss on the floor and shit. And I moved at, I was dating at the time. I was dating a girl in Trent, New Jersey. And I thought I could ride. Hold on. Hold on. Can't just, Trent, I love, gold fingers, what's up?
Starting point is 01:02:30 Yeah, no one out there. What's up? The trend is very wild. It's serious. It's true. It's true. It's true. Very wild.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Yeah. Yeah. Trit is my, yeah. So you, oh, hold on. So you was going to pick her up in Trent? No, I was, um, actually. Nobody picks up. No, no.
Starting point is 01:02:45 No, no, I actually moved in with Hunter and Mama. He can't, he can't, I moved in, Howard, Jersey right now. I moved in, Hunter, Mama, so I'm going to New York and get this deal. The dick was good. But now, inside the label, wasn't you down with, uh, loud SRC?
Starting point is 01:03:01 Yeah, you got one of the biggest deals at that time. Well, yeah, that was afterwards? Yeah, but inside the labeled, was you, was you not included in I went in loud. We was SRC. So that was a whole different. Because that was after Steve had threw the chair out the window. But he invested in you to restart the whole joint.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Yeah. Like, like, we did that. Like, to be honest with you, it was reciprocal. And I'll say this. Hold on. Because that's what I met in Banner at that time. I'll say this. I'll say this.
Starting point is 01:03:29 I told you our fans are the dumbest in the world. What does reciprocal mean? It's going both ways to the home of. I'll say this about, I'll say this about. Steve. I think Steve, like, because I was running, I was running in LA and I saw Steve, and I think Steve don't think I like him. Like, we cool. Like, I don't have no problem with dude. He don't think Dead Presidents like him neither. Like, I'm cool. Like, bro, I think he changed my life and I changed his life because I believe I'm the reason
Starting point is 01:03:56 why he was able to really stand up in the Universal Building. And that, like, a pimp record. But, but why is that, why is that, like, an issue? Like, you and Dead Pres both said the same thing about him. Let me tell you, people think because you're pro-black that you hate white folks. Break it down. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, definitely, because motherfuckersers know what they've done wrong. Right. Like, dude, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know any other label that would have, have, that would have, have, that's, yeah, that would have, have took a rapper like pun,
Starting point is 01:04:40 motherfucking three six mafia. Let me say that again. Three six mafia. Wu Tang a whole bunch of crazy motherfuckers.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Like, I tell, I don't think I could have went anywhere else and been as Mar-examination. Yeah. I don't,
Starting point is 01:05:00 I don't, exhibit, Ray Korn, and we can go on and all. But, but like the thing is, bro, is like,
Starting point is 01:05:06 Steve, I was one of the few people I noticed this, bro, I was one of the few people No folks were scared of me Like, people see this shit right here, bro But there's a whole other I started to change my name away from David Banner Because I saw so many similarities In me and their incredible hope
Starting point is 01:05:24 Because like I got a clinical anger problem, dog Like I go to therapy I sit down on the couch With an old white lady And talk about how fucking angry I am Just so you know This is my therapy. I do the champs every week.
Starting point is 01:05:38 I know the number of the white. Makes some noise of me being my therapy while he's talking about therapy. And that's why the shit happened like in Washington. Dude, like, at the end of the day, we still, our default is what the fuck we're from. If a motherfucker, if a motherfucker get wrong with you, left right. You feel me? Go right back to the hood. Section 1, Section 2,000, 3, since you're 4.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Same thing. For me, it's Cuban Avenue. There you go. So for me, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I think I did as much for Steve as Steve did for me. But I couldn't have been the man that I am today because I'm doing some amazing shit. What people don't know, bro, I own a multimedia company. I score all, all the music for Gatorade for the World Cup. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Uh, Mercedes Bens. Uh, shit. name it. Three years ago, all the music for Pepsi during the NFL season. This is the nigga from coming to America. Let's make some noise. And what you need to know, Nori, is I am the guy that says the rural penis is clean.
Starting point is 01:06:51 Yeah, yeah. Tell them. Tell them, God damn. I went to L.A. one time, and I just sat in. I sat in on his session. It was crazy. He was doing mad deals. Remember when I went to L.A.? and I just sat in? You were doing interviews. He was doing scoring shit. I was like, yo, Banner's doing crazy
Starting point is 01:07:05 shit right now. But that's where I keep telling people. Like, if you want to get these kids, you got to show them success. So the truth is, people hear about the God box, like, which you can pre-order right now. I was about to go into this because, you know, I follow you on social media. And I think your fans are a little pissed off at you. I'm going to just keep it real. Why?
Starting point is 01:07:29 They've been waiting for you to drop this for quite some time. Like, I'll be seeing them just go at you. Like, I love when I follow a nigga on social media, they're there. They liked the pre-mix tape. They liked that. But this was so misanicipated. Did I see you on an interview where you said that the reason why you couldn't get it is because you needed people's signatures?
Starting point is 01:07:50 Yeah. How difficult is that when you... I'm going to say this. I was real disappointed because I really only did records with people. And me and you talked about this. Like, after I had made the metamorphosis that I made, I'm going... Yeah, yeah, definitely. You're really trying to ruin it.
Starting point is 01:08:07 I'm sorry, I'm trying to do president for shit. They're trying to get the incredible home. You gave me where I want to go. You gave me where I want to go. You want to answer that? Because I got somewhere I want to go. Go where you want to go. Listen, we had Talib Kuali on this show, right?
Starting point is 01:08:25 And he thought I was bullshit. But I really want Talib Kuali to run for New York City mayor. Because I think at some point as us, hip hop and you know somebody get killed and we retweet that and we say so
Starting point is 01:08:42 hold on we say so but why we can't have Talebquale run for New York City mayor right get David Bama to run for Mississippi
Starting point is 01:08:52 mayor or fuck it you don't got to run for Mississippi mayor let's do some Arnold Schwarzenegger shit move to Hollywood
Starting point is 01:08:59 we're about to do that shit don't say it out let nah man and you know what they don't even drop You know what? We got $3 million something right now. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:09:10 Also, this is a thing, man. No, right, let me say one thing. Let me stop you. Excuse me. Are you running for me? We need you to run. Let me tell you this. Because, listen, listen, let me say what I want to get off my chest.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Because I feel like this, there's, there's, whatever races there is, we should add another race. And that race should be hip-hop. And what I mean by that. That's deep. What I mean by that is. why hip hop society can't look out this is one of the deepest
Starting point is 01:09:41 conversation I ever had I knew one in 15 years as me sitting them and say yo I just feel like hip hop need a union like I want people that he brought the shit
Starting point is 01:09:51 all the way down too had one hit they distributed and they fucked up I want to like pay for something like if he he break his knee
Starting point is 01:10:00 like Kairz one he tried to do the yeah I remember I told but I had already spoke to the brother. He did.
Starting point is 01:10:08 And this is real shit. It's like, I think we can control more because I told it to Russell and I said this on the podcast. I said this on another podcast. I don't remember. But I told Russell,
Starting point is 01:10:22 I said, I need you to run for president. And Russell said, yo, I smoked dope. And I was like, I said everybody smoked. Me too. No, he smoked.
Starting point is 01:10:32 But he said dope. I think he was like. I think it with Russell. He told him, you know, he kicked the whiz, He said, no, he don't smoke, but he said, man, in my young day, you can look at it in the crush group. Oh, shit. No, he definitely did dope.
Starting point is 01:10:50 So he told me he smoked heroin, right? Angel does. Angel does. But I told him, fuck that, right? Now listen, now listen, I'm going to try to break something down as smart as I can. Right now, whether you agree with Trump or you disagree with Trump, he is making politics like a freestyle battle. Oh, it's a total freestyle. It's kind of like a freestyle.
Starting point is 01:11:09 It's kind of like a free... It's kind of like smack DVD. Yo, he took it all the way down there. It's like, yo, you can say something facts. And if I got the better rhyme... Yeah, the punchline. If I'm more... Add it into the crowd with the punchline,
Starting point is 01:11:28 the crowd fucks with me. So why we can't elect Kanye and J-Z whenever the presidential years is? And then... To make sure we get them, we get the people running for mayors. Bun B. B. Buhn Bede, the president of... Bumby could definitely do some shit. What is it? What is it?
Starting point is 01:11:55 Come on, man, help me out. I got him in every city. Oh, you're Bum Bucan. No, I know, I know. You're going to do it? Poor Arthur. You know, he running poor after. You know, Taleb Kuali running at least Brooklyn office,
Starting point is 01:12:09 if you don't run for the actual mayor. You know what I'm saying? Like Snoop running for the motherfucking governor of Cala. Fuck that. California. Like we, you know, listen,
Starting point is 01:12:22 because we all laugh at it. Because this is my dream, right? Listen, we all laughing. But the same way we get a nigga to go out and buy a Drake album for whatever, whatever. Listen, Drake, you're running for Toronto mayor now. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:12:37 Like, Hey, your dream ain't too far. We got truck running for president. Listen, this is what I'm saying. No, but what I'm saying is. Am I bugging bad? No, because that's something that's something that's in the works. But the thing is, is that I personally feel like we got to stop saying it.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Because when the tea party, they're going to stop it. No, not that they're not that they're going to start it. When the tea party do shit, you don't know what it to is too late. See, I got to look at it like this, man. You know, paying taxes. You're going to move from Bay and Long Beach. Paying all that taxes and all that other shit, man. This shit is gangster.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Right. You know, it's gangster on the street. Them motherfuckers up there. Yes, they are. Oh, they're tag me. They're killing. They're killing. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:13:19 Dush you off in a minute while they're brushing their teeth and shit. You know what? But can we keep complaining? Listen, can we keep complaining about the laws that don't protect us? If we actually have a chance to make the laws that protect us? Let me tell you. Let me tell you. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 01:13:33 Let me tell you. This is what I tell people. Power won't invest in poor people. and to poor people invest in power. We got to make power moves. But we got to do it quietly, though, bro. We got to talk to each other in rooms. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:13:48 We have talked to each other in rooms, like how me and you talk. And then once we get our shit together, then we talk about it because if we talk about it before, then they're figuring out ways to make sure that it's going to happen. It's like this.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Never say a name on the internet before you go get the domain name. There you go. That's what I'm talking about. Because like now, This motherfucker is going to try to get the name. I don't want to sell it to you. And that they're going to pass the halls to make sure that you take.
Starting point is 01:14:15 But you know something that I think we've been fucking up as a culture. You know I do the documentary series where I go outside the country and I'm checking out these other countries. And as I've been going to these countries, they're saying they don't really follow us no more. And I think us as a culture, we're not paying attention to the influence that we've had internationally, which could have made even the culture more powerful here. You know, and then we let it go. We let it go.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Now, when I went to Vietnam, I just went to Vietnam, I'm like, who influences you? Korea, Japan, used to be U.S. Remember, when we go down there, it's a motherfucking party. No, it's definitely a party. No doubt when we go. Influential, when we go down there, I can be walking down the street.
Starting point is 01:15:05 But we're not investing in the culture. They know about the coach. But this is what I'm saying. I apologize because you off E. But this is what I'm saying. Like the voter die campaign. Everybody had a T-shirt. Everybody had a T-shirt.
Starting point is 01:15:21 We did the promo. Crazyhood. Puff ran out. But let's imagine if Puff was the actual running guy. The guy to a run. If we had an end result that had to do with us. If we had it, exactly. Puffy stays shot.
Starting point is 01:15:36 He got the suits and that. Like, why we can't force Puff, Hove, and Kanye, like, really... We shouldn't force people who don't want to do it. They'll do it. They'll do it because this is hip-hop. Being the president, Donald Trump made being the president hip-hop. Because he went at it like a smack DVD. Let's make some noise with Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:16:00 I don't know if we should. I'm sorry. You're not making noise with Donald Trump. That, not, but his approach. No, no. Watch this. His approach. And how far he got.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Watch this, though. How far he got? I'm sorry. I didn't need those. No, no, no, no, no, no. Watch this. But the thing that I said, but the thing that I tell people is because we don't pay attention,
Starting point is 01:16:20 I don't have a problem with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a business man. He showed motherfuckers what he was about. He's about business. He said it back in the day. He said, like, if I ever run for president, this one, he was a Democrat. He said, I would run as a Republican. He's the, what do you call?

White folks, which you know about trees and men swinging from them that look like me. How you say that don't affect us. Tuskegee, how you let them infect us.
Starting point is 01:19:01 It's fear of the black semen. Putting sage on a page to eradicate these demons. This for Tosa, Oklahoma. This for Rosewood. You know what I'm saying? And I want to ask you this last question because we kept hearing you saying you was homeless and you could have gave up. Let's reflect on the moments when you thought about giving up and what made you not give up. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:19:35 I'm from the poor state in the union. Mississippi? Mississippi. Yeah. Y'all look rich for me from the outside. Giving up. Let me tell you something, bro. Let me tell you this to everybody who think about it.
Starting point is 01:19:45 everybody who think about giving up. If you give up, you go back to what the fuck you're from. Giving up is not what you should worry about. It's being successful. When you're successful, that's when shit change. You used to being broken, fucked up. Like, that ain't what you worry about is being fucked up. It's being successful.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Then you got to do something new. Do you got to worry about how to keep in calm and can't cuss out the white folks like he used to? David Bannon. Like, that's when you got to learn a new skill, that's when you've got to learn accounting. That's when you got to learn a business. That's when you've got to learn how to be
Starting point is 01:20:21 diplomatic, and we ain't diplomatic motherfuckers. We're emotional motherfuckers. And we're drunk. For me, it ain't, it ain't, bro, I ain't going back. I ain't going, I ain't, no, not, I mean, going back to being broke. A state of mind.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Mississippi is, let me tell you something. Let me tell you, I'm going to clear all this shit up. It's about my people. If all the black people and people of culture, moved out of Mississippi. Right. Hey,
Starting point is 01:20:49 because ain't none of us from this bitch anyway. Anywhere we claim. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, dog, we don't own this shit. Right. Like, we people of culture.
Starting point is 01:20:58 Like, man, it's, it's a global thing for all of us. Like, I've read Mississippi because, I've read Mississippi as hard as I do.
Starting point is 01:21:05 I tattooed it on my back because motherfuckers act like they parents are from Mississippi. How you do it? You want to see? I like the way you be like. I like the way you break it down. I'm going to be like.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Damn. Yeah, I'll write about that no more. Come on. Let me just say this. You know, I ain't going to front. You really put Mississippi on the back. Like, you know, I was from left rack, right? So that's why you keep saying left frack and that's my hood.
Starting point is 01:21:35 I love it. But that's just a small, that's just a part of New York City. Nobody had never heard a rapper. Oh, let me tell you. Mississippi. You were the first. Let me read this to you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:21:48 Let me read this to you right quick. It's funny. I was reading Psalms. morning. I wake up every morning and I study something from me. Give us the Reverend one pray. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Every religion. Every religion. I study Buddhism, I studs. Are you every religion?
Starting point is 01:22:01 No, I'm not every religion, but I study every religion. Indeed. So listen, it said, be not wise and die own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil. Proverbs 3-7. Like, I don't take credit for shit I'm supposed to
Starting point is 01:22:15 do. You're supposed to stand up for your people. You're supposed to do for your community. I don't take, when people pat me on my back for the shit that I do for my community. It's what the fuck you're supposed to do as a man. Don't fucking... My dad told me that. My dad said, you don't stand up for the shit you're supposed to do.
Starting point is 01:22:31 You're a fucking man. It's that it ain't a lot of men and hip-hop no fucking mode. You know, hard tell you what to do. Right. So it's like motherfuckers try to play like, I'm a Malcolm or something. I ain't know what close to our fathers. We ain't... I'm going to say this.
Starting point is 01:22:44 That's just like basketball players who win one fucking championship and they start comparing them to greats. Hey, motherfucker, that's degrading the culture. The shit I'm doing ain't special. I'm doing what the fuck I'm supposed to do, but because most motherfuckers don't do shit at all and make me look like a kid. I ain't doing nothing, bro.
Starting point is 01:23:02 I got more work to do, but, man, I love my people. You got more work to do, but we're very proud of you. Oh, man, thank you. We're very proud of you.

Starting point is 01:23:57 You gotta be in the drink challenge. We've been this David Madder's world. One time, just listen to me. Listen, listen, this is a really sad story. This is really sad. And I don't want to bring down the vibe. No, no. But y'all never heard what happened to my kids.
Starting point is 01:24:09 This is gonna be a joke. No, I'm serious. No. You didn't? They got swallowed. It got to be hard being a conscious nigga around a whole lot of ass. It's balanced, man.
Starting point is 01:24:33 Balance. When we started, we didn't love them hoes. So we was, it was all. You all the bitch. It was all the bitch. Leave them bitches alone. You got some money. What can you do for me?

Starting point is 01:24:55 Because you got to have a balance, David, Badd. It's not fun. Levels spell backwards is level, because you've got to balance. Let me tell you why it's not hard for me. You also made strip club music, too. Let's make some noise for you. I made the dirtiest song ever. Talk about it.
Starting point is 01:25:08 I may play. I tell people this all the time, bro. Just because I'm conscious, don't mean I don't want to fuck. I tell people that all the time. Like, damn, just because I read the fucking book, don't mean my dick don't get hard. But it doesn't control me like it used to. Like the thing is, I watch, man.
Starting point is 01:25:34 I even watch the shit that happened to pop. They admit it when that rape shit happened with pop. He wasn't even in the fucking room. So it's like, when are we going to get fucking smart and realize, like, dude, rap is my fucking business at this point. And I feed, literally, though, I feed a whole tribe of people of all colors because I'm David Banner. So I have to watch
Starting point is 01:25:58 the shit I do, not just for me because the old David Banner creeps up a lot. But I think about the children, like the people that I fuck with. Like the Hulk creeps up. Yeah. So like for me, bro, like, let me tell you all, anybody that's a rapper,
Starting point is 01:26:14 let me tell you what you do. You fuck. Everybody want to fuck. I know. Lawyers want to fuck. Congressmen want to fuck. You You find a bra that has as much to lose as you have to lose. Right. And you cool.
Starting point is 01:26:31 You fuck with a broad. That's a mayor. That's shit. Don't tell it? Because what happens if David Banner get fucked up one day? He fucks a bitch. And then she got you on Snapchat. She ain't go get me on Snapchat.
Starting point is 01:26:42 I got too much money. I got too much jury on a bitch. I ain't even worried about it. Like I said before, a nigger they ain't got no money. Ain't got no time. Right. And I'm going home. It is.
Starting point is 01:26:53 How do you handle your group with you, David, Banner? I don't do a group. You're very hard. It's pause. Come on, David Banda. You had a one-night stand before. Go ahead. Let's break it down.
Starting point is 01:27:06 But what I did, let me tell you what I did. Back in the day, I had a tribe. All over the United States. Tribe of O is what you're saying, right? I just had a tribe. You call them what you wanted to call them, but I had a tribe. And they all knew what it was. So, like, I had a tribe from
Starting point is 01:27:25 It was all six hours from any place in the United States. A stable. See, you pivot. I just, I'm calling the tribe. Of course, he would call it a tribe. But did you have Afro-centric bitches? No, I had... Like the bitches that are doing with the...
Starting point is 01:27:44 He said he had Eskimos all the way down to. Like, America. Did you have a... I had women all over the world. It's not about that. It's just about people who understand what you about. Motherfuckers respect.
Starting point is 01:27:57 That's part of the problem. Most of my motherfuckers don't have respect. Is there a pimp culture in Mississippi? Oh, shit. That's where the shit is. Of course, of course. That's where it comes from. Let me tell you, that's one of the reasons
Starting point is 01:28:08 why I fuck with Harlem like I fuck with Harlem because the reason why they had zootsoos and shit was from the fucking South. Like, that's where the South went to. That's why I lived in Harlem for six years. Like, the pimp culture comes. A lot of people don't know this.
Starting point is 01:28:23 The pimp culture comes from slavery. People don't fucking read. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, read all the pimp books. The shit, what they did was, they treated the woman like the slave master. They've been treated. Treated black people.
Starting point is 01:28:40 That's all pimping is. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, like, read, read any fucking pimp book. Anybody that's a real pimp, they'll tell you that shit. That's what it fucking comes from. This shit ain't hard And that's why it's easy for me to transition We never learn this much
Starting point is 01:28:57 In one way It's not everybody just sitting around It's good to puffin is bad David Bairdard and touch the dick's hearts No y' y'all The Bucke's real thing He said that shit That's what it comes from
Starting point is 01:29:13 Niggas ready to call They strippers right now Like look bitch I let you go I let you go I ain't really mean That's not what I meant David Banner like

Starting point is 01:34:13 You ain't never, you never did that. Not one time. You know, I've always been a hustler, so I always have my own shit. You know what I'm saying? And if I've been kicked out. Exactly. So, all that bitch, man. That ain't all that shit.

Is this Pimp Blanky was you talking right now? Yeah, all that shit. You know what I'm saying? But as a kid, you know what I'm saying? You know what I always took that in

Starting point is 01:34:54 We move You know what I'm saying I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna lie In our experience In New York In the East Coast You know I forget about you
Starting point is 01:35:02 We have respect We have respect For our woman When it gets to the South and the West Coast like we don't call our women bitches yeah I can say what y'all want but in New York we don't call our women bitches when you get to the South they be like be it oh did you see the nigga beat cat stacks oh yeah I see the niggins oh yeah I see spinning her face but listen no further west you get they even put a nemesis
Starting point is 01:35:31 on the beach they'd be like bitch but like yeah if you dig about it, the disrespect towards our women don't start to the South and then look at David Bansett's different. It's different. Bitschies and women, two different things. No, but there's a lot of businesses. But you understand
Starting point is 01:35:50 what I'm saying? Like, this is just a deal with realistic shit. Like, y'all actually call y'all home girls bitch. Like, we don't call our home girls, bitch. I mean, they call it herself, bitch, you know what listen to them. They like, bitch, they don't get them. I don't give them fuck. But in the South and the West coast.
Starting point is 01:36:04 But let me tell you what I believe about that I believe that music in general Just is Because if you notice as soon as whatever Whoever was controlling music at the time Everybody adjusted So we can't necessarily say that anymore Because what you have to understand
Starting point is 01:36:25 During the time that you came out And I tell people this all the time Even in New York You had a community that was conducive Because you had the Israelites, you had the nation of gods and earths, you had everybody out on the block. Was it, who took all the people out of the shoot? Was it Plattaki? Who was it?
Starting point is 01:36:47 No, no. The Lord, I mean, the mayor. It could have been Batakki. No, no, it was. What's the name? Wasn't David? Bloomberg? No, no, it wasn't Bluebird?
Starting point is 01:36:57 It was a Bluebird. It was a little bird, too. He had a rich nigga. Anyway. Anyway, let me make the point. The point is this is that if you look at New York now the blocks are clean
Starting point is 01:37:10 it's not conducive to rappers we come from a place that ain't conducive To juliani by the thing Yeah Julian yes that's who it was Definitely it was Julian Brain freeze yeah so What Giuliani did was he made Stop and Frisk law
Starting point is 01:37:27 The law Like I can just look at you If I'm a police officer and I can just fresh you. But he froze everything in the hood. Yeah, well, that's what Giuliani did. But my point is. New York got the three-strikes law?
Starting point is 01:37:40 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Miami got it for sure. We don't even have a self-defense law in New York. You can call with a hammer, you go to jail. That's it. It's not Florida. It's not Mississippi.
Starting point is 01:37:49 It's not LA. Yeah, I'm in New York. Yeah, New York. We got the foulest law. So I know what you're trying to say? I got a shout out to, I had to park my bus. Where's brand new being from? Brooklyn, right?
Starting point is 01:38:04 No. New Rochelle. New Rochelle. I had to park my bus in New Rochelle. Yeah, because the buses are coming in the city. I had them things. And I'm from Mississippi, so I had all them things on my bus. But the problem is this, is that we don't look at the history of the places that we're from.
Starting point is 01:38:23 Like, what people don't understand is most, unless you're from the islands, if you're black, you're from the fucking south. Right. No, that's a fact. So it's saying that people came and people went to different parts of the country and got enlightened and forgot the reason why we are the way that we are. Do y'all know why we call crackers crackers? Do y'all know why we call hunkies, hunkies? We call hunkies because they used to pull up to the black whorehouses and they felt like they was too good to come to black whorehouses. So they used to hunk hunk. He comes to honky.
Starting point is 01:39:00 And you know why they call it crackers? You know why they call the crackers? Because of the crack or the whip on their fucking back. Even the words that we call them that they say that's derogatory, they're powerful. And you cracking my ass on my fucking back? That's a word of power. That isn't like, nigger. So I'm just saying that when you look at the South and you look at the West Coast,
Starting point is 01:39:23 you gotta look at the shit we went through. Do you know that? I can't say that. You mean George Jefferson and if ain't honky? No. That's my, that's my nigga. Let's make some grudge. Do you know about them?
Starting point is 01:39:39 I think it was South Central. I think it was South Central. If I'm not correct, excuse me, West Coast. But I think it was South Central, like, when they pulled up the... Masturbation proposition. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:39:50 They pulled up the train car with all guns in it. And all the homies, when he got the guns out, like, they're all, like, crack in America. You got to think about Ali North. You gotta think about Reagan.
Starting point is 01:40:03 Yeah, like all these shit that When you look at the reason why the South and the West Coast and the reason why we do the shit that we do, we do it for a fucking reason. And nobody ever talks about the fucking pain that we go through. And the thing that I hate when people move to these different countries, they forget what the fuck their mama from. And you remember Mississippi the album, my first album,
Starting point is 01:40:24 where I start my album off, I said, what the fuck your mama from? What the fuck your grandmama from? If you ain't from the islands, motherfucker, you're from the South. Yeah, it's pretty true. So when you look at the black exodus, black people were supposed to go and educate themselves and come back and either get us or educate us, but motherfuckers went and got government jobs and forgot them, motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:40:48 And that's where I come in. It's true. After slavery, we went straight to the South. But there's generations upon generations of people who, like I would say people in the West Coast. on a third or fourth, maybe fifth generation. Same thing in people in New York. But, yeah, ideology, everything.
Starting point is 01:41:06 We all from the South. We came from Slatechish. We came to the South. We went to Puerto Rico. You went to Dominican Republic. You went to Columbia. Which the island was the slave trade all came through the island. That's why I don't want it.
Starting point is 01:41:20 There's people in Dominican. There's people in Dominican. You get the wrong one. There's people in Dominican Republic darker than people in Compton. There's people in, but they don't consider themselves black sometimes and that's the problem colonialism is still entrenched in their culture
Starting point is 01:41:38 I just left Africa and that's what I found out colonialism is a bitch bro I always tell people the lasting effects where people are culture anybody in this motherfucker where can you go and really really really escape white supremacy Haiti? Haiti? Not even in Haiti Not even in Haiti because
Starting point is 01:41:59 when I went to Haiti The lighter people live all in the mountains, and they were the richer people. I heard somewhere that Haitian people are David Banner's favorite. Listen, you might be right, but I ain't going to Haiti or Cuba until y'all build a W. Make some noise for that. I ain't making noise for that. I ain't making for noise for that. I'm sorry, man.
Starting point is 01:42:24 I'm going to dance to the soul. But the places that defended themselves from white supremacy, like Haiti. Exactly. That's my point. I always the places that I treat it. Exactly. That I treated through words.
Starting point is 01:42:37 You're going to Haiti for a vacation? Bro, look. Haiti's a beautiful place. Don't play. Haiti's a beautiful place. I want to go. I'll see you in Hollywood movies. You ain't going to Haiti for no fucking vacation.
Starting point is 01:42:47 Keep it real. It may not be for a vacation, but a learning process, bro, like for us to learn. We need to learn. We need to learn the shit. They need. But listen, Haiti is a bad rap. They got some real shit. They got a bad rap.
Starting point is 01:42:59 They got a beautiful. Please he's there. I just fucking what Sunday to be. So you came from Africa. Let's take it there. Let's go. You said he came from Africa. He just said.
Starting point is 01:43:08 He just came from Africa. Let me say what I learned about Africa. White supremacy and people in America make you afraid of Africa so you won't go and be a billionaire. If you want to be a fucking billionaire, you need to take your ass to Africa. That's what they're going.
Starting point is 01:43:30 Everybody in the world is chopping up Africa. And getting these motherfuckin' Resources is crazy. It's crazy. And the one thing that I learned, bro, this is some crazy shit. A lot of the people that they flash on the fucking camera that y'all think poor,
Starting point is 01:43:43 them motherfuckers got 70 cows and fucking 400 acres of land. It's like they don't need your fucking help. It's going to be worth a lot. That's one of the things I learned. Like a lot of people that they take pictures of to make the motherfuckers.
Starting point is 01:43:56 Like, the motherfuckers ain't hurt. I went to a motherfucker and a girl tried to give Terrence J. Girl at the time tried to give. wanted to do the money, he slapped the money out of fucking hand. Like, motherfucker, I don't eat your motherfucking money? I own all that shit you're looking at. Wow.
Starting point is 01:44:11 So it's like, like, bro, like, they scare us away from our homeland, so we won't go back and get money. Like, I got to be honest with you all. I didn't take the opportunity and maybe I should have, but I had an opportunity to set up publishing situations in Africa, and I didn't do it because I didn't want to be the motherfucker that take an Americanized. system and pimp people who
Starting point is 01:44:34 don't understand. But it's like, bro, like the resources, the opportunities. I want to everybody in this room, if you're in the city that got a whole bunch of buildings, you're written. But if you're in a place where there's only land, you can build. You got an opportunity to
Starting point is 01:44:50 fucking build. Like, my best friend in the world right now, she fucking told me something I never thought about. She said, you know what I'm in too? I said, no, she said, I'm in putting my name on Builders. And I never thought about that.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Everybody who's listening to Drink Champs right now, when you in your city, look up and look at all the motherfuckers who names on building. It ain't no people. It ain't no people of culture. Yeah, I've been to Africa. What country's in Africa? Man, we've been all over with Snoop, you know. Sky is the limit.
Starting point is 01:45:26 So here's the million dollar question, Banner. You got some pussy in Africa? You went to Liberia? Did you go to Liberia? You can't even drink the water out there. You can't stay inside. Because Ali was offended that they flew in stakes on water. Not our homie Ali, but Muhammad.
Starting point is 01:45:44 No, Muhammad. Did you tap in to the resources? To the real resources, man. Oh, yeah, he did. He's drinking at the bottom. Poplar another one. Poplar, here, there you go. Hey, what did, what Day Chappelle said?
Starting point is 01:46:01 We don't know what Day Chappelle said. No, what's up? Not this one, Paplam. Poplar. What are you? Is this? It's a lot. I plead the fifth.
Starting point is 01:46:10 You didn't get them pussy in Africa? F-I-F. I'm never coming to go on to Africa. The F-I-F. I never bring the F-I-A-F-A-L. I'm good. Yeah, I got it. Banner, you got a loose enough.

Starting point is 01:46:34 In your life. Come on, David, man. Loops and up. The people, listen, the best thing in the life is that, you know, it's Tal-Lie-Qa-Ca-Lie, like, again, I told you,
Starting point is 01:46:44 he sat right in there. And I just, you know, I know how cool you are. Yeah. I know how cool Tau-E-Qa-Qa-Qa-li is. And that's the best thing you drink camps could do is just show
Starting point is 01:46:52 how cool you motherfuckers are. Because sometimes, to certain hip, I don't know, we've got to stop Tile-Qa-Ca-Li from texting these fans on Twitter. He's what I'm talking about him. don't go to sleep, dog.
Starting point is 01:47:04 I'm wake up in 4 o'clock in the morning, dog. I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning this motherfucker fucking still answer questions. He bargains these motherfuckers, yo. But Ben, we got even if we ain't talking about your life right now, we're talking about your past life. Got a lot of
Starting point is 01:47:20 pussy in life, right? Talk about it. Let me tell you something, Lori. Back in the past life. And no harm or at all. I need you to reset yourself and close your eyes. Close your eyes for a second. Oh, he's doing it.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Turn around. Turn around towards me. No, he turned the wrong way. Just stop. Stop, not open your eyes. Are you dabbing? Are you dabbing? I didn't.
Starting point is 01:47:45 Even when I was broke, I ain't never had no problem with no pussy. Let's make some noise for him. When I was at, my broke is, bro. But I'm just being honest with you, man. I had a great time in life. But I was super focused, bro. Like, I gotta be honest, you think about this. I was acting, I was rapping, I was an activist.
Starting point is 01:48:11 Like, dude, nobody thought about the 10 years in my career, bro. I went straight from, like, think about it. When I wasn't rapping, I was producing T.I. Wayne. What's the guy that produced Michael Jackson? Oh, Quincy Jones, yeah. Let's remember Quincy Jones. Maroon 5. So like, bro, like, the thing is
Starting point is 01:48:38 is what people don't understand. A lot of these rappers get in the rap to get pussy, because they never got pussy before. Pussy and drugs and shit. I'm going to open up. Nobody ever, I don't think I ever talked about this. I started fucking when I was six. I'm being honest with you.
Starting point is 01:48:54 Start smoking weed. Who was asked did you? Start smoking. You started smoking weed when I was eight. I started smoking weed when I was eight. So it was like, by the. time I got older, the shit didn't mean nothing to me. Like, like pussy don't move me. Like, drugs don't move me. Like, opportunity moves me. And if you get the opportunity, the pussy and
Starting point is 01:49:15 the drugs and whatever else the fuck, it's gonna come. And that ain't no pimping shit. That's law. That's a universal law. God damn it. I just feel like I got pop my collar. Put my collar. Put the other one. Put the other one. He goes, this is your job. Pop my collar. Like, like, like, I don't understand rappers getting in the game to get pussy. Like, that's lame. If you got to find something else to get pussy, like, you are another kind of dude. Like, when I was the broke is I got pussy.
Starting point is 01:49:49 Pussy ain't a problem to me. It ain't never been. I've been an extract. Let me tell you, I'm a melanated fucking phenomenon. Let's be clear about that. You just said to a bra she dropping the panties right. Actually, what you got to understand? If I'm around the panics, I'm around the panics, I'm.
Starting point is 01:50:05 already dropped. Don't worry about that. That's good. But the thing is that don't control me. Like that kind of shit don't matter to me. That ain't, that's when I was in high school. All these motherfuckers missed the mark. Like, dude, I want to go down in history. A man told me it's not what people think of you now. It's what they think of you 800 years from now. Like, like, they're going to say Biggie Smalls was a white boy. They might, but they're going to say David Brown. They don't. They don't. I said David Madam was a rich motherfucker. You slipped that in, Danz. You heard me. But now, let's just keep it real.
Starting point is 01:50:44 I enjoy looking at you guys' beards. I had it first. I had it first. What are y'all trying to represent? Wisdom? No, dad. He's talking about our white beards. I'm talking about y'all too.
Starting point is 01:51:00 Oh, good. The white beard. Is this wisdom that we represent? I don't want to die my shit. Because I know you could die I think I wanted to be the first black man that stood up until
Starting point is 01:51:14 you know to show the youth that it's cool to be an elder like I earn mine And like I just got tired of man From stress or wisdom Both Both both I just got tired of fucking cosmetic shit Like
Starting point is 01:51:29 So you was dying at one point? Yeah my shit been great Let's be real My shit been great since I was 27. Get the fuck out of that. Like, yeah. Now I'm seeing your shit on the side.
Starting point is 01:51:39 A little bit. A little bit. But I'm extravagant, though. Yeah, I'm extravagant. But I want, I want kids to know that it's okay to grow up because in African culture, the fucking elders are the motherfuckers that's revered. And I'm going to be real. And native culture as well.
Starting point is 01:51:55 The youth are the movement. The youth are the feet. The youth are the feet. The elders are the brain. Chalo. In American culture. we don't even fucking respect the fucking elders. And I trip on young rappers
Starting point is 01:52:10 because one thing you can't, and I'm saying this word only because of the ignorance. Nigel, the one thing you can't stop or the two things you can't stop is getting old and dying. So why the fuck are you going to stop getting old?
Starting point is 01:52:28 Like you need to be prepared for that shit because you keep saying young, young, bitch you got 10 years. And you are rap Gray is okay My nigga hair Got an A RRR P car Just in case you ain't know
Starting point is 01:52:42 Show me your chest hair He dies He dies his chest hair Just show me your chest hair Please look look Oh shit Look look look Gray is okay
Starting point is 01:52:53 That a nigga This is awesome Hey brother This is awesome Who would ever thought Right Dazz man Can I ask
Starting point is 01:53:04 Can you ask that as a question? Yes, please. Let me ask you a question. Bro, like, if there was one thing, because I know what it would be, if there's one thing you could tell a youth that's popping, like right now, he just got his fucking deal, he's popping, he's happy,
Starting point is 01:53:21 there's one thing that you could tell him. One mistake that you made, what would it be? Just observe. Don't talk, just listen. Jodacy. Boom. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:36 But, yeah, just observe, man. You know what I'm saying? I watch everybody else mistakes to know what I need to do or not to do. That's why I'm still here, you know what I'm saying? Right. And so I try to advise everybody
Starting point is 01:53:48 the same thing, you know what I'm saying? Count your money, watch everything, you know, what are you going to have in the end? You know what I'm saying? What are you doing with that rap money? As a producer, though. Like... I like the producer and producer talk.
Starting point is 01:54:00 Let's keep it going. What is that thing, like, that you think that's separate raise dads from everybody else. I mean, you know, just being ambitious. You know, always wanting to go towards. Bistice is the fighter. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:54:15 You know, just getting to the point in time, you know what I'm saying? You don't need a bush and, you know what I'm saying? Somebody gonna get knocked out of this. Yeah, yeah. Right, right. So hey, you know, it's always good vibe and always work with people.
Starting point is 01:54:30 Like when you come in the room, you already feel a vibe. Right. Something different, you know what I'm saying? seeing your spirit and let you know what's going on. I tell people all the time, people try to come in the studio and see what I do. I always tell them it's soul music.
Starting point is 01:54:42 There is no algorithm for what I do. You know what the greatest shit for me about producers is y'all always the smartest nigger in the room. I don't know if smart but vibey. What I mean is any person
Starting point is 01:55:00 that produces it's like seeing a canvas. And y'all can see the canvas before the canvas is painted. A artist, we actually need to see the outline. You got to give us the outline, not color in between. I'm a kid a garter, nigger. That's the way I think about it.
Starting point is 01:55:23 You give me the outline, motherfucker. No way they know this. These do they have. They're mathematicians, man. So, like, you know, Hazardis is a producer. You know, all you brothers that's producers right here. It's like, your verse on the firm was my favorite. All of our favorite.
