You guys have always been asking Brad to sit in on the pod. Yes. I thought, uh, I thought it would be good to have you on the game too. Because you love, you love like the rap shit too, right? Street violence. Yeah. I'm big into street violence. Big into street violence. No, I'm kidding. What does street violence have to do with the game? No, I'm just saying because like he came, you know, he's, they say. Do you do some research for this one? What? You do some research for this one? No, no, dude. No.
Starting point is 00:00:35 You sent me questions? Didn't read them. No, I didn't read any of them. They're probably trashed from Jacob. Are you going to UFC this weekend? I don't think so. You are? I thought you were.

Starting point is 00:01:05 Like, how do you know that, though? No, there's one for sure because he rapped about her. I'm going to ask if it's like he actually got the kill. I'm going to ask. I don't know. Black China? No, no. Is she black?
Starting point is 00:01:17 No. Vigara. She's Latina. But how do you know that he? Oh, because he rapped about it? Yes, yes. And I dated her for like a year and a half, two years. Who do you think lays the better wood?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Listen, buddy. You think so? You think you out pump the game? That's what I heard. Whoa. No fucking chance. Well, hold on. I can't even tell you guys this because this is going, I can't literally off camera,
Starting point is 00:01:38 I can't even tell you guys this. It's actually kind of embarrassing. I can't, I can't even tell you. What? There's this of much. You're going to trip out when I tell you this. What is it, bro? I can't tell you on camera.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Like, this is like, I can't even tell this. I can't even stitch on myself on this. With this trick? Yes. Yes. All right. Well, then let's talk about it later. I go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:59 We'll have to talk about it. I'm sorry, yeah. This one's too deep. So just one chick, or is there multiple? There's multiple. I feel like the game's fucking ran through L.A. Yeah, I mean, I think so. I don't want to talk to that.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I'm going to ask him about this stuff. The guy's a fucking legend. Like, he's probably fucking pulled from here many times, from Hyde. Easily, what? Yeah. I mean, of course. Yeah. The game's just like a fucking legend, too, right?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Oh, yeah. I mean, he's, he's been in it. He's been in it for a very, very long time. So are you going to, I thought you were going to UFC this weekend. Apparently, I didn't know. I haven't talked to Steve about it. Dude, Sean's fighting. I have to go.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Sugar's fighting. Yeah. Who do you got to be the guy doesn't go for that? Oh, Sugar's definitely winning. What'd you say? Nothing. Go ahead. What?
Starting point is 00:02:38 I didn't say anything. Just go ahead. Were you talking shit about me? No, I wasn't. Go ahead. What did he say? You would be the guy to show up to that one. No, not show up, but it's okay.
Starting point is 00:02:45 No, I'm definitely showing up that. No, sugar's for sure winning. Like, I have no doubt that he's winning. I did steak 50K parlay, sugar and Izzy. Oh, you're going to win both those, for sure. I hope. both individually don't have good odds but together it was like 1.75x so i locked that in right before i left you're winning both those easily well it's a parley
Starting point is 00:03:06 yeah damn bro yeah i was we spent too much time in mexico how was that how is the gambling when you're in mexico at stake it's listen it's fun gambling on steak with steve wow fuck that you get so stressed out okay for me it's different because like we have different bank rules you know what i'm saying steve has different bankroll i i have to play way more sweaty. Like I had like way more conservative. And it kind of sucks a little bit, but, you know. What, what were you betting?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Like, what, what spins? If we're talking about slots, like, I don't know, 50 to 100 maybe. 50 to 100? $50. $50 spins, bro? You got to up that shit. No, you were not. What the fuck.
Starting point is 00:03:45 You got to fucking up that shit. You know, but it's like, you got to hit a 20K. No, but his, he reacts the same way as if you lost 50K. Because he's like, loves money and he's so cheap. But if you lose 50K, this asshole. The sassel loses $50. I lose $75. I'm like, God damn it's terrible to be around, bro. But have you hit a big slot yet?
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah, well, in comparison, I did. I got a... What did I get? Remember where I hit before we left? Like 6-7K, which was big for me. 6-7? 6-7K, because I don't, yeah, he's dogging me. No, but hold on, we don't bet the same, though.
Starting point is 00:04:19 We don't bet the same, though. But you got to know what it's like to hit like an 100K spin. I have in the past. I have in the past. I have in the past. I don't bet super big. I'm more conservative. Who the fuck is watching you bet 50 bucks, bro?
Starting point is 00:04:31 Bro, when we were in Canada, we went to like the small town, London, Ontario, and we were tasting Happy Dad. And then after we went out for a few drinks, we went to a bar, open the laptop, fruit party first spin. Oh. 10K, like first spin, 10K. Live at the bar. 160K. Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:04:47 It was crazy, bro. It was crazy. It was insane, bro. Was it on stream? It was just not even on stream, but we had a video of it. It took a video. Wow. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:56 those are the best moments man fuck what else did you guys do out there anything Mexico you and Steve you just stream or hit the gym it's like we go there it's like stream

Starting point is 00:05:18 you gotta bring birds we've had some hooky nights no this is the interesting part there's like it feels like in that area it's like almost everyone who lives there is like, it's like cartel. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So all the girls are super bad. But you're like... But you don't want to fuck them. Exactly. You're like, maybe I don't approach this one. Why? Because then there's somebody will come after you?
Starting point is 00:05:37 I don't know. Dude, what the fuck? I'm not from Mexico like that. I'm not trying to fuck with them. Dude, he's kind of like bullshit. When we used to go there... No, he's lying. We had a squad of four hookies
Starting point is 00:05:45 and you know this too, Jacob. We had a squad of four hookies that we would hang out with every single time. They were like in our group, bro. That was Cabo, though. It was Cabo. That was Cabo, though. Oh, it was?
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yes. Oh. We're Eskimo bros from that. No, we're not. Yes, we are. I got to tell the story about you, thinking you were fucking Johnny Sins over there. I was. I don't imagine a hooker goes from fucking Stine to Brad or Brad to Stiney?
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah, fucking huge upgrade when they come to see. Yeah, huge fucking never happened. Yo, wait. There was a time when I got, we had three hookies there. No, it was four. Four. You had four. Four there.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Steve bailed. Who else bailed? Jacob's not like into that. I don't know what his deal is. I went to sleep. He's in a Gabe or some shit, I don't know, but... He's in a gay for sure. And then he goes to sleep, so I had to hang out with three of them.
Starting point is 00:06:30 This is a true, hold on. This is a true story, honest to God. I had to please all three of them at one time. Yeah, I did, bro. Yeah, I did. He smashed three hookies. No, he's lying down. Two at once.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Two at once. And then Jacob, like, had a heart-to-heart with one on the balcony. And it was like, dude, the whole... No, this is true. Jacob had to pull an audible for Stiney and take the girl to the outside to, like, distract her, I guess. Jacob's not into that, so he's like, I don't want to do it. Stiney did handle two. I don't know how well he handled two, but I know.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I don't think so. They were fired up, bro. It was probably like, Steinie's the type of guy that has to put in work, though. Like, he puts in work in the bedroom. Yeah, like he tells me, no. No, he's not a lazy guy in the bedroom. Oh, he definitely, definitely not.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Like, he can't be, right? No. Like, Brad, you could be kind of lazy. Like, you know what I can Brad be lazy? Like, you got to, you got to put in work. I can kind of go like. Me too. I got to put in work too.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Like, I can't just fuck around in there. Like, you got to put on. work. Yeah. You don't want to not, like, not put in work and not have a good session. Yeah. I guess I don't think that did. I can tell you, like, the people at the hotel were stoked for me.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Everybody knew about it. No, no. No one knew about this. No one else knew about this but us. Whatever. No one at the hotel was like, yeah, it's tiny. That's the difference between the Canada trips and the Mexico trips. Bro, oh, you got to come to Mexico.
Starting point is 00:07:41 You hang out with like normal people, regular people. In Mexico, you got to complete degenerate. Yeah. We just went, we just went crazy, bro. Yeah, it was fucking nuts, bro. Yeah, you would have had a great time. What's the best part in Canada of? though. I mean, Kenna's dope, though,
Starting point is 00:07:53 regardless. Toronto's, though, I think next time we're going to do Vancouver. I've never been to Vancouver. Toronto has really beautiful girls in like a great night scene, surprisingly. Isn't Toronto? Toronto's kind of like L.A. vibes? You came once. Yeah, but is it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Not really. No, not really. New York vibes. But people are nicer, though. Yeah, people are nicer there, but they're fucking... Not like L.A. Not that bright. Not that kind of mean.
Starting point is 00:08:15 No, yeah. In L.A., yeah, they're way nicer in Canada, bro. Yeah. Way nicer. I stole one of Stine's birds in in Toronto, this trip. Of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:24 What do you mean? I mean, it's a... I don't want to talk about that. Let's talk about it. All right, fine. Tell your fucking version. No, I, no, actually, I think, I don't know what you did. I think you just made out with her.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Okay. This was my, this was my second kill of the night. Well, maybe I just made out with her. I already took down a bird. And then I was like, you know when you just want that round two? Like, you're just on fire? Yeah. And the bird just walks up to you.
Starting point is 00:08:44 But I asked, I think Steinie had already made out with her. Yeah. So I asked him, like, did you already like, did you smash her? And he's like, nah. He's like, you got to do it and shit. I was like, all right. So then I just took her down. But Stani had tried previously.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And she said she doesn't fuck on the first night. Okay. Yeah, that's the most common. That's like the most classic thing. She told me, though. She blew me. No, she blew you. No, she did not.
Starting point is 00:09:04 That's a liar. Yeah, I do. You were trying to go there. That was my whole plan. I'm not going to bang her because then Kyle's going to go for her. Now, no, okay. Now you got to answer a question. You just ran yourself into this.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Do you honestly think our girl's going to suck your dick and not fuck you? No, I wanted that. because then I knew Kyle was going to go for her and it'd be like a fleck. You're lying. He already admitted that he's lying. I am lying. Yeah. It's whatever though.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Shit happens. Why do you think it didn't work out for you? Why do you think it didn't work out for you? I don't know, bro. So I swear these chicks like come there on a mission and they're like, yeah, I want to take down the top dog. And like she had. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Yeah. But I think she like the whole time knew that at the end of the night she was trying to fuck Kyle. Yeah. Signing wheels, though. Steining wheels like an animal. Yeah. No, I know. I've seen them.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Yeah. I've seen him. Yeah. So it was still a successful night for me, just not with her. Oh, was it? I think you're lying about the rest of that part. Ask Gabe. Gabe couldn't sleep that night.
Starting point is 00:09:56 You and Gabe, that's not count. No, no, not like that. You couldn't sleep well after? No, I don't mean with Gabe. Yo, you walked into that, buddy. No, bro. Bro, my chick was going crazy. Please leave that in.
Starting point is 00:10:05 That's whatever. No. Yeah, it was rough. It sounded like the fucking time of her life, bro. So yeah. Time of her life? It was a fun ass trip. Describe this.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Not. Describe it. I'm done talking about this show. You have some ASMR. No, it was a fun ass trip. Fun trip. We'd like to have you on the next one. I'd love to be there.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Brad's a great guy to have around, bro, because he never drinks too much. Yeah. So he's always very locked in. And Brad likes to wheel. He likes to wheel, but he's also like... I love how Brad likes to wheel. He looks out for everybody. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's the best... One of your best qualities is like... But he disappears quick, though, too. Like at the send? Yeah, because he just points at the hottest chicken. Like, bad just gets in, grabs a bird dips. Gone. You point at the hottest chick, and then she's like, fuck, what's this guy going to do to me if I don't fuck him.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah. You're like pissed off, like pointing. Yeah. No, that's not true, bro. No, it's not. You're a good dude. I do really look out, though, for the boys for sure. You do, 100%.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I've always done that. There's been times when I'm like, yo, what the fuck's our security doing? And Brad's doing the job. And I'm like, damn, this is lit. Yeah. Like going out in Miami with Brad's a fucking nice, nice thing to have. Yeah, that's fun. I love it, man.
Starting point is 00:11:09 We got to run Vegas big this weekend then. Oh, bro, I can't even drink. You know Sugar's going to want to ascend, too, if he wins. When he wins. Yeah, he is. He's got a club thing after that resort world. I'm down. Same place we went last time.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Remember that last time? That was so fun, bro. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Zook. Yeah. Yeah. Bro, I, I, do you guys think Vegas has changed over the years? Yeah, it's not as fun as it used to be, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Why? There's never that many girls there. That's what we were talking about. There's never a lot of birds in Vegas. It's a common misconception. I will say. I think it's because of place dudes think like, oh, this is where the girls are going to be. So so many dudes go there is just a bunch of dudes.
Starting point is 00:11:45 It's just a bunch of dudes. It's a hook. Looker Town, if anything. I think that if you're going to catch a squad of girls, it's going to be like a bachelorette party. You got to get lucky, yeah, you got to get lucky. Like Miami, you know, like, Gary. There's bird there at all the time.
Starting point is 00:11:58 There's always chicks in Miami. But Vegas is in New York. It's hit or miss. Right? I think. But then again, it is summer now. You don't know how it's going to be. I know pool party season.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Just because of the pool parties? Yeah, I feel like a lot of people go for that. Man, dude, I have some funny pool party stories. Wait, what do you think has changed? changed then. COVID obviously took a hit on it a little bit, right? I think COVID affected just in general, like people going to events. You like L.A.
Starting point is 00:12:24 now or? Do I like L.A.? L.A. fucking sucks now, bro. I mean, overall. It's a shithole, bro. Yeah. I mean, we're really talking about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Do I really like L.A.? Not so much, man. Sit in for a second. Yeah, Gabe, come in for a second. It really made sense, though, when you were like, oh, shit. You have him really trying to make a difference, though. He really wants to. Dude, we hit McDonald's last night.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Bro, I want you. So what happened is we brought up a trainer this last tour that we did. Okay. It was like for three weeks, I think, two weeks. That helps a lot. The guy was a fucking, I couldn't eat shit because he was, I was fucking grabbing that shit. Is he in shape? Not really.
Starting point is 00:13:00 He's a good guy. He's a good guy. You try to. He puts us through good workouts. Yeah. But I, for, for, Coke for me, like Coca-Cola is for me, it's hard to cut it off. And I can say I've been a master with no Coca-Cola. Why is it so hard to cut that off, though?
Starting point is 00:13:14 I don't know. Dude, people get a Brazilian thing. No, he loves his sodas, his frappuccinos. Oh, yeah. Like Starbucks, he's getting the whipped. Bops a lot. Yeah, you can't get those.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And, dude, you were hitting a two liter from the bottle. Huh? You were drinking a two liter from the bottle. Of what? I don't know, but soda in Toronto. No, that's a different soda. That's a Brazilian soda is different. But Coca-Cola, I don't drink.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I was not doing that in many ways. But Coca-Cola has been, I've been no Coca-Cola for a month. And we've been eating really. No, that's a big. That's a big thing. Give it up for Gabe, dude. That's what I like to hear. That would be a big thing from me. And then, I don't know, Kyle just love eating healthy and this guy too.
Starting point is 00:13:53 This guy doesn't eat a lot. I love eating bad. Yeah, he does. He likes his mac and cheese and stuff. He's addicted to mac and cheese. You got to get his back, though, man. You don't like his guy. What about getting in active?
Starting point is 00:14:05 What do you mean? Like, what about hitting the bike? For me, it's really hard. It's like, for someone of his, like, size, he's really good in the gym. Like, he's not a pussy. When I do, yes, but like... Like, he can, like, bench a plate and shit. Really?
Starting point is 00:14:18 I hate going to fucking do. He can do, like, hit type shit, too. No, but Kai was not... The ropes. Guy was not fucking holding in. Like, shit that you think he wouldn't be able to do. That's why I'm like, this guy can lose weight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:28 He's not a pussy in the gym, too. Yeah. But the eating, obviously. The eating is like... He hasn't been keeping up with the gym, too. Yeah, I hate a fucking gym. Just go to the gym for a month, bro. My routine sometimes, like, times are crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I always put the excuse on that. I know it should not be excused. Yeah. excuse, but like I have 15, 20 people every day to manage kind of when we're moving the road. And every time it's something different. Oh, we got to do this. We've got to pick it up this. And it's like, I don't want
Starting point is 00:14:51 to... What do you weigh right now? You know? Before not you comment on that. We should make like a bet right now. Yeah. You should just make a bet. You should just make a mandatory that it has to work out. Buy it a Peloton. I'm like, right now, I'm in this new medicine as well that I'm taking it for... Let's make it. Let's make a
Starting point is 00:15:08 25K transfer on steak bet. I'll send you to it. 25k on steak. 25,000. What do you weigh? What's a good amount of pounds to lose in two bucks? I will send you 25K on steak. What do you weigh? I do right now 130 kilos.
Starting point is 00:15:24 No kilo bullshit. How many pounds do you should lose 15, 20 pounds in two months? 10 pounds. You probably got to do an official way. I don't know how much I weigh way to be honest. You got to start smoking like cigarettes. What do you weigh in kilos? What do you weigh in kilos?
Starting point is 00:15:36 I got it. I don't know. I don't remember. I believe it's 130, but I think it's less than that. 130? Yeah, there's a lot. What's reasonable to lose in, like, what, should it be too much? You weigh 286?
Starting point is 00:15:48 No, you don't wait 26, though. Yeah. No. He's over, I think, no? You said you were three. Huh? How many, how much weight for him to lose? You played offensive line at Oregon, I thought, for two years.
Starting point is 00:15:58 It's a good amount of money. Oh, yeah. 20 pounds? 20 pounds in 60 days? 20 pounds. Is that doable? I think there needs to be more than that. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:16:10 No, no, no. Oh, no, it's got to be. big transformation. Yeah, but we also want it to be healthy. You don't have to be unrealistic where it's like you get there and then you go right back because you went too far, too fast, you know? I think that there should be discipline though when he sneaks because he's going to sneak.
Starting point is 00:16:22 No, that's the thing. That's what the 25-K bet. It's up to him. Like, you want the money. Let's do 20. I help a lot, actually. 25 pounds for 25K.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Steak transfer. 60 days. 60 days. 25 for 25? Yeah. I think it's doable, no? Yeah. But is 25 going to keep a minute or is he going to be like, all right, I lost 25 and
Starting point is 00:16:40 Now I'm like fucking... Yeah, then he's going to go on an Oreo beans. Well, $25,000 would not make you lose 25 pounds. Yeah, 25 grand. Jacob, is 25 enough? Well, it's not enough overall, but... How much money total is you getting? 25K.
Starting point is 00:16:51 It's not about the money as well. I know. You got to lose like 30. No, no, but that's unrealistic. I can't do that in 60 days. You can't? Jacob, I'm not fucking going to... I'm not going to brush gyms every day.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Like, like you guys go three times a day. I'm not doing that. No, it's not just stop eating. It's about... You got to dial in, but? But this is the thing. It's like, it's more about like a lifestyle change. Like, for you to really keep it off.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah, can you lose that weight? For sure. But are you going to keep that weight off if you're like drastically getting there by not eating anything? No, I think when I lose weight, I want to keep that like, man. You want to keep it off? Skinny doubt. What about the fucking?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Gabe lost 25 pounds. What was that guy's named Jared? Hugely noticed. Okay. So it would be enough to be like, yeah, he lost 25 pounds. Yeah, you see in his face. I need my feet like, bro. You'd see it in his face.
Starting point is 00:17:32 All right. Let's do 25 for 25. 60 days. 25 bands, Gabe. Let's go. Oh, run that, run that. Yeah. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Because you would, your face was like, it's not. Get started today, bro. I'll send it to your steak account next time we're in Canada. Okay. You just got to eat healthy. That's easy money. You just got to do it. Eat healthy and ride the bike.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Fuck. Did you do, do 25, 30 minutes every day? You'd be great. Stop being sugar. You got to cut out sugar. What's the end date? You're doing that on this day today? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:02 August 27th. Yeah. Well, it's in seven? Yeah. By the way, there's absolutely. No, no sexual activity between me and gay people. I don't know if that's true. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:18:11 You had to say that. It's true. Yesterday, the funny thing is we were on the plane coming from New York and we got lay flats yesterday. This guy texting, hey, it feels pretty empty back here. Do you want to come and watch Rattatooey together? I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I didn't want to share my layflap, but I'm watching Rattitooey. I'm still concerned with why you felt like you had to say there's nothing going on between you.
Starting point is 00:18:32 He needs to say that. Because no one brought that up. Just saying. People fucking DM me that. And it's not, there's nothing going on. I'm just saying, you sound a little defensive. That's all. It's a little defensive.
Starting point is 00:18:40 One of you guys drunk is he has to be hensy. I don't want that, though. Like, I avoid the max, but. What the fuck, bro. He's getting at the point that I got to tell he's tired. You got to stop. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Stop to let you. You know, like, yeah, I get you. This is funny. He does that to me too. Look at him. It's so tiny. Yeah, it's funny. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Tiny guy, like, for sure, it's not, is not that great. I prefer to get to Jacob at this point. Oh, God. What? That'll be the best. This guy is not. Yeah, you're not going Jacob. Well, I've got to try my shot sometimes.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah, you shot your shot for sure. Maybe if you lose 25. Yeah, then you might talk, Jacob. If you lose 35 on time. Oh, that's a better than money. That's bigger than the money, should be honest. No, no, no, no. You have to give him a peck feel too.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Bicep feel and a peck feel. You got to kiss him on the cheek. Oh, that can do it right now, the chick of the chick. No, let him feel the bicep one time. Let him rub. Let him rub his hands on your abs. Another incentive. Okay, wait.
Starting point is 00:19:38 So now it's, now it's 25K, a peck flex with a feel from Jacob and a bicep feel. Damn. That's pretty much like 35K. All right. And honestly, man, if you get there, it's just going to be good for you anyways. I know. For real. You're going to wheel more.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Game in the house. This is legendary. It's good. What's up, bro? Where'd you come from this morning? Calabasis. Calabasis. It's where all the rich rappers live.
Starting point is 00:20:02 So what rich rappers live? Except Snoop. Snoop lives like, he has own little. That's where you live? It's life of pie, huh? You stay in Calabasas? Yeah. Oh shit, those shades are pretty lit.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, I stay on the gangster side, though. You see that? Okay. The gangster side of Calabasas? Yeah, I got my own side. Okay. Who else is on that side? Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:20:17 What side is that? That's the, uh, Kevin Hart side. Okay. What's the soft side of Calabassas? Is that like, Kardashians and shit? That's on the other side. That's what like, I don't know if it's soft or just ain't the gangster side. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:30 That's over there, the Kardashians stay over there. Yeah, he's got his house over there. Drake's over there. So it's just the softer side. That's the softer side. What's in the ghetto of Calabasas? Did they have less like oat milk at the Starbucks's? We ain't got like, no, you know what?
Starting point is 00:20:47 Our Starbucks runs out of shit. You know what I see? You're walking there. They'd be like, yeah, we don't have this. And you'd be like, okay, well, let me get that. They'd be like, nah, we don't got that either. You know what I'm saying? They're running out of the cake pops and shit in the ghetto.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Everything, man. Even the little stir sticks and stuff? stuff they miss those and now you gotta do it with your finger okay cool on our side who else is on that side was you and kevin will smith yeah i knew that was gonna fuck you fuck and we know he's in the ghetto is that an exclusive side can i can we get in there yeah you can get in there because we don't have fucking security on our side fuck yeah that's that's the side i prefer yeah do you see like will smith just like walk around like does he walk his dog or anything like uh nah it's kind of like uh we stay on like a highway so like well i know sidewalks on our side of course because our side is
Starting point is 00:21:30 fucked up you know what I'm saying so you can't just walk your dog might get hit by like an 18 wheel or something who else you see just around the neighborhood um you know what we got we got a lot more black people on our side yeah a couple side pieces we affordable housing you know what I'm saying you know how like on their side they got the security to gate all them 20 million dollars on our side you can get in for like five million get you something nice that's dope yeah fuck yeah but uh you still live in compton right yeah what's what's the difference? Like, how does that, how has that been like, I mean, you grew up in Compton and now you're living in fucking the ghetto part of Calabasasas, but still caught
Starting point is 00:22:07 Calabas. It's kind of crazy because I got like this weird OCD about myself. So even when I was in Compton, I still was like, like, my yard was clean, like my house was clean. Like, you know, my parents were like real like OCD and like hella like whip your ass if you didn't. So like outside of like the gunshots and dead bodies and shit, like it's, I mean, it's pretty much same it's crazy so growing growing up in compton how right away were you i guess involved in what was going on in the street life or is it just something that like you found yourself getting into nah so what i mean in compton is sort of like uh it's like a gang bang family tree almost because like my parents were both gang members so it's like it's only um you know it's only a matter
Starting point is 00:22:53 of time before your child kind of like you know dives into that lifestyle too and i mean when you when you grow up in like, you know, cities like Compton or, you know, maybe like south side of Chicago or Brooklyn, New York or wherever, like in these ghettos, like, it's just, as soon as you open your, as soon as you open the front door, it is what it is, right? Like you, your homies are like, even when you're a kindergarten, like, you know, you just like, you see so much. Like, when I was five years old, bro, I was walking for like blocks to the school bus as a five-year-old. But, like, I wouldn't let my five-year-old walk through the mall alone these days. It's just, I don't know. It's just crazy, man. You grow up in the hood.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It's just, you just become immune to, like, all the shit that you see. Like, I've seen dead bodies and thought nothing other. Just kept walking. At what age did you see, like, your first dead body? Maybe, like, seven or something. What? Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Like, where, how did that go down? It was just a drive-by shooting. Just a drive-by shooting. Somebody got a hit. And then they were just laid out and we were outside playing. And, you know, of course, people always, like, you know, some people run left away and other, you know, nosy-ass people, like, come tour. towards the, you know, whatever happened. So we was, me and my homies outside playing, I mean, it wasn't homies, we were seven.
Starting point is 00:24:04 But yeah, we were like throwing a football on the street, which is crazy. Because when you think about playing like football in the street with cars parked on both sides, the wildest shit, right? Because we were like running in the shit all the time. But yeah, we just walked down there, man, and just like, oh, so and so got shot. And it would just be over like that. The craziest one I've ever seen is probably I've seen two Spanish dudes get shot in a, in a Buick Regal, two bullet holes through the back window, both dead, and one of them's
Starting point is 00:24:33 eyeball was stuck in the, you remember how the old locks used to be, you kind of pull them up, his eye was, like, stuck in that. And I can remember just wanting to, like, lift his head up, like, out of that because it was kind of like a fucked up way to kind of, for people to see you, you know? I remember feeling like real bad about that. But yeah, man, I've seen like tons of murders and shit. Doesn't seeing that shit make you want to get out of there? You know what it is? You don't think that that's a, that that is a, a, that is a, a, a possibility. You don't think that's a possibility.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Getting out is not a possibility. You don't think about that. You just think like, this is my shit and I'm probably going to be here forever. And like, once you get older and you come into your teens, you kind of think like, I'm probably going to die here. But you're okay with that, right?
Starting point is 00:25:12 Because you've been conditioned to be this way since basically you were born. So what would you say to a kid right now that's in a similar situation that you were in to help him see that situation differently than feeling like, I'm just conditioned to be here and I'm going to be here, I'm going to die here.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I have to stay here. Would you tell a kid like that? I mean, I don't even think a kid these days really needs me to tell him that. I think that once you open your phone on Instagram, you can see a plethora of ways to make it out the hood or things that you can do. So if we have phones back in the day and Instagram and all these apps, I mean, we could kind of see. Like, you can log on Instagram and on your Explorer page, like, a fucking vacation might pop up.
Starting point is 00:25:51 You know what I'm saying? Or somewhere like the Maldives, you might see like a baddie walking in Maldives. And you might, like, if I saw that as a kid. kid, I'd be like, damn, I want to go there. Then I would have aspirations and dreams and, you know, that were like sort of in line with like that type of lifestyle. But back in the day, we didn't have shit, but like maybe like six channels, fucking channel two, four, five, seven, 11, and 13. And if you didn't have cable, then you really didn't have shit. And half of the time, like, those channels were like blurry as shit or like staticy and like, or someone was watching the
Starting point is 00:26:22 TV and you couldn't watch shit. So you only knew what was in there. Exactly. Well, there's always been it seems like there's been two ways to make it out it's sports or music for the most part right yeah but when you're when you're when you're in these ghettos right and let's say you have to wait till your birthday to get a pair of jordan's and i mean it could be fucking march my birthday's in november so in march if jordan's came out in march right and i told my mom i want to submit a pair of jordan she was like okay i get them for your birthday and you be excited about that You'd be like, okay, cool, I'm getting those Jordans for my fucking birthday. Like, did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:26:58 My mom said she was getting me Jordans for my birthday. And so we would just fucking wait. But it's like, like, these days, man, like, nobody has to, like, nobody has to wait. Like, people need the shit right now. People are lining up for Jay's right now. It's just like, from back then to now, it's just totally different. I mean, I think that there was just, like, you didn't think you could be Michael Jordan. You were just a fan of Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:27:22 It was like when. So I'm sorry. So what made you feel like then, if there was no way out? What made you feel like you had a way out? Like, how did you start to develop? I didn't think I had a way out until like the last fucking minute. There was one, there was a defining moment in like my hood ship that sort of made me who I am. And I've told this story before and I'll tell it again.
Starting point is 00:27:43 It was, I was watching 106 in Park and I saw, you familiar with that? Yeah, absolutely. It was like, yeah, on BT. It was like AJ Free. They were interview rappers on BT. And Shine was on there, the rapper Shine. You know, you signed a Puffy. And I remember looking at that, and I watched this shit all the time and never had this
Starting point is 00:27:58 thought before. But I looked at him, he was like ballhead. He had on like some Levi's and he had on like a Raiders crew neck and some Jordans. And I thought I was like, damn, like that could be me. That was how I was dressing back then. You know what I'm saying? Like baggy ass, Levi's and like either Raider or 49ers crew neck and like always had on some J's. So I was like, damn, I could fucking be a rapper too.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And so I was like, I tried. And I was trash at first, but I just really felt like, like, I could be a rapper. And so I really just dove into the shit and kept trying and kept trying. So I have a question. What made you feel like? Because I talked to a lot of super successful people, and they always say the same thing. They feel like there's something inside of them that they felt for a long time. Did you ever feel like there was more for you than before you had it, obviously?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Did you feel like there was something special for you? I never felt like that. I always felt like I was going to die gang-banging, and I was just ready. ready for that moment. And it's weird for me to say that because now at, you know, 42 years old, it's like I look back at that type of mindset and I kind of feel like, damn, that was kind of like idiotic and like sort of weird. But this is a trained, this is a trained psyche.
Starting point is 00:29:11 This is going through the minds of like young teenagers right now in the middle, you know, mid-city in the surrounding hoods around L.A., just that mindset. that before I got signed to Dr. Dre, I literally never really crossed the 10 freeway, ever. I had never been to Beverly Hill. Why is that? People don't just take a bus and, like, see what's outside ever? Number one, at the fucking corner, there's another gang.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Like, you literally are playing, like, life and death trying to, like, navigate through your own hood. Now, once you leave Compton, you are so fucking uncomfortable because now you're in, what, South Central? And then you're in Englewood and then you're in Culver City. And, like, how many hoods and how much? How many lights stop lights and how many times you're going to get asked where to fuck you from or how many niggas going to stop you and look in your car at the light and like everything, every little inch you take in L.A. is a fucking threat. So it's hard to like physically like travel.
Starting point is 00:30:03 It's hard to mentally even prepare your mind to take a fucking walk down the street. So you were like confined to like a small area of where you live. Without, without it being force fields. Yeah, you are in your mind because you just know better. And so you just don't. So how do you get out of it? it how did you get out of it um i got out of i got shot number one and then after that i was like well it's time to like kick this rap career and uh you know uh in a full you know like full gear and so um i just started i like got me a notepad and and i started listening to my the classic albums that i listened to them um and trying to learn um how like different rhyme patterns and
Starting point is 00:30:43 rhyme styles and so i used like j z naz pock and big as a as a base on how i wanted to to pattern my style and I really studied those, you know, those four albums, the ones that I did from those artists. And then I just, over like a course of like a month and a half, I became like amazing. Well, what about, what about the other guys that were coming out of Compton right then, like Ice Cube and all them? Because they were not too far before you, right? Nah, it was hella before me. Really? Yeah, they were way before. Ten years? Nah, longer than that. Like, I came out, what, in 2005? Like, they came on the, like, 1990? Are those guys not inspiration because they come out of the same hood as you?
Starting point is 00:31:22 They're definitely inspirations. All of them was, but more, for me, it was more of like a DJ Quick and a Mossberg. I'm not sure if you know Mossburg is. He got killed early, he had an early demise, but he was one of the dopest rappers out of Compton. And, of course, Quick was like right there. Quick was maybe 10 or some 12 years before me or something like that. But NWA was like way, like 15 some years. Got it.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Just because Dre, you said Dre signed you to Aftermath, right? Yeah. So how was that? Yeah, how did you guys originally meet? Yeah, we met through like first I was running around L.A. with D. Mack and K.D.R.G., these two crib niggas from L.A., but they, you know, they love my style. And at that time, I was passing my demos around. So they got one of my demos in love what they heard.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Before that, I was up in the bay running around with J.T. the Bigger and Fat Rat. And one of them gave my CD to Dre and he loved it. So we went to the studio and that was it. It was like literally simple as that. Drey was like, welcome the aftermath because he had already loved what he heard. So what? You just pulled up to the studio.
Starting point is 00:32:27 He was there. Yeah, everybody was there. Like everybody was there. 50 was there before like in the club drop. Like in the club wasn't even out. You'd never met any of those guys before. Ever. I met Snoop before like in passing and I rap for Snoop.
Starting point is 00:32:43 But how old were you at that point? Maybe like 22. Fuck. Yeah. So what was that like? walking in and seeing all those guys it was fucking crazy i tried to like act hard as fuck like i wasn't faze but in my like in the inside i was like super gassed i was like damn it's fucking busting rhymes and there's rakem and there's d12 and there's m and there's 50 like
Starting point is 00:33:02 they're all in the studio everybody's in the studio because they're working on uh get richard die trying that's fucking crazy is there like do these guys trying to intimidate you or are they like welcoming you nah everybody's kind of cool i'm not like yeah i can't be intimidated But it wasn't no pressure like that. It was just cool. You just named all the biggest guys. Yeah, it was like one big family, though. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:33:24 Like that's just how great. But even the first time you met them, you felt, you felt welcomed like that? It didn't feel like. I felt, well, I really kind of really got my real welcome from like Buster Rimes. And so I always like just salute him for just being a guy to just, it just opened his arms and took me right in and showed me the ropes. But yeah, it was always welcoming. It was the house that Draybilt, it was aftermath, so it really felt like a family. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:49 When did you meet Nipsey? I met Nipsey. I used to take, so because when I first got on, I bought a Range Rover, and I would always take the 105 freeway to Crenshaw, and I would get off on Crenshaw, and I would drive all the way to Wilshire, and then I would make a left, and I would go down Los Angeles, go to Melrose, and then I would start looking for bitches. Okay. That was just my route.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Like, I was just like, because, you know, like, back in the day, like, Like, Crenshaw was lit. Yeah. Like, you could always see a baddie on Crenshaw. Wait, sorry, say the route again? Nice. So I got to, I would take, I would take, I literally take Rose Cranes to the 110 freeway, right? Rose Cranes, that's Compton.
Starting point is 00:34:27 You should figure where the batties are. Yeah. Oh, the batties aren't there. It sounds like an important route. It's not popping there anymore. And so you get on the, you get on the 110 and like two, like exits is the 105 freeway. You take that towards L.A. So just stay in the right lane.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Don't even get to the left lane. Right lane. Yeah, stay in the right. The whole way. Literally. Literally. Right. And then it winds up, you know, one time, and then you end up on a 105 freeway heading towards LAX. Crenshaw is probably the third exit. You get off on the Shaw, and it's dangerous, by the way. You definitely need to, you know, need a strap. And I heard that we're about to be able to conceal in California soon.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Big news. Yeah, so you can take this route, but not now, but after Newsom, like, passes this law or something. But, yeah, so you get off on Crenshaw, and then from there, you're just, like, cruising, and I got stopped at a light, and, like, Nipsey was, like, selling incense or something. And that was the first time I ever met. Well, you was this? Shit, this might have been, like... Selling incense? Yeah, I don't know, like 2003 or something like that.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Was it fire incense? Wow. Was the incense fire? Yeah, they were fire. Did you buy it or no? You buy it from him? Yeah, I bought some. I always support everybody, man. And what's crazy is that I would always take this route,
Starting point is 00:35:37 but there was only twice I seen Nipsey. The second time I had a strap on my lap again. Because, again, I'm rolling through Crip neighborhoods. I'm rolling through blood neighborhoods. I had to, like, you know, I'm young, and I didn't go nowhere without my gun. But I got stopped at this light, and I was trying to get through the light, but there was a car in front of me that wouldn't let me go through. That didn't go through.
Starting point is 00:35:54 And I was like, fuck, I see, like, 10 or 12 crips. This ended up being Nipsey and Jay Stone and Rempa and a few of their other homies. It might have been Kabi and all 60s Crips, Nipsey's homies. This time, he had no incense. You know what I'm saying? This time he had like two like ponytails and it was more blue than, you know, before. And yeah, he had a CD. But I didn't see the CD.
Starting point is 00:36:23 So I grabbed my gun because I ain't know what, you know, I'm saying. They walk across the street like deep as fuck. And so I put my guy, I cocked my gun, and I had it on my lap. And then once he got close to the car, he put out CD, and I was just like, fuck, cool. And then, so he looked in the car and he was like, damn, so you really be riding like that? And I was like, negative's L.A. Do you still ride like that? I guess as much as you could say, right?
Starting point is 00:36:47 I mean, I got to protect myself. For sure, for sure, yeah. Well, one of the biggest things, too, is how much. Brad trying to get game and trouble? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seriously, don't worry about that. So, so sorry. Wait, how much did the baddies and the pussy change before the road?
Starting point is 00:36:59 and then once you got the rover. I mean, I always had like, I always had like baddies because I was like always like the popular guy in school or like the bully in some schools or like, you know, captain of basketball team. So, you know, you got baddies, but just in your area. But, uh, once- You see you were a bully? Yeah, you guys would get along. But no, I mean, this is a fucking asshole.
Starting point is 00:37:19 You know, I don't know. I don't really fuck with that bullshut. You know how it is being the big guy, man. Yeah. Man, like, but I would bully bullies. Yeah. Yeah. There's only, there's only one guy that I, like, I probably.
Starting point is 00:37:28 I probably had a tie, like a tie. We had a fight. And this guy was known for putting somebody's head into a, like a sewer and asking him if he saw the Ninja Turtle. So that was really, nah, I'm dead serious. Yeah, you're fucking with him. You know, we had a bully. We had this bully named Willie.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And he just had these big fists and nobody could fuck with him. And he was known for putting this dude's head into the sewer drain. Say what up to Raphael, bitch. And was like, you're not coming up to you, see the Ninja Turtles, motherfucker. And yo, and I was there, yo, I was literally there for this fight, bro. And so he was known for that. So after he did the, he had already whooped everybody's ass.
Starting point is 00:38:06 But the Ninja Turtle shit was scary, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And so after that, everybody was scared him. But one day we had a fight, well, no, one day we had an interaction and we couldn't, like, I couldn't back down because it was like people, like other people in the school watching. And I was like, fuck, I'm about to get fucked up by Willie. So we had a fight, man. And it was rude to tie because the bell rang and like nobody was really failed yet.
Starting point is 00:38:28 But one thing about him after that, he had a blood clot in his eye that lasts like a month. And I know that he wanted to like, you know, rematch the shit. But we never got to do it because it was summer break. And then summer break, we had to team up and go to another school. Because every last day of school, we would go to the neighboring school and just the whole schools will fight each other. Have you ever squabble with anyone? Well, he's a bully, by the way. Can you fucking handle this bully one time?
Starting point is 00:38:49 Come on, man. Hey, yo. When I was on Mike Tyson's shit, we arm wrestled. I won. But I'll definitely do that. Arm wrestle? What about punch him in the face, bro? No, man.
Starting point is 00:38:58 So, yo, we got enough violence going on. Is there is there anyone in the industry that you actually squabble with? Industry? Like? Nah, not like in the industry. A few on a few outskirt
Starting point is 00:39:12 fights and a few street fights. I think I'm always just fighting like regular niggas or something. Yeah. It's funny. I want to go back to the nifty thing real quick. What impact do you think that he had on the industry with the time that he did have? I think that I
Starting point is 00:39:28 I always knew that Nipsey was great and he was gonna be great. I think that his early demise kind of like, you know, halted his greatness. He got it, but it's sad that he's not here to see, you know, how big of impact that he had even after, you know, he passed. But I always knew that he was going to be one of those guys. That's why I got his demo, I called him, I brought him to the studio. We did like three songs before anybody knew who he was. And I took him on his first tour ever.
Starting point is 00:39:56 He was with me. And that was like one of my, you know, greatest friends inside and out of music, always a guy that's full of life and full of like he always spitting some type of knowledge and kicking something in. And that really, you know, his death really hurt myself. Yeah. Why just survive back to school when you can thrive by creating a space that does it all for you, no matter the size.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Whether you're taking over your parents' basement or moving to campus, IKEA has hundreds of design ideas and affordable options to complement any budget. After all, you're in your small space era. It's time to own it. Shop now at IKEA.ca. What do you think, like, before you go, what do you want to leave behind? Is there something important to you that you want people to know about you or about, you know? Probably my Xbox scorecard. Yeah. No, we've heard you're a huge 2K guy. No, really, though. No, like, yeah, that'd be cool. What do you mean, like, your achievements, man?
Starting point is 00:40:59 What's your craziest achievement? Damn. I don't know off the back, but I know my shit is like all, like, in the five stars, bro. Really? Yeah, I really do a lot of gaming, man. You play anything besides 2K? I play 2K Madden. I play COD or COD, or Cod, people like to call it.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Everybody's talking about how you faded a tour to play 2K. I really did. And I've done that multiple times, which is why I don't understand people, like, people are like, nah, he didn't do that. He didn't, but yeah, I did. Like, I do. I literally only do things that I want to do or talk to people I want to talk to or tour when I want to tour. I'm not like a slave to the music.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I kind of like, if I'm not feeling, I just won't go. But you cost yourself a lot of money, didn't you? I mean, money, you know, money ain't everything, man. Yeah. I mean, like, I never. Was it like 7 mil or some shit? Yeah. We just really wanted 2K rounds.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Was it one 2K game or was there a goal? No, no. It was like, it was like, it's a big achievement. 2K comes out at a time when like I tour mostly and like this was like when Wi-Fi was like hotel Wi-Fi like all the hotels didn't have like compatibility so like that's a problem that's a problem so the tour prior to this I was like in hotels mad as fuck yo do you know like no one's ever heard this shit when my hotels didn't have Wi-Fi I would like hit my fans or something on Twitter and be like yo can I come to your house and plug up and use your Wi-Fi so I've like literally
Starting point is 00:42:14 went into like a fan's house in like Germany or Sweden and like stayed there playing and like lived how they lived for like a day or two and like is anybody ever like yo bro you've kind of over Sid. Oversaid, you're welcome. Hell, no. Nah. Was there any bad stories with that? We used to do that, too.
Starting point is 00:42:30 We used to stay at fans' houses. Yos, but not. Like, homes in, like, Europe are, like, kind of small sometimes. Yeah, they are. And it's like, it, like, some of the living, some of the living conditions were kind of crazy. But, like, I'm from the hood. So it's like, you know, like, I grew up in a project. So it's just like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:48 You used to crash there, too? Like, sleep there? No, I would just play the game straight through. Like, yeah, just straight through. How many different houses did you do that at? Probably over the years, maybe like 20. That's dope. Did you make any, like, develop any relationships with anybody?
Starting point is 00:43:01 Some of my best, like, best friends in life were, like, from, like, Steph and Jerry and Sam, they're going to watch this shit and be like, yeah. Like, yeah. What the fuck. That's crazy. They're like in Manchester, UK. Oh, shit. And Craig, too. Craig's in London.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Shut up Craig. Steph is in fucking Germany and Berlin. Like, yeah, man. Guys sound like beauties. And like they, yo, they come out and they're all coming out for four, July, which is crazy. What the fuck? What's good for Fourth of July?
Starting point is 00:43:27 What are you doing? I'm having a party, bro. I have the biggest. Where here in L.A.? No, and fucking gangster Calabasasas. Yeah. Oh, you gettosite. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Y'all invited. We got to bring security though, right? We got to bring security to that part of Calabases. To that part of Calabases. Nah, you good, man. That's good? I got your cover. From the time you make that right, I got you.
Starting point is 00:43:46 You said earlier about like making, making music. Have you ever, and feeling like being like a slave to having to do something? Have you ever felt like, you've been like, I guess, as far as making music goes, like you had to do certain things that you didn't want to do in the industry? Yeah. In the beginning, I thought, like, I would just go do everything because, like, it, I needed to be, you know, I need to pound the pavement in order to start to create my legacy.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Once I was in full control of, like, who I was and I was the household name, I kind of just, like, sort of faded back into, like, just making choices about, you know, being select. about what it is that I really wanted to do and what was passionate to me and what wasn't. And so I kind of like just fall back from things that like I don't wanna do. Where does most of the pressure come from? Is it like the label?
Starting point is 00:44:36 It was the label at one time and then sometimes just like, you know, good family members cheering you on and telling you like, you know, like you can be, you can do this and you can do that and you can do everything so I think you should do this and go be great and go do this. And so yeah, my kid's mom was like really championing me
Starting point is 00:44:54 back in the day to Like, be great. Who do you think is your favorite artist you ever worked with, made a song with? My favorite artist I've ever made a song with is probably Snoop. Snoop? Yeah. Because that was like a bucket list thing. That was like somebody that was actually before me, not in the way.
Starting point is 00:45:15 You got to get your timelines together, man. Sorry. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm usually better than that. From the gap from when Tupac died, right, out here on the West. Tupac died, Snoop kind of went to No Limit for a minute
Starting point is 00:45:28 and then there was a gap in California where nobody filled it and so then I slid in that gap so you know. Yeah, I appreciate that. I want you out here to tell people. I won't fuck that up again. Yeah, I don't want you out here telling people I came right after NWA. No, I mean, like, 10 years, you're like ice-keptu and shit. Yeah, but 10 years was from Snoop to me. Okay, but they're California guys, company guys.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Like I thought. Yeah, it's like fucking 20. We're not going to argue about this. Get your shit together, Stani. Yeah, sorry about that, bro. I don't want to. Yeah. You're supposed to have my back against him.
Starting point is 00:45:54 He's a fucking buoy. Fuck you. So who were some of your biggest inspirations, though? You kind of talked about it earlier. But who do you think like really, really, like, got you? Okay, this is... My biggest inspiration was always Ice Cube, NWA, Dr. Dre. Easy, of course.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Easy's business mind, how he really took that group and that idea and really made it, like, world renown has fucking always been dope to me. I actually met Easy. I actually seen him in the hood. I was a kid. He would always come by, bring toys, turkeys. And you could, like, you would literally see Eric Wright, like, Ryan through Compton and, like, the dopeest Ben's is or whatever. He was, like, in the hood. So, like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:32 It's crazy. They kind of, they didn't give him that, like, positive. Like, I feel like the movie straight out of Compton. They didn't give him that, like, good vibe. He was kind of, like, looked at as a bad guy. Right. Yeah. I mean, when people, when people, when people tell the story, tell different stories, they always leave our shit. It's like how we, you know, like, love and adore like Jesus Christ, right? But you, like, you know, Jesus, like, had one attitude one day or didn't. wake up on the right side of bed one day. But they'll nobody is ever going to tell you that.
Starting point is 00:46:58 You think so? You think Jesus was just like a cock sucker one day? No, no, man. I say that. What I said is, everyone's like, Jesus, chill the fuck out, bro. Hey, no. Hey, on note, like, it's him. All I said was that you know that they probably, like, left certain things out.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Like, Jesus probably, like, yelled at somebody one day. You know what I'm saying? But when you think of Jesus, you don't think, like, he ever, ever had a dispute. People only say the good shit about Jesus, right? Right. But I'm saying, like, maybe one day Jesus had asses. attitude or something like that. I'm saying when people are telling the, my point is when people are telling stories, no one ever goes to a funeral, like goes up, you know, in the pool, in the pool pit and it's just like gets on the mic and it's like, yeah, this person fucking suck. Like, all you are here sucking this dude's dick, acting like he was better than he was. This fucking dude's asshole. No one does that. You know what? So, no one does that. You know what? Everybody talks about this, but can we talk a little bit about 50? We need more of that. Jesus, we love you. Jesus, we need more. We love you. This guy's nothing. Jesus, man.
Starting point is 00:47:50 You think Jesus will. Everybody talks about this, but can we talk a little bit about 50? We can talk a lot about 50. Because it sucks, because we were listening to Hated or Love it on the way here. Yeah. Was that nominated for a Grammy? I mean, those are OG bangers, the two back to back, hated or love it and how we do? Like, why couldn't we fix the relationship and make more songs?
Starting point is 00:48:05 What happened with him? Because you got, when you got like two, like he did, it's like me and here friends. No, it's like me and him were like best friends or something. We're in a group together. Like we're both assholes. It's only a amount of time, a certain amount of time before. At least you know the kind of guy he is. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Exactly. So we're kind of same kind of guy. So 50's like that. 50's like an asshole. But he knows it. This is like, you know, say he's a self-admitted asshole. He trolls. He does all this shit. And so it was only, you know, a certain amount of time before we were going to bump heads. And we ended up bump heads. When did it go wrong? It went wrong when Dr. Dre started to focus more on the, on the documentary than what's the album? Candy Shot was on. The massacre. No, was it? Yeah. I think that's 52nd album was the massacre. Yeah. That's good for you. wrong, though. He didn't like that, man. He was focusing on his album instead of And then, and then I also couldn't choose side. He, 50 had problems with like Nas, Fat Joe and I think the locks at that time. And these, and they were all like artists that like I really grew up listening to. So I was like conflicted. Like how do I hate these guys for, you know, and I really wanted to be like that, I really wanted to hold down G unit, you know what I'm
Starting point is 00:49:13 saying? But like these were guys that I really, that really influenced my, you know, my life. So it was hard for me. And when I was on. flex saying that 50 like went on another station or something and was like, yeah, games kicked out the group. And I was just like, fuck you a group. That's how you wanted to ride against those guys pretty much. Right. And you know what's crazy is me and 50 ain't, we ain't cool still, right?
Starting point is 00:49:35 For this day. But 50's cool with Nas, Joe and fucking. Why do you think that is? I don't know. I guess the New York thing or something. I don't know. So how much of like industry beef like that is actually real? How much is it contrived for like views and shit?
Starting point is 00:49:47 I mean, if we were asking Biggie and Tupac, then it would be super real. And at that time, me and 50, like, our entourages and us were both involved in, like, a real shootout where, like, people ended up shot. So I say it was pretty real. But do you think, like, the stuff like Drake, Kanye beef is real? No. I mean, I feel like Drake and Kanye might have a dislike, but I don't feel like Drake or Kanye are going to, like, fight or, like, kill each other. I want to ask you while we're on the topic, what do you think of, like, we saw a little TJ got shot up the other day? Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Happening every other week. It's fucking nice. Yeah, that's what I was saying, man, the world needs, literally needs a fucking hug. Somebody needs to just hug the globe because this shit is just crazy every single day. And then Shaka, Ludacris's business partner and homie and a friend of mine got shot the day after that. Is that just like gang shit? No, I don't know. I wasn't there. But it seems like it's just happening every other week.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Like, what's going on, you think? Is there just a lot more rappers now? I don't know, man. It's not even a rap thing. I mean, we had the, you know, Yuvaldi shooting in Texas. We had the mass shooting in Buffalo. I just think the world is just, I don't know, I feel like the shit is on fire. Like, these are the last days.
Starting point is 00:50:51 I don't know how much. The world is getting pretty. It's not. It's getting fucked up, fucked up. Like, it's just, it's crazy, man. You think we're going to witness some crazy shit in our lifetime? I think we already witnessing crazy shit. And so remember in the beginning where I was like, we were talking about when I was young
Starting point is 00:51:04 and how immune I was to Compton, I think that we are so immune to like shit happening every other day that we are already witnessing. Especially with the internet. Right. But, I mean, when you hear. about like six mass shootings and you know in the span of 30 days or some shit like when you hear about the seventh you're just like oh again but you're not like as devastated as you were so yeah we already witnessed some fucked up shit crazy how humans can just do that to each other
Starting point is 00:51:29 i yo that is what i can't like we're like fucking animals bro like it's like when i walked in here and i saw you guys i didn't think like fucking yo let me just fucking shoot this motherfucker up like what kind of like psyche or psychotic individuals we're dealing with out here i don't know you know what's crazy though is i think too a lot of young Younger people are getting into, like, more drugs these days. Oh, drugs are at an all time high. Younger age than they used to. Like more pills and shit.
Starting point is 00:51:52 More pills and shit. I swear I think it has to do with the social media, the comparison of your life versus someone else's life. I think that is, that would be the fucking survey says that's the number one answer right there. I think social media, the pressure of keeping up with the Joneses and trying to compare yourself constantly with somebody else. Like even, it doesn't even have to be a celebrity. It could be one person you follow who's doing a little bit better than you are. It's like the dreams and aspirations are getting scary now, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:19 Because people are like really just unhappy with their lives, man. And they're going out and they're, you know, doing the craziest shit. Social media really became something where it's just to show like, yo, I have this. It's like a flex. That's all it is now. Yeah. It's not like, yo, this is who I am. But I feel like it's as much as we fucking like talking about it and we're hating it, like we do it too.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Like, you know what I mean? It's like crazy. But I guess that's our income. That's our shit. Yeah. But notice how this sort of content that we're actually like candidly speaking and vulnerable. talking about things like is actually starting to rise up again. People are wanting more of this type of content because I think everything's been so contrived for so long that it's like I want
Starting point is 00:52:52 more real shit. And so me personally going along what you said is like yeah, I think that we are coexistent with this this whole Instagram, this whole, you know, world. But we're giving back by being vulnerable and talking about these things. People are going to watch this shit in the millions. And so yeah, we're we're part of, I think we're part of the solution. Are you on your phone a lot? I'm on my phone pretty much. Yeah. Do you ever just put it away or some shit or no? I try to do things. I try to
Starting point is 00:53:22 get my kids when we go eat like no phones like everybody put like leaving me in a car type thing and I also like you know I'm having parties now we're like no phones just like enjoy ourselves and shit like that but like yeah I try I definitely try. Yeah. I've done that before just put my phone away for even like 12 hours. Your fucking brain
Starting point is 00:53:40 feels so yeah. Oh no it's definitely therapeutic. If I didn't make as much money as I did, like, on Instagram and online, like, I would just delete all that shit. 100% because I don't need it. What about for chicks? I mean, it's chicks everywhere, man. I feel like them all, bros. I feel like you've done some damage in L.A.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I feel like you've, you're the asshole. What the fuck, bro? Like, what? He put me out there, man. No, but you have to openly talk about it. Well, there's a girl you rapped about that I know. I, like, dated for like almost a year and a half. Vita.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Yeah, years ago. Years and years ago, yeah, I feel like a year and a half, two years. How's my dick takes? No, I'm joking. Oh, my life. I'm joking, I'm joking, man. Damn, I said he's going to say that. Nah, Vita's amazing, man, it's a joke, it's a joke.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Yeah, we're probably Eskimo Bros, too, but. You two are Eskimo Bros, you think? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Like, who? I don't know. You don't think so?
Starting point is 00:54:32 Fuck, no. We're in two totally different calibers. The fuck? Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Ten's only for me, but you do your thing. You do your thing? So he's not getting tense?
Starting point is 00:54:41 No, I don't know. Not my problem, but I don't know. Okay, yeah, yeah. Can we talk about the Kim Kay? You wrote some lyrics about it? I don't know what you want to say, man. Well, what do you want to say? I mean, like, Kim Kay, like, I try to stay away from Kim Kay because me and Yay, that's my guy.
Starting point is 00:54:58 In the past, like, I've done some really disrespectful shit. And, like, you know, they got four children at this point. And, like, they're really good people, man. I think that I'm older and a little bit more, a lot more mature. And I like, you know, so no. So that means he absolutely slayed in the nicest way. Respect, though. Which is back to you.
Starting point is 00:55:16 No, but you know what? Yay jokes about it. Yeah, jokes about it all the time. Well, that's what I'm saying. The lyrics came out and then you guys come and put out this hit song Easy. So it came together. It did come together, man. And like Kim is dope, man.
Starting point is 00:55:28 And I like a lot. She does a lot of cool shit for a lot of cool people. How big was doing Easy with Kanye? Because that was recent. It was me and Kanye have had like a lot of dope songs together over the years. I just think the easy was the next in life. the next in line just to be a part of that, uh, you know, friendship inside and outside of music of just like dope shit that we do together.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Did he drop the Pete this too? Like that was pretty big at the time. Yeah. Yeah, he did. It was big at the time. When did you hear that bar? Were you with him in the studio or no? Uh, yeah, I was there in the whole time.
Starting point is 00:55:57 And he just dropped it or did he tell you he's gonna? We were just, we were kind of like me, him, my homeboy, chill. We were just in there, just writing, uh, sort of Yee's verse like together. What is it, what is it like working with Connie? Is he super creative? he's crazy crazy like he's super creative uh he real tedious as far as like what he likes and what he doesn't like reminds me a lot of like dr drake's they never like can settle on something until like the last minute but then when they do it turns out to be so fucking great so how could
Starting point is 00:56:26 you like deny it and you look back on how long it took like it was nothing because it's the magnitude of greatness after the song is done is just like phenomenal and and it's actually like help me become like a better, you know, a better artist. Does that do anything for you when you do a collab with a guy like Kanye when he's like doing Donda after the fact? Like are people hitting you up or like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, man, it just, I mean, everything, anything, yay, if yay is in your life, he's going probably help you.
Starting point is 00:56:55 I saw this thing the other day where Drake did a song with a guy named Young Blue. Do you know that guy? Yeah, I know Young Blue. His label offered him 300K and then after the song he was offered over $5 million. Oh, that's crazy. That's dope. See? So I'm just saying like collabing with artists like that
Starting point is 00:57:08 It's just like it could do a lot for your career You're already made obviously but Yeah Drizzy does a lot of that Drake gets on your song then after that like you know Drake's made so many people's careers Literally man literally But he's down with that as long as it's a banger Like he doesn't ask anybody for anything
Starting point is 00:57:23 He's just about the music right And he just jumps on it yeah What'd you think of that with 21 little baby With Lil Durk Yeah that was dope too yeah And I like low dirt What do you think about Drake's new album Have you listened to it?
Starting point is 00:57:35 You know what? I listened to it to it. And I think it's like, I think it's exactly what he was trying to do. And I mean, I've been to like, you know, Europe a ton of times. And like, that's like, that's the vibe. That's the vibe. And that vibe in when you're in like Paris doing Fashion Week or when you're in, you know, London or any, any of these like huge cities where they party like that, Ibiza or Dubai going crazy to that type of shit. So I think that it's appropriate for what he was trying to do. And I mean, it's still the number one fucking album. So why does it even matter?
Starting point is 00:58:06 Have you ever, are you, are you bumping it all, though, or no? I play it, yeah. So, I mean, I like to, anything that drops from, like, artists that, you know, I like, I like to listen to it three or four times so I can really, before I judge it to really just, like, go, like, all the way into it. And, yeah. Have you ever thought about, like, because Lowell Wayne did it, Drake just did it, like, switching genres a little bit and trying to do something out of the box, like a passion project? I think about it sometimes, man. Like, yeah, I think about all the time.
Starting point is 00:58:34 You did a song with Skrillix, didn't you back the day? I did a song with Skrillix. Yeah, we did Alchapo, yeah. Oh, yeah, that was a bigger. Yeah, it was fun. What was it like when you worked with Drake on 100, shot the video on shit? We went to his house on his side of Calabasas and the cool side. And, yeah, we just, we just in there, me, him in 40.
Starting point is 00:58:54 And we just, we did it. It was pretty easy. Simple. I was there for like two, three hours. You guys still keep in touch at all? Yeah, I talked to Drake like, I don't know, maybe like once or twice a month. That's dope. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Do you, I have a question about, I'm assuming you guys were talking about the kind of like genre shift for Drake. Yeah. And you ask about, you ask him about having to do it himself or wanting to do it himself. Do you ever feel pressure that like your music has to be what it was? Because everyone's like, oh man, I want this album, I want this vibe, you know, like the old Kanye or whatever. You ever feel pressure for your music to have to be a certain way?
Starting point is 00:59:28 Nah, I don't feel pressure. The pressure only comes from me. And so that's why sometimes like, because this new album will be dramatic, would be my 10th album. So, yeah, it, like, I go on these, like, roller coasters with myself, depending on how I feel at that time about music. I'll still put out an album, but it probably won't be 100% of, like, who I am or what I can do based on, like, what I'm going through in my life at that point in time. But now, like, there's a clean slate. There's nothing blocking, and I felt like fucking people up. So, like, yeah, this album is probably going to be my best
Starting point is 00:59:59 album, like, of my career. Yeah. So this is from the heart. Is that how you make music? It's all heart. In the first album, the documentary, was my heart and it was like who I was and it was like my introduction to the world. My second album is probably my favorite album up to this point until the completion of dramatic, which I just got done yesterday. So, no, congratulations. Where do you think you rank on the all-time, like, rappers list? So I saw recently you were saying you're better than Eminem?
Starting point is 01:00:28 I am. You think so? You probably think so if you really like listen to both of our catalogs all the way through. When we listen to a red album, Jesus piece? I'm in. Jesus piece for the red album? Like Jesus piece is like It's underrated,
Starting point is 01:00:40 such an underrated album It is super fucking classic Yeah And this album is like 10 times better than Jesus piece Does it carry the same vibe Or do you kind of change Because it's not later
Starting point is 01:00:50 It's I'm never rap The way that I'm rapping On this album Oh nice That's crazy Is it because you know more Because you're more grown Because you
Starting point is 01:00:58 What is it? I think that I've always I think I've always had it To be this good I just never really care to Because like I said I'd just be chilling, man, playing my games and being a father to my kids. And in the past, like, I was sort of being a weird-ass, like, womanizing fuck.
Starting point is 01:01:14 So I was like, oh, just fucking bitches and just living in the wildlife. When did that stop? Just the womanizing the fucking bitches thing. Probably, like, mid-30s. So, like, 35, I started to, like, really actually do a lot more thinking as far as, like, how I treat women. And that was, like, when my daughter was, like, sort of getting to a point, like, three and four years old where I started to be like, damn. Like, I'm going to have a daughter.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I mean, I have a daughter, and one day it's going to be a woman, and I don't want people, like, treating her how I treat women. So I started to alter who I was as far as, like, you know, being in women's lives. So you think the daughter is what switched it? It's definitely what switched it. Hey, so what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. Wagovi?
Starting point is 01:01:57 Yeah, Wagoe. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor about. Wagovi. Yeah. Ask for it by name. Okay. So, why did you bring me to the circus? Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.
Starting point is 01:02:14 You know, with the chair and everything. Ask your doctor for Wagovi by name. Visit wagovi.combe.com for savings. Exclusions may apply. That's good then. Having a daughter made you a better person, right? It makes you a pussy, honestly. And I battled with it for a long time. When I had my sons, I still didn't give fuck.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I was like, yeah, they'll be all right. they're like you know they're gonna be men but like my daughter like she you're like oh shit yeah your daughter's gonna need you for life and so you gotta like make conscious decisions to be a better parent that is so true yeah your son's gonna be like out here as me yeah yeah supporting you know look at this guy so my son he's fucking gonna be i'll be all right i'm be good yeah you guys are like what do you mean it's like it's a natural connection yeah man it's a big guy thing it's a big guy thing yeah yeah you can't feel that we have that right now we all three us two have a cow you're I dropped him off at a middle school.
Starting point is 01:03:07 He would like, yeah, he'd be hit. He'd be right in. Like, what the fuck? Hey, he'd be like, what's up? It's a new guy. Yeah, boys. How much do you think he'd ever you guys? I can hit a plate.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Yeah. I swear, he's seen it. What the fuck? I'll give him like, I give him 25s on both sides. Yes, exactly. I've hit plates. No, 45 pound bar. 25s on both sides.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Exactly. I feel like if you add the 10, he needs a spotter. Exactly. You're, you know, you know, he's just, I've been in the gym. Came here to bully me. bro. No, I am strong.
Starting point is 01:03:37 That's whatever. We can talk about something else. I remember you did that. I remember back in the day, you did the, what is like 60 days of fitness thing? Yeah, yeah. We still do 60 days of fitness. Right now, six days of fatness because I'm just drinking tequila every night. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:03:49 We're going to get back to. Nah, man, I like, uh, I sort of, I drink Delion, man. Delion? Yeah, man. Who's is that? That's deadies. Oh, nice. It's good?
Starting point is 01:03:59 You don't fuck with Delion or something? I've just never had. I only drink 42. That's crazy. You didn't know who Dealian's tequila? I treat 42 or Azul, bro. That's Diddy's, man. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Do you know those guys? Yeah, I know who he is. Wow. No, I'm saying, do you know who, like, owns those tequila? No, I don't. You know Diddy, though? I do know Diddy. I thought he was Sorok.
Starting point is 01:04:15 He's got something else on. That's vodka. He got Delian, man. Shit, all right. Well, I'll only drink dead. He's got everything, man. Let me hear you say it. Delion.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Yeah. So one more time. One more time, man. Yeah, he's going to fuck out. You should have my back, bro. What the fuck in my back? fucking eighth grade why don't you have my back what do you mean god dude we're bullies we're what every fucking middle school in america's got your back like you don't you don't fucking
Starting point is 01:04:36 this is fucked up right now bro yeah so so so so uh on that idea of like we're talking about the artists owning the businesses etc do you have any other business outside of just music that you are passionate about yeah i got um uh so i i do a lot of my business with uh green street which is like uh agency for like um like cannabis influencers you know you know got like TikTok influencers and YouTube influencers. Like there's a cannabis company called Green Street and they do a lot of cannabis influencing. So I fuck with them on a lot of shit.
Starting point is 01:05:08 I got like something with Stash House. You know Stash House? No, I'm not familiar. They're around LA. They got the, they got some dope shit. Like cannabis, weed, like all kind of shit. They're dope as fuck too. And then I'm coming out with my own.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I just got my own like real first strain. And it took me like two years to like, get this thing cultivated. And so when you hear about it, like, and when you get it, like just notice me. and I want everybody to like smoke it. When's that dropping? I thought this was out already.
Starting point is 01:05:32 No, no, no, no. I've had things, but there were other strains that people cultivated for me and like asked me to come up with a name. This one I saw through like my, like my baby, like, you know? And it's trail mix. What was the process like from like A to Z to make that strain from scratch? I mean, going down to this lab and needles and like this whole, this grow facility and Needles, California, or is it in California?
Starting point is 01:05:57 It might be, I don't know. It might be Nevada. It might be Needle's Nevada. But as far as fuck from here in a car. But yeah, going down there to grow facility when I was doing my business with Vertical and like learning, really learning and how to appreciate flour versus just like, you know, grinding some shit down, putting it in a fucking wood or something and smoking. And like to really go and really be a part of that whole process, man.
Starting point is 01:06:21 And like it like really did a lot for me for my mental and for my education on the whole cannabis industry so like now that um i watched uh i went through a bunch of different things we fucked up you know four or five times before we got to trail mix and now we got it down and we're we're ready to launch this thing probably like mid-july where is it going to launch like in dispensaries in cali yeah all the dispensaries in cali that's fire yeah so that shit's like your baby uh yeah man it's fucking amazing that's a good feeling like amazing are there any other businesses like that that did you're involved in outside of um outside of that i've got a numinati which is a brand i just
Starting point is 01:06:58 created um and like yay blessed it uh in the beginning process he said he said it on easy and uh we don't uh it's just everything it's just a lifestyle brand umanati numinudi numinati numina yeah it's like numinati it's like illuminati we don't fuck with that but so like a numin umanate is the way to transform everything into like a positive uh energy and like you know that's dope to like put, like, you know, homies on and give people something to be a part of that's, like, cool. So we just did this, uh, this, uh, collab with Ethica on fitness shit. Um, and we're doing, we're doing something with Chinatown Market, a little collab
Starting point is 01:07:35 with Chinatown Market. And then we're going to go into, like, uh, doing merch, like a sort of like a Balenciaga type of style and like, uh, you know, material thing and like, yeah, we got some dope shit coming up. You said something about energy. Are you big into energy, you know, like texting girls at 11, 11 to see if they're like down? I'm definitely like, make a wish. Yeah. Wait, wait. When you text at 1111, you ask them, are they down? No, no, no. I don't text them, are they down. I'm saying like, you know.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Oh, at 1111, I'm like, yo, I'm like make a wish. Yeah. Or not. But are you big into energy, though? Like, is I'm like, no, I'm all energy. All energy. And I think that up into this point, like, up to this point in my life, that's probably what, like, just kept me alive because I kind of, I kind of feel it and I know how to navigate after. When did you realize that about yourself and when did you realize that was important? And also, can you describe what you mean by being big into energy? What is that? mean to you? It means, I mean, I'll just tell you exactly what it means. If I'm somewhere and I feel this and I feel a dark energy, I'm just leaving immediately because I either know that that means that somebody in here has ill intentions or that I'm going to have to like fuck somebody up. So
Starting point is 01:08:36 I just bounce every single time. And then like women, right? It helps me a lot with women because like I can always tell who's like a gold digger who has genuine intentions by just energy. I can literally talk to somebody for or a woman in this. case. I could talk to a woman for five or ten minutes and I will know like pretty much everything I need to know about her. Based on what they're saying or just based on the way it feels. The way it feels and the way that it's like sort of all in the gumbo pot like everything, like everything. In 10 minutes I'll know exactly what kind of woman I'm dealing with. And then you'll know if it's just a flip or somebody that you would take on like several dates.
Starting point is 01:09:12 To keep more in your life. But how did you start to develop that? Because that's like a, it's a very obscure thing for a lot of people. I think that it's common. I think that it's common in every, absolutely every human being. I think we, I think it's based. on your um like your self-obedience and your like sort of sense of not letting things distract you and sort of paying attention so like when i'm locked in on something i'm just paying attention a lot of people don't make eye contact when they're talking to people these days and that's that has a lot to do with energy so they can't see certain things coming a lot of people are like on their phones all day and looking down you know what i'm saying so they might get fucking
Starting point is 01:09:44 hit by a car when they walk across the street like me i pay attention to the details in life And I think that that prolongs life, at least it does for me. And I also educate my children on like the same process. And it's not a superpower. It's just something that I think we all possess that people ignore because they're distracted by bullshit. Too much bullshit. Yeah, it's about trying to be more aware of it.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Exactly. So how, that's what I'm curious. So how have you become more aware of it? Like what things in your life were you like? Because at some point, I'm assuming. He's experienced that shit. Well, so we all know that like Tupac died, right? He got murdered in Vegas.
Starting point is 01:10:17 And so I was 17. And so I wasn't, I was bothered by that and hurt by that, but it wasn't so close to home to where I felt like I needed to alter my lifestyle, right? Yeah. But when Nip got, when Nip passed away, I was like, fuck, motherfuckers are still killing us. And when I say us, I mean like rappers. So I really need to like, you know, understand that this could happen to me too. And I already knew it could happen to me. I just, I was a little like, lax of daisy when it come to, like, protecting myself in places in positions I put myself.
Starting point is 01:10:48 and sort of, you know, environments and situations. So after Nip Pass, I started falling back even more, you know what I'm saying? It's just like, so it's like you said, it's just sort of trials and error and life just going around, sort of if you ever seen Slumdog Millionaire, it's kind of like, you know, you learn as you go from like the various things that taught you. Do any of the younger, like, rappers, younger generation reach out to you ever looking for guidance or anything like that? I think that I think that it happens sometimes and then more times not I like give it to
Starting point is 01:11:16 Like before Pop Smoke died, I, like, definitely made sure that, like, you know, he was cool when he came to L.A. I was just always, like, reaching out. And I do that a lot with younger rappers. I think that, especially with all the drugs going around and all the rappers getting murdered and everything, just going around in life that everybody needs a shoulder. And just to notice somebody else in the same, you know, position, like, got love for him. Did Pop Smoke, like, reach back out to you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was like, you know, thank you.
Starting point is 01:11:45 And, you know, appreciate it. damn it's just crazy how often that kind of shit happens especially with the drug stuff though like the overdosing shit all that stuff that shit is nuts i just don't uh like i've never i've never done drugs so i don't even i can't even dive into the minds of someone that needs it but i think that um it might come from like or it might stem from people just getting into weak moments and then just sort of surrendering to you know the various drugs that are out there i kind of go through my weak moments and sort of like talk myself or build myself out of it when I'm at my low points. And I think that it's harder that way. I think drugs make it easier to cope with the
Starting point is 01:12:24 fucked up shit that you go through in life or else why would people be doing them. Some of us, especially me, kind of just get fucked up by the world and then have to fight my way back. And that is more difficult and it's harder, but it's my process. I don't enjoy it all the time, but it makes you stronger at the end of the day. And it doesn't deteriorate your internal organs so that you're, you know, meeting the early demise from, like, you know, what would seem like natural causes or something. Had there ever been any points for you or into drugs, anything like that? Nah, I smoke weed, I drink alcohol.
Starting point is 01:12:53 I don't abuse either. And I'm never like, like, I can stop doing either at whenever I want and never do them again. Like, that's how self and self-control I am. I just thought about this. When I was in, like, high school, there was a clip of you. We have a guy, Steve will do it, who does this. Man, you're in middle school.
Starting point is 01:13:11 bro you say you bullied you you say you bully the bullies but it seems like you bully the week bro I'm calling cap with everything you're saying I'm not seeing it tell the story man just saying you said you bully the boys but you believe the week
Starting point is 01:13:25 you believe the week you believe the week anyway there's a clip of you where you go on stage and you take a great goose bottle and you slam the whole thing remember that how many times you think you did that shit like the whole fucking bottom of course of my career
Starting point is 01:13:38 like some Steve will do shit walking up to him and they're saying Yo, bro, no more. And he slams the whole fucking thing. Oh, you know what's crazy? Let me tell you something like that. You're the first guy ever saw you do that. I've done that like 50 times in my life.
Starting point is 01:13:49 But look, the last time I did it, yeah. The last time I did it was on drink, you're familiar with drink champs? Yeah. Last time I did it was on drink champs. And ever since I did that, Aesab Rocky's been on and I think Juel Santana's been on. And they asked Nori like, well, damn, what was up with game doing the, you know, drinking that whole bottle of Claise Azou. And he keeps saying like he brought his own bottle.
Starting point is 01:14:10 like I didn't do it or something we're like kind of trying to play I said it was fake no he didn't say it was fake but I kind of feel like he handed that I brought the bottle in the box with the wrapping on it and unwrapped it on the show
Starting point is 01:14:22 you know what I'm saying but it's like if you got it like we can all go in but we're gonna need like four of them shits what made you want to do that just like a flex or like I think oh yeah
Starting point is 01:14:32 oh my God yeah it's crazy yo wait why why do you want to do it just to try it I didn't fucking want to do that do it but you did it yeah damn how many times you did not that i don't do that yeah like you want to grow but you just won't do it like you just can't get it yeah i know it's like i'm a big fan
Starting point is 01:14:51 not not anymore yeah not anymore it's all like a salty hater fucking you hater how do you deal with hate uh i just kind of just look for it but you know hate is the hate is the hate is the the darkest the darkest love that you can ever receive yeah oh yeah like for someone to hate you they have to know more about you than normal person. Yeah. That just gives you genuine love, you know? Yeah. I mean, it would it make any other sense.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Like, if someone didn't have, like, a decision against you, I mean, they have to be something that there's also, like, interested in at the same time. Right. Exactly. Yeah. I saw on the drink champ shit, too, you were upset about the Super Bull shit? Uh, well, I was sort of like, I sort of felt away about it.
Starting point is 01:15:30 I wouldn't say, like, upset to, like, a point of no return. But you felt like you should have been included in that moment. I definitely should have, should have been included. But, um, at this point today, like, I mean, you know, it's water under the bridge. I ain't really tripping. I just thought, I just know if it was me. I was more upset because I know if it was me,
Starting point is 01:15:44 I would have did, like, what was supposed to be done. You know what I'm saying? And I felt like that was an opportunity where Dre really, you know, had, you know, he could have done what was right. What did you feel like was right? What should have been done? I mean, what was not right
Starting point is 01:15:57 was to leave an L.A. staple out of an L.A. Super Bowl when an L.A. team is in the Super Bowl. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And I felt like if it's a Detroit Super Bowl, like we wouldn't see L.A. people on it. They would have Detroit artists.
Starting point is 01:16:10 If it was in New York Super Bowl, you would have saw Jay Z and Alicia Keys and, you know, a bunch of New York artists. But in L.A., not saying that they couldn't have brought like Mary J. or M. or 50 to the Super Bowl. I'm just saying, like, don't leave out, like, the people were really pounded the pavement for, like, L.A. hip-hop.
Starting point is 01:16:28 And so that was my only thing. Why do you think they left you out, though? Huh? Why do you think they left you out? Oh, because I'm like, I don't know. I'm an asshole sometimes. Or, like, I'm not a safe artist is what. I like to say, like everybody up there was sort of like a safe artist. Like 50 is dove in the TV.
Starting point is 01:16:42 Of course, you know, like, Kendrick is not controversial. He's like dope and like sort of in his lane. M is like a veteran MC and like Eminem. You know what I'm saying? And then Snoop is Martin Stewart's home. Yeah, he's. So it's like, you know what I'm saying? Like Snoop is everywhere. And he's iconic. And then who else? And then 50, I don't think Eminem would have did it unless 50 was on it. So you think that's why 50 was there? 50 was there. Yeah, I think that, like, if Dre didn't bring 50, M probably wouldn't have done it. But that speaks on M's loyalty to his people and to 50. I think that was dope. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:20 It's like, I don't walk in a club unless they let everybody that's with me in first. Because if I walk in and I go to my section, then they're like, you know, you know, they'll leave people outside. So I'll make sure that I stay at the front door to, like, all my people were. And so I get what M&M, you know, hypothetically did there. So you don't have a good relationship. with those guys no more, really? I don't, I mean, I never really had, like, a relationship with them. It's kind of just, like, we're signed to the same label, and, like, we, like, we get
Starting point is 01:17:47 alone for the most part, but I don't, like, break peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, like, like, in half with these niggas. Right. They have no peanut butter and jellies, huh? Yeah. That reminds him of nutrition. Yeah. What the fuck, man.
Starting point is 01:17:57 That's like his number one form. He's like, dude, puts it in his lunchbox today. Oh, my God. Yeah. No, in contrary, peanut and jelly sandwiches are fucking crazy, bro. They're fucking crazy. With a little apple? A little light.
