No Jumper. Coolest podcast on the world. And I'm here with AD today. And we are speaking to the man, Milk 74. How are you living, Jay? I'm good. I'm groovy. Nice to have you here, man. I like that.

We've been observing the YouTube for a while. And, you know, I feel like it's our duty to check out the next generation of L.A. Street YouTube. It's really you kind of, like, represent that. Because for a long time, it's like you didn't really see people who are from neighborhoods and stuff, really figuring out the YouTube hustle. And I feel like, you know, you're somebody who's definitely making an. impression on on los angeles right now i guess how'd you get into this shit give us a little bit of a story about now actually before we talk to youtube talk to us about uh where you're coming from and where your upbringing was like and stuff you spoke to a d and i heard you have a crazy story right

yeah i mean um i was adopted at seven days old okay fresh out the hospital really yeah to a black lady uh-huh uh single parent right from la okay mother grew up well mother bought a house on 79th and Figuero. So basically went from the hospital to 79th and Figueroa. Wow. So, yeah, I grew up in the ghetto my whole life. Everywhere I lived at, it was a black area. Right.

Okay. And so do you know anything about your biological parents? Like two, maybe two years ago, I had a Facebook message. Really? A request. Like, it's a request. Somebody said they was my sisters. went and dug a little bit and they were really and so did you find out anything about exactly where

your parents were going through yeah i think my mother was a uh drug addict heroin addict or whatever you want to call it so but she already had three kids prior to me uh-huh and i guess they snatched me really wow and so okay so what what was your upbringing like you were just basically around street shit your whole life yeah yeah i mean i didn't uh i didn't have a uh father It was just her, raised me. She tried the best, you know. We was in Baldwin Park, until I was probably like five.

It was kind of like a good street where we lived at, kind of fake, rich, uppity. But after that, it was the ghetto, for sure. But every weekend I would go to my grandmother's house on 70-night and be in the ghetto. Then from, I say, like, six years old, she was forced to move back to the ghetto because the rent was too much, you know, she by herself.

So we moved on 53rd in Dinker. And I was like 10 and a half or 11. Well, it's a crazy area. It's a bad area. Yeah, and that's where I jumped off the porch at. So describe what jumping off the porch was to you at that time of your life? Oh, it was just everything in the streets. That street, I learned how to bag up a quarter pound of stress.

First time I, you know, robbed a person was over there. Really? Yeah, 12 years old. Let's hear that story. I want to hear about the 12-year-old. Yeah, that's over. Allegedly, allegedly. Allegedly.

I don't give a fuck about that. They can't do none of me. I don't know. It was a dice game. My homies were shooting dice, and I had no more money. I was 12. I was young.

I wanted to get in a dice game. So I was like, fuck it, bro. Give me a knife. Hey, what's you going to do with a knife? I'm like, I'm going to go get somebody. So I go down the street, like two streets down. Remind you, I'm white, have no jacket on, no hoodie. I'm not only white over there, period.

besides like the paramedics and the school teachers or the police. That's it. And I got to 54th, and I did like a little stupid robbery. I caught the little corn man. I mean, the little one that pushed the... It's typical, though, in L.A.

A corn man, damn. The one that pushed the little... You know, it sounds messed up now, but pushed the little ice cream. And I purposely picked the ice cream that I knew he either wasn't going to have or he was going to have the dig to the bottom to get so I could build up the courage.

So when he didn't have... I had at first when I told him give me that one. He dug. When he put back out the ice cream, I put out the knife. I'm in broad daylight on 54th and Dinker. It's like an intersection. And I booked him. He gave me the money out his pocket.

He probably had more. But once I got that, I just left. Broke. Hit a couple fences. You know, I'm familiar with the area. So hit a couple fences. And I was good. Right.

And how the dice game go, you remember? Bullshit, I lost. It was bullshit. It was bullshit. Damn. Yeah. Yeah, but that's where I jumped off the porch at. All right.

So were you around the gang stuff from early on? What was your earliest impression on all that? That's all my sisters dated. Well, my adopted family, that's all they dated was gang members. My cousins was in jail doing 12 years, 13 years. And like I told you, the house that my mother bought, she bought the house in the heart of the hoover's. before she bought it in like

1965 so when I was when they was growing up over there my sister's name was already brought up with all the first generations Hoover so I really never had a problem as far as like them pretty much so did you always want to get down though? Yeah I always wanted to

I just wanted to like game bang for some reason it was just very like that's all I wanted to do I didn't get a fuck about nothing else nothing damn that's crazy I have like a I mean, my mother, she, you know, I wasn't poor, but I wasn't rich, but shit, I just wanted to go to the streets. Right. Damn.

So you started just running around with them or what? Yeah, like, okay, so elementary, about the time we moved over there, I was done with elementary. So I had to go to John Mirre. Mm-hmm. So I catch the dash to John Mirror. So that's where I started meeting everybody that lived over there. Some of them was already gangbanging. Some of them was following after their brother footsteps.

So we started like a little crew. And I was the only white one in it. Was that an issue from the beginning? Or did you think that you weren't going to be accepted because you were white? Not really because it sounds stupid. But for a minute, I really didn't know that I was the only white one. Really? Yeah.

It sounds stupid, but yeah. Had you just not really had anybody call you white? Or, like, you were around so many people that you didn't really see it that way? I mean, I don't know. It was for like a minute. I just, I didn't know until, like, I think maybe like 12 and a half. I started getting two of my little cousins and nieces. and then they start saying, oh, shut up, Doddy, you cracker, and all that shit.

So then that's when I started realizing. Then I had like a step-unty. She used to say, you're going to be like your brother. And I used to be like, where are you talking about? And she used to say that. And I guess I had a real brother from the birth mother. And he was killed after getting out of juvenile hall. So, yeah.

Oh, wow. That's cool. Damn. That's crazy. So, okay. So did you ever, did you feel like, like once you start getting acknowledged does white more though like did that occur like was it a big deal or was it just not really um no it wasn't a big deal i mean i was more like popular kind of sort of just getting kind of

stood out and shit yeah yeah yeah interesting but i mean i always had to deal with with with issues i always was the one if somebody wanted to pick on somebody you know they'd try to pick on me but uh i wasn't going from any of that did it did you have to like overreact to basically make it so that you didn't feel like you could be victimized? Yeah, when I got older. Like 14 and 15, yeah. Interesting. So, okay, what kind of shit you get into?

Because I know you ended up doing some time, right? It's the regular shit, the robberies, the purse snatchings at 12. You know, it's like my mother died two years later. Like, my mother died like when I was 14. So it was like two years later after we moved to 53rd. So once she died, I had no choice. I mean, I had sisters that I lived with, but they really didn't, I didn't give it fun. He was by yourself.

Yeah, pretty much. So she passes away, and then where do you move? With her daughters, which would be my sisters. But that was, like, moving to the drunk sister who don't care, you know, like, do what I want to do. Come in when I want to, leave when I want to, nobody care about the police or none of that. Really? Yeah. So you didn't really, you didn't really.

like have any other choice in terms of like what your life was going to turn into at that point? Not really. Not really. Not really. Nah, not really. So when did you start getting into like real trouble and getting arrested and shit? 14. Okay. That was the first time I went to Lennox Sheriff Station.

It was the first time. What did they get you for that time? Oh, for robbery. It was robberies from the beginning. It was just bullshit robberies. This robbery was stupid because we could have got away, but they was trying to sell it to some askings, you know, because then the people that you go to, to when you got something in LA

because they're going to chip over the money. So you took something and then you were trying to sell it to some Mexicans? Yeah. What would you take? A bunch of tools. That's a real hustler. It was brand new. It was like, you know, the saws.

It was everything. That's when I was young, though. We was just trying to basically, you could probably get some weed money or something. Uh-huh. Okay. And so you got caught up that time, but what was that like? You didn't have to go to prison for that?

Hell no. You just go to the, to the, I was 14, go to the police station. Your mama couldn't get you. They did some punk-ass like probation or some shit like that. But that was the trap. That was what would happen, the probation. So after that, it was just easier and easier and easier.

Do you ever get formally jumped in? Yeah. What age? It was probably 15. Okay. Yeah. I was claiming the set before I even got put on the set. So I was already banging this set, like from childhood.

because my people is basically friend of set. I've been banging it, but yeah, I got put on it in South Central. Yeah. And how was that? Set the scene for me.

Where did this happen? How long did it last? I got to know. It was on one, at the time, it was on one of the worst gang streets. It was on Figuero.

And it just got to a point where it was like, it wasn't like I had to, but it was like I might as well. I understand? Because I'm out here, friendlining every day. They ain't going to get no respect.

if you don't get put on. You know, I'm getting their respect. Did you have to do that? Yeah. It's different. We're going to talk about that one. It's different. It's like you're not,

it's like you could be over there. You could be hanging around. You could be cool with some people, but anybody can try to do anything to you. Like, you're not a friend of set. So, you know, being in front of set just give you more privileges, basically. Right.

Do what you want to do. Like, say, when I wasn't in front of setting I was over there and I had it hot or something, it'd be a problem. They'd be like, why are you bringing this attention to our area? that kind of shit. Mm-hmm.

But my yard was the hub. So it was like, I'm making this hot, but you got my yard hot. So it's like. Right. What you want to do? But you were out there like, you know, there's different levels to that shit. When you're in the neighborhood and you're really outside every day? Yeah, I was outside every day.

Jay and he eat liquor. Right. My homie got killed out right in front of me. Really? What was that like? What age? I was grown. I was like 20.

It was like 20. He just turned 25, like four hours after his birthday. Right. we was normal day me and my homie junebug we posted in front of the store every day every day smoke hustle whatever it's the spot you got a lot of youtube videos talking about being outside this store yeah i used to the store was my life it was every fucking day it was like a job and um shit uh he i went to jail he i went to prison he got out he was doing good and then he started back trying to pimp and um he started being on fig again every day and uh i don't know

he was just right there one day after his birthday he made my homie smoking he walked up from across the street he said what's up we start chilling then he said I'm gonna go get some weed from around the corner when he came back from getting a weed one of my homies seen a car and he like hey watch that that look like Hartman that's a detective

shout out Drago the ruler he used to be a police but he turned detective so we was on his ass that's the one who was on Drago's ass making his life a little hell for a while yeah that's how he became detective because he was he was forcing shit like he his own shit. And he had a Buick.

So whatever, we seen the Buick and we like, just watch it. Feel it me? Next thing, we know, the car doubled back. And I'm like, man, it's the police. What we're going to do? The motherfucker turned on 79th. Like, it turned on the corner in the liquor store is like right here. And that motherfucker parked. Two people got out.

But before we knew that they got out and was walking up, it was like too late. It was like, they was right here. We was right here. And shit, they just got to shooting. The cops. Oh. We thought it with the cops in the car.

It wasn't a marked car. It was a Buick Regal. Like, it was a regular car. But the police ride around in these type of cars so they could throw you off, you from me. But no, it wasn't the police. Okay. Yeah. And then they probably shot like 70 times.

Fuck. And he got hit once. Damn. And what did you do? I ran. I was the one banged out. The seven-fold hat on, a black shirt, orange, like polo type of pants. And I told him, I'm like, bro, it was like four people when we first standing right here.

It's down to us two. The two didn't win in the store or something, what you're about to do. I guess he, I don't know, bro. Like, I'm like, bro, when they get right here to the, where the car's pulling at, I'm breaking. Feel me? Because the shit ain't on us. It was fucked up. The shit was somewhere else.

It was like the police working, the police working with them to get on us because they want us from in front of that store so bad. They didn't try gang injunctions and try everything. But yeah, they shot like 70 times and hit him one time. Damn. I was already over a fence. He tried to like, I broke, I broke like straight away. Philby, I said, fuck it, cars coming, whatever. I just broke.

When I look back, he broke, but he ran in the middle of the street. You become an empty, I mean, an open, become a target. Somebody just hit him one time. Damn. Yeah. Did that change how you feel about posting up outside there? It made me not really post up right there. Right there, but no. I mean, it, it changed me a little bit. It was like, damn, you know, I was right there, you know, they was

trying to get all of us, but it is what it is, though. You really don't, you know. Damn. So you did a significant amount of time at some point, though? Not a significant. I never did know 10 years and then I did gun charges in the county jail. The county jail was hard out here. Yeah. I'd be getting to a lot of people on the internet, because they say that the county jail is like weak out here. Uh-huh. It's not.

It's not. Wayside in the county jail is kind of worse than, it's kind of worse than a couple prisons in different levels, like one in two yards, that county jail is worse. Right. So when you were getting locked up in the county and stuff, though, you feel like you learned a lot about what was going on in here? Well, I already knew what was going on.

Like I said, my sister's, my sister baby daddy did a quarter of a century. like 20 years old he got out when he was like 45 so i was already late i already knew what to be uh cautious of what to be worry of the woods which is the whites in the county they're trying to turn you into one of them well i mean that probably would be the objective but with me not but when you said the woods you said that's like short for peckerwood but that doesn't infer that's what they call them but that doesn't mean racist right that's a different thing they call itself uh woods right that's basically like a non-affiliated white guy though of like that's what the the whites who aren't racist group up in that?

Not all of them in LA is racist. Oh, okay. You're gonna get turned racist. Right. Yeah, you have no choice. They're gonna turn you racist. So even if you don't give a shit, it's like you basically have to act like you are.

Yeah, because you're gonna go out there and they're gonna make you do shit, you know? Like California got the most race, to me, got the most racial, county jail prison system. Right. Right. And so how do you navigate that though? All of a sudden, you're like, man. Okay, so, but the black dudes that you were fucking with, they were looking out for you? Like they weren't, they were going to hold you down in that regard or what?

Well, yeah, but I got to hold my down. I got to hold myself down first. Feel me? Like, it's a whole different, no matter what you do on the streets. When you go in there, something different. Like, it's a whole other ballgame. Even race with, like, a race ride happened or anything like that. You got to, you got to down there.

You got to get down with your enemies, help them out and shit like that. You feel me? Same shit. But see, in our county, though, it's not, it's, it's every black, if you're an enemy, you're fighting. Like, it's crazy. Me, I got to worry about the enemies and the woods. Right.

Yeah. And that's got to be tough because it's like, you, like, I'm assuming that when there's a race, when there's a big ass riot, that it's like, yeah, you're a white guy and you're down with these guys, but, I mean, basically people are attacking each other based on race. I'm the target, right? I'm the target, right? I'm more of the target than the person that they crack the riot off for.

Right. They want me. Damn. So how do you navigate that shit, though? How do you feel like you were able to? I mean, like, it's not as bad as going to San Bernardino County. It's a little worse. You know, it's more whites out there.

I hear it was a fair number, but the first two times, I didn't really run into none that wanted, like, you know, they didn't really, I guess the number, they didn't have enough numbers. I hit Wayside. That's like a prison, you feel me? People coming in constantly every day. I caught like three or four phases, and they're never had a problem with the woods. When I got back to the county jail, though.

after the little phase and shit or whatever. Because they transfer you every day. It's like a money situation. So they send me back to MCJ. I think they sent me to the 2000 floor like 21, 23. White boy, like your height, but real cut up though. Tatted up everywhere.

He on this side of the, it's like this side of the tower. I mean, the tier and it's this high, but it's separated with a bar so he can't get to me. When I walk up, he's like, what's up, bro? This me. And I'm like, I was kind of confused.

How did you take that? This is me? I didn't know what he was talking about. Yeah. But I guess he meant like he's the head of the woods. I guess he thought I was a wood. And I'm like, hey, bro. Nah, you ain't got me.

Like, you feel me? And he like, what? I'm like, I'm from west side of Hoover. And I guess he got like, kind of got mad. You feel me? Yeah. Because I'm like, bro, look. Like, it ain't, you came at me like that.

So I'm coming at you like that. So went back in the cell. seen a couple of my homies but they're not on the tier but they're the tier like what do you call that shit the fuck you call that shit like the

not the janitor but I don't remember I smoked so much weed but the you know like the the person that clean up for you know and all that shit and they pass out the lunches and shit so I was good you know I was talking to a couple people this was one man sales

downstairs four men sales but actually two built for two people, but they only spend one person down there, four people, whatever. So I go to medical, because I'm trying to get some, what do you call it? I just go to transit because I'm trying to get some the muscle relaxers.

I got a rod in my leg, but I'm just trying to use that to either like, you know, take that shit and get higher or something, go to sleep. Right. And when I come back from medical, the CEO, the sheriff, like, it's yards, how are you going to go to yard? Like, you're going to go to yard, be on the bars when I get back. Like, okay, I have been

outside in like 90 days. I'm like, fucking, I'm going to the roof. It is what it is. I already know what to be cautious of. I know it to be worried, but I'm like fucking, I'm going. They call us out, you know, they search us, whatever, it's going good. Get to the roof. I'm with,

you know, the blacks. And I'm with a few people I know, a lot of people I didn't know, but it was going good. You know, we was talking, listening to the music. I went to get some water. came back. It wasn't no problem.

And we out there for probably like an hour, hour and something like that. So before we go back, I go back to get some more water. Now as I'm going to go get the water, there's like a line of phones, and I see like six woods at the phone. So I'm already like, yeah, you know, they're getting that call

or they calling somebody to get the okay, you feel of me? So I'm like, fuck it, you know? I don't make a scene. I go get the water. When I get the water as I'm turning around, now they like, you see how the table is. It's like one, two, three, four, five. They like kind of like trying to corner me in on the low, like real sneaky, like not saying them. They're like cats probably.

I'm like, fuck it, bro. When they get like, fuck it. When they get like a feet or whatever, I'm going to just rush them. So they walked up. I rushed them. They jumped me for like maybe like 20 seconds before whoever can. It was probably like six blacks that came. The rest got out, you feel me?

But it was like six blacks that came and it was a riot. Really? So it went crazy from there and everybody was fighting all of a sudden? Yeah, it went from like, you know, me and him, jumping him to them, like, basically like swapping off trash cans getting used. Then the police coming to the bar saying, get down, get down, get down, get down, or whatever. You feel it me, it's my first riot. I ain't know what to do.

So I was almost down. Dude from grayish. Like, no, bro. Bro them, get the fuck now. What you're doing? Get up, get up. So I got back up, and he like, go, and we went. And today, you know, tear gassed it out, pepper sprayed it down.

Right. Put us out, you know, took us down there. What's wrong? What happened? Nothing. You okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Well, what is this?

It was like a, like a little punk, like a little, maybe a hit or a scrape. A nick or something. You feel of me? I'm like, man, that shit ain't nothing that's old or whatever. And like, man, we know what happened. I'm like, ain't shit happen or whatever. So basically by me not doing that, they sent this to the hole.

He was in there for like four days. And that's kind of good. Right. And so after that, though, is like shit kind of go back to normal. Like you see those same dudes who jump to you? Nah, because when I went to the hole, I wasn't even in the hole two hours.

I went to the hole. They put me upstairs in a cell with a mask from Elmante Flores or whatever, in there for shooting at the police. and like two hours later I just start seeing my homies coming there and I'm like damn but one of my homies first came in there for refusing Carlyne or whatever his reasons is

I guess he didn't it was too far for his baby mama to visit you know the excuses like two hours later they start coming in you know because they cracked it off at dinner crazy they put you in like a little

something like this bar door walk away if the Mexicans come out the woods come out if the blacks come out they're in there and yeah they just like they just attacked them yeah crazy

so when did you start thinking about doing YouTube after I started seeing like YouTube so you just get out at a certain point you're kind of because there's like a whole there's like a little like prison underworld scene on YouTube that was at first right

but then you start learning about it people start telling you like yo, there's actually people really talking about this show on YouTube and getting mad views. Nah, because I started seeing certain channels, and I was like, it mostly was like out-of-town channels talking about California. I was like, they don't even know what they're talking about. Like, it's just hurting my ears.

I'm like, damn, if he could do it, I'm going to do it. But then I was like, nah, because it kind of go against my religion. Right. But I was like, time changed, you know, stuff changed. That's how I feel, though. And I was like, you know, we got to, it is what it is. It is the same thing is rapping. You understand what I'm saying?

It's no different. But you feel that way about being on here that there's like certain conversations you don't want to be having? It's just period about the camera. That's why I initially smoke so much in front of the camera because it's kind of awkward. That's why I was kind of weary. Like at first the Snapchat shit was cool, but then at first it's just like, all right, if I'm going to sit there and have my own show, you know, you always got to watch what you're saying,

what you do and this shit's going to live on here. It's just period. They can pull some shit up. You feel me? I can do some shit and, oops, some bread come trail right there. And it's like, shit. you told on your fucking self so you know it's just about being on the camera too like when i was 12 and 11 we didn't take pictures couldn't take pictures that's why i don't got pictures when i was

besides like baby pictures but you know we wasn't taking pictures do you ever have anybody from what you're from uh upset about you sort of like putting yourself out there in that way i mean i have people i have certain people you know you always gonna have people mad you're gonna have people mad if i would start rapping i start working people gonna be mad like whatever you do people people gonna be mad. I mean, longest I know what I'm doing, you know, keep it cool. I don't see no problem. Right. Have you ever felt like you were like drawing too much energy or too much attention in terms of either cops or enemies? More, more of just people, period, because being on YouTube, everybody know who you are, but you don't know who they are. So like, you know, like, now I

I got to be cautious because people running up on me or saying something to me, but they say milk from YouTube because it happens. But I'm thinking, Somebody saying, you know, someone's from game banging shit. So it's a little, you know, it's a little tricky. You got to move a little different. Yeah. And that's, oh, yeah, go ahead. Are you good?

But I already live different, you know, so I'm a little, you know, a little secure. I feel. What are you saying? That's why I always had, like, law in my head, like, to, like, not literally fuck nobody's bitch like that. You feel me? Because I've watched niggas, like, watch a nigga, every music video, learn their mannerisms, try to figure out where their hood is.

try to figure everything about them over a woman and like plot on your nigger kill you over a bitch all the time so I literally used to always be like you know what I would meet women that I was trying to knock down and I'd be like hey she'd be like oh my baby daddy is boom boom I'm just like nah I'm cool keep it pushing my baby daddy is bum whatever you know what I'm saying because a nigga will watch

everything and you put yourself even like doing this right now it's like all right you're watching us you're learning the backgrounds it's an easy slip up somebody could come and if you feel me they got a personal vendetta against you they can come take you I hear it. But then also you're like reading anonymous comments of people who know

more about you than you're comfortable with, right? I'm sure you had that happen. Yeah, but I don't, I got over that. I don't care. I don't fucking comments. When did you decide you had to get out of the hood, though? I know you live downtown somewhere that you kind of, that's the first step.

But see, but see the thing about that, even if I do, how they think I do or whatever. If I did, it still got a murder rate. So it ain't that good. Oh, downtown ain't that good. Yeah, the area ain't that good. I mean, it's just, you know, like, I got out the, I mean, I first, you know, got in a luxury apartment, like, it's my second lease, so probably like another one,

uh, 2019 or something like that. But so did doing the YouTube thing kind of change your perspective on what you could potentially do with yourself? Like, I started opening your mind up, but like, oh, damn, I can actually make money having these conversations and doing things that you probably never thought were possible before, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, when I first started it, I really didn't just, I was just going, I was just, I was just going to see what it was about, you know, but when I got to like 3K subscribers,

I was like, I'm just by an iPhone or a camera and just, you know, try to get better. Yeah. How do you, like, who do you think most of your fans are? Who do you feel like you're making videos for? Um, I mean, everything. Everybody, I guess, you know. I mean, I get a little bit of everybody like in the videos. But, you know, I'm more towards the street type of person, I guess.

Right. You feel like you got an L.A. centered audience, or you feel like it's a lot of people who are, like, watching. They want to see what L.A. is. And it's a lot of people from L.A. Right. Yeah, but it's a lot of people from other places, too. Do you feel like, you know, being from an actual neighborhood and shit, do you feel like you've got to really watch your shit in terms of offering commentary about different people

from different neighborhoods. Like, how do you think about that? Because it very much in the streets, there's a code of silence. It's like, you don't really talk about, you know, other people so much and everything. YouTube, there's a lot of value in talking about somebody else. Yeah, I mean, if, I mean, I just look at it as like rapping. If you rap and you get into somebody, you're going to talk about each other. And it's just, I don't know, YouTube is, it's two thousand and twenty-one. It's not fucking 2010 or 2011. So, I mean, it is what it is. I'm in it and I don't care.

Like, it is what it is. Do you mind beefing with people through the YouTube thing? I mean, I've been beefing with people my whole life. I'm not trying to beef with people on YouTube. In the beginning, like 2K subscribers. I caught myself in the middle of some little weird stuff. But, uh, not really. I mean, you know, sometimes the stuff I say some people don't like.

But I mean, uh, Stop getting caught on camera doing anything. I just feel like if it's on camera, I can talk about it. If you put it on camera, if it's, if you put it on camera, I can talk about it. If it's on camera, I mean, you know, the longest I'm not talking about like pop smoke case or, you know, nothing like, nothing like that. I'm good. But why would his case be something you couldn't talk about? That's something everybody, it feels like everybody kind of knows what happened.

Yeah, but it's just not, it's really not for me to talk about. It hit home a little harder. Right. Allegedly. Yeah. No, definitely. I mean, okay, so you're somebody who you made a lot of videos, or at least you've had a pretty consistent conversation going with, I mean, what was in that blunt?

Was that a takerwood? Yeah, that was the taker, Dutch. No disrespect. No, disrespect. No, it's the takers. Were you interacting with him? We're talking about Blockboy, L.A., not Block Boy J.B., but what? Were you interacting with him and making videos about him before he passed?

Yeah, yeah. One time because he did a video. He went on, like, he acted like he went on 84th and like Hoover. Where he went at is like an intersection. And let me tell you, it's 2021. It's not how it was. Anybody can pull up anywhere for literally Instagram, give you 60 seconds of a video.

And when he was on there, like 20 seconds and he said some shit. So I just got on the video and I'm like, bro, like, you know, like, This ain't the way to go. What you doing is going to get you killed. He made another video because I told him, bro, he was like, I'm going to go to Manchester Park and I'm like, ain't no marks at Manchester Park. So in the next video he did, he said that. He said, oh, they said, can't know Marks go to Manchester Park?

He just didn't say my name. But, yeah. He tried to DM me and said, you ain't going to react to my video? I'm like, what? I didn't even reply to the shit. But I told him, I told him early on. I'm like, going to get killed, bro. That was the craziest cloud chasing shit that we really have seen in L.A.

Maybe ever or at least in a long-ass time. Yeah. No, that was sick. He was doing some crazy shit. I told him on the video, like, bro, you burning dead people with shirts. Six, sick shit. You have never met these people. You do not beef with these people.

Right. You don't even, you have no interactions with them at all. So where are you burning a shirt for? I know. He's doing sick shit. Walking around with a walker at that one intersection and shit. Like, making fun of the dude who was in a wheelchair. They're going to the Imperial Quartz across the street from a police station doing video.

I'm telling you, jumping out for 10 seconds. He knows where he's going. He's driving around probably four times around the block, spinning it, making sure who out real quick. Let me jump out real quick for this 10 second. Yeah. Running up on people that don't game bang. That to me is what happens when you got a young L.A. guy who was too influenced by 6-9. I didn't even know he was from L.A., but he did with 6-9 did, but he just went at people.

A lot of people that he went at really ain't got that much to lose. He did it without security. or without a gang protecting him 6-9 at first he actually has security the whole time it was doing it with a whole

it was on a whole another level he was doing it was a stupid thing to do but at least he was kind of doing it a smart way a black boy was doing

a stupid thing to do in a stupid way he was beefing with a real gang members this guy beefing with real gang members you're going to real goods and if you ain't got the bag to move around like that it's only a matter of time

somebody gets you get caught and you slipped up you feel me with a with a with a with a thought with a woman And that's what came. That's the easiest way to get him.

That's what got him. That's a cautionary tale right there. Yeah. You know? Like, and it feels like kind of fucked up. Talk about it at a certain point. But it's also like, everybody in L.A. or everybody, period, should see that shit and take notes. That's not how you handle yourself.

Please do not handle yourself. The last thing we need is more kids doing shit like that. When I first start seeing it, I said there's no way. Right. Like, I've never seen this shit down my life. And he was really saying, F people, Dad. homies and it was crazy. If he did make, and he

was weak too, his music because I the video that was trashed. And if you did like make it in the industry, I mean if you did get a buzz how you thought it was no way you was going to make it anyway. So the shit you was doing was just stupid. Once you did somebody did it, it's on forever.

You can't never. He's going to hold community saying, you know, crazy shit. Right. I mean, I feel bad for him. And there's one thing when you see somebody making videos and they're from a neighborhood that has problems with this other neighborhood. They're talking about the other neighborhood. At least we get it. He was talking about everybody

for just cloud reasons. You're going to make the whole city want to kill you. Basically. That's crazy. Cloud is worse than everything now. It's the worst than heroin. It's the worst drug. Because even like, you know, like we was watching the videos with the guys in DMV and stuff like that. Like, they're pulling

up to people's gravesites now. You know what I'm saying? They're taking pictures. They're burning, they're doing all the type of stuff Yeah, bro. And now I feel like the narrative has to change. And I feel like, you know, a black boy passing, that's going to show some kid, like, all right, I don't want to take this step. I'm not going to do that because I felt like stuff was going in the direction. It's like, okay, this was going to get us attention.

This and dead people are going to get us attention. Like, you got to think about it. Now people getting headlines just from this to somebody. Now it's like, all right, boom, that's boosting their rap career. That's launching their stuff. And then from there, they try to move forward and stuff. but they ain't the way to go. I got him to kill quick, too.

Yeah, he didn't really get a chance to make too big of a name for himself before they go. Got him quit. Because I remember telling you right before that shit popped off, I was like, you know, you never really seen somebody from L.A. really make a name for themselves by doing a bunch of viral shit at diss in other people's neighborhoods. It's like you don't really usually happen that way because Gang Bang is so old in L.A., and then he got killed like two days after we had that conversation. But see, like if one of my little homies is doing some shit like that,

I'm gonna beat the dog shit out of them. You don't do that because not only are you doing something dissing everybody else, you bringing the heat to the hood. Now everybody looking at the hood, like, y'all got problems with all of us and shit like that. Like, hell no, I ain't doing that shit. I didn't even know you from L.A. I swear I thought you from, like, the South somewhere. That would have kind of, like, made more sense.

I thought he just came out here. That would actually been smart. That would have been a little bit more logical, right? Yeah, that would be more smart. I thought he just came out here from the South or something. Yeah, no, definitely. Okay, so what about, I realized last night that you've had static with some of the YouTuber commentary community as well. How did you end up getting into it with 1090 Jake?

That's what I want to know. It was a per, I mean, it was an individual. He posted a picture of, I was confused. So I asked him, I'm like, is he a Crip? I mean, is GD Crip or because he had a swastika tattooed on him or some shit like that. Who did? Not 19J. He posted, yeah, he like one of his homies or something.

So I asked him about that and that situation is just escalation. What, he took offense to you inquiring? Pretty much. Probably, yeah. Interesting. Maybe the way I went about it, saying axing. Right.

Damn. But I mean, somebody was Swatzegon, you're allowed to ask a question about that, right? Yeah, no, yeah, like, I was, I was confused because, you know,

I was saying he was like a ZD or a Crip, but I seen like a, like a Swastikun his arm, so I was confused, and I asked. I mean, you know, I don't know better, so,

I asked. Do you view the Nazi shit as, like, they're like a those are your ops like is that do you do you feel as strongly as you do about that as you would like other conflicts that you would have with people yeah I don't like them yeah you got to be the Nazi up here and there right you know it's crazy too like listening to his story like uh rest of peace of my homie DMG I never forget his his mom used to have a lot of foster children and stuff like that and I remember like she had a white boy before and she had a

Mexican and they grew up around us their whole life and it's like you grew up like us you went to the same schools as us you did everything you hopped off the porch with us you're sitting there hitting licks with us you're doing all type of stuff too so like even like listening to milk what he was saying is you know he didn't even know that he was fucking white you just used to you know what I'm saying like then it don't be eventually don't on you okay but now you're starting to get popping on the internet and you got people like not understanding where you're from and they take issue with, for example, you saying the N-word? How do you deal with that kind of criticism?

I mean, like, I know it's different because, I mean, that's where I grew up at. I never had a problem with no. And I just don't say it around my homies. Like, I never had a problem saying it. But I'm saying I do understand what people is saying, you know. I was ignorant back then. But it's just, I don't know, bro. It's just like a word that it's hard.

It's hard. I've been saying that shit forever, bro. My mama, that's what everybody say. I mean, people addressed me as that. Every since I was little. It was in your psyche. Yeah, like every, it was forever, bro. Like, I was adopted at seven days old.

So I didn't grow up with, and then, like, I didn't grow up with a white mother. My mother was black pretty much from, like, birth. Like, if you raise a bear with humans. And if you raise a girl with humans. And that was the line, too, because, like, mind you, house phone put us on your shit. And I started looking at your stuff. And then at first, I'm just like, like, I ain't going to, like, this guy, like, I ain't

going to accept him just saying certain shit and doing anything. I'm like, no, I'm not fucking with that shit. And when I had a personal conversation with you and you broke down everything, I said, you know what, this makes sense because we got homies all through L.A. You feel me? You got white boys from their hood. You got Mexicans from their hood. People say that they hood respects them.

And I've seen niggas like smack. And everybody like, hey, milk, boom. Like the real niggas from over there. Like, okay, I vouch for this. I fuck with them and shit like that. And I'm like, all right, who the fuck am I to sit there and say, okay, won't won't. But my thing is, you know. I mean, I don't know.

Yeah, my thing is is that, you know, now that you're on a bigger platform and you're getting more attention and stuff like that, I think that people are going to be watching you and they're going to use stuff as an example. And, you know, getting your story out there will make sense. Like, you know, let's just say somebody from the woods like you say, you feel me, a little kid or something like. like that. It may see you and say, well, milk says it's cool. It is cool, but it's like, nah, y'all got a different dynamic. You know what I mean? Like, you didn't grow up like this guy did. You didn't grow up in the neighborhoods and stuff like that. And it ain't cool to say. You know what I'm saying? It's like Nav. Nav used to say it. And then at a certain point, it just stopped. If you had too many people getting on his ass about it. I mean, I got to have one person say something

before. One. And that was at a check cashing place, like kind of in my enemies. And I don't even think he's from L.A. And he was older. Check cashing spots in your enemies? It doesn't sound like a good idea. I lived on, where's this? Like the last plate. I lived on, like, right before the gas station on Exposition of Vermont,

like right before A&P. I think that's 30-37th or some shit. So King is like the next intersection, but that's some people that, you know, is like enemies or whatever. But I went in there and me and my girl was playing. You know, my girl black, so. I've seen you guys.

couples channel. Yeah, somebody said something. Oh, I got to see it. I ain't seen it. Oh, yeah, it's cool.

They got, you see his relationship and you're like, man, milk is out here. Somebody, somebody says something. Like,

he, like, like, don't, he like, what you say? He said something because me and my girl

play all day. Like, we play. And, um, he said, don't do that or something. I'm like, what you say?

Um, whatever. I'm like, what you say? And, um, he said something and then it just went from like

me saying a nigga to him. And he like 52, I think. So he wasn't having it. You know, he's mad. You five, I respect it. You know, I mean, I understand it. Like, the, he's, you know, he's older, so, or whatever. But, you know, he's mad and we fought.

It wasn't, it wasn't really over that. I think it was just over, like. Maybe you're having a black girl. Yeah. That's what it be. It really beat because, like, I'm telling you, but I didn't be in front of a lot of people. Like, I'm on a bus, when I used to be on a bus, wherever. But I get into, it's a lot of situations.

Like a lot of eye looks, a lot of situations because of my girl. But you know. Damn, so you feel like you get more heat from being with her. I get more heat from from black males, from white males, from store clerks. Sometimes we can dress a certain way, they probably think we're still in or we up to like. If that was me, like, let's say I'm in line or something like that and I heard I see this guy with a black girl and he's doing that. I'm gonna get on a nigga too. Facts, but you know what I'm saying?

Like, and that's the kind of like with a, what a, what? The thin line is is where it's like, you know, an older guy, like he said, somebody 52 is just like, wait a minute. What the fuck did you, you know what I'm saying? Like they're going to take it that way. But I feel like now since you're getting bigger, you got the responsibility to let people know like, like, listen, this is where I come from. This is what it is. This is why it comes out. Because some people are going to sit there and be like, I don't understand him.

You feel what I'm saying? Or you just got like 15, 16 years old. And then you just hopped into a. gang and then it's just like, you know what I'm saying? Oh, now it's cool to say like, nah, that shit. You know what I mean? No, I'm not old boy. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not old Cameron Terrell.

I knew it. I'm, I'm really not him, you know. I'm, I eventually, you know, I don't even want to talk like that. You know, eventually I'm trying to, you know, grow, but, uh, yeah, man, I don't know. I mean, it's interesting seeing the growth because you are somebody who is sort of building something from YouTube. But the thing is, is that the bigger you. you get, the more and more you're going to have a fan base that goes way outside of even

understanding where you're from or what you grew up around or understanding the fact that, you know, it was acceptable for you to say at a certain point in your life, you know, if you get to a million subscribers, damn near 900,000 of them are not going to understand anything about L.A. Street politics, you know? Yeah, I'm very aware. I didn't already, I didn't already, I didn't already, I didn't already, I didn't already, I'd already be through. Yeah, is it tough getting used to, like, doing so much shit on the internet when you come from such a different world, different rules? Yeah, yeah, I told you it was tough.

That's why, you know, it took me, like, three months to even do it, you know? I one day I'll say I'm going to do it this day, but it took me, like, another three months just to have been, you know, like, recorded video. I mean, it's crazy, too, because, all right, so, like, you'd be having very controversial opinions sometimes about very high-profile people in L.A. I don't even know who I want to like necessarily list off. Don't break nobody up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's definitely people that some people here are cool with and shit. He would, he would send me like, so he sends me all of his videos.

So at first I'm like, I don't post it on milk videos. Then I see certain names. I'm just like, oh, man, here go. Milk has been going in, man. Definitely. But do you, how do you approach that? Do you ever have an opinion about somebody that you don't really want to be known as talking shit about because of some street shit or what?

How often do you end up? censoring yourself. Not a lot. Not a lot. Not a lot, to be honest with you. I mean... I don't think you care. I didn't have videos on everybody.

And it's crazy because I did a video on a rapper. And I did videos on a couple rappers. Not really bad, but just, you know, whatever. Like, if they do some shit, that's kind of weird and I say something about it. Fuck it. It's my opinion. But I had a video kid took down because it was the rapper that got it took down. Really?

Yeah. Damn. I know for sure. Like I'm positive. You don't want to call him out? Huh? You don't want to call him out by name? Oh, it's the, it'll matter.

It's the almighty grubber or whatever his name is. Oh, almighty suspect. Shout out suspect. You was here the other day. So you took issue with him? I didn't really take an issue with him. I just like reacted to a video that I've seen on the internet of him, you know, getting into a situation.

You're right. I'm wondering if it's a video I saw a long time ago that I didn't think ever came out. No, he probably was the album. And they didn't come out because they do everything in a kid. They get it, they do everything they can to, you know, get it knocked off. Right. And it's very hard to get a video knocked off of YouTube. It's not very easy.

Right. Damn. They put some work in. So when somebody does that, somebody gets your video taken down, is it all of a sudden, like, and it's a person from L.A.? Is it all of a sudden, like, an actual beef from your perspective? Not really beef. It's just I know where you at. Like, you know.

It's sensitive, though, because people, People like, you know, just because somebody gives an opinion on something, you could sit there and say, oh, your music is trash. Like, you feel me? Somebody going to be like, man, boy, whoa, whoa, and start popping off and stuff like that. It would be all that. I'll be going through all that. Hmm.

Yeah, I've been through all that, all them phases. I'm going to ask a question as a civilian, as a fan of watching shit, not somebody who's affiliate with any way. You've been very, you've been out spoken to a six nine. You don't fuck with snitches at all. He was running around with people from your area for a while there. Yeah. Thoughts.

I didn't like it. I disagreed. And the person know that I disagreed because it was a video made about that. Yeah, I didn't think that was okay at all. And that was before anybody knew they were snitching. Huh? He was running around.

Yeah, but he was already doing a whole bunch of crazy sheds. And, you know, F everybody in L.A. Whose respect, no real blood got rainbow hair in 6'9? we already knew it wasn't a real gang member. Even before the snitching it was cool. So for somebody to really back him is like crazy. You know, I wouldn't do that shit to have a career. I wouldn't.

Couldn't pay me to fuck with him. But from some, from your perspective, like, I don't know. How do you handle that when it's like people that you know run around with him? Yeah, but it really has nothing to do with me because it's different areas. I mean, it's all the same thing, but you know, it's different sets. Different sets. So at the end of the day, it really does. It don't boil down to me.

That's just my opinion. You understand? I didn't like it. You know, it is what it is. Like, that shit was horrible. Then it was a lot of fakery going on. Like, they just riding around. But when it come out in a church van and, you know, like, you couldn't even tell it was nobody in there.

So it was a lot of, I don't know. I wouldn't participate if they're not. I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't. But, you know, clout once again, you know, like. Cloud and payola, man. Dangerous drugs. Yeah. I mean, all money and good, buddy.

Hey, shit ain't. but I know that like you know for the right price you don't know me to take your life where we come from so yeah I mean it ain't real no you know there's not too many people that stands on principles and loyalty when it comes down to that like you know what I mean

y'all don't yeah I feel you um is there anything else that you've been working on anything coming up that people need to know about or anything? Probably about to uh probably about to do a little like a little couple of songs yeah

had you having you music out at all. I was wondering that. I did some before. Did some with the homie over there, you know, did some shit. But I'll probably do something like that. Interesting. Take the YouTube Cloud flip it to a music career? I'm still with you that too. Now I don't want a music. That's why you're building the subscribers there too. He's like, you slide it in there. You know, AD got a studio. So he could be engineering your shit. I can't engineer nothing. You might be able to do it. You don't know. Yeah, I'm trying to learn the engineer though for show for show. Yeah, that's probably it. You feel me? Something like that. Man, I feel

eyes are limit just do it all bro i like youtube though it's cool money is whatever in the beginning yeah the money is don't don't ask him that he's rolling and do over here nah i mean five five six years of working my ass off he'll eventually come on rolling and do over here not this guy like to be honest like what i thought it was going to be it wasn't that's why that lady went in there and did what she did because oh it shot the youtube headquarters up

Because she said she said she had a video with 300,000 views and only got 10 cents. But see, that's just like music. Like people think independent because I've been independent from the jump. It took years and years and years to get a nice enough check to sustain a living. You're not about to just make a couple songs and be able to just take care of yourself. Like, nah, you got to put that in, put that in, put that in. And it's like you said, YouTube, same way. It takes time.

And I look at even now, like, even with the No Jumper channels, probably like 15, 20 videos a week, probably even more of something is going on and stuff like that, too. Yeah, they create a fucking machine in order to put this much content out. But I'll tell you what, is that after that lady shot up YouTube, that was immediately after they cut everybody's ad rates. And I myself went, I think we had our best month ever at that time. We made like 50,000. And then the next month was 5,000. Yeah.

That shit hurt. That shit made me feel like somebody just ran in my crib and took everything I own, man. That shit, all right. That was tough. So when I heard about her shooting the shit up, I was like, get it, girl. I almost did a video on her, but it was too late. Yeah, I felt bad saying that. Take it back.

Don't shoot up YouTube headquarters. Don't do that. But also YouTube, respect your motherfucking creators. I know that was like five years ago, but still. No, but I like how your videos are consistent. Because now, like, you know, when I first watched one video, I subscribed to it. So now, and then you send it to me too. So I'm like, I, bro is, he on it.

He's doing it. He's doing it. And that's consistent. He's just like music. It's just like, keep doing. Yeah. I just been kind of tired. I used to do three a day.

Yeah, like three or four a day I gotta get back on that Can it be hard to find shit that you really give a shit enough about to commentate on, right? Not really, it's just dependents Like some of it, you know, like The reaction

He'll talk about the street shit Yeah, that nobody's talking about. He has no filter, he'll talk about whatever. And then it's like the react You know, and videos don't They don't get paid and shit But I do them just because it's funny as hell, you know?

Like it's just, I kind of like it So I go find them, I search for him. You know, I got the spots to go And, um I got some sites for you. Yeah, I get them. But some of them I can't, you know, because YouTube. Too much violence.

That's why I was surprised sometimes. I'm about telling what the other side. But they took hoodside down. You're just sitting there blurring it out. Because it don't exist anymore. You're probably the reason why it's gone. It might be able to get... Yo, this is a site where you can see like a Colombian drug lord get his face cut off

and they're dangling the face around and shit. I mean, but it's crazy because I see way... I see worse stuff on YouTube than the stuff I post. I do. And it's still there. I'm watching you talk about Frosty the Snowman doing a little bit of this and shit. And I'm like bro, I would never put that video in one of our videos because the shit would get flagged immediately But I'm like man must be nice being milk because he can kind of skate a little bit his channel's not that huge yet

Not I don't it don't when they monetize it it don't do shit but be yellow Hmm that's real I mean they tried to like I mean what do you call it like 18 or plus the couple videos Yeah the age restriction of kill it and I mean we just put out a fucking vlog that got restricted just because somebody hits the fucking bong in it. Are you fucking kidding me? I smoke all day in it, though. I used to think it was because I was smoking that it wasn't monetizing. But that's not true.

Yeah. That's the title, I think. Oh, title is huge. And if you have violence in the video, a lot of times they can tell, like the computer can tell before they even review it. And then even on top of that, like, we smoke on every interview and we're normally fine, but like we've had interviews where there's a pound on the table. That gets it.

Because when you're just smoking a blind, they can't really prove what's in it. I think that normally they'll let that fly, you know. This is a PCP blunt. Fuck out of here. Milk. Anything else that we should know? Music coming soon. Yeah, music coming soon.
