Like, you know, it's still like, like, like, niggas got his back and shit like that. So, I mean, you don't need to get put on if you ain't been put on already, like. Also, it's too late. Too late. Oh, it's too late. Too late.

So he would be like a old, like, if he got put on right now, it'd be weird. I don't think people would fuck with him if we got put on now. Yeah, because it is a lot of rap. Too late in the game? Yeah, no. I mean the niggas be used a little different shit in rap.

That's why I said, I can't rap now because the nigger on YouTube. Like you said, you know, your girl and you used to look at me. So if I was to have rap beef, I'd be fucked. Yeah. Your niggas would kill me. That rap beef shit week, though. That shit don't go nowhere. You down with it?

I ain't never rap beef with nobody. Have ever did somebody in the song? No. Yeah, if I did this a nigga in the song, it'd be like two pock in a month. Would you beef with rappers before? I mean, in the streets. That's not rap. So Rootie against this tracks.

Yeah, I don't fuck with this tracks. That's right. We had your dope stuff. We ain't doing none of that. I want to talk to you, like, you know.

It ain't no beef. Adam is, like, like, I pay attention to everything Adam do. He's super dope. You know what I'm saying? Shout to Adam, you feel me? But he don't follow me, right? Yeah. And it was like around the time when Draco got out.

I don't know it's because of that. But I don't know what I'm saying? I just want to highlight him. But that's it, though. I like talking to people. I like figuring it out before. anything else. Yeah.

Yeah. Shout to Adam. I mean, when you came over here and you did the interview with Gina, you know what I'm saying? You and Chike was like, you know, this shit is going to be like this shit is going to stay on the internet. This is it. It's on the internet and that's where it's at. But, you know, later on, a nigga actually died. You feel me?

Like, how does that, you know what I'm saying, affect you looking at that shit? Like, this is where rap can actually take a nigga. We're trying to get out the streets and this is where this shit is going. First and foremost, that shit, not tight at all. That shit is not something I ever made fun of or I ever thought was a joke or when it happened that was, you know, once my friend, you know what I'm saying? So when it happened, it's like, I wouldn't say I was really hurt,

but I did, like, it did, like, slap me in the face on something. Like, this shit could be taken away from you fast as a motherfucker. You know? One day we seen them shining. Next thing we seen it done. And it was just like, that's not a good feeling. And then I thought about me. I thought about his son.

I thought about my son. I'm growing. I'm growing. That's it. I think I just learned day by day. Even when it happened, I just had to be more mature to anything. Yeah, because life is so crazy. When I'm, you know, especially on the West Coast.

Yeah, I don't never say nothing. And I don't say nothing. I don't say nothing. I don't say nothing back to nobody who say anything. to me ever ever I don't never say nothing back to nobody fans I don't nothing you for what I'm saying I want to control my narrative

I like I don't want to argue back with these people we all know what's up you know like it and they know like sugarcoting it and I don't want to get mixed into like the rappers that's not fucking real bro do a piece of that like just with that situation period make you think of like ways that something of that sort could have been

prevent it because like being that you was you know you played a part in it not played a part in that but you feel what I'm saying I feel like I played a part with even me covering the beef from way 2015 and found out they played the shit in court and I was just like it was telling for me because I'm like damn did it in my in my supporting this type

of shit and you know like so do a part of that make you feel like fuck like maybe if I would have did this then you know like maybe shit could have been reconciled super self like sufficient and honest for myself. Hell yeah. It do make me feel like that like,

like, I wish a lot of shit wouldn't have went how I went for sure. You know, do L.A. politics, like, do you, are you at a point in your career where you feel like, naga, L.A. politics is just,

like, holding you back from different shit because, because to me, you know, I'll be, I'm living this life too, and I feel like, I'm trying to stray away from that shit.

I'm God. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, it is like really much I can say, but I'll be, I'll be trying to show it up here, you feel me, like I'm trying to show it up here. You did that, though. Like I said, you're from Hoover, bro. Yeah. That's a most hated gag.

Oh, God. You did that. But you know, I'm trying to do that. Yeah. I want to get, I want that same respect. I want people to know that, you feel, I am from on front. But at the end of the day, bro, I've seen this shit with my own eyes. Everybody know, bro, I've been from my husband as I was born.

You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. I think you're doing it too, though, because you do a good job of, like, kind of staying neutral. You don't be in no bullshit. You ain't got no, you ain't got no, niggas ain't saying nothing about you being a bitch. You know, like, I think that you do a great job. I promise y'all, I'm chilling. I want my daddy to say calm out there.

Yeah. That's all I want. You know what I'm saying? And first thing, no matter how old I get the first thing to hear about his sons, he's going to go crazy. Mm-hmm. You feel me? My little brother got shot in his head. He wasn't out here.

He don't. I don't want to. him to come back, you know what I'm saying? He needs to tell. I want to keep myself out of all that bullshit. I don't fuck with it. What's your take on festivals? Yeah, like, you know, with security,

and we've seen the Travis Scott shit once upon a time in L.A. Like, how you feel that you and your people need to be approaching these festivals now? Head on, all eyes open. It's proofing to putting that this shit not as safe as they're making it, you know? what I'm saying. I just hope they do a better job. That's it. And why the fuck hip hop got to be like that?

Hip hop. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Why the fuck hip hop got to be like that? Why we got to watch our back? Why we got to see what's going on and doing all that? Why we can't walk freely amongst each other? Man, because I didn't have been a rock concerts and they literally socking each other in the

middle of the fucking crowd and go home friends. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do it all types of shit. Right back cool. It's hip hop in.

Hip hop though man I don't know I don't think we ever gonna get out of that Yeah, I think certain people though you know just take certain people like to control your crowd that's all I just I want to control my crowd my homies get on Twitter say I don't they delete that fool we are not doing that totally no yes man in the circle hell no y'all buff man that's my my right hand like if I can give them the world right now I give it to him you know what I'm saying I don't want nobody to belitter their self. I would have told everybody to pull up

and actually get to see no jumping for themselves because they talk about it all day. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, you know, yes, man. And I want to go back in time, like I said, I was looking at your dog. And I just, I want to know, I really want to know who midget is.

Because, you know what I'm saying? I want to hear, talk about midgett because they bring midget up a lot, but we ain't sure. sharing nothing about midget midget is from neighborhood power yeah that is my name when I was fresh out the womb that's my nickname the moniker everybody knows me is that it's the golden town who gave you that name pop my dad yeah they said I just came out looking like a little butterball turkey like a little midget yeah and I was I didn't hear the growth for like 16 type

Yeah, my dad, like, was around as much as possible, but the homies raised me too.

They're talking about he might get out, but I don't believe shit until I see it. Yeah, for sure. You feel me? But my uncle, really, when I was three years old, I was rapping with my uncle. So, yeah, for him. Oh, let's share some light on Sean Mack. I want to share.

I'll be separating him from a lot of things, though. But I want to share some line on him because I got homies that died that I felt like, you know, did a lot for me. And, you know. Sean is the biggest thing that ever happened to Rootie. Yeah, and some people, it'll affect you in a bad way or a good way. And I felt like he affected you for the greater, you know what I'm saying? Good. So I want you to, you know, do some stories about it.

All right, he always put me first, first of all. So when I was doing my own thing, like, rapping by myself, they were like, they was in the hood, talking about midger rapping and shit. They wouldn't even call me Rootie. They're like, midger rapping and shit. But they're like, nah, we can't have them around. Pop's gonna be old and it's like don't be having them around or whatever so they they wasn't fucking around with but Sean like oh fuck little broke ass and he like he gonna do it all

but Sean was always out of town always yeah no matter what he was out of town just always gone making some money he said when I come back this when he was actually on the row ice burgundy and brick squad and out there and shit fucking with them he's like when I come back we're gonna do a joint tape and I'm like I said I don't believe shit in ties And this is somebody who I always want to hang out with. Like, we're a year apart, but like I said, my dad, like I had to go in a house at a certain time. You feel what I'm saying?

These niggas, I go to school. I can't even hang out with him. Like, my dad not having that, you feel me? So I always want to be around Sean. Like, always, him and Newvey. I'm like, I want to be with them. So when they first, like, he's like, we're gonna do the city.

He came back, we did a song. Bullshit the whole session. You know this, Nick's Sean, Gina. Yeah. He bullshit at the whole session. We did one song. I did probably like five songs about him. I said he did one song.

He's like, that's the one. We got to put it out. Like, nigga, like, put it out. The hood loved it. They're like, oh, shit. Like, he's like, this is Mac Rootsy, bro. This is what we gonna do. You feel me?

I'm gonna put you first, though. You know what I'm saying? Like, put the money into it. Like, whatever. Like, this gonna be you, though. You know what I'm saying? You always told me that. Like, this is going to be you, bro.

Like, you're gonna be the one. So I just be like, nigger. Like, you are my favorite rapper right now. Like, what do you mean? I'm going to be the one. And then we did the shit together, and he brought the best out of me, bro. He made me rap like I never rap before. I remember Gina came in a studio session at a red room before.

It was like, like, Rootsie, like, you better rap this nigga Sean on you. And I'm like, that's already my big brother. Like, you know what I'm saying? You already, you already. You feel me? They had me pressure. I remember sweating. I ain't never sweated in the booth before, man.

I was in there like, oh, no. But that shit pushed me to the next level. But it was just him. He was just... Wasn't that some of your best verses that came out of there? Hell yeah. And he pushed him out of you. That nigga did his shit, man.

That nigga... He didn't really everything to me. To this day, Domino effect is still one of the hardest things that has ever come out of the West Coast. Yeah. And that was you? Sean. Sean Draco and AJ Swole.

Yeah, that shit. The video fired. Everything was just fucking amazing. And I was there when y'all did it. And at that moment, so much shit was right here. Like, everything was, like, low-key together. It was so many mixed crowds. Like, I don't know where shit went.

Like, I think it was, it was united. We was coming to a place where L.A. was finally kind of coming together. And then, you know, shit happens, politics and shit. But whatever. But now, I signed back, yeah, for sure. Sean was one of the people that I feel like we've been watching each other, you know, our whole damn career from both of us starting. But Sean and just me seeing your growth was one of the people that really had a lot invested into you. Like, not just financially, like his energy.

I remember he was mad because you didn't get your hair down one day. What? And I was mad as fuck. We got a photo shoot. And he told me, he said, Gene, I need you to pull up right now. We're from to go to the studio. We're going to do this. Go do that.

So I get there. He's like, man, we can't even do nothing today because this nigga Rootie don't got his hair done I'm trying to find somebody to break his hair. He was so mad at you. I was like a bone thugs type of a nigga. I don't get to fuck. Like, I'm gonna come as is, you know what I'm saying?

Like I said, like now I can do for myself. Back then I was just thugging like. Yeah. Wow, hair is cold though, Loki. You know what I'm saying? Now, but Sean had to curl, so he was all about like the fresh, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

So I'm like, oh, my God, like this, nigga tripping. But he always was like that. Y'all used to put in a lot of hours, too, I feel like, because I'll get off work and come to the studio, and I remember you niggas would not let me leave, and I had to go to school. They're through hours. Yes.

You had to go to school? I would be getting off of work, pulling up on them, then I'd have to go to school the next day, and they used to be like, no, you got to stay the whole day. You really used to be Sean. And we had this day and, like, six in the morning. Yeah. How long you, how long you do these niggas?

I've been on Roos. I've been knowing them since high schools. Your mama note. My mama knows. We grew up in school. This was like, this was college eating at Mrs. School, man. We're glad to watch you. No, that was college.

Mm-mm. Nah. No. You ain't given it to the coolest podcast in a row? Now, my life's a movie, though. I mean, you go tune into my live at 3 in the morning, you'll see. Yeah?

Yeah. I, too, I like your, uh, what you were saying about your granny to you. Miami at this nigga Duno mom too. Duno, shout out to Duno. Yeah, shout out to Duno because he's like, my mom, she's stuck in her way, she want to do this, she want to work, and she want to catch the bus. Yeah. And she want to do that.

That's it. Leave her alone. That was two years ago. My granny's still doing that. Right now, that's crazy. She don't like driving in cars. With a cane. Yeah.

Catching the bus. To work. Every day. And she's a housekeeper. She worked for like, I don't even know what celebrity she worked for right now, to be honest. but they take so, like, they take care of her, like, real good care of her, you know what I'm saying? And, yeah, she's still thugging to this day.

She just, I think she's just going hard for my uncle. Her son, that's her baby boy. Like, that was her, anybody do something wrong. If he do something wrong, she's blaming on everybody else. Like, she'll never get mad at my uncle, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So that's her baby boy. So when he got taken away to prison, you feel me, she's just like, I got, I got to, I got to

give him whatever he need like you know what I'm saying shout to Arion too he paid for my uncle lawyer oh that's crazy so mom do moms go over there I mean his mom goes you see your dad no my grandma not going I'm not going she's not going I think she probably got like bad memories just from Central America period just her growing up because she grew up during the Civil War and all that oh damn that's crazy she came out here yeah she always do she just She just always tell me like she's seeing a lot of people she love get taken away from her. So, and I always stop her right there because that really get her emotional type of shit. But, yeah, my grandma, she's been hired for a minute.

She got my dad out here. That niggily was straight the game bang. Did you ever learn Spanish? Yeah, I know Spanish. You know Spanish fluently. I don't know Spanish fluently. But when I talk to my grandma, I know what she's saying to me. Don't you guys like a Spanish song?

That's hard. Huh? Don't you got a Spanish song? Yeah, but that's something I really want to do is get the Latino culture because I have a lot of Hispanic fans. My name is Juan Carlos Martinez Jr. Why not? Do anybody ever tell you that you're not putting on for them? No, I make sure I always do something for my Hispanic fans. That's why I just did the single DiMayo show too. Just to really touch base with them. I'm from El Salvador, but I love my Hispanics, period.

Yeah, because you kind of kind of do got to like, you know, serve some type of, you know, loyalty over there to that side too, you know what I'm saying? Especially with grandma pops or whatever the case may be. And they just, I feel like they buy all my tickets. Yeah, they do it anyway. That's who buying all the tickets at the shows. That's who selling out the shows for sure. Like I said, shout out to the Latinos. They really like when they cut of music, West Coast music, they really love us.

And I don't think a lot of you understand that like, they're still playing Tupac like it's a new song. Yeah, I'm God. You feel me? Going crazy with it too. So I love shots are Latinos for sure. Man, I didn't ask this shit probably. This is my third interview asking it.

I don't give a fuck because one nigga sat here and said, I'm gonna say the same thing all over again. I didn't know where you're going. But like, think you said the same thing three times. I'm like, they're sagin. And I couldn't believe it. That nigga said Kendrick album was trash. And I just I couldn't believe

So I just want to know how you feel about you know what I'm saying Today shit that dropping you know and Kendrick album How you feel about that? I'm playing with I put you on the song Yeah I fuck with it I ain't gonna lie And like I said I'm growing

You guys still I don't fucking listen to Nothing Verooti like in old music You feel me I'm talking about old music like My favorite song right now Tell me, Groove Theory. Like, I just been listening to that every day. I don't know why. But it just fired me.

But Kendrick album is dope. Future album is dope. I like, I'm starting to pay attention more. You know what I'm saying? I got a good ear for music, too. I'm not, I don't box myself in. But I fuck with that shit like a motherfucker, Kendrick is like goaded for show.

Yeah, for sure. You had just did that freestyle. And on the freestyle, the caption on your post, you said, if it ain't off the top of the dome, take your ass home. Yeah. Do you, like, lack respect for people who pass in their freestyle's office freestyles when they really ridden?

I was just talking shit in that comment, but at the same time. You don't write your music. Yeah, and I got all these niggas on the same shit. Like, if you feel it, come on, bro. Like, fuck that, bro. We got time. Yeah. We got time.

We got nothing but time. I was just in the studio when you were RJ, and y'all both did that shit right off the top. So what is the process, though, like going in the booth and just don't, everybody's not able to. go in a booth and freestyle like that and make a hit. Y'all bring me vibes, right? So if I have sessions tonight,

y'all have, like, I'll talk about I came in no jumper, how I fuck we broke, turn it into something else. You know what I'm saying? I think it's just words like, I think about words all day, like just random words.

Like, I actually was paying attention to Wayne. Wayne said he'd be going back and doing the, the, and like, or saying bitch or bitch. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's why I be doing that. Like I said, I don't go record a thousand songs no more.

So now I'm really, like, thinking about the shit I'm saying. Like, I don't know, like, are they going to like this or not? But, like, on some, like, catchy shit, bro. Like, I want to be, like, timeless. I want people to remember my shit. Like, I'm not going to just flood you with all these bars because I'm not that type of rapper, you know what I'm saying? I know what they want now.

So that's what I give them. Yeah, Wayne was saying that shit. He was like he asked him would you ever stop rapping he was like I'm gonna stop rapping when I stopped thinking about words Yeah you know when I was growing up I said I'm gonna start rapping at 30 what to I think that I don't think that though not hell no you gotta keep now we're getting a damn close to 30 huh but everybody 30 though I mean I'm 28 years old bro oh yeah you're fin to get up there yeah it's so it's where you go yeah yeah I'm like 30 years man and so we got two more years man and so we got two more years man hanging up man yeah man nah i'm gonna do a big man

That's something I do admire, though, like, even like niggas like that, like future, like, or even like a two-chames. I like that shit, bro. Like, these niggas still keep their own swag and their own, like, you know?

And that's because they got that confidence at that age, you know what I'm saying? Even if for the young niggas, I like that shit. Yeah. But I like seeing you, like coming here, icy and shit like that. I want to see more of my West Coast rappers do that shit. Yeah, when y'all get older, I want y'all to help the young niggas and still be icy. Like, because I be seeing New York niggas, like, look at Puff. Look at, look at Nause.

Like, these niggins are still icy running the street, bust and run. Like, yeah, I'm like, damn. Like, tell Mac 10, like I said, like, so, bro, like. Yeah. I feel like we've been talking about that for year. That nigga Mac 10 still ain't tapped in? That shit, low-key, like, different. I don't know.

I really want to know how it was when he was the biggest thing inga would. Yeah. I want some advice. I want to, that's like, come on, bro.

You know what I'm saying? with me do it up like I be seeing niggas all these niggas from the south all these niggas from the south got money all these niggas from the south is helping each other like that shit just looks sick and then we get over here we can't we don't know where these niggas at yeah we don't know how niggins living like i want to see rick ross niggas y'niggas show a nigga house dj

but where that they got? Yeah well him yeah yeah do um because we was talking about it yesterday about how like OGs and people in the industry need to do a better job like he was just saying and tapping in with the younger generation

but I want to give RJ his flowers because I remember when me and you, I was thirsty for RJ interview at one of them shows. He was opening up for him. I still got the picture of us and we was, we was politicking on just being that. Like, you know, RJ was performing, AV was performing, and now you're doing musical with RJ. What's the relationship?

I don't think RJ was like, to me and Boston him was like, God, bro, I ain't going to even like. Yeah. I used to, he used to like, actually I was sitting at Wee Jamming one day, and he hopped out and he walked by me, and he said, they've been telling me about you, and that nigger really talked to me for like an hour about my dad and all the type of crazy shit, right? And then after that, he would invite me to all the shows.

Like, he was selling everything. Like, you come back and say, I would still buy tickets. I just wanted to see him perform. I didn't want to go be back there. Back backstage, yeah. I wanted to see him perform. even after that, like I still never did no musical to him, like, nothing.

He just reached out to me and was just like, bro, you fuck with me, bro. I want to extend my hand. And that's one of the realest niggas I met. That nigga, one of the most realest, genuine niggas out here. Because he just hit me up, too. Like, what's up, my nigga? I'm just checking on you.

And one of the most talented. I don't know why. I still don't know why I was asleep, but I'm going to get back. He called me this morning. Like, that was my, like, I just told him. I'm like that nigga called that shit crazy to me still. I know the feeling.

That shit crazy. But somebody that you used to look up to be tapped in with you is like that shit is wild. And we gotta let people know that too. Like him like him like flowers. You know that like Joe Moses. Yep.

Joe Moses reached out. He had me rocking early. You know what I'm saying? We fucked up a lot of shit for Joe Moses on some me and Sean just bringing a hundred blood of red rags to our shows and like really local. Sean had some fire-ass songs with Joe Moses, too.

For sure, because Joe Moses was fucking with the young niggas back then, you know? And still to this day, shout to Joe Moser, you know, B.G. fucking Perico. Yes. Bro. That's like a... I'm talking about he'll pull up on him right now, like, just to talk about me. Like, you know what I'm saying? He always shout me out, so I want to shout him out, too.

You fuck with a nigga, bro. But, yeah, like, I think we got those... We got those people, bro. Yeah, we just got to respect them more. Yeah, we got those people we got And y'all younger too because the people we do respect like they're not paying attention You know what I'm saying that's facts yeah and I like that you gave Joe Moses this flowers there's a lot a lot of other motherfuckers need to give him his flowers as people kind of like Don't be appreciating what he was doing back then even though niggas feel like it ain't a lot to them

And it's a lot fucking crazy, it's a lot a lot of people leaving Joe Moses out the conversation and that's crazy to me I'm not. And he, I feel like he wanted a pioneers of this West Coast shit. Yeah. Ratchet.

Mm-hmm. Ratchet. For sure. Yeah, I mean, he's the only one to go up with, with R.J,

you know what I'm saying? He went ahead and the head on the verses. Like, he might probably be one the only nigg that could do that. I mean, besides YG.

I mean, YG is YG, YG is YG. YG is our YG. You know what I'm trying. Like that's all of all. Like, yeah, you know,

that's who we. Yeah. I still want to see the YG and Tiger versus though. I think that's the one I need to happen. IG and Tiger versus? Yeah, I think that's the one I need to happen. I like that.

I like that. I like that. That's crazy. Hey, y'all pay her for this too. Yeah. Pay me. And this is what I do. I make niggas rap.

That's crazy. I make these niggas rap. All right. That's crazy. Damn. YG might lose that one. Slight-Aid tiger. What?

I don't know. He might lose that one. I don't know if the whole. At late tuned in, though? I think it would be close. I think the YG have to go back to. He got to play. He got to go back.

Just served up joints. Yeah. Yeah. Because Tiger joints from back then, I don't think they can even add up to what YG was doing during the jerk movement and all that time. He went a certain way early, though. Yeah. Yeah, he was trying to separate itself and then he came back. And then he came back.

The will does, the mixtakes. Crazy. And don't let him bring out that. What? What was it called? Friend of a fan? Fan of a fan? Yeah.

I mean, yeah, you know what? That's when he was kicking a nigg in their mouth. Yeah. If we go L.A., YG won by last lie. I mean, if we're going all the way,

if you're going just like, in general, America, and they do a versus, Tiger's going in probably, you know what I'm saying? I have no opinion. I ain't going to lie.

I think my slat-a-old. All in all, it'll be a great-ass show. Yeah, that's crazy. It'll be a great-ass show. They can take that to the state, Center. Let me host it.

Yeah. Oh, Brypto. It's called Ripto. Brito. Not Brifto Arena. He's called Brifto Arena now. No, that's the staple center for like, got the game. Fucked up. They changed the day, man. Inglewood got everything now, too, though.
