The Sharp Tank.
No jumper.
Sharpest, coolest podcast in the world.
And today, I got my man back.
He'd been here before.
You did one with Adam.
I see you did one with Adam, May, which, by the way, it was dope.
But I got Andre Truth back in the sphick today, man.
In a Sharp Tank.
Yeah, man.
You're in the tank with me, man.
Let's do what it do.
Full of game.
So where's your background, man?
Tell me a little bit about your background.
I want to hear from, you know, you telling another.
brother, because I know it's always a little different, you know, when you get to sit with one of your kinds.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Give me a little bit of background on you.
Man, I was, man, moms, I'm definitely a child of the game, you know what I mean?
So, moms, the whole parental unit was in the game.
Everything you think of, I'm a child of that.
So they was getting it.
Product of that.
Yeah, they was getting it.
For sure.
For sure.
So moms had me on the West.
Mons from California moms took me to Washington, born in Washington, took me back to California, took me to New Orleans.
back to California, back to Washington.
Mom went to the pen.
I was in New Orleans.
She moved around so much for them.
Because mom's in the game.
It's a trip because I look at, I know we got similar.
I'm a little older than you, but we got similar backgrounds when to get to a point in life
of dealing with the game with different things.
So my mom now that I look back on it, my mom was like one of these girls I'm looking at now,
like, oh, you know what I'm saying?
When I some years ago, I might have been interested to doing some type of business with.
And if she was the type that, I'd be like, well,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, look here, I'm going to need you to drop your son off.
You know what I'm saying?
If not, then I'm a babysitter.
Right, right, right, right.
I really wasn't interested in being a babysitter.
So I see how my mother, you know, as much as we glorify our mothers,
like, I love my mom, my mom lace me with a lot of game.
But I look at it now, and that's our mom, my mom, I'm looking like,
hey, mom, you was out here, you know what I'm saying, twisting it.
The only thing is I can say from you, I didn't see you piz-nay and all kind of disnudes.
You feel me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, my so-called pops, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
and other than that, she had people,
but I would notice the differentiation
of when people came over, how they were set up.
So they wasn't up in there, yeah, woo, woo,
but running, so I give her that.
Even in retrospect, now that I know what was going on.
Back to what you were saying, back to what you were saying,
like with the, you know, with a woman,
like just with your mom teaching you a lot.
Believe it or not, man, you know, in life,
women gonna teach you a lot of things,
positive or negative.
I mean, that's just what I think it come with, man.
You know, I can't say I've ever really
learn too much from man.
Yeah.
Like, just, like, learning, like, something that, like, just how women, because women got
a lot of women with women that I knew back in the day had a lot of patience.
Yeah.
You know, I had patience and understanding.
You know what I'm saying?
So you get around them type of characters, man, that shit has a sense to rub off on you.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
There's the people who've been through it.
Yeah.
And they, my mom came from that 70s game.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little different.
When we, everybody, like, I'll break down people with, they didn't understand the West because
I say, well, if you break down movies,
we had colors, men and his boys in the hood in LA.
They had the Mac in the back.
You know what I mean?
My mom was from Oakland.
You know what I mean?
So it's a different upbringing where it's still gangsters and Macs
in both demographics.
Facts, facts, facts.
But it's like this is the Mac in every year.
We got Mac in here too, but it was this, this the G-shed.
And it's still G-shed there.
But you know what I'm saying?
Like the mentality, you'll find a little boy here.
What's up, Cubs?
What's up?
Blood there.
What's happening, bitch?
Yeah.
What's had an Lee?
He's 12 years old talking to a grown-ass woman.
You know what I'm saying?
without any type of guidance because that's what he's seeing.
You know, first time I went out,
and I came from South Central, man,
went on the track in the 90s, man.
I was in San Francisco.
I was with Drew Down.
Me and Drew Down hit the track,
and it was like 90.
I want to say 94.
You know what I'm saying?
94.
And 20s wasn't even out yet
because I was on 18-inch interiors
and his BMW touring wagon at the G-Homies
had me in while we was working on my album.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
But we in the Bay, and me and Drew hit the track,
and my homeboy him from Richmond,
from South Richmond, from the Manor.
We had to track, and I hadn't experienced that type of he's naive,
he's naive knowing at that pissing.
It was 30, 40 different females and women on each corner on Oferro and Geary in San Francisco.
I seen the police smoking cigars on the corner tolerating it.
I seen shuttles of women pulling up, you know what I'm saying?
And I seen Mackin and full on pimping on the blade.
You know what I mean?
You got to think about it.
Back then, excuse me, people think that even,
back then like oh man you know motherfuckers just making a couple dollars for their rooms
motherfuckers just trying to survive i think when they start getting pissed off is when they start
seeing that motherfuckers was living better than them that's when it became a problem man when
you know you're going to bust a motherfucker and he got seven houses yeah eight nine different cars
you're ready to turn it all over in different cities you know what i'm saying and things like
that's going to make any other that's going to make any person jealous i don't give a fuck if they
the law whoever they is man it's going to make a motherfucker turn the nose that you
especially something that they can't understand, really they just can't do.
Facts, big facts, and advice be one of them.
They really be the ones, hey, when they come crashing in people's doors.
You're not supposed to have nothing bigger than them?
No.
Nothing flier than them.
Hold on.
This is backwards.
It's a turn.
And don't have a woman from their community.
Oh, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, my gosh.
They own you.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I'm going to tell you it was a trip then because I literally had blue chucks and
Blackies and Blue World Bands on the track and got chin nose.
You know what I'm saying?
First time, I had already been doing stuff.
That's another story in high school because somebody was out of female that was doing what she was doing on her own and put me up.
You know what I'm saying?
I didn't know where it was coming from.
She was, you know, I was like, okay.
You see how it started for you?
That's why I went back to saying like the woman, man, she's going to teach you a lot even when you don't really see it.
You know, she's going to always try to give you her game.
Because somebody going to see something in you that you might be too, not mature enough to see in yourself yet.
But the funny thing is I was born in the game.
So it was one of the situations where it was like, okay, I know I got this, but I didn't even want it.
You know what I mean?
That was what it, my family tree,
because this is the drug dealer, thugs and killers.
You know what I'm saying?
And Max and Pips and screaming, fuck, they feel us.
For real, though.
So that, I wanted to aspire to do something greater.
But once the shit hit the fan and somebody was bringing me,
you know what I'm saying?
That Gwitnop.
Yeah, it's different, man.
It's different, man.
It's supposed to do.
It hits different.
It hits different than anything.
When I was playing it, loved one, it gives you a different type of feeling
than drugs, selling drugs, robin.
Yeah.
Stealing whatever the case may be that people go out and they get them adrenaline rush.
Because you see people that are kleptos, it's an adrenaline rush.
To steal something in front of you, you know what I'm saying?
Like it's an adrenaline rush.
So to touch that kind of money and you know it coming fast cash, man, I don't care what it is.
It's something that you just, hey, use your mouthpiece for?
Man.
Come on, man.
Like, it definitely does.
It gives you a different perspective, man, on what the fuck going on in life.
And like you said, dealing with different vets in the game and being young.
and growing up and having a certain tone
that I was like, okay, this is what I'm doing.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm on this, I'm a rip with Maggie Dex.
I'm a young Mac. Okay, this is who I am
because of this aspect. I've been
through the streets that are banging,
the streets that are slanging and seeing the G.
Homies do shit. I left the country, made
it. I had to aspire to do something else, so I
got it to the tree, still doing my music, doing everything.
But when somebody came at me, it was
a position. You're taking a 20-year-old
young man 19 years old, 18 years old,
and somebody bringing you a level
of money that you can't even turn.
down.
In your teens at that.
And I've said this before, man.
I say this shit all the fucking time because it's funny that you hear this shit in
people's stories.
Everybody that I've gotten to meet with, don't come from money.
No.
Don't come from bread.
So when you come from getting a pair of shoes once a year, you had to wait until Christmas
or something to get another pair, you know, to, now you can go buy and you can obtain
almost anything that you want to go grab, you know, you're going to buy a five, six pair.
You never had it before.
So now you're trying to catch up on the shit you never had, man.
When you be seeing the niggas walking out the ball with four, five,
you, hey, man, he's just trying to catch up.
Bro.
He ain't happy, man.
I'll tell you, hey.
He's trying to catch up from the time he didn't have it.
Tommy, they had a long way from putting the paint on the shoes.
When we had the black and the white paint, when we had the one pair of shoes.
Hell yeah.
I remember the first time.
That was that fucking, uh, that whiteout out.
The white out shit.
Yeah, the whiteout and the whiteout in the blackout.
It was like Palmer's or somebody made that shit.
It came in a white bottle.
We squeezed it and had the little sponge.
The little sponge.
And everybody knew because everybody used it.
So it wasn't like we was in a different situation where everybody wasn't using it.
Right.
You know, I trip, bro, the first time I went to Louis Vuitton and bought something.
I remember the first time I walked in to Louis Vuitton years ago, I was with Nipsey.
Me and Nip walked in on Jayceon on game at the Beverly Center.
This is years ago.
And I remember I was having a difference of opinion with him at the time.
And I walked in with a different energy.
And Nip was like, bro, don't trip.
I was like, okay.
So I walked in.
them niggas was up in there falling with the champagne.
I had never did that yet.
I'm in there saying, oh, now this is years ago.
You was ready to folk a little bit.
Man, what?
I was like, ooh.
When I seen the player shit,
I felt stupid, huh?
Yes, when I seen the player shit going on,
it superseded what was going on,
and then Nip had a different relationship going on,
so I want to go step on little bro shit ever.
So we walked in there, and they was drinking,
and one of the other homies,
I think he was from Hoover.
And he was like, what's up, Dray, who was love.
So then Nip came over and started talking
to me and Jason Young spoke and Nip started talking to him and then QD3's one of his directors
from his show came over. Trey Adam I believe handed me to glass gave me to I'm toasting now
I said okay this with this shit feel like so fast forward years later the first time right yeah yeah
I'm like okay oh this is player so it's funny when a lot of us don't experience it and we
be ready to speak on other people not knowing what that different level is but the first time
I'm in Louis buying two pair of shoes and when they broke it when they told me it was
1800 or almost two bands.
And now one pair of shoes would be two bands.
Don't let that surprise you.
You got some on his feet right now.
Yeah, some little steps.
Yeah, for sure.
And the first time, this is years ago,
I was red in the face.
You know, we bright-skinned something.
I was red in the face.
I was like, who.
And I had the bread.
Had stupid bread.
But I never spent two bands on two pairs of shoes at the time.
Might have been 2100, 200, it was like 900 a piece or something.
and they were just mad, I wanted both.
With the same style.
Yeah, but it was the first time that later,
making a different level of money was just the norm.
And it got kind of corny when you know
if you were in a position with somebody you were hustling with.
And now your birthday presents are a brightling, a Rolex,
some Gucci, some Louies.
And get to a point where it's like, well,
you might want something that's just a ping pong paddle
with a ping pong table.
That's flyer because you can go get that
because the level of the bread daily you make
and you can get that yourself.
So it gets kind of numb to the materialistic part.
And then I would be going to the studio over there, people like, where are you going?
I'm like, to work, where you fly?
What else you want me to wear?
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, this is what it is now, you know what I'm saying?
But I think a lot of people that didn't understand.
And I like to address too, like when people, you had the gang members who would get in the business, you know, with the women.
A lot of them was past guerrilla.
It was just get to Vegas.
They was fucking Vegas up for a while.
Get to Vegas.
Knock him in their head.
Still, the computer still $50.
Yeah.
See, that's not the gang.
It's up, man.
That shit got it all watered down, and that's why can't nobody do shit today.
And these motherfuckers is running around with their heads cut off.
Man, you know, these bitches.
But you know, you get with them.
They think that's the way it is.
It was just funny, you know, in my time, is even coming across chicks that was like that.
I'm like, that's your mentality.
Well, you know, my last, it always stems back to their last situation.
Oh, my last situation taught me out of, you know, go for this, go for that.
No conversation.
No game.
No mouthpiece for it.
Not making the man wanting to know nothing.
No.
She's already set to sit there.
She don't give a fuck if it's for half a day.
Half a day.
She'll sit with that motherfucker just to get whatever she just saw.
And what a cold thing, too, is that I've had women that, even now, for me being not even
even a part, I'm on some Super Square shit.
I'm on some corporate TV film shit.
But it's how we mac and pimped the game.
Everything is what you're going to do.
You're either going to be in this corporate shit and still pimped, you know, do what you do,
pimp the game, or you're going to choose one and utilize what you've learned from that game.
I've learned the difference of people,
like the difference of growing up
when you had a flat back here
and you had a thief.
You know what I mean?
And the difference of me getting around a woman
who was like, this is what it is.
I'm like, now that's not what it is.
Let me educate you right quick.
So I did make a lot of people's lives better
while I came across.
Right.
Because they got with me
and either stay with me or they left.
Well, that's what is about making progress, man.
Making progress, whether that's with knowledge
or just even financial situations.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to, it's all about game, man.
Yeah.
I never played the game to sit still.
Yeah, facts.
Or to run in place, hell of ard.
I never would understand that.
You know, I see a lot of people, man, constantly just running in place, hell or hard.
But screaming and swearing they're going somewhere.
Yeah.
And ain't going to the damn place.
Ain't left even half the street of level one.
Well, look, I was talking to somebody sharp.
I had to tell somebody and they was like, well, Dre, she's a, we were discussing something on a show we was watching.
He said, she's a prostitute.
I said, no, that one's a prostitute.
That one's a slut.
That one's a huck.
And he was like, well, what do you mean?
I said, well, from my upbringing and understanding
and being in tune with what's going on,
prostitute is there to be rented.
You can do what you want to do.
The slut is fucking for free.
And the ho is coming up in there to do whatever she can do,
to not take a dick, to not do nothing,
to get the money and go.
So she's going to sell you the fantasy as much as she can.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
If you're entertaining for somebody and do whatever you do,
so it's a trip to be able to be,
if we were educating some loss, you know,
I had a little homegrown my neighborhood.
Her whole family is rips.
You know what I mean from South Central?
And she came to me and she said, hey, what's up?
And her father was my G-hommie, you got killed.
You know what I'm saying years ago?
And she was like, hey, I'm out here kind of flirting the idea.
Like, look at me now.
I'm 21.
What's up?
And I was like, man, come on, man.
You don't go sit down somewhere.
I'm like that too, though, bro.
Yeah, first of all.
And what are you doing?
So you're out here letting this happen to you
and you come from this line of this or what's going on.
Let me educate you.
If you are doing something, let me give you a little bit of game.
And that little bit of game
I gave her help change her life.
You know what I mean?
For her to tell me,
hey, you really, I understood.
And it's not that I'm trying
to create a renegade,
but this is my family.
That's your family, man.
And I see somebody doing something wrong.
You know what I mean?
It's like, hey, you don't have to be,
and this low-budget dude right here
who ain't shit.
Well, you can, I'm going to say this, though,
loved ones.
Sometimes you can't intervene with somebody's,
whatever's going to happen for this.
Sometimes you can give them some game.
It's okay to let them know,
hey, they're staring wrong.
But don't force it on them.
Never.
Just let them.
never do because there's obviously something they're going to have to probably learn yeah yeah and she
attracted to someone so who are we yeah so who are we to stand in the way right and you know what I'm saying
when she asked me for advice it opened up the door like hey and when she was popping it at me that's when
it opened up and she came back to me and said hey that changed me you know what I'm saying like
that gave me a whole lot of information that's just like if you're working on the railroad and somebody
says hey man you're holding the hammer wrong yeah you know what I'm saying yeah you're going
get callous this much hold the hammer wrong this is the properly how you hold a bat how you hold the
there's a process in a way to do things.
You know what I mean?
Without just being out here fucked up
and ain't nobody having a heart to tell you.
They're like, oh, that's just what she's doing.
Let's have this hard conversation.
You know what I mean?
Let me ask you this.
I like notice about you.
And your transition, has it been difficult to transition,
especially with more spotlight on you
where somebody may be watching to say,
hey, I got 10 mealy.
I'll tell you this.
It's easy when you get to touch some,
some nice change.
Yeah. You know, and
you ain't got to hear no funk-ass bitch mouth.
I ain't got to hear that bitch mouth.
You know what I'm saying? Like, it do feel good. I mean, shit, man.
I did it for a long time, man. So, you know,
this is just me
just elevate. Yeah, real talk.
On to the next, I guess.
On to the next, I guess. Close one chapter.
That's right. Turn to another.
We ain't closing the book.
No. That's what we ain't doing. Come on, Macon.
Come on, man.
We ain't closing the book.
But that's really how I feel about it, man.
Yeah, I agree.
I think when it probably would have been hard if I probably wasn't seeing any fruits of my labor from it because I'm so used to coming from touching a fast hand to cash, you know?
But shit, once I jumped up in and seen what it was, I've seen how this shit has all of its mechanisms and all of the gears go this way and this shit turns that way.
Just use the tools to do this to keep the shit working.
Oh shit, man, it's going to bring in my back.
Oh, man, shit.
Let's go ahead.
Let's get up on this, man.
I'm a professional clock fixer.
Fix all the mechanisms and everything
in that motherfucker, man.
Give me my check.
Yeah, yeah.
Give me my shit.
And you know the thing is, though,
why I'm proud of that is because so many of us
that's stuck that don't know,
if somebody knows selling dope,
if somebody know fraud,
if somebody know 9 to 5,
somebody know whatever they know
if they're not happy or something from it,
a lot of people don't understand
all the days and things that come.
I've been recording and been on the robe
and then somebody will call me
and it'd be a money play.
But it'd take me away from something
that I love doing to have to go be the
be the discipline right in the situation
so that that would always have me like man my energy popping right now
I'm over here we doing I'm making money then I get this go hey
you know what I'm saying hey woo woo but it's this woo woo woo up over here
all right we go let me pull up and get crack it hey man hate it or love it
yeah I don't give a fuck if anybody hate me you love me for I've always done what I loved
that part I don't give a fuck what nobody say man I've always done what I loved you'll never
catch me doing something, I truly
don't want to do. You know what I'm
saying? Like, I don't think that's life.
Let me ask you this. Now, what about in the past
if you had somebody that the bag was so right, but you
couldn't stay in this person? You know what I'm saying?
I'm going to tell you this. I'm going to tell you this.
That's why do you think when you see me
on these shows, these funky-ass bitches, I'll be
looking past the hair. I look
past the looks. You know what I'm saying? I looked
past what she talked about with her money.
Show me your personality. Can I
sit with you for a week? With
nothingness around us. And we entertain.
each other. Probably not.
Yeah. Probably not. Yeah. You have no substance. Yeah. Ground mix. Yeah. Yeah.
You know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's no texture. Yeah. It's got no texture.
Just bland, bland, bland, bland. You know, that's why I'm like, man, because I've came from that already.
I've moved the pretty chicks. There's a, like I've said before, man, there's a lot of pretty
bums in the world, man. You know, motherfuckers don't know how to look past looks. Can you really sit
with this person and groove with this person and see if y'all can really be.
Honestly, not just off of what you sit there and look at her looks for.
Yeah, it's cool to have a cool looking bitch.
I'm not saying it.
Okay, cool.
Have yourself some eye candy.
But you got to think about this, man.
When you go home and you put her away behind the door, you got to deal with that, man.
Because she's going to take that makeup off and it's going to be a different hurt.
You know what I'm saying?
And I'm not just talking about here.
I'm talking about here.
You know, it's just going to be a different type of look.
She's going to take that emotional makeup off.
Yeah.
You know how it is.
Being out there with chicks and you know, yeah, she might act cool.
But you know she's about to get ready to go trip.
She's about to do some weird shit once you're in the car.
You know what I'm saying?
Because that emotional makeup has been removed.
Yeah.
Big.
To a real talk.
You did?
Ever heard of that, man?
Emotional makeup.
Not just what a bitch put on her face.
I'm talking about what she carries on the inside.
Right.
I'm going to tell you the crazy thing.
I didn't have been with a crew and had one person just want to hollah,
I just want to talk.
Yeah.
And been the coolest one.
I didn't knit knock from somebody else.
You know what I'm saying?
That was a partner, but we, you know, worked it out and all that.
But just wanting to just talk.
Just wanted.
And then I didn't, you know, tried to, back in the day, this is a long time ago.
Back in the day, me telling people, hey man, why don't we do this?
And they like, look, man, drop me off on century.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, damn.
Like, you know what I'm trying to educate.
Let's go to faith.
We go, you know, it's organized.
You know, it's just, you know, it's, you know.
And everybody don't want that.
Everybody know what they know.
being in the team, you know what I'm saying?
You learn different personalities.
You got to be able to evolve.
So for you, because you explain that like, you know, you're picking up new games.
Yeah.
And new moves are going to make new power plays and just to hear your people be like, no, I don't
think I want to do that.
It's because you know what that is?
Motherfuckers be comfortable with what they already got.
And that's why a lot of people plateau.
Yeah.
Big fact.
You know what I'm saying?
Because they're so comfortable over here in this grass, but you don't understand.
That's just a little box over there, a little field compared to what's out there, man,
for miles.
You know what I'm saying?
There's green grass for miles.
miles you just got to explore life is meant to explore you're supposed to explore to your
maximum potential man wherever you can go go see things go i don't give a fuck if it's just you going to
go sit on the beach man and watch the sunset go experience things yeah go experience things because it's
so fucking easy today to get caught in a box yeah big and you and you don't even know like you
you get stuck in this man and you just you could have had so much more that's all i'm saying
But motherfuckers really be scared, the hardest motherfuckers that we know, be scared to step out, man, because they don't know.
People hate what they, they don't want to be around what they can't control.
Instead of going and getting around a situation and learning to control it, man, getting bigger.
Big facts.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid of it, baby.
Grow with it.
Come on, man.
You know, the trip is, as I look at different people, whether it be homies in the hood,
that's still doing one particular thing that we was doing for the last 20 years.
And then people, even within the game, they haven't grown.
It's like, this is what I know and this, what we're going to do.
It's kind of like curb serving to me, like when crack was big in the 80s and the 90s,
if you did go to prison or you did evolve or survive and casual freedom,
you've evolved your game now to where we're not doing that exact same hustle no more.
I know it's going to get me caught up.
And if I am going to do that, then let's do it like this.
So I think a lot of people haven't grown at all, too,
and there some people actually absolutely have.
I think the only thing that shouldn't be changed is the morals.
That part right there.
way people like stand on your morals.
Okay, cool.
Change your clothes.
Have style.
You know,
you know,
kind of feel free to be a create.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Do that.
But still keep a moral
about yourself.
You know what I'm saying?
Like you can look fucking crazy
and still hold the door
for an old lady.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't have to just look.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's not about what you look like.
I can still respect you off your morals.
That's why I say,
I don't give a fuck what the bitch
look like.
She could be the bad or she could be the ugly.
If she got a mindset on her, she's winning.
She's winning. She's winning.
She's fucking winning.
What it gets me sharp is when I see different people and I come across me.
Like, I'm a vet.
How are you?
You've been on the field for how long?
Come on, man.
A year and a half.
Come on, man.
People miss it.
Like people using OG.
I'm an OG.
No, you're not OG.
I have people.
See, I get around people and I always do this, right?
And this is, I always, man, let me compare the last five years of life till now.
Yeah.
And let's see if you've grown.
Yeah.
It ain't about because how the fuck it.
I even, how can I be your friend, your man, your anything?
If you haven't grew in the last five years yourself, how can I go with you for the next 20?
Yeah.
As a friend, I don't want to get business partner, anything.
Yeah.
What have you done to grow?
Yeah.
And people should be able to bust that down, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's nothing.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Big thanks.
Come on, man.
Like, what have you done to grow?
Me personally, I just cut off a lot of situations that I knew I didn't have no business being in.
I'm just catching myself going in circles.
I'm catching myself getting tripped by the same foot.
Yeah. Devil's tripping me by the same foot and laughing at me every motherfucking time.
That part. That part. You know what I'm saying? That's what I stopped.
Off the dribble was like, okay, let me really learn from my, you know what I'm saying, my mistakes.
But yet, let me learn from other people's mistakes. I sit back and watch what people do.
Hell yeah. You know what I'm saying? You got to be observing. You know what I'm saying? You can't just be a person that just runs around and just thinking that you do know all of that. See me, I only speak from experience.
You'll never ever, even if I do talk in third person sometimes.
Sometimes I don't.
But if I do, just understand it's came from experience.
I've watched this happen.
So when I sit down and I'll talk to a young lady
or I tell her something, you know,
and I bring it with some conviction
is because I've seen it before.
This is a fucking rerun to me.
I'm not dumb, so I'm not,
and I'm not afraid to call it out.
Right.
Yeah.
If it's black, it's black, man.
If it's white, it's white.
I'm going to let everybody know what I know I'm sitting with.
I know what I'm sitting with.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
My fuck is just like I said, man,
and that just goes with my morals and how I stand.
And I feel like a lot of people, man, should really just get into a better groove,
man.
These kids out here are killing each other.
It's all types of shit, man, for nothing, man.
This shit is ugly.
We do it to each other, but they want to-
Turn it out to the game who ain't, you know,
certain people are shit.
No, it ain't for them, bro.
Yeah, it's like, you know, it's like, you know,
throw the fish back.
I'm gonna be honest, man.
There's no future, and this is just,
I'm just being real for motherfuckers like,
if you're gonna pick up in this,
the game, there's no future for calling yourself playing hard in the streets, running around
with a hundred guns.
I'm going to say it like that better.
You know, versus being part of something because people come from where they come from.
But there's no future in trying to run around with 100 guns and calling yourself trying to
stack your money having a better life.
Because eventually, those things are going to clash.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
One's not going to survive.
It's like some twins that she was already having complications with.
There are doctors already telling you one's not going to make it.
Then elevating our game to understand if you are going to move around and want to move around weaponize,
then go through the proper channels of understanding because a lot of us think, oh, you can't have a gun.
Well, you can ride around California with a gun, but it has to be separated.
So you got to have the clip in a separate place than the gun, but a lot of us don't understand it.
You can even legally do that.
Because we program, as soon as we see the police, we automatically, I'm going to catch a felony.
I don't even have to be doing nothing, and I go the other way.
As soon as I see them, I ain't got no warrants.
I ain't got no nothing, but just as soon as I see him, I don't even like riding on the same street.
I don't know.
And it's not because I have a hatred for, say, the police officer that's in the car.
It's just what my mind has been programmed to see.
You know what I'm saying?
If you program yourself to not like something and you constantly say it, you constantly say it, you start to believe that.
You start to feel that shit.
It becomes your reality.
You know what I mean?
It's not just something you're talking anymore.
It's something that you're really feeling.
It becomes a part of you, man.
I used to feel like that, that I could feel like that.
90% is programming, man.
All of it, yeah, straight up.
Damn there, yeah, definitely 90, if not more.
I used to feel like that you could program yourself
to beat any lie detector tests like that.
If somebody asked you, you know, did you just smoke, smoke that joint?
That's what I'm going to label this one.
Hey, truth comes and talks about beating the lie detector,
how to beat a lie detector test.
You feel me?
Because you know we can do it because it's what we believe.
So, Sharp, you just smoked that joint.
You didn't told yourself, I didn't smoke no joint.
Yeah.
You had told yourself,
enough to where you might you you you ever walked in the stove before two and somebody think
when we was kids we still in it we like damn man am i trying to steal something yeah because a
motherfucker got me feeling like would we be stealing shit would we consider that borderline pathological
it i mean you know what i'm saying pathological line yeah yeah yeah like we could's like isn't that
what that would be considered as long as it was utilized to beat the lie detector test of course
you're right i believe that's how yeah we know of pathological yeah you know what i'm saying is
they program their self to where they tell
themselves that shit so much now
they really truly believe it that's what
their mind is they've programmed themselves to do.
And the phenomenon of having different people who have different
personalities that feel like okay
I'm a painter and they're really going
and they're really a phenomenal painter. Or I'm
I'm a bodybuilder but they don't lift weights
at all but now they're pumping 350
but couldn't get up 125 in a regular
mentality. So the mind is powerful
once we believe
all kind of shit so that's why I feel like I've talked
to a couple people that told me that I was lying but I beat
that I say all right.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm going to be honest with you, man.
To be real,
I don't know how they got a computer
that can tell you whether you lying or telling the truth
any motherfucking way.
You know what it is?
From a heartbeat.
Yeah.
So many pulses per minute.
You know what it is?
Is your name sharp?
That man might have caught the bubble guts right
in the middle of that sense
and it shot his radar.
That part right there.
You don't know what's going on with somebody's body that day.
That part.
Bodies go through all types of things.
Right.
You know?
Your EKGs might not be the same today as they were yesterday.
That part.
You know what I mean?
You know how they try to get you in it?
Is your name sharp?
Yes.
Yeah.
Are you under 50 years old?
Yes.
You come from, yes.
Then where were you at this time?
You know what I'm saying?
So they try to measure like, okay, well, this is how he answered these truthful questions.
So let's measure if he looks to the right or stutters or takes his time, he must be lying.
Or if the heart rate changes.
But like you said, he might got the bubble good.
For real, you don't know what's going on.
And I'm just using as an example.
Like you don't, what if that's something that can offset that motherfucker machine?
Right.
Something is stupid.
Yeah, ha, it's a joke to all about, yeah, okay.
But what if that's something that can really offset that motherfucker that day, man?
And it's got your whole fucking life riding on it.
You know the cold thing, too, is that how people end up becoming snitches.
And the police is the ones who want to get that information out of you.
And whatever, for whatever they broke or whatever have you, they told.
Now the police don't even respect them.
You know what I'm saying?
It's crazy
You're like, you're a snitch
You're like, damn, for real
But it's your job
To have to have a person become that
They'd be here writing your shit down
Like, well, I wouldn't have did it
But you know
Right, yeah
Get your mark ass out of here, bitch
Drop your ass off over there, you know what I'm saying?
Why they're sitting there right in that shit down
Looking at you like, yeah, well, I wouldn't have did that shit
Well, the police ain't
That's a cold day
They tried to get my nephew Dante like this six months ago
Man, you know what I'm saying?
He already knew better
You know what I'm saying?
He knew better.
did better, you know what, you know the trip is I had a dude one time
telling me, and we were speaking in Game Max, he owned a Whig spot, African brother of mine,
him and his wife on the spot in Studio City.
Yeah.
And we was talking about something.
And he was like, oh, man, it's just $50.
You know, girls, I say, man, you don't really understand.
You can't put a price tag on anybody.
Facts.
Some people are $50.
Some people are $500.
Some people are $5 million.
Yeah, you don't know.
50 million.
You don't know who's talking about what.
And I've always given people the avocado effect when it's got an avocado effect.
So you learn around putting prices on.
things.
His life must have been
a little rough.
You know what I'm saying?
He's got to have problems
just going through life.
Like, he caused problems
and everybody's storn over.
He was a tritnik.
But he probably lived like that
just all the time.
He's a cheapskate.
He's a money than cheap skates, bro.
It's just what it is.
He couldn't fathom that someone would
Piznay, you know,
some money for something.
But I told people it's kind of like
an avocado effect.
If me and you go out and get a sandwich
and they say, would you like
avocado?
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
It's 99 cents.
We like, all right.
So now we go to Beverly Hills to the sandwich pot.
Would you like avocado?
Yeah, sure.
That's $3.99.
We're like, all right, fuck it.
Now we're going out to eat somewhere.
They're like avocado.
You want avocado?
Yeah, yeah, I want it.
Well, that's $2,99.
Now, we know in the brain we're getting royally abused over here for avocado.
Right.
But do you want that and where are you at?
What is your ambiance?
Are you in a restaurant that they could get that off?
They do that in clubs, though, man.
All the time with the tables and the bottle.
Say, you lived in Vegas.
You've heard you told me that.
You had a spot after for a long time.
Still do.
Yeah.
So you know.
What it's like even going to a club.
You know what I'm saying?
Going in there, let's just say you're at Dreys.
You're at Dreys.
You're going to pay for a bottle that I can go to the store.
The downstairs.
Yeah, that's up to.
Yeah, but I was going to downstairs.
But, you know, you can go get a bottle, man, that's probably $60.
They're going to charge you about $700 in the club.
I'm about to say $6.00.
Because of the atmosphere.
Facts.
Because of what you want.
And that's why I talk about it.
Instant gratification.
Yes, market price.
People want it right there.
I always say, man, the biggest.
markup on shit is jewelry and furniture.
That part. That's the two main things.
They got a 400% fucking markup.
And only other thing is art.
You can lond there so much art.
Because you could just draw on something right now.
I'm like, Sharp, do this. I appraised this for $100,000.
And if I'm looked at as a respected appraiser, now this is worth $100,000 fucking
thousand.
But aren't we in a grants to say it's only worth $100 if somebody comes and gives you $100?
Facts.
Come on.
That's how I always look at it.
That's why I'll never put price on shit, right?
I'd be like, yeah, I got an old school.
I can say, okay, yeah.
It's 50.
I mean,
I got every bit of 50 and I built it over the years,
got every bit of 50, 60 in it.
But it's only worth that when somebody comes and gives you that.
Be big time.
You know what I'm saying?
Even though you didn't put all your money into it,
you know what I'm saying?
I can only say that this vehicle is worth this
when somebody comes and they lay that money on the table
and say, here's Sharp, here's 50-some thousand or here's it.
You can't really put a label on it.
Like I said, man, back to when I'm saying,
like the jewelry and the furniture,
you ever notice you could always haggle with them?
Yeah.
There were two places you all.
You go in naturally haggling with them
because everything is, because
there weren't two of the main things that are marked
up the, yeah, that are overmarked like a
motherfucker. So when you say that, for me to explain to him
to tell them the avocado example
was to say, well, imagine you're a man
and you're a tree. Well, you bought it in Beverly Hills,
man. Right, and you were Beverly Hills. But
but in, in juxtaposition or a
connection to, to
a woman, if a woman comes in that
room or comes anywhere and meets a man and says,
he says, hey, I'd like you to entertain.
What's this going to be? Well, it's going to be a
five bands me to show up. All right.
He already got this bread. He's thinking an avocado.
Well, are you going to have a good time?
What you charge? Well, how much did you make today?
Well, I made $250,000. It's going to be $250,000.
Now, for the woman who's scared to say that,
will never be able to talk up on that type of bread because she's not,
she's not basing her worth it. She's basing her worth it.
She's based on what he thinks it is.
Because I've seen different people go out, having a cis nervous in the past myself.
See different people go out and be $700 or somebody else, be $12,000.
And didn't.
you know what I'm saying didn't do a goddamn
but this person you know what I'm saying
was a you know everything bad
so I was breaking it down to him to understand
if he would spend $399 for avocado
then this person would spend
$1,000, $5,000, $10,000
$100,000.
They don't know no better
on something that he wants.
If they don't know no better.
Or it's the ego, it's the ego
so it's what we put the price on.
Who could put a price on your time?
Nobody can.
If a woman right now
well how much is going to cost me
for your time?
I'll tell you this man
and I'm sure you can agree.
there's a price for everything, even for the ones that say they would never.
Yeah.
There's always a price.
Let somebody come in and be like this.
Hey, I don't give a, and it might sound crazy, but hey, here's this $3 million.
Let me change your life.
Right.
Let me hit it.
Beware of the free money and a free lunch.
Let me hit it.
Just come see me for about a week.
I just want to hit it for seven days.
You see seven days.
I'll sign your $3 million check over right now.
Right.
I'm talking about the most.
That's life changing money for a lot of people.
Yeah.
For the people that say they would never go.
You have to understand something, man.
that's a lot of money.
You got men who are going to gump up.
Nigger.
And be a, he's right, you know, a young thing,
going to gump up quick, like, oh, shit, $3 million.
Because I didn't told people in acting.
I said, I wouldn't play a pedophile, molester, rapist.
Niggins said, shit, I put on.
I didn't see people say they put a dress on for the right amount of money.
They put the cap on, man, for it.
You know, man, like, you got the little wane boots on and the leggings and everything.
You're with it.
Everybody can't do that.
You know what I'm saying?
Do you think, let me ask you, you are artists, right?
You are music and things like that.
Do you think that's why a lot of these, you start to see that they, I feel like in the game and the music game, they have tried to demasculate the black man.
Facts, a lot of effeminization going on.
Do you, do you see it?
I see a lot of it.
And if it's not that, if it's not that going on, it's drill music.
Yeah.
And I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, one of them is going to feed the, feed the prison.
And the other one is going to break down our men and take us away from the family.
from the family.
I just wanted to see if we could get there.
Of course.
And we went there.
And it's very strategic.
I got a show I'm doing called Sellies on Tooby.
And I am specifically not going to ever sell my show.
Because as soon as I sell that show is about me and Slink going to jail.
Our characters go to jail.
And I am addressing, I'm going to address all kind of shit, but we're going to address it in the correct manner.
There will be no effeminization and no emasculating of men on my show.
Ever.
And I'm like how you say just men.
You didn't even just jump black men.
And you were just like men, man.
Come on, man.
Because a man's supposed to be a fucking man.
A man.
And that's one thing universally that if we somewhere in this all white boys who traditionally
look like they may not like the likes of even our bright asses because we black men.
So they may not even like us when we walk in.
But one of them is going to say, give us the nod.
And we're going to give that universal nod like everything's cool, brother.
You know what I'm saying?
I had a chick that I interviewed the other day, right?
And she told me she was like this.
Sharp, you're not even black.
And I was like, in my mind, I'm like this, because her look is very, she's very square with it.
So to her, she's like, well, in her mind, your hair's not nappy.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Your skin's not black.
Right.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't look like the ones that I'm used to see.
Right.
You know, so what the fuck is black supposed to look like?
Right.
I don't understand.
Because it's every shade.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't understand that.
You know what I mean?
She don't understand.
Yeah.
Like, it's just, it's crazy, but you see people like that they stereotype.
It's because that's what they see on fucking TV,
Jamal with the basketball.
Like, fuck out of here with that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Or the house nigger versus the field, nigga.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's what they think is Jamal with the basketball.
Like, where is he at?
Like, that ain't, what, I'm not supposed to look like I want to look?
Like, that shit don't matter.
Right, right.
You know what I mean?
My daddy black is not.
I've experienced a girl telling me before, like, hey, you're like, you're not.
Hey, Mike, when I tan and I go to the tanning booths, I'm, I said, listen,
and you don't really understand what this is.
I say, you got to stand.
We range from the brightest to the midnight darkest.
Yes.
And everything in there about who we are.
But I say, I guarantee you, if I know me and Sharp was on this plane
and this little black woman was getting harassed,
we're jumping up real quick.
I got a partner named Lightskin.
Yeah.
And I got a partner named Dark.
Yeah.
He said he'd tell you, man.
That's my partner.
Shout out with Dark, man.
Hey, man, I'm not black.
I'm dark.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm like I'm right.
You're saying?
because he just goes off of his skin.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, of course he's black.
He's like, man, that's what we call him dark
because he's dark skin.
You know how the cold thing,
if we want to flip it on her?
We could have said, actually, I'm not black.
But you might be black, but I'm melanated.
You know what I'm saying?
And I come from this bloodline and this.
But black, really the definition of black
and the definition of white on a whole other level.
Like, we go back to Malcolm.
We go back to just science.
She blackhearted, bro.
We go.
She's blackhearted.
Yeah.
But you think about like black and white didn't start
until I believe what the 17,
1800s where it was like the white.
idea. They was teaching at UCLA for them and with a white idea because Jews and
Irish was was the niggers. You know what I mean before and the ghetto was what was the
Holocaust times from from if my memory serves me correct but once it came to say hey
you guys we're gonna create white you know I mean and now this is a crew of the
people that aren't black you know we're gonna call them black though but it's a
trip because once the civil rights came about and I'm black and I'm proud came
about then it took a whole nother face where it was like okay we
going to embrace this black and we're going
make it ours and that's why I tell people about
nigger when they don't understand about that
when people why can't we say you know this
and well you should know why you can't say it and respect that
but there's something that's like this is ours and you
can't have it you can't have it. That's pretty much what
that means. You can't have it. You can't have it. You can't have it. You got
everything else because you already have this.
You know what I'm saying? That's real shit. So
you know it's a trip it's a trip man to
to be able to grow and evolve
people think it's okay to joke like that
though. I don't care for it. I had a chick think it was
funny to like joke like that and be like ah nigger yeah she's not even black you know what I'm saying
and I don't think I really don't think she like to see her in her face she really didn't mean it
in a hateful way but she thinks it's a joke but somebody has taught it's a hateful word and she's saying
maybe that's why she was laughing yeah yeah yeah she knew it was hateful who knows just think
just bouncing and you know the thing is because you know why if you take kids and you take the kids
and I seen it it was beautiful before you take a little white kid a little white girl
and say, who's your best friend?
They say, oh, her, what dog do you want this?
The hate doesn't come about until the parents,
till we give the game, like us getting game from our parents
is giving like, that's black, that's ugly.
So then you see a little black girl that's going to see a black doll
and say, I don't want that when it's matching her melination.
But she don't want that because she thinks it's ugly
because people have made her feel like that that's ugly.
Now, I have four children.
One of my children.
She's about to ask you if you had kids.
Yeah, I got kids, yeah.
The oldest is 10, youngest is three,
and two daughters, two boys, and one of my daughters is bright like me,
you know, here, and I always want to educate her to know who she is
because she's a mixture of things, but I want her to understand this part of your culture
and understand why it's important.
And then I remember coming home and seeing somebody gave her mom a dog,
white with blue eyes, and I'm not going to front.
I threw it away.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I felt like, hold on, we starting to brainwash my child.
I don't see no, nothing over here of any type of looks like her father.
other side of the family. So now we're going to buy these Barbies and these other dolls
and these expensive, what's the one dollars that cost five, six, seven, hundred.
We're going to make this look like, yes. I had to get that. American me shit or whatever.
So now, but it has to be implicated early for my daughter to understand it. All levels of
melanation are beautiful from yours to the darkest. So, and if we don't do that, then kids is
going to grow up thinking, and I don't know if you felt like this, but growing up, light skin wasn't
what I wanted to be. I was the light sheep of the family. So everybody else, until I go to
New Orleans. So for me, when people
was like, you like, you like, I don't want
to be. You know what I'm saying? But I'm who I am,
but I had a complex growing up as a
child because I was the bright
one. Here come to piss color. They come
woo-whoop, because that's something that we do to our
own people. It's like, here come light, right.
Until I started to get older
and get my hands dirty, then people didn't let
that go. But growing up,
you know, even football, then you
start performing in football and people, you know,
falling back, but it's just who you are,
light, gray, black drey. You know what?
We used to be on the blade with rips.
You know what I'm saying?
And a homie from a phoenix from neighborhood Compton named Dre.
And they used to be like, we're light Dre and black Dre.
And then a couple of homies would be like where white Dre had.
Then I started putting in work and that was thrown out.
You know what I'm saying?
But at one point, being a teenager, it's funny how we do our own people like that, even within households.
So in my household, it wasn't cool to be bright.
You feel me?
It was like, get your, go sit your motherfucking light ass down.
Because you know why?
And I'm going to say it for you, man, because you wasn't considered black to them.
That's why.
And I hate to say it.
Yeah.
That's why.
So you like, you don't look at you.
You mean in the family?
Yeah.
Like you don't look.
You're not black to them.
But imagine your mama doing it.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like.
But that French Creole is cut anyway, so I'm proud of it.
It is.
It is.
But you got to think about it, man.
Like that's just, that's the, people's minds, man, are short.
Yeah.
They think in short spurts.
Big fakes.
Short spurts.
Yeah, big fakes.
So whatever first comes.
comes to their mind, not what they're thinking they're going to go with that.
And that's just how they're going to ride.
Instead of slowing down, it just understands you.
Understand who you are.
Maybe understand why your skin colors a little lighter,
but it doesn't mean that you're not one of them.
Maybe motherfuckers would do that, but nobody ever wants to sit down and really learn nothing these days, man.
And the trip is, it be our people, like, if I see you or we see whoever, we're going to know,
oh, yeah, he cut, but he likes skin.
He might be Creole.
He might be mixed.
He might be anything.
White folks may not understand at times.
Are you Puerto Rican?
Are you Cuban?
Are you this?
And you have to think about it now.
It's starting to, everybody's starting to be mixed up now, man.
It's going to come a time to where it's going to be a Latin country mixed with everything.
It's going to be mixed with everybody.
White folks are definitely the minority.
Yeah.
Definitely.
When it was cool to call us the minority.
And that's what has a lot of people scared is they feel like, damn, 20-50 something, man.
We're going to be running around here.
Scares.
Perez going to be the president.
Going to be scared.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's going to be normal.
Like the last roll of toilet paper sitting on the shelf during COVID.
Woo, boy.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, you're thinking of brainwashing.
Hey, sis, you're thinking of brainwashing that vanilla is really dark.
Yeah.
So, but growing up, you're like, man, give me the vanilla.
Give me the white.
Take this Neapolitan.
But, yeah, you feel me?
You feel me?
But the vanilla was supposed to look like the chocolate.
You know what I'm saying?
Neapolitan was a lie.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a cold thing.
And that's brainwashing.
If you look at, what's a little short, what's name was the general that was blowing the noses off of the
of the sphinxes and a little Napoleon had to,
when we said Napoleon complais,
he was blowing the cannons over there
with the wider noses and the more
and was blowing the noses off
trying to rebuild them to be king.
You know what I mean?
To make us be like,
oh, these white folks was here,
they wasn't us.
This is a deep, dirty game.
It's a dirty game, y'all.
Yeah, it is, man.
You know what I'm saying?
And the whitewashing is extremely serious.
And some people say,
well, Dre, it's not about,
boohoo.
It's not about that.
America is set up,
and the world is set up for anybody to come get it.
Yeah.
This is based on commercialism.
Anybody, we can come build anything a brand and get it.
That's for anybody.
But the redlining and the conditions that have been set up for black people in America are serious.
A lot of people think, well, things have changed.
Look at Obama.
Well, I say, well, man, you got to understand.
Like, Obama was a president of a company, of a corporation.
He couldn't do anything to say, I'm going to come to South Central.
I'm going to come to Oakland.
And I'm going to help these black men over here.
I've said it.
Man, I bring it up all the time, but I don't even want to get deep into politics too deep.
Because I got out of all.
to say I do it all the time.
That's why I try to skip it from show to show sometimes.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I do it so much.
So I'm trying to be kind of cool.
But I have to agree with you.
I'll let this slip out.
I have to agree with you because if you really look at it, man,
fuck a free cell phone.
Man, I don't give a fuck about no cell phone.
Fuck a free cell phone, man.
Don't nobody want that shit, man.
Fuck a free cell phone.
But you know what?
But you know what?
I have to look at it too with my people.
If we did get some money,
because motherfuckers always say like we're old.
We're old, we're old.
If we did get some money, what we're going to do with it?
Man.
Nobody even be knowing what to do with it.
When they do get it, we're the first place we go run out to.
Gucci, Louis.
Who's the first people to get our money?
We go back and spend it right back with the white man.
Yeah, yeah, facts, facts.
They pay us and we go right back and pay them.
We go right back and spending money.
We only, I think, what, we reuse our money once or twice,
and other people would do it 27 times.
I'm not saying it's not okay.
Yeah.
I'm not saying it's not okay not to have some nice things.
Hell yeah.
That's cool.
But learn how to make.
But people don't do that because they're so afraid of when they walk around what somebody's going to say about them
Oh, well, you got this on your body.
You can't be having no money.
Everybody always wants to look like they have something even when they don't.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
They will spend their last.
Because I didn't see some rich dude with dirty-ass shoes on.
Man, bummy as hell.
But then I've seen dudes with rich be looking nice.
It's what you choose.
Like some people said, well, I've seen the billionaire roll up in the Prius.
And another dude pull up in the Ferrari.
well that's okay if the dude want the Ferrari and a billionaire want the Prius.
You got to live.
And one thing I would say is when rappers would get on and get a deal, the chains and the cars,
certain things I didn't understand, but I do understand the car.
I do understand if you never had anything and you, do we know, go get some property.
Now they're saying maybe buying property may not be the best thing.
Or get your C Corp to buy the property through your LLC and run it like that so you make it money on all levels.
I'll just say this, because I've done it.
And it's from experience, brother.
do not spend your last on the car.
Live within your means.
Yeah, facts.
Live within your means.
Hey, man, if you got to ride something to,
hey, at least you're going to know that you're really grind
even harder to get about that motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying?
But live within your means.
Don't go and buy a $50,000 car because you got a $50,000.
Right, that part.
That's stupid to me.
Because I've been, you know, broke one night next day rich.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been in that before where it's like,
woo, we didn't came up on a lick for 200 fans.
You know what I'm saying?
A motherfucker had five grand before that the night.
be folk. A lot of people ain't using credit.
You know what I'm saying? A lot of people don't even know
credit management. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? Even though I have to get on there.
Most of us don't. I mean, shit, I check my shit
every day. I check my shit every day to make sure to see what
points is going up, what points is going down. I start
learning what I could do to, you know, because that's my name.
You know what I'm saying? It feels good when you can go
in there and you can do some, see what
what credit does is, man, you know, you can get cheaper
rates for things. If you've got a higher
credit, if you're known for paying things off.
and doing things like that.
That's the only way you get anything today, any motherfucking way.
It's not back in the day where you can walk up and pay $200,000 cash for this $200,000
thing that you're buying.
No, they're going to want to see where your money's coming from.
You know what I'm saying?
If you're going to put down even $50,000 of it, could you pay off the $150?
What are you known for paying off?
They want to know if you've been able to cash something out just maybe $20,000 down under this.
Well, you know, the thing is too, a lot of us, we raised up on greed and now having other
different situations.
learn trust building a trust and building like life insurance making life insurance
work for you while you're living not death insurance yeah most of us then when
the insurance little white man will come over to my great on he'd come in and
I'm nine years old this the insurance man he bought through the hood he through
the he working so people paying for a death insurance not a life insurance
life insurance now you can you can you can borrow from from your insurance
policy right buy homes you can have a trust to where when you die now your
children get a million to two million dollars or more through this trust
through insurance.
So a lot of us don't understand.
We think insurance is just when you die,
go, hey, we need,
we're doing a car wash for a little TT.
Now, this insurance is working different for us now
in understanding different things
to have generational wealth
and the pass up to our kids.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
So, and I feel,
I'd be excited to learn new shit
that I can share that's actually working.
Yeah.
You feel me?
That's actually working.
Not just somebody telling you a bunch of shit,
what's actually working?
Yeah.
Sometimes, but sometimes.
Sometimes you got to make it work too, man.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Just because something might be working for that person don't mean you're just going to come in, put your dollars in, and it's just going to make a move.
I'm not saying there's not things that you can't do with that.
But if you want something for some longevity shit, you're going to have to get in there and make it do what it do.
You know what I'm saying?
You're going to have to get hands on a little bit.
You don't have to get hands on.
We can do this shit all day, but man, brother, I'm going to bring you back for this.
Come on, man.
His conversation is good, man.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
I don't know, man.
