Starting point is 00:00:00 No jumper. Coolest podcasts on the world. I'm in here today with my man, Lush, Uno. And we having a sit down with some of the most widely recognized hitters coming out of Long Beach. Top rang gang. Top rang gang in the building. How are y'all doing? Nice to have you guys here, man.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Appreciate you. I don't know if you guys have heard about me around Long Beach. But 2010 to 2014, I was holding in the day. down man for sure yeah yeah i remember when i realized like damn i live in a place called cambodia town that's crazy because i'm not even from i'm on the east coast and like one day i'm just kind of riding my bike around and just see the signs and realize because all right you guys know anything about lowell massachusetts yeah uh yeah one of the other main cambodian strongholds in america i grew up like 20 minutes down the highway so grew up around a lot of cambodians can i just tell one
Starting point is 00:00:58 anecdote of when I realized that white people maybe were not like the dominant physical specimen on earth. I'm fascinated. I had some neighbors Nyang Tep and his brother. I just remember Nyang and I had these trees in front of my house. I never even really thought about these trees. They're like this skinny, tall is like three stories tall. Fucking dude Nying just we're walking home from school. He just
Starting point is 00:01:24 jumps up that tree. Sheets up the whole thing. Him and his brother, both side by side. They shimmy up the whole fucking tree. Like, it's nothing. Like, it's a total joke. And I realized at that moment, like, I could never do that. Like, you guys are so much physically stronger than me. It just was mind-blowing.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Like, that was, like, the moment when I realized, like, damn, like, people that aren't white are at least sometimes, like, way fucking stronger than me. I feel like it's a really competent use of body mass as well. You know what I mean? Because they're not the biggest that they make. use and lean muscle strength yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't know so my cambodian people oh yeah yeah yeah yeah we built different man we built different when did you first realize adam when you like moved along beach that there was a pretty sizable Asian probably when I started to notice the Cambodian town signs and realized like oh shit I'm
Starting point is 00:02:19 really like living in the middle of this shit okay so is that close to y'all Cambodias yeah that's right there Anahehm street yeah you know Shout out Anaheim. Shout out PCH. Harder of the city. For sure. We all stayed right there on Anaheim. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Tell us a little bit about what it was like growing up in Long Beach. That shit was fun. It's a lot of skateboarding and bikes and shit. So, like, we were surrounded by that. Like, all that was all through. And then we got older, you feel me? They started venture off into other shit. Yeah, Long Beach is a wild place.
Starting point is 00:02:57 You got nicer areas. You got Super Hood areas. You got skate parks all over the place. You got nice-ass coffee shops and restaurants. You got a little bit of everything over there. But growing up over there, do you guys just stay in one section? Do you feel like you got to see what the city was really all about and everything? Honestly, it was all over.
Starting point is 00:03:15 We was all through it. Like downtown, Anaheim, PCH. To the north. Like, we grew up all through Long Beach. How many generations deep in Long Beach? Are y'all, were your parents from there, or did they immigrate? No, my parents was born in a refugee camp. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And they escaped from the wars and came to, uh, they went to Oregon, then they somehow ended up in Long Beach, but I was born in Long Beach. So you first generation American? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. My parents, yeah, they born out the country for sure. How much do you go to the beach growing up?
Starting point is 00:03:52 Honestly, being from Long Beach, you don't go through. to that beach. It's not really the best beach, right? It ain't, we go to Huntington or whatnot, but we will pull up over there, smoke some weed, whatnot, chill. Other than that, we don't kick it. We ain't jumping in that water.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yeah, because everybody pulls up to the bluff and just, like, smokes and watches the sun go down and shit like that. That's some normal shit to do, but the whole time living there, I don't know if I, maybe I went swimming like once or twice, but didn't really get too into it. But you know what I never thought about until I was watching like a swamp story's
Starting point is 00:04:25 video about about TRG and all this kind of shit is that Long Beach is called that because that's a long-ass beach I never thought about that it is a long-ass stretch of beach compared to a lot of other cities that are all on the coast where the beach is like hella short no definitely yeah that shit goes all the way down like what Seal Beach I believe so something that I always talked to Long Beach artists about and I've already interviewed you guys but the momentum that y'all've got since our
Starting point is 00:05:00 interview has been insane y'all really really got crazy emotion now being from long beach there's a real story to history of rap music you know what I mean like the snoop dog warren G the whole G funk how aware of that were y'all growing up because you were
Starting point is 00:05:16 because y'all seemed like y'all were little kids or not even born yet when that shit was cracking off you feel me I didn't really get in tune with that shit until I was like probably like 13 14 because you feel me like I didn't know Snoop Dog and all then I didn't really like I was into music like that so I think my older sister she put me on to all that and then when I think when Nate Dog passed they had the whole little parade thing
Starting point is 00:05:40 whatever and then that's when I first like seen it first hand like the impact they had and the VIP sign all that shit oh yeah yeah yeah but sure when you go over there though that shit ain't what it used to be. Yeah, which I mean, really, like if you're selling
Starting point is 00:05:56 records, you're not going to be able to have the same size store 30 years later. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, well, there's a very big 7-Eleven
Starting point is 00:06:05 you kind of got to go around it to hit the record store, I'm pretty sure. There's always something going on right there too. Yeah, it's all the stories right there. Definitely. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:06:15 so, like, how would you describe you guys as upbringing? Like, in terms of what you were privy to, what you were seeing out in the street and everything. Did it occur to you at a very young age?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Like, Holy shit, this is a crazy-ass place to be brought up. I feel like it was regular because the shit that we seen, like, it was everywhere type of shit. And, like, from an outsider perspective, it would be like, what the, what's going on over here? But then we see that shit every day. It's, like, kind of normal.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Yeah, I don't got, like. I don't got it. Like, fucking us growing up, shit, we was cool with, you know, people we ain't cool with now. And then as we grew up, We just we went this way. They went that way. And that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Like the Cambodian community is real small out there too. So, you know. That's something that always fascinated me about, you know, because there's a large Cambodian population. I mean, Asian overall, but a lot predominantly Cambodian. We all damn near related. I feel like shit. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Because if you're Cambodian and you live in Southern California, you probably live in Long Beach or are there a bunch of other cities where there's a lot. Long Beach, Fresno, Stockton. I mean, there's a, there's a lot of Cambodian. But predominantly it's out there. Yeah, in Southern Cali, yeah, if not like Daigo or some shit. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:35 What I want to know is, like, what defines the boundaries? Because, you know, there's two clearly defining groups within that community. How does that, like, get defined of who you're going to rock with? Who you know, are you going to be with the Asian boys or the T-R? You know what I'm saying? Like, how to T-R-G is how to-old. Honestly, it's just, like, who you know. in who you like who you click with more types of it like because we got family like a lot of the
Starting point is 00:08:01 homies like our family from the other side you feel me and then it's just who we choose to like be around and yeah yeah like basically friendship groups from like your childhood because really y'all are all supposed to be together type of shit but then it winds up yeah that's just crazy like for it to be like a relatively small group of people does that occur to you guys that that's kind of kind of unfortunate series of events that kind of divided the community or are you just habituated to it like it just is what it is it's hell of like unfortunate you feel me because like our people came out here didn't come out here for that you feel me like they didn't expect all this shit to happen shit we are our people's before us they came out to Long Beach and they was dealing
Starting point is 00:08:47 with racial wars you get what I'm saying right it was it was like more racial things it wasn't oh Cambodian on Cambodian You know what I'm saying, but as time went by into our generation, now it's, you know, we on our own kind type shit, damn near. As fucked up as it sounds, that's just what it is. Do you feel like that also, like, makes it difficult for the fans sometimes because, like, the fans? Yeah, but then, no, it's like, music is music. You know what I'm saying? If I see somebody playing that, you know, somebody else's music that I don't, I'm not going to, you're a fan, bro, you regular.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, but, you know, I can't... As long as you don't involve yourself any type of shit. Yeah. Do y'all feel like, you know, you talked about the racial divide in Long Beach? You know, there's a lot, there's always been a lot of funk between black and brown and Long Beach. It's one of, like, the longest-standing race wars. Still going on. Still going on.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Still like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, like, how do y'all feel like y'all, you know, as Asians fit into that whole dynamic? We just do our own thing. We don't involve ourselves into what they got going on. We don't involve everybody type of shit. We don't involve ourselves in the, you know, black politics or brown politics. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:05 That's not a place. You know? If you guys get locked up, who do you roll with? Others. You know what I'm saying? Oh, there's a other. Yeah, which is, well, Cambodian. We run Cambodian.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Oh, okay. You know what I'm saying? Come on. But we got Mexican homies. We got black homies. We got Indian homies and shit when they hit the when they hit the when they get locked up Guess what they're running other. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And they lowkey click up with the blacks. Okay. Yeah. We're cool. Yeah. For my understanding. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Because we, you know, we're always going to be outnumbered. You know what I'm saying? Like we're probably about like 2% in jail. And you know what I'm saying? 2% Asians and the rest is black, brown. But is this is one thing that I've had other people from the Asian street community kind of stressed to me is that they really don't appreciate some of the stereotypes that go on in the media, mainstream media, in terms of like basically making it seem as if Asian people are just like, like, see by default. Yeah. Y'all don't like that.
Starting point is 00:11:13 That's what I get the idea. We came from, we was raised in the hood, like, you know, shit. It's not too many Asian people out there that, like, came from what we came from. Yeah. And the ones that portrayed in the media, that's like they're not used to art type of Asian people. Yeah, we are dark-skinned Asians, you know. Southeast Asians. Okay, so that brings up an interesting point.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Do you feel like there's, like, a caste system with an Asian culture? Like, there's racism between Asians? For sure. I mean, for my understanding, that's, like, some of the most racism, you'll ever encounter is Asian-on-Asian, like Japanese versus Chinese. It's like a hierarchy. They feel like right.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Oh, shit. You know, they got, they millionaires in China. You know, they come out here and, you know. Like down on us. If we were posted up outside, everybody smoking and drinking and then a bunch of like Harvard graduate Chinese people walk by,
Starting point is 00:12:12 I feel like we're going to catch a vibe. Most definitely. They're going to turn their nose up. They're not like us. I don't know. They're not like us. I could imagine that. That wouldn't surprise me too much.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Damn. No. So do you all ever like, because unfortunately it seems like you feel me, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Filipinos, like you said, Southeast Asians, get the short end of the stick and get to feel discriminated on by other Asians and things like that? In the areas that we be in, hell not. But if like we were to be somewhere where you wouldn't see.
Starting point is 00:12:49 people like us then yeah for sure in terms of you guys coming together as a rap group what was the process like like do you guys have anyone in particular that stands out as like the leader that sort of brought people together uh hell not because at first we was all uh rapping like solo and then uh we was like we did a couple songs together and then we we seen that the fans liked it yeah they liked us all together so he was like it why not why not we'll make a song and thursday 30 minutes versus solo. We'll make a song in like an hour or two. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:13:23 So we knock out five to ten songs a session easily. I think the first time I've seen you guys, there is a big-assie-cut cipher on YouTube. And there was different fools from y'all section were, there's hell of fools from y'all section rapping. And I don't even know how many of y'all are even wrapped in there, but I think I've seen a couple of y'all on the video type shit.
Starting point is 00:13:49 But that was the first time I became aware and I was like, damn, there's a lot of fools from over there, you feel me, TRGs that really rapping the ass off, dude? So were y'all influenced by other fools from y'all section, or was it just like? Yeah, I mean, you know, it was a couple of OGs, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:08 that paved away for us in the rap, you know. Shit, MacG had the streets on a lot, you know. He had the ops listening. to it like he was just one of one of the older uh older homies that just paved away with the music yeah he like gave people they first like taste in the music from our side so did you're all parents pretty strict or like were they did they try to deter you from the lifestyle because you know all my age and homies their parents stricter than a month you can't get away with sure yeah shit my but this
Starting point is 00:14:44 our parents is just from the hood like You know what I'm saying? Like, my mom was like, she was in and out of jail. So, like, she was strict, but she wasn't really there to enforce it type of shit. My mom had my bro in jail right here. It's my blood brother. Right. Whoa, that's like a crazy classification to be like I was born in jail.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Have you heard stories? Like, what's the stories you heard about, like, me? My mom was, like, she was squabbling in jail and shit. Like, that she was crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Wow, pregnant. Yeah. Like, she would fall on. or stomach type of shit. That's shit crazy, bro. You were meant to be something. You didn't just come out of that world for no reason. I think Tupac was born in jail, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:15:28 I believe so. Yeah. Yeah, that's shit crazy. That's a sign of greatness, man. Damn, so, okay. But, okay, you guys, like, just sort of came to, so you guys were all rapping, and, like, when did it officially become, like,
Starting point is 00:15:41 we're going to make this a group? Like, that feels like a gigantic decision, because you're basically committing yourself to having to go to the same shows, being in the same studio sessions, etc. And it's also like having that confidence of like, it's not just like we're cool right now, but we're going to be cool for years and years and years to come.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Yeah, like, we actual, like, homies, we can't fall out on no rap shit. Like, we really got to see each other, you know what I'm saying? Regardless, so, you know. We didn't really make this shit official probably until, like, a year. A year ago, for sure. And really, it was because, like,
Starting point is 00:16:15 it's five of us on one song we're not about to just see four feature it glizzy gray feature mr east side that we're gonna keep it simple and short so you could you know find it easier definitely do does it feel like you guys have like a big fan base outside of california hell yeah like the community at large with y'all yeah for sure we big in um seattle shit australia we got held well well sainno and shes like that yeah We're just trying to keep going. Okay, so I got to ask y'all about this. Y'all came on Lush World, did a great interview around that time.
Starting point is 00:16:57 You dropped a video, Fast Money. Yeah. What the hell happened? Why did that? I mean, like, all your videos do good numbers, you feel, I mean, you hitting six figures, but almost everything y'all dropped. But why is that video so successful? Why you, what made the, what's that?
Starting point is 00:17:16 I think the radio play kind of like, yeah, that should have boost because after that, that shit was going up. Yeah. After they played us on the radio. The video itself was borrowed. Shit, the thumbnail. Y'all at 4.5 mil right now? Something like that, yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Do that kind of change shit for you guys, just to have one song go that crazy? Yeah, for sure. Open a lot more, it opened a lot more doors. Shit, ever since then, it's been up. We've been, like, tapping in with new people. people, like getting into new places we hadn't ever been before. Y'all going crazy. So what was, so y'all are assigned to one of the biggest labels in the streets of LA, O-TR records.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yeah, where'd that come from? How did that happen? It was just gone to their studio. Like, because at first we didn't know it was, that was their, like, actual studio. And we was going there all the time. Daily, independently. Like, nobody funding us or nothing. We just, you know, every day, eight hours.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I don't know that. And in a day life. Who is these guys? They did their research and, you know, eventually, rest was history. Really? So you're already recording in their studio just coincidentally? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Yeah, for sure. Wow, that's a small world situation. That's crazy. You know, like, Solis obviously rocks with, you feel me, the culture really heavy, but I wonder of him seeing you like, okay, like Solis, he Asian. You feel me? Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:18:43 He's like, these are some Asian fools that are really coming with it. with a dope image. I mean, he also has Pete Thrizzle signed. Yeah, for sure. So he's a, I think what Adam said earlier was really poignant about there being this mischaracterization of what people think are Asians. And y'all kind of kicking down the door
Starting point is 00:19:02 and let him know what really time it is. Oh, yeah, for sure. But really even just saying like Asian just feels like too much of simplification. It's like, if I'm fucking Cambodian, why are y'all comparing me to some people's in Japan? their culture has nothing in common. Like, it's easy for, like, Americans to be, like, Asia.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah. Right. It's such a gigantic landmass that, like, to even, you know, because, like, we know a New Yorker and an L.A. kid are, like, worlds apart. Yeah. Even, like, a dude from Compton and a dude from Long Beach, like, dudes from California can, like, really tell the difference and shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:36 But, like, yeah, it's like, Americans like to put things into nice, simple buckets. So I feel like the Asian thing has got to be kind of annoying if you can't vote. Yeah. I get that shit growing up. In school, they'd be like, when I tell them I'm Cambodian, they'd be like, so you're not Asian? You Chinese? You Chinese? Like, what I said?
Starting point is 00:19:53 That goes back to King of the Hill. I am Laos. So are you Chinese or Japanese? Hank Hill. Okay, but like, when did you guys really start to feel like the music was moving and like shit was actually working? Honestly, independently, we dropped our first album of. getting richer every year, that my fucking went up.
Starting point is 00:20:20 We just dropped the bitch on Dissro Kid and it did what it was supposed to do and we was gaining traction just off that. So I felt like at that. Are y'all kind of, do y'all ever feel like this is going to sound crazy? So just bear with me, don't pack me out.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Do y'all ever feel like the back street boys in the sense that, let me finish, like I said, in the sense that everyone's going to have their favorite member. Oh, yeah, for sure. girls going like certain you feel me like how does that feel like how does that feel like you're like in this group you've and then certain people go is there people that I with him I don't with him or how does that dynamic play out we don't take no you know no hard feelings you know
Starting point is 00:20:59 we we motivate each other you know that shit motivation I feel like that shit was kind of like it was kind of regular already because we had our own fan base before we came a group and you feel me and like and now we came together and put all our fans yeah I'm got there and just you know yeah definitely and I think it's great to see groups because I've always back in the 90s when I got into hip hop really like that it was all about the groups yeah Tung onics you know what I mean like all these different groups and then it became a solo thing because people realize there's a lot more I don't have to split the money up and then when
Starting point is 00:21:37 shoreline came out we started to see a little resurgence of that like do you feel like what's the long-term ambition of this group? Y'all want to always stay together but do your own thing solo kind of on some Wu-Tang shit but come back together or... For sure. We kind of encouraging each other
Starting point is 00:21:56 to do our solo shit at the same time while we're... Because you're gonna get a bag both ways for the group and you can get your solo back. You know what I'm saying? They can sign us as top-ranked gang but we can still get signed as individual C-4 and Mr. Eastside Gleazy-Gre.
Starting point is 00:22:10 You know what I'm saying? because that's one thing is like people are mad slow and it's very difficult for them to comprehend ideas but like shoreline it was like oh this group just like automatically speaks for all the young because they were like Mexican and black and then also it's like it's not some some Cholo shit it's not some like old school shit it's like now this is like the average Mexican kid you meet in Southern California is more like this and they like spoke for that whole generation but that also was why it was kind of sad that they broke up after a couple years because it just sort of like, you know, kind of ended like a level of momentum that obviously they've done all right.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Career-wise individually, but as a group, it just felt like there was so much motion behind that at a certain point, you know? It's the energy of the different styles, you feel, me, and coming together and all that, that, to me, that that makes so much more, it's so much more that could be appealing to people and things like that. What do y'all find is the biggest challenge? with being in a group. And obviously, y'all are family, y'all are homies.
Starting point is 00:23:14 But as far as, like, is there challenges in the studio? Everybody being on time. Yeah, look, like, everybody, you know, you got to deal with five people, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, got to make sure everybody on the same page. We short one right now. Chats with the homie. Where's he at?
Starting point is 00:23:28 He on the way. He on the way. Oh, shit. Tripsosa. Yeah. Damn, that's got to be a real challenge there, though. But, like, all right, if you guys were booked for rolling loud. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And one of y'all couldn't make it, the show goes on. For sure. If two can't make it, the show goes on. It doesn't matter. We're putting on the show regardless. All of a sudden, it's kind of like, yeah, this is kind of fucked up. But we're still going to perform. You're going to survive.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Shit, we've done it before. Really? Where everybody wasn't around or what? Maybe two wasn't around, but we still did our thing. Observatory sold out. We still did our thing. Had the crowd singing nation for us. Oh, hell, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Y'all was doing a lot of work with 420 T.S. at some point y'all still getting busy or well yeah siesta yeah yeah where that relationship come from i was knowing from like house phone and shit yeah yeah um yeah instagram man yeah he just seen us i think he said his first song he heard from us was um sticks and beans
Starting point is 00:24:25 bro and um he liked what he heard he tapped in followed us and we just been locked in ever since yeah that's what's up and what i love about these guys videos is they have really hot cambodian girls girls. Yeah. A rare delicacy. You don't necessarily get to dip and dabble
Starting point is 00:24:46 in that in most worlds, most of the parties we go to. It's different. It's exotic. I'm a good. It's exotic. I'll be real. For us?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah. That's good. And I got to be honest, Adam. You know, like I feel like there's an underrepresentation of the Asian community on Flood Talk as well. Oh. Some Cambodian.
Starting point is 00:25:07 There's so many varieties under the Asian umbrella to San Francisco. Yeah, that's a fact. Now, let me ask y'all. Do you, is there, if you're talking about the Asian hierarchy and, like, you know, all that, do you feel like there's a particular race of Asians that are the hottest or, like, the few hottest? To be honest, I don't.
Starting point is 00:25:28 For girls. Oh, for girls? Damn. I'm into, like, Filipinos. Soulfire. That's a good one. Good choice. I never dated a Cambodian girl, so I would, I would, I just stay away because they might be my cousin or something.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Is that a real concern? It's a small community. Like, I ain't going for it, you know? Yeah, like, baby, before I take you on this date, you got to do this 23 in me. Like, this shit crazy. Holy shit, that's crazy. Well, I mean, but I would have, I almost would have said, like, oh, Chinese girls are so beautiful. But I've been to China.
Starting point is 00:26:08 So it's like, I know what like the average random ass Chinese woman who's not making any attempt to be attractive looks like. I feel like that's negatively tainting my impression of them. No, there's some bad Chinese girls. For sure. But I just like been out there and it's like, I don't know, like in China it's like girls are not trying to look hot like the way they are out here. I'm going to be real. Keep in mind the population is like 1.5 billion. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 The sad service is just a different culture. They're just like kind of anonymous. They're not trying to get attention from people like that and shit. It's like, I don't know, it would be hard to, it would be hard to judge. I'm not going to like, so my answer, not that you asked for it. It's for sure, like the south-eastern side. Like, that's my- Yeah, for sure. As hot as Korean girls are bad, too.
Starting point is 00:26:54 You feel I ain't going to lie Chinese girls, but Filipino and Cambodian Viette. Like, yeah. What about you, Adam? Shit, I don't know, man. Honestly, I don't even know. It's just, I f*** with them all, man. Filipino going to get the gold medal. Love a Korean.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Love a Japanese. Love a Cambodian, sure. I'm trying to remember the girls that I thought were hot in high school who might have been Cambodian. Because I don't even think I was really like thinking about race that much when I was young right there, you know? You put them in that category. They're Asian. Because my school didn't have enough Asian people probably for me to have been putting them in separate categories. No, I remember there was a Filipino girl, though, that I was in like elementary school.
Starting point is 00:27:34 And I referred to her as a black girl. my mom and my mom had to explain to me she's Filipino she's not black and I was like third grade I didn't really get that that's amazing I didn't really know you boxy brown was both so I don't know if that helps in this situation really she is damn she is as well as sweetie there's a lot of that that's an amazing combo I just read a crazy crazy tweet about Foxy Brown and Jay Z I'm gonna share it with you when we go camera yeah we'll talk about that um not bringing that to the mic no wait so you've never dated a Cambodian Nah.
Starting point is 00:28:07 So what's your, like, what are you getting down with, like, Latina and black girls? Self-hate, maybe? Cousin avoidance. Shit, my folks going to hate me for that, but, uh... Nah. Yeah, um, anything but that, shit. That's, that's very, very interesting. So...
Starting point is 00:28:26 If your parents, if you brought home a black girl, what would your parents say? Shit, I don't think they'll trip. Man, we, like, tied in with the black community. Okay. Yeah. But you bring home... An op. An op.
Starting point is 00:28:38 An op. A bitch. Yeah. Shit. That's a plus. Because we're going to broker peace through this, right? You get bonus points, you know. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Interesting. Oh, shit. Don. Don. Don. Don. Don. Laundry.
Starting point is 00:28:57 That's a weird new bottle we got going on here. So, okay, y'all get loaded. You guys drink, smoke, et cetera. I'm kind of suspicious looking at the color of it. Yeah, that's natural or is this been enhanced? It's all natural. I'm not super familiar with vitamin water like that, yeah. How is soft rank gang feeling about the Nause epidemic in Los Angeles?
Starting point is 00:29:19 That shit's crazy. Bad, good. God damn airheads. Is it going down in Long Beach? Bro, yes. It is now. Like, bro, they hitting it straight from the tank, no balloons now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:31 That shit trip me out. So that's a lot worse for you, right? I don't know if it's worse for you, but I never knew that that was. was like a thing except for yeah we would have like the um you know like the the the cooking grade like we get like a big ass thing but the things they have now where they're just customized brand it looked like back to me exactly yeah that's why because when i think scrella he came in with one of those and i was like oh so that's what it looks like to make it look cool yeah i feel bad though because it's like in the short term it's a fun-ass drug and it's not that big a deal but then in the long term
Starting point is 00:30:05 as you keep going with it, people are losing use of their legs, people are half retarded off that shit. Dear God, do you guys have a preference for Henny over Don Julio I guess compared to the size of these bottles? Jesus Christ!
Starting point is 00:30:20 You got cups, bro? Do we have cups? I don't actually know. I feel like that's going to really enhance this interview probably. Yeah, we're going to turn it up a notch. That's like a year of Hennessy. Yeah, you can't blaze.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I just look at that and just think about heartburn. Yeah. The dark take you to a dark place. What is that? That's like the $120 bottle. Oh, is that effect? Not that kind of.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Not this one, though. Not that one. They drink less. B-S-O-P. The Prins? Yeah. Okay, so let me ask this question. When the 22ster,
Starting point is 00:30:57 aka Big 22, aka Adam 22, came to Long Beach, aside from who I was filming with, how did you guys feel about seeing, like, areas that you guys frequent, documented on no jumper were you guys excited to see that because that ended up did not know but that ended up being like one of the biggest videos we ever did like 10 million views or some shit I feel like that shit was cool because like not too many people are familiar
Starting point is 00:31:18 with Long Beach and like I feel like sometimes we might get like a like a bad rap because people feel like it's a lot of weirdos out there and shit but that shit was cool seeing it from like because honestly like they came from like the same shit we came from so wherever they would take you that's the same shit we go to the time right now that's dope but um so obviously i did that vlog with somebody that is apparently ops with you guys stupid young is that an old long-standing beef or is that more of like a recent thing who shit i don't know that dude what's this say on it oh yeah oh so you took that from somebody damn all right didn't know that was going to come out all right here we are these fools is not
Starting point is 00:32:08 playing in this light so was it was it hard for you to enjoy that vlog though because it was somebody that you guys don't get along with or was it kind of cool it was a beautiful vlog man okay the way outside and everything that sure was cool okay we're not here to speak you know down upon anybody you know they shed a light on the city and that's all we're nice guys you know who was the first one to take shots on wax though is the question on wax like on a song because when i was watching uh like one of the swan stories videos or one of the videos i forget the sort of like summing up the the the beef and shit they played a clip where he said basically
Starting point is 00:32:39 TRG and anyone everything they represent yeah and I was like aha I ain't even heard that for real? I'm not sure what song in those guys in music okay so you guys are trying to be better than that and not take it to wax yeah we we don't need to you know you know I sit here in a asshole and I get your name like oh I feel like you guys have a lot of motion currently and I feel like the momentum is kind of shifting a bit you know what I mean and uh do you feel like right now
Starting point is 00:33:07 Now, like, since you guys became popular, is there a lot more pride amongst your specific community or people like, yeah, we got some, we got a group of guys really reping us properly. Yeah. You feel like the hood's behind y'all, like. Most definitely. A thousand percent. We just, you know, just stay humble, you know. Is that pressure or is that, does that feel good or is it both?
Starting point is 00:33:30 Both. Like, you know, it's, we like the voice for this shit and the face, you know, but at the end of the day, we got our guys behind our guys behind us. our back and we're going to keep it pushing we're not worried about the next man we're just going keep doing our thing absolutely absolutely that's smart because i mean the the beefing with each other shit it's like it will give you a short-term boost in terms of views and everything but in the long run that shit is not going to have you uh you know headline and roll aloud or nothing no it's really not yeah we're trying to you know make music and get on the radio So we're trying to be just knowing on YouTube or Instagram.
Starting point is 00:34:08 We're trying to go global with this shit. Really? So that's in your head when you guys are recording is that you're trying to make some shit that's not just going to be cool for you and the homies. Like some shit that you can listen to on a regular right through the city. Like, we ain't talking about nobody. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:21 It's just shit people could vibe out to. Is that also just part of the morals that you guys grew up with? Like, we don't really want to take shots. We don't want to bring street shit to the music because that's just advertising it. To the cops and shit. We had too many indictments and shit, gang injunctions. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:34:39 First to do stupid-ass shit like that. Oh, so you guys have had to deal with all that kind of shit? Not us. I don't know. Older generations. Yeah, the older generation. Do you see how real these guys are, bro? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:50 They're literally, I just do music. Mm-hmm, just a rapper. So how did you get that chain? We found it. I found it, bro. This shit. It was on the floor. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:35:01 They did a scrimmage? Nah, it was just on the floor. hanging out. I bought it at the pawn shop, keep it the buck. It was an obtained item. The item got obtained. I don't know how it was obtained,
Starting point is 00:35:14 but lost and found. Shit, if you want it back, but no. 50,000. I'll see a pretty penny. You want me? Hold on it.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I'll keep it. I can negotiate that. You want to wear it? No. That's right, Adam. I'm not trying to be the mascot. That's right, Adam.
Starting point is 00:35:32 You ever seen that movie, The Little Rascals? Yeah. Is that like, I don't know, does that have a special meaning to you guys just because of what your hood's called? That's a good movie. Yeah, alfalfa.
Starting point is 00:35:45 See, y'all should make a song called Alfalfa. I'm not going to lie if they actually took the little rascals like... He man, woman haters, clothes. Remember that? Darla. Darla K. I don't remember a lot from that movie.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I remember that, yeah. Oh, shit. But, like, if y'all, like, actually flipped the that logo top rank that would be kind of hard so where did the top rank gang name come from you guys been calling yourselves that for a while or was that just when you got into the music you were like
Starting point is 00:36:16 oh we got to switch up the meaning of the three letters I have my little Instagram name it was top rank gray and then you know it's like acronyms if you know you know for the set and then it just came naturally like top rank self-explanatory you know
Starting point is 00:36:34 When I first heard the... When I first heard the X-4 song, back outside, I thought he was shouting you guys out. You feel me? Because he's like... Everybody want to be top-ranked. You feel me? I'm not really top-ranked.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah. You feel me. So I... Do you all feel like you're making a big impact outside of your community? Do you feel like there's other races, other communities, laughing y'all shit? I want to tell y'all there is. Yeah, yeah. In case y'all don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I'd be getting food and shit. In the east side, there was this dude. And working at McDonald's, he was giving me my order. He was like, hey, bro, aren't you in a rap route? And I was like, yeah, he was like, you're Gleazy Gray. He wanted to take a picture. I was like, nah, I got to go, bro. I pulled up to a smoke shop randomly in Daigle, and I pulled up.
Starting point is 00:37:20 The music was playing out the smoke shot, right? It was my song. And I'm tripping out. I'm like, why is my phone still playing? You know, my song. And I look, I'm like, what the fuck? My videos on the TV, all type of shit. I was just tripping out.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I'm like that shit crazy like it's really going somewhere. Hey, we noticing us in like the randomest places like everywhere. Just stop you like, hey, you're this and that. But you're too paranoid to take a picture? Nah, I don't want to hold up the line. I'm not going to get out, stand in front of the drive-thru. Oh, yeah. That's all messy.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I'm mad. Yeah, you want to support the fans and let them get the photo and everything, but you also don't want to like put yourself in a position that you wouldn't normally. Yeah. You also don't want people to know that you eat in McDonald's. I feel like these guys could be billionaires and they were still eating McDonald's. No offense. It just feels like you guys are true to the soil.
Starting point is 00:38:14 And that's just how it's probably going to go. Most definitely. We're bowling noodles and all that. I was almost hammered for a chely hit, buddy. Lately, I've been eating some exotic shit. Oh, yeah? Switching up my taste buzz. What did you miss macking on?
Starting point is 00:38:28 I just got into, like, raw sushi. year I've been a fire good a fives just a whole bunch of other shit like just exploring man yeah that's real I hate when I say a rabble I really get big and famous and they really got money and they still can only eat fast food I'm like damn oh you got to open your mind you go into the ruth Chris it's like you could still just get a steak you could still get some like relatively simple food it's not like everything is like from another planet you know and what you really eating food all over the planet you know and what you really eating food all over the planet in every different culture and shit you really start to realize
Starting point is 00:39:05 like the shit's kind of all the same rice and chicken for the most far yeah everywhere in the world i was staying in barcelona we had a bunch of argentinian homies and they're like we're going to make you food like the kind of food that we eat they made us fried chicken and rice right that's pretty much what we would eat on any given night too my friend yeah all across the world it'd be like that yeah who you guys actually listen to on a day-to-day basis What's the music that you guys with? Rio. Rio, the young OG.
Starting point is 00:39:35 All day. Rio and Polo. I'll be listening to J-Bow. I'll be a lot of people, man, little baby. Let me check my shit right now. A lot of underground artists. Run it up J-bo. The other J-bo, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:53 I interviewed him a while back, yeah. What's a thing again there? Wee's Gotti. There's a whole bunch of. of people. Cascot. Cash kit. We interviewed him together.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Crazy. Thank you. Because you know what? Wordplay crazy. That's what I. Thank you guys. But they just named a couple of like Detroit Flint artists, which I feel like when Rio gets out, it's going to be like, it's going to be a real problem.
Starting point is 00:40:18 All the people's spots are going to be shook up. Oh, yeah. When Rio come home, come on, bro. Like he, he's added so much. Man. To, um, obliterating the intentions, man. of every listener and making sure you you gotta have something on every bar your set-ups your set-ups got a punch now he made me want to rap because he with him i kind of realized like oh it's like all
Starting point is 00:40:40 about being clever and funny bro's funny as he had like the best funniest jokes ever it's like stand-up comedian plus rapper you know his work at the crazy yeah broke punch in every other bar he's staying out is all about yeah so okay that's a good question for y'all fools What's the fucking process recording? You got five fools. How do we make a song? How does it happen naturally? Who got a hook?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Who got a hook? We go off that. And then shit, everybody drop eights. We try to match the... Or we'll go back to back. Whatever the hook was about, we try to match that. Like shit. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:41:22 They're applying songwriting principles, Adam. And a lot of younger artists don't even think about shit. That is true. Like that. You got to make the ass match the thighs. You're going to make the chorus match the verse. The BBO got to match the thought. Yeah, you got to properly...
Starting point is 00:41:40 Look, I'm not going to lie. What y'all fools are doing right now is super duper hard. Do y'all feel like there's... Do y'all feel like... Do you feel like the West Coast in general right now? People are looking down on us. They're saying that we can't make music that appeal to the rest of the country.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Do y'all feel like your music falls in that? category are you trying to bring up I feel like the reason why they say that is because because I hear too busy mentioning who they beef with they given like name job yeah they they give in the other person too much attention as opposed to the music they're not the gang shit yeah yeah back and forth and shit and all that's just stupid and there's too many people honestly making music that sounds like bad draco rip-offs exactly the same like it's just them sort of no hooks no variety it's just sort of blah blah you're gonna have a song hook bro, that shit got to be stupid.
Starting point is 00:42:32 A little bit of power there. Yeah. I thought sometimes I listen to drill rappers who add hooks and I'm just like, oh God, I guess we're better without a hook. Right. I don't know what y'all think about this because y'all talked about J-bo. I really like the way that full structure songs because he'll have not really a hook, but it'll start off the songs.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Yeah, yeah. And then he'll bring it by that he won't have anything in between. The hook won't come in between. Just be at the beginning and the end of the song. type of shit you feel me like i feel like y'all play with the song structure a lot and yeah it's just funny how organized it seems like i would think that y'all had a manager or like a songwriter curating everything but y'all really doing all that shit natural yeah we just going there have fun vibe out this shit really like therapy really you know how many times are y'all fought each other
Starting point is 00:43:20 like be honest guys come out shit man y'all fought so many times you and your brother for sure have got down as kids you know what we grew up that shit, you know, we can have tough conversations and talk to each other, you know. Oh, tough conversations, bro. So you had to blast your own brother. Or you managed to stop short of that. Shit, man, just, if I'm slipping, you know, pick me up. Get up on that.
Starting point is 00:43:48 But that's funny talking to you guys and realizing that you guys feel like you cannot break up. Like, it would be impossible. You're so close that there's no way. I'm going to have to see you tomorrow. I'm going to have to see, you know what I'm saying? Like, they're coming up, nigga, you gotta be there.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Even behind this, this rap shit, we still gotta see each other, you know? 1,000%. That's a level of commitment, though, because that's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:44:09 there's nothing, like, there's nothing you can do that is going to be so f***ed that I'm going to have to really stop with you. And if it's that bad, then you can't even come around
Starting point is 00:44:18 in general. We got to officially, you're out. Yeah. And then nobody can, we got to, we got to, like,
Starting point is 00:44:23 really, if you're out of here, you're out of here. Facts. Yeah, that's a put-off. That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Whatever physical stuff might come with that. I don't know. But, like, for sure, that's, like, a different level when you sort of accepted that. But at the same time, like, you've seen the Kuivoan offset thing. We never thought they would be able to not talk for years and years. They got there. Now, but to be fair, they also did a pretty good job of, like, not talking about why. So, like, still they have, like, a level of respect where they could have done interviews and talked about that shit.
Starting point is 00:44:52 And they still kept a level of respect, you know? So essentially, you guys have to wait until you're millions up. and then you can start beefing. Well, that does put a totally different level of pressure on it. Like, it's kind of, it's easy to have a degree of solidarity when you're, like, still really coming up and you have to grind together, you know? Once you have the millions and you can afford to chill the fuck out, it's a little different. So, wait, how many formal members of TRG are there?
Starting point is 00:45:17 The rap group. The rapper, the top ring gang. It's like five. It's the fifth one. He's a little bit late. Oh, okay. Yeah, this is the one that was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Shit, that might be complicated. Yeah, if you kind of go behind him, the camera will still be able to see a little bit, maybe. The dark trip, come on, man. Yeah. So, all right, how do you feel about Long Beach as like a hip-hop city? Does it feel strong or does it feel like there's not much going on? Snoop did this thing, you know, shit right now. ain't nobody ages ago ain't nobody really ain't nobody put on after that snoop really created like a level of
Starting point is 00:46:02 expectation for a long beach that was going to be hard to match no matter what because he had one of the biggest careers in southern california history california history you know so it's it's kind of like when you think about all the other beach cities along the coast then nobody really ever talks about when it comes to rap ain't nobody talking about hermosa manhattan beach and shit like that grant it's like a very different environment, but like Long Beach has always been kind of certified in L.A. rap because of what happened early on. And obviously there's been plenty of other talent after that, but it kind of like cemented Long Beach early on.
Starting point is 00:46:39 And you expand on this concept because I do believe, and y'all correct me if I'm wrong, that I brought this up to y'all the first time. But I feel like, I mean, no, it's not that I feel like it's a fact that a lot of the greatest rappers in the history of Los Angeles are not from Los Angeles. They from Long Beach. They from Compton. You feel me? Englewood adjacent cities that are a part of L.A. County.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Like, y'all are a part of L.A. County, but is, y'all your own universe, really? For sure. So, okay, thank you for saying that. What would you say is the biggest difference for someone that ain't never been nowhere near here between Long Beach and Los Angeles? Long Beach is a little cleaner. I'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:47:24 He's not wrong. A little bit more contained. Man, I spent so much time in Long Beach that it's like, I just feel like I know it way better than I know any other part of Southern California. You know, it's like... That's like your stompings. It was for so long that I was just going to the bars and doing coke and drinking every night for so long. That'll really help you feel like you know a city. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:45 When you're wandering home shit faced in the middle of the night. Yeah. Really taking risk. Walking through bad neighborhoods to get home. drunk as fuck. Like, y'all could really abduct me. Not only coke, but I'm wondering, like, because my Cambodian homies were always really into ecstasy.
Starting point is 00:48:01 That's my favorite drug. I'm in the margin. What's like the current state of, like, thizzles in Long Beach? Yeah, it used to be big. Yeah. They used to it. That shit kind of died down.
Starting point is 00:48:12 For real? Yeah, it died down a lot. That's a shame. Yeah, back in the day, everybody would be off that shit. Everybody's the galaxy guy. Oh, there it is. Damn, if y'all had rolled up with the nitrous, I would have been dying. Yeah, pass the balloon full.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Thank you. Thank you. That's what I wanted. Okay. No, I'm a perk goblin. I need the top-ranked gang reaction to Adam 22's verse on the no-jumper cypher. Honestly, good, bad, ugly. You was talking that shit.
Starting point is 00:48:44 That was crazy. I didn't think you could do that. I'm going to play this for my bitch. I'm a real rapper. A real rapper. the dunes down to the birds, right? Yeah, when I go to ride bars, a lot of times where a normal rapper would talk about shooting somebody, I'll say something about fucking a girl.
Starting point is 00:49:02 That's one thing I noticed. That's just kind of what I got going on. It's accurate. It's all about guns, bitches and bodies, you know what? He knows. That's a fendie fact. A man after my own heart, clearly, you know what I mean? So, do you think that the streets need another 22-Poc verse or what?
Starting point is 00:49:18 Oh, man, I got so much of the works. I do. too. The streets hungry. We got a song called No Jumper. Oh, I didn't even know that. Not out yet. Oh, all right. That makes sense. All right. Damn. But so, all right. I'll sell it to you.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Let's talk. So do you, but do you guys around with the gas? Or is that just like the galaxy gas? I don't know why. I tried it. I seen the homie wig out off it. I had to stop. Oh, really? I seen the homie face plant. I said, nigg. If I see you hit this, shit I'm punching on you.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I was at a party a couple weeks ago and we found the room where everybody was doing balloons. I pursued it to, yeah, it was like a whole separate room. What the f***? Just dudes going back to back. Yeah, yeah, no. I was thinking that. I'm like, it's pretty funny that there is
Starting point is 00:50:09 no coke in this room and it's just blunt being passed around and dudes doing the gas and I'm just, and I hit a balloon a couple of times and got the craziest head rush of my life where it's like, oh, that could have been me collapsing and smashing my fucking face open on the ground if I didn't
Starting point is 00:50:25 have it enough to like grab myself which I only did it once or twice before that happened I was like oh shit I've heard this shit is a little scary I don't know bro I don't know if I ever told you I had a homie catch my head pause literally like like I want to say five centimeters from the concrete
Starting point is 00:50:43 we had a party in the west side doing balloons blah da da next thing I know is just all I see is nothing you feel me I saw a black with a light spinning and then he's like I guess he had caught me he said and then like when I'm coming to when I'm coming back to reality he all like you had a party you just fished on some naws I'm like oh fish me and you pass out you feel me yeah yeah that's a fish yeah you don't want our fish off the knob it is all biz ahead but all busy with that being said bro
Starting point is 00:51:16 y'all are y'all are like being a part of OTR there's like a kind of conglomerant, a dope artist. You got Chito, you feel me, you got Lefty, you know, you got from, from, was bro from 6-0, you feel me, Pac-Man, thank you. Great roster. Shout to 22 G-Fay, you feel me, from that. He's on our next album coming out, too. Top score.

So y'all, so y'all, that's what I was about to ask. So what's the collaborations between you and other OTR artists looking like? We got like three so far. Yeah, yeah.

We had a, we was supposed to go on tour with Phoenix, but he canceled his tour and a bunch of shit. Yeah, but we're going to be with Grito and chest moves next month, starting October. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, that's going to be lit. If somebody was coming from out of town and they wanted to go along and be.
Starting point is 00:53:20 and there was a couple of you know they have an afternoon to do a couple things what would you suggest we're going to hit up the aquarium perhaps yeah we're going to i've been talking about taking my kid to the aquariums and go to the aquarium change your life touch tank touch tank oh shit don't stick my hand in there throw my kid in with the whale or some shit figure it out she with free willie but all right we're going to hit the aquarium she'll try some good cambodian food yeah bodeon foot out there is unmatched Okay. You can't beat Long Beach, Cambodian food.
Starting point is 00:53:54 All that and all that. What's the main difference between, like, Cambodian food and culture and, like, Vietnamese? Mm. Yeah. Like, we spicy. They're more, like, kind of, like, fishy food. Okay. Got a lot of light food.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yeah, yeah. I mean, Vietnamese food fire, too. Don't get me wrong. Right. It was. Long Beach for our first had fun. That's a good point. And them fire sandwiches they be having the bombings.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Yeah, boys. Yeah, boys. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah. So do you all have, like, is there a Cambodian equivalent to bond me and all that? Nongpang pati. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:54:30 How about this? How about, say, hypothetically, I'm a single man. I meet a Cambodian shorty. Okay. I want an impress her. What do I need to know? Give me a little bit of game that might be applicable. I don't think they want other races.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Well, in theory, they want me on their side. So they want to try to get me in there. This Adam. This Adam. Anything, any general thing? You need a bottle of henny and a pack of vapes. The galaxy gas is crazy. Hey, please, let me find out you the one that's part Taiwanese, bro.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Let me find out that you. Yo, pulling out Galaxy Gas on a first date is funny as, you got to do like an Instagram skit like that. Except Duno did one about Galaxy Gas the other day and got taken down. So maybe I don't know that. Yeah, we're going to say. We ain't trying to buy it. When I watched it, he's not even hitting the balloon. He's just holding the balloon, and he's kind of like pretending to hit it.
Starting point is 00:55:26 They still got him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Is this shit considered a drug? Because they'd be selling this. Oh, yeah. It's totally legal. I feel like at some point they're going to do, it's going to be like four local.
Starting point is 00:55:35 They're going to do something. But the problem is, is it's hard to regulate it because people use it for cooking. They use it for dentistry. So if it went. The streets fucked up right now. I mean, they need it for literal products that are used on a daily basis, like whipped cream. Like, like, it was. I don't want to give too much game away,
Starting point is 00:55:52 but that's what we usually have to do is run through the damn supermarket and put the whip cream, the ready whip up our nose. That's how I first did the whip me. My homie worked at Dunkin' Donuts, and he showed me that you take the can and you're like, you only tilt it a little bit?
Starting point is 00:56:06 When I think about that, that was definitely not as powerful as when I see them doing the Galaxy Gats, and it's like, they fall down on the garage and start having a seizure. And y'all know, because I was sober for a long time. I think I was still sober when we first hung up. out or maybe I just started smoking and drinking again, but like I'm down to try the drugs
Starting point is 00:56:24 I used to enjoy. But like I feel like if I did nitrous right now, it would be kind of a lot more severe than I meant this. No, I've seen you do it like a little bit, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's why I, people will see me with a balloon in a photo and they're like, he's a nitrous right? I did one balloon.
Starting point is 00:56:41 This is not the kind of drug that you're going to have like a real problem if you do a little tiny bit. The problem is when you want to do it every day all day. He said pass me the balloon, not several balloons. And also, I'd be robbing my hell of the shit I don't do. Well, I'm grabbing about fucking trans people. Exactly. We're not on that type of time.
Starting point is 00:56:59 And over here, contrary. I think I'm going to stop doing that. Yeah? We get more gangsta with it. What do you all think? I'm going to keep it real. Does the 22 Puck need to, like, be more just authentic to himself or just keep trying to make y' all that? Man, it's time to spin.
Starting point is 00:57:12 That's it. Murder music. Go bend that block like to. Definitely. I got you, Chuckie Wackham. Up the murder-ray type music. I got you. Chuckie Wackham type music.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Thank you. My daughter, Chuckie Wackham did this. Oh. I'm on your beat. So something Adam's talked about a lot on the platform is the fact that, so there's all these different cities across the country with their own rap scenes. You see different fools blowing up, you know, from the different drill scenes. Would y'all fuck with popular rappers that are cracking in other cities?
Starting point is 00:57:46 Like, would y'all fuck with the fools from Chicago? Hell, yeah. With the fools from Philly, you know, Jacksonville, whatever. See, like, as a challenge, just to try to match day vibe. Like, because a lot of these, they have, I would say they're, like, the same drill type of style, but, like, it sounds completely different from, like, New York drill, Chicago drill. It's like, but just to, like, try to challenge yourself to try to mass their energy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Yeah. And I feel like that's a good way. for people in different markets because rap is like there's a time rap started out it was very regional you could tell someone was from the west the east and the south and then at a certain point like during the ringtone the soldier boy shit it all kind of became the same thing right and then it split up again so now we can really tell where somebody from when we hear their record like but there's all these different fools that are cracking in different areas so it'd be dope to see y'all eventually because y'all are like i'll look at y'all's top for y'all
Starting point is 00:58:46 subsection out here so i'd like to see collaborations with fools killing it in the other cities too that's just me though we got a whole tape coming out with trapland pat too so that's fucking sick yeah so that's like you know that's across whole with florida you know talk about that a little more that's how's it's it happened with him shit bro just he came out here uh yeah we was in the stew last night i think he was here the the day the store opened yeah yeah on this store up here less than a year ago but like almost a year ago like 10 months ago maybe so to be fair like so originally there was like the awesome shit store oh yeah yeah i'm talking about this rendition yeah and then it reopened in the past year but y'all in trapland pad that's a random kind yeah crazy yeah random
