No, first of all, welcome home yeah welcome how you been i'm platinum edition i can't complain you know what i'm saying talk that shit you got to talk that shit man i knew he's about to get real bad in here yeah i'm saying naturally naturally man look you back streets is waiting on you yeah man you're killing the

social media right now come on they just they're breaking down all your boys and saying you you're one of the best when they come to making the pain music and the real street shit man Where do you get your inspiration from to keep going, to keep pushing, to keep giving the streets what they need? I think I say I get it from them institutions. You know, them J-Pays, they go crazy. Them penitentiaries, they're waiting on it more than anybody. When I be seeing the homies come home after doing 10, 12 years, I don't even know them. They're from the different side of the flag, and they just embrace me wholeheartedly.

You know what I'm saying? They let me know I didn't help them get through a couple bids. or you know them years they don't walk them calendars down to my music and you know that's I think that's the that's why I get most of the just the motivation to keep pressing because it'd be a lot of times where I'd be like I'm tired of this shit man I'm for the far back but they give me that inspiration to know you're not connected with somebody most definitely yeah yeah it's bigger than that you're from the other side fucking with it too come on that's when you know how hard

you got to be going come on who don't even fuck with you yeah me Nick, don't even fuck with you, fuck with the shit. Ain't he supposed to be fucking with this shit, man. That shit too real. Then niggas just stop giving the fuck, man. I don't give a fuck, man. I listen to him. The nigga rap his ass out, man.

Definitely. Hey, man, is there anybody that you looking forward to seeing this year I had to be to the awards 2020? No, I'm tired of all these ugly-ass niggins made. He's home! Yeah, I didn't worry about none of these niggas made. What about some of these niggins' made? What about some of these?

Yeah, what about the women? I ain't going to lie. You know what I'm saying? I got my eye ain't fin to do. I ain't going to name drop. We ain't going to name drop. Hey, but look, though, I'm a fan of your gangster. You know what I'm saying?

When they told me I had to sit down with you, I said, oh, it's a gangster party. I'm functioning with the thugs. Most definitely. Man, we got much love for you, man. Hell yeah. Been out here rapping and look, man, like California, the whole musical landscape is changing, man. For sure. Where do you see yourself in the midst of the church?

change? Most definitely top ranked, big dog, but I'd just be trying to influence the young life, you know, because right now it's a lot of, it's gangster rap, and you know, the West Coast being known for gangster rap, but the difference is these niggas is going to jail and they're really getting spanked in real life. It's like a nigger running up a bag and he fumbling it. And so my whole thing is just showing the young life, like, you know, even though we cut from that cloth, nigga, you can still elevate, you can still, you know, run up a bag, bed, go buy some property, you know, enhance your style of living

and longevity. You can actually be here, nigga, you could wiggle and stiff form that system and judicial system. So basically, giving them game that, you know what I'm saying, that probably before, it went giving the game like that. Now, let me ask you this, though. You said the term gangster

rap. If you're a gangster, you're rapping about anything, ain't that gangster rap? Oh, I like that. If you're, oh, I like that. If you're a, And you rapping about anything, nah, but you know, the gangsters ain't going to feel anything. So I think gangster rap is for the gangsters, you know, that's, you connect with the gangers. But see, you can have a gangster rap that ain't violent.

It don't have to be violent and still be gangster rap. And that's what type of time and I've been on. Where it's just like. Because they're like, we know Miser a real nigga. Yeah, we ain't got to talk about, you know, splattering the niggins or nothing like that. I think it's more gangster when you don't do that. When you just get like Kendrick, he just wrapped his ass off. He didn't have to threaten the nigger or get violent.

You're right. He just outwrapped the nigger. I fuck with the baby. Exactly. And you know he'll spike him a rapper. Yeah. So no, whatever he's rapping about is gangster rap. I'll fuck with that.

I fuck with that. I see your perception. I'm fucking with you on that. Yeah. Because I remember like when they started using the term gangster rap to try to like degrade rap music. Because if it's just, you see how they do when rap, like when anybody get in trouble.

It could be Jeremiah Sean Kingston what they're going to say he is. It's the gangster rap. It's to try to put the image.

And they're influencing the kids. Right. You ain't listen to them that motherfucking sing about love. Come on.

How they do? Kids like music because they like it. They don't even understand a lot of the shit that's being said. Kids don't like

music based on the lyrics. They like the music based on how it make them feel, how they can turn up and it's just a bonus. if you got some shit

that's catchy enough for some kids to learn. Yeah. But the people you're connecting to on some other head they're in the pain and stuff like that they see it from that side

with all angles. The music is the music. The music is the music. But like you said, the ones that connect, the ones that shed tears, the ones that aggressively, you know,

bring me in for a hug. You know, it's the ones who actually identify with exactly what I'm saying. That's why I was, that's why I was spend that shit like that.

But you wanted a few rappers that, even when you had to go sit down, the streets waited on you. They still kept your music going. You ain't have to like light your fire again. Yeah. So like, now that you're back

and you're free, like, what are you doing, what are you doing to make sure that you stay out here? You know, they still got me on federal stipulations. They stiff as shit. But you're outside, though. I'm outside, though. I ain't going to lie. I feel like we don't beat up

outside our region enough. You know, we get caught up in our little, our little our little city, our state, and we don't get outside of enough. I've been, I've been rich for 10 years, and I ain't never been to Africa, Dubai, UK, et cetera. Yeah. I don't love you over here. I ain't got no stamps on a passport. So that's what type of time and I'm on.

I want to stamp. I want to tattoo that passport up and just see what the world look like, man, function with it on that type of time. They don't give you a different outlook that even start talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because you got the ability to connect with people all over the world, and that's amazing. bro knowing that you came from when you came from you've been through what you've been through

and you still got the positivity like your energy is amazing appreciate that we don't want to see you be nothing but successful come on come on maz it was some artists you listened to like that that inspired you to talk that pain talk the messy mars the jacca puck rest of peace is jacker most definitely uh Wayne uh DMX rest in peace X yeah uh you know I I come from that type of cloth. That's the type of shit I was on. That makes sense. I can see that.
