Starting point is 00:24:01 that 3.1. I got a guard, of course. Right. You got to guard that nigga. He may shoot it from the logo. Right. He might shoot it from out of bounds. He made. They made, do you what I'm saying? And we, and we be sitting there looking at the ref, like, what is that? Is that out of balance? You know what is that? Can you see, Karin?
Starting point is 00:24:16 I only want to play basketball. And I'm just like, ooh, I get to ask this nigga all my favorite. That's what I told that nigga. His hoop hoop dreams came true. I'm talking about you lost it. You did it for us. You made it out the hood, hooping. What?
Starting point is 00:24:32 That was an ultimate goal for me, boy. I didn't see myself doing that shit. Like, so look, okay, when you out there, you hooping, right? Because I know it politics. Like, what defers niggas from being new type of guys when they're going in and they handle their business and taking out of the energy and control the game versus you're just going out there being like a,
Starting point is 00:24:50 like a, like a, what's a dude with the braid? Don't say his name. What a dude with the braid? What a dude with the braid? You just play for the Spurred, but he played for the long, got the ugly laugh. Yeah, Kawhi. Like, see, he don't really got no emotion when he played. He just play good and just go sit out.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah. But see, like, somebody with sauce, they're going in there and do their thing, and they just take over the whole game. And, like, what defers people from being that type of player and just want to go in there and play the game? Maws really, that's who they are. Like, Kawhi, off the court, it's just like that. He's chill.
Starting point is 00:25:22 He don't really want a lot of attention. He's trying to go through the back. You know what I'm saying? really trying to be bothered, talk to people like that. He stayed with his, you know what I'm saying? That's who he is, like, it's cool, right? You got somebody like, like, Bronn loves, he, he explained to us even while we was playing together.
Starting point is 00:25:41 He like, I love, like, because I do too. I love the energy of a game. Like, I love the trash talk. I love the almost fighting. Yes. I like the fight or flight feeling. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm addicted to it.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I like that moment at the end of the game. when your best player got the ball and I'm supposed to stop him and everybody like yeah like I got my money on that yeah fuck that you see what I said don't let that nigger go left yes sir don't let him go yes sir that's my that's you know what I'm saying everybody yeah yes sir that's what I hear like yeah yes sir I live for that moment like oh shit it's on me yeah it's on me but it's like you got somebody like Brian that like I want to be in that seat like he get the end of the game on the other side. Now he the other
Starting point is 00:26:28 side looking at me, you know what I'm saying? Like I love that side too. It's just who I had to play with coming in. I got mellow, stack, wait your turn, Sean. You know what I'm saying? Trade out, Brian, you got to wait your turn. You know what I'm saying? It sucks. Because he's like, Bron, 16, 17 years
Starting point is 00:26:46 in, it's like, yeah, but he's slowing down, so wait to turn, gee. Until he run out. Like, until he stopped going to the ship, like, we kind of got to let him rock and it's it was hard to grow with with shit like that to be like when am i going to take a end of the game shot like i love doing that high school college like i love that moment but you might not getting that to that that role you know what i'm saying and mine's got to be cool with that and get stuck in the love so that part that's that's my championship you see what i'm
Starting point is 00:27:15 saying like bob like you like defense no i kind of just like that part i like i like pressure and i like everybody being like he got balls because i just i don't you know what i'm saying like i would love to be on the other side of it like yeah yeah i would love to have 25 shots of game to be like nah now i ain't fin to shoot these corner threes i'm gonna shoot what i want to shoot right you i'm gonna yank you how i want to yank you you what i'm saying i get the call the screens and shit like ain't gonna be all that maybe i don't like playing like that i like playing like this and this how we run it you see what i'm saying like that's why i love point guard when i came in I was a point guard. I had to go to move to three. I tore my ACL. They, man, we got
Starting point is 00:27:53 Raymond Felon. We got this guy. You know, he came back early, slide to two. You know what I'm saying? You can guard two to four. Put him at three, fucking. Put mellow at four. I'm gonna figure that. I was like, how to head you end up becoming the three? And I was like, I don't know what he was at first. I'm high. I'm just watching. You got to go ahead. This shit lit. Go ahead. This shit. Keep talking. This shit for 30 for 30. Hey, welcome back for 31. Uh, this ghetto audition, man. He ain't got to say shit. Keep talking your shit, bro. I'm telling you. We'll get to the shit in the minute.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Keep on, bro. No, it just, bro, you got to get trapped in, like, whatever it is for that ring. Like, and that's what I got trapped in. Like, sometimes I wish, like, I could go back and be like, man, when I came back from A.C. And I wasn't playing point guard. I should have just pulled how these young, they just be like, they'll go to the media, be like, I should be playing point guard. I want to trade.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I'm like, gee, maybe I should have just told my agent, like, yeah, tell them trade me if I ain't going back to the one. I ain't playing two. But something about me was like, no, like they're going, you know what I'm saying? I'm going to play two for the rest of this year. They're going to throw me back to one. You know what I'm saying? After that, I get my chance to go, you know what I'm saying? But it was like we got coach change. They got different plans for it. They see it different. It's like my draft GM. It's like my draft GM. It's like my shit went that way. So it's politics like that way. It's not really, it wasn't really politics. It's just situation like, yeah. Now, bro draft me. You know what I'm saying? He's like, yeah, I'm the GM. Yeah, you're a good GM. I got you. You're a good GM. You're a good GM. Get him what he wants. He draft me, right?
Starting point is 00:29:27 And he tells me that, like, yeah, this is your team. We got this head coach right here. Right. So he's my head coach. Right. Now, he's like, cool. I love I'ma at the one. I love playing a big point guard.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Boom. We have a season where we ain't doing too well. He got to make a change. Before he want to make the change, they fire him. now he's a coach but he always seen me in college as like I don't really think he a point guard
Starting point is 00:29:55 I think he a two I want him to score he athletic he's strong I want him to guard the two guard too I don't think I want him pressure in the one all the time I want to play a smaller one so he go throw me at the two
Starting point is 00:30:06 but he coming in like you know what I'm saying he's just like in my mind just works so he's mind run that so it's like I could either be the disobedient child that's like I ain't doing that
Starting point is 00:30:18 And I always looked at other people and been like, bro, why you be doing that, bro? We're trying to win. Like, what is it to niggas? You know what I'm saying? And then I looked at the career-wise. So sometimes I go back and be like, man, I wish I would have been a little dickhead about it. Like, but would I have been a champion? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:30:34 See what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Say that one more time. Like, say that one more time. One more time. I could have been that guy that, like, pouted until you gave me my 25 shots and I might have been an all-star, whatever. I could have got that lane, but would I have been a champion? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:30:52 Like, I don't know. I don't know. Because I still, you know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like I had knee injuries. Like, I had shit happen.

Like, you know, they started looking at the surge, you know, people are kind of like different. I think so. I think on the business side of the thing, if you were just a businessman. Right. And you like, take this guy at 26, never had surgery, no problems, nothing. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I don't know how much I'm going to use this guy that I'm about to sign. Right. But I got this guy. He's 30. He's been through a couple surgeries. Mm-hmm. That's how niggas, I think that's how they look at it sometimes. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:38:17 Like, you won't see the difference in the two until the playoffs. Talk your shit. No, no, for real. Like, it'd be cool to have anybody with you until the war come. And then it'd be like, mm, yeah, you might, y'all might want to sign something over there. Y'all might want to go pick him up. He ain't going for that.
Starting point is 00:38:36 You can play for real. Yeah, all that out the window, that cool shit be gone. It'd be like, all right, it's time to play now. We gotta beat them. four times, yeah, come get Eamon, come on. Talk your shit, because they need you. The Hawks do. But they mean, I'm just saying, like,
Starting point is 00:38:52 I look different on paper when it's the playoffs. Like, during the regular season. You do play way better to play out, my nigga. I do say that. But it's, you got to, in the playoffs, you're not doing, during the regular season, bro, I may play, you got to think, I'm always going to guard the best player.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Right, they do, they do. They do. They do how you doing that? Take me in Cleveland. Right. Say we go on the West Coast. We go play Sacramento. The King?
Starting point is 00:39:22 Yeah. We go play the Clippers. I'm going to chase Chris Paul through at least a hundred ball screens. Right. That's back when I was playing with Cleveland, I'm saying. Yeah, because they down show Randy. And then you're going to have LA, who back then, who we had, that was when cold when we were there.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Yeah, I think that was when cold was there. Yeah. Who else we would? No, no, no. Cold was... Cove might have been hurt. But he was... Yeah, I think he was throwing him.
Starting point is 00:39:50 He might have been hurt. But I'm gonna have to guard... Who was over that? Deangler Russell. I'm gonna have to chase somebody. That's cool. That man could put it in a hoop. I'm done thinking about the snitch shit.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Oh, yeah. He can play. He can play. I don't know why he did that either, but he definitely could play. G-Code. I don't know why he did that. That's not even how he gave it up. The times I've been around him. That ain't how he gave it up.
Starting point is 00:40:12 He just ain't had the right chance. I don't know what. He tripped out. Any right. That ain't no new shit. Did. But yeah, I might have to guard him and I might have two good games. And then we may play Golden State where it's a T&T game.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I may not have nothing left. I got to chase Steph now and Clay. I'm not, I probably wouldn't shoot it the best. Right. You know what I'm not? Not even that. That's my job. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:41 And when I get exhausted. like that. My job is to tell niggas like, hey, gee, I'm gonna make sure that he can't get off, but I'm feeling it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, and that's where like the game get different. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:40:54 when you got the playoffs, now I could do that. I'm icing, but I'm playing you again. I don't have to guard a whole new style. Right, I got the same style for the same so now to lock you down. You want to play ball screen? We're going to play ball screen. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Hey, you're going to screen dirty. Perfect. I see you Saturday. You know what I'm saying? That's cool. Like, I'm going to argue with the ref and make it a scene no more. I'm not doing that no more. I have an issue with this man.
Starting point is 00:41:26 We'll deal with it, bro. You know what I'm saying? We'll get to that. That's all. And then you go out there and play. I'm going to ice up. Like, I know, okay, cool. They're going to make sure they hit my right hip.
Starting point is 00:41:35 They think I can't slide right. All right, cool. I see what they are. Don't trip. I see what you on. But it's like some people. Some people don't look at the game like that. Some people look at the game like, did I make my shots?
Starting point is 00:41:44 I miss my shots. I put this. I don't look at it like that. I'd be looking at it like, damn. So Steph's gonna start every attack through the legs. Damn, okay. You know what I'm saying? Kimber gonna do a step back now.
Starting point is 00:41:59 He in a step back rhythm, so he on his step back. So if I take away his step, oh, okay, that's how I see it. Like, I'll watch highlights and see like, damn, that's three straight highlights. Don't give them the salt, man. Don't get them. I need to learn how to play, bro. Look, if y'all ain't going to pick me up, I might as well. You might as well.

I ain't, it ain't like a DJ gonna be forcing niggas to listen to me and shit. It's just like if they play it in the mix, yeah, if they play it in the mix, they're like, damn, that shit was smooth, what was that? Oh, that's Imar shit? Damn. Yeah. I wanted to feel like that. Like, I don't, I want to see

And Maas just be like, I don't know. Nick, you know that shit, the one where they had played it and then... And they're gonna talk about the biggest celebrity. Then they had the nigga, he came with the... Yeah, that one. Yeah, like, I don't want it to be there. I wanted to be somebody could come up to you like, no, like, spit a real verse.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Right. And be like, no, that shit was dope when you said that, like, that's half my life. You know what I'm saying? Like, damn, riding around with... Mm-hmm. Thotties and your rap. But that's what I did. I rap on this show all the time, and every time I throw tities in that nigg be like,

You dig what I'm saying? So how does that transition, you know what I'm saying? Like even just being in one household?
Starting point is 00:57:49 Because now she's a platinum artist. She got gold, you know, hits. She's doing her motherfucking thing. Really got one of the best songs I love. You dig what I'm saying? So how does it feel like having a platinum artist wife just being supportive to your music? You know, this shit can be, this shit can get tough.
Starting point is 00:58:05 It's really dope, man. And honestly, I've been told her I was like, you ain't got to feature me on nothing. Like, I don't want it to seem like a force. I'd rather have my fan base to where it's like, I'm already doing a house of blues show, To where it's like it makes sense, like yeah, he's bringing his wife out. But when we was doing the album, because you know what I'm saying like I sit in on the writing sessions and shit
Starting point is 00:58:30 My pen is always her pen if I'm saying like sometimes it'd be like she be like no give him credit like he was in there helping me do the shit You know what I'm saying but I always felt like nigger did right up look he's going crazy they go if they're doing something They ain't knock you know we just gotta go down let no cook everybody put be in here You're gonna have me on tilt. You're gonna have me on tilt. You know what you? Yeah. Hell, buddy, fuck, man.

Starting point is 00:59:07 You did, you know. Everybody's gonna be here. I didn't know we ain't. No, that's cool. But I'm like, yeah. I'm like, we got caught. But that's what I'm talking about swimming, man. Everybody ain't swim.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Everybody can't swim. Like, they can't swim. Like, they can't do. We all reach you. You did what I'm saying. Oh, it's all right, man. We all go reach for something in this motherfucking end. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Somebody got a point there. I got it as the world's 70% water. I am the spotter. Shoot that way. Man, get the man out of here. Get that guy out of here. No, but like I was saying, before I get, I forget. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Like, she, she wanted like, While we was in that writing session, she really wanted me to try and come up with something for her to rap. And then when I like gave her the cadence and shit, I really was, you know what I'm saying? It was late, so my voice was all raspy. So she's like, no, hey, just,
Starting point is 01:00:08 why don't you just try and write something in it, just do it in that voice? I go to write and then they came back with the words that, wake up love. So I'm like, oh, okay. That's why one of my daughter. when I delivered it, I was posted like, I wanted to drink water and all that.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Like, that shit was one take to, I was like, yes, perfect, like, leave it like that. And I'm like, damn, gee, like, I don't even, I ain't get to clip my, like, you know what I'm saying? My shit, it really sound like I really woke up. Exactly, like, because she already saw, like, her artistry is more like, I see it. And once she see it, that's it.
Starting point is 01:00:40 That's it. That's it, she's like, they ain't gotta see it. They'll see it when I do the video. They'll see it. But she more so made me tap into people gotta see you, do it. Like, Hannah King always be telling me that, like, no, we got to see you do it, see you walk it, like, we got to see you deliver it, like, we got to see how you see it in your head, all that, because that's the only way we can rate you as artists. We can't really
Starting point is 01:01:04 go off, oh, here, click on this link, click on this link, click on this link, like. So Tiana's more so like, you got a video in your mind, she's like, oh, yeah, I can see it. Like, she listened to the song and she's like, oh, that shit sounds like you just on the desert, like, You know what I'm saying? With the brown cloak on and for some reason you shirtless. I don't know why you shirtless. We'll figure out why you shirtless. There's a reason behind that.
Starting point is 01:01:29 You see what I'm saying? But she just. She's visionary. She can see it. And it's like being around that excitement and that energy. It's natural for me to drop my guard up. Oh, I ain't going to go that hard because then everybody going to think I ain't focused. It's like little by little being with her.
Starting point is 01:01:44 It was damn they're like freeing me. Like, gee, nigga, okay, cool. You shut up and you acted like you didn't rap for, I, I don't know how long. Did you get the Sprite deal? No, kick rocks. You know what I'm doing? I ain't doing nothing but getting older.
Starting point is 01:01:57 What I'm acting like I don't like rapping for because y'all don't like it. It ain't cool, bro. Don't put me on your commercial. That's cool. Like, I ain't tripping. Like, let me, I'm gonna still build my brand to the point where, you're all asking to be on the commercial.
Starting point is 01:02:10 You see what I'm saying? Because if the album do good, now you same brand is gonna be like, oh, well, he hot on this end. Like, I don't know. They wasn't giving. We always believed in you. That's how it goes.
Starting point is 01:02:21 But it's like, it got to the point where that fear of it, like Tiana going to cross lines. Like she's not with the whole, like you got to, I got to remind her if we're going to have to, you know what I'm saying, the cameras on and shit. Like, it's just like, bro, this is what it is. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like we're going to have to start desensitizing people to it. It's like, do y'all can hit a, like you said, you could hear the microphone when somebody do something. Hey, Joe, stop that shit. Hey, cut that shit out, Joe.

Starting point is 01:11:34 Brigh we had to go home like ain't no going back in there we went from the church ass-whoop and crib but when I went back I was a legend they were like let him say something find that boy something to do right the Lord moves through him everybody had a better Sunday I did that way that's real though but it's like like him just doing that like saying I like that like telling yourself is kid I liked that I love that I'm gonna do that like I'm so happy that's what make I feel like that's what make me the man I am like saying I said I was gonna do it and I'm doing it right I told myself I'm ramping like you gonna rap you know
Starting point is 01:12:18 I'm saying if a nigga diss you won't dissing back right you know what I'm saying if it go down it go down if you you know what I told myself these things and then I got to some of these lines and I'm like oh I gotta get my contract first don't drop that but I'm like I should have dropped that bro because I just basically told myself you ain't good enough to do that and they still want you. At the end of the day, that's what Damien Lillard is proven.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Right. To me. Going crazy. Nice, too. He's like, I'm going to drop 60 to where, so what if I were at? I'm clearly doing something right. Right. You get what I'm saying? Like, and
Starting point is 01:12:52 I wish I was more tapped into that. Like, I didn't, but like I said, when my career didn't go to where it's like, you get 20 shots of game, you're the main guy. Like, I settled into playing the road because I'm like gee I could get a ring with mellow I can get a ring with brawn like that's what I was thinking I'm like gee I get to play with jason kear
Starting point is 01:13:13 Rashid wallis right if I don't shoot fuck it fuck it fuck it right she is my teammate bro like I was kicking it with Rashid while picture Rashid Wallace picking you up bro lit with the patch but it's just like it was you am saying like these is my hero like Jason key and my favorite player bro like it was like Jay Kid, like, hey, rook, I need you to go grab, you know what I'm saying? Because I tore my ACL, so I was like a rookie until I had finished my 82. So even when my second year in the league, when I had him as a vet, it was like, but it was like just for him to jokingly say, they really didn't have me do a lot.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Having Tyson Chandler, Jason Kid, like, I remember being in Chicago up in the stairs screaming. Tyson Chandler going crazy. I'm screaming top of my lungs, bro. And then I'm playing next to you, niggas. It's like, I don't mind if I don't shoot a couple times. You pay your dudes, cool. Part of me wanted to do the asshole shit where I'm like, no, fuck this, give one of shots.
Starting point is 01:14:09 But I feel like it went better because I got a ring, bro, and I got to learn, I got to know the game. Even if they politically don't give me my 30 shots, if we have a one-on-one tournament one day, y'all gonna see it. Nog gonna be like, why you ain't dude at the game? If you watch the games, instead of looking at the box score, you'll see I didn't touch it.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Through three threes, that'd say I went O for three for two of them was half-court heaved at the end of the shot. At the end of the quarter and one of them was a shot clock damn near a violation, but I got it off because I'm seeing if I could put it on the rim
Starting point is 01:14:43 to see if Tristan Thompson could tip it back in. I know I ain't got a shot at this, but get it to the rim. Like, some niggas would be like, man, I ain't doing that mess on my percentage. I could have been that guy. I'm smart enough. I could have told myself, yeah,
Starting point is 01:14:54 just make sure your percentage high and then you can ask for more money, whatever. But, no, bro. What I'm playing your road? Yeah, what if I shoot that 70, five foot in and go in and we win the game by three bro i'm shooting that shit like okay y'all gonna laugh cool y'all not champion that shit means a lot at the end of the day it is they're not fucking champion that is that's gonna close the envelope yeah your entire identity has been fabricated

Listen to Vine on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I mean, y'all gonna laugh, but y'all ain't champion. Real tall, like, it sucks sometimes, though, because my eyes will talk their shit and you'd be wanting to tell, and it's like, If the coach let me shoot 25 of these a game, I'm telling you, and I'm a different ball game, too. You know what I'm saying? I know you used to that superstar, but if I was a superstar, hey, I'll run my kingdom a little bit different. You see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:18:07 They got all these kings. Like, that's what I look at this shit, NBA is the game thrones to me, for real. Like when Bleacher report was doing that episode shit, that shit was so cold, because that's how it really feels to me. Like, motherfuck all just trying to get to that iron throwing or whatever, but having, like, all these different guys that's supposed to be superstars of each team. and seeing how they run their kingdom. How you run your ball club?
Starting point is 01:18:29 But you're over there for a reason. For sure. No, you're gonna need a nigga like me. For real. You're gonna need a guy, let me say a guy like me so y'all can use the clip. You're gonna need a guy like me. You're gonna use it anyway.
Starting point is 01:18:38 No, I'm saying, but you know, if they put it on Shairo and they're gonna bleep out the nigg. I don't want you to have bleep out, so I want you to have an official, official movie. You're gonna need a guy like me, though. So why not, so why not go to another team and just take over? Just like, you know what? Train me to a team that really need, you know what I'm saying? Some fundamental just.
Starting point is 01:18:55 They need him. They would have had, I would have had to do that when I was 22. Hmm. It was like, I'm 30 now and I've, I've yet to have a team where I get to shoot 30 times. God. Devil? Huh? In the league?
Starting point is 01:19:12 In the league. Oh, no, no, no, no. You can go to college. It's my 30th game, man. I'm talking about, I'm talking about whether I'm shooting it good or I'm shooting it bad. You still getting 30 shots. I'm shooting 25, 30 shots. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Like, fuck a- giving you an opportunity to get you. opportunity for a free throw I'm shooting 25 of these bro what do you mean it's going up at least 25 times so even when you had the ball sometimes you was just like ah it's on him but that's what I'm saying a part of me a part of me was doing that a part of me was like I'm not in rhythm you know what I'm saying sometimes I'll make the extra pass because in my head J.R. just shot four times He made two of them. If he hit this, the rim's huge.
Starting point is 01:19:59 You know what I'm saying? I'm already knowing me and you only gonna get, we're gonna share like 10 shots in this shit because we got Brian and Kai and Kev. So, okay. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, if we only fin to get five of these, which means I'm probably gonna get this one shot
Starting point is 01:20:15 and I ain't shot the ball all game, J.R., you didn't shot four of these. You know what I'm saying? Knock this fifth one down. and the crowd goes crazy me if i hit one anyway okay cool okay mom hit one but you already got the energies that's part of the game some niggas be wondering yeah you shoot that shump i ain't shot the ball again boom he dumb look he think he think he got influence boy don't you know you a lane you're a lane okay how much you score we're gonna win about 20 you're lame you're lame
Starting point is 01:20:48 you're lame you understand like that's cool that's the shit you'd be saying to get content to There's a niggas. They're at the free throw line. There's nigs that scored 30 and think they're cool after the game. Bro, either you're cool or you not. You're cool or you not. If you score 30, you can score 30 or walk into the... I don't watch a million women walk past 30 points.
Starting point is 01:21:05 You gonna give me some money? No. Who is he? No, women see it too. Like, no, I like how he can get down. He ain't going for that shit. Like, I like how he get down. Like, at least the women I'm looking at.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Exactly. That's crazy. Everybody who know. Anything. You know that the 12 men on the team is the nigger with the hose. He ain't touched the floor since Oklahoma. That's how to go. But he didn't have had bitches in 23 cities.
Starting point is 01:21:35 The cold ones. And then you're 12 of. You the nigga hit 30 over and over again. They keep walking past you the buddy that don't get in the game. All you get to talk to is sports center and go to the room. People want to feel, bro. They want to feel. I know a million, a million comedians, Joe.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Every time I walk past this thing, I'm going to have to laugh. You know what I'm saying? Every time, I'm going to give, before you even do some shit. Like, that's how Kevin Hart is to me. Like, hey, before you even say something, Joe, I walk up on you, I don't know what you're going to say, so I'm already in a giggly. Like, real talk.
Starting point is 01:22:06 If this thing has got a microphone, if he got a microphone, I'm already like, look on here, Nick, don't he look over here, look over here, Joe. I don't even want you to put me in a joke, Joe. I ain't going to be able to breathe myself. No, no, leave me alone, bro. This is the funniest natural nigger you will ever see. He ain't got to even say shit to make me late.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I can see this nigga, and he don't even know I see him. It's just the way that nigga gonna have his shirt tucked in with this big-ass belt buckle. This nigga might have $500 in stripper one. Go to the club, throw two of them bitches, leave it, $499. Thought that game, we're straight. Like, this is the funniest nigga, bro. You don't get a no fuck.
Starting point is 01:22:52 I've seen this nigga not pay a motherfucker and win all the money at the dice game. Won't even get a nigga at $40 back. May the nigga wait for the guy. That's the type of nigga he is, though, man. It's just one of the niggins that just make me laugh doing ghetto shit. Regular shit.

Starting point is 01:23:56 That's the best shit in the world, Joe. But you know what? You're the first NBA player I ever. I want to say you were part of my first NBA friend. Yeah. And then not only that, he was like, bro, I fuck with your music. And not only that, you were like, fuck that. Off of the drop meat tape.
Starting point is 01:24:15 And I'm like, nigger, I got to be on that. I ain't ever. This is like shacking the food. Dude, I ain't never been on an NBA nigga mid-telling. I was like, what if we're gonna rock? What's the one y'all did? Shit, how long ago that been? That been about five years.
Starting point is 01:24:29 What do we call it? I forgot, but we, we, the nigga, I knew it was crazy because we were going around the NBA circuit. A lot of NBA pay, we're like, hey, boy. That's shit, that damn track you deal. Ema and Nick! I'm like, oh y'all, y'all.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Everybody was called on, man. But I was like, gee, when the nigger played this shit and then you put it on World Star, I'm like, bro, we go act like this just went everybody like that ain't it ain't nobody tapped in it was just weird to me I'm like it's weird I think it's just people saying this person do that and since I couldn't even do that right I ain't fin to check into the other shit that motherfucker doing you know what I'm saying like but it was like I was saying if you fuck with that man and he do music he probably going to tell you
Starting point is 01:25:11 a little something about himself now if I go click on your page and you just wasn't talking about shit right I've been like all right he rap and I feel like My mistake early on was I was trying to make hits, so I did that. Right. But I made music that it was like, I'm trying to be something for the fan instead of just being you. Yeah, I'm like, gee, real talk, I never wanted to do this, but my first video that I tried to put together, they was like, no. Right. Like, so, no, you can't come like that.
Starting point is 01:25:38 No, no, no. Got me true. Yeah, but I was just like, bro, this is the world. This is how I got here. Like, without this world that I rap about. I'll rap about. I wouldn't be right here. I'm not here, bro. I'm like, you wouldn't even like how I play basketball. I probably would play it soft as fuck. I probably would want to run around and shoot three. I would never want y'all to remember me as a three-point shooter
Starting point is 01:26:01 specialist. I would never want y'all to remember me like that, bro. No, I don't want to beat him. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I don't even, at, like, at 30, it makes so much sense. And at 22, it was such a, you know what I'm trying to please so many different people, many different brands that I'm just like oh they man it was crazy but it's like gee was it worth it because like y'all still didn't give me the 80 million dollar sprite deal or something that I was you told me like man you so personable man you can't have no shit cursing you can't be cursing on your reps you can't be doing you can't that was the reason me I curse now and I do how I move how I move and my daughter

Starting point is 01:27:18 your kid's curse is hearing them curse and used the shit right yeah and saying it just like they say that they use the curse words in the right content it'd be impressive you're like man let me get my goddamn ass up and clean this fucking room up for they come in here bitching at me and shit like whoa when you start talking like that but that's exactly what's gonna happen you clean this motherfucking room matter fact come out fuck wrong it's it I'm telling you man I'm telling you man I'm walking past my son's room. He's playing the goddamn fortnight.

Starting point is 01:28:19 Wake your dad up, bitch. You're going to jump you, huh. Too much of a good father. Ain't anybody fucking with you, isn't it? Fuck you mean. But you know what to pick back up on your shit, right? I know why people, like how you said it, like motherfucker went over their head
Starting point is 01:28:37 because the average person is below average. The average person is definitely below average, but they one-track mind. So they wake up and robotically here. And you know, people listen to music systematically robot. You know what I'm saying? They like robot. They feel like you do basketball, that's it.
Starting point is 01:28:56 You can't do nothing else. I don't put you in the box. Boom. Even if you want to do something else, they're like, what are you doing? You're supposed to be playing basketball. My guy, my brain works at an all-time high, my nigga. I'm out of one-track mind, and I'm here, there, there. I can be there.
Starting point is 01:29:13 You just matter if you can't be here, there, there. But guess what? The people who can be here, there, there, and there understand what the fuck I'm doing. Real talk. So I understand. So we get so trapped in trying to plead the one trap. Fuck them, niggies.
Starting point is 01:29:30 I'm so done. I'm doing it to your entertainer shit. Well, I'm shun. Oh, out of 24 hours did sell million views. And 20 cell million streams. Because now we got 20, 7 million people who does here, there, and there. So I just want you to stay down and stay consistent, because I've seen it from back then.
Starting point is 01:29:51 When you told me you did music, I wanted to check it out. I said, man, this nigga just don't rap. He's rap. I'm hearing the cadence and flow. I got to get to this. I got, I got, I got to tap it because ain't no telling what type of energy we can create. You feel what I'm saying? So just for you to be on that platform and I was still on the uprising and I'm like,
Starting point is 01:30:12 damn, I got an NBA superstar listening to my shit, nigger. nigger real like tap in what i'm saying real energy's like when you say something that just it's like jahs like i would say that you know i'm saying i could hear i could hear a verse three niggas got a verse on a song and it's like okay this man verse the best i know the club gonna love what he said there's some bird shit but this nigger verse like j i picked this man up on the day to day like hey bro you got choice i got mine we all what you mean what you mean like hey g come oh yeah i got a half on it come on let's go man you got some you got snaps on the petro okay we're good we good but i i make sure i pick this man up because he'd get down like me right

I can lead a room. He ain't going to say nothing goofy that ain't player. He ain't going to say that. He's going to make us look good. Cool.
Starting point is 01:31:21 That's my guy. You know what I'm saying? Like, you always going to have that. We need those. You're going to have that verse that you say that once I feel like that, now I could be a fan of your music. You know what I'm saying? I could check for your music.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Like, I'll never forget. Dirt came out with this same what you want. And the first thing I said was, I feel like out of all the 300 guys, I'm like, I feel like, I feel like he got the biggest trampoline to go off because he already understand how to make a song that structure for the radio
Starting point is 01:31:50 and still get his shit off. Right, right, right. But he'll damn near sing it with that auto tune to where it don't sound like he rapping your ear off, even though he used to rap, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's how we, you know what I'm saying? He heard him first, but we was like, it was cool to see he also has this side
Starting point is 01:32:09 and then he tapped into this a whole new wave of it. So when I listen to Dirk now, when Granny Crib dropped, I was like, gee, I'm gonna forever be a fan. You know what I'm saying? Just that, I had roaches at my granny crib. Yeah, ooh. Jumped into the streets on accident. Yeah, yeah.

Everybody did that in the summer. But all your cousins, everybody was there. You got your friends, they friends, you know what I'm saying? Now y'all come.

Starting point is 01:33:11 And he's like, damn, this thing on the block. Like, man, gee, let's walk the other way. But then you know my brother. Now you look at me like, oh, that's like my little homie. Ain't nobody messing with my little homie. So now it's like if you want to ride to the store, yeah, you might be riding illegal as hell. But to you, it's just normal.

If the NBA ever let it be standing room only again how I used to be G. And I get to do a dunk and a crowd of people is right there. I'm going to be a totally

And we're going to split it down the middle. He's definitely giving me a piece of it. Go on, stupid. No, I'm telling you. Like, but I used to love that.

It's shit like, even shit like that, bro. like I hate I hate I hate acting like I don't know who had to do that right I hate acting like I don't know the thing is that like you know how I feel to bring your homies to a college campus and then they sit you down and be like what you doing like you don't know what you getting into around here I'm like these my people which y'all come
Starting point is 01:39:31 out like oh I know but they looking at me like I'm I'm like gee this is like these my family yeah like bro this is who I call this who to the game sitting in the crowd like you know what I'm saying I what I'm gonna do like hey man y'all don't smoke weed because I don't want them to it's so what they smoke weed before they got here so what like they had to watch the game man so what they supposed to drink a big beer if they drink a beer and they hit in red in the face everybody cool with it but if they smoke and they're chilling you mad but if they smoke a square they could smoke a square outside it's just like in my mind
Starting point is 01:40:05 I couldn't figure it out I'm like gee I came up here late at night I was in the gym And the same thing is that they say is bad influence on me. They got me in the gym. They rebounded from me. A bunch of street niggins rebounded, kicking it out. You know what I'm saying? I ain't had these certain plays down, but I wanted to know the play. So I got these niggas running the offense with me to where they now understand.
Starting point is 01:40:26 They understand the basketball. You got street niggas in the gym. Hold out, nigga. Wait, now come through here. You got to come. I would love a smith. I was playing for Georgia Tech, so. Off the screen.
Starting point is 01:40:36 I can't tell what I'm supposed to do, tell. You got to come around. Now off the screen. I watch, you got to come over there. And you get that too. Come here, come here, come here. They all coaches. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:40:46 You didn't even came to the game yet. You got to come off the screen. Hey, bro. Oh, wow, they're doing that. They're like, and tuck your elbow in. When you come off the screen, you come through his shoulder, bro. You come straight through him. They go right on the round.
Starting point is 01:41:03 Don't cut it. But it helped me. They give you that motivation. They got to come to the game out of that. That gives me. me a confidence of saying no I've seen like I know where you're supposed to be yeah if if he could remember it you should be able to remember right that make me think but I can't I can't I can't I can't come in like who else who
Starting point is 01:41:23 else can I get on my team my teammates at Georgia Tech who I'm a hit at after I went out to the club they say come to the gym come to the gym with me you gonna go hell now could you probably be slizzes of the hell right guys about real talk My coach of them called me, it was girls and heels on the sideline. My homies there, and they was real life, like, my big homie, rest in peace to him. My name, my Billy Taylor was like, who are you going to be? You know what I, yeah, we was talking shit at the club.

I remember when Wayne had me on the tour bus, like you just gave North Carolina 30. I'm telling you, Shum, I really could not get down. I really could.
Starting point is 01:42:17 I love how you did. I told him I put that on the game. Harrison Barnes and was on the bus. I told them, but y'all ain't do that with Shump. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, they want to come to the gym. They're like, Shump, can you open the gym? It's two in the morning.
Starting point is 01:42:30 I don't care. I can't hit a hoop, bro. Right. I'm going to the gym. But I also can't tell my teammate who's struggling to write a paper like he you know what I'm saying he got a study right now I can't be like hey man come to the gym we're gonna be in the gym like now
Starting point is 01:42:43 I'm being detrimental to you the niggins mother came if you told him little way but that's what I'm saying I like papers and shit like I don't like tests I don't like you test me to tell me that this is what the answer has to be because nine times out of 10 I'm probably not going to agree with it unless it's like math or some
Starting point is 01:42:59 shit like when it be open ended I just be like that's wrong but I know it's see but that's wrong but I'll mark it for you on your little dumb ass scam I read it, but it's some bullshit. I don't agree with this philosopher at all, but cool. Like if that's what my mama going to hang on the fridge, let's get it over with, type shit.

I'm doing the papers, I'm doing the work and shit.
Starting point is 01:43:42 And if I really went hard and like, really went hard for the A, I could have got it. But I just was like, first thing come to my mind, you know what I'm saying, explain myself in the paper, hand it in, whatever the grade is, I know I could play. You know what I'm saying? Like I could hold on to this information. I'll memorize this for the week. We're going to knock out this test. I forgot all that shit.

I was just doing it all because my dad looked me dead in my eye. I was like, so you telling me somebody over there could stop me? And it was the challenge, like, nigga, I ain't say all that.

Starting point is 01:54:15 But during the game, he wasn't even, like, really coaching. He's like, it's okay, it's okay. Like, but he's knowing you dolo out of that. Right. Cali your opinion. Put it in the hoop. Like, I don't want to hear it. Like, we already drove two hours.
Starting point is 01:54:26 Like, you're going to do this to these people. And it was just, I don't know, like, but when it, like, that's real to me. Like, that was like, that's how I got here. So I'm like, when I'm thinking about parents, I'm like, dude, why would you tell your kid, like, to have a backup? Gas, whatever they plan in. That's why so many kids get to college. Like, what you want to do? And I don't know what I want to do.
Starting point is 01:54:45 That's because somebody told them to go to school till they figured it out. And, no, this nigga might really like video games. Let that nigga play video games. There's a bitch of check over there. He could learn how to really build a video game, fool. before and back, cool, learn about video games. He like cameras, he always picking up your camera.

She's making moves, but she's going on YouTube asking Siri, hey, Siri, pull up some gymnastic girls. What outfits do they wear? Mommy, I need a little ear time. Then our mama like, I'm gonna get you a sparkly one.
Starting point is 01:55:38 Then you know what I'm saying? I'm like, just gas them, gas these kids, let them do whatever because that's all I was like, then you all just had niggas that you, I know if, well, I don't know if y'all was hooping, but I was hooping. That's right. So niggas was hit me with this. Hey man, after they would see me play, hey man,
Starting point is 01:55:54 stay in school, try and stay out the streets. I know, but just stay out. out the streets, but don't never put that ball now. You're like, you don't want to do this. I'm doing it. I wanted to do that. Do that. You do that.

Starting point is 01:56:31 Niggins was like, yeah, you don't want to do this, but you ain't going to do that either, you got to figure something else out. I played ball when I got locked up, and they were like, yeah, take his head to jail. That's just how sorry I was. I was like, I play ball. They were like, we don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 01:56:46 This nigga said, play for your shoes. I ain't never had no shoes that a nigga wanted to play me for. Y'all got you keep him. No, it's just a disrespect, eh? Yeah, but see, a nigga ain't even take the time. I remember playing a dude. I played the dude for his Vince Carter's,
Starting point is 01:56:58 and I never could wear them because they was too small for me. My homie got them. You just walk around and put them on your feet. I put them on my neck. Oh, this nigga that made a chain out of niggas shoes. Hey, but you said niggas in the street used to always tell you to stay in school
Starting point is 01:57:12 like you was going to have a good game on Friday night. Like, man, fuck school. But they be doing that. They be like, hey, man, you stay in school. Because they know if you stay in school, they really just telling you at least eight to three we know you ain't in trouble. We're going to tell you that.

Starting point is 01:58:23 How much do you make? The crazy part about it. the nigga get to the league don't even be that fast sometimes but even if you think they don't get paid do you think they should get penalized for letting a nigga buy him some chicken wings and shit like that you know what I mean I can get paid but the nigga bought me some hurls and now I can't play no more yeah I think some of that shit is stupid but they don't tell you the truth they're the NCAA is not like that they're chasing niggas and shit for that shit it'd be sometimes be you need to do some dumb shit you know what I'm saying either you do some dumb shit
Starting point is 01:58:55 you constantly in trouble and they just It's like, we can't do it no more. We got to slap you on the wrist at some point. You know what I'm saying? Like, but they're not really looking to disqualify guys and shit. It's just they got to put that rule in there because there's so many people that'll give you 100 bands, 200 bands, street money and nice clean money on the flip
Starting point is 01:59:12 because you got to pay them back because remember when I gave you that, they really protect them players, you know what I'm saying? Not even just street money. You may have a large corporation, you know what I'm saying? Pringles may say, hey, man. I feel bad putting that on Pringles. I like Pringling. I don't put in no money, bro.
Starting point is 01:59:31 They ain't not going to pay me. They might. That's cool. They ain't know you like Pring. If you don't fuck with me for this real niggie example, at least I said Pringle. At least you got some. All good press, bad, I mean, all bad, any press is good press.
Starting point is 01:59:43 Yeah, that shit. Whatever the car dad, whatever them white girls see. What did this start in? No, for sure. You mean to tell me a muntled stuff? Listen, no. You mean to tell me you, you mean to tell me your mind sharp and nobody fucking reached out.
Starting point is 01:59:55 How many cringles? Maybe it gets to. Maybe it gets to that. So all the niggas with money talking. What did this happen? I feel bad though. The Kardashians gave me that all good presses, all presses, or whatever.
Starting point is 02:00:05 Whether it's good or bad, like, whatever. But if I, I don't, forgot the example. No, you were talking about if Priggas wanted to get you a check. No, you were talking about, you were talking about. Oh, Kier getting paid, yo. Bensady's crazy hell. If Pringle wanted to, if Pringle wanted to, let's get him some Pringles.
Starting point is 02:00:22 All right, all right, go ahead, bro. If Pringle wanted to give a kid, money now knowing this is an investment later. They don't want a kid getting into the league and now your first check is getting divvied up. The league is all about that balance because they've had so many guys come in the league and you're taking care of all your homies
Starting point is 02:00:41 and my they did this and that for you. But if they put just that fear in you of, you can get disqualified, now you even have a way out to tell the homies that's trying to do it. You may feel pressured in, I don't want to take money from you you starting to see like this man trying to like have me under his wing where you know what I owe him a check you just be like man you know what I can't get disqualified bro like you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 02:01:05 they gave you a wall so it's like if you can't deal with that wall man you got a issue you've been broke your whole life you're gonna be sure yeah I mean I still think they should get some type of stipend though because maybe they should get maybe they should get something later on whatever they make so much money off them college aft maybe it's some shit maybe they should do some where to take your colleague, the money you help win the college and, you know what I'm saying, the boosters, however that does. Maybe they all get a percentage of that, it divvies up, and then five years removed y'all get the money or some shit like that.
Starting point is 02:01:36 But it just can't be, you see it in your account while you're a college kid. It's just turn you into a different animal. Right. Like, it was different for me to have dropped 30 and then still broke. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's something about that grind that if I, I got cheesy. If I got 30 and I got bread, what I'm doing tonight?
Starting point is 02:01:58 Some dumb shit. And then it's crazy part is you got 30 and you do got bread, just a loaf of bread. That's all you got at the room is a loaf of bread. That's it. You're going back to the room making straight bread sandwiches all 30 points. Peanut butter, no peanut butter, no jelly. No bread. Niggas was cutting bread down the middle.
Starting point is 02:02:15 Nicky mouth stuck together. Right. From earlier to date. No, but I was, I told you, I'm an entrepreneur. I told you, I'm an entrepreneur kid, man. I was top ramen, you know, with the little Doritos on it and shit, flame of my hot, so you were stacking. Throwing the meat on that part.

Starting point is 02:02:41 I know that kid. But see, that may be, that made me feel like I know this. My cousin, my cousin would have boiled, he wants a boiled hot dog. That's what he wants. A boiled hot dog? That's what he wants. That's, Lizzie right there. That's what he wants, gee, like, growing up, that's what he's on.
Starting point is 02:02:55 Like, might be like, hey, man, pause. He'd be like, do whatever you got to do, bro. Give me a hot dog, boy, that motherfucker. Give me a Polish, man. Give me, y'all get it. I get it, I get it. Give me a Polish, I get it. They be doing that.

This nigga, yeah. Y'all official as fuck, y'all, I'm steady. We need the championship ring.
Starting point is 02:04:28 Hey, we need the championship ring. We just look like that. I'll bring the head one day. I'll break the head one else. Yes, sir. I had question for you, though, like, what's that moment in the league where you just knew, like, nigger, I'm that nigger. What was that moment?
Starting point is 02:04:39 Like, is there got to be some moment when you play that let you know, even what you have in the perspective you have and not giving the fucking being a team player. What was that moment when you just like, nigga, I'm in the league, I'm up. We played, um. We played, um. Well, first, it was my first bucket made me feel like that because...
Starting point is 02:04:57 First one to ever? Yeah, my first bucket I did like this little in and out and then a pro hop. Somebody found me and my first bucket was an and one. And I just, something about it, like, you know, we always say three a hard way and shit. And it was just like I felt like it was so... That was my life. Like, broken play happens. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:05:18 Some bullshit always happened. And I end up getting control somehow, and then I have to make something out of nothing, and it turned into something better than we wanted in the first place. And I'm like, that's like my whole life, bro. And it was like, that was the first time I scored. And it was like, I had a moment where I, like,
Starting point is 02:05:35 punched the little posts under the rim. I punched it, and I'm just like, damn, that shit just blew my mind. It felt like, deja-bole type shit. Yeah, I was like, damn, I'm here, shunty. And I'm on the free throw line after that. like, oh, you turn that, you're into a layup, you turn. But they didn't understand what it was for me
Starting point is 02:05:53 to where I just started talking my shit. And then after that, I had hurt my knee in that game. Sprang something, and they told me you're going to be out for three weeks. They're like, that's, yeah, you're going to have to sit down. And I came back in like a week. I put the brace on and I was like, fuck that. I'm already in shape. It's old.
Starting point is 02:06:10 Fuck that. I'm 21 years old. Fuck that. Let's go. And I played and I got a couple steals and I got dunks. And I got the chint because they booed me. when I got drafted so I got the chance to like yell at the crowd so I was like I wasn't holding back I was saying what I wanted to say man fuck y'all y'all
Starting point is 02:06:26 y'all wanted him fuck him like maz was thinking you thinking that I'm like talking shit about them but I'm like talking shit to the crowd like bro y'all they need want me why y'all why y'all clapping gee what you clapping for you mean man you fuck with you like yeah I ain't I'm on the frito line saying anything and they say what you say what you say what you say what All right, I fuck around a Mr. Frito, too, trying to talk too much shit. Like, what? Man, you ain't never, but I've been waiting.
Starting point is 02:06:54 I've been waiting, bro. I've been, I watch your footage more than you. Fuck. Fuck. Ah, shit, that's cool. We still going to win. That's a nigga. That's like, dude.
Starting point is 02:07:06 My eyes be mad. They're like, Shump, what you're talking about right now, man? You, you three for eight. So? Think about a little guy 40. You mad. You mad. You man, they didn't pick you up.
Starting point is 02:07:16 They picked me up at 17. They didn't pick you out. Blah, lame assed you are lame. But that's how I was playing because I was like at that point, I'm like, y'all don't even want me. So what I ain't trying to impress y'all right now. Then I fell in love with the city. But it was like, I think it was the game we played. I can't say who it was.
Starting point is 02:07:34 I really don't want to start no beast today. After I finished my last contract, then I start really revealing. Right. Like who niggas was, yeah, I don't want to do that. But at the time, there was a better draft pick. played him he was not a better draft dude you know what I'm saying and I had that moment to just confirm the niggas like I'm him right you're saying like we was on the road too when I'm looking at the crowd like you picked him huh like y'all picked him Joe no he ain't that he I'm him I'm him
Starting point is 02:08:11 I'm him bro like I don't even I don't know if I'm classified I don't know what I am honestly like you him him I don't know the category. You're a champion. You're a champion him. That's how I felt. He's a champion him. You're telling me we had gutter, gutter in the ass.
Starting point is 02:08:29 Some guy named fucking Matt Germain. All I know, man, is I feel like way more people in the world can relate to somebody like me that you don't know how to turn it off or you ain't, I'm just the one that got in. Like, I got, I played the right people at the right time. It lined up. I caught a growth spurt. Like, it all lined up. But I kicked it, like, 80% of black people that do. Right.
Starting point is 02:08:58 What y'all do? Go who? All day. Then go play football with your homies. If they play football, like, you know, I was playing baseball. I don't play baseball, but I could knock one out the park for the show because my homie play. Yeah, I can't, I don't play football, but if you throw it up there, it's not a lot of niggas that's going to help jump me for that ball.
Starting point is 02:09:15 Right. You know what I'm saying? You got one of the craziest dunks ever, nigg. That's what I'm playing. Not many niggas, like, like, this shit, Odell Beckerman and shit, you know, like, I'm trying to do all that. Like when we was playing, I was trying to catch paths like that. Odell hands just like, shake your hand and shit, touch your, that damn bow on. You're like, oh, how you doing?
Starting point is 02:09:37 How you doing? That shit, irregular. That's what I'm in. That's how I don't mean. That's how I don't mean. That's how he called that shit. It was ridiculous. But I always played whatever.
Starting point is 02:09:47 always play whatever the homies, whatever we doing, we're doing that, y'all like rapping, we're rapping. We got a rap group, let's rap, fuck. And then he was like, yo, you rap, rap, rap, yeah, I think I've been rapping song with the kid. Right. You know what I'm saying? But anything we was trying to do, we was gonna do it,
Starting point is 02:09:59 because it's like, gee, if we shoot enough of these missiles into the hell, we gonna hit something. Some, fuck, if I shoot 30 of these bitches into a house, you telling me ain't nobody gonna get hit? Somebody. You see what I'm saying? And that's how we felt. Like, how do we kick the door down and get past this?
Starting point is 02:10:15 Like, why I don't wanna see my roof. I wanna see my roof leaking no more. I wanna see that shit. How the fuck I'm gonna do it? Boom, I don't know, they said I can't. Ain't nobody made it from Oak Park. Ain't nobody made it to the league. Cool, I'm still shooting that missile.
Starting point is 02:10:26 Oh, ain't nobody rapping. They ain't gonna, fuck it, we're shooting that. Right. Ain't nobody got no clothes in line. We're shooting that. Fuck it. Like, I don't care, gee, however many. You put enough real estate in the sky.
Starting point is 02:10:36 Somebody gonna have to rent something. You dig what I'm saying. You gonna have to rent something, my nigga. You're gonna have to shop with me at the while. I burn CDs. You see what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying? I go do spoken word with you, I'll rap with you, I'll hoot.
Starting point is 02:10:51 I can make clothes with you what you want. Baby, your car stop, you pop the hood. Shorty, I know how to do this. Look, you ain't even know this stick right here. If you go to this line, baby right here, you're straight. If it's under that line, baby, this is bone dry. You're killing your car. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:11:07 You need to drink water, this need to drink oil. You see what I'm saying, let's go in the store. I'm gonna walk you through this. You know what I'm saying? A lot of niggas don't know how to do that, bro. Bro. They can't change their tire. They can't change a tire.
Starting point is 02:11:17 Real-life NBA 2K created, nigga. This nigga gotta do everything. You can't change the tire, bro. We've been a AAA. You don't even know you got a tire under your car and come standard, nigger. This is a SUV. You're fucking serious. That's the whole point you got this, motherfucker, bro.
Starting point is 02:11:32 It's right here up under your car. Fuck you mean. Your shirt that clean, bro. You can't get out the car. You know what I'm saying? Like, my eyes are really sitting in the car in the NBA. My man, I've been off the call triple air. I had nobody seeing me.
Starting point is 02:11:42 Seeing me change a tire? That's the most regular. It's in the world. I'm not gonna pay this man $500 to be a better man to be, bro. Damn. My father would never respect me, my nigga. If the car got a spelt tire, G, I'm changing the tie. If I got a jack, if somebody got a jack, we, whatever, bro.
Starting point is 02:12:01 If we gotta go to the store, I'm not embarrassed that hall to change no tire, bro. Everybody catch a flat tire, my name. Regular niggins. Real tall, like, I'm gonna pay this man $500 to $1,000. What you gonna? What are you getting the tires change that? That's a lot. But the crazy.
Starting point is 02:12:18 No, but I'm saying, I'm saying if you got a call for somebody to come up there, what if I got to tow the car to somewhere? They're going to have to tow it. You're going to have to pay for the gas to get to whatever place they need the tires from. And you got it to do it, but I refuse. But it's like, bro, do all of that when I have a spare tire that came with this, however much the car was. Like, all athletes I'd say is going to drive in a hundred thousand range car at least.
Starting point is 02:12:44 If you spent a hundred bands, you don't think that bitch come with a spell. That shit came with me. I don't know that motherfucker. You call the flat all, yeah. Real talk, you need foursmen. I'm gonna call me for that bitch get flat. Mr. Miller, we feel like you're gonna experience

When we had to fix the flat, like my mom, I remember my pops walking me through it in college over and over. Like, man, you know, you just got to get the nugs off. Come on, man.
Starting point is 02:13:59 Come on. Come on, man. Changing time really is the easy shit. To be honest, I like changing time. It make you feel like a man. I swear, I'd pull over for a motherfucker. I see it. They'd be like this.

Niggins, them light bulbs ain't cost that goddamn much. Right. But you paid for that being time. You paid for him to actually have the tool that fit the screw on your light to take the whole fixture down and make the black fix.
Starting point is 02:15:02 He ended up paying the what, 25 home? It's just like, bro, I'm out here paying all this money and doing all this and it's like, it felt so good for the, for Corona to hit and be home and realize like, damn, I I'm thinking in my head like, damn, I ain't got a job now. I'm fin of having to have to figure. Yeah, I'm going to have to. All right, cool. Let's see how I'm going to do this.
Starting point is 02:15:20 Let's see how I'm, how I'm a deal with if the NBA don't never come back because this shit get crazy. Like, how does life work? Okay, because that's the realistic thought for me as a father. Like, okay, how do this shit work for him? Yeah, but I start realizing like, bro, I ain't got to pay a lot of y'all nothing. What you doing? Get the fuck out of my house.
Starting point is 02:15:40 Right. You dropped them goddamn life. I got it. Don't worry about it. Why don't you got that on my kitchen. I cook. D.C. Get out my bed. I'll sleep for myself. And the motherfuckers didn't work for him.

Starting point is 02:16:07 That what you said? You don't want me to do it? You don't want me to do it? I'll play with it. Even that, though. Hey, no, even that, no, my nigger, my nigger, I had a big ass, I bet a big ass Blue Bay Shepherd, right? You realize how much it costs to have somebody
Starting point is 02:16:23 that's going to walk them all the time? Nigel. Just because it's like, he a big-ass dog. I can't have Tiana grabbing this nigga. He can rip a arm off. It has to be a man's man. Right. But I had to pay, like, I had to pay a dog walker because I ain't at the crib.
Starting point is 02:16:38 When I ask for the dog, then I can't pay the bill. because I'm all the way over here doing whatever and Junie want to see her dog. You know what I'm saying? It's just like, and it's like this nigger can't keep flying everywhere with me. At some point he's going to be by himself and I'm going to have to pay somebody
Starting point is 02:16:55 or have like somebody that can, that ain't scared of him, walk him. You know what I'm saying? And it's just like I start seeing like, damn, I ain't got to pay a lot of people nothing, but that's like an applause for my father because it's just like, thank God you. For lack of a better turn,
Starting point is 02:17:10 I know his ladies in the room, Thank God I'm not a bitch. Hey, thank you for not making me a bitch-ass, nigga. He went with his hands. Bitches? It's some what? It's some what out here? Some female dogs.
Starting point is 02:17:23 No, it's a, I want the other word. It's so bitchy. That's shit hot. It's so bitchy. It's just, like, it's some dudes that just, it's like the concept of manhood is wrong. Right, they can't get their finger dirt. I'd be like, bro, you forgetting this is your whole demo. This is the only reason they like us, bro.
Starting point is 02:17:43 Like, if you can't do this, you're never going to have a female, bro. You think it's, you're going to all. Your route is the wrong way, bro. Your bitch like you cutting grass, nigga. You just don't need nudge. She wants to see you sweat. And do it before she say something because you want the grass cut. Nicky, you don't want the grass cut?
Starting point is 02:18:01 Or you don't own the house. Talk your shit! Ah, that's the difference. If you want it on the house, you just waiting for somebody to do it. When you own the house and you see that shit get up, and then homeowners sit you with, hey, man, that shit making the block look terrible. You better cut that shit.
Starting point is 02:18:15 You go, oh, I got to cut this shit. You know what I'm saying? And then you could pay another man to be a man for your girl or you could just. Ooh, you're talking to shit. You're kidding me. Niggins at the house sweating. And they bitch looking at like,
Starting point is 02:18:28 law for real. Yeah, a nigga heard that and be like, let me go and get their love moves straight. Let me go ahead. I'm telling you, it's just like the basic concepts of men. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like the Instagram shit ruined it for us.

Nigger drive-at-home shirtless, man. You know what I'm saying? That's your demo, though. That's how she gonna fall in love with you. Like, it's a lot of niggas with money. Ain't a lot of niggas gonna fix that car.
Starting point is 02:19:20 Fuck you mean. They ain't gonna fix that car. They're not gonna vote that law. They don't know how to fix that toilet when these motherfuck to drop that ring in there. It's a rap. They don't know how to fix that. Oh, the drain.
Starting point is 02:19:32 It's gonna go down the drain. Can you get that one fuck out of the drain? Can you get that one fuck out of the drain? You wanted nothing. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna fuck with the bike. know what I'm saying, though. Can you, it's really, you'll think it's nats,
Starting point is 02:19:43 you'll think it's some shit. I ain't saying it's nats, I just don't want to fuck up. I don't want to be a fuck up. You don't want to be a fuck up, but you're gonna allow this nigger who might be a fuck up to do it. No, I trust him because he's a man. All you got, it don't even be learning. I don't know how to cut grade.
Starting point is 02:19:56 He ain't go to school for, look, he ain't go to school for it, but literally, if you have a nigger come over one time and the whole time he there, you just watch. Like, let me see what this nigga do. This nigga will unlooen four screws on each side, take that pole out, go like this, the ring come out,
Starting point is 02:20:14 he put the faux shit, the full little bolts back, and you got to pay that man, 500. You did this shit, bro. Let me tell you what I did. Shorty, I'm looking like, I'm not paying that. When I saw a nigga do that for us in college, we had to call the technician dude, because we didn't want to do it, because we like,
Starting point is 02:20:31 you know what I'm saying, this is an institute. If we fuck up doing it and we fuck it up, we're gonna have to pay, we broke. We don't know what's going on, we're on scholarship. We're like, we're gonna call them to fix their shit. But I sat there at wipes and I'm like, that ain't shit. I didn't have to call him. I bet he'd think less of a man of me.
Starting point is 02:20:46 Like, he probably thinks like this little young punk. That's crazy. Like, you actually got some in this dorm before, you can't fix this. He probably looking at me like, this soft-ass little dick, right? Thanks, dude, because my grass definitely probably look at me like that, because that shit'd be high as a muscle, but I ain't never cut grass in my life. You ain't never had grass.

Starting point is 02:29:17 I just, I always thought that would be cool for you to feel like, you know what I'm saying? Everything is like how you felt at home, like, if I could just, because I ain't got to live in Chicago since I was 17, but I would love to go home. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes I'd just be missing home, and I'd be like, how could I bring that back?
Starting point is 02:29:31 I don't know how you have that bad. You ain't never just wanted to grab a little spot in Chicago yet. I'm just not ready. I got to be doing with hooping. Right. I don't know if I could hoop and live in Chicago, but it just... Hawks! I don't know, it just, it would be too much.
Starting point is 02:29:48 If I did, I would have to play for the Bulls. You can play for the Hulk. You can play for the Hawks. But if I'm saying if I would play for the Hawks and then I come home to Chicago every summer, like, I don't know. I don't know. We got spots all downtown. That puts you somewhere. You're too familiar with the city.

Starting point is 02:33:01 niggas, oh, she turned this down. Like, I ain't tripping. Like, I win a lot. You see what I'm saying? So it just be like, when I take the L, it'd be like, cool, joke on me. But at least y'all see, it's, this regular nigga shit, bro. Way more wins than lost.
Starting point is 02:33:15 You got to laugh through the loss. Shorty miss, she might have been, he might have took the L on this road. I know there's a couple of Jones that's probably like, damn that nigg was trying to talk to me. So I thought he was lying.

If you see her tomorrow, she might have seen me in my, you know what I'm saying, in my sweats after I worked out. And she wasn't fucking with me in the duress. That's the bad plan.
Starting point is 02:34:19 But then you might see me walk out the stove with, you know what I'm saying, wearing that shit. With that sauce on. Smelling like I'm supposed to smell. You see me the next day, and you see me the next day, and you see what I hop in, you're like, oh, oh, yeah. I got it all right, man, you can to catch that exhaust pipe. That's correct. It's a rap.

Like, I'm chasing, I'm chasing that feeling, bro. I'm chasing the feeling of standing on the stage, because that's what basketball is. Right. We're standing on the stage. Going crazy, trying to see if y'all fuck me. I just want to know if y'all fuck with me.
Starting point is 02:34:59 That's the only reason we care after fans is that why you think niggas is doing three-point celebrations to y'all fuck with me. That's all it is. And it's like with the music shit, can I say something that make all y'all niggas feel like, yep, I know that I, that's exactly how I felt. I walked in here the exact same way. Can I say something like that? Or can I not?

Starting point is 02:37:02 It's more me in the world than your favorite artists, bro. I guarantee it. There's more niggas that wanted to hoop, rap, make the clothes they win, had all these ideas, and at some point somebody told them that my ideas was a little too big, just focus on hoop. And they did that. They still want to do this. They just, right now this all.
Starting point is 02:37:23 they know. I just was that kid, just like y'all, like, I didn't know which one was going to hit. But I'm like, I'm doing them all of, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know what's going to hit. But when I told my mom I was going to get that house, I didn't say it had to be NBA money. Right. I didn't say that. I said, I'm going to get you this house. I said, I was going to go to the lead. I said, I was going to get the ring. But I said, I was going to get you this house. I didn't say I was going to get you this house with NBA money. Right. I did. But if I didn't, I still was going to get her that house. And that's the, that's the hustle. That's That's the drive that I want people to resonate with. Like when they listen to the Joy Ride,
