He just like that's a rock boy. That they got some of the hardest. He used to do parodies. That shit goes hard, bro. And then I used, and then I learned him from this. I'm like, what cares that? That they got a CD. The one I remember when, oh, probably, 2009 or 10, maybe.

I had a CD with this nigga that he gave me. It probably had 100 songs on that, man, everything. Like, every beat that was popping at the time, he jumped on that bitch. That he'd call it a bitch. I fought with Luda, but he called him a bitch on that motherfucker.

Sean Jay. He definitely did. At the end, he said, I ain't got the ring talking about old tip of Ludy trip. Nicarious. Luda, you will, I get on. D.C. I ain't know he fucked with the show so on.

Man, we fuck with Phil Ma'am, man. We got to get him on. No what I'm saying? Lutiful. Luttle. Luton. You got to get him on. Big Crits shit.

Oh, for real? Yeah. He said he's going to be a big crick, man. He was a rapper, man. And one thing about Luda, but he's tired of him. I've been fucking with Luton. I see him at the Paukin gang all the time. Yeah.

You fuck with the Fahler? Hell yeah. Hell yeah, the nigger, though. Him and two have the loud his voices, though. But we ain't doing shit with this sorry-a-coat. We just got. You said that who got the louder boy? Between him and Tip, like the way them niggas talk.

Them niggins voice loud than the motherfucking. Yeah, it's not like the nigga on the microphone. Luda boys deep as hell. I ain't know that. Real life. Tip just went straight to Atlanta on the nigga that the other day. He got that. That was TIP.

That wasn't Tia. Not me? Oh, Tip. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He said he got tired. What you mean? Tip's in it with that lip.

He, he, he, he, he more so like, He got the energy and the respect from the rock game. He did the comedy for him. That was him. That's just him. He's because he's entertaining. Like a motherfucker saying, you can't do it. And he's like, and he always been funny.

You always been in a funny scene. You feel what I'm saying? It's like a nigga I always wanted to try some shit. And then he did it. He was like, all right. But let me get back over here to show y'all, why I'm really the cane, niggas. This really what it is, though.

This is what I do. He is, though. Why the shit, that's going to work all day. Because for the last 20 plus years, he's, nigga, first, he'd been telling people to take him serious. Right. First album called him serious. Yeah.

So you've been, that's been your whole campaign. Like, nigga, this ain't nothing to play with. Right. Then you want to play. Right. Right. Now he's playing. Now he's playing.

Niggas, it's confusing. So, nigga, like, what do you mean? It's like joking with a killer. Right. Like, you don't know where the joke stop at. At any given moment, she can get sick. She can get serious. I'm sure.

Going straight back to the trap. I'm kidding. And then I know for him on the inside it feels good to get back to that. Yeah. That is my... You see this hat thing. But see, I asked him about that shit the other week and he told me that it's like, it ain't nothing to get back to because it ain't something that he ever stopped doing.

Right, right. You know what I'm saying? That is true. He never stopped making music or just, you know, they go to the studio every day still. Right. Right. Shit, I don't been to the studio. It's just something like cutting that hair off.

I'm gonna' tip in that hat. Man, I don't know. I'm not- Something about that. I'm telling you, bro. That man, he got hundreds of songs. You don't heard them. Yeah, I've been in the school,

y'all with a record, shit. I'm like, damn. This shit good. You got that tip with the hat lean, boy. You bullshit. I give me one off your hustler music playlist, bro. What would you play? If you was about to get up early and go make some money.

What's the soundtrack of the day? Shit. So old cold out black, probably. Which one? Scrilla. I fuck with that script. That and back on my feet. I like that one.

And I like that, can I live? I go listen to all the old code. I don't know, you're going to twist me again. What you said, can I ball? No, which one you said? Codec black. Back on my feet. I like that.

Play that one. I follow that one. It's on my jacket. What? Oh, what's on here? All right, bit. You took the shandy coat off? That's the light and shit.

Turned some. some of the lights down. Oh, can we put them on black people sitting? God damn. You want us to be light-skinned on the show? Put my off and grab my glass. They behind my, behind the computer. You were saying.

Kodak Black. Shout out to Kodak Black. He just wrecked this dump. No. He did? He did? We don't know if he did it, but the car got wrecked. Yeah, for sure.

Got out the Kodak, man. You get what I'm saying? Because they just, look at this blunt that you got. Why, nigger? Why would you roll a roach? I'm gonna let Kodak. I'm gonna let Kodat respond, because if I respond, this is what happened when you used to do drugs back in the day, kids.

Tell them don't get like you, aren't. Don't get like an. Hey, let me tell you something. I know I'm getting old, right? Ongo John. Because I went with one of my little young partner, right? And he talked about my other partner who's my age. And he's like, yeah, man, you know I was talking to unk.

I was like, he called him my partner, aunt. No. Hey, bro. This nigga thing I'm unk, man. Stop fighting. Yeah. I ain't no motherfucker. Oh, young niggas.

No, niggins. You come on. You got a couple more years outside, I know I'm six years away, baby. Let me rock out. Now, you know, you really all get 35, for real. Rare? 35, you're in there.

And then, look it up. Me, gentlemen, all us, nigga, we're all in there. We're all in there. It's all right over here, bro. So 35, man. Oh, no, guys. Hold up, it ain't nothing to be scared of, nigga.

This is the new face of up. Don't think you're going to go there with Johnny right now. Then we, it's us over there. So where I'm at right now? This ain't a YN. Really? All right, this is the perfect analogy. You in between what Marco Niam at?

Right. And where we're in the hallway. Marco, Mike. Marco 20! This nigga graduated in 2000. Hey, you're going to be with Uncle John. He's going to start coming to Uncle John. He graduated in 2014.

Yeah. I graduated in 10. He's still right there. Y'all niggas in the hall. Y'all about to come up in hell well. We're at. This technically his big brother. You know, the shit that's aging y'all is, y'all got more than one baby.

Marco graduated in 22, my name, girl. Like, the fuck. 22. Marco, who? This is one I, uh, when I, uh, when I- They got kids. They kinda automatically make y'all un-anyway. This is so much better by.

Why? Oh. Because there nobody, turn the shit down, bro. Marco, how old are you here, bro? He went up front. Oh. You're gonna throw up. Marco like night, 20, man.

He's like 21, ain't. He's graduating in 2020 during COVID. Shit wasn't even real then. He didn't even real then. He didn't even have no prom, no graduation. Those kids stupid. When was your first like, damn, I'm getting old moment? Don't know nothing about none of that.

My first, I'm getting old moment. Yeah, like, you're like, damn, like, this shit over with. Was it when the gray came in on your beard or? Uh-uh. Nah. Because, see, you ignore that for the first couple years, because, because at first it ain't, it's not an old-nigger accessory

until it's an old-nigger accessory. What about the gray-house? It sounds like I'm talking in circles, right? But this is the analogy. Like, if it's a woman who like gray beards, you ain't old as all. You're just a nigga with a gray beard to her. When you're talking to a young nigga

who don't want to hear what you got to say, then it's like, get your ass out of your old lad, nigga. No. You see what I'm saying? It's just as good as it is bad. But I also seen why the old niggas wanted to slap the young niggas back in the day.

When they always said, hey, don't fuck with him. He's a grown man. You know why they said that? Because he got a lot of shit to lose and he's not going to play with your young ass. And if you had a, this one they tell you, have you ever had. Just a little bit of jealousy rap, then now. Not really, because if you ever had a near-death experience,

that's what they say, you're fucking with a grown man. He would choke you. He would choke you. He's not even going to beat you up. He's going to choke you. He's going to be like, he's going to make you say sorry. He's like, say sorry. I'm sorry. And then you realize that you walk home,

I sit in there fuck with that grown man. You're right. But it ain't, man. I was a trip. It ain't jealous. It's the right word. See, I figure, at this age at 42, I figured out why old niggas

don't fuck with the young niggas like that for real. Why not? Because it's like, as an old nigger, you're doing everything you're supposed to do, right? But the only, your only real, Nemesis is being tired. You got that young nigga energy and that young nigga spirit.

You can literally, like you don't understand. That's like the height of you being a man. You could pick up a building and flip that bitch over. An old nigga could too. He just tired than a motherfucker and really don't want to. For sure, for show.

You just said something to him. So that's the envy for old niggies and young niggas because young niggas got the energy to do everything they want to do, but they choose not to do shit. And they're bad at him. And old niggas, like, nigga, you ain't gonna do nothing.

Give me that energy. You fucking up. Cutting it's long. Right. Cut this long. That's what you call energy having? One thing about old niggas that young niggas won't do.

Old niggas is a spare young nigger, but a young nigga won't spare old nudge. And I hate that shit, bro. What you mean by that? A old nigger ain't gonna never try to be the one that fuck your shit up. Right. Because you want to live.

And I'm not saying, you know where young man, you got it. He'll bow out. Young nigga ain't going to bow because he still got a young nigga pride and ego. And guess what he feel? If he do that to the old nigga, I just became old der by telling the old nigga what the fuck to do. And just like he was saying, an old nigga put hands on you. A young nigga kill you. A old nigga could kill you.

But he choose not to. Because the lesson is more valuable than the ass will. You get what I'm saying? choking. So the young nigga who just got choked out, he knew he was wrong, but around head ponnas, he'd think he'd go grab that chopper and come back and kill that old nigga. So on the way home, he knew he's like,

he's crying in there, thing. But when you get older, your values change, you understand what it'd be like to give grace. Even if you give it in vain, still want to get the next nigga some shit that you was never giving. You did what I'm saying? Did something.

I didn't. I ain't gonna lie, I had an old nigga tell me, but we were young at hell about triven. Then when I knew stopped playing with grown folk. I see that light. Stop playing with grown folk. We were doing stupid shit that young niggas, bro. Fought around got caught for it.

That nigga hawked us down. This grown man got a hit car and chased all us until he caught one. And get who he caught. Your head. My stupid ass. I got caught. This nigga had a night dead long. They grabbed my ass.

That why I'd be like that with young niggas. I'd be like, boy, I choke you, but. I know the experience I went through. So let me show you that could change your life. That nigga, grab my, my motherfucking collar, had my neck dangling. And he were talking to me. He was like, little niggum, you better stop motherfucking playing with me.

And I was just like, oh, I'm not. You feel me? I was just like, oh, the way he was at? I said, well, here, but I was like, I'm sorry. And he let my head go, but I knew then. I said, bro, what the way? What fuck was that? That was my time, me having

experience as a grown man in a little nigga body. And I wasn't ready for that shit. Dr. Pepper, baby. It's good and nice. That me fucked up. I don't think you're crazy. I love being an old nigga though. Because you learn so many different things about life

that you actually, once you start to plan them, then you know the shit. Like we were just talking about grace. Yeah. Mercy. knowing what's important. Like, your value system change. Because you know, as

life go on as a man, you're supposed to be building as you go. Like, your pride turned from being a prideful young nigga to being proud of being the responsible head of a family. You dig? What I'm saying? To be a man. Be a man.

Shit you thought with a puss-ass shit is grown-folk shit. Yeah. All the shit that niggas in prison and wish they could come out here to. You know what I'm saying? Simple shit that they took for granted. To have a nice crib with some food in that motherfucker with some good lights.

And every time you jump in the hot water is hot. You know, to get away from the hard parts of life. You look at the one and see the shit you want to be driving. It's different when you got some shit that you want. Everybody got a car, but they don't got the motherfucker they won't. Sometimes the shit they won't. The shit that they don't need. Right.

Not that you value this shit, but just to know. If anything go wrong over here, I got this little part. Right. This is my little piece. That's because that's all you really get. Right. It's your part. Whatever you're your name.

Yeah. Because once you go out in the world, you're in the world, bro. Yeah. But like you said, D.C. all the time, if you're a king, you're supposed to have palace, nigh, and you can't expect the world to treat you like a king, you got to treat yourself like one. Go home to your parents. Right.

Go home to your path. No, it's the way you did your life, brus. Like, you don't have to go to every event, but when you pop out, you pop out on your turn. You did what I'm saying Like nigga I'm over here Yeah I could have I could have went to the VIP But last time I was down there That shit was so boring

I wanted to be over here with the niggers You feel me And I got the liberty to do that Because a lot of y'all who in VIP Can't go over there where the niggas at Right You ain't on them nigger to take you That's because you thought you

Was better than them niggins And we're the type of motherfuckers Who ain't never forget what we came from We actually safer over there With the niggas Than around all you motherfuckers Who's acting like y'all really know her I can tell these nigger what's going on.

Y'all really playing a game in a facade. That's really most scary. I don't know what y'all want. I don't know what y'all want. They want me to kick it. Right. Y'all motherfuckers over. Hey, we are.

Everybody in the circle got money. Everybody's freaking out. But that's the thing, though. It's like, nigger. Whole circle. Freaking fuck. Once you break the circle now, it's motherfuckers in the circle who don't want you in the circle.

If you don't even know these motherfuckers and they hate your guts, but they got to fuck with you because you're in the circle. Why do people have? hate success so much and if everybody trying to achieve the same goal. Man, we competitive humans. It's human nature. I think it's a man thing. No, it's a competitive. It's a detachment from where we came from and what we had to build off of. Have you ever saw a woman hate on you? So all they're going to be a man?

Absolutely. Oh, for sure. Eve hated on Adam. You think so? You had a woman hater? Like, how many women just hate on men? They hate on other women? Oh, you got to run into the ones that really hate men. What about them? That one that want to fuck you? Oh, I'm sorry.

What about the one that wanted to fuck you? But you didn't give her no play. That'd want. That'd want. She hates you. That's got to be... Because that fuck with the psychology, though. What?

Because they already think men fuck anything. And for you to get turned down, that's got to crush your ego. Because women got big egos, too. We just don't recognize it because they're not our competition. But you see some niggas who do be in. I'm talking about on some envy shit. Like, you're gonna be in competition with a hole. That why I got a whole-a-a-nick.

Sometimes it ain't about that she want what you got. She just don't like that you got it without having to go through her. Some women got a complex like that where it's like everything that you do is because she let you do it or she allowed it. We don't know. You ain't never had a job? You ain't never had that bitch-a-boss? I mean, yeah.

And she come in and she, and you see how she treat everybody. Mm-hmm. Some days this bitch might be cool as a motherfucker. But when she come in and shit going right, that's what she's going to be a bitch. I learned that from when I had a job. That's what I'm saying. She said, who want to work overtime? Yeah, that shit was going to my pocket.

She said, who want to work overtime? Everybody who walked across the street, man, don't folk ready to go home. I stayed by her side like there here. I want to work overtime. She's like, I'm going to let you do overtime. But she saw how I were working overtime. She's like, nah. You're going to fuck around to be the supervisor.

I said, well, damn, bitch, I thought that, I thought we're supposed to get somewhere and elevate and level up. You just want me to be under you all the time. You can't work overtime no more. Why? I thought it was a choice, and I'm choosing the state. She's like, take your ass home. So you're pushing me to the street.

I want to be here wearing safe at. Let me get this free permanent money right here. I got to go, that's around crack heads and kill it. Right. I want to be here. She's like, no, niggas, because now you fucking up my environment. I definitely had a lady had on me before. I ain't gonna say her name that it was this lady who wanted me to host this show for.

And I told her I'd do it. It was in the city. Local shit. Right. I had got booked for this college for the bag. I'm talking about in the time where the bag wasn't like, the bag wasn't showing up like that. when they call. I got to go do it. So you know what I'm saying? I told them I ain't want to do it price and they hit.

Right. You did what I'm saying? So they hit back on the college show. So I'm like, I ain't going to take the Atlanta show over the bag. I can't do the show. Right. But don't you know this lady was mad at me for like 10 years about that shit? Mm. For real, for real. Hold in when I got on Wilden out, this same lady. said that I should have, this is what happened. When Nick came, I left a part out.

If I hear the part out, it's gonna fuck the story. When Nick came, some kind of way she had got in touch with him, and was like, you need to see that boy Carlos. So then when I got on the show, she texted me and was like, damn, you ain't gonna say thank you or send me no flowers or nothing. And for probably five years after that, bro, it was just weird. And I was just like, what? How did I know you sent the email?

It wasn't even that. It was just a... A text, it's hate. And not a text just a hey, in person, and passing type shit. For real, for real. I was like, damn. Some moral story women do hate. It's not the bads women, but...

No, not the men. That's just one specific thing. Yeah, some. Because we got some beautiful women that'll hold you down. Nah, for sure. Hold you down. I don't know. They'd be looking out in ways.

ways you ain't even know there was a lookout. For sure, for sure. You did? That's why you got to keep on going. After them shows and the meeting greets, man, the people be coming up. And I don't even be like, they think they're just telling us some shit. But, bro, them sheds be sticking with you.

Mm-hmm. Don't be real story, man. You fought, Bartlett. I was in the hospital looking at y'all. Those folks said I couldn't even laugh. They said, every time I'd hurt myself. But y'all kept me laughing. And I walked right up by that big.

But look at me, shot three, four times. What? Y'all kept, you help me down. And I'm just like, damn, the nigga really need this shit. Like, this is folks, therapy. You know how you got your therapy? What you coat with? This niggas can't wait to get home.

Like, man, cut that got the 85-sol of all, man. Not really shit. Kicking, them big-ed-boots off. Nick don't need to be getting, Nick, my head, watch. They just want to hear it. It's like music playing, and they walking around the house. Oh, look, what that nigga said?

They come back and me, like, why don't that laughing that? Man, I remember I was in the Army. My homie used to cut y'all on every time I was at his career. I swear right. We were at Fort Stewart in Hinesville, Georgia. It's near Savannah. It's right outside. Y'all, y'all heard of that?

I've been to Hinesville. I've been to Hinesville. Fat Cat had a spot down there. It was a juke joint type of shit. It's on the Chitlin Circuit. Legendary black club down there in Hinesville, Georgia. Shout out to Fat Cat. That's where I first saw Kod.

And that's the name of the club, Faggat. Yeah. I saw Kodat when he was just getting like 5K a show. For real. He just started. But you know, that wouldn't a grind be good, though. See, I always say the beginning of the grind, when it's taking off, whatever energy that is, you got to capitalize on that and make that last forever.

Now, that's facts. And understand that now once you got to figure this part out, how can I grow my business? Because once that shit, pop, once that shit be like, you ready? The bubble for the park. Ready? And then when that shit hit, a lot of people don't even know how to take that shit. They think, why I want to see pop, why I made it? And he'd be like, no, no, no, no, no.

I keep going. This is an experience. Now it's on you to make the experience a lifestyle. Yeah. Because I was just thinking about it, but I was like, man, can write any book. I always try to write quotes down with them every time I think about it. You got niggas who want to have an experience,

and then you got niggas who don't have an experience and trying to maintain the experience because- Don't just limit it to niggas. That's bigger than niggas. No, I'm gonna say niggins. I'm just saying, people. Sometimes it's the times that change. We can't let everybody be included in a nigger.

There you go. Everybody's not-niss no more. So I'm taking that shit back. You got some people want to have the experience. Then you got some people who have the experience, but then try to maintain the experience because they like what others view them when they have the experience.

So something, then they don't know about inflation. You see how much bigger, that's a bigger bucket. But you might make more this time. You might make more this time. You might make less than time. You might, and they may, They're thinking they fell in, but they don't know that's part of the growth. You feel what I'm saying?

And then you got other motherfuckers like us that made the experience a lifestyle. Hey man, I heard the nigger say something so cold on social media the other day. The niggas say, did nobody tell me that the steps back was part of the dance too. Well, that shit was so cold. I said, but a step back were part of the damn routine. You think you need two, three step back is you failing. Yeah. Oh, that's part of the dance, man.

Who do you want to be and what's the song that can take you there? Music changes what you feel, and what you feel changes what you do, right? That moment where a song shifts something inside you, that's where transformation starts. This year, I'm talking to experts across every area of life, like personal finance icon Gene Chatsky, New York Times journalist David Gellis, relationship legend Dan Savage, human connection teacher Mark Groves, and the man who shaped my ear more than anyone, Questlove. They'll bring the strategies. I'll pair them with the right records and will teach you how to use the music to use the music. to make change stick. This isn't just a podcast. It's unconventional therapy for your entire year.

know, you can start seeing the difference between the two to five millions. Then the $10 million. Then the big motherfucking money walk in. Yeah. That's the whole different. That's the one fucking make everybody

shut the fuck up. I've seen that shit happening in real life. I'm talking about we at Laughapalooza. This is probably 2007. The last one they did in Atlanta. I'm talking about it's a hallway. Everybody you can think of in that motherfucker, everybody you can name.

I'm from motherfucking Boris Kojo to Morris Chestnut to all the women. on TV you can think of I'm talking about it's a You know that hallway in the center state That old hallway From this end to the other end

Was you there when Mariah came? What? The motherfucker had like I won't even DC young fly. Bruh. Nica said, what, nigga had me for my ID and everything. Hey. I said, I work here.

The same motherfucker at that. You just, you saw it. I didn't look at it at that bad. You ain't looked at my bad all these shows. Nigger, Mariah Carey. Bruh, when she came on Wiling Out, the hardest, stiffest, toughest producers in that bitch, wiping their ass, grown-ass men.

Craying. That Mariah Carey. Man, crying. That Mariah Carey. I mean, she did make that Christmas out. I'm talking about it felt like the fucking room, like, bounced when she came back. in that motherfucker.

Like, it felt like the crowd was so hype. You could literally feel the room like shift up. It's real stardom right there, but real stardom. That's a different. Well, motherfuckers making so much noise on the floor you can hear that shit in the ceiling. It sounded like people on the fucking roof.

It was crazy. Because Nick was dating her at the time. That was his wife. Yeah, yeah. And I was proud to say that's my partner wife, man. Yeah. What? That's my partner wife.

They're going crazy. My father wife. I'm cool in hell hanging with the nigger. Why, you crazy? For sure, for show. Hey, boy, I felt that same feeling. But they don't know on Crip around to it. Hey, that's what I was just about to say, though, before that.

Nick, though. People just see Nick Cannon. They were like, ah, Nick Cannon on TV wilding out. Br, this motherfucker is a super droop. I don't think people really understand how successful this nigga is, man. I do know Nick. He up there in the A listers. We, real talk.

You got school of celebrities and then you got private schools. Yeah. We over here still with the school of celebrities. You feel me? We over here dominate these niggins. Fuck these niggins be thinking they, man, fuck y'all, niggins. We gotta go work with this nigger every day, bro. This motherfucker come out, shoot wilding out all motherfucking day,

jump on the plane, gone. Shoot another whole show while we had the hotel. Come back. Do this shit again. Do this shit again. Shoot wild and now. Go shoot this show and this show.

We all this coming up Monday. So this nigga from the fly to goddamn Europe and do the other version of the show. Sell a show. Come back and shoot a show. Like when we stand in there watching this, nigga like, bro, we got to step out of my fucking game up. Nigel, we're sitting there like,

we're working. We're thinking we working. This nigga out working all lust, bro. And that's why you can sit here and like sometimes when motherfuckers built that slacking and acting like we made it. No, we took this. Snop! Nah.

Nigger snout. He'll be like, hey, man. Y'all need to get this shit together. Talk like real niggins be like, hey, game, because this ain't how that work. No. This is not it. This nigger. You feel me?

I love y'all. This is the reason why this show still going on. They don't love y'all. You better maximize why this shit's still going on and I'm still got the energy that even come over here and do this shit. Oh, y'all think shit's shit. Oh, y'all think she's game.

Oh, all right. Okay. Matter of fact, I'm from to hop on in private tonight and go do my other show. Y'all's shit need to be right when I come back in the morning. Nigger talking like he fin to get in an 86 cutlist and go down the street and come back, game. He fend to a whole other state.

We sit here acting like we're doing some hard work. That's why that show's so funny, D.C., because they never noticed. It's never the same amount of people on each team. It never is. Why is that? Shit like that. Oh, you think it's a game, man.

Oh, y'all got too drunk. Y'all drinking. Y'all ain't did no episode, but you don't look at it. You'll cut like that just like that. Man, that motherfucker, you'll look over there. Be six people on this team and 12 people on this team. Damn. No care.

Nigel might walk up on you and be like, hey, why you ain't say nothing like that game? And then you'll walk off. And don't even wait for a response. Oh, you don't play the games no more? Oh, you don't want to play the game no more? Say no more. no more. That boy, I think he on TV.

Nick, I had to be in a beauty page. He said, no joke. Why, you ain't nobody going to see you? Oh, the worst is when they get caught doing the shit. The audience don't never see it. Right. Niggins be in the band. Why you ain't go?

You ain't gonna go? Oh, you're gonna fuck with this game. So the next episode, when you get in that bitch, guess what game first? That one, you don't fuck me. So guess what that mean? Yeah, I mean. They did that on perfect.

They do this shit so smooth. You got some people that was on that was supporting other people's jokes. Like, they go do good so I can add little your shit. Oh, man, get the hell off me, man. No, man, no, no. This is my shit. I came up with this shit. You need to come up with your own shit.

Hey, go up, you go up there and then I'm going to do. No, no. Stop asking me. You remember that time? We had the whole year. They were like, hey, no. Hey, D.C., come to do this. I'm like, why didn't he asked me to do shit?

Amen. No. When the mother was, hey, what? What you think of this? Yeah, you're gonna go home. You do that one. You're definitely going to go to the crib. But I'm like, do your time, my boy.

I can't sit here and tell you that ain't worth. This is how you know the shit. Do you the thing? When a nigga be like, hey, if you want to do it, do it. I don't know. I don't know. But don't get me wrong, though. It was worth people that we fought with, and we always made sure it was script.

But then you got people who came on that who thought they were shit. You had to let them figure it out for their stuff. Because of the attitude. We didn't save plenty of motherfuckers. We don't save, niggins now. Because we've been on the show so long, we see who will play well into the show. It ain't got to be stand-up comedy funny. That's what a lot of people get fucked up at.

Wiling out funny and stand-up comedy funny is not the same. If we did stand-up, the stand-up comedy, it'd be too slow for that. Because this is the improv. The timing different. So sometimes they'll have motherfuckers on there who be funny as fuck for what they're doing. But they don't get it.

Like the crowd to get it. Like some of my favorite motherfuckers who was ever on the show didn't last that long. Like you remember Shack? Yes. Stanley? Stanley? Man, this nigga had, he used to always wear

these big-ass construction boots, right? But like that was the biggest boots and the nigger had some glasses. He was kind of like a nerd, black dude. Man, this d'nigua was so funny, but they didn't get why he was funny. Right, right. Like, this is the nigga everybody went to school with,

and everybody used to fuck with him, but sometimes Stanley get to tell your ass up. It goes crazy, boy. Man. My little partnerhood, man, Royce, man. Royce made me laugh every fucking day. But his problem was he listening to the producer. And that's what thing you can't do.

You can't listen to somebody who's not on the stage. There's been plenty of people who came. You can't just go believe in yourself, bro. And couldn't deliver, though. They'd be funny as a motherfucker online. But that camera, and like you said, letting them people talk to you in your ear, and then you can just see what a motherfucker's

confidence gets shrunked. Now, once we fuck with, we definitely tried to work with him. Like, hell not, but don't, you see them. They might go back and be... The spirit be broke. Be like, hey, man, don't do that. You see a nigga, yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, don't do that.

Pick your motherfucking chin up, Nick. This shit, real bootcap at Wildland. Like, hey, pick your goddamn chin up. You hear the people? Wow. Listen, go out of that and do that shit. What about that nigga? Fuck that.

That thing ain't out there, man. Take your ass out there and do that shit. I'll be telling him, like, Eminem, you better lose yourself in the moment you won't. You better ever, ever, ever, ever. Do that shit again. Hey, do what you did. Let's go do that shit again, though. He was disclose.

Do the shit you did in the cafeteria, dick. What's wrong with you? Why would you change it? I went to base of training with a nigga who was on Wiling Up. For real? Who? Nick Nat Paddyway?

Yeah. He was on that? Freaky. We went to base in training. Damn. Yeah. That's freaky hair. He was in New Orleans.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All the New Orleans nigg is freaky. Don't know. Dude. Ooh, baby. That's crazy.

Yeah. We had some times on that bitch. What's you talking about? That's the show that I look for it. the going through every morning. Every morning, bro. I'm like, there's going to be some stupid shit going on the day. And if it ain't, we're going to make some happen.

That's all it was. It wasn't even, it was like, who's going to bring the stupid shit with them to work? Boy, they tricked us so goddamn good. They're still going? They had us. You remember they had us hide about this Sprite shit. What? Guys, we got the Sprite endorsement.

We think we're about to get a check. What do we get? Some games. Some Sprite. You folks put a goddamn. What do you call that pinball machine with the Sprite on the side? No. I was like, that's it, man.

They had some much Sprite. We had Sprite in a way, then. But you can't drink that goddamn Sprite and go on his stage under them light? We thought Sprite, come here, cut that jet. Shit. We got it. Hey, we locked them in. They're in.

Every show. C. Oh, yeah. This nigga is. No, but while not, but that's why that shit, it kind of like molded us to understand the building too, bro. We saw a lot of people on they come up too, man. Fetty Whop and T. Grizzly, French Montana, yeah, everybody. Chink's drugs before he died, Mac Miller.

Nigger, what's the other nigga with the booty chin, the white man? Jay Leno, nigga. I ain't ever ever thought I was gonna meet Jay Leno. Jay Leno. I was fucked up when Jay Leno came and he was still Jay Leno. It was like, he was in the cab, I was like, you shouldn't even a nigga that be standing outside in LA? It's Jay Leno.

He's like, this the real Jay Leno came. No, Shaughda. I said, what was him? My fucking head, big as hell. That booty head, it was real. I said, damn. I said, I got to get the booty chin in this motherfucker. No.

show. Remember when he finally started figuring out, he was nervous as fucking at first. He had, they lame too. And I'd be like, stop listening to the niggle, bro. But I understand. He'll always stumbling. Fuck the joke up. Or, like, put the punchline. He'll be fucking like, yeah. But I know how they understand

because it's like you're trying to please these niggas. We got, bro. These things ain't the one to please. I'll ask him when the show start. Oh, shit. You want me to start the show? Hey, welcome back to the 80s. Oh yeah, we missed on.

Freedom. He, y'all should look him up. Freedom from Ghana. Where we're going to look him up at? Google. Just freedom. Just Google. Just Google.

So he owned his hotel called Number One Oxford in Ghana, right? Number one what? The number one Oxford. Yeah, Oxford. I thought I heard Oxford. Yep, Oxford. Ain't that Mississippi, Oxford? Yes, sir.

That's what Old Miss. Shout out to it. That's not where Old Miss played. That ain't where they played? That's where a legend was born. Oh. That were you from? This nigga.

I'm going to give you one more chance. This nigga. Yeah. Yeah. So, man, it was just inspiring. And I saw him with that hotel. And then I was like, really, the idea came from, like, I told. Freedom Jacob's season.

That's him. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Cheddar. They call him a cheddar. Yeah, they call him cheddar. Yeah. So I met him in person.

It was one of the most inspired experiences of ever because I've been, you know, rich for a little minute. I ain't never been treated before. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like with a person saying, nah, I pay for that. Nah, you ride in the back one, you know what I'm saying? So it was pretty dope. And then, uh...

You don't hang around nobody that pay for your shit. Hell nah. You're like, hold on the, I got it. You're like, no, niggas, stop. You pay for that. Actually, my boy just paid for my lunch today. Really? Yeah, man.

Yeah, man. You get you some friend, Nick. Because I'm just telling you off the top so you don't expect it. I don't want nothing to be a surprise if I'm ever out of that. if I'm ever out with you, you're always paying. Where are we at? McDonald's or with my strokes.

You pan. You paying. No, I weren't that. It was just like dope. Like, it'd be in an environment and shit. So I told, I basically made a promise to the most how that before I kind of retire and, you know. You know, really, ready to return? Man, like, on some, it's like a money goal.

I hit a goal that I wanted to make. And I was like, man, before I stopped. Hold up, bro. When the last time I've seen you? It's not like you've made a whole lot of money. Niggi's talking about that's the shit DMX we're talking about in belly. He found a retired mood of Africa.

Right, he's been to go. Yeah. Man, I ain't really want to do the whole social media shit for too long. I just, you know, wanted to make enough money to retire and live all my assets. I said, before I do that, I want to get back, reach back to my community. Yeah.

And this is my kind of going away thing for like, before I kind of go ghost. But you just not tell me you about to come on here and say this sad shit. He's talking about before I go ghost. What the fuck you get a ghost, nigga? This shit, like when the plug is like, you know, this is my last one.

Man, what are you talking about, man? Man, what are you talking about, man? You're going to do this for you. You're point a judge. Hey, yo, man. Get you some suit. Yeah. Get you some rass, beat.

Get you some suit, get some rass, baby. I built y'all. I'm built y'all in a hotel, my bitch. I'm trying to tell him you out. It's going to be a tourist attraction, and then it's going to be a hotel next to it. Okay. Yeah. But shit, I want to get some retirement money, too.

I'm going to get a fuck on, too. Yeah, man. I might as well go on get some money with y'all. Oh, damn, man. Retiretage to who we call it. It's about assets, though, man. You know, just, uh. I always tell people every piece of money I get, I buy stocks, real estate, and crypto.

Yeah. And trying to acquire businesses that, you know, were thought of about me. Because I don't like to invest. It people or ideas no more. I invest in my own. What? That shit. How much money y'all don't lost off the other? Yeah, like, well, I got this idea.

Man. This shit about to take off. I ain't doing that shit. No-home. That shit, always. That shit, zero. I'm not doing that shit. No.

I just say this in that day. Two niggas in my entire life that was actually true. Him? And another one of my business, but he passed. Start from scratch, zero, and this shit actually turn into something. I'm not doing this shit no more. I need to see it already working. Now, that's true.

There you go. Give me, I need to see the ball roll. That's true. You're telling me I got to go by the ball and the top, the pump, the pump this motherfucker. That's that. And the court. You ain't got no car to get to the cut. Oh, this shit.

Yeah. That's right. We can't be investing in no businesses. That's not generating no profits already. Yeah, I ain't going to put them out there. Damn. Yeah. We got one.

We got one right now. We're right. Birth time. Yeah. We're looking for where is the food? Man. Every time I look up, I'd be like, so you ain't even going to trap.

You ain't going to try. You ain't going to send me a little too on or nothing. That's a hard. Give me a little hog. I don't want a little. I don't want to love a little. I don't went through that shit too, man.

It's funny, but it ain't funny. My nigga ain't going to send me a little 200 or nothing. I wouldn't send a nigga. I'd be sending something every now. I was saying a phone. But how was the energy when he came to y'all with the idea? It was a power point. Nigger likes to, look, you had this shit by next week.

No. Because I'm feeling to get this. to get these models for the sauce, right? The sauce got to be in, because look, man, my soul, I don't, in this bottle, the sauce lasts long. Listen, it's hard to find being the part of the energy to actually stick up to their part of the place. Oh, man, he fucked us up. Fucked up.

I had to learn what you pretty much said, like, you got to only invest in people who did it before and are doing it. Right. If that makes sense. Right. It could use an extra push. Right. It ain't that, it ain't even that.

it ain't even that man was you realize that's a scam too it's just this niggins be pulling up with fake business plan yeah this is the crazy part about it taking a nigga money around the world it ain't even at the business

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. You're talking about that disappear number? Yeah, what's the disappear number?

Yeah, I think I'm at the right. I go now. Shit, I ain't gonna lie to you. I'm just doing my purpose and my purpose for what God wants me to do. Exactly. I really could be like, man, I'm going to go over it. Because it's not about the money.

It's about where you can be. No, they're about the money. But I'm just saying, if shit ever get crossed up. Right. And it just so happened. I end up on the other side of the money. But what I'm saying is, but then... You out of there?

But then what I'm saying. So 50 million you out of the house. Oh, no. Get up on that Martin. You know what I have 50, you know the next time you'll see me? When they do one of those, where are they now?

Oh. But then my thine go, it's plenty of places you can go and live comfortable at, bro. It's all really about what you want, what you need. don't even need shit. We just want a lot of shit.

Amen. We want a lot of shit. 50? I'm feeling to go somewhere beautiful, man. That's the little. 50 minutes and I'm about to wear them little shorts. Every day with no draws on. Ah, damn, game, where you going?

I'm living. No, you can't do that. You can't do that. That's a decent exposure, man. I'm going to be a sexist, man. I'm going to do that. But the weather's so nice. And I got all this money.

And then we're just laughing that shit. That ain't funny no more. man, it's over with it. I'm getting all kind of shit. He said it ain't enough. That's enough. For me. Oh, yeah, that's enough for you.

For me. I think 50 enough. 50 enough for me. It ain't enough. What's enough for you then? Because you got to think about it. You know coming from somebody who has to spend money. Right.

So you got to think about it. The money only gives you leverage and it gives you a time span. So if you got a 50, that just means you got a couple years to figure that shit out. It depends. If I have. Like, if I hate my 50, I'm calling this niggins. Yeah, because you can live off. I already got my evacuation plan.

You can live off the interests of that shit. You can put that in a high year. But see, that's what I'm saying. If you got it up set up with your money working for you and you ain't got to physically be there, really? You know how much you can put it up away and then have six figures, game. You can put a 50 million and, yeah. 50 million you're going to give you way more than six figures.

No, what's going to give you about, because you can put it in dividends. Yeah. You'll make about maybe a two to a 1.5 a year. And you can live off that. And then still have your $50 million. But what I'm saying, and you know that if you invests certain amount of money and certain stocks that's giving dividends

and going up and down, you can make six figures just off in this portfolio alone. A month, though. Yes, off dividends with $50 million. That's what you fucked me up there. You're talking about $1.2 a month. No, no, no, no.

You said six figures a month. No, not a month. That's for the year. No, you're going to get way more than that in dividends with 50 million. If you put 50 million in a portfolio, no, I ain't saying, see, I ain't that type of thing that's going to put 50 million in the portfolio. I need some. You're saying 50 million is what you're going to stack up and never look at again. And now you start over and you're going to chill.

You're chilling. 100% because I just live off my own. You live off the interest. Yeah. But you got 50 put up, but you also got another 10, 20 stats just in case, because remember, there's other people playing with your money. But when I say, when I say retired, though, I mean, for me it's personally like, I'm trying to build businesses outside of, so that's another reason I'm building that because I want to make the same money outside of stocks and social media because it's still hustling. You know what I'm saying? So imagine if you can make money, so I'm trying to build apps behind.

of scenes. I'm building real estate projects or commercial. You put yourself in a position to retire. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Like, because I want to make money no matter if I'm on social media or a scene or anything. You get what I'm saying? I feel like that's the ultimate goal. See, that's good to have a plan. Because what I would do is

if I just hit that number, I'm going to take like $1 million, right? And I'm going to put me a whole team together of motherfuckers who know how to make money. Yeah. Because I got a million that I can do that with. What I'm saying is you put a whole team together.

Right. People, like you said, people who are proven to make money. Okay. Since you're all ready to hit the number. Now, if you're going to get, if you, that's the gamble part of it. If you was going to have all this bread, take the risk of, well, shit, why not? I can go sit down with some of the top 10 motherfuckers in the world making money. Right.

And they could say, hey, this, just to have this right here is going to make free. But you know what you just became? You just became a hedge fund. That's what I'm going. Right. I'm going over there. That's what he had with it, where he's like, individual, he's like, I'm straight.

But I want to be around niggins who got, like, hedge fund money where it's like, they're 50 million put up is now they got a whole other 50 million where they're trying to go meet another group of niggas who can make money with their food against for 50 million. My goal is to take this 50. I mean, I live in a neighborhood and then get over there with the 200s and the five. You know what I. You get over there with the 200s and the five's and with the two. You got to act. I don't want to be over there yet.

I don't want to go over there. I don't want to get. Because you know why? You know what? It go back to what we're saying. It's some tens and 15 they ain't getting. And guess who they're going to give it to? Give it to my little homie.

With my little homie. Right here. Come here. Not me. Not me. But I'm just speaking. You know, you know, when y'all said something important when y'all like where y'all at.

It's miles ahead where a lot of niggas at. If that makes sense where y'all are currently at. Right. But we try to use this platform to activate niggins. They think we all here's this bullshit. But the people who need to hear us, they be hearing it. Trying to get some money. Because we can't be in the trap with you every day telling you how to get some.

We can't. So we're definitely got to tell it to you. But we don't know what episode is going to take for it to finally click. Well, let's do it on this episode. We're talking about it. And they did it because we've seen them do it. You know what the motherfuck was saying. I swore on everything.

Somebody sent me a DM and seen him. I'm glad y'all was talking about that finance all the day, boy, I need to hear that. I ain't even hit back in like which one. It was just like, ain't going to tell it which one. Ain't no telling you. You just had to hear it. Let's talk about it. Yeah.

Let's talk about this finance shit. We'll get it. So how do we... Before we even do that, people got to understand. It's like, nothing that we can say can make you do in it. They think that shit magically appear. You got to take them steps yourself. It's some shit you got to do, too.

You can't just hear the shit. You got to put this shit to action. Yeah. So a lot of people, people hearing this for the first time, man, consider this your activation point. Right. You got to start somewhere. You've been bullshit long enough, and you see ain't nothing going to come out.

You ain't going to get $100,000, and then it starts with $100,000, then you make $100,000. Hey, man. It starts with $100,000. You got to start. It starts from a hero. Really? And you raise, and you grind, and you keep going. That's when the shit changed, though.

That first $100 that you make to the good on your real business. Not on your husband. hustle on your business shit. That shit feels like a thousand or a million. Yeah, like when you put in years of work and you took loss after loss and every little piece of change you get you putting towards this shit and then one day it's like...

You know what's crazy? I feel like that first five, ten, that you make profit from doing something that you created is one of the most confident boosts you can pretty much ever get like in life that first five. Especially that 10 in the, I'm talking about in a month, though. But how did you, how did you?

Because I don't want to say niggas. I want to say people. Because in general, we get complacent. They go back to what I was saying about the three different people. Some people want to have the experience. Now you figure out you had, you was in a position. You never had the experience. Now you made 10,000.

Now you're feeling the experience. Now you get stuck right here trying to maintain the experience. Now knowing that you may get a five, you may get a two. You make it a 10. This part of the stacking. You got to create it and make it a lifestyle. How did you not get stuck in the, okay, I got the experience. Let me try to figure out how I can make another 10 or make another.

How did you say, you know what? I'm going to just keep stacking. Keep stacking. Keep stacking. And not focus on the 10 because now you know it's possible. I'm going to just keep stacking. It's the same with the comedy. I think, see, I was, when I first made my six figures, I was 22.

And I'm my fault, 21. I made my first half a million at 22. So when I was 21, my mindset came from, I know it sound crazy, but this shit is, not that I think about it, sound crazy, but because I didn't go to college straight out of high school, I thought that by me hustling hard, I'm catching up to the niggas who about to graduate college.

Cause I'm thinking, cause they about to go get degrees, that, and I'm stuck, and I'm in the army. They said, I'm like, shit, exactly. They set up. I'm thinking they done made it because I'm not going to college. So my mindset came from, shit, let me try to outdo. I guess my peers at, like on some real shit just being real at first. It was about that.

Like let me study the stocks. Let me figure some shit out. Let me hustle. Let me save my money so I don't be behind. Then I saw this thing that said, if you want to get out the army, you need at least 20,000 saved. So that's where it really started. I was like, boy, if I want to get out the Army and survive, just in case I'm looking for jobs or whatnot, they said I need at least $20,000 in savings. So I came up with a plan because I had like four years left on my contract.

I signed a six-year contract. So I was like, man, so I came up with a plan so I could stack this 20 racks. And then I'm like, damn, I need this shit to move faster. And that's when I discovered investing because I looked at Google how to make money from my phone because the army we wake up from from 5 30 a.m. and we get off at 5 p.m. so it's a 12 12 I mean it's 12 hour shift so I was I have to make it from my phone so everything I Google of course bullshit do a survey bullshit do this do that but everything every forum said invest invest invest invest invest invest so I knew I was smart enough because I self-taught myself how to barber from watching YouTube videos.

And now I'm making 3K a month. Then I was actually smart. I took all AP classes in high school. I took AP literature, AP math, AP science, AP social studies. I took everything, right? So I took all honors classes. So I was like, damn, I know I can read. I know I'm smart.

So I was like, damn, I've got to learn this invest in shit. And once I learned, it started with, the fact that I had this app called Acorns. And that's what really made me get rich, this app. So this app, it was saying if I deposit $100 a week

into this and I'm making the return, I think it was like 7%, 10% some shit. It said I'd be a millionaire when I was 65. So the percentages, so I play with the percentages and I played with the number

that it would take me to get to become a millionaire. So I realized, okay, I'm making two grand a month from the army at the time. And I'm making 3K a month from cutting hair. So I'm making 5K a month. So I said, I, how about I, because I thought about this. I said, okay, I'm bawling for real at first. I'm making 5K a month. The soldiers making 2K a month, but I don't live it off my 5K. So I said, how about I live off my 2K and invest my 3K a month? But at first I was playing crazy. I was just putting in $100 a week, which is $500. So I started breaking shit down.

I was like, okay, it's $52 weeks in a year. If I put $100 every week into this account, I should have minimum $5,200 December 31st. Why the fuck don't I have $5,200 December 31st? So I looked at myself like, that's retarded. So 50. No offense. Yeah.

So that's how I looked at myself. I said, man, I'm a grown-in-man. I don't got $5,200, December 30. first so I said something some wrong so I said I'm gonna give up joiners I'm gonna give up eating out every week I'm gonna give up video game gonna give up cable and I of course I weren't smoking cause in the arms so I had no drug problem I gave up everything right so as we smoke a drug oh yeah yeah I went crazy so it was crazy so I don't sit here thinking I'm like man I'm gonna have 5200 but I'm gonna put

it into an investment account but I didn't know how to invest. So Acorns was an auto investor. So I went down this rabbit hole trying to figure out how the hell are they making me money? Because I put in about four grand and I made 400. So I'm like, that's a 10% return. But how? Then I started to research how they're making me money and they're invested my money into V-O-O-Vanguard ETF, which tracks the spy ETF. Right? So I'm like, oh shit. So now I can, so that's where it came from. And I was like, okay, so I put $4,000 there. By the fuck did I make $400?

I'm trying to figure that out. It took me three months to figure out how the hell I made $400. And that's how the rabbit hole started. Me trying to figure out how to make money, me trying to figure out of a stack of 20 so I can get out of the Army. It's just a bunch of shit that transition to me like,

okay, I gotta invest this money. And then I saw the graph, and I still got it to this day. It said if I invest $3,000 a month, At a 25% return, and I had about nine grand, I'll be a millionaire in 10 years. I was 21. I said, bro, I'd be a millionaire by the time I'm 31. At the pace, I'm going. But I was getting a 40% return.

So I was like... And I just buy, doing the stock? I would just, every time I get money, I would buy more shares of stock. Every month I'm putting in 3,000, and I'm buying the shares you heard are Apple, Google, Navidia, AT&T, whatever I can get, you get understand, I'm diversifying, so I'm learning. So then I was like, man, fuck this. So I was going to be an IT person. So I was still going to make six figures outside the Army because I had my top secret security clearance, right?

And then I was IT in the Army, which is transitional. So I was still going to make about 150 grand when I got out because I knew I had connections. It was a rich guy I met on social media. And then my sister married a guy who was in IT. So I was either going to work for him in Atlanta, or I was going to work with this rich guy in D.C. And I chose the rich guy in D.C. Because I saw the return were going to be crazy.

And then they don't government contracting jobs. So that's what I was going to do at first. But I quit that. When I made my first 3,000 investing, I was like, if I could make three grand from this shit, and I was just buying shares. And so I'm just putting in money. And then out of nowhere, this account went from 7,000 to about 40,000.

Everybody is, it's crazy because it's like most niggas gurus today because they saw other nigger do it. I'm the original guru, meaning like I started in 2018. I'm 22 years old, 40 rats in an investing account. Everybody hit my line. And then remember, I'm a barber. So every time somebody come in my chair, they buy my book. So I couldn't reach everybody.

So that's what a book idea came from. So I'm like, okay, I can't reach all these niggas. I didn't have no course. I didn't have nothing. I'm just investing just popping shit. It was just a passion at first. All because I'm trying to get out the Army. And then I'm looking at that graph and saying I'm going to be a millionaire in 10 years.

So I'm like, shit, what's good? So everybody here in my line. When I say everybody, man, it's to the point where I was locally famous before I was famous on Instagram. I mean in the army the colonel know who I am that when I say everybody know who I am you know everybody knew who I was even exactly so because you got to think like I ain't allowed popping shit when I made my first 300 thousand I'm still in the army I got there I go by to a 300 p yeah because remember I told you I wrote that book I didn't get to that point so when I made my 40 I'm still as I'm making money from the book sell

coming in because if you get in my chair you buying a book online they're buying a book so my shit went viral online viral locally right so the book was five dollars at first then I wrote another book that was 20 because of the five dollar shit took off I made six grand on five dollars off a five dollar book so that's how many sales I made from a five dollar book all cash out by the way niggas just cash apping me so paid the taxes nope I did not all right they're gonna But so, so, right, so I write this book and I had my lady edit it for me. Smart. So she was in college at the time.

I was like, I'm going to write this book, proofread it for me because I know you're writing papers and shit. Right. And then, man, that shit went viral across the trading community. Then I'm reinvesting in the ads and shit. I'm making $10,000, $20,000 a month just off the book. When I made my first $10,000 off the book, because, two months in a row, I quit cutting hair. I said, oh, it's over with it.

So now I'm reinvesting the book profits into the stock market. So as I'm reinvesting, now this account is at 100,000, 200,000, right? When I made my first 300,000, I went and got me my dream car at the time, which was a Camero SS. I get the 2019 Camero SS in 2019. I got 300-some thousand on me. And then people was like, man, I want to get mentor by you because you know you're doing good with them stocks and stuff. And I was like, Brian, got no...

They were like, look, we want you to just tell us what you buying. And then that's where the chat came in. So I was like, all right, cool, give me $100 a month. I do all the hard work for you. Thank you. Fuck you, tell you. Within literally a day. no in a week I had a thousand dollars a month reoccurring while the book is selling

by the way while I'm still in the Army so at that time I'm making 4k from the Army because I didn't know getting married so I'm making 4,000 from the Army I'm making 10 20 thousand a month from the book and then I'm making at that time it was a thousand dollars a month from the chat so in the Army as a 22 year old I'm bringing And then, I'm reinvesting the profit. So I'm making, like, another 10, $20,000 from investments, right, per month. So, you know, that's when I knew, like, once I made my first 50 grand in a month, I was like, yeah, I'm getting out of the Army.

It was over. I made more in a month. Ain't no more than 10 hut around this, man. Yeah. What is you yelling at? Somebody, yeah, yeah, for sure. I ain't getting up. It was like that.

It's 4 o'clock in morning, man. That got that alcohol stanky. And that's how I was able to build my business. Because that lie out when you're going to leave. I'm 10. You want to eat boot? Doubt you would have did. Don't fix you fuck on, guy.

You won't need need your boot. I swear to God. You need your dick, man. He made that shit, guy. Oh, God. That's not how I was. I swear to God. Email that shit.

I had over a million cash before I got out the Army. I got the Army March 20 of 2020. I joined September 9th, 2014. I know every day. We ain't saying nothing about the patient, though. Shout out to the Patriot. Yeah, you want to find out.

No way. You can fight, fight. Man, it's crazy, because how about to volunteer for deployment? Really? Because they went, because I had a non-deployable unit. So I had that MOS that where you can volunteer. But, um... You couldn't go out there and fight, boy?

I wanted to because at the time, that was before I was investing. But then I got down, was dating... Start getting that money. You said, man. Put that gun down, boy. It was because I was dating her. I was like, damn, like, you met me at a crazy time, because I'm about to go overseas and go deploy.

And she was like, damn. Like, we was kicking it hard, too. And it was, like, one of the best times of my life. I was, like, damn, like. That's all right, though. So it's crazy because I skipped deployment. I was going to come out with at least $30,000. And that was good money at that time.

For sure. Like cash. And then I skipped it to kick it with her. And I still got rich. Fucking right. Yeah. What's that? What's that?

Not real shit. The throw control. And I still got rich. Yeah. But let's talk about some money. You know, look, I put a new book called, And I Still Got Rich. Hey.

That's it? You said, what? Let's talk about some money shit? Nah, I really want to, like, because y'all got a lot of people from the bottom. So any type of questions y'all got, like, about getting money. Because I started from the bottom. I started from zero. I joined the Army at 18.

You know what I'm saying? Like, no inheritance, nothing. Well, shit, tell an everyday hustler right now that's seen that decree or right? You feel me? Like, like you said, you know how to invest. Explain it like you're explaining it to a five-year-old. Like, no, I don't explain it like you're explaining to a five-year-old because he ain't a nink grown.

Right. You got to talk to these niggum grown man. Leave middle school, guy. God, dang. I can explain it as little as possible. You got to feel some trust up. Niggas tight with a dollar. I can still talk to you like a little five-plier.

What he's talking about it. Because he still, you got to think about it's time. So whatever I'm speaking, it's wisdom. I can't just be talking to a motherfucker who'd be like, all right, but what you mean five plus five? Sometimes we'd be wasting our time. So talk to that nigga who's really like, all right, gang. I got a 10.

10,000. I don't want to go back. I want to stay at a 10. What do I need to do? You got a nigga that scared to invest their money because they don't want to see their money disappear. Man, take that thousand. Tell him what he need to do.

Just stay at five figures and keep going. That's what I'm saying. So he got a 10,000, and we're trying to turn his 10,000. into 100? Keep going. He don't like it. You got to think that.

You don't want to see it go back to $8,000,000, $7,000. But here's my thing. Remember, I told you, the only reason I was able to, in order to become a millionaire investing, you still got to have cash flow. Right. So first thing that I tell people is you need two streams of income, one to live off of, one to invest.

I live off my army money and I invested my barber money. It's impossible to get rich, or you need a big stream of income, live off half, invest the other half. Or your old lady and you, y'all live off the lowest stream of income and y'all invest the biggest stream of income together, and that's how y'all are going to fast track y'all wealth. So everything I'm saying requires two strings or breaking down one string.

And that is the first step. You need cash flow in order to get rich. You need, in order to get rich in 10 years, you need at least $3,000 a month. Yeah, Damon John said your first thing. Your job is your first investor. Right. To invest.

And then you need to get a return like a 25, on average, 25%, which is possible, but you need the right strategy. See, what they're, today, everybody going to day trading route, right? But that's not building generational wealth. Right. The real generational wealth play is continuously pouring money into an investing account, your cash flow. Compound.

And keeping that and then getting a return on investment on that. And then if you do that for 10 years, it's almost impossible not to get rich. Or be at six figures. You get what I'm saying? On a minimum tip. So say, for example, we buy a stock of Apple. Say, for example, it's at $50, right?

Right. You stock of Apple. Say, for example, I'm talking to the nigga with 10 grand. He's like, hey, say no more air I'm a nigga with 10,000. Say no more air start. I see what you're saying, gang. I got a 10. take this thousand, right?

I'm going to buy as many stocks as I can or Apple right now. But that's, I wouldn't recommend him to do that. What I would tell him is, for one, you got to wait for the market to drop 20%

which is SPY. So, so, when the market drops 20% that is classified as a bear market. Time out of air start. I don't know. Man, what the fuck you just said,

gang. I'm out of telling you. And play it's just investing some ETFs. There you go. He can invest in ETFs. Oh, ETS are exchange traded funds.

Exchange traded funds are basically a stock that is comprised of a bunch of other stocks based on a category. So Spy is more so a diversify ETF. Spy will own shares, lots of shares of... Yeah, all that. See, QQQQQ is the tech. Yeah. ETF, mostly tech. Spy will have health care stocks, tech.

And then it's called the S&P 500, standard. and pours 500, which is comprised of 500 stops chosen by a committee. And Spy is the benchmark of the stock market. So if Spy is generally up, then most of the top companies that they own are generally up, which is meta, Apple, Navidia, all of that. That's what I'm just saying. I'm going to say. Go ahead.

Okay. You shoot dice. All right. So instead of betting on your point, you're betting on your game. Mm-hmm. You get what I'm saying? It's just like dice if you take the point away. Because you're not betting on the point no more.

Right. Now you're betting on the game. Right. So when you invest in the ETF, you just really invest in that the game going to keep going. Instead of a particular start. So you got to understand. So up or down, the game continue. This is a new avenue for me.

Right. So even I'm going off of shit that I've heard about or a hike. Warren Buckley is the most successful investor in American history. Right. And he said it flat out. Nobody can beat the S&P 500. Nobody. So you're talking to taking a long route where you're saying, buy the apple stock. You're not good enough, like the average person is not good

enough to just trade individual stock. But they can. I'll tell them what they should. But that's what I'm saying. How do I know what's an individual stock and what's an ET? A ETF is, well, for one it'll say it. And you can also Google spy holdings, right? And then you can click on any of them sites and it'll show you the 500 stops spy hold. Then you have other ETS. You have health care ETF, like SLV, which is comprised of all the health care sector. So they got SELF.

They got individual stocks, and then they have ETF. So you're telling me, don't invest in individual stocks, investing in ETS. You could, but you have to do that when they either go in a bear market or correct. A correction is 10% from the most recent high. A bare market is 20%. But what I tell people is when Spy drops 20%,

from all time high the most recent high, that is when you, let's just say you have 10,000. Now I'm about to break it down. Right. If you got $10,000, spy drops 20%.

What you want is the top companies like Apple, meta, Google, Tesla, all of that. This is the best time to invest. Whenever somebody say, what is the best time to invest? This is where I make all my money.

I make 90% of my money, mostly... First quarter? No. During a bare market. Okay. You buy during fear and you sell during greed. So bare market, people are fearful.

So even Warren Buffett said, you're supposed to buy when they're fearful, sell when they're greedy, right? Right. So when spy drops 20% from the most recent high, you put 50% of your money in. So if I got a million dollars, I'm going 500K, and I'm going to put all the 500K. If I got 10,000, I'm going 5K into either some ETS,

which I would actually recommend. I'll tell them the ETS that I recommend. SLF, which is the bank sector, SLV, which is the healthcare sector. And then if you can't afford a spy, you go VT, something a little cheaper. Or, you know, yeah, like IWM as well, all of those, right? So that's what you're waiting on, a bear market, which is a 20% drop. And then, remember we put our 5,000 in, which was 50% of our money, right? And I'm going to tell people where to put the 50% in the top companies,

but instead you want these down 40 to 70%, which would be apples, medas, Googles, Tesla, all of that. You want those down 40 to 70, but you want Spy down 20. And that's when I go 50% in. Spy go down another 5%, which is 25%. I put another $2,500 in. Spy go down another 5%. I'm full in 2000, I mean 10,000 inside, or in my case, one million.

I'm heavy now. I just went down 30%. COVID was a 35% drop, and then it recovered. I know all the percentage. I study every single American drop that is on the graph, which starts from 2000. You got the dot-com bubble, which was from 2000 to 01, drop. That was, I think, in the 50% tithel. The worst one was the 2%.

2008 one, which is about a 67% drop. The housing market. Housing market, 2008. Then it recovered. Then after that, it was a long bull market run. The longest in history, almost a decade bull run, right? And then the next one, all of them were kind of short-dated. So from 2008, there was no drop all the way into about 2018, a decade bull run.

When Trump was trade war with China, it dropped 20% and recovered. So the reason I made money in 2025... Isn't that what it is? It was what? The bricks shit. No, no, no. This was when ORA could have been,

but this was 2018. Yeah, that's when they did the brick shit, right? It was... All I remember was a trade war with China. European joint. the currency when they changed all the money. Because that she hit and dropped. In 2018, after that, it recovered.

And then in 2020, COVID, which was a 35% drop. So remember, if you would have just averaged in at 20% until it get down to 30, even if it went 35%. Remember, you're holding long turn. That 5% recovered so fast from COVID. And remember, the stock market takes the elevator down and the staircase up. So it'll always drop fast,

but it will recover slow. So that's another slogan they need to know. The stock market takes the elevator down and the staircase up. So basically I got to wait. I'm playing a waiting game. And I got to watch. What I got to watch every day?

What new? So during the time that you don't wait, that's when you learn the trading game. But trading is not supposed to get you rich. trading is the cash flow. It's the freedom play. Trading isn't the overall play. The overall play is the long-term play,

putting up your money into long-term assets at dips. Right. Trading is I'm taking a $5,000 and I'm leveraging it to make a $400 a day because $400 a day is six figures. So everybody in this room has potential to make $400 a day. But how do we make 400 a day trading? I'll tell you.

So I learned this from my rich Jewish friends. I said, bro, break down to me the key to this trading shit. He said, more size, less trades. Mike told me that. Mike Jewish, right? So this is the first rich white boy I ever got in contact with. So I said, tell me what you mean. He said, bro, us rich guys, we're not flipping 500 and trying to turn into a thousand.

we're taking 5,000 and taking out 20% to make a thousand. I said, damn, us black people. Bring that bet. All right. So I'll tell you.

So let's just say you want to make $400 a day, right? Or what you, give me a number. What do we want to make? $400, $200, $1,000 a day. $400 a day. So here's the formula. If I wanted to make $400 a day, I want to do this.

For one, I need about $5,000. So remember, It's $5,000. That means what? Every finger equals $1,000, right? So if I'm day trading, which is the trading route, remember, this is about cash flow. I'm going to use $1,000 to make $200. So I'm using $20.

I call it a 2020 rule. Everything equals $1,000. I'm using $1,000, which is 20% of my account. So that means even if I blow this $1,000, I still got 80% left. And then with that 1,000, I'm trying to make 20%. So I call the 2020 rule, 20, and then my profit is trying to get 20, win or lose 20%. Correct? Right.

So even if I lose 200 off that first 1,000, I still got what? 4,000, 4,800. So I'm still good in the fight. It's all about risk management. This is called risk management. See, what a lot of people would do is they'll use $2,500 off top or $3,000, 5K trying to get rich quick when they're really supposed to Pimp Day money because think about it it's 20 trading days in a month

If you can average $400 a day, that's $8,000 in one month Which is what if we times 12 what's 8,000 times 12? What's 8,000 times 12? 96,000 right? So they just created our $400 a day. They just bought their freedom back. They can quit their 9 to 5 but a lot of people don't want to follow the system. You know what most people do they're going to use that 1,000 or that 500, and they're going to try to hold it for 200 to 100% almost like sports betting.

If you're trying to sports bet and you're only playing parleyes, you're probably not going to be profitable. But if you keep hitting them singles, those ones that you know that's going to hit, you will be more profitable than a person trying to play parlays all year because he's going to lose money

trying to get rich quick. So I tell people, day training is the freedom play. It's not the end goal. You're just trying to stack up a little because you've got to break it down. That's 250 trading days in a year. If you make $100 a day, that's $25,000. If you make $200 a day, that's $50,000.

You make $400, that's $100,000. You make $1,000, that's $250,000. You know what I'm saying? If you make $4,000, which is what you got to average to be a seven-figure trader, you got to average $4,000 per day. So that's how you got to break it down. It's called more size, less trades,

because it's easier to make 20% than it is to make $100.000. 100%. Right. We'll be in the green quick. Thank you. You realize you're in the red, but you was in the green person. But, you know, and then what I tell people is, let's just say I did use that

1,000, right? And the trade goes 20%. I'm not going to get out fully at 20%. What I'm going to do is, let's just say I got 10 contracts in option trading, right? As soon as it hit 20%, I'm out of eight contracts. I'm out of 80% of my shit. And I only have 20% left. So that way, I'm not afraid to hold the runner.

So me, I play about 10,000 size. Right, right. So as soon as it hit 20%, I already locked in about 1,500 is money, right? I'm already out of it, mostly. And sometimes it'll hit 30%. Now I'm up 3K

within 5, 10 minutes, right? And, you know, of course I'm playing, but remember, this is day trading. This is the freedom game. Most of my money is going into the long game. So I tell people you've got to break your money down. If I had 10,000, I'd probably go with day trade,

I'd probably go a 1,000 or a 2,000, and then that other 8,000, I'm going long. Because the goal is to keep my money, not lose it. And then that other shit, I'm trying to learn that. I'm playing small. But a lot of people don't want to play small because it's almost like Vegas.

You're always trying to play large. I tell people the tortoise wins the race. The person who's making $400 a day is going to be rich. that person trying to make 10,000 a day, who just started. Because he's going to be up 96K at the end of the year, and you're going to be negative 100,000. One balled.

Yeah. I'm talking about bad. I know I'm putting, bro, that lady. In a day. That lad of a restaurant. It's all gone. It's all gone. It's all gone.

It's all gone. I know I bought a bunch of that little fit. Yeah. Babycare, ask your mom if we can stay with that. I'm telling you, man. It's all gone. Amen. Yeah.

Well, let's keep it going on. Stack that paper man. And invest that paper man. man you feel like I'm I'm a I'm a stacker I remember when I told myself I had a stack some money and said I won't go never touch it and I had to teach but you can't get rich saving though you can only get rich investing that's real I mean both both both I take both but you got to think the streams of income you had coming in the average person can't get I understand you you was able to save seven figures because I remember I saved I ain't say nothing

There you go. There you go. There you go. Hey, that's the Carlos Miller school Firetances right there. Look what I'm saying? He can say shit. I ain't got it.

All right. It's all gone. That's the damn mother book. It's all gone. I'm a hush. That's why I still could have. I don't know about you. I'm thinking about going to the army

while you're booed shit. Make sure you can be able to look at me and DC got a course call how to fuck up some money. I'm telling you, guys. Shit, crazy. But what I'm saying is you can say because think about it.

That's not going to grow your money, though. It's not going to grow your money, but if you're smart and you are financially literate, you can fucking grow your money if you save. We do a lot of exes spending. We spend on a lot of shit we don't fucking need, my nigga. A nigga be like he never made $10,000. Yes, you have. You blew $10,000 a lot of times.

Nick, about $10,000 worth a cigarette last year. You don't even understand. So if we had a saving mechanism, bro, we'd be okay, bro. I don't see that, bro, it's a lot of people get rich in the poet. What they claim is poet. Because we spend money. If you look up everywhere we're going, we're spending some. It's hard, though, man, like, because it's environmental.

What I had to learn was it's all environmental. Like, okay, if you're a New Yorker, it's environmental. They want the Dior shoes. They want the this and that. If you were A.T. Lian, it was environmental for us. You want the true religion jeans. You want the, what was it back in the day? thing that another nigga had that we didn't have.

Thank you. And what was it in Lane Mad Mississippi? Y'all, you know. They're gonna be tell ya. With Mississippi, they're gonna come out nowhere. Hey, bro, I'm from Mississippi ever start. I fuck with you. Hey.

But I'm from Mississippi. They do Mississippi like that? No, for real, what was it? What did everybody want to buy when you were growing up? It wasn't no one thing, though. Of course not. Because think about it. We was comfortable with not even.

Shit, J's and shit like. When we start having, we start feeling like we gotta do shit to fit in where we feel like this is well. This is what we got to do to make it feel like this what you do when niggas get money. We got to do this. Let's talk about that. How do we get people to climb out of that? This is the thing. We can't.

You don't think so? No. They're going to keep doing it. Right now I know a nigga who blew 30,000 who's saying he ain't never had no money. You can't talk about into doing shit. You can't convince them. whether it's for the better or the... They can only do what they want it for themselves.

They don't care. That's what I'm saying. They like looking for excuses. All you can do is put the information out there and let the people do whatever they can with it. Let me ask you all this. This dream came from a dirt. Both of y'all been outside the country, right?

Yeah. All right, would y'all admit that as an American, you have way more of an advantage to get money than any black man on earth like right now? Because every time you go out to come. country and you see the difference. They got the same hustle we got. If we were in the same situation, we would be doing exactly what they're doing. They see it as, okay, it ain't a whole bunch of money to even get. Right, right, right. But I'm more grateful that I get the opportunity

to at least go get some. That's why they come to America and run circles around. Because this is the thing. It's more financial freedom because it's jobs, create. over there is more so jobs are created but you also have a skill set. And some places you got a skill set, gang. You got to create you a job. You got a skill set, you got no skill. You been to gunner. Yes.

All right, you been to the park. I saw me like they're working with bricks, babies. Thank you. They can stack, me can't stack a brick. So do you, would you agree that as an American, as a black American, you have a better opportunity to get wealthy than a black person from Ghana? I would just say you have a better opportunity to find a job. But if you have a skill, you can go get a credit card.

You got to understand the advantages you have in America. You can get food stamps. You can get a credit card. It's better financial freedom, for sure, for sure, for sure. That's what I'm trying to say. As an American, think about the advantages you have. When I was over there, I went to Tanzania. Some of those kids walked to school.

Right, right, barefoot. Right? You get a free bus ride to school. Some of these people don't have air conditioning units. You get Section 8 and you get some of your parents get government stipends. You got a refrigerator, a shower. I understand it. You're actually living more wealthy than a lot of people.

It's a mindset. It's a mindset. But what I'm saying is they don't understand how much of an advantage they have being in America. You get them trying to say? You get a free bus ride. You get government assistance. You can get a credit card. A homeless person technically right now could still go get a car.

credit card if they wanted to. They don't even know it probably. They ain't gonna let them in the bank, though, guy. Probably won't. They don't. There ain't gonna be locked no, go on it's Joe. They don't want to get a goddamn credit card, man. It's not that I get pressed on. It's hard to compare situations on the what if. Okay. It's hard to say this would have an if. You can't say what if. It's people who right here and they can't take advantage of the what if. Right. It just don't work like everybody in this room can have a credit card. I know, but it They admit for everybody.

I ain't saying it ain't everybody going to do with them, though. They're not going to take the advantage to do it. You're right. That's the second. You can give a money of credit card. If you don't know what to do with it, it's useless. That's fact.

Without financial literacy is the crazy part is the same way somebody can translate that into getting rich, somebody going to ruin their life with this shit too. They said a lottery winners go broke because they had no financial literacy. They say a lot of NFL players go broke. A lot of rappers

go broke. They spin, and it's bad investments too. But that come from spinning. Y'all don't seen a lot of rappers. How many of y'all, how many of them you all seen go broke? I don't know.

I don't know. I ain't saying who. I'm saying, have you seen it before? No, because I know a nigga who I can't have no money and got my money and everybody in the motherfuck of a room. You're like,

now you'll be walking back. I've seen, I've seen broke on every level because everybody who was broke. What I'm saying? I'm not picking on them. I'm saying, I had the money. I had it. I had it.

I had that. I just fucked it up. Yeah. I'm saying I'm not picking on them. I'm saying a lack of financial literacy got them there is what I'm saying. It doesn't matter how much money you made. You can have 10 million. If you're an idiot, you can lose all that 10.

Yes, you can. That's fast. Yes, you can. It's easy to blow. Yes. You got to get some money to know how money worked. Right. The average person, probably 90 to 95% of people think that the only thing you're supposed to do with money is spending.

That's, that's the mind. Everybody don't grasp the concept that you're supposed to be using money. to do something else with it. A lot of people not trained to say, hey, I can't spend money on something I can't touch. But would you, what y'all... Especially in the black community.

Let me ask you all this. Do y'all believe financial literacy is a trait that's taught from parent to child? So you gotta think, our grandparents weren't taught it. They weren't taught.

We missed. It's a disconnect. But we're talking about... Who black millionaires and 18-hundred? No, it was. It was. But what I'm saying is. is the art of, but a lot of us wasn't.

Right. Did your, did your mother or father tell you to invest your money? Did George tell you to invest? That's what I'm saying. They saved. That's what I'm saying. That's what that comes from. They say, say, that's a tall thing.

So think about it. Before you can invest, you have to save, so we have to go back to the root of the problem. Before we fix some, we gotta fix the problem. Yeah. The problem is, they need, don't know how to save, bro. Before you can invest, you gotta save.

Save something so you can invest something. Something thing. Your niggas is spending. But you want to know something crazy? You want to know something crazy? I feel like the mindset is. Some people know they can say some people really feel like they don't have a purpose in life. They don't feel like there is a.

We can't save them, niggins. We got to go. But I get it. But what I'm saying is, think about it. Think about it. What is the purpose of me saving if I'm poor? I don't feel like I'm shit. I don't feel like I'm going to be shit.

And I don't feel like I'm going nowhere. And it's tone deaf. So why don't I just spend money on J's, live like a poor person, because everybody around me is poor. Okay. Hold up. How the hell you get mad that your money's stacking? This doesn't mess up. Some people don't have a purpose.

They're making just enough. You can't leave them out. That's the situation for the average person. At this point of where the economy is, the people who are behind are all the way behind, they're not making enough to cover the necessities. to have nothing to save. I'm not even talking about them people. A majority of black people are living in the negative. But it's a lot of people, bro, I swore on everything, bro.

They're making at least something that they can save something. I'm not talking to the people that's only making the shit that go from their hand to the other. You got niggins that really have extra. I understand the people that you're talking about. But to say, I'm addressing the larger crowd. I'm not just talking about the nigger who got some street money. I'm talking about the nigger who got some street money.

average working person. Because people out here working full-time jobs with no free time who don't have the luxury of having a cash hustle or taking advantage of a skill. Most people out here are working a job that's paying them just enough to be broke. I'm saying even when you break down how much you make versus how much you need, they're already negative two, three hundred dollars a month. Ain't no extra. Ain't no extra.

But you got to also understand. I understand. A lot of people living, would y'all agree that a lot of people... Sometimes I tell the nigga, I understand how you feel, guy. You had to put that pistol on that that thing. You got 5,000. Now you have to read. I'm about the bed. I would y'all agree that most people live or either lifestyle creep or live above their means? Okay. Like, okay, look, if a person... I got to pee, guy. I just drunk three-bott-water water in my back. No, you good. If a person made 3,000 a month, right? Okay.

And then they get a promotion and make 5,000 a month. Do you think they're going to keep that same lifestyle or they're going to upgrade their lifestyle and then now let me add another 1,000 a month in bills? You get what I'm saying?

That's what people do. So what I tell people with, that's how I got rich was when I got rich, my bills were, when I made my first million, my bills were about $5,000 a month. And that was because I'm buying trading subscriptions like for flow algo buying you know I'm employees or whatnot at the time when

I made my first million but my personal expenses were $2,500 a month when I made my first million so you got to think most people when they making because what is that 83k a month to make a million right what would they do they're going to go get 50k in bills I got me a Lamborghini I got me a this I got me at that. Instead of let me live in a small, or not even a small apartment, just a nice enough apartment in a nice neighborhood,

that would run me maybe 20, in the outskirts, that would run me maybe 3,000, $2,500 a month. And still, I'm a millionaire. Don't nobody know. Let me live below my means and let me kind of wait till I make about five

or three to really show niggas that what this shit is. You know what I'm saying? Do you see that? Do you see that? What? You can tell them all day. Yeah.

And they're going to listen. Is that the goal to convince people that they can be a millionaire? Yeah. Oh, that's on them if they don't believe you, man. Yeah. You did it. Why wouldn't they believe it? You got, I think, a thousand millionaires are created every day in America.

So that's 365K millionaires per year. On average, you can Google it. How many millionaires per day? Happened in America. That means a thousand people wake up and figure this shit out Only a thousand only That's three hundred fifty five k. It could be you. It could be you. It could be you. Yeah You have the potential to be a millionaire But here's how I see it though on some real shit. Yeah, all right? If we all human right

We all got fingers. We all got toes. We all got eyes We all got a brain Why am I sitting here telling myself that this other human can accomplish something but I can't you get on trying to say? Who fucking with you, bro? That's not what you're just

Not when they're working with you? Right, but who fucking with you? You're not Aaron Stahler? Well, what? No, he was just saying everybody has the potential. Yes, everybody does have a potential. Well, if you're not crippled

or mentally ill. You can do it if you crippled. Hey, that's why I'm trying to say, bro. I don't see niggas, bro, who's literally not able to walk get more money than niggas who can walk. So it's like, I can't, I can have empathy.

What they got to do with anything, man? Because niggas be having, can niggas make excuse. You're not a nigga who can't walk out, walk you? No, not, I'm just saying, I've seen a nigger who really got his legs, make excuse for why he can't make no money, and I've seen a nigger who can't walk, make more money than a nigger who can walk. So I'm like, gang, I can have empathy, but I can't have sympathy. Damn.

I can feel for you, but I'm not fend to feel for you, but I'm not fend to feel. sorry for you and then help you and like, use that excuse, be like, all right, my niggins, stay there. I feel why you can use that as an excuse. You know my philosophy. If I didn't cut you, you can't bleed on me. That's the rule. What do they lead blood for a guy?

That's the fucking rules, man. Bleed elsewhere. At this point in life, you just got to grab all the shit you want to take with you and get the fuck out of there, man. My whole load is to get the fuck out of there. I'm not the nigger that want to win the argument. I don't want to, I'm not the tough guy.

I don't want to fight. How about I just, let me fucking leave. Because I ain't want to be over here in the first fucking place. Soon as we got over here, I knew I ain't want to be over here. That's called self-control. I can see the atmosphere. That's called self-control. I'm getting the fuck out.

I need to get the fuck out of here. I know how I'm going to be. Self-awareness. Yeah. Self-awareness. But, like, back to your point. sometimes guys just need to hear it. It is possible.

I still feel like, no matter what. Who was talking about that shit a couple weeks ago? You got to take the chance. You got to find a way to make yourself rich. Right, bro. That's the bigger message. Ain't no blueprint. Ain't no blueprint.

I came from the bottom like zero. It started with zero. Nothing in my, zero, niggas. How long did it take you to realize that I got to do it? That's the first part. When my mama yelled at me? I was for an ass for a 20. And 19, nigga.

But see, do you understand how you got that moment? Then he got his moment. And then I had my moment. Right. Where it all made sense. And before there was any saving or investing, you have to have that moment. You have that moment.

That you decide that you want more from your life. Br, come on somebody. Financially, it's a real talk. You got to have it with yourself. It's like you're in the room thinking. You can't have that break. through until you get disgusting with your whole life.

Because you fed up, bro. It's a disappointment. Once you realize, because I feel like a lot of men got to realize this, the moment you realize nobody coming to save you is when all this shit changed for you. Because it's like no matter what, you still got this weird fucking sensation in your eye. Because I remember being poor and I always think. You got potential. I used to think a nigga gonna come save me.

Like, boy, I might be, you know how Tyrese was singing in the train? The nigga said, boy, I like the way you sing. Like, a nigga really think that moment going to come, or I'm going to scratch this ticket off, and I'm going to hit the lottery. So instead of me hustling trying to, God damn, so once I feel like this,

once a nigga realize that he's not lucky is when he's going to make it. Because a nigga really thinking, because once a nigga realized, like, I'm not fend to get lucky is when you start working on himself, and then he get lucky. I got to take that.

Work. I got to take that. No, that real shit. I got to take that way. That's real shit. Bro, like, that's what it took for me. When I felt like, bruh, everybody going to get their chance and sell me,

so I might as well take the loan route. That's how I felt. I felt like, man, a nigga can hit the lottery. Nick go to the NFL. He's selling full. He can dunk. I can't, I ain't got none of that shit.

So I got to do my birthday. I got to go figure this shit out. Once the nigga got that mindset, it starts there. It's like, man, I ain't going to the NFL. I ain't going here. I ain't going there. I ain't going there.

I ain't going to college. I'm on my own. But you know, the difference between us and them and them was we didn't allow it to be an excuse for the reason why we was where we was at. It was like, oh, man, we grew up to be better and be like, man, no nigga did it, man. I'm better than them, nigga, why it ain't happened for me.

The world owe me some. You can feel like that. You can feel like that. You got to do it, don't. Go pop your shit. Do it. Show them why they owe you. You got to do it.

You got to show him. Man, I was a man in high school. He was a lame. You just got to be better than the niggas that you ain't on. I have my bitch than him in high school. That's crazy. As long as you talk to your shit and you actually do something.

But when you just talking shit and you don't have nothing to show for it like. Yeah. I wish some of the niggas who was in the comments talking shit had a show. Just so I can watch it

and I can not like your shit as much as you don't like mine. But you don't even get me shit that ain't on. They don't even need a show. They got ugly pictures. They real life is horrible. I'd be wanting y'all to come out

with y'all's show. I can't wait to see the first episode and hate the fuck out of it. What? What is y'all talking about? This shit trash. This shit garbage. This fuck.

Hey, hey, man, ain't nobody sitting here. Ain't nobody sitting here. You don't get out to your money. None of my watch you this shit. This shit counts. Make sure you all subscribe.

Ain't anybody fucking subscribing. Dumb down. Hey, 136, I ain't like that niggins shirt. I want to hate on your shit like you be hating on mine, but you won't even get off your ass and do yours.

So I ain't got that hate on a hate on. Come on, man. Let me, I need a fucking show that I hate to watch every. week. We don't know what's not to be. Wait! You want no something crazy?

We don't know. We don't need to show the show like this. Hey, Lo. You see this shit? Don't ever put it. We don't need no shit like this. Man, I'm so glad our shit don't look like this. I'm glad our shit don't look like that.

But they won't even do it so we can hate back. Come on, John. Social media gave the insecure and have-nots a platform to be negative and insecure. They need it. It's a good outlet for me. Yeah, it is. Like, to be able to, like, especially if he feel like, you are up nigger or you were up nigger and I got the chance to get your attention by saying

something negative. Right. Which I, like, back in the day, I could never be heard by you. Like, I could just listen to your TV. You're going to never be heard. I could see you on TV. That's why I miss being a kid. You remember when you was a kid and you ain't like somebody?

You could just punch them and run in the house or something shit. You could just punch them and push them off their bike. Well, that's what that's what that's what you got. If you don't know if you got their new mungles. We used to do shit like that. Nine o'clock. You know, he bitch that got going out early. He put it up on the side.

They got a dog. Fuck that dog. No. No, no. You see your shit going out of here. One dick on the head. Go, foo, go. Man, this dude, he used to fuck with everybody, but I got my revenge.

What did you do, Gag? Yeah, so great. It's probably one of the greatest. What happened, bro? Oh, man. This nigger was trying to steal my football. That's what it was. Nigger trying to steal my football.

I had the broom. He jumped on his bike and was trying to pedal off real fan. You smacked him. Front tie, he's like, who. No. Got it. Got it.

You pulled the old school. Got it. He's talking about old school. You put the motherfuckin' in their tie? Front tie. Yeah. Oh, you're playing that one. You were like, come on, you son fit.

Man, you just, man, you just, man, you just. Man, you just, when that broom got caught up in that spoke. He killed, he flicked. He flicked. He flicked. That nigg was like, No. Grand.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't never steal my football and my daddy bought me, nigga. Fuck wrong with you. Damn. Yeah, diabolical shit. Yeah, you ain't bullshit. Revenge is the best feeling.

I ain't gonna count. Revenge. She feels good, don't? It's the sweetest joy next to get in those. But like you said, when you get older, you start to realize success. No, I know what the fuck that is. For sure, for sure.

Toot. But my thing is, when you get older, like you said, you'll start to realize that success be the best revenge. Yeah, yeah, because I'll hustle niggas. See, once you realize it's not a complete, see, my hood taught. Because you, you children do what they see. Right. So I was like, damn, you only going to fit in if you're able to get some motion.

They can't tell you, like, move or get the fuck all. Once you created your own motion, you're now a part of this picture. Right. So now once you created emotion, it's like, oh, it's competing like a motherfucker. A nigger don't want your picture to get bigger than his picture. But once you do it, you are creating your own lane. Now you're your own boss. And niggas, that comes with respect that a nigger can't do nothing but give you.

You know what makes me feel good? The best part about the marathon to me is seeing all the motherfuckers. who thought it was a sprint. They ran fast. Boy, you were running your ass off. Yo, I'm talking about fad. But how you had to keep running? Something I learned, though, it's like, niggas,

it's a whole different ballgame against some revenge on the nigger with some physical shit. When you boss up and get some money and a nigger realized that, like, he can't outwork you. He'll never be able to out-earn you. And he know y'all had differences

or he challenged you or whatever, right? Right. Man, that shit hurt his soul. I learned that success curse a nigga soul way more than a fight could ever do. Listen, man, a lot of people, I want to make sure your word do right.

Say it. Talk your shit. The paradigm of success in the hood is whoever got the most, whoever they perceive have the most. If you write up there or in there in the same, Now you're doing good because you're like, okay, if he got 10 pounds but I'm able to work with, five, I'm good.

He like drug references. Yeah, I like drug references. Yeah, I'm like, I'm good. You may laugh at the nigger who maybe got an ounce, but you don't see his game playing. He's saving, working on. You don't know what going on. You don't know who's fucking with him or nothing. Then you look up, he got a pound. He got two pounds. He got two pounds. But he ain't come through y'all.

He just stayed down. But in your head, you're like, how to have that nigga do that from an out? This town, person. Mm. You, you're the nigga who said that. Huh? You a nigga who did that.

Dude. I was the nigga that had the out. And once it went past everybody, and then we're like, down, how the hell you do that? When they envy. And the whole time you was a fucking comedian. You see what I'm saying?

You'd be doing shit. Just to be doing shit. Funny hell. You was in the way. That nigga who was getting one pound could have been getting two, but he got a licking like you over there bullshit. Knowing you funny and can sing, and you're trying to sell weed, Nick, get out the dope game.

I ain't had no money. I ain't had no job. Was they mad when you so paid? I need this dope gang. They nobody hired a nigga game. I try to go to go around. Your biggest rival selling dope is still selling dope. Y'all wasn't real competition?

Hey, let me ask you all this. How y'all felt about the Kat Williams? interview being comedians. What'd you mean how we felt the better? They're like, oh no. That OG, he just talked in mind. No, that's how I felt too. You know what's crazy though?

Mike Epp said something that I felt was dope. He said it on us, Shannon Sharp. He was like a cat. He said two things on there that I really fuck with. He was like, and I see y'all do work with Mike Epps. He was saying Kat was the young dude who got shitted on by the old dudes and it made, you know, whenever that happens,

Some people take it personal. Now, it do, it do hurt. It ain't that, because you got to also understand. The community is still a community, bro. When you are old head in the community and you got young niggas in the community, them young niggas look up to the old heads, them young y'nigals be one love, bro.

They be on, you feel me, like, support. Ain't on daddy figure, bro. How I am is an accumulator of all the niggas I don't watch. And unseen. You see what I'm saying? And I got a good spirit, because my dad had a good spirit, but me being a man,

the guy outside of them street. I know it's for shit. I'm a do that my dad wouldn't do. My daddy would be like, man, leave him alone. I'm like, pa. Hell no, I'm going to smack his ass for you. You feel what I'm saying? But that's what I learned from when I was outside. But when I realized, oh, that shit don't really be mean in them, bro. It don't really be no love, bro. It's every man for himself, bro. You got to figure that shit out, bro. Ain't know that nigga who you shone that you fuck with. He don't get a fuck that you just went and did that shit for him. Right. You're just playing the part of what's going on around here.

He's really not showing you nothing. He's not no big homie. He's just older than you. I think it's because I have to do it on comedy for 20 years. I see it different. In the hook. You show me shit. But I fought with the message Mike L.

was trying to say. He was saying like, some people take it personal. Yeah, yeah. Like he was like... It ain't personal. That's what I'm saying. You don't feel like that's what I'm saying?

You know, I feel like that's what I took it personal that like some of the older guy shit it on him? No, it ain't that. He might have taken it personal. But it ain't, it ain't smoked. Right. I get that. It was a candid moment that you don't really get to here.

You don't know how the people that you work with what they really think about you. Okay. And you get what I'm saying? Yeah. It happened to me so I know how to go. Run up on you when I see you, niggins. It's just what, hey, this is my experience, niggie. You don't know when you made me feel like this because you don't fuck with me.

Okay. I'll be on tour myself. I don't never run into these niggas. These are the niggins, I remember. Then when you ask me about, I'm going to say, yeah. Yeah. This is what I think. Mm-hmm.

I'll fuck them. What's gonna happen? It's not nothing to get mad about, that's just... You usually don't get to hear what people think about you. And everybody knows, what other people think about you ain't your fucking business anyway. For sure, for sure. And the real moments that you do get to hear it, don't be surprised or act like they caught you off of God. So think about...

He didn't say nothing in that shit that I hadn't heard doing comedy all these years. Right. So think about a lot there, right? If you do take it personal, I'll take it back to the street. Safeo, the relationship in personal. Sayfold, you made it seem like I am

your little homie and you fuck with me. Now, we're rising together. We're supposed to be a team, but then I'm going to see you fuck with somebody else harder than you fuck with me. And they don't show you the love. Like, I show you the love, now that's personal.

Because you're stunning me because you see my potential. But you're trying to show them you a whole other nigga for so how they view you instead of growing because we got some shit going on

we can grow you're like nah I'm gonna just keep you right here I'm gonna go fuck with these nigga because if they go tell them other nigga that they fuck with me

and they're like god down like they eat this is the real shit so I'm gonna take it personal I looked at it like this on the personal shit

now when I'm gonna come a bit dog don't get mad at me who gave you that all the people that he said something about would you say

this is accurate says you know Katto. You ain't put it to me to. All the people that he, he strategically said what he said about, who he said it about. Because if he really didn't fuck with you, he wouldn't even say your name. That means he really loved you at one point. That's what I'm getting. That's facts.

You feel me? He's like, damn, I love you. And then you just, you feel me? This is what made us fall out. Because that go back to what I would say. If you saw me and I ain't give you the love that you thought it was. This was the reason behind it. Now, now I was your little homie.

Now I realized how to get some motion. but I'm growing, you're mad I'm growing. Right. You thought I was going to stay a little homie, but I'm just still going to treat you like big homer, but why I can't grow? God damn, game. You know what I've got to grow.

I can't stay a little. But see, Mike Yelts was like, everybody went through it. I'm pretty sure y'all went through it where some of the older people shitting on y'all. And then... So in my game, it's felt like,

to them, they feel like I got fronied. What you mean? So I'm going to take it back the drug, really? Like he had it to easy around. I had it the easy route. So I come into the grout game, nigga, be like, man, you ain't nobody, man.

You mean your fault pads and left you a hundred pound, nigga. But I'm like, shit, you got to think about the game. Yeah, I've been around drug, but I ain't never had to be a drug dealer. So don't get mad at my life. Now let me figure this shit out. And not knowing that, you know what?

You take something of this shit that I can get. And now they're like, oh, little homie took the route. I wish me and figured this shit out. And fuck the whole game, man. You got to keep your eyes on your own motherfucking paper. The teacher tell you that. in first grade, hey, keep your eyes

on your own paper. That's life. But what you'll learn, going through those experiences is don't know man owe me shit and I can't expect another, I can't ride the coattails of another man and expect me to rise

off what another man do. I got to create my own lane. That's some of the biggest lessons I even learn from going through shit like that. That's the first lesson I learned is I cannot come up off another nigger. Everybody got to do. different life. But when you stay in the hood, you feel like everybody got the same life.

Right. Yeah, for sure. That's why they feel like if you go, I got to go. Even if you look at it in different aspects of life, right? You remember when you got your first car? You know how much shit? You decided to take care of a nigga. That shit became your hustle. You were going to get your first piece of pussy. You put a lot of responsibility on that shit, right? Like, you made sure that, hey, this bitch is going to be clean. It ain't got to be no but I keep them whole clean. Right. But then some motherfuckers on,

they first caught, the only thing they thought to do was pick some motherfuckers up and ride. Ain't got nowhere to go. That's all. Nobody playing shit past that. Man, we said, right. Where we're going?

I don't know. Get in the car. Man, right. Hey, he also said something about the Monique situation. He was like, and let me know what y'all thinking about this. He said,

it was Mike Epps. He said, But sometimes a person, like, let's say we're sitting at a table, a person just nudging you, right? And they're fucking with you. But you get on saying, like, nobody else can see it. You feel it coming, and then you say something out loud and they play victim. And he said he felt like that happens. Yeah, exactly.

He said that happens a lot. Like, how y'all feel about that statement? All kind of shit happened in this company were. No, it was in a Shannon Sharp, Mike Epps interview. I just watched him when I was cutting my hair before I got here. What were he in point? He was basically saying like, Monique will get fucked with behind the scenes by big players and they'll be fucking weird like, you know, we at the table, I'm nudging you or I'm

doing some fuck shit behind the scenes, but in public I'm pretending like I didn't do the shit to you. That's life. Yeah. Why everybody can't be your friend. You got to learn how to win to cut access off and understand what type of relationship you got to have with certain people. You got to understand that.

That's a being in a relationship. That's this relationship. That's this. I can't let them know how I am over here when I'm in this environment because I don't know what type of mood they're going to be playing. You never got to be precautioned like that with everything you do. You can't let everybody know what type of you. You're going to show up, they're like playing poker.

You're going to show a nigga who you really is up for. I don't know you, niggas. Oh, I see you on wild now then. But that's with my partners who I love, man. I don't know you. Who are you? State where you from. Let me feel Bill.

And then we break barriers down from with trust. I got to know you if I'm like, but I don't know your ass for you to see everything. What? You can't do all that with everybody. Because then now you leave no room for them to play with you. They don't know how to come at you. Because you're going to see it.

You're going to be like, hold up. I don't know what that is. So let me maneuver and go this way. Because if you let your whole guard down, oh, boy, they own. Because everybody ain't streaked. Everybody ain't got the aggression and the shot at the heat. Like you say, fuck with your physical.

Yeah, you got to keep in mind, too, where I feel like black entertainment be, I feel like it's separated. I segregated so much, but separated. What you mean about that? Because our circle is so small. Yeah. Everybody get the same opportunities, especially on, like I said, on this side of it. You get what I mean? It's like, nigger, anybody meet.

They'll call every comedian in the country to come for this next project. He's the same three people that put the same 31 black people. people in the whole movie industry that you're going to see on in the move you get what I'm saying we all gonna get we get the same opportunity so a lot of the lot of the times people be thinking sometimes it's some shit but it don't be right it just don't be your turn for that opportunity they had a specific motherfucker that they wanted and them folks played with you and that shit started to bother everybody because everybody then went up for 30 auditions everybody everybody And they gave them the seven people, the same eight motherfully.

Like, so then they get this, like, even though everybody's good and making money, it's still a sense of desperation. Like, well, God damn, is it favoritism? Everybody went through there. I definitely went there. You get what I'm saying? Some people. Some people.

That you didn't get, like, a roll or something. Yeah, yeah, you're like, what the fuck. But he knows this shit, too, would come to the getting these roads. Some people got to send a tape, fly across the country, audition in person, do a table. And still gotta wait if they see if they're gonna get in this motherfucker. Some motherfuckers got a call. Hey. Can you do this?

Hurry up, because it's the last day. We didn't have had something in an audition, but I need you to do it now. The same job now. For sure, for sure. But they're gonna treat who they wanted different than the people who wanted it. And they already got who they wanted it anyway. They just got to go through the process to make it seem like they had to do their due diligence. Right.

You know what I'm saying? And when you're saying when they go to that whole public fallout shit, it don't matter if me and Aristotle fallout. That don't mean you get to go tell D.C. Don't make no money with me because me and you fell out, though. And a lot of that shit happened because these the same motherfuckers. You get what I'm saying? We all auditioning for the same shit. So if it ain't but 15 or 20 major motherfuckers who could make that call to say put them in there.

just because you you good on this side but if they call this side man he'll fuck a nigga don't do that why they come from you see what I'm saying a lot of that shit ain't like oh nigga I just never liked you and they used that

one opportunity they had to shit on you ran with it ain't got nothing it ain't no way you could avoid it or change it just you feel like in the black entertainment world

you can easily get black ball by rubbing somebody the wrong way pretty much when it comes to The rapping, anything to do with black people. You might not even know you did it. They make you pick one. You like, damn, why not do that?

Who the best one? We don't get to have 30 of the best. We don't get a legend. We don't get a rolling stone. We don't get a list. We don't get a rock star. Who y'all favorite? One.

Who y'all favorite rapper? One. Who your favorite singer? One. Who y'all favorite actress? One. Who y'all fucking with this year? You don't get one, nigg.

Favorite comedian? One. All right. Okay. You get one. You get one. You get one. All right.

We subset, Raris. It's fucked up. Every other group of people, they get to have 30 motherfucking one. At one time. That's why you got to be number one on whatever level you're at. We're number one on whatever level, I guess they say we're at. It's number one show for the ghetto. It's number one guy.

We went number one on their name platform. We said we're number one. We can't tell you how you're a lot longer. We can't tell you all that, but we don't want to tell you how many people watch. We don't want to tell you. But a lot of people watch. But you're number one, though, guy. You're number one.

But over here, you ain't number one. You're number one. Yeah. We got some people who are our number one. We got some other number one that we want over here. And you know what crazy? I think that's the point I got to with my brand and everything is like my goal is to, because I don't want to make it about the fame aspect.

I was like, I got to make it about the monetary aspect and the impact aspect. Because if I make it about that, I'll already. I already know my personality gonna roll a nigger the wrong way. What you mean? Meaning like, I'm not, you gotta think, if you already have enough money, so I'm not going for the whole, you know, too much of that little boy shit, if that makes sense.

Oh, for sure, for sure. So it's like, nigger, I got a mansion in Puerto Rico, a mansion in Atlanta, Ferrari, cyber truck. You're not gonna talk to me any kind of way. Or make me feel like I'm, I'm a little man or I'm stupid or any of that. But that's like you was asking me about that amount. Once you get to that amount, no, none of that shit doesn't even matter.

Thank you. That's the whole point. I don't have to. Okay, this is what this is? I'm not about to engage. That's me. You get what I'm saying? Right.

That's how it's supposed to be. So I've reached the amount of money to where I'm on some shit like, I ain't about to deal with all that shit. You don't have to. You can't get sued. A nigga will take an ad with me for some money. Thank you. He was like, man, hey, y'all let that niggie shlaught me, boy, that shit was a million.

So that's what I'm saying. So that's his whole plan to get back on. All he needs is a 50 and he's backing the game. He's back in the shit. He'd expect that shit after two years. I'm back, baby. I'm on his ass, boy, I can't wait on my, I know he's going to still like a court. This is a million other things right here.

Million other feet. Ah, real nigger shit. So is it like, and then you'll realize that too. Man, what? A nigger, try to trick you out of your spot. You know how this shit go? Have y'all ever been tried to, have y'all ever been like tried to a nigger try to trick you out of the spot? They always keep some bossy glove.

They can't, you can't, they ain't even no rid no loss. They're like, eh, one of them a little friendly bossy mat right now, man. They just hit you, you know what I said? You know what I said? They just hit you with the glove. They can't take a nigga cut for no glove. But see, OJ. People always trick you at your spot, man.

It's more subtle though. It ain't, yeah. We ain't in the streets like that. They do shit like. Like, they'll be on the show with you and they be like, hey, man, can I go ahead and go up, man? I got some way. Like, no, nigga, they paid you. You do it.

Right. And you try to get the free ride. Hey, hey, bro, you my, I got, I got it early. You, like it, no. So what is he trying to do by trying to go, trying to put you in the spot that they paid him to be in? This is so paid for it. When you see them shows, they'd be like, Bruce, bruising. D.C. Young Fly.

And call everybody paid to be there Because wherever they putting us that that's that much money we told them No, you're not gonna get them Call me at you should have called me first now you're trying to call me and say this shit and me like man Come on you think you know Then they didn't already they're already to spend the money on who they want to spend the money on me I'm not good at the part that I'm not good at the part I'm not good at the politics I know you

Who headlining? What you don't don't know? No, because no, because don't, don't, don't, I don't, I think I had like I had like I was the only nigga on the show. Man. I get that way, everybody, nitch. I say, hey. 20 motherfuckers, man.

You motherfucker, okay, now I need to know how to talk. Who on this show? Who you thinking about? Am I the ticket drawer or do I got help? Yeah, I'm thinking about getting this. Let me know who you think. If you're thinking about, let me know if you're getting them on. But y'all have a feel at navigating humans.

I'm not good at navigating drama in humans and the back and forth without spazing. Like I would have been their spaz on, bro. That's my personality. See, negotiation is fun. Especially when you catch them. I ain't good at that. I'm more of a- I got to, I like where I want them.

Not a negotiation working your favor. I do got to work on that. You can't be doing business when your feelings. You got to more money for that, man. You got no money for that. It ain't, I'm not going to spare. It's like, I don't, I can't. Basically, when you try to sum it up, it's like,

I'm gonna say fuck the nigger. These rules apply everywhere. For sure, but at a certain point, when you got enough to lose and your wrists go up, what's the point you can't fix a stupid person? No. Sometimes all this shit just be a test to see, oh, that's all it took for you to fuck up all that money.

Then you were getting $500 a month. Why are you punched that nigg? True. and now you ain't going to get shit because you can't handle it. You'll never get back to 500. You can't handle it. That's your breaking point.

A million dollar face, man. Because I told you, that's a million dollars face. Sometimes they will give you exactly what you want. I ain't fin a hit no, nigga. Hell no. No, I'm not talking about that part. I am. Fuck that.

Give me the glove. No, sir. I ain't got no damn money. You'll get exactly what you want just to see if you're prepared to keep it, man. That's true. You got to know how to protect yourself. from all situations, whether that be financial, niggas,

bitches, everything. So for sure. You gotta protect your whole spirit. For sure, for sure. Because that shit can come from anywhere. For sure. That's fact. I see it all the time like, well, guys,

it ain't never the motherfuckers that you don't know. You always know who the fuck. And it hurt so bad because like you said, those barriers that we've already done dropped for our loved ones, once they crossed line and cut us. Like you said, if you already been cut, don't bleed on me. I already got shirt with blood on.

You understand? So it's already a trauma. I just healed up. I just got a new shirt. You understand? So I ain't got time for these to be fucking up my shirt. Right. So that's why I walk like I just got it out of drag on. Y'all can teach a course on that, how to navigate the

damn industry and how to negotiate and how they got to. They take it personal. It ain't going to work for it. Everybody got to take their own approach. Because like I said, it Depends on what your spot is in the industry, niggins. It's the WWL. So you should like the four-day laws of power apply to it. Some people are the hill.

They're going to make a good. Some people are going to get the good shit automatically because they like them. They sex it and like everybody want to fuck them and they're just going to have a good old time. But they're going to have to deal with that shit. Some motherfuckers are going to be right there in the middle. They ain't going to get on everything. But you're going to see them. They're working.

All the shit you like is just. Hey, now they got to, now they, they really working in this shit. Then some motherfuckers, some motherfuckers, you're going to be like, why are you here? I don't see it. And that's a lot of them. I don't even know how you. It's a lot of them. You got over here because you know them.

And you got over here because you suck. Well, we ain't going to be on that point. At this point, they got their own line. They got their own line. They got their own line. And then once you realize why you ain't over them. You'll start to appreciate your spot. Appreciate your spot.

Once you see what you bring it to the table, you'll be like, oh, you're gonna... You fuck for it. You will fuck for it. They really, you, y'all switch spot. Yeah. So do you feel like... That's what they've been doing. They've been switched the spot. That's why they're in the most...

So do you feel like women would get offended by what y'all? Do y'all feel like most... No, because women know. They've been in the industry. So you feel like women sometimes do have to have sex to get to certain positions. Some of them. But they say they have to be in the industry. I don't know, I want to use the word.

Have to. Yeah. They don't have to. They don't have to do it. Damn. Yeah, of course. It's the illusion of what they think they have to do in order to be successful. Right.

Now, I have seen the ones who put their self in the line. Mm-hmm. And they didn't know that it was fucking at the end of that line. Then they found out this is the fucking line. And they got out of that. You're going to stay right there because you didn't fuck. And we saw what happened with the ones who did fuck me in this line now. They don't fuck, they weigh all the way on this side.

You staying right here. This is all they want you for. You're good. They're going to call you every now and then. I'm a Christian. I ain't trying to fuck. But I want the biggest spot here. She got the game for does what y'all saying?

No. No. Because one thing about it was for her is going to be for her. Okay. She's talented. See, you're not playing. You're playing with your destiny and then you're playing with industry that's controlled by others. You didn't want to.

to wait in the talent line, so you thought it was going to be easier to go over here in this line. You could have used your talent to get this same spot, but you've been using this line so much. You don't even know what's in this line. You forgot about your talent. You put yourself in this line. You could have easily used your talent, but you skipped that.

You saw this line was moving faster. But you didn't even know what was in that motherfucker. Now, when they said, they ain't even no hard feelings when they don't. They just be like, okay, that's fine, but could you step out the line, please, so we can get to the round. Because there's other motherfuckers behind the line. You ain't got to leave,

but just can you step out the line. Because they really want you to stay in the lobby to make your mind look. Oh, you got time to change your mind. You can go to the end of the line, but we can't let you jump back in line. Now you've got to go all the way back to the end. And guess what?

Since you was back there, it's the more motherfuckers in that line now. The line got longer. The line got longer. It's a game. So by the next time you get to the front, you don't know if they, you don't even know what you're trying to, what you were choosing the line for. You don't forget. Oh, shit, you finally back up here.

We don't even do that no more. You got to get back in line. And now they got a real way to finish you. They're over there finish in your knocker. Now they see you ain't got your mind maybe. Oh, yeah. I'm telling you. Put her in the slow life.

Go respect your spot. Yeah. You realize, don't call me for that party. I see why I wanted that that part. But you got to go in there to know that. That's the jugglers. That's the comedian. Oh, that's what I was in line for?

Oh, that's what they picked? So what time did y'all, like, leave the ditty parties? We didn't never go. I ain't never go no damn ditty party. We ain't never got invited to no ditty party. Never. I wouldn't win anyway. All that are dancing?

Fuck, no. That was a lot of dancers. Tarifie's been doing some good party, though. Mm-hmm. There ain't no freak shit, these. Yanni, I'm gonna be fucked up. Everybody be doing free shit. Now, everybody will be doing no damn free shit.

They everybody don't. Sometimes it be real, real life gatherings. That's the type of shit we go to. And I'll be right there in the back talking shit, just like this. I hate when the normal thing like it's unnormal now. You can't even say it, man. You was with a group of niggas and a group of holes and everybody was chilling. That's normal.

Hey, man. I enjoy my experiences with the entertainment industry. Luckily, I ain't had to do no crazy shit to prove a point or... So men got to do that stuff, too? What? Niggas get tried, too. For real? Hold up.

Let's clip something up. What? Them niggins who be doing that shit, they want to do it. Yeah. Don't be trying to act. Ain't they're all right. They already got a curiosity to too. Ain't nobody trick them.
