You make time. I can make time. You can roll the small and blunt pocket roll. That's all I need loss. I don't need that much to smoke. I just need a little bit of those. Need that much to smoke. You be rolling up three five.

I be rolling up three five. I be rolling up a grand. You be rolling up a three-five. I'd be like, ooh, god damn. I be on that guy. Yeah, man. I don't expect my time smoking minis and cigarettes and cigarillos and little bitty ones and all that shit. I can't live.

I don't ever want to go back to that. That reminds me of extreme poverty. I was living in extreme poverty at that point. I was smoking apartment complex weed. Whatever I can find. It's different. It's different. See, you smoke a D.

You could afford nothing. Gas station weed. I was smoking these because you didn't do too much. I hope I never get to that point of my life where I think I've smoked. Got to live a lot. I don't ever want to smoke too much weed. I want to keep a smoke on. I know my talent.

But me doing other shit when I were coming up, bro, fucked up my tolerance. I used to smoke. How about I smoked? I never saw myself smoking like that. I used to roll ex-ex-I come from Extendo. Yeah, me too. But see, y'all were like the originators of that shit. We were the young niggas of Extendos where these niggins

they don't need roll extensions. They don't even know how that came about that. You didn't know how that came about? No. Niggas starts putting two cigarillos together. I mean, I know, but I'm saying why did niggas want this roll-like? Where did a long-a-blunt come from? I think two chains popularized it for real, for real.

That was the thing, though. It should be like four, five niggas with their own, long-ass-blunk. I used to smoke them by myself. Yeah. To the face. To the face. To the face. With the hose.

To the face. No holes. I had to the hose. I'm just a young thing on the block. I'm smoking that bit by myself. No, I had made some money by the time this. Then they all came around. See, I was getting some money, but I was still do-lawing.

Like, it was to the point. You know how when you, you run and you wake up and you bust a cup of corner, you know you're fin to get you. you a session in by yourself, like your session. And my session required and extend those. That's not how I know where I was at in life, though. I was buying about an ounce of weed that time. If you buying that, then that means you smoke it. Yeah, I was doing the American.

You smoking, you smoke it. Anytime I can buy an ounce or any time period in life. You smoke, you smoke. You smoke and smokers. Anytime you get a half above a cell, congratulations. I've been out of the state. Yeah, you've been out, you've been out to just smoking. Day for day tight shit.

Yeah. Yeah. If you still grammy... I do not miss them days, man. Them damn days. The dime days. Them damn day rough. Them gram days.

When you start getting the three-five, you're like, you know what? That little ball. That little ball of three-five, you're like, boy, got me a goddamn three-five. Boy, that's... I got enough to smoke. Tight night. I got a little smoke up, boy. I ain't got to see the trap man.

Oh, dick. A-knack, nick. One-stop shock. Now you're getting a seven? Getting that big. Your job paying you good, huh? Got a bonus. You got a quarter.

You got a quarter. That's a Friday night shit. You get a half an ounce. You and somebody else might have put in. Half an out? That means you don't, it's two niggas that need a quarter. So you really get another seven for a nothing.

You feel me? That's your real partner. That's your real partner. That's your real partner. That's your real partner. That's your real part because he trusts you with the money. Now you're getting it from your dude. Right.

Oh, you're wilder. At that point, you're wilder. But at that point, see, y'all understand that, but grapes start being bad. They start fucking up. Before everybody stopped smoking flavor shit. I got on the great one, great were bad. You smoke a great sweet, but y'all ass. You liable to smoke some crack.

Thugging. You tripping. Flavors had fell on. You tried to smoke the flavor. to get rid of the meat taste. My favorite the shaked was always, even before the cigarette boomed, though. But you just couldn't find them nowhere. The Icy Mint Optimos.

A whole house stanking. One sack, though, real, or one sack, this little loud shit ain't got no house stinking. One sack of this guy, had a whole house thinking. I'm talking about this shit.

You're going to go crazy. You're going to burn yourself. Hey, they won't talk about it, but smoking weed make Taco Bell taste so good. You gonna shit like a motherfucker when that weed go down, boy. It do hit different though. When you have- When you have-Bill hit way different when you have. Especially if you, because this is before all the do-dash and shit, when you actually had to go up there and get it.

Get your own-home. And you might fuck around and catch them right when they then cook some fresh, hot shit. Taco Bell, real-a-Hood. It's hot all the way when you get home, your drink ice ain't even melted yet. If you think about the Taco Bell or Hood store, they ain't got them in the upper-ecelain neighborhood. He ain't gonna cat no Taco Bell up there and Drew it here now. I don't want no Taco Bell from Drew a Hill. It ain't gonna be the same.

First of all, I don't want no fast food and they got all white people working in there. Hell no, I know it ain't gonna hit the same. Unless it's a chick for late? Yeah, Chick-for-Lade. Or Zach? Yeah, I give Zach's a pass too. Zach's? Exactly's around here usually have like some black high schoolers working in there.

But if I go to McDonald's or some shit like that and the crew don't look, uh-uh. It gotta be young. It gotta be hood, too. I like them young, mom. You get a little nigg in there with some dreads who hat don't fit all the way. That's the best motherfucking ever working mad on the nigg who hat fit up like a bowser. Hey, what's so?

But I figured if you were a real nigga, y'all probably end up fucking with me. Yeah, we died too. I mean, I figured I'm right up the street. Y'all could at least come fucking with a nigga.

But in the country, it's just more shit to do. You can just get some pay. But these nicks up here don't even want to do, like, mind you like, say, if I stayed in Mississippi, right, I got over, just cut your grad, dude on my side, I can you grab. Like you said, somebody with a landscape,

came bill would have been like, well, I see you couldn't grab. Woo, woo, woo, woo, who up here. Well, that can't grab, just to be couldn't graded. Check this out. Them folks I asked you to cut their grad. The folks they said shit. But see, in Mississippi, you could do some shit like this.

You got some money coming in. Hell yeah, especially around football season. Man, you can go hit one yard about four good time, man.

Chop some wood. Especially if you know how to do the shit. Motherfucker, watch me cut their grand it to do. And then clothes the second door. And then clothes the second door. They didn't even come out there giving no water, no name. Shit, that's fucked up integrity. Because I was a real true hustler.

I had my own water jug and all that shit. I don't need no goddamn water. I need that $25 when talking about for a fart. I'm feeling like not this out of 10 minutes. See, like you... I ain't asked for the money. I just went and deed it. So I would try to be a good Samaritan thinking they were going to come with something.

See, then you got to worry about... Come up with a stupid-ass plan. That's what I did. But the crackheads are coming down. And nobody had that money do that. Undercut you on your little yard job. The crack ears in the neighborhood. I cut that yard for $5.

You stole my yard. You stole my yard. Now, you know, I've been doing this. They did the whole yaw for $5. $5.00. He ain't lying, boy. You ain't lying. Muffin' cut a whole yard.

You ever have one of them crackheads show up into a yard jump, and then he can pick up the trash and shit he thinks you're supposed to spit it with me. I got them. I got all that. I got all that. Nica say, look out for me. I ain't ask you to do that.

Look out for that. Growing up. That's a wild. I loved a lot for him of crackhead, though. Especially in the neighborhood. It's just like small of nuances. You just need that. Because they'll do shit that everybody else ain't going to do.

But you know they're going to do it for a fee. But at least you know they're going to try. You might not get the best results, Steve. I ain't going to lie. Sometimes they do crackhead shit. And they'll tell you, man, I ain't even going to. I don't know what I'm dope. I seen the crackhead get knocked out because he stole some cracks from a dope-double.

Damn. Nigger had knocked his ass out. He laid that about it. Probably a good 30, 40 minutes, knocked out. Just there. Waiting on that nigga to leave. So did that niggins flew it off. He ain't get that crack back, though.

I still got the dope. He laid out for 30 minute. Hell yeah. That's crazy. I remember the crack heads. They used to do this shit, right? The niggins down the street used to sell the crack. The motherfucker, you know, they pulled up.

Man, come on. I'm trying to get it. So the nigger pulled the dope out of his pocket. stick it in the car and open the hand. Yeah. Drive the fuck on. But the fuck the other part is our neighborhood is just like, you go, it's shaped like a P. Like you come in and then they just go around like this.

Oh, he comes back. You gotta come back. Oh. He got to hit a U-turn. Oh, man. He in the middle of the street waiting on. Oh, man. That's been so funny.

He in the man in the street. The Greg is in my neighborhood, you should steal the cars, though, and just drive all around in the little Pee. They used to jump like the dope boys to leave the keys in the car. They are jumping that motherfucker grab on. Oh, boy, they had heart. You jumping one of these niggins shit, but y'all ain't gonna get beat.

You're gonna get beat. But you only get no punt for being up a J. Cause it's a J. And some of them Jay is wrong. That's what I'm saying, these motherfuckers. Some on strong, though. We saw one on, you get one of the dope boys of business.

Yo, stop playing. She'll cause you do dope. That don't mean nothing. How do you come back from that? That don't mean that. I mean, you did? We had a Craig Aid in my neighborhood. He used to be a bodybuilders.

They used to be a bodybuilder, play football at everything. Did he get small? He spoke to all the muscles off. He definitely smoked to all the muscles off. But the strength is there, that a niggins. He was knocked motherfucker's ass out for that crack, man. For real. He.

Crack is a very strange drug. You ever seen the mutton they first hit the crack and they be doing that shit with their mouth like they tasted some shit real good? Like, niggie, what the fuck is you eating? That shit stink. That shit smell like boiled ed, like some dibby ed, bud. That shit stink. You ever thing where they just smoking? You know what you smell?

Yeah, that shit's stank. You ever thing where they're smoking, they'd be hallucinating this shit. That's some funny shit. No, we saw a nigga, we saw one time he hit that shit. We talk, we just having our own coming to say. We talk, we just hit some... Hey, eh, eh. We looked, that n' in the middle of the street.

We're like, man, fuck wrong with you, man. Man, it's a snake, man. It's a snake in the middle of the street. We were like, bro, ain't no goddamn snake, bro. You trippy, he, huh. He's coming down. Oh shit, man. I was gonna.

Man, that shit, that is something serious. That shit's serious, buddy. I remember the first time I saw a crackhead. That shit scared the fuck out of me. What happened? Because I was a kid and I didn't realize that this is a crack head. The nicked lips and shit was all burned up. His hands.

and shit was all burning up. I was like, damn. I was like, why his hands don't burn up? My dad was like holding that goddamn pipe. Man, that was crazy shit. For real? Yeah. We, see, my folk used to try to keep me away from that shit, but it was outside.

We lived in the project, though. It was outside. That's what I'm saying. It was like, it was outside. So it was hard for me to not see that shit. But where we went to church though, nigger, was way worse than where we stayed. Because where we stayed was a drug infested neighborhood. Yeah, that's cool.

It's crack and weed and shit. When we went to church was the Harron. This was the area when niggas was outside still. Niggas started coming outside around like 2015, 14, but that's the last little generation of being outside. We're talking about 98, 99 when niggas is outside. The crackheads is in the middle of the street. You got a honk the horn for these motherfuckers to get out the way. I said, bro, every time we went to church, bro, and we had to go through this shit,

I used to be like, there's no other route. The church is in the, it no matter where we go, how we get to this motherfucker. But we in Harron City. Oh, man. In my neighborhood, the crack house was right in the middle, so we saw all the action. It's just like everybody else in the neighborhood, just see what the fuck going on. See what's happening. We didn't see them.

Police come and do raids and everything and everybody's just standing on their porch. Like, God, damn. Seein that shit. That's shit real. Especially you see them raids, but that's shit real, but that shit real. When raids happen, it's real. I didn't think so many motherfuckers go to jail. You ain't got no dope for your neighborhood and you ain't having to raid in.

Ain't no dope. Anybody looking for nobody. Anybody looking for the bottom of that. Oh, high speed chase comes straight through the neighborhood. You just think a nigga fly to the neighborhood. You just think a nigga fly. He come on, v. He's like, man, what the four wrong on that nigga?

Woo, you're like, oh, these, things. Oh, high speed. That was the high speed. Niggins tried to figure out, that was the high speed. Oh, we were in the middle of a hot speed. I think a nigga come through in a box shab at one time. Like, when you first turned into the neighborhood, they ain't nothing grabber right now.

It looked like that neighbor that bitch on two wheels. Hitting that motherfuck, getting up out of that. Man, on their ass. Oh, man, we had a couple, like, like, police on foot, like police on foot, they got to run on foot.

foot on the block, like they got to run on this long street. And we standing there, well, we got to, we watch this shit. We ain't made no sudden move. So they're just running. And we're like, man, you ain't catching that boy. I see in a few times when a nigga got down on the four-wheeler. And they cut through behind the houses and shot back off in the woods. Oh, he's gone.

He gone. Yeah, it was over. They hate that one. They hate it when they can't catch it. When the nigg get in between, that one thing by being in the neighborhood, if you know your neighborhood, you can hit them Backstreet, get behind them, Fort Hauk. Oh, man, it's up. It's crap.

I said they beat him on a motorcycle. He was so far ahead and he came, put the motorcycle up, and just went in the house. Oh, he's on a high boost. Gone. He ain't seeing him. Laying that motherfucker down, boy. One thing about it, once they know the color of that motherfucker, you might wear it. Yeah.

You put that bitch up. Don't even bring that bitch out. Chay ain't the color. This is the thing about it. We live in a small town. They already knew exactly who it was. That one of what I'm saying. They know it's Tyrone.

They just didn't know what house he went to. What's how Tyrone win there? I'm not, nobody here knows. Right. Who is that? We're not about to help you. He didn't got to go grocery shop. We're gonna kill them in church.

I said the police come in somebody house and tell up everything. Didn't get nothing. Didn't get shit. Broke everything in the house, though. Yeah. It's out of spite. That'd be sad, bro.

That should be supposed to be done to help the community, not antagonize the community. Like, come on, bro. Don't get me wrong. We got some motherfuckers that... Hey, we got some weird motherfuckers. I ain't talking about the weird motherfuckers. I'm talking about civilians and motherfuckers.

Out here trying to get some money. Other than that, leave a little fucking. I don't secure the block. That's what you're supposed to do. Secure the block. Now, I support the police when they fucking were criminal. Right, that's why I said. The weird motherfucker.

When you were out here, y'all fucking, like regular, everyday people. People just tried to get, they don't deserve the pressure that criminals do. No, they ain't no criminal. I believe in police brutality when it's done to criminals. It's weird, mon'paw? Like, I feel like if you, if you don't shut up a bunch of people and shit, you should definitely get all the police brutality. For sure.

Like when they come in to arrest you, they should whoop your ass. Right. And like when that boy shot them folks up at their charston. He deserved all the police. You're going to get your ass whoop. Not the burger king. You took the nigger the burger king. That's when they're supposed to put that.

You know how a nigga's like, I say the world. I don't know about all that all over there. I need to start my community first.

And once you see the programs work, we can just expand the programs because that's what it is. So you'd rather run a district. I want to be the governor. That's what I'm saying. I need you to be the governor so I can control my district. I know. I need you to be the government so I can control my district.

Your district could be fine. You should be the mayor, though. You would be a good mayor of Atlanta. That's a lot. That's a lot. That's why we need to let me run the district. First. And let me figure out the programs.

That's a lot of pressure. Let me go over here, while I can sit here and talk to the nigger with it. I take the tie off and be like, well, I know your mama, man. Stop that shit. What? Can't talk like that when on the mail? I can talk like that when I'm in a dish. You can talk like that when you're the man. But it's too much pressure.

No, it ain't. But I need to be the district. That isn't really tripping. It's going to keep you in the office. realness. Right. They might get me a problem. You know why people vote for you?

Why? Because you're not a politician. Right. I just know the rules of what the politicians do. Yeah, I want to be the governor so I can have some authority. I want to be able to be like, stop the execution. Free that man. You know the government?

Hey, man, you would have loved the early, early 2000 for real.

Me? Yeah. I was too turn. I was too turn. I'll tell you that I was two turns. That type of shit didn't exist yet. No what I'm saying? Like, I was too turn.

I would pull the bed with the arts and what people cared about art. You were like, man, you're going to go. All I had to do was do one thing. You're going to go. I had to fight. I'm gonna get fucked by they telling that shit. This the worst part about being from the pre-Internet generation. Now all the shit that we said that we saw that didn't have the luxury of making it on YouTube,

y'all think we lying. They don't understand it. Now, you know, those shit we've seen in our life that sound like a lie now? Freak need sound like a lie. You kid don't know anything about this shit. Y'all were there. Y'all was dead. I heard about it.

I called the ad end. I always called the ad end of shit. That's my generation. You're going to get to, your people were either on it that was doing it. So you heard it and you saw the lad a little bit. Because we grew in the 90s in the early 2000. It was a transition. That was a mean transition.

Them kids being born. We got the yin-yang twin. It's a whole lot of shit going on. between 97 and 2008. 97 and 2008. That damn that two different. This is what you don't understand. You said the Ying Yang Twins.

The crazy part is your generation actually got the resurgence of the Yang-Tuins. We remember when they first came out and they weren't well-received. It was like parody shit. They used to play Ying-Yang Twins like right up in that way.

It was right up in that space. Well, that's that my baby daddy. You remember that shit? So the yin-yang twins, that's actually after the resurgence. Like, when they got with Lil'John, that's what they had a whole career before that kind of. That's why it was dope to see them come back with Lil'Jun. Right. Because it's like, they was kind of like a cult classic for a little minute.

It was kind of shit. Y'all only knew about it. Like, yeah. Right, right, right. You'll go to a point. Oh, this shit, crap. So basically you said we weren't even voted to care of the union twin. If they would have never came back with a little John, we would have never knew.

They're like some Kilo Ali. You don't know about Kilo Ali because. Kind of. You know by Kilo like because I'm from the city. Right. Right, right, right. Right. So what would they sound that was in the mix of that?

Let me hear. I ain't know that was a union y' twin. Whistle, why you twerk. Oh, that were popping. But see, that's. I'm coming out like in the cult music. What I'm saying, that's on the front side of their career. Whistle why you twirte.

Well shit, that's that bit popped off then. It's the point they got with LaJun, though. So Whistle Why You twerk one with LaJune? Nope. But I've been on board since Whistle Why You twerk, and they? Okay. They had that one, and they had that... So Whistle Y'

Wham, wah, wong, wong, uh... Yeah, I know the beginning of that, too. So that's the beginning? Yeah, that's on the front side of that shit. So you wouldn't consider that... Like the first half of the... career, I would say. Not for our age.

Right. So that music y'all wasn't resonating with at first. We were loving this shit. And kids, but we were like, me, niggas is wild. Who these niggas? But see, that was like, talking to me like a dog dog. That was like twerk music, like for girls and shit. See, we were dancing as kids, so we were loving that shit.

Yeah. First, yeah. I was in Atlanta when that shit came out. But Banking and Bounce didn't get too far than what? It ain't getting no farther than Atlanta. That's this, a man, lot of this shit. We knew the dance. We ain't had no TV to catch a video like that, bro.

Like, you had the video was coming out on certain channels, and then you had to really be put on. We had to have a cable and lock in. You had to watch this shit for two hours to see a good video. So it's like, bro, that's word of mouth. We come from the word of mouth stage. But you gotta keep, when we was little, little, you remember this is it, dot net? When we was little, they very rarely played in black people's shit on MTV.

For sure. That's why we know all the rock music and shit like that. But then that, like, at first it was none. Then they'll play like one an hour. And it'll be like Sir Mix a lot or like Ice Tea or something shit like that. But they were like an Ice Cube. Remember today was a good day, was on that bitch for the longer. So they're like every hour they'll give us like one.

L.L.L. Cool J. But it was only a handful of motherfuckers. They played Nause a lot. They played the Fugis. L.L. Cool J. Like, they used to play shit like, they played puff and shit a lot. Bad boy shit. Like, they played mostly the East Coast.

You very rarely call the nigga from the South in the rotation. Like, because when they heard Bubba Sparks and shit. And then When Bill Maub came out with Sick of Ben Long... You don't notice them videos

them there's the same video So they're thinking everybody in the South just country pulling up and Cadillacs eating chitlins and shit They think That's how they see us though

But then they look at a nigga like Tip And he'd talk about You know 24s and shit Then they're like Oh them nigg's country as hell They just putting brims on these old raglan

They ain't knowing that They're caught fully built And they don't see Like, they don't get to come down here and see where this music actually fit in at. Right. Like, we're really doing this shit. We really will pull up and just jump out the car at the club and never go in the club. It's that lit out here.

Right. And it's a niggie selling, you know what I'm saying? Food, boy, I'm going to get some food. It's a whole shit, it's a whole shit going on down here. It's a whole different culture. Right, right. We called it. When I started grasping music, 99, 2,000.

2000 can money. See, this is what I heard about, though. Coming in for the 99 to the 2000, that's when I got on gangster rapping, what rap was looking like. I can see that shit at the house. This is what I heard a lot of niggins in the South during that time, though. The same way we fucking with their shit just because it's hip-hop. We're thinking they fuck with our shit the same way.

They weren't fucking with it. Then they were like, they ain't fucking with the music, but like y'all don't even like us. You dig what I'm saying? Like, damn, we been fucking with everybody's shit. It was a disconnect. We didn't fuck with the West Coast shit. We didn't listen to the backpack rap. We didn't listen to all these niggas down south is music card to them.

We didn't listen to me to say, I bombatomically hyperbomers. We didn't fuck for all this shit. We didn't fuck with gnaw. Hey, Jay Z got niggins buying Lexington's wine this bitch. And y'all ain't fuck with that shit. At all. At all. Period.

Just thought we were country bunking. Yeah, no why the boy 3-thous said, but South got something to say. Y'all, nigga, tripped. But for a long time, you would ride through the South, he ain't hit. Nobody bumping shit, but South shit. I know in my era, niggit wasn't bumping nothing but 3-6 Mafia, 8-ball, MJG, UG, UGK, Project J, J, all that shit. Like, 36 Mafia was the majority of all the shit that was listening to in my earth.

But see, that's why I don't have no abroad when they come to music past the South when they're like, gang, we didn't listen. Not saying we ain't fuck with, like I don't know a nigga who fucked with it. Like they say, Jay G.G. the big rapper and all that. But I'm like, gang, I'm a real South nigger. Right. My shit don't go past Virginia. Digger. We ain't even going past South Carolina, guy.

My favorite rapper was Big Daddy Kane. Every day with Big Daddy Kane. No, my first favorite rapper with Big Daddy Kane. And then DJ quit. You're gonna skimming. Then I got a little bit older and started fucking with the UGK, A Ball and MJG and all of this shit. While it was still like underground, I remember when A Ball and MJG got their first major

label deal with Shopout. They were like one of the first niggas that we seen get the deal, them in three six. That really can make a heck. Way when they was triple six mocked. Right. Changed it to three. That was crazy. That was crazy.

That was crazy. That's crazy. Because I like art. I was an M&L fan, and I still am. That whole D-12 shit. Guess he's back, back, back, back again. I was like, this the, this confidence music. It's not, I want to say, you know.

I was a comedian my whole life before I even knew it. I always looked at Eminem like parody rap. Yeah, this confidence. Like, he's really... I didn't know that that that nigga was technically the best. rapper? Like if you just had like a rap competition and who could technically do this? Man, I'm going with him. Shada going crazy when they're coming to their rap shit. When they're coming their rap shit and saying like, all right, we're going to rap about clowns.

We're going to rap about being a doctor. We're going to rap about a kid whose mom was trying to put pills in his, and his sandwich bag. You're like, what the fuck? What really got me was that conscious, him and Dr. Dre? Mm-mm. Mm-mm. What? These voices, these voices. These voices are heard of me. Where did I fog? I said this thing.

I just don't give a fuck. Of the first joint, off the slim shaded. I just don't give a fuck. Man, that mother, that went crazy. I think you said, nowadays, everybody want to talk, like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move that lips, just a bunch of gibberish,

and nothing comes out, but they forgot about Trey. Woo! Nothing comes in just a bunch of gibberish. But just a bunch of gibberish. They motherfuckers act like they forgot about Trey. He always had somebody black in the corner. Yeah. I knew something were wrong, but it's crazy because I was walking around the house, bro, and I found this CD.

I found it. And you know, CD player was, I just got a CD player. You ain't got that many CDs that's no kid. I may got one or two. Maybe one. Nick, I found this CD. It was the one with the red curtain. And they said Eminem on that motherfucker.

Eminem show. I was in the fourth grade. I picked it up. I was like Eminem. I got them a planet. Muffin' come on. I'm thinking you black. The whole time I got it, I'm thinking this nigga black.

Because I remember, you got to understand, you can't, there's no internet at the time for you to put a face on shit you here. So I may have a CD. I may have a CD and don't wait and get a year later to put the face on it. And I'm like, this nigga, white. I said this nigga, I say Eminem white. They like, yeah, niggie, you know that? I'm like, bro, I know like 340 niggins song, gang. This is how I got on the rap.

Rap was dope when we used to have us one white rapper. Yeah, one. We had to, we fucked around and got too many at once. Yeah. We should have just kept it. You kept it once out of how they do it. It's only one of us over there. We get you one of y'all over here, guy.

Right. Eminem had it for a long time. He didn't give a fuck even. He should have brought somebody and brought him ready for that spot. Eminem is like a mogul pop, mogul star where he don't have to come out and do nothing. He just, he got to do shit. Right. I'm fucking Eminem, nigga.

Right. The bad white boy at that. I'm not even the white people favorite white boy. They don't even fuck with me, but they ain't got no trouble to fuck me because I'm white. Ha ha ha ha ha. He'll win by- And I'm gonna talk all this shit about y'all. Because you can't kick my ass, what you're gonna do?

I hate you and your dad. I'm like, oh, this nigger crazy. This thing is crazy, me. I'm full of Eminem. You definitely inspired me, though, game, when the corner rapper, for sure, for sure. Of course. Definitely got some cadets. For sure, for sure.

See, rap music for our generation, that's our jazz, though. Like, they want to take all the shit out of rap music, but that fucks it up. Right. When they try to sense the rap. Right. Everybody got to have their own character, their own style. That's what makes them them, bro. Like, that's what rap has found, it seemed like it got down the day.

Right. And I heard the same cadence. I don't heard the same flow. You sound like him. When did we get so dumb as a society that people start thinking that we're supposed to actually do this shit? Rap is for entertainment purposes only. Nobody is saying do this shit.

Is it that simple that somebody should have just saying, hey, don't do the shit that you hear on a song. You don't have to copy this shit. You can listen to this gangster rap at your corporate-ass job. Right. You just like gangster rap. It's other rap. You got gospel rap by him.

Don't you want to press, Jesus. This what really, you asked me about the cause and shit. Right. This was the most disheartening part about the- entertainment game for me. When I found out that probably 95% of them rappers don't own them cars in them videos, that shit blew my mind.

I heard you. Because I'm like, niggins, because I'm from the country. I'm like, why would you get somebody else car to do this shit? Like, because where I'm from, you don't use nobody else shit to do nothing to prove a point. Nigger, if you drive a Honda, you ought to put your motherfucker Honda in the video.

That was the illusion that we bought, okay? It don't have to be that because I remember when I was growing up, one of the hardest songs that ever came out in my fucking childhood was certain mix of like my hoop-dee nigger. This nigga had everybody in the fucking world wanting to ride a hoop-deeat. We went ride and fucked up cars all this time and we never had shit to call it, nigger. The video started out, the Ben's going straight to the shop. They throw the niggie to a hootty. They ain't giving no rent on it.

Just fuck like somebody on a car, me. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Nia had hootty. A deuce in a quarter, man. Tailpipe dragon. Heater don't work, and my girl keeps nagging. Mm-hmm.

That hoopty will definitely give you where you need to go. Be appreciative, man. If you got a car that crank up, and that big get you where you need to go, and you know your car, though. Know your car. Right. Know how I fucked up your car in?

Know how far your car can go? No, you gotta know the limitations of your car. That's one of the biggest character builders that you could ever have in your life. When you got a fucked up car, ain't nothing more humbling than that. Yeah. Because you know exactly what you can do and what you can't do. You know what time you can go outside?

Because you ain't got no A. Ain't no going out of town. Oh, no. Ain't no going too far away from your neighborhood. Everything got to be after 5.30 when that son goes on out. You try to drive your shit to Lawrenceville if you fucking want to. Law, then.

We're not going to Longvin. This is a two, three streeter. Hey, this is a scooter for real. This is going from Martin Luther King to Greenbride. That's it. But that's pushing it. You, who, you, ooh, you, go to the mall? Look, ain't hitting on Kemp Creek.

He's trying to figure out he's going to go to the street all the expressways. You got to figure out where to break down that. I'm going to break down. I'm going straight down on the street. Look, I'm going straight down Kills and Road. If I get something, I'm going to go on Kank K's. I'm going to get some way. Backway back there, man.

Walmart. Ain't got time right down on that spreadway, guy. Yeah, no. They're hot. It's hot. Oh, God, best. Yeah. Hey, boy, that humbling.

You broke down in the hot. Nick, hell? Hey, how about this? This is the worst. When the car ain't even broke down, you just out of gas. I ran out of gas one day, nigga. Oh, no.

You forced yourself to strung this. I picked my car up from the shop. Old school, Monty, Carlo. I'm thinking. I'm not thinking that damn let me get some gas. some gas. Because in my mind for some reason, I bought gas right before I took the car. Nicking a road, Joe.

You see that out. God damn. I'm riding good in the mor. I'm talking about that bitch hitting the right. He's fit. I'm hitting the pipe and everything. Oh, right. And that bitch just.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. God. Damn. They got me again.

Yeah. My head gas get blue. basket blue, nigga. I'm in my taho on 28th. Oh, boy. In the middle of Camp Creek. Camp Creek got me too. And this the part, this the thing about it. You know me, I'm liable to lead this bitch, say, fuck this shit.

In the middle of the street. I couldn't lead them 28s, boy. I sat with my 28th. I sat in the heat. I said, niggo round up like DZ. I'm like, y'all, bro. Me, bro. Damn.

Man, I was in my craigs. I didn't know motherfuck. One time. I had smoked the hole from the exit all the way down to the race trail. the race track. Ooh, caught you at the raid track too. Man. It's something about that raid track.

What? Barely scuffed up into the way. Believe it or not, the most ironic shit happened. I passed my mechanic getting off the exit. That niggins just got behind me. He saw that smoke. He saw that smoke. As soon as I got out, he was right there with the trailer.

He said, I saw and smoke. I've had plenty old school breakdown of me, especially when you first get them. That's why I'd be telling you don't drag them, see, when you first, first, first, Bown, fucking with them people talking about. Ain't shit wrong with this car. All the needs a hot battery. Okay, but what about the cooling and all this shit? On the floor, man, I'm gonna get up here and the ignition switch go out.

You ain't draw the motherfuck in two years. You ain't drove the bitch in two years. Come on. I did crook it up. Man, I had one car one time. This bitch wouldn't cut off. Ha! This shit.

That one fucking was not going to go off, man. It stayed on. The car stayed on. I took the key out and everything. and everything. Backtime, still spending. Still spending. I was like, this is the craziest shit I ever said. Shit, when I bought my cut in that bit, that bit drove me all

way to the career. I knew I had a good one, because my partner, like, what they're gonna for clean, what do you want for it? I'm like, they ain't paid this thing, but white by $3,500. 3500. Sweet. Now, now. I bought a Cadillac one morning for about $1,500.

That shit was about an hour away. up north somewhere. I would draw that bitch all the way back to the south side. I was like, boy, this bitch, rag. Good than a motherfucker. No. No windshield wipers, though.

I remember when Cadillette's. That's me the worst thing about old school, you gotta make sure the windshield wipes. You don't think about the shit until they start reading. The windshield wipers and shit, they skip it. And then it ain't no

what that is. The little rubber that's on. Oh, all they go. It's just metal. Now you scraping up your windows. That shit is here. He's like, man, I'm going to pull over. Fuck this shit.

Should be real. But if you got you a good bin, is that bitch a last if you take care of it? All of them cars need a damn maintenance product. That damn what the bug come from? Some of them cars is designed to be fucked up, though. Especially them foreign cars, they made for that shit. You're going to have to do some.

Oh, she jammed. I got a meeting in the ladies. The motherfucker that be beating on the steering wheel with the music. They're into it. And she had the beat-bop, not the beat-bop machine, but when you go to somebody's house and they got one of them, what you call that? Stereo. People that were big on stereo, they had to have a nice stereo.

The one where you touched the, it had to have a nice stereo. They had the glass where you poke it and it open. You poke it in that motherfucker open. Yeah. Yeah. I was the stereo you smell. You ever notice how they had that, when they was in that glass case, they had that stereo smell.

And I remember we had a big ass one with the 50 discs and then you hit what this you want with the 50 CD disc. They've been spinning all the way around. And then you don't never even know what's in there. You're like, man, what's so 19? Boy, the men, let it snow. What? 50 disc, bro.

It was like the antenna that was. That's the EQ and shit. That's the EQ. It was like it was trying to catch something. No, that ain't that. That was just the EQ. What? When you turn the shit, the antenna used to be in the bank.

It wasn't shit. to catch. It's just the antenna. You had to move your shit around. Like, nigga, I don't get no reception on that's like. Put your intent over here. But if you had the box, you had the metal one. So you could just turn their bitch. But some of them they had the one that was like

it was like a cord. Right, right. But we came a long way, man. When it came a long way, shit should get signal now. All this shit blew to. All this shit blew two. All this shit blew up on wires and cords. We grew up on wires and cords, man.

And we didn't even know that they was training us to be cable men when we were little boys. And you remember learning how to hook your Nintendo up to different TV? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. The yellow cord, red, cord, white cord? Just before that. Ooh. Oh, you had the little twist shit. He had to twist that bitch.

Hold up, but which Nintendo? The great one, the first one. Yeah. NES. Yeah. Hold on, hold on. You had Nintendo one and then you had PlayStation one. Uh-uh.

Nintendo one. PlayStation, we had five systems before we got to PlayStation. You got, you had, you had, okay, you had Nintendo one, Super Nintendo. I ain't like it. Shit, I like Sega. I was Super Nintendo out. I was Super Nintendo out.

Versus the Blazers. Okay. Coach Cade. Double dribble. See, we didn't do none of that. That was Nintendo, but man, on the fucking Sega? Super TechMobo. So what happened after Sega?

What I'm back? That's in and a... What happened after Sega? Was the PlayStation 1? Streets of Rage. Streets of Rage, too. Remember they brought the Sega back and then they was giving you a free copy of the streets of a raid

Y'all went crazy. Y'all went crazy. So what about what happened after Sega? Was it PlayStation 1? What's Super India? Super Nintendo. So it was Sega then Super Nintendo. So what was before Sega?

Just Nintendo. Sega was the next system we jumped to after Nintendo. So Super Nintendo was the upgrade from the original to Nintendo. That's the one with the reset. And the reset. No, that's Nintendo one. Oh, I came up on Nintendo 1. Yeah.

With the and the reset button in the middle when you pressed the... No, this back when we all, all we had was power and reset. That's what I'm saying. You got power and reset and you got the little release thing

in the middle. That's Super Nintendo. How do you not know that? That's what I'm saying. That's Super Nintendo. Y'all talking about Nintendo 1 and shit. Nintendo NES.

Then there was Super NES. Nintendo Entertainment System. Then they came out with the Super Nintendo. See, I'm super Nintendo. I'm trying to figure out why I jump in the bandwagon that game. I'm super Nintendo. So it was three games since it was before that.

Yeah, Dreamcast. Dreamcast started coming around. Dreamcast, we thought it was going to be that deal. They fought up with DreamK, NBA 2K, that system went crazy. So check this out. So check this out. So check this out. What a nigga don't know.

Dreamcast ain't nothing but a modern-day version of Xbox. No, it ain't. You don't think where S-Boss got their dreamtass? That fat-ass controller? Nope. That fat-add controller? We had, remember it was the- They tried to put the cartridge in the controller.

That ain't, that was stupid. The memory card plugged into the controller. That was stupid. And then you could have the one with a little screen on it, like if you was playing like Madden and shit. Not Madden 2K or 2K, NFL 2K. Remember Randy Moss on that bitch, the nigga caught every... All you had to do is tap the bag.

All you had to do, tap it to him. And that nigga just catch that bitch one. that bitch one-handed on everybody. Okay, so when 64 came out then? Nintendo 64, that came out when PlayStation. That was the PlayStation rival. Oh, PlayStation rival. They fucked them up with the James Bond,

but they didn't have a whole lot of... They didn't have a whole lot of shit. PlayStation fucked them up with the graphics, but the only drawback for that, the memory card was like $50. Yeah, they were wilded with the memory card. They were true. And then you couldn't do shit

if you ain't had a memory card except leave the game part. You was good long as nobody kicked the game. Yeah. You can come back. You can come back. You can come back and play it. Then when PA one came out.

But the first two weeks of everybody having the PlayStation, nobody had a memory card. PlayStation came out when Madden in 2000, when Jamal Anderson, all you had to do was just stiff on everybody going to the ground. On PlayStation 1. PlayStation 1, that was, look, 98, 99. Game Day 96. Damn.

Oh, you had Game Day 90. Shit. Damn, I forgot about it. Yep, yeah, PlayStation 1 did. Hold on but PlayStation 1 had a revamp. Remember they had a PlayStation 1 Mini, then they had a PlayStation. That was way, way after. Way, way after?

Hell yeah. Way, way after. Absolutely. All that. The motherfucker had the big square shoulders and shit. But see, at that time, they were dropping these game console every two, three years. There was some new shit coming out, bro. Remember NFL Extreme?

Three on three on three. three football men. So when P.A.1 came out? He's at 96. Probably 95. I remember it was because we played live 95. You know what? You up to some.

Because I had a Super Nintendo first and then my sister got a P.A.1. And then I ended up taking the P.L. 15 was the first year of the PlayStation. Yup. Yeah. Because PlayStation 1, the great one, it was out for a minute. It was out for a minute

because it was circle And it had like a little See this is the thing That shit had been out But it was like Over $1,000 Yeah And then the American version

came in And that shit was still What? $300 $300? $300. $300? $300 for P.A.1?

I think them bitches might have been fat when they first first came out. Oh, that mean that's how they really got on 500 dollars than 95. These motherfuckers were sold. They wasn't sold out.

Damn show. And that was another thing. We used to coming from paying $25 to $30 for a Nintendo game. Hold on the game. So the games is $60. On the rip. The new shit, $59.99. I'm thinking they started that shit with P.A.3.

And when they started coming out, the PlayStation greatest hits for the 19. That's what the worst. That's what a nigga really started getting some games. Damn, P.A1 was $1,000? Yeah. P.A. What? That bitch was over $1,000.

What was that shit that they came out before that? What were they selling to make it so high? You remember the Neo Geo? That bitch was well over $1,000. What? They had this game system called Neo Geo. This is probably like the precursor for all the disc games. This was the first motherfucker on disc,

but that bitch was big. The bitch was about this tall, and that motherfucker cost about $1,500. They were making the killing man then, guy. Probably 2000. They were making the killing. Yeah. But to be real, that PS2 shifted game.

PS2 really fucked the game. It skipped the game. They still ain't caught them graphics. That P.S.2 game, that P.S.2 shifted the whole game system. Now, when them bids just came out, they was $600. Oh, my goodness. That was the best game system I ever had. That was the dope.

That was the bad game since I ever had. That was the only game I ever had. The beat was on PA-2. What really what's come up is that you can still play your PS1 games on that too. That's what took it to another level. And then you could watch DVDs on PA2. Oh, you know, brought in a movie theaters to the crib. Blue Ray.

Blue Ray. That was my, uh, Blue Ray. Blue Ray player, dude. Yeah. Yeah. You can watch the movie. You remember the Blu-ray shit had the secret menus on them shit. Yeah.

If you got a real good PA-2, he'll play a bootlet. It only plays something on. It plays something on. Not all on. He got to have to go in. You might have to put that bitch in their five times. Fine, come on, man. Let that motherfuck go in.

And you got to pray that little blue button while that motherfucker go in. Yeah, man. See that motherfucker go in, like, prayer and play. Like, you got that one fuck. You have to wait like a motherfucker to see the game going to load. That shit be short.
