Starting point is 00:02:58 Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Ain't nobody stood before the world and total Crips and Bloods, fuck y'all. And not only did that, I said, Raymond Washington then took you. Not only that, I said, f***in' hip's your hustle too. His mama. So they was trying to take my gun license from me,
Starting point is 00:03:15 but they couldn't. So no judge would deem me of a mincing the unstable. It was my rhetoric. So they're going off my internet rhetoric, homest. So that's why I tell you, you better be careful what you say. Like most people get into this life and can't take the costume off
Starting point is 00:03:26 so to get stuck on stage. Yes, Lord. Nip got stuck on stage. Nip ain't on the sideline talking to these Jewish billionaire and millionaire investors. They're talking to Irma's. When he was going down to talk to the police department to create this new gang incentive program, get the 60s mad at Irmiss for doing this in the name of Nip. 60s wasn't happy with Nip.
Starting point is 00:03:47 With that ideology, I would say that they wouldn't have let Wack 100 and them move around as much as they was. Wack 100, don't move around. If you go into jail, you go up there and fuck with Wack 100. Those that no, no. They know the Fed's in now. Yeah. Nah, we know they look. He said the Fed came and got me and asked me about to him.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Everybody in the winter or they went to. The Fed's in now. They ain't watching. They're in now. What do you think about Larry Hoover being pardoned by President Trump? It's been in the making for a minute. But to him, in his mind, he's free now. If he never come home, we don't know what it's like to be locked in a bathroom.
Starting point is 00:04:19 We're 44 decades. Man, he'd never seen his son in four decades. He ain't been hugged. He ain't been touched. He can shake a hand. He can talk. talk to somebody, he can walk around a yard with a gate in it and feel like
Starting point is 00:04:32 he in the ocean. 10.90, Jake. I hate him. I hate him. Why he don't say nothing about the Mexican cartel, they tell. There's plenty of paperwork on who's been told long about the Mexican plug. Yeah. Because he knows them cartel in Michigan. There's some consequences repercussions. It ain't no consequences
Starting point is 00:04:47 and repercussion to f*** with the pigeon. I can't say this. There should be a call of action to do something, man. Look, they say the sky's the limit, and I'm going farther than that She keeps blowing on my phone so I called her mama come get your daughter back They just want a little bit of fame get them boys wake Wipe a little one eye, what's your brain but I get a hard hat
Starting point is 00:05:10 They say the sky's the limit I'm going far though They can try to but can't kill me I'm immortal I just bought a nigga life asking did a side come with that order You lazy the reason you broke you don't know how to hustle Don't try me they know I'm a stress son Look red run Red die Hit the block one twillies
Starting point is 00:05:30 As him for a billy Cause he never felt one Stick him to the wild It's a nail gun Rhying with my dolls Trying to nail something I sit down on you And he got your
Starting point is 00:05:37 You know the vibes I'm your active and attractive host Or another episode Of the fastest growing podcast On the market right now Man you know the vibes I got one of them Nibers in here today man
Starting point is 00:05:50 You know I got a guy Who has took the internet By storm transition and all kind of business ventures this dude has elevated this brand in ways that only a few people and I'm talking one hand have been able to do
Starting point is 00:06:06 I got Charleston White man I was gone yeah yeah man which one of my cameras so they don't think I'm drunk yeah yeah yeah now man you know Charleston White the son or Rat William to some others
Starting point is 00:06:19 Uncle Rutgers to many to a lot of young people America's favorite uncle Yes Lord You've been killing You got all the uncle Yeah for sure
Starting point is 00:06:31 You've been smoking this thing Or yours man I've seen you out at Silver Sand Shut out Silver Sand Yeah man sat out the Silver Sand Staple in the time Yeah yeah And you know it was a line out the door
Starting point is 00:06:42 When we pulled up It was plenty of cars So I knew that was the chosen spot Right right What I think I want to ask you What makes you Want to make yourself That accessible when you come
Starting point is 00:06:53 into cities or in the ghetto because that's the ghetto right what makes you what makes you disregard some of the prior things that has happened like when we talk about nipsy when we talk about some of these people that run into unforeseen circumstance my wisdom a lot of people can say my wisdom won't allow me to do it in in in in in chicago or new york well not new york because i don't been to brownsville brooklyn to the bottom bottom in new york but but california in Chicago, I wouldn't do this even though I have done it. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:27 So I wouldn't openly go live because I know the gang cultures supersede morals, humanity and privilege. Yeah. So what will make me do it, homie, is all of our heroes, all of our great black leaders
Starting point is 00:07:43 before us, from Ali to Richard Pryor, they have always been able to walk amongst the people. They didn't need security because they was loved amongst the people it wasn't into the rap got into the rap industry
Starting point is 00:07:59 that they started dying amongst their people but prior to that That makes sense Prior to that, entertainers didn't die amongst their people was loved even now Michael Jackson couldn't do it but sometimes he did
Starting point is 00:08:12 Michael Jackson went to the hospital he walked amongst of people and caused the hysteria But niggil Ali was the greatest and he walked his kid to school Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:08:24 So I'll never want to get too far From my people Why I can't do what I did today Yeah you know with me bro And I was talking to him about this My camera guys that Because I Anybody got to ask Trey for me
Starting point is 00:08:38 Before I spark up Yeah yeah yeah I ain't one of them Dump ashes on the floor You show right I got one right here Yeah yeah I got one
Starting point is 00:08:49 but but i think because of what i've been through bro like the dope game i think it ruined me it ruined my it warped my reality post-traumatic if you sold dope and you did it for a long time uh you got some post-traumatic stress disorder from nothing else paranoid schizophrenia yeah yeah you distrustful yeah in your sleep patterns up yeah uh even though you change your life Oh, there's still some residue. That's a whole fact. Still some residue. And that's what I think, that's what, because for me, it's like,
Starting point is 00:09:28 because I can have a hundred up here, I can go in, you know what I'm saying? But it just won't, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, told on me around here, send me the, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, and this was a dude I helped for nine years. So when I, when I got, when I went through that, it broke me in a way, bro. I still ain't repaired that. Betrayal is something, homie that damage and scars people's hearts forever
Starting point is 00:09:57 and some people never recover. It takes a certain type of person that can mend the wound of betrayal and still intimately trust again. Right. That's with his woman. So a lot of people get up because they've been betrayed by somebody
Starting point is 00:10:13 that woman take the brunt of it. That's a whole fact. She can't get the fullness and the wholeness of him he's distrustful because what somebody else did. Yeah. Yeah. Did you come? So before you got into this, what was Charleston White doing?
Starting point is 00:10:28 I know you was an activist. We've talked before. And also for people who don't know, me and Charles, I really had the first Charleston White real viral interview. Yeah, yeah. So, so, so. So, you was one of the people, homie, that. you displayed journalistic characteristics and traits way back then
Starting point is 00:10:52 well you got here right this was on the facebook interview uh in the car i drove park somewhere talk cut the light on uh but you was really trying to highlight the man and not the character yes you really got the backstory the whole thing you got the whole backstory how you get here how you become why this but why they you capture the whole story, but the internet wasn't interested in it. Right. You brought it back years later and they came into. Yeah, yeah, they came interested.
Starting point is 00:11:22 But see, also, I was so hung up on making sure the quality was so right and I was in the, I was in the, it was both us was just starred. And I was in the little room, you know what I'm saying? You was in the car, but you was kicking all that shit that done got millions and millions of views at this point. You were kicking that on my shit way back then. So you've always been. So I'm not... So I was big on Facebook then. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah, yeah. Homest, so you was on your way to go get a deal. I hadn't even really got on Instagram yet. Right. I was just big on Facebook. Yeah, but it was so potent that N-S was taking it to Instagram.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That's how you know you really got some. They were taking into YouTube. They were getting paid off YouTube. I had no idea you could get paid off the shit I was saying. So it was almost two years went about people making money off my videos I was doing off Facebook before I even realized you can get paid.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Do you realize that? Do you realize that? You were stepping on your clippers. You really had clippers back then, but you were stepping on them. You were getting, I'd be reading, take my shit out of y'all bitch at, reposting my shit.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Then was your clippers. It took me a while to realize. Yeah. Hom, but, man, I ain't know. I'm trying to learn. But what can you learn? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:34 You're asking people this. They're acting like they know you paying them. You know, you're locals. They're talking like, man, I can do this. So, okay, then they're saying what I'm doing wrong. Okay. what I need to do right then everybody's saying what I'm doing wrong
Starting point is 00:12:47 nobody could tell me what to do right so I learned how to do right from doing wrong like most kids who come from our community right right right I learned how to do what's right on the internet by doing everything wrong yeah losing shit would nobody teach me so it was trial and error so I'm bashing them
Starting point is 00:13:05 until somebody said they're marketing and promoting they're marketing advertised these are commercials they're your billboy I'm striking them so I pulled back But I spent a year striking here Man you were striking man I remember you go down there
Starting point is 00:13:19 You was on there You would go live and go to striking them nigger This man This sitting one on me Muffalo to lose the channels Muffin to pay me And I'll pay you to pay me And I'm saying
Starting point is 00:13:30 You still in my shit I ain't understand But you That was clippers That's what them streaming Right now That was the first clippers That I seen
Starting point is 00:13:39 But yours was clippers Because your shit was so potent The Aiden Ross and the Neons and the Kassanet and them They got clippers some of them they're paying But also they got a large fan base Your fan base at the time wasn't even that large As large as it is now But it was so potent
Starting point is 00:13:56 That they were waving your flag They're on YouTube waving your flag Title in a different way King Cash's King Cassius at that time had like 2,300,000 followers He was daily getting 7,800,000 views off the
Starting point is 00:14:13 shit I was doing on Facebook. I got his channel took down. But I ain't knowing at the time. It took me four to five years to realize this is how you conquer the algorithm. Exactly. You're clippers. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:27 You need these people. You can't do this by yourself. You can't do it, bro. You think you're doing it by yourself. It's all these people who've been taking your shit. It took me four, five years to realize that. Now, I ain't never got to go lie. That's why I hardly go lie now.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I'm saying. I just go make a video somewhere. My clip is going to take it, and me it's going to go to Twitter. So, yeah. So what that does is they help me sell concert tickets. They help me sell merchandise or they give me book for interview. I ain't got a monetize over there. Y'all have it.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Y'all have it. And here's another trick. So Nav Green was going through that. Run a business and not thinking about podcasting, think again.

Starting point is 00:18:20 It's a little skits. So a young guy from Memphis had turned him up on TikTok. Millions and millions of views. So Nav Green had. his team reach out to him and the was ignoring him because he thinking they're going to run it like you running they're going to try to take me down so he ignoring
Starting point is 00:18:37 him. Nav Green them just had to send him a blind DM like bro we ain't trying to take you down just cut us in 20% that of anything just throw us something because we're shooting this content it costing us money so they made a deal that shoot him some money dudes still run their page millions
Starting point is 00:18:53 of views. It's it's a it's a channel on TikTok boss of Young boss something on TikTok. T.L. Young boss? He'd do millions of Charleston White. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I started beefing with him, homie. I would really, but but I didn't realize at the time, I'm thinking, man, stealing my content. He's making me a worldwide brand. I'm looking at the fact
Starting point is 00:19:19 that he getting all these millions of you I'm realizing that he's making some money. Yeah. He's making you a worldwide brand and you ain't paying him. Yes, sir. And all he's doing is just, just taking your real-life street star video.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah. So, so, I think I spent a year of squabbling with him. I look at TikTok one day. I got over 2 billion hashtag Charleston whites. That's just hashtag Charleston White. I told William them, man. I said that nibillions of view just on TikTok. I got another 22 million hashtag Charleston White misspelled with after E,
Starting point is 00:19:56 C-H-A-R-L-S-T-O-N. I got another 40 million in Charleston White memes. When I added up, I'm in $3 billion. I left him alone because he's a, he's like a billboard for him. But it ain't nobody teaching you this, then you think they're stealing your content. But they're really working for you and they find their only way to pay themselves. Right. And you ain't got to pay them.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So now I let them have it. So all the fake pages, that's why you can't find me because I let the fake pages. Now, some fake page is scamming. I can't stop that. But if you know me, you know I like to go live. Those are billboards for me. Those are big, I don't have to pay no clippers. So I let them make their money, homie.
Starting point is 00:20:40 But it took me years to understand that. In a broke and angry. Yeah. So he's trying to get everything he can get. Broke and he angry. Yeah, yeah. Trying to take that shit down. But see, get what?
Starting point is 00:20:51 This you're talking about, the page you're talking about. See, you've birthed a lot of shit, man. unbeknownst to you right like with the t l young boss individual they've now took the platform that they've built off your back and now they're charging brands to yo we'll do collab posts with you we'll edit your shit we'll do that so real life street stars pay them now now they pay them now they pay them because they built it off of what you had going on and had this big audience sitting there so it's like i say it's one hand watch the other both watch the face You got to know that.
Starting point is 00:21:26 So, I shouldn't have been attacking them. I should have been collaborating. Yeah, yeah, I should have been. But I was reflecting what was being at me. Because I was being attacked every day at the time. At the time, I was under attack every day, all day, every day, everyday confidence. You were squabbling. So every day all day.
Starting point is 00:21:52 And all contenders. And I was attacking back. So, yeah, I had to get out of attack mode. But I'm just reflecting what was before me. It wasn't until I started traveling and going places and start seeing love. That's when the stop attacking. It's just like them dogs that they had Michael Vick, them fighting dogs. They want some biting dogs.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah. But when you take them out there fighting environment, start patting on them and loving on them, once I start getting the love I start biting. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But see, I think that's why you transition right in the stream and so well as well is because not only are you a brand, you funny,
Starting point is 00:22:34 you got your fan base and audience, but you also come with a lot of the attributes that they have, meaning the clippers. Yeah. The ones that take the shit and gone do it themselves. Eight of them got that shit. Kyle, all them got that shit too, but you got to be a certain level
Starting point is 00:22:51 to have it everybody don't get that from my understanding Aiden and Kik the ones that they have agreements with home they pay over a million dollars a month for certain people's
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah I seen the neon They said that Kyle paid good Neon them pay good So you know that's That's somebody that watched them every day though And that mean you're watching The whole sell my hours
Starting point is 00:23:13 Yeah Very few people got that kind of commitment And dedication So they deserve something At the time of the night That they do it Yeah. So, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:23:21 So, of course, of course they deserve something. I used to be disappointing with the people around me because they wouldn't capture this in clip what they see in real time. Yes. Hum, I got a partner, me and want to Ralo and thug them people. My man, he locked up right now. Oh, man, my dog traveled around the country with me. But he never pulled out the camera to capture this inside.
Starting point is 00:23:50 how you're in the room with people. If you're nothing, they'll shake their hand in the same number.

But you ain't speaking about Nipsey in the raping context. I'm speaking about the rolling 60 Crip Nipsey that joined this gang that killed eight trades and hooves.
Starting point is 00:34:48 So Irimus then joined the gang, you're saying? Irmonds joined the gang and had to play Nip and couldn't take the costume off. Like OG Percy. Like most people get into this life and can't take the costume off so they get stuck on stage. Yes, Lord. Nip got stuck on stage. Iramish Nip ain't on the sideline

Starting point is 00:35:40 that Irimus for doing this in the name of Nip. Yeah. The 60s wasn't happy with Nip. But when you go to the funeral, as all of us, all of us play whatever we play outside of awful mama's poets. When we go to Mama's Poets, we ain't Nip. Mama ain't college.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Hey, Nipsey, neighborhood, nip. Yeah. So, so, so I'm sitting at the funeral. I went the Nipsey Hustle funeral with the role in 60s Crips. One of the original founders and original crib members is Cappuccino. So I'm riding a car with Capitino.

Starting point is 00:36:38 I knew he was a rapper. I knew it was a rolling 60, had never heard his music. Other than one, the song with YG, I lived in L.A. at the time. I stayed on Imperial Vermont, right there on the borderline of Denver Lanes in the Hoover's neighborhood. I worked at Diamonddale adolescent group home, so I ain't really know who Nip was. But when I went back home, my city from the radio station and everybody, they got a whole downtown celebration by the n-old and died in L.A. because we've seen some news clips of him talking, some talk.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah. So I'm like, what for you? So I went to saying, we got such and such around. Here, that's a Nipsey Hustler. I didn't name myself. I want to name it other people who do what y'all think. And y'all even support these. How y'all celebrate?
Starting point is 00:37:26 So God made it for a way for me to get an invitation because even though I didn't have a California drive, but you had to have a California drive, and I need to get a ticket to the funeral. So I'm cool with skull. at the time. Another original Crip

Starting point is 00:37:49 house. King Bobby Louis is one of the founders of the Piru. I don't connect it with all the originals. So we go
Starting point is 00:37:56 to the funeral together. But me and Skull catch the Uber to the 60s neighborhood. So we're at the original house
Starting point is 00:38:02 where the rolling 60 started. So I'm soaking up the history. And I still got Rowling 60 tattooed on me. So, I'm going to know who Nip is.
Starting point is 00:38:13 So when I go to the funeral, I don't never hear the name Nipsey. I heard the music playing. Yeah. That's crazy. We at the Staples Center. Yeah, but that's crazy. I'm smoking too, though.

And then they're going against me.
Starting point is 00:39:16 So I sat there and I listened. I heard Eirmis. Earmiss? I said, that was sharp. Then I heard a little boy get up there and say, last night, Eremis came to me. I'll put that blunt out. He said, what's up, killer?
Starting point is 00:39:36 He was in heaven. Nigger Yeah. Yeah. Then he went on to give a detailed account in a conversation of this guy by the name of a year. Yeah. No way, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:51 But I'm saying when I go look at nip, I'm seeing him slap the reporter. I'm seeing, I'm a 60 for anything, Cud. What? But after the funeral, I'm riding.
Starting point is 00:40:07 I get a ride back. home or scud leave me in the neighborhood he leave me in the 60s neighborhood I had sent that they had a pistol in a bag of mine

Starting point is 00:41:08 them parts, homie. Yeah, one thing about you. I warned them parts, homie, so yeah, so, so I need to ride home, but LAPD, they had, they used the helicopters to jam the cell phone tower, so we
Starting point is 00:41:23 couldn't use the phones for whatever reason. Damn. They shut down all the stores, so ain't no Uber coming through. California, L.L. a dangerous place. Yes, a dangerous spot. And then, everybody, every set in L.A. is And coming to this area, homie. You got every, so this is a volcano.
Starting point is 00:41:42 If you see, go back and let's just look at the pictures, homie. This is a volcano. This is L.A. LAPD. Worst nightmare. Yeah, yeah. So, uh, uh, in the 60s is on edge. Right, because they just lost one of the big dogs. And they're on edge.
Starting point is 00:41:57 And they're tripping, homie. So, yeah, so, uh, so I needed a ride back, uh, back in close to the hovers. So Raymond Washington, best friend, Big Sike, a big old, he don't talk. I'm talking about big old
Starting point is 00:42:16 intimidates or I should say, Big Sight, man, I cannot pay you to give him a ride back to the hood. I don't really know what hood I mean. So he said where I say, off of Imperial Vermont. So he told me what it was.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And as we ride in her, he tells me a story of a young kid about 11, 12 years old. They walked up. to him and says, say, big homie, can I ask you a question? He said, yeah. He said, why are you gang banging? He said, shit, I gang banged because I was born too.
Starting point is 00:42:43 He said, his young 11, 12-year-old kid by the name of Irman said, say, big homie, when I grow up, I'm going to change the hood. That wasn't Nipsey. Nipsey was just a vehicle to keep him protected. Big Sam didn't join 60s, Nip did. Big Sam wasn't never cool with Nip being in 60. Yeah. So Irman's wasn't supposed to be a gang member or a gang banker
Starting point is 00:43:06 But because he was that cost him his life That's crazy how decisions work Choices were And even if it don't get you now Yeah And you're trying to come out of this role He ain't have no business playing that role And you don't made it to this status
Starting point is 00:43:22 So it's a lesson to be learned Homie that's still on the front line Telling that homie that nigga Yeah Yeah homie so But I think that the Nipsey thing is extremely interesting. Big you didn't get, big you wasn't at the funeral, whether. You go.
Starting point is 00:43:43 It's a lot behind that, homie, but don't know what happened. Homie, the feds is saying it, but they're not saying it. And a lot of what they're saying, homie, they're saying, we know we just don't have, why you think Eric Holden ain't dead? Yeah. They could press a button. Come on, homie, we make his trade for the food to go back there. The inmates make his trades.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Come on. They didn't got at him, but they said the Mexicans got out. It wasn't they, the Mexican did it because the Mexican would nil, but that's just for love for nip. Exactly. But if the face of the, if the face of the 60s go down, man, it's a response about that. But now, with that ideology, I would say that they wouldn't have let Wack 100 in them
Starting point is 00:44:29 move around. much as they was. Wack 100, don't move around. Wack 100, I ain't seen in L.A. But they had no jumper. I don't know what no jump in. No, you go on to jail. You go up there and fuck with Wack 100. We got a missile we'll send through that. That's a couple
Starting point is 00:44:43 to go to jail. Man, they don't want their fed. I would have had the shit whack up if I would be. Man, they don't, man, they know the Hohmah. Those that know, no. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:36 I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
Starting point is 00:52:07 A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network.

Starting point is 00:52:37 My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tamika Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in common. with several people, talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tamika never bought the car, and she never returned home that day. One podcast, one mission, save our girls.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Join the searches we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls. Listen to hunting for answers every weekday on the Black Effect Podcast Network, IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. There you go, because it don't come from the police department. It comes by the way of public safety funding. Well, why is our funding coming from public safety? High crime areas. Gangs.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Yes. So we have to have the funding. So we're going to give your police department $700 million for one year. Now there's 700 million 400 million is theirs 300 million is the communities But if you don't With the police
Starting point is 00:53:56 You don't get to go get your money Right It ain't they money Yeah There's your money For your kids swimming It's coming through public safety Yeah
Starting point is 00:54:07 Public safety That goes for parks and recreation That's why you can't use the park And so that's parks and recreation That's your swimming pool So if you need all that, that's over there. Yeah. Yeah, we got some of this allocated for infrastructure.
Starting point is 00:54:22 But what y'all need is over there. Gang intervention, gang prevention. So it's not just to lock up those are your intervention. We got plenty money to prevent this. But if y'all don't fuck with us, man, I don't fuck with the police. Then guess who gets the money? Your preachers. Because your preachers' fuck with the police.
Starting point is 00:54:44 That's why every time it's a police shooter, some happen, go get the pre-men go get Reverend getting the money you know why could they tell Reverend how to get the 501c3 so Reverend don't just won't gau's money no more he won't tax exemption from your money you give him so then told Reverend how to get the 501c3 now Reverend got the 501c3 Reverend's supposed to have an after-school program
Starting point is 00:55:05 he's supposed to have a daycare but he's using the money another way so they give him the funding because you won't with the police so when I got that game I said well shit I ain't a criminal let me go f*** with the money the police. That's a mean thing from my community though, right? Just being black, I think you broke
Starting point is 00:55:23 that though. You kind of broke the mold with interaction with the police, even for the benefits. Like you're saying, wouldn't even go over there to feed the children. Men, men, a promoter. Homeal promoter can have stopped the
Starting point is 00:55:41 violence concerts and get free money from the county. Pay this pay that. You're talking about. You're talking my $50,000 that they'll get you to put a stop the violent event on, go get what you like as a route. But if you don't fuck with these people, then they go go buy a new tank.
Starting point is 00:55:57 They're going to go buy them drones you can't see in the sky. Put shit all around the city, spying. There you go. They feel to go buy some toys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. And you don't know they got the money neither. Shit.
Starting point is 00:56:11 We're for the final way to fund it somewhere else. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but if you ain't got that game, homie, so I'm saying we all can't be anti-police When we know we need the police when I got that game It wasn't that I was forced to I'm saying okay When you realize how the 501c3 and the non-profit work Just where most of the money is you ain't got to stand on the corner with the kids With the little league football team and got the cheerleading girls out there with they skirted
Starting point is 00:56:42 She's looking like little hos. You got the little boys nappy-headed with the pads half off and on. You ain't got to do that, homie when you understand you can go over here and take their money and create some type of
Starting point is 00:56:54 booster fund for the kids. That chick filet, that McDonald's, all them's Taco Bells, all them places, food, fast food places you got in your community supposed to go over there and partner with them. Hey, these sales tonight we're going to bring all these people here.
Starting point is 00:57:10 They're supposed to get money back, but you don't With these people. So you don't know. So you steady trying to shame black people in the giving you. So when Gina Biven said that, homie, I went to develop, you know, relationship with the police department. And by doing that over the years, when I see that there's a police officer that's doing something and people call me and say something,
Starting point is 00:57:34 I got some power to call down there and had an officer move to another side of town. When they got all the rookies over her at nighttime, say, look at a deputy dean, man, why y'all got all the rookies over here? You know, they come with the rookie mistakes. We need some veteran laws on this side of town. Man, don't put all the rookies over here, man. They got, you know what I'm saying? So you're building that kind of relationship as a community leader.
Starting point is 00:57:57 It wasn't when I started trying to go radical that they started saying, man, hey, we don't know about Charles. Yeah. But I'm repeating the rhetoric of the old. You see what I'm saying? And I'm starting to be more for us. Now I'm talking Fubu talk For us

Starting point is 01:10:38 You know, they play that game. There they go, and hit for $30,000. He thinking, listening to the truck. He thinking, listening to the Bs, I don't come back and get the money. So that's what he staged to play to get me robbed. God. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:54 We could have been millionaires. See, the game is always like that. That's what's fucked up. It's like, and not only... We made it up out of that, but, uh, yeah, you know, uh, I start, I start seeing my n-uh put Xanax in, you know, I, I start watching my, go from sipping syrup, uh, to putting X X in Jolly Ranchers and in the bottle, shaking it up trying to, yeah, he's going down the dog, pal, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. tell them like all my homies like that's why you know you can't trust them with this level of shit you be around when they on them drugs and shit you just can't trust it bro like um because
Starting point is 01:11:28 it costs too much so yeah not homie so you know i would know as a as a as a smooth player you know you know i've been the ladies man in the streets homie so uh so if the streets up that that happened between me and big boy because he was a smooth but then his reputation start going down here that be a real character at some point home Homie, yeah, yeah, that was a character. So ultimately, that, that ended up costing him. So, when I sent the police that way, yeah, yeah, I had to get him over here, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:59 I sent him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so they end up, you know, shooting through the door and shooting the police officer. Damn. Yeah, yeah. Is that because they came with the open up? With the no-knock, with the no-knock shit. So they beat it, though.
Starting point is 01:12:13 So, so, but the, I told on, end up snitching on one of his young. Who actually shot. Yeah, he ended up snitching on it. And these are some player, y'all, you know, homie. Yeah. Them young dude loved me to this day because they saw how my n-crossed me. So they would always watch him because of, if he, I mean, if he would cross blue.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Yeah, so, yeah, but he was, they kind of like their big homie. Yeah. But they some live little n-mmy, and they was, and they was, him yon-you were his muscle. At that time, they go shoot it out with the police behind that and shoot a bit. They shot it out with the police. That's crazy, though. So, so, yeah, them little bit of them love me to deal with him. And they beat that.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Yeah. because the police came with the... Yeah, yeah, but damn, you'd think they'd try to steal with a conviction out of that more. Well, they got some conviction. They ended up going through them. They did some time behind it. They just beat the tempted of capital murder on the police.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Because they had been... The big boy had been robbing, you know, after that, homie. So it was some other than they had they had been sending text messages and threats. So that's what kind of say to them. So mostly had sent some threats. So they don't know if it's the police because the police didn't say nothing,
Starting point is 01:13:15 but the police lied and said they said something. But them nigger beat that case. I think they ended up doing like 10 years. Shit, big boy got out, got back home. And so now when he get out, I hurry out. And I'm on this one ass. You hear me? Well, I'm going to end up because I'm big on social media now.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Yeah. I was starting to become big. I'm being on Facebook. Yeah, my nigga called me like, man, listen, woo, woo, woo, woo, we talked about it. Small misunderstanding and a lot of them street friendships. That's how I go. a mind you f*** up in your mind you know me you know you don't i don't gave me the money i don't
Starting point is 01:13:55 went to go get it you don't know my mama liu you don't know i could leave my apartment i could have been ran out with the money why with that kind of nip come on you listen to the debil playing yeah i could have been done this come on my nigg you don't send me and waited i don't went to the other city to get it and come back come on yeah Niggas don't be thinking, man. Those girls cloud of the damn, bro. But they reflect who they are on other people. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:23 That's a hard fact, too. Lying people think everybody lines. Thieves think everybody stealing. I hate that when he takes you and they go to panicking because a don't answer quick enough or something. Damn, you don't fuck with it, what damn what in there? Ah, you on some other shit. That's what's in your head.
Starting point is 01:14:36 You see my fuck with me. That's why you think I don't want you. Yeah, yeah. You got to watch for that kind of shit. Yeah, I listen for it. Yeah, I listen for it. What's in a man's heart going to come out of their mouth. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Especially if he'd like to talk. Yeah. It's that quiet I don't say much you got to kind of ponder and wonder about. But now, how much? So that was my life changing experience in my early 30. My daughter was just born.
Starting point is 01:14:59 So I had never been betrayed by a friend before. Right. I had never been betrayed by a friend. We don't fuck each other, girls. But when you're young, that's not betrayal. Right. But, yeah, no, I had never been betrayed. So that was my life lesson.
Starting point is 01:15:11 When you heard me say, I don't fuck with me. I don't fuck with me. Yeah, that's all right. And so by that time, when I went and got in college, a few years later, all of my real childhood friends started coming home from prison, from shit they did when they were kids. Because your friends, you really made friends in prison.
Starting point is 01:15:30 In boys home, yeah, Dewberry and I would wait on. Most of the I went to school with, we didn't main, it was like two or three, we maintained friendships. But you're not the same, you can't maintain the same level of friendship from the six and seven grade and you come back at 22, 23. Because now these got egos
Starting point is 01:15:51 from selling dope and you know what I'm saying they might have been weenny n'rs in school now they big dogs can't nobody tell them nothing so they're super tough or you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:15:59 or they might have been super tough now they don't dope so the dynamics had changed you know what I'm saying so I was kind of like in the wilderness just alone because I know everybody
Starting point is 01:16:13 I can go from Fort Worth to Grand Prairie, Doward, Oak Cliff, West Dallas, Pleasant Grove, Houston, San Antonio. So I can go to all these different places in it because I spend his whole teenage life in the boys home. And I was in an institution that only housed Texas most violent youthful offenders. So that's from 91.
Starting point is 01:16:33 So you met everybody in that way. I met all the big dollars in the neighborhood, they were kids. Because you know the statistics say that that's in there at that age, them going to be them kind of. for the rest of their life. So all I was in the boys' home with,
Starting point is 01:16:46 then when they got 18 and 19 by the time they were 21, 25, they ran certain prisons. Right. That's exactly how I'd say is going to go. Because they come through, just like the movie, American Mead and all the movies, all of them starting their boys' home. Yep.
Starting point is 01:16:58 So most real bad home we got juvenile records. A bad juvenile record. Bad, yeah. They was in boys' home, a different youth center. Yeah, yeah. All those met up in juvenile attention center. So all the new people started the gangs.
Starting point is 01:17:12 I was in the boys home So I got, you know It was like joining a fraternity for me Because it wasn't no It wasn't no deadly violence in the boys' home We fight like a bitch We squabble like a mo' But it wasn't no deadly violence
Starting point is 01:17:30 Might get hit across the head or something But it wasn't no deadly violence So it was growing up just fighting If you was free, do you think you would have joined the crime? Yeah, I would have been killed It was in your spirit Oh, so imagine imagine my internet persona
Starting point is 01:17:44 as a gang number it's the same it would have been the same yeah I would have been just disrespectful yeah because that's my temperament
Starting point is 01:17:52 or anything I embrace that's me playing back you can't hold me so that's playing domino you go that persona comes out so now
Starting point is 01:18:01 that's the persona I had in the boys home so that's how I got the name nut that same internet persona was in that little n'r with the one yeah
Starting point is 01:18:08 and I'm just acting so I'm going overboard yeah But it's convincing. It's convincing. You know what I'm saying? See, because you got this thing, like you've got this pattern where you've said, yo, I infiltrated the police.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I went out there and infiltrated the role in 60s. So you got a certain level of game where you can make it look like whatever you really want to make it look like. So, so, so when I joined a gang in 92, uh, gang banged had already been big. in America from the mid-80s by way of the crack epidemic. So if you watch that movie,
Starting point is 01:18:49 what's that movie about crack with that on Netflix? Snowfall. Snowfall. So if you watch Snowfall, you saw Jerome them took crack. Yes. The mother-in-state in California.
Starting point is 01:19:00 Jerome them took crack. Crack and the gang bang came together. Yeah, because it was coming out of LA. There you go. The work was coming out of LA. So, so, so, so that's why you had the documentary banging in Little Rock. That's why them
Starting point is 01:19:13 was so detrimental. That's why they gang. That's why their first years of gang banging was so horrific and horrendous because they got to California and the country and took the gang
Starting point is 01:19:26 and took it to extreme. You saw in the movie, he said, man, these country nigger, wild another guy. They're giving you certain history in this shit. So by time
Starting point is 01:19:37 it gets to Texas and Louisiana, I'm, what, maybe 11, 12, by time I'm 14, it's real, but I'm from the suburbs, so I don't see it. It ain't in my school, it ain't in my television, and when I go to my any of them house in the gutters, in the slum, I see them bandana. So it's only appealing because I've seen it on colors.
Starting point is 01:20:05 It's just like the shit we see on love and hip hop, you know, it's all. With the cyber truck or something, you know what I'm saying? So that flag became, that was like, it was appealing, like the cyber truck. So, uh, the deferred iPhones, that bandana. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, uh, when I, so I'm one of the very few kids in my school that was going to juvenile. But I'm going to jury for mischievous delinquency, stealing cars, uh, vandalizing.
Starting point is 01:20:33 So I'm getting to get a peek of it, a little couple of days I'm staying in juvie. Come home. go to school, mimic, a stance, a walk. You know what I'm saying? When I got the juvenile, I got to see a fool up close and personal, she was everything I was looking for. It's like, say, mama, I want to play football.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Right. The camaraderie, all, and then got the blue dickies on with the rug, just everything in it. Because it was already appealing by way of television with the young impressionable mind. Right. So at this time, Larry Hoover's literature, growth and development,
Starting point is 01:21:15 is being started to be spread throughout the prison system, the juvenile system, so it's starting to come down south and everything. But the Crips and Bloods don't have no literature. But they're trying to adopt literature by way of acronyms, CRIP, community revolution in progress. Cuds, rest in peace. Community revolution, international.
Starting point is 01:21:35 So they're starting to put acronym, But that's the brainwashing with the bull shit For the young people to make it feel like it's honorable Right So now they're coming with acronyms of blood Brothers leading others out of darkness So they come with some acronyms But they're getting all this mixed up
Starting point is 01:21:50 With Larry Hoover's teaching Equipion so now it's even more appealing Because now we have literature So now they're just checking each other on literature That's GD and BD shit Now the creeping bloods and you know your literature Well when you were playing Domino I was writing
Starting point is 01:22:07 who was in games in California and in a door definitely used to let anybody write in prisons yeah yeah so them people were writing and giving me the history and the knowledge
Starting point is 01:22:16 then Monster Cody dropped that book that book some shit up what monster Cody so when I went and got the first history by all the names
Starting point is 01:22:25 and the time frames when I went into bed that made me the leader amongst these niggas yeah because you knew more than there you go anybody with the information right to the top
Starting point is 01:22:35 Duh, so I was the with the knowledge and the literacy. I wouldn't learn all the handshake, you know what I'm saying? Because they're top dog, right. They're putting in books. They put it in, you know what I'm saying? He's showing us. I'm learning. Yeah, we're just learning shit.
Starting point is 01:22:48 But we're making it up and we go along. Yeah. So that's what superseded me passed to be a little because I had the knowledge. And that's when I understood knowledge, the real power of knowledge. No, for sure. What do you think about Larry Hoover being pardoned by President Trump? Uh, uh, it's been in the making for a minute, uh, yeah, yeah, it's been in the making for a minute. Uh, yeah, it's been in the making for a minute. He, he just needed a strong ally. And, uh, the, the, the lady who, who, who they called the, the czar pardon, the pardoned. Uh, she, she was pardoned once before by President Trump. I didn't know that. Uh, and so, uh, God has given her favor to, to, to have the king's ear. And shout out to the queen
Starting point is 01:23:35 Yeah, for sure Do you think he'll get to unravel the state time? Yeah, yeah He's coming home home He don't got 50 on the 200 or something Well, he up under the old parole system So he already edged up before parole Real, that's good
Starting point is 01:23:49 That's definitely good No, he up under the old parole system Not the new one So he already edged before parole Oh, that's dope, I didn't know that But to him in his mind, he's free now If he never come home, he's free Because he was in that maximum
Starting point is 01:24:04 If you never come home We're free Yeah We don't know what it's like To be locked in a bathroom We're 44 decades For 23 hours a day Every day
Starting point is 01:24:14 You can't talk to your neighbor Because they can't They got to be silent They can't communicate So he can't talk to nobody And it's only certain guards He can talk to They can only have a conversation
Starting point is 01:24:24 Because of the level of power He's been deemed to have So only certain people can talk to him Can you imagine that? And we're talking about Come home free. They say read the mail off of green.
Starting point is 01:24:36 Man, he'd never seen the sun in four decades. He ain't been hugged. He ain't been touched. He ain't had no human contact. He don't know what it'd like. Yeah. We don't know what they feel like. So fuck what we're talking about.
Starting point is 01:24:48 He can shake a hand. He can talk to somebody. He can walk around a yard with a gate in it and feel like he in the ocean. Yeah. What we're talking about. Yeah. Yes, man.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Yeah. See, here's something I think about is like he's, he's been like, like you say, he. We can't forget Jeff Ford either. They punish him Jeff Ford, homie, because Jeff Ford, you know, man, uh, yeah, yeah. And that's his guy, isn't it? Well, yeah, they, they, they was once enemies, but yeah, they, they, they, they once was enemies, that's right, they once was rivals. But, you know, Jeff Ford was fucking with, you know, Farrakhan, Murmah Gaddafi and him, man. You know, so they got him as a terrorist.
Starting point is 01:25:35 But, man, he's an old man, homie. Yeah. These are some old soldiers, homie. How long he'd been locked up? Just as long as Larry Hoover. So they got both of them in the same time. In ADX. El Chapo breaking over there.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Because it's torturous, homie. Yeah. Them old, you know, I'm sure they broke at some point. Yeah. Yeah, they're strong. Yeah, they're strong. It's strong. Yeah, my heart weep for him.
Starting point is 01:26:05 See, I was a little boy. So I spent nine months in isolation as a kid in the GRU program. It was a behavior modification program. You know, I bang-bang-it, right? So, yeah, we was in tour with the disciples in the Hoover at the time, and it was his name, Randy Ware. This was a minute. He was a Hoover.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Yeah, he was a Minus. Yeah, he used to catch. Uh, one of my, uh, yeah, yeah, if he catch it, he'll go maim me. Couldn't he be quite good. Yeah, yeah, make God rest his toe. Yeah, so they ran the world. So, uh, yeah, we jumped on Randi World one time. And, uh, they would land on the ground in handcuffs.
Starting point is 01:26:50 And I was in handcuffs. And so somehow I got up and I ran over there and kicked that in the face while he was in handcuffs. So, so they put me in a, they put me in, at first I think it was originally like a, uh, a, uh, a, 180 day or maybe like a 90 day lockup program it was a behavior modification program
Starting point is 01:27:08 so I ended up staying nine months so it's initially 23 hours locked down I'm gonna kick on the door cuss out the staff flash my dick
Starting point is 01:27:19 and all the other kind of shit so they ain't going to let me out you know what I'm saying but psychologically I was doing that homie because I needed something to interact with yeah uh nigger was too much on on my little brain homie uh uh yeah i had books to read uh it was 20 20
Starting point is 01:27:38 it was too much and you couldn't talk so yeah i would yeah so i would beat and kick on the door uh to make them come in and have to restrain right get some interaction somebody if talk to me if the babe boy says say if it's all right i'm just hollered somebody for the yeah so psychologically that's how i did that yeah uh but it would extend my time And once they figure out So once I started having to talk to psychiatrists and psychologists Yeah they figured that This little thing is playing
Starting point is 01:28:11 So I've been groomed I've been healed from childhood trauma I went through I had psychiatrists and psychologists to talk to at the drop-up a dime Yeah Therapy, group sessions So I'm really institutionalized Because I think I felt in the washing machine
Starting point is 01:28:28 When I was five years old I had to learn how to we walk again By the time I was seven I put my eye out And I had to have nine I surgery from the time I was seven to 12 So I really never got to go to school By the time I'm 14
Starting point is 01:28:41 I'm locked up for murder till I'm 21 I've been in a hospital from lockups So really you know So I learned how to learn systems But I'm wondering what your edge Because where the game come from Because I had a private tutor So I had a private tutor
Starting point is 01:28:55 So as far back as I can remember homie I never initially went to school I had a private tutor who would come tutor me at home. I was personally developed. Right. You see what I'm saying? And that's way better than that school classroom with 30 people. I had one-on-one teaching.
Starting point is 01:29:10 Yeah, that's different. It's shit in my brain. I don't remember where I learned about John Brown. I know about John Brown. They don't teach that in school. No, yeah. I had white. Yeah, so there's some point throughout my school years,
Starting point is 01:29:24 every year I had a private tutor. That's what a game come from. Then they teach you. how to learn. I tell my kids, though, it ain't about just knowing everything. It's about learning how to learn. In retaining what you have learned.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Retaining a bad. And you retain like a... I behind you quote books and quote shit. I'm saying that nick, pulling from shit high, too. That's what be getting me, because I don't stop smoking that is better, but you be high and talking shit and still can retain. What's in the data bank?
Starting point is 01:29:54 That's why you can't have conversations on low frequencies. because the low frequency don't have you go into the books don't have you going to the shelf case. You have some conversation with some people they'll have you put it into your fire cabinet and put a shit out that you didn't even know you had but it's in there because you want to read it
Starting point is 01:30:11 you want some seen it. So I've been giving so many books because I've always been good in English composition, reading and social studies. That's my strength. And comprehension. That's why I can talk.
Starting point is 01:30:23 I can articulate so part of your talking has come from what you didn't read. That's why I can't argue with it. Let me hear and read these books. I can go find a work. You know, so, yeah, I run, so, so, they've been shoving books in my face. I either been in a hospital or I've been in lockup.
Starting point is 01:30:36 Right. Been shoving books in my face. I don't really get to be free until I'm 21. Yeah. And get to explore this big old world. Yeah. I wasn't a criminal. I've been institutionalized.
Starting point is 01:30:47 What made you break the change? Now, before I get to that, what do you think about, what's the white boy name, 1090 Jake? I hate him. I hate him. I can't say this there should be a call of action to do something to him
