My g come on, man, and you know it's wild about it.

That's where that's funny you say that.

That's why I got to the minute, because them still some kind of storyline still exists to this day.

Now you look at Philadelphia, what's going on in the media.

I hate looking at it, but you know, I gotta be on there and the pump and do that stuff.

That's why my own foundation phase.

But it's kids that's really going through that right now.

Yeah, you're going through it.

I see people coming through and they got the uh they set up shop and the guys are talking about the pain that they going through and they cry and so that stuff's still going on to this day.

So that's what's happening to us when.

We's thirteen fourteen, So you know what I'm saying.

So when we where we at right now, we transitioned into from boys to men.

So now we you know, I felt like we had our obligation to come back at least try to save something.

Help.

That's right, man, And niggas know a lot of people, you know, the word on the internet is that Jay stole it from you.

They don't know that you actually was in the studio and created the record together, right, you know what I'm saying.

You know what I'm saying.

I mean it was one of the things we you know, we did.

I lend my pemouship to like.

But that's the big homie.

It's still anything you know.

I'm right, yo, man.

It was in the video we tour together.

We brotel Is when you just went somewhere you got the joint.

You did it, and it was like and you ain't got no credit on the record, Like you still got your rights credit, you know what I mean.

It's one of the things and it's.

Sad features how you steal something and I put your name right that's a lot.

Because it's my voice and everything on it.

So it still looked out.

So I was that man, that session I wasn't there for that wasn't there.

I wasn't there for that session.

What's doing the dynasty?

You probably?

Yeah?

And I think we was in uh he was working on the UH and he was in the eight room and I was in the b room working on the Owen Sparks album and I was doing give It to Me record and Uh.

Then Mac come over there, and Mac like what's going on there?

What you're doing.

I'm like, I'm grinding you do.

So we had the hook you go tell whole hole hair.

I was like, oh damn, like this joint.

And I was like, all right, well, you know we're working on the dicey.

I'ma be on it anyway, let me get it, let's go.

I was a team player on that one, you know what I'm saying.

So at the end of the day, we did the record with Forrel, which is the biggest, one of the biggest producers in the industry, and and the rest is history.

That's that, man, That's that's crazy.

Man, Like I never got to work with Forrell.

Just right there on the spot, I had a nor he gave me just like, there's that your chick.

I don't take that as me working with Timbo.

I got you.

I was just hum bleak put some verses on.

You know what I'm saying.

You know what I'm saying.

I want to sit there and work with these guys.

You got a chance to do that with one of the games and that night.

That's special, you know what I'm saying.

And that's that's you know, from our standpoint at that time, I didn't realize how a bunch of huge impact of this like on on on that side of things, because those are huge names.

You know, we taking up in the big home like for them, a big, huge name that we were young.

So you know, we didn't know that.

You know, it's a verity, but that's the books.

That's one thing I say, you don't know.

You make your history while you're doing you're doing it.

You're just going you know what I'm saying.

And that's how we did it.

So I did the relationship with you and Beans start for you to even become a part of state property.

I mean he was there, he was already there.

Yeah, Beans was already.

So I met them through through Black Friday, I think.

Yeah, mister piece real role.

Yeah, I mean Black Friday.

Black That's how we met.

So so Mac was over there already and then that happened.

And I think the uh, like the movie when we did stay Prop was like my twin.

Everybody like this twin.

You guys looking like you know, so I'm like, damn, you wouldn't say we like, you know, what's crazy?

Like the record?

You got what you think of that?

What you think I used to be running through the city didn't have a listen that what you think, so listen.

So when we did that, So we built a relationship on.

That though outside I just had to tell you that outside of that, because we was on that set in Jersey City for a long time.

Then we details of a hustler, so that took to the public.

That took to the public like crazy.

So and then we just grew a relationship.

It was up and down.

You know, It's one of them things that was rocky, you know what I'm saying.

But we got to know each other because you know, we're from different sizes.

Yeah, he's from South he's from a lot of people don't know, you know, Philly.

It might seem small, but that ship is.

Second just like geograph stuff like that.

Was like, but I got there.

I wanted some money.

I was thinking, like, Yo, let's get the money.

That's right, You've always been there, like like thinking, you know, forward thinking, like out of the crew.

Like I was talking about that outside, I was like, damn a save it for the part because you know, a lot of people want to know how we felt during the breakup and the line, and I was gonna say out of everybody that I used to tell yo, bro, this ship Yo, you're wild, and this ship might be going down.

You was the only one who used to be like em for real, nah em this shit they bugget.

We gotta get the big homies together.

Like anybody else used to just look at me be like whatever, I'm getting money.

I don't give a fuck what they do.

But you was definitely focused, like and we can't let this ship go, my niggah.

It hurt me.

Word out hurt me because I felt a part of something, you know what I'm saying.

Who you said?

It was like, ah, it's gonna happen.

It happen.

Then when we did that for the Dynance, it was.

Just I didn't participate in.

That, Yeah, And I felt that, like damn.

It was like no, because when I wrote the script, I'm like, you're making a movie up there, and then what's actually happening now, It's like, wow, I can't be a part of that.

But I want to tell you too.

Going back to State Property, you was the best actor in State Property.

Like Beans did his thing, but you bought beans character to life.

You made the movie what it was.

You was that guy man.

Yeah, because I had to, you know, they gave me my part.

They gave me that part I had.

The first we was getting news like if you you coming from the Red World, you better not be playing.

You're gonna take this.

So I took it serious.

But uh, thank you people, because I got two thumbs up from even Rupert.

I was like, well, yeah, man, I'm telling you, you did your thing in part one and part two.

So I was one day.

Did you ever try to, like audition for any other roles after Stay Property anything more serious?

I did, But you know what it was, it was indy.

You know what I had to learn about business.

Sometimes you could do indie stuff, you know what I'm saying, But it's union stuff out here too.

So it's business this, this, this, the politics and certain things.

It's just totally different, you know what I'm saying.

So with the breakup, because like with even with that movie, if I knew that really was going, I wasn't participating that.

I knew it was you was up to, but I couldn't my own going through the little other stuff.

But at the end of the day, with the as far as the movies and stuff, a lot of rolls came up.

But it was just like in the stuff instead of more cause I'm sagging union too.

You know what I'm saying, right when they coming that way talking to some super you know, some super numbers.

But I had to live and learn, you know what I'm saying.

I just wanted to stack my resume up.

That's right, man, It's never too old for acting.

Man.

I see you be out there in l A doing your thing.

Man, they definitely need to throw my guy those roles.

You want to see that action.

Check out State property man.

Everybody else in there was freestyling.

I felt like when I did scenes with you Zoo, it was like this motherfucker.

Really, I used to be saying that in my mind, like I'm over capping on camera, Like motherfucker.

You know what it is.

I gotta go and get a like an agent or something.

I try to manage my own life, and then people be in my life.

I'm always going through a crisis.

I always got some family crisis going and I'm going through it.

Then that that's where the business goes wrong.

That's what's yes, bro, trust me, I know you know I've been through it with my brother and all of that.

You know, shout out dre out here making moves right, yeah, man, suld definitely get real when the family issues come up and definitely deter you from your track.

How did you ever feel that you went, oh, never got a chance to drop the album?

Man, Like it was crazy because we was the first one there understood the circumstances.

But I think we could have.

Everything happened fast though.

This is what I learned about the business.

The money is coming in, you know, so so with us, it was one of the things like once whole say this is your summer, you gotta buckle down.

I know, I know I was a few as the wild card, but you've been nice to sleep in the studio and.

Go get dressed, y'all come back.

I got a whole album.

So that's why it's important for me to tell my side, you know what I'm saying, Because it'd be like you see a lot of stuff you turn on the TV, and it'd be like, hey, those guys are telling my story.

You know the money from it.

I said, call the guy, man, we gotta make some moves and make some money because the guys are actually making the money off telling my story.

And I and I'm like, whoa something gotta give?

That's right, and why you'd be like enough is enough?

That's right, man, Like they definitely tried to paint it out like you was the lazy guy in.

The cool I'm KIDM Johnson, y'all k dot Johnson in the records.

By the way, thanks sold for the look.

I'm on the joint, gave my credits.

That's right.

Like you was always on time interview studio, little Anna Edges.

But we all was young, bro, it was young.

You know what I'm saying having some money, yeah.

And that you don't having money.

They throwing money at you, jewelry, tore the girls on you, ass Like what you expect me to do?

I gotta crash out somewhere, yeah, I.

Said, you know what, that's why I'm back.

I want I want.

To get it off man.

That's right.

What's your what's your relationship with oh?

Now?

Man?

Well, I did try to reach out to him chop it up with about things, and I just can't reach back out to him and let him know you know how he felt, how he felt because I know how he felt about a few things.

And a few other guys reached out, you know, they ain't reached out to me.

I actually had him down at the foundation.

But they was running around doing anything with the movies thing, and I was doing that, so you know, I was busy doing that.

And that's all to be.

I'm in traffic, was rolling with damn hard like y'all.

Was like Dane definitely took part of state property a lot like y'all.

Because I know they worked in the mac whatever they worked out, I know that was and I guess that was his baby and his project.

And then we had dipse.

We had a lot of divisions over there.

We had get load dip set.

Then you got it was a lot going on.

We had MP Twister came up, so we had folks over there.

We had squat over there.

Joe Buddens was there for a minute and he was in the photo shoot with us.

I think.

Maybe I'm wrong, Joe, don't take this as a distant give me five minutes of slaughter on the show.

I wasn't at that show, baby, at that shoot.

But when I'm looking at but I was looking at the book, remember the rock book we had, And I thought I saw him in the photo shooting.

No, he was in the car photos.

I just never was there.

But Joe was always my dog.

I used to see him around just being with Clue in them.

You know what I'm saying.

That's right Clue.

Yes, you know Clue was down on the team.

Yeah, Clue, Clube, Duck and the Smoke.

I've been trying to get Flu up here.

You don't want to talk.

Don't want to talk.

Duck and the smoke.

Clue ain't gonna bring up tour days.

We ain't gonna bring.

That to get over whatever we went through, it's over, guys.

You know we had a weird showing people at the time.

We're going through things and trying to express ourselves.

You know, we had to get through these things.

The toys was crazy.

You had to be built for them.

Y'all started fast from the backstage, but it was a wild thing.

You came around that rock the mic.

Yo, Zoo used to be going crazy Zoo.

You're going Zoo, room Ship be a movie.

It was like Zoo.

What you got like I got them all from Randy Whatever you had had fun.

Fun Yo.

Do you feel like you missed out on any opportunity that you feel like you should have took more advantage of, Like.

You know, far As film, the music, the music that I'm not tripping.

I always got good records to put and plus plus the internet, you could just because not too long ago, I did an independent project and I flooded it.

It was just one of the things.

It wasn't the same as being.

With the game.

Yeah, I was looking.

I was going over some stuff that they do on my paperwork with some emails and stuff like that, and they were talking about it was computer savvy, but I remember doing things on paperwork.

That's right, you know what I'm saying, The kite and that, that kind of stuff.

So it was one of them things like it's different.

You know, I can adapt, but I got kids, you know what I'm saying.

So they the ones that and Daddy, you know, that's the problem people trying to undermine something because that's what we at and that's what we got generations for.

And that's who see it.

They see it.

They the ones who come back to you, Daddy, Why is this person saying this?

Daddy?

Why did this person do that?

Yeah, because at that part, with all the stuff going on, they say, Hey, but that's what's crazy about it, because that's why I had to get myself right, because they're paying attention anything else.

When I was wild, they was put up.

That's right.

Yeah, they was babies.

But now they're older.

They definitely because my son beyond me, Daddy, Why this person say this?

Yeah, they spun, they watch it.

So you got to conduct yourself in a decent manner.

That's a fact.

Man.

Like the Rock and Feller break up was one thing, but the state property breakup was another.

Man he felt about that.

Well, well, state, it was already a groups in sections already, you know what I'm saying.

So I felt like I felt like when when you start something, you ever start something and then they don't get finished.

I hated it, you.

Know, I hate it.

But somebody start something.

I want to finish.

So y'all started, I like to finish.

So that's where I come from.

So at the end of the day, it was like one of the bittersweet things, and I was like, hey, that's like a record, I really yeah, yeah, yeah, everything go back to the writing, you know what I mean?

When we didn't right, that's right, man, Definitely like growing up in Philly, man, Like we was talking outside.

You know, Philly is east west, No, it ain't no east, it's south west North.

German Town Southwest fish Town Town, Yeah, uptown Southwest.

I ran through.

I remember when I first met my wife.

I was driving through Philly and she was like, which way do you came, And I'm telling her the streets I came down and she like, yeah, you rolled up down bottom and I'm like, what's that.

She's like, that's one of the most gangster blocks in Philly.

I'm like, yo, you lying right, that's I'm from out west to bottom.

Man.

Yeah, that's right, that's right.

It's on the news the murder and everyone down there.

I think I gave it to him on State probably want member till Yeah.

Yeah.

I was explaining the guys what was going on down there and then yeah.

Man, like I wasn't growing up in Philly.

Like when you feel like, out of all the Philly spinners, you made your mouth, do you feel like you put your employ I love my Mark.

I love my Mark because it can't be like duper kids.

That's right, it's like one of them things they still trying.

That's even feeling everybody's pissed, hey, because hey.

Man, this is different.

You know what's going on?

So with my Mark, because you remember when that started, it was the flows was different.

Remember had that float.

I just straighted my own lane.

That's right, I love it always was the different one out of the rock.

But that got like the most love.

When we touched the stage, like Zoo, come on stage, the motherfuckers would go crazy.

You'll be like, yo, this nigga wrote this verse five o'clock in the morning, half sleep.

We was in there all the night trying to do this.

Ship because because we're coming from a place where if the underdog or something else, because be the guy that kicking and beating us up, they're doing they doing us filthy.

You know how many people world wid that's happening to.

So even if I'm in my element, that's my zone, and and and we put it out, you know it's gonna make something.

That's a fact.

Zoo, that's a fact man.

Like man, I missed the tour days, the studio days.

Man, we we had some hell of a fucking times.

Man.

Now it was my fucking guys.

I steal my bros.

To this day.

I hate to see where all of us is at that like, you know, at the end of the day, you know, beans, we got our differences.

I haven't spoke the sequel yet.

You and Bean still I've seen from time to time when we don't even really talk.

I try to go past this truck and.

Hang down.

Wanted to grab something and it was closed.

But it's crazy because they see all that, but we don't see each other.

That's why the bisness look crazy.

So so that's really what it is, you know what I'm saying.

It's like and that's cool.

That's why I did my own thing independent, you know what I'm saying.

I could sell my own stuff trademark patner, you know what I'm saying.

But twisted, I know that I'm still a brand.

I come from a major situation, that's right.

Yeah, Like you said, the heartbeat, you know what I'm saying.

You was the heartbeat of State problem bro, like the rock like all of us, bro, Like you definitely held it down for the crew.

Like used to be bombing on niggas yo, y'all bullshit, that's get to work, that's go to the studio.

Fuck these bitches yoat niggas playing fuck this ship.

Man, we ain't gonna have this ship forever.

Like you was definitely on that vibe.

If they give them that drive, that motivation work.

You know what I'm saying, come on, guys, because I felt I lift like we now, we don't know how long we're gonna be here, That's right.

So I lived like that, and and and the catalog shows you know what I'm saying.

So when everybody trying to pick on me and show me that kind of leg away in the rent, I'm like, I.

Get it, but where you at?

That's right, you see what I'm saying.

So that's that part with that.

So the State prop breakup, it's just one of them things.

I feel like with the game they supposed to.

You know, we s could have set at the table because what happens is if people still bringing it up, we're still in that hundred, that hundred top hundred jones of like fourteen fifteen because we part of rock didn't get around it.

So if it's still moves.

To make and everybody looks selfish, look crazy.

They look crazy, bro.

And you know, I don't want to bring up conversations, but I was just talking to certain people.

You know, free, my bro, I talk you free every day, right, you know what I mean?

Crack hit me the other day and crack like yo league, this ship going on.

I don't want to be a part of this.

I can imagine it.

I can imagine, like yo, crack, what's going on.

But my thing is where I'm coming at, because if somebody asks for y'all, that's what I told them to where so my thing with me it'd be like where we got a problem at because somebody bringing up all crap about some other stuff that watered that's under the bridges water of the bridge.

And if we're arguing about things that we shouldn't be arguing about, that's a little bit crazy.

To come on, bro, we can't all your about starting that happened twenty years ago.

But here we're grown, like everybody knew family that's insane.

These are things that left.

To make you get thick skin and so they make you wise.

And then the guy that passed down the book to him and say, look this how you move if you're a parent of any all over ship twenty years ago is insane, Like that ship is whack.

Like Crack definitely was like bleak, I ain't fucking with nothing.

I'm cool, I'm laying low up with the kids.

I don't want nothing to do with nothing.

I get it, like, but I definitely got to have a conversation with Beans, right.

I definitely got to to the to see.

It makes sense, you know, because y'all was gang like.

Y'all was the two that you know what I'm saying, that was there before.

So at the end of the day, that's a situation and you you know what I'm saying.

And you was like to him, how I am the whole you was to beings like you was there?

You know that me and Beans we put in a lot of work to brow togain on camera and just slid like be like yo.

I think Jay helped Bleak with all his raps like oh no, no, no that I was like.

I heard somebody stuff was talking about they get back to me and they be trying to pull me into them conversations like what it's like.

My nigga all them nights in the studio, squad like come on, came in there and said, who hold, don't even talk like that, Just come.

On, God, let's just get to the.

Yeah, man, like what's going on?

I think the Gang becoming ship fucked up a lot of things with us because we was before this and a lot of people don't know that when when you when you do something on the net.

This shit last forever.

There is go back in it.

There is no go back.

The only thing you can do, like we said outside, if the disrespect is loud, the apology gotta be just as loud's.

That's what I said.

Because I went back and looked at some of the clips and stuff like that, and I realized, Okay, we can't hide these things.

We can't do this and all that kind of stuff because I am in the public.

And when I realized that that, you know, somebody somewhere was trying to pull my jacket somewhere and I couldn't understand it.

I didn't get the men, I ain't get the memo, you know what I'm saying.

So I didn't know.

But at the end of the day that when you're putting it out there, it looked great.

So what public apology has to be made before we can do any business because phone calls are coming through.

But a public apology before we get the money.

Then we can get to the money.

If we're going to be publicly, because that's what.

Wrong right anyway, and that's what you see.

So at the end of the day, it's one of them things because a lot of stuff goes wrong with is somebody else's situation and you're trying to mirror it.

That's a fact.

So you know what I mean.

And I was always happy for my dogs.

Man, you was the movie guy.

You did State Property one two, Death of a Dynasty, and I believe you did Paper Soldiers too.

I get to do that when y'all had no They only put me on one clip.

Put me on one clip, and I ain't even want to do that.

I ain't even want to do that one.

I was like no, because I knew what was going down.

Man, And I'm like, niggas pulling me on both sides of the crew.

It is like, naw, I'm staying on one side.

Yo.

I'm one hundred percent believe in that.

I serve two masters.

No, that's your mind.

You going crazy, And that's what do you feel like?

State Property?

Like a lot of y'all win the split hap been went with that.

Now, I ain't went with nobody that said the split sheet came.

You know what I'm saying, because you remember I went home and did my payback out so so so if he doesn't have that's catch.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was the first.

My own million entertainment my.

Ship went the first one to drop it.

Yeah, yeah, I win did my own thing.

I was like, I'm just you know what I mean, just go through my thing because there was a lot of friction going on and that's what I was on anyway, and then you see me, if you saw me, it was like, all right, I was still bust move because y'all taught me a lot.

You know what I'm saying.

I learned a lot of top So.

I'm like, yo, I'm applying.

Y'all can see it.

If y'all you know what I mean.

If not, then you can't say.

I ain't give it a whirl.

But at the end of day, that's why I did my own independent album.

Like You definitely wasn't the non drama one.

Like when it came to business, I feel like you was the non drama one, right, But when it came down there, Yo, it's lively.

Called rights my fucking god, because I know he like zoom, he locked out, he knocked out, You got him security of the room breaking.

You ain't waking up.

You know that nigga was drinking drunk, a whole bottle of him to see last night, this nigga was going crazy yeah, yo, yeah, it was a rock star.

You was rather a fellow rock star.

Jesus kind of stuff.

You know, by the part of my life.

God, that was a part of my life.

What do you want me to do?

I thank god.

Sometimes I say we should have had social media, But for those nights, I thank god was did yeah missed?

If you understand, if you knew how that was going, Yo, the Knights in Miami, Like I remember when we went on the we went on the tour and we got to stop in Miami and fucking this is this is you probably don't even remember this.

This is when Bobby Dash was there.

We ain't gonna be out here doing no whole ship.

That's not That's not what we're about.

Man.

We ain't kicking nobody, and we definitely we can talk about the fun nights.

Were not gonna name the name, and I'm gonna be like, yo, I had Shorty over here, Shorty over you look like a major limit drive doing that.

You know what I learned about some of the business some people.

Some people is just different.

I was just explaining about it's good business and then you got bad business.

You understand.

Definitely the good business feel good.

You know that's right, that's right.

You gotta ship ain't doing but you mean me, your vibe is off and all that.

So, so you know what the firm believer that every dollar is not a good dollars, right, you know what I mean, money come from You can take money from good people and bad people.

I just came from Atlantic City, right, it was like it was like it went crazy.

But the guy had the whole layout for me.

I could have just you know, it's a difference, you know what I'm saying, that's one thing if I gotta raise my my pressure up and all that.

If I'm gonna say it's one thing I missed from back in the day.

You just bringing up Atlantic City.

I fucking missed the forty forty in the live, Yo, that's what fucking that man?

Step for what am I doing?

I was supposed to be what was't a problem?

Yo?

Whoa The forty forty in Atlantic City was Philly fucking had that was having what that was heaving for anybody?

Yo, forty forty You know, I'm telling you.

You went up there, it was like across across the table were trimming.

We had flow and then and that was just starts spot.

That was the spot.

The forty forty and fucking Atlantic City.

Man, what a fucking time.

Atlantic City is not what it used to be.

Man, No, it's different.

Was going to need more.

I think I think we gotta get back out there.

Yeah.

They did they ship yeah at the casino.

Okay, he redeveloped right now, it's a good time to invest in Atlantic City.

Yeah, some big ship, big big, big, big moves happening.

Man.

Yeah, niggas got some bread to.

Play with, ana, because we need that good business back, that's right, and because if you give it to bad business, the world starts to cross.

Oh yo, it's a lot of That's when I woke.

Up, and that's what I say.

I got to call him that the world's falling apart, looking at the world's falling.

What's going on here?

Update me, Update me on everything, man.

And one thing too, my platform, bro, like all of us as brothers, but watching my dogs crash out.

But I'm yeah, no, y'all see you.

That's why you you always been who you are.

You sparks, You the life of the party, you have your fun time.

You're a businessman, your family man.

You're an entrepreneur, you're an activist.

Now your fucking movie star like a fucking rapper, entrepreneur, you're doing business like come on, bro, they need to.

Know this ship and that's what that's why you got to be on the right platform.

That's right, because the crash out of somebody that you actually you feel like you care and you love for, that's not your homie, that's the street.

Like I've been in the hood, I've seen guys at say I love you and love you that ain't love.

No, I don't do that.

I come.

I know about it.

So you know, I'm gonna treat it just like it's one of mine.

You know what I'm saying.

The fact that's how I move.

So, yo, what's next for zoo man?

What's the next move?

I want to do someone, I want to do something of course, film, you know, and I've been writing.

Of course, I've been writing, you know.

And I.

Just shot another movie and accompliss accomplish and that was a sag joint.

So you know, I'm trying to get my feetbackack.

And there I ran into a few guys and it was like things that just really got to get rectified on the business end, because it's it's business.

It's unfinished business that nobody's talking about, acting like it doesn't exist, and it's it's and it shows up.

That's a fact.

So that's why I was talking to the guys.

It's not that you ain't gonta worry about me on that.

And you see what I'm saying, And that's what the problem is.

And then we just gotta be able to talk and hash things out and and say, hey, man.

I was I was out of order at that for that.

That's right, I was wrong, and all.

Right, now we can move forward because that part of it ain't always about that money.

Like you said, it's respect level too.

Who you feel like you want to have this conversations with that's upt.

Some of the guys and the gang.

You know what I'm saying, Oh free who else?

Who else need to have this conversation?

Uh?

Dame?

You know what I'm saying, Dame for for sure.

Uh all those guys.

So at the end of the day, they owe you that, you know, they owe you that.

Everybody.

So it's like me and Big Homer, we catch up, you know what I'm saying, because that's my big dog.

But you know I would love to.

See Big Homie just to say what up?

Yeah?

Yeah, but you you you said you wanted to have a conversation, like certain things need to be rectified, like that ship.

If it's something need to be rectified with a whole week, let's pull.

Up right right right, But yeah, that's but that's what he did for me.

I'm fucking yeah.

So it's like I like the business, so it's like hey man, you know, hey, how you doing?

That's right?

Yeah?

Right?

But definitely like all the brosnah free oh Dame right, niggas should never be a time that you feel like you need to have a conbo and you can't have a convo with the bros.

Niggas gott to pick up the phone.

I heard.

I've seen Dame say a kind say something that you know a lot of people wasn't picking up the phone for him.

Only person picked up the phone was bleak.

And same thing with Oschino oh going through what he going through, the gods going what they going through.

But niggas know when they hit bleak line bleak like this, you know what I mean?

And that's what everybody because I feel like if niggas got anything they want to get off their chest.

To me, I'm a man first, man.

All that other shit is secondary.

Man, Like we're gonna holler because at one point in my life, I consider all your niggas my brothers.

Like that came from my mother.

See yeah, you hear it.

You know what I mean.

The spirits is selling them.

You gotta.

But that's all it is, and that's what it is with us, you know what I'm saying.

And that's the problem.

Yeah, man, this is we, like you said, nobody robbing nobody.

Man, So if I have put that crap, yo, you ran the native trying to chase the dag.

That's that was my conversation.

You know.

I had that talk when I had to sit down before with Cam.

I'm like your Cam or some g ship, if you really put down what we went through in this business, right, nobody got slapped, nobody got shot, nobody died, nobody kicked nobody, nobody dog, nobody kid got slapped.

So you know what happened.

We just had an argument over beats right right.

It was like, you know, I ain't never think about it like that, right.

Because like Nigga's like business.

It's like we know people on top and we know what we're doing, but it's like we all instrumental in it.

And that's all we wanted to be recognized for who we are getting off fishing, that's.

Right, man.

And you, like I said, Zoo, you're a major part of the Rockefeller You're a major part to your community and my life doing yeah, man, all of all of my life.

So that was that's another part.

So that's what they going wrong with me because it's gonna always be a serious situation because I took a tax because when I'm running around telling God, hey, y'all playing with it.

It changed my life.

It taged everything, It tast my whole world, helped me feed my kids, pick me up.

One thing I would say to you, saying, you writing like a lot of shows, a lot of movies, should you should you should write a movie about your life.
