What's up?
Speaker 2And welcome back to another episode of No Sealers Podcast with your hosts now Funk that with your low glasses Malone.
Speaker 1Where y'all can finish, y'all, Uh, y'all, y'all t a conversation talk.
Speaker 3Talk wow like that King, you don't like neggative stereotype.
Speaker 1You don't think you a part.
Speaker 3Here, connoisseurer.
Speaker 4It's not stereotype, you know, connoisseur.
Speaker 1Why y'all think?
Why y'all think people can't admit when they be addicted to wig?
Speaker 4We ain't talking about something else?
Speaker 1Now, that's you can't be addicted to weed?
Speaker 3You know, No, King, people could be addicted to anything if they want to.
Speaker 5That's a cop all, but it's it's true.
Speaker 4That is right.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think I'm addicted to See.
I don't think I'm addicted to weed, but somebody else might say I think you are because you smoke so much.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
But I could probably walk away and not smoke if I don't want.
Speaker 4To, but I want to.
Speaker 5Yeah, you start selling, gives my choice?
Speaker 2You start at what point?
You don't think people that want to smoke crack me?
Just like and not to compare the too, because I obviously.
Speaker 3Compared the two, because I'm just gonna go back to the mental state of people.
You know, addiction to me goes back to the mental strength that people have.
Speaker 1So what's the mental strength?
Speaker 3I mean, if you weak and stuff, you'll be addicted to stuff.
If you're strong, then you could walk away from something.
It's just that simple.
Speaker 1Yeah, But how would you know if you could walk away from something if you never had to.
Speaker 3Hey, if you try and don't walk away from it, then you're weak and it's bad for you.
You're weak.
Speaker 1But how would you know if you never challenge yourself to walk away from I smoke weed and I could walk away or not.
Speaker 3How do you know that leave an absence was your leave absence?
You know, there's a couple of times I took a leave of when smoking weed.
Well, a couple of times, you know, for a few weeks while incarcerated.
Speaker 4It's not.
Speaker 1Cracking jail old.
Speaker 3Oh, you can still trust me.
I smoked weed in jail prison.
You can do all that.
Speaker 4You know.
Speaker 3There's times out here that I took a leave of absent when I just didn't have the money to buy some weed.
You know.
I mean, come on, I didn't freak out and start robbing motherfuckers and ship for some weed.
Speaker 2It was like, know that everybody don't do that.
People that be addicted the liquor don't be robbing people.
Speaker 3I don't know, they'd be drinking rubbing alcohol and ship cheeseburgers.
Speaker 4Man, yeah, you know everything.
Speaker 3You ain't gonna turn a nice smoke into, you know, dressing the scum of the world.
You know, come on, man, stop, it.
Speaker 6Did everything that you name.
It comes within a physical withdrawal though.
You know what I'm saying, when the cracker, the crack crack at, it stops, stops doing crack to get a physical with draw dope thinking physical withdraw like that.
You know what I'm saying, I'm getting on physical withdrawal from those stop smoking weed that don't happen to me.
Speaker 5How long have you stopped, because it does happen.
Speaker 4It happened.
I stopped.
I stopped for years, I stopped long ago, absence, just a while ago, a while ago.
Speaker 5But the stuff, it is real potent, man like.
That's another reason why, like it'd be too much.
Speaker 3Man Like.
Speaker 5I had to stop because it was it was taking me out of commission.
It wasn't like it when I was eighteen, you know what I'm saying, garbage smoking that it was good stop.
Speaker 3We had, you know, get a bad name for because of Bama, Bamer.
Speaker 4We cush was from the backyard.
Backyard.
Speaker 5Uh, no ceilings but yeah that low I could.
Speaker 2I couldn't do it, No ceilings, glasses log I got my big brother King, I got my brother trapped, one of my favorite, one of my favorite, and I got one of my favorite streamers podcasters.
Speaker 1Personalities on the internet right now, read my soul.
Speaker 5Appreciate to read appreciated, appreciate.
Speaker 1So now today Band from Blat TV has came out right and it's available everywhere.
Speaker 2So if you listen to this podcast you haven't heard it, go to your favorite streaming app stream band.
Speaker 1From blat TV.
Speaker 2It's a weird idea kind of tells the story of how me and DJ Vlad met, how we started to come up together and where we had our problem.
Speaker 1Man, while we don't communicate now, it's a.
Speaker 2Very in depth story and uh it's really all the truth.
I ain't I didn't put nothing on it, like, I didn't make it any worse or any better.
Than it had to be no different than making two Problemas die.
It's that kind of story.
I call it novel rap because it's so it's so nuanced, like it's it's it's so detailed.
Speaker 4I got in.
Speaker 1You know, I didn't leave nothing to the imagination.
Speaker 2You could, you can see the idea, but you don't have to figure out nothing else, like it's all there.
Speaker 3He said.
Call it novelty rap.
Trap might put your in literature poetry category.
Hey listen, man, you wanted to be in the hip hop category.
Speaker 4You call it.
No, no, no, it's not.
Speaker 1It's not true, but not novelty novel novel hip hop.
Speaker 4Hip hop is.
Speaker 3Category though not hip hop category.
Speaker 6No, no, you can't, because hip hop comes from storytelling.
Man, you know what I'm saying.
It's always been that though.
Speaker 5That's one of my favorite songs, Like the first I would say, the first rap that I really memorized the whole thing was slick with children's story.
Speaker 6That's my that's my too, that's mine too.
That's the first song I remember a word for word, and.
Speaker 5I mean I think my mom the first time I saw it was my mom and my aunt was doing it.
They did like a B E T.
It was like maybe two thousand and two, two thousand and maybe they did a B thing and this was years after, but it was like the first one that I remember, like learning from front to back, like from that day, I remember them.
I remember my mom and my aunt was ran upstairs to the top floor and they was looking at each other.
I was like, oh okay, I was test.
I was like okay, like yeah, so I love that whole, Like I love that.
Like I have a list of like storyteller songs that I'm like, yeah, like what's the best storyteller songs?
And that nothing really beats that.
I mean it could really.
Speaker 1One song that beats that.
Speaker 4I know what you're gonna say, tell him what song it is?
Speaker 3Bro, Well, you know what sto it is?
Speaker 4Tell him?
Speaker 6I know what song you're gonna say, just the friend.
You're gonna say that beat in New York, right, what you're gonna.
Speaker 1Say, Oh that yo, Dad is a good your Probably.
Speaker 2I think I think they're both as iconic, and I think one is a more popular.
Speaker 5Story that maybe the second one I learned back to back.
Speaker 4That's the beat, that's the beat that gets that one.
Speaker 1It's a story Trapped.
Speaker 4It's the story, but it's the beat that captures you to love with that when it comes to that.
Speaker 1Th Regulator is a really popular story too.
Speaker 5Regulators that beat.
Now, I could give you that track and everybody know what happened, what happened to and like, yeah, they they don't.
Speaker 3And that's that.
Speaker 4That's another one on my t.
Speaker 2Story Wrapped, Like I'm I'm pretty good at that.
So telling this story was different.
Speaker 4It was it was.
Speaker 2Like I didn't even know if I wanted to tell the story.
It's just the relationship got worse and worse, you know what I'm saying, Like they got worse and worse and worse, and nothing really bad happened.
But I could tell he was making a cognitive effort to avoid things where he probably could have said glasses this or you know how all right of a nigga, I am, but I guess in his mind, I guess I'm not.
So it really just pressed me to just be like, you know, the same thing I'm doing all these Digital Maxi singles, I mean, these digit Maxi singles.
So it was like, Okay, this would be a good idea to make people listen to multiple chapters of one song, I mean of one idea.
Speaker 5So that was that was like one of my first questions, What made you do that?
Speaker 3Now?
That is it?
Speaker 4Because I.
Speaker 5See the visuals right off rip like like you said, it's all there.
And I'm a very visual person when I because I do video treatments.
That was kind of like my entry way into the industry.
It's just doing video treatments.
I've been sent a bunch of early stuff.
It wasn't really sent to me, a sent to my homeboy, but we was working together.
And so every time I hear a song, I like to automatically think about the visuals of a song.
And yeah, so with your first that's how No.
I was introduced to you way back in the day.
That's how it was reintroduced you with the two Must Die and then you just did this last one with the Jurassic Park five.
So that video very visual.
Is you know you got the fake drinking their you know, real dope.
I'm wearing the shirt sketch all his shirt right here now, So yeah, what like why this one?
Why?
Speaker 4Now?
So as.
Speaker 1The whole thing with the Digi Maxi single is.
Speaker 2Like, right, is I understand where they want to pay the bit how they want to pay the business, how they want to pay for records, Like I get where they're at.
Speaker 4And it's like.
Speaker 2Historically the medium that songs were presented on determine the type of songs you would make.
This is like the first time in human history to me where excuse me, a recorded music history, rather that that's not being thought of, Like I mean when you think about shr lack records like old seventy eighths, the hard ones, like they would make them based off how you would hear them, the forty five, you know what I mean, Ray Charles, Like, not only did it actually encourage the length of the record, you know the length of the recording, but even how you record it.
Think about it, like when you listen to Doctor Dre and Snoop, A lot of that stuff was made for the car because of the compact disc.
Like music had went mobile by that point at a different pace than it did, you know, coming when it came from conss to here.
It was like fully mobile, like you could walk down the street with it, you could put it in your car.
So now that streaming app is a real thing, right, you have this this new way of digesting music.
But we're all doing these very old concepts or these old formats of how we make records.
So the idea for the Digy MAXI single was like, Okay, I can't.
We can't be in a business at a fraction of a cent.
If one person plays a song, that's not a viable business.
So it's like, okay, how do I get more money out of this outlet?
How do I get more money?
And it was like, okay, well, I could fix the business if I'm able to take an idea and stretch it across multiple titles.
Speaker 1But then how do you make it interesting?
Speaker 4Right?
Speaker 2So you don't cheat the fans?
Right cause I could take I got a hundred songs that I never put out.
I can just take those songs and chop them up.
But it's like, nah, let me challenge the ideas, right, let me not use the same hook.
Let me not make it repetitious.
Let me make it like every like.
If you listen to that idea every last chapter, there's new instruments in each you won't hear it instantly, but the more you listen to it and layers, it builds up into more and more and more and more.
Speaker 4You know what I mean?
Speaker 1And then the story.
Speaker 2So in this particular song, right, like with Wanted, it was each verse right like you if you want to hear Charlie Toney, you listen all the way through to because Charlie is like amazing, right, so you had to go through it.
Speaker 1Well, this one is the same thing.
Like it's like, okay, you.
Speaker 2Hear this, you hear this opening, right, and then you hear this, you hear me set the stage for the conflict, and then you hear the conflict and you know what I mean.
So now there's a reason to get through all the titles.
So now it's not like I'm just I'm not trying to take no money.
I'm allowing streaming apps to push me creatively to make different records, like new records, like you know, something that hasn't been made, and there's not a lot of records like this.
Speaker 1I think ice tea kind of six in the morning.
It's kind of like this, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2But it's like you don't hear people take the time to do a Martin scorseseast type of rap, whereas like, not only do you set the stage for people to understand and then you set the problem, but you also wrap it up with an epilogue to bring it all.
Speaker 1Home, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2So, I'm allowing streaming apps to push me creatively, to break away from, you know, the standard record that Ray Charles created, the forty five inspired Ray Charles created a pop record.
I'm allowing streaming apps to kind of push me into like a new wave of like how do I make records that are entertaining but yet cater to these mediums?
Speaker 1Why Vlad?
Speaker 4Now?
Speaker 3Why you want to address this story?
Have people ask why you haven't been on.
Speaker 2The show or Yeah, they asked me all the time, and so this is how you want to address it to people?
Speaker 1Yeah, I hear that all the time.
Speaker 3Really, really, why Vlad Now?
Speaker 2There's not anybody specifically like I'll write a record about me and trap walking through Harlem.
Speaker 1I don't think there's no crime in it.
Yeah, you know, I get it.
Speaker 2In this song people could kind of frown And I don't know because in my mind I handle Vlad with care in the song, like I didn't just shit on him.
I didn't just say a bunch of bullshit about him, And it was like, here's our circumstances, here's how I wanted to handle it.
Speaker 1Here's what our relationship is now.
Speaker 3To one day say it's time for me to try to resolve this.
Speaker 2No, it was just at that point now when I'm I'm looking for ideas that can cover multiple titles on the on the playlist, It's like, now I need something that's that's interesting.
How do I set the stage?
How do I how do I talk about somebody that you would know?
Like if I just make a story about my homeboy fifty from my neighborhood, right, you don't know fifty, So then I'm banking on you listening to me and giving the chance.
Versus if I tell you a story about my relationship with somebody you knew, you know what I mean, then you could really get a chance to It's like trap, Like how we use samples, samples Like we were just talking about it right now with today was a good day, like hearing that's between the sheets?
Speaker 4No, that's.
Speaker 3Is that Curtis?
Speaker 4Then that's Curtis curtisys.
Speaker 1Today it was a good day.
Speaker 2No, No, anyway, the sample itself, right, is like that allows you to receive the story.
Speaker 5That he's telling you.
What steps who steps in the dark, what steps in the dark that you go.
Speaker 2So it's like that allows you, that simple break allows you to now digest the story that cub was trying to tell you.
What it's like now is like, Okay, if you know the two characters, if you know the two principal the the two principles involved, now you could focus on the story like damn, okay, this is with glasses and this is with black.
So it was a combination of things.
It was I needed to tell a story that people were familiar with.
The principles no different than two part must die.
Like that's a familiar principles.
And then here's a familiar culture cripping.
And then here's a familiar person, Tupac.
This is how these two things collide.
Well, here's the same kind of thing.
This is dj vladd.
You know, one of the biggest faces in media.
Here is glasses Malone.
This this cultural you know, this cultural genius to some degree, right, this cultural icon, you know, I mean as far as in this culture.
Speaker 1And here here's a conversation.
Here's a relationship.
Speaker 2Normally, like you may not tell a story because you're worried about losing a relationship.
Speaker 1And the truth is it is like you know, it's already lost.
Speaker 5I mean yeah, shit, I mean.
Speaker 1Yeah, like you know what I'm saying.
But I didn't think it was.
I didn't think it was nothing.
Speaker 2Like like I could tell you some stories about people.
I can tell you stuff about rappers that got bullied in front of me.
I can tell you rappers that they got punked in front of me.
I can tell you stories of all kind of crazy shit.
So it's not none of those stories.
Speaker 4This story is.
Speaker 2About somebody to me outside of the culture, right, but it's very much adjacent to the arts, right, Okay, Like he was a mixtape dj, he was adjacent to the arts, so he was taking songs, putting them on his mixtape.
He was good at marketing, he was able to share them and get him everywhere and then his glasses.
Right, this is this street urban culture like like like prodigy to some degree, I mean, not not necessarily artistic like a NAS, but like the culture itself, like a prodigy in it, like I could, like, I get it, I fuck with it.
Speaker 1I'm heavy in it.
Speaker 2Currently NODS is like a prodigy in the art itself, you know what I mean.
I'm like the culture itself, like I live it, like we all.
Speaker 3Heard it, right, we all heard the song.
Speaker 6Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3My question is do you think he is go get offended?
You know, not by the first part, but by the last part of re exposed maybe his most deepest pain to the whole.
Speaker 4World of what as far as what oh with the girl?
Speaker 3You can tell you okay, of walking in and catching this girl being pounded by somebody else, that that could be there no ask a questions, getting sure sure feelings and stuff about that.
Speaker 2Maybe maybe you know what I mean, maybe maybe maybe if it's if it's something he tried to hide, yeah it could.
Speaker 1It could definitely have him pretty mad at me.
Speaker 4That's what see.
Speaker 3I think I feel like as if you know what I'm saying that I say no, but when you go open up the door of his you know sure you're still with her?
Right?
Speaker 1I'm not sure?
But I mean yes that that that might be the most raggedy part of it all.
Speaker 4Like that.
Speaker 2That's what makes this different than Tupacmuns dies, because two park Muns die is there was nothing that could happen.
This is a person that passed away.
Here's these people that kind of dealt with it.
The only personal lodge steal made a situation where at least he thought he couldn't deal with it.
But obviously he's in a bunch of sh it now.
So that fucked it up now, which I wouldn't have made the fun is sound.
And then frohow ended up back in the ship.
But what if they put what did they put your song in the court case?
Speaker 1That ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 4You never thought about that though I thought about it.
Speaker 5Yeah, little key, that crazy.
Speaker 3That never.
Speaker 1But the thing is, I always know that Keithy gave me permission.
Speaker 6Yeah, I'm saying he already told the story of before that though, he told the story, And I did.
Speaker 2Just make a story without talking to him and some homies from over there, those that I know from over there, you know, to.
Speaker 1Make sure that sue glasses or something trapped, But how could you sue me?
Speaker 5Like what I'm saying, Like he already told the story.
Speaker 1He told, told the story to the post, He talked about Black.
Speaker 6Keef, He told the story to the police, told the story to Black, told the story for a book.
Speaker 1I heard you that's in peace.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2So the dude that Dumac played in the car, it was it was a solid older hummy, like he was a little older than me, but he was a solid hummy.
Speaker 3Let me ask you a question, are you afraid or do you think lab because he's got a history of using the courts to come back as somebody, you think he'll do a drake?
Speaker 1No, I mean it's not impossible.
Speaker 3I just don't and all that stuff.
Speaker 1But how would I be defaming him?
Speaker 3You know, I'm just saying though he was the famed and well, I.
Speaker 2Mean he was accusing because he felt like he was called, you know, a PDF on the song.
You know he sued the record label.
But I don't know if I'm not saying black, what would that make black?
Speaker 6Like?
Speaker 4What did I call it?
Speaker 1Blad in the song?
Speaker 4The thing about it is.
Speaker 1Messing around?
And if you joy, if you enjoyed, you cut right back to her.
Speaker 3What you thought that in the streets?
Speaker 4Call it?
Speaker 1And what you called that the streets trap?
Speaker 6What if you if you if you enjoy watching your watching your lady get get slapped by somebody, go.
Speaker 1Right back to her and everything's okay?
Speaker 3What you call that?
Speaker 4Call that a sucker for love?
Right there?
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1No, I didn't call him that though, he didn't.
Speaker 4He didn't.
He did.
Speaker 6I don't think of her friends.
I don't think with enough song at all.
You you you try to like.
The thing about the song is the fact that it's all true.
You know what I'm saying.
Nothing, there's nothing fabricated, there's nothing made up.
You know what I'm saying.
It's the truthful sirt.
So when he hears the song, he and he it's gonna bring him back to a moment of time that he probably tried to forget about though, you know what I'm saying.
And that's within every action, every chapter, within the song, though he tried to forget about all that, you know what I'm saying.
From the I don't want to.
I mean we could for the song gonna be out by time to come out though.
So even when it comes down to the to the the ship in Miami, whatever he was with the rhit though, what I'm saying in Houston though, and I'm saying, it's gonna just bring them back to probably moments of time that you probably try to forget about it and stuff like that.
But nah, but I mean, listen, man, it's the truth though.
Speaker 5And see this is where this is the question the main question I have, since we kind of already put it out there.
For one, I hear what you talk about glasses with because you're talking about retention rate.
You're talking about how long you can keep people on the apps, and so when you're doing this long story, it makes people listen.
And the longer you can keep people on his apps, the better.
So it's the two things that I hear when I'm focused on my YouTube stuff.
And when I'm focused on my stuff, it's how long people are watching.
And you know what my click through rate is, right, like how many people like what they see the thumbnail?
How many people clicking through.
But the main thing is retention is how long you're keeping people on these apps, because that's how they're gonna pay.
On YouTube, you you cut mid roll by at eight minutes, right, so you want your videos to be at least eight to ten minutes, you know, I usually try to keep minds eight to fifteen.
So that that's one thing.
So I hear you when you're saying that, and I think that's hope, because you made me listen to a five minute song within the last what hour, two hours?
Like four or five times, just so I can hear everything.
No, really that that's good.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's what you want because you want people to be like, oh okay, word.
So that's how you get paid nowadays.
How long you keep on people on That's why everybody go podcast because I mean, if I can keep you on a page for two hours, we're gonna get all the money.
So that's one thing I'm hearing.
But my thing to you, Glasses is because I don't think anything is bad on Flat, And I think you wrote that with kind of the intentions, because yeah, we know Flat.
Everybody knows Lad right like we know who Lad is, right.
I don't think anybody say anything new about her.
I don't think Abdy gonna be like, oh, you know, he's the fame of Flat.
Everybody in the fame Flat and worst ways.
Sure, But my thing is what made you bring Vlad to the hood?
Then this is my main question.
Speaker 3So we're a great question.
Speaker 5So that's fine.
What did you see in Blad to put your arm around him and give him the past?
Because clearly what you're saying is that he you knew, like and that's another question.
You kind of knew.
You said Homie was going to start feeling himself and start thinking he was the low right, So that's my thing.
What made you put your arm around Lad and bring him to the hood and give him this pass?
Because that's really the man.
So when i'm so, I'm I'm with Black Wall Street at this time, Okay, gang Gang, he shout out the face g RII everybody, all the homies.
But he's this mixtape DJ from the Bay Area, staying in LA.
His mixtapes are popping on the scene right You're starting to hear about him, called itself Vlad the butchert and it was like okay, And he took some of my songs and put him on his mixtape.
And I noticed that people was hearing the song, so I understand he understood marketing.
So we met on Brazil and he was telling me he was launching this Blad TV thing and he's like, man, I want to get you on Blad TV.
And I'm like, okay, cool, Like you know, we already starting exchange music.
He giving me looks on his tape.
Speaker 2I'm giving him exclusive songs, Chuck giving him exclusive songs.
So it's like okay, So I bring him on the seven and I have him, you know, my homies date looking at Robbie, you know what I mean, Like, who is this?
Speaker 4Yeah?
Speaker 1Yeah, that was one of the earth.
Speaker 2If you look at the earliest Blad TVs you go back to two thousand and five six, except on I'm on him right because it's like I'm on them because it's like, uh, like I was early on it, so it really was.
I didn't think of it as anything.
And at that time, Vlad was still acting street.
Speaker 1Like Blad was.
Speaker 2Remember this whole shit with Rose, like he was popping it to Rose online.
Like if y'all don't notice, like when Blad talk now, he kind of talks tough, you know what I mean, Like it's just how he talked, you know what I'm saying, Like he he talked like he on action.
And it's like and I think maybe at that time maybe he would have been down.
I mean, obviously with the Rick Ross shit, it proved otherwise.
But I'm saying I thought he understood those things.
But a pistol asking me to borrow a pistol is another level.
It ain't like bringing you to the neighborhood and making sure homies don't take advantage of you because they deep or one person or having your back loaning your pistol.
Now, I mean I'm I'm you playing with my freedom.
That's how I looked at it.
Not only are you playing with your freedom?
Speaker 1You know what I mean?
Speaker 2You playing with my freedom because if you these people shake you up and ask you where you got this gun from, and you then told him that you taught me what you just finna do I get the same time for some pussy ill never got, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4So it's like.
Speaker 1That that it wasn't so much bringing him around the way.
Speaker 2He was already coming the conference, So I was just dragging him the watch to do certain things, and it was dope.
It was definitely a mutual benefit relationship, you know what I'm saying.
But you know, asking me for a pistol to ball a gun is just different.
I mean, that's like serious, and that's where it was wrong.
That's where it went different.
That right there on, that was it, you know what I'm saying.
It was like, it's funny because my older homie plucked right.
Like I remember the first time I got to some ship and I asked the ball gun that Nigga said you had to go steal your own first gun, like I stole mom, give me no fucking gun, nigga, you got some money too, go by your own fucking gun.
And I remember taking up.
I went and bought my own gun.
So that became my mentality.
That lesson is a lesson that I took with me, let alone for a blast somebody who you know, not saying.
I didn't look at him like a I didn't look at him like a punk or nothing, but like you not street, you know what I'm saying, Like, and you're not street, Like you don't give me street.
I mean you you give me like you may not be a buster or you may not you know, you may not be like you know whatever, but popping somebody is different.
Speaker 1Yeah.
So yeah, asking me for a gun was just crazy.
Speaker 2You know.
Speaker 1It's like being mad that I didn't give you the gun is even more crazy.
Speaker 4Yeah, I think with the.
Speaker 6With the what I caught from it though, was the fact that you didn't want to You didn't want to give him the gun to go get another black man though.
Me.
Speaker 2Yeah, that bothered me too that it sounded you got to where we're from, like it is very few white people and I mean very few, like to.
Speaker 1Like that's Compton and wats that's both places.
Speaker 2Like I got one homeboy named Snow from the seven like, and then I got another white man that I know of that that I don't even know, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1That's how many white people.
Speaker 2Like he like a like a legend in the name of gang banging, but you don't really know him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1Those the only two white people.
Speaker 2I know, you know what I mean, like that that be around us.
So then like Laddie was like, you know that shit just sounded crazy, Like what give you a gunna do?
Speaker 4What?
Speaker 3You know what I mean?
Speaker 1And I'm thinking, like, I got it.
Speaker 2I can hear the emotions.
Obviously he was crying.
I can hear the emotions, right, I get it.
But it's like, first off, I gotta protect you from yourself too.
I'm offering you to come.
I mean, I'm offering you to come, and uh like I'm I'm gonna make you get a fair one with Homie.
Speaker 3So you're offering to go with.
Speaker 2Him, I'm like, technically, come over there and make sure you can fight the dude head up, you know what I mean, Like you trying to come get a burner, like this is serious.
I'm like, I'm not giving you no fucking gun.
That's just a lot, you know, I mean the context of what happened, who was involved.
And remember remember like this is sister you know he dating.
Oh yeah, so it's like, oh, I guess an, I'm feel to give you a gun to pop up.
Speaker 5Brother.
Speaker 1I just that's just not a confident watch thing to do.
I get it.
Speaker 2I know read I nigga said tell me all the time about gang banging and klu Klux Klan and all this.
Oh shit, it ain't that type of party, you know what I mean, Like you could have a problem, but I'm not helping.
Speaker 1No, you know, no white man do something too.
That's just crazy under no.
Speaker 4You know what I mean.
Speaker 3No, like nothing like.
Speaker 2Even when my homeboys Snow, Like when Snow we would walk to the Pj's and Snow would get into it with this nigga from PJ Crip and Snow had to fight every We're not finna help you fight this black man like you gotta fight him and fighting yourself, you know.
Speaker 3What I mean.
Speaker 2Like so I don't know, man, it's just they got worse and worse and now to the point like if somebody bring up my name feel me.
Speaker 4It's like.
Speaker 5Somebody bring up my name is like you know, I can see that this thing like I can see it's like you know what I mean?
Speaker 2And so when we do tupac mus digter, ho'my recommend like the homie that know what happened homi.
He's from Central California.
He's from the coast of Central California, and he knew what happened in real time.
And he brought up to me like, hey man, like, why why you won't do blad for this two part?
Speaker 1Months died?
Speaker 5And I'm like, and I ain't even talked to Black and wow.
Speaker 2You I mean I didn't even think to do the show.
Yeah, and I never thought about it.
I didn't think he was mad or nothing.
Still, I just hadn't talked to him.
I'm thinking we just hadn't talked.
That's when I realized back in twenty nineteen that he was still mad at me.
Speaker 1This is why I haven't talked to him.
Speaker 3Was a response to, how'd you know what happened?
Speaker 1He said, He's still mad.
You didn't give him that gun?
Speaker 4Oh wow?
Speaker 1Still like shit?
Speaker 3Ok?
Speaker 4He told he told me that ship.
Speaker 5Yes, wow, cause it's me because I remember talk about this.
Was I just tripping no other.
Speaker 2People about it on band from Blad, on me on Black TV, but like Nick Cannon brought it up.
Different people brought it up, but he would never And then I realized, like between different people trying to talk to him, like oh, like this nigga really mad at me.
Speaker 5And I'm like, Nigga, this is almost twenty years ago, read like, why are.
Speaker 4You still mad?
Speaker 2Like Charlotta Mane was just on this platform the other day and he was like, man, my boy glasses and just to I was like.
Speaker 4He went over that.
Speaker 6You listen, he went over that shit.
So Glad, hey, Glass, I said, this is crazy.
Timer right now, I said, cause Charlamagne up on Blad right now, said I'm about to watch it.
So I watched him.
It's like ten minutes into the interview.
Ten minutes into the interview, you know what I'm saying, Glad ask him something about blacks.
Charlamagne s something about Drake and he mentioned he mentions black my man glassing alone, this that and that like that.
Speaker 4Yo.
When I tell you, Glass flew over that shit so fast.
Speaker 6Ain't even like he flew over like if he ain't even hear Glass's name mentioned bro word and he wanted to get into that conversation too, And it's.
Speaker 1Like so crazy to me, like damn, like nigga, like we but shit, you know, and is what it is at this point.
Speaker 2So I just I just accepted it for what it was, and then I knew it was like more serious than I thought, like not serious, like it's a danger, but like like damn, So I just always want was I wrong?
So like only me and you know this, yes, because in my mind, I'm like, it's no chance I was wrong.
Nigga, I'm not giving you no gun.
Speaker 3You didn't know you did a smart thing.
Speaker 1So but I'm asking what is he mad at?
Still the wh what is he standing on to be upset?
Speaker 3Because I think he might be upset because he just opened hisself up to you and was crying and you said, oh, that was king, But that's like he feel embarrassed and you feel all that.
You know how people get him.
Speaker 2For fucking fifteen fucking years, there's eighteen nineteen years.
Speaker 3You just let his secret out.
Harry probably forgotten you don't talk about it.
People forget you know.
Speaker 1And so nobody knew that that was only between me and him back then.
Speaker 3Everybody knows.
Speaker 1Well now it's the reason for him to be mad.
But now it makes sense if he never talks to me again.
Speaker 2Like now it's like I'm okay with him, but you know, maybe you know, you don't know, maybe he'd be like man glasses.
You know, he had caught me, like we need to have this conversation because I need to vent with you and tell you what I feel and what's wrong.
Speaker 3Well, he had a couple of weeks to do it because you've been talking about it coming up ban from BLAD, so he had a chance.
You know, I ain't been talking about I didn't talk about it publicly, but you said it was coming out.
Speaker 1I didn't say that publicly.
Speaker 4You did.
Speaker 1They don't know?
Speaker 5And was you playing off band from TV?
Like we band from TV?
Speaker 4The song for sure?
Speaker 5For sure ain't okay, I just know not.
Speaker 6The song after song after song, the actual the actual tapes used to come out and the song okay, all right, a.
Speaker 1Couple of things until I do my time trap.
Speaker 5I heard about him when I was younger, but I got them crazy tapes.
But I ain't I ain't never seen them, but yeah, those two things.
I was gonna mention that as well.
Speaker 2Really, he was already kind of coming around like not like hanging out where we're from, but like, remember, everybody at that time was going on Brazil.
Speaker 1Everybody was coming to count for the Chuck Gang was the hottest NIGG in the world.
So the guy would.
Speaker 3Come on Brazil, feel me to the tobacco.
Speaker 5M hey, hold on time out that whole situation.
Yeah, he flipped a little bit, he said, he said, he said, I'm signed to doctor Dre and not gu Nick.
I remember all of them joints, Like, I never forget when we for like a week I was, I was rolling a game.
Speaker 3It was it was I can never.
Speaker 6Forget that whole campaign he was doing at that time, though, Man, he can't.
He came out to Jamaica.
He came out to Jamaica Avenue b with a life size rant.
Speaker 4It was.
It was on Jamaica Avenue screaming gu and not that ship was that was crazy man.
Speaker 2Oh but yeah, it's like so everybody was already That's how I missed schiming him.
Everybody was coming to Brazil and confor we hang I'm over there all the time, so I'm meeting people and it's like.
Speaker 4That's it.
Speaker 2Black was a cool dude.
Don't like he was cool like he a bit over the top down.
Back then he was a way cooler dude like he was he was, he was carrying himself a little bit more street.
But now I think he knows it, even though sometimes he very much talked like the Godfather now when he be talking father and sh but like then, you know what I mean, he was way more cooler.
He just acted a little bit more like thuggery.
Speaker 6You think that he's he's been removed from from from that type of you know what I'm saying, surroundings and being around people like that that is you know what I'm saying, or either it was never just really him though you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3I don't tell you.
Speaker 1I don't think.
Speaker 2So this is the thing, like you people that grew up in the Bay, the Bay is a little bit more morti cultural when it comes to inner the inner city than Compton and watch, like you'll meet Asian people, white people.
They grew up the same way that that black folk grew up in the ghetto there.
Gill me some Asian folks, some white folks, from Indian folks, all kinds of people who grew up with the brothers and the ghettos of the Bay.
It ain't like that in wahing Counter.
So I think at that time I knew he was from the Bay.
He had came through the base, so I was like, okay, well that's kind of where he got his little kind of how you carry yourself.
But I don't think I ever thought of two seconds that, like he was a participant, like in all the silly shit.
Speaker 6I want to ask you a question.
This is this is going to be asked because it's been a major question upon them picking out people and everything like that.
Speaker 4Is Glad hip hop?
Speaker 1No, okay a journalists.
No, Lad is an entertainer.
Cloud is like a rapper.
Speaker 3He's entertainer.
Speaker 1Yeah, Lad got a TV show.
Speaker 3He's a rapper, but he's not hip hop.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, he's he he uses street urban culture to entertain but he's not a hip hop artist like he.
I don't I don't think it's fair to say he grew up culturally through street urban culture.
Speaker 1I grew up.
Speaker 4I think he.
Speaker 1I think he's adjacent to the culture.
Speaker 2I think he I think he saw up close and personal for a while, but I don't think he was raised in.
Speaker 1It enough for it to adopt it and be his own.
Do he sound like it right now?
Speaker 3When he talked, who's to me?
It's like a racist white boy than me.
Speaker 4Oh, man, I'm not getting them.
Come on, man, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1It's crazy, that's what I see.
Speaker 4I'm not putting that, man, I'm not.
Speaker 1I see through all that bled cool man he looked out.
Speaker 6I want to know why you're not a fan though, or make you not be a fan of him his interviewing skills, Like what don't you like.
Speaker 5About I'm kind of closer to what what's what's what's what's kind of yeah, King, I'm more closer to you because you know, as I've grown up.
Man, I'm really like glasses with it.
Like I'll stop watching him when the whole Lord Jamar rra Khan thing blew up, because I just think I started seeing a pattern in the way he was using the culture.
He's tried to position himself like like last he said, he tried to position himself like he's the boss, so like he's some godfather, Like you know, I did that master.
Speaker 3Called it slave master.
Speaker 1Not not quite a slave master.
Speaker 5Like that, but he makes it seem like he is a really important figure more so than he sometimes over talked at the interviewee like sometimes he overtalked them and put his own thing on it.
So when all the dialogue start popping, I'm going with us, like that's just how I Once I get a different and I hear like him going through it with Joe Budden, him going through it with this person, God Free, this person, that person, and I really revealed these people in the culture.
I'm like, I gotta, I gotta stop.
So I stopped watching the clips.
I got them blocked on YouTube, and I feel like my generation gotta start making that distinction because there's other we got out of Dotlogue.
We got Glasses Channel, we got multiple channels of us, and so I think we gotta start supporting us.
So this is when you did this, I was like, oh, this is perfect because I really don't like blad like and I don't care what relationships I get or don't get because I think that trap Lord Raw's blad Adam twenty two I do.
I don't watch that stuff because it's is it feel usury you feel like they usually No.
Speaker 6No, I'm kind of getting I'm kind of getting from you that you don't like white journalists on hip hop though, what it is, I'm just asking.
Speaker 4I'm just asking a question because people you name, I don't.
Speaker 2I don't know if those guys are journalists because I don't I don't think they're journalists.
Speaker 5Jeremy Heck, Rob Mark, Jeremy is a journalist is like a journalist.
Speaker 1Is a brother.
Though.
Speaker 2A journalist is somebody who kind of just documents what's happening.
Lad Adam and Trap, they're like they're like personalities.
Speaker 4They're kind of journalist journalist but no, no, he leans.
Speaker 2There, but no, he's still a personality too.
So like like once you start making conclusions, like you become a part of the entertainment, like become up, like you become like a journalist is somebody that just reports the story.
But then when you see people become a part of the entertainment, they're entertainers.
I was telling my homies that I was telling my homies the whole fig munity world.
I'm like, y'all not journal this, y'all like rappers, I mean, streamers are rappers.
Like academics is not a journalist, he's a rapper.
Speaker 5I'm I'm a journalist.
Keep my personal bias he is.
I keep is different.
Speaker 2They like that makes sense though, Like a journalist is somebody who just documents what's happening when you Once you get from.
Speaker 6Traplott Rosstuf, like I understand the point of entertainment within within the accent and everything like that.
Though, But he he what he does to really deep dive into like the whatever whatever he's talking about, he does a deep dive into it, you know what I'm saying to to really get the you know what I'm saying that the research that he done, and he done picked up.
Speaker 3All of them do that.
Speaker 1I think all of them do that.
Well that that's listen, okay.
Speaker 2I see the movement amongst brothers where they like looking at them like you know how they see them, like how read is saying.
Speaker 1I get it.
Speaker 2The thing I respect and I understand that they see is the value in street urban culture.
Like that's the thing that I can't get us to understand.
People that come from it.
We do not see the value in it because it's so second nature to us.
Speaker 1It's nothing.
Speaker 2It's like how Glenn Bell saw the value in tacos, you know what I mean?
And he was like, you know what, Glenn Bell is the person who may Taco Bell?
Is that the person may Taco Bell.
Wow, I never you see your research, you'll be doing be crazy.
Speaker 4I never knew that.
I never knew that, Glenn Bell.
Speaker 1Why is that body that I know that story for time now that they can tell who owns it?
Speaker 2Because I'm saying sharing them to Glenn Bell, right, somebody that understands the value of culture even though they not involved of it, and then they extort it with kind of this digestible version of.
Speaker 5It for the not the country.
That's dope because just what two or three podcasts ago y'all was talking about tacos.
Speaker 4And that's a fact.
Speaker 1It was no but it was no reason to pro he had that in his back pocket.
In his back pocket, Glenn Study what back you?
Speaker 5God?
Speaker 2Okay, I figured out I figured out.
No, I figured out who going to mac And that's all at the same time.
Okay, if we're talking to Who'dy's dad started at KFC, I didn't know.
Yeah, Okay, Colonel Feels is.
Speaker 3A real dude.
Speaker 1Yes, he's not a real colonel.
But he yes, I know where his first shop was.
Speaker 3It was in Utah.
You know, the first CAFC was in Utah, So I know history.
I always knew who he was, always knew who he was.
Speaker 2Like I'm saying, in discomparison with those three dudes, they see the value in something culturally that's the ship, and they like, I'm finna build some off for that now.
Speaker 1Is it vulturous?
I don't know.
Speaker 5It feels like it.
Speaker 1I can respect that.
I can respect that.
Speaker 5I can't say yes or no.
But as I'm growing into my manhood, is when you start positioning yourself like you bigger than the program you said it, he gonna one day start positioning himself like he bigger than the program.
And that's I see with Bladd is that he positioned himself like he's bigger than the culture itself.
And he started when he did the whole thing with Marlon Wayne's Yeah, yeah, just certain things that I love Dwayne Brothers.
I love Marlon Is that dude, like he's he's been around for so long six Man six, all these different movie I had to remember, like hold On Walton been around for many before, like he had many so when Blad tried to do that, I was just like, see, this is why I stopped watching him because and this was crazy.
Speaker 1Was crazy to me.
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2If and then seeing something i'll critigue, lad, I get it if you know what.
You was like, Man, that's too much money.
You don't say nothing, You're like, you know what, I ain't gonna do this.
It's nigga tripping.
But then like I watched him sit down and just say the other day that uh Takashi asked for way more money and he paid him.
Yes, Now I get why.
Now whether I agree or not is unimportant because it's also a different value in YouTube clicks views that's worth a lot of money.
But if it's just business, then why even blow home Me out and try to you know?
And he apologize, So I don't want to make too much of it.
But why are you try to blow home Me out if it's just business?
Speaker 3I didn't know he was paying for interviews?
Speaker 4Can I get a little recap on with him?
Speaker 3Though?
Speaker 2So he wanted Marlon to do Blad TV, and Marlon told him he wanted so much money and a and a percentage cut of the videos.
Speaker 5It was like twenty thousand or like a ten percent, fifteen percent because something like that.
Don't know whatever it was.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't want to try to figureut the numbers, but it was it wasn't something crazy.
Speaker 2I mean, who am I to say?
I don't know I vlad bens on Nomber.
I'm just saying it is Marlon Wayans who makes means and means.
It means, it means, it means of dollars per film.
Speaker 4You know what I mean.
Speaker 1He been making means and means and it means of dollars per film since the nineties.
Speaker 2So if he come and ask you for you know, ten thousand, twenty thirty, forty thousand dollars, now, I'm not saying you should do it.
Speaker 1I'm just saying he's not asking for something crazy like if.
Speaker 2Marlon Wayans, if Denzel say, hey, glasses to get on no ceilings, I want forty thousand dollars Like I wouldn't consider that, and not to compare Moreland in jail.
But I'm just saying, this is how long this brother been making money in his business.
It's thirty plus years.
So it's like, okay, if you not gonna fuck with him, cool, just let it go.
But when you start to airing him out, like he's not worth it, right, And then so it's like, Okay, I get it, you compared this YouTube number, but that still sound like a private conversation.
And that's where I was saying, like in in the song and banfot Flat TV, I was like, I could see that in two thousand and six.
I can see that attitude back then.
I could see the the whole energy back then.
I can see the whole energy back then where it was like, oh, this nigga gonna be crazy, you know what I'm saying.
Like even when him, you know, even when him and Ross got into it, because he kind of air Ross out on that whole shit, right, Like he put that ship out there about homie, you know, having that job.
Speaker 3Oh, but to see yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2So it's like so it's like and when they was popping it, they was popping it online, he was popping it back.
I'm like, oh shit, they you know, I'm thinking to myself like, damn, maybe I should have gave you the girl like he on this type of time.
And when the fight happened, it was like, man, I knew he was gonna lay eg he laid the egg.
He didn't even try it.
So it's like, you know what I'm saying, It was like damn, so like that's my issue, is like and that's where he's at now, like where he like he he And don't be wrong, I'm glad it's working in celebrity, like the bad bunny thing like you know, oh you know you don't speak English like bro chill fool, Like why like you know what I mean, Like you know a lot of people in this he speak Spanish.
It ain't like English is the primary language.
Speaker 3And I see why I feel the way I feel the things he'd been doing and saying and acting man like.
Speaker 2Yeh, it's not like you know what I mean?
And I noticed what he's doing and I see him working in celebrity.
But it's like, but I could see this person a long time ago.
Speaker 5And let me just say lessons.
I don't want to take anything away from his work ethic, because the man did create a formula for YouTube.
Everybody in the copy the former, a lot of people that broke broke they interview up into thirty thousand pieces like he do.
So I'm not taking away anything from his his work ethic and what he does on the business sense, because it's immaculate.
You can't you can't touch that.
But like you said, with these personal little things that make me see his character.
You know, business is business.
But when you when your characters that way and I feel like you a guest in the culture, it's like I don't I don't have to.
I don't have to click like me.
I'm a super fan.
Speaker 4You feel me.
Speaker 5You everybody know that.
That's one thing about my channel.
I talk about Ja Cole, but I can show you I got all his vinyls.
You know what I'm saying, Like I put my money where my mouth is if I want to support.
But I'm also the same way on the other if I feel as though I don't like you or like you're you ain't righteous, and I ain't gonna say it like righteous, like I'm some short.
But if I feel as though you have ill intentions, I'm not gonna click because that's my power.
You know what I mean, My power ain't.
I ain't gonna stop you, ain't the monkey, don't stop the show.
But I know that you're not gonna get my advertisement dollars.
Speaker 1You're not gonna get my view money.
Speaker 5You ain't getting my views because why would you?
You know what I'm saying.
Oh, that's kind of my thing with it, and I'm glad I did this because I think the people need to hear it.
Speaker 4You know.
Speaker 3No, So.
Speaker 2Like I don't watch I watched lad interviews out comment when he said something like he just said something back to me.
Speaker 1Yeah if I if I'm interested, and he said.
Speaker 4Something back to you, sure.
Speaker 3She'll talk to you online, but won't talk to you in person.
Speaker 2No, No, you ain't gonna talk to me because it's different man, like characters the truth is, but it's not.
It's not okay, it's only character.
You have expectations for somebody, Like I kind of believe I know who Blad was.
And maybe this is wrong, but I kind of already have an idea who people are.
You know what I'm saying.
So it's like, am I surprised that that happened?
No, I'm not even tripping you feel me?
Like my thing is, I don't lose nothing by not going on lad TV.
Speaker 5Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2That's not to shoot his platform down, like he has an amazing situation going good stuff, great stuff.
Come on, man, Like, you know what I mean like I go on Fox News, you know, breakfast club, I go go drink chaps like it's brothers that guy.
Speaker 4You know what I mean.
Speaker 2It's enough stuff to where it's like I don't feel like he's holding me back.
Yeah, but I'll be honest, I.
Speaker 1Did think we were friends.
I did think we were friends.
That's true.
Speaker 2And I learned real fast that you're not.
Yeah, that we ain't that type of friend or however he treated his friends.
Yeah, because I mean I had told some of my friends, no, it ain't never was like cut me off like or talk to you.
You know what I mean, Like when Pluck told me no, I ain't gonna give you no pistol, I didn't be like I'm not talking to you ever again.
Speaker 1And it just you know what I mean, I got the message.
I respected it.
So it's like you told me no, I couldn't have no grapes trap.
I never told you.
Yeah, I never told you know that I should just quick talking to him the man.
Speaker 2I never told you no, but yeah, so it's like it's like, yeah, man, it was so you know, somebody asked me, what was.
Speaker 1What did I What did I expect?
Speaker 2I said, the perfect world Lader called me, cussed me out and say, you know, we'll figure it out and come sit down on my shoulder.
Speaker 1We just had a conversation and.
Speaker 3Be friends again.
Speaker 1I don't know if we're gonna be friends because I don't think he'll ever Is.
Speaker 3That what you want to be friends again?
Speaker 1No, I don't want to be nobody's friend.
Speaker 2Okay, just as I got you, I don't think I've ever met a person I want to be their friend, like either we have a synergy like read like, either either I vibe with you or I don't.
And it ain't nothing personal like that.
Don't mean I can't do business with you, you know what I mean.
But it's like I feel like that would be a way to deal with it as a man, like you know, you sit down and I understood why he feels this way.
Now, a regular human being will call him or text him and say, man, hey, I want to sit down and talk with you because I feel this way about this situation.
But because Glasses Loca is an artist, you know what I'm saying, I'm going to put it in my music, and it just happens to be in front of everybody, and it's a value to it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not playing dumb like it's a value to people learning about this story.
But it's still just about how great I am as a storyteller.
Like that's my goal to keep getting better, to keep pushing the boundaries of making reardings for people and to entertain them, you know what I mean?
And you know whatever, the worst thing comes out is black cussing me out, trying to blackball me every week trying to assume the best thing in the world is Blad calls me and cusses me out and say, man, you know we have a conversation, said man comes in on blat TV.
Let me cuss you out in front of everybody else, and then I could make sense to you why I feel this way.
Speaker 3Hey, trap, When that nigga told Glasses, I don't fuck with you Gases, like what.
Speaker 2It was surprising because I forgot about it.
I was like, the fuck I do the fla that nigga starts, you forgot about it?
Speaker 1Like shit?
Speaker 2It was like, really, this motherfucking that made all these mellis and dollars read.
Speaker 5I'm like, you should have thrown your life away.
I saved you, Like what I had a similar situation like that.
Right was I was moving out.
I was moving back to where i'd that now, and I had needed my young boy to to help me move out.
And I was about to call him, but he called me, right he called me.
He you know, he didn't been to They call it Alvin is Glenn.
If you look up Alvin is Glenn.
That's like the Youth of Detention Center.
So he's one of those.
He didn't been there, out of there, and I'm trying to you know, I'm trying to get up, get him right, you know, let him cut my yard and stuff like that.
And so he called me.
I literally about to call and call me, yoh d I need to So I said, well, come meet me here because I need you to help me move.
And so we talk about it and I'm like, yo, this is legal.
I can't just give you my legal firearm.
It's gonna come back to me.
You know what I'm saying, Like this is we can't do that.
You know what I'm saying, I get it.
And I think they ran in his brother house, jumped his brother.
He young, he want to go wild out with your registered phone.
So I'm like, you can't do that.
So we move and I'm talking them off because he just got a nice little shorty.
He just moved into our house.
You know, I've been trying to like get him to you know what I'm saying.
He was running in with houses still in the high phone.
Can I you know he's doing those things all my my car broke down, Like can I use your phone?
He was running off, so he you know, he got caught up whatever, and so I was basically trying to tell him like, like this is dumb, Like we could go over there.
Similar like we could go over there.
I can let you get the fair one if things go crazy.
Hey, you know what I'm saying, because the stany Iniear ground state we could do, you know.
So I kind of try to talk him off.
But then, you know, as the day went on, we moving, you know, I ain't have much to move, and he like, man, you know what, you're right.
I'm like, man, you got a beautiful girl.
You're young.
He was a little younger than me.
I'm like, bro, you smart, you just like I was.
You not a pump, but this ain't you.
You know what I'm saying, Like you not a pump, but this ain't you.
So just go to your girl house and leave it alone.
He's still with his girl to this day.
He doing well.
I think he got a CDL or something like that, you know what I mean, Like basically changed his life.
How we did that, we could have changed both of our lives.
Speaker 2And that's how I felt about flat.
It was like fool, Like I saved your life.
You go over there and even play with that.
Somebody might make you use that your life where and you for sure tell so now I'm gonna throw my life away.
Like so it's like in my mind like that would be the conversation.
But this is also the same person, you know, and I'm not talking shit.
Took him years to apologize the fucking fair con He was flat out wrong and just didn't want to apologize.
So cuz can't be stubborn, you know what I'm saying.
So he's been seventeen years stubborn with me, like, and I just don't understand it, Like, nigga, what is you that mad about?
Speaker 3Like?
Speaker 5Cool?
What I gotta tell my homieyo, yo, I told you I told the story on with glasses, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2And check like so then he goes on right and he sues Rose and then he gets the money to launch this MORETI, this eight figure platform nigga from suing the nigga over kicking your ass woo, and you was whooping back and forth to see I look at way, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1So it's like, so that's what I don't get.
Speaker 2I just again, man, Sometimes it's like that, Like it's a lot of people that I met in my life that that's mad at me for some reason.
And you know, at the end of the day, like sometimes I feel like, damn, you know, I still got my first friend.
Read shout out to Jaboy Washington that niggas my first friend.
That's like my first friend.
I've been that nigga.
We've been friends for forty years.
That's my first friend.
Like that, So I judge my character based off that.
How old are my oldest friends.
I got friends that I met, you know, twenty years ago, and I got friends I met, you know, fourteen years ago.
I got friends that I met my first friend I got.
My first few friends were still friends now my homeboys we all homies, now what I mean.
So I try my best to protect my people that I consider friends.
If glad is somebody I consider the friend.
It's like homie, Like niggas, you're about to.
Speaker 1Have a mental breakdown over why you don't understand why no no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2I'm not going because I'm already honestly, I'm past it.
I'm past why.
Speaker 3You're right, you don't understand.
Like dude, I tried to help you, like think back twenty years.
I did get now, like I did the right thing.
Speaker 2Okay, I thought he should have thought that when with the Walls once that with Ross and you was pointing niggas out and you sued niggas.
I thought you to say to yourself like man Glass told me, I wasn't built like this.
But it was like now you mad that you realize you're not like this and this fucked g.
Speaker 4My thing is right.
Speaker 5When I realized that you said this, you said, y'all kind of popped at the same time, right, And I feel like from what you're saying, from what I hear from you, is that you you you hip hop saved your life and you grew into maturity.
But I feel like with guys like Vlad, it's very similar to you know, Aubrey, where the bigger, the bigger they get, they don't get humble because they're not from this, They're not nowhere and even close to it.
They actually get a little bit more egotistical.
Do you do you think that's what happened with Vlad?
Because what I'm hearing is that Blad really probably started being this person when he was around you.
You get what I'm saying.
Like, and not to say directly you, but this is my only intro into old Lad.
You know, as far as like he will, he rocked with you enough to where he'll call you.
You get what I'm saying.
Actually, So do you think that's what happened to him?
He just his head just got big.
Speaker 1I think it is that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2I think it's a pursuit of cool, you know what I'm saying, And you know, with with some people finding the level.
Look, I heard him called Godfrey a punk the other day and I was like, you got a bodyguard, you can't call somebody.
He said he ran into Godfrey and he said he wanted to talk to him, and Godfrey He's like, all right, whatever, and just kept going.
And he said Godfrey had a pistol and it's like he said, oh, he's just a punk.
And I'm like, Nigga, you got a bodyguard, like I know, you don't try to squabble cause like like so, I think I think the money makes him a little like money made people a little delusional, like they start whining they own jazz, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1And that's what's happening with Drake.
Speaker 2Whereas like you think, because you got some money now you just everybody's just gone.
Boy, some of us can still see the punkin you like it, and it don't.
Everybody not scared.
Everybody ain't scared of no money.
Everybody ain't scared of nothing.
Like you could pay somebody over here, you gonna get them hurt, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1It's just it's different.
Speaker 2So it's like I do think as they gain following, they start to feel like, I don't know, he he postures a weird way now, like I mean, but it's always been flast I think the baby he came with that mentality from up top.
I think he came down here with that.
But obviously you you be in the center comfort the watch.
You can't act like that with us because no, you'll be fooled.
Speaker 3But I think they do think they're smarter than a little bit.
Speaker 2I mean, I don't know, but I'm just said I think of his situation, I think so, I think get outside.
I think in his situation it was more or less like yeah, I think the money kind of made him feel a lot of other things that maybe he would.
Speaker 1Have felt before.
Speaker 5Because that's what I was getting.
I'm like, man, last seemed like he was in DC.
It seemed like he he kind of tried you, you know what I mean, like, oh, you know what you said?
Why would you?
Why would you insinuate that I'm.
Speaker 1Listen he was talking.
I'm telling you, I was listening this nigga like, nigga, what and never tell I never snitched?
Speaker 2And that's like, then you just gonna pay this snitch more money than you paid anybody else to do an interview.
Speaker 1That's the fact, like where we're from, and I get it.
Speaker 2That's why you that's why you're doing so well with business because your moral compass don't hold you back on this type of I wouldn't talk to six six nine, couldn't pay me a million dollars to talk to him real now, let alone pay him to be on my Channel six nine couldn't pay me a million dollars to sit down and do an interview with him?
Like what the fuck would I talk to you about?
There's only one thing we need to talk about.
How you gonna kill yourself.
That's the only thing I want to know.
How you're gonna kill yourself.
You should be a shame of yourself.
Like how do you look at your face?
How you look at your parents in the face?
How do you you know that's all a masking?
Like how do you look at these people in the face?
How do you know you ruin these people?
Like how do you know that you couldn't be a man?
Like when you put like you know, like we wouldn't even have a good conversation.
We might as well just fight, you know what I mean?
Like what are we gonna talk about?
Speaker 4So with it?
Speaker 6I think when anybody sits down with him, though they don't ask him the real questions though, anytime that happens like that, you know what I'm saying, like like like where's your mind at right now?
What you did to these people when took people away from their kids and their family and anything like that?
Though, you know what I'm saying, Like how you feel about they don't asking those quests.
They ask him the questions that he that he I think it comes with the questions for them to ask them basically in times though when he doesn't interview.
So I just don't watch him though, So I don't know.
Speaker 1I just think I just think part of it is black just don't care.
Speaker 5Yeah, black can't ask those questions, don't.
Speaker 2Like what does Jagle look like asking another nigga about telling because he mean so like and that's the thing, Like he carried himself when I first met him, like he wasn't no civilian, that was his whole thing.
Like he was on some timing and it was like ogous, see right, Like I knew you wasn't on no timing.
I mean, but that's how you presenting yourself.
Speaker 5My favorite line on song glasses, I was right as black blood rags up was right as blood.
This reference.
Speaker 1He not streaming at least and Broly check it.
Speaker 3Now.
Speaker 2People think you police well not me, niggas telling them theyselves, But you got to understand these is feeling, These are fellas chasing.
Speaker 1Well, So please don't use this like a tool, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4Like and and.
Speaker 2Like I put the burden of oners on us, But I understand also when you're trying to become something.
It's like, I don't put the burden of new gang banging on people that want to be gags.
I understand why people want to be from gangs.
Who the fuck wouldn't want to get an army on command, Who wouldn't want to get a level of respect by just saying you're affiliated.
Who wouldn't want to get access to earning money in the streets with a team of people, who wouldn't want this type of social currency to be a part of this group.
I get why, even when you too stupid to realize your life is that you know is in jeopardy from doing it because it seems like such a short sighted idea, you want that social currency.
I put the on this of responsibility on the game.
Why do you want this nigga?
Why would you let this nigga inherit the power of this army, the the power of this army, the social currency for him?
Speaker 1Nack like he one of us.
Speaker 2So we go tell a bench and get some pussy because she thinks he a truper.
This nigga's a pump.
Speaker 1The whole time.
Speaker 2So I feel like that even with Vladd, it's like, I mean, I could put the on this, I could put responsibility on bla Blad, don't you.
But it's like he making money.
I get why, but he not if he's not paying all of them people, you know what I mean?
Like, now, if he's paying you, man, do your thing.
But if you just doing the interview with Lad because of like you're trying to be popular, that's a different conversation.
Speaker 6I mean you're talking about somebody sitting down with Bladd and telling their story the Blad.
What's the what won't be the reason if somebody want to do.
Speaker 3That is what?
No.
Speaker 2I get why, I get why.
I understand what it could do for you, But why are you doing it for free?
Speaker 4Okay?
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean like why for free?
Like I say all the time, I tell the homers all the time, somebody want to be from the set that they have to pay dues?
Yeah, like you know what I mean, Like, well, dang't got no job.
They shouldn't be gang banging.
They need to go find a job.
They got three priorities.
Speaker 3Fucked up the hustling they should be doing.
Speaker 1You ain't got nothing you can't afford thirty six dollars a month or something.
It's crazy.
Speaker 3You're gonna get that.
Charity can go door to door.
Speaker 5Go get on the go, get on g R, go, get on General Relief.
Speaker 1Give us a fifth for the check.
Speaker 4You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2You get to climb the fame of a of a game.
I've been telling a gang member this for a while.
We should be charging people to be down.
If you didn't grow up in the neighborhood, Like, if you didn't grow up on this street in this neighborhood, you not family members with people, You not born into this.
Man, it should be a you should have to pay money and yo yo.
Shit should only be if it's in good standing.
Speaker 4Don't pay.
Speaker 3But you must have hands, I mean at least.
Speaker 2But I get it if you put on somebody that got hands, because now you got a squabbler, Yeah, you got squabbling.
I mean, but they be putting on straight people that you gotta make tough.
You ain't saw good.
Yeah, but that's like if you're a ride, if you're a truth or I get why they put you on.
You you gain another infantry man.
If you a baller, you gained somebody that's making money.
If you put on a squabbler, you goat somebody got some mans.
Why are you putting on little Tim over there?
Tim, here's a more work, not like hey, but Tim is like a project.
Why are you taking on project?
Why are gangs in twenty twenty five taken on projects?
Speaker 4It's number.
Speaker 3Man?
Speaker 2How are you taking on?
You gotta turn You gotta make him tough.
Shout out to my homies that made me tough.
But at least they knew me since I was a little kid, so they could push the right.
Speaker 1Buddies.
Speaker 2How do you push this man but you don't even know him.
Now you gotta make him tough.
I guess hard making people tough.
It's hard making people stand up.
Shout out to pluck, Shout out to man, Shout out to Boo, Shout out the moon, Shout out to all my whole tone, all the people that made me who I am when it comes to street life.
They worked shady.
I was a project, but at least they knew me since a little kid.
Trapped man, you know what I mean.
So it was like a project.
They saw growing up and they knew how to motivate me.
They knew how far they can go because they know my parents.
It was a way they treated me.
But if you don't know, Look Tim, Tim, why why Tim should be just paying?
It should be a program, like you want people to make you something, you should pay for a monthly.
Speaker 3But Tim come from the suburban area too.
Speaker 1He said, Tim should have to pay.
Tim, go to your mom, get a check.
Speaker 5At least be moving something in the suburbs.
At least being something some pills of South just be you know, freak.
That's how I feel like.
Speaker 2So when people sit down with Ladam, like y'all should all be getting paid.
Now if you're a new artist and this part of your campaign, totally understand it.
But like it be street niggas.
It'd be like look Jojo from seventy seventy seven, seventy sixth Street, seventy eighth Street.
You know, look Jojo that got out and he did thirteen bodies in it, and you sit up here on this man show talk about you know, yeah I strangled him because you know he did.
Speaker 5Why are you this is they pay?
Speaker 2These women are snapped for this.
Go to snapped, you know what I mean?
Get some point like no, you're right, but they want their story to be heard though.
Man, that's what we need to make a snap for game bankers.
Speaker 5That's a fact.
Speaker 2It's just the game baker.
Yeah, this nigga told me my little so I just grabbed a pistol.
Once niggas do their time, and then everybody just tell the story how they got into it.
Speaker 1It be snapped for crips.
Speaker 5Snapped what you want to Lad might not mess with you because of the song.
It might because it isn't read my Yeah, he's done.
Speaker 6I have a vision that I think that I think what comes out of this right now, you're gonna definitely gonna sit down with But I told you.
Speaker 1That I think he's gonna call me cuss me out.
Speaker 4Because you're gonna have to tell this part of the story.
Speaker 1No, no, I try the visuals.
I ain't show read the vision.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5You're gonna be visuals.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, different kinds of visions.
Speaker 1Because you how.
Speaker 2But what I'm saying is okay, me and Trap, this is what we think is lappen.
We go speaking the fruition, then we out here.
He gonna call me and cuts me out.
He gonna say that I should have called him and I was out of line and why I didn't call him if if if, if I knew he was mad, and da da da, And i'mna be like, bro, I talked to you multiple times, like we didn't text, and I didn't even know you was mad.
So like, I'm you're not telling me you upset, like you told Stretch, you told the hummy to me, you ain't talking to me.
And I think we're gonna talk and I think we may resolve it for me and then we'll have a conversation then show.
Yeah, what's most likely gonna happen is he finish cussed me out publicly, you know what I mean.
A couple brothers that probably shouldn't be trying to stand up for him, might find himself doing stuff try to disrespect me to stand that.
Speaker 1For him, which is gonna be the worst feeling in the world, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2So I think that's kind of what I lean towards happening, because I think it would take a different energy to be like, let me have a conversation with somebody I work with.
Speaker 5Mm hmm.
Speaker 6He's definitely going You're definitely gonna have a sit down definitely gonna have a sit down.
You're gonna tell his side of the story.
You're gonna tell you know what I'm saying.
You already told your side.
No, it's nothing.
That's the truth.
It's the truth.
Speaker 4You know what I'm saying.
It ain't no side.
That's the truth.
And he's gonna say not to know.
Speaker 1I just it's if nothing else I would like to know.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4You wrong?
Speaker 3That's all you want to know.
Speaker 4I told you, I told you that told you wasn't wrong.
Speaker 1I understand why because he ain't wrong, you are wrong?
Speaker 6Is right?
Speaker 4It's a blood right, right, right, right, it's a blood right.
Let's go easy.
