1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Yo.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I like to welcome everybody back to Brandy Rep.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
because I'm just collage.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
I'm your host, Queen Golden.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
We're friends and family.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
We're gonna be QG for short.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And if you feel like that's what we becoming,

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
you can call me that too.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
So,

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
the NSO playoffs are currently going on.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So, first round,

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
you had the Chargers versus the Houston Texans.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I actually thought the Chargers were gonna win,

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
but Texans end up fucking them up, so.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It is what it is.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And then you had more important,

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Baltimore Ravens.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
And the Ravens beat the dogs shit out of Pittsburgh.

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It showed that the school was like 28-14,

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
so it seemed like a pretty close game, but it wasn't.

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
It wasn't at all.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So then you had Denver versus Buffalo.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Now, if Denver were the one,

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Houston would've came to Baltimore.

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
We would've had another home playoff game,

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
but Buffalo ended up beating the shit out of Denver.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Denver couldn't get out their own way, so.

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Next Sunday, it's Ravens at Buffalo,

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
which I'm loki happy about.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Because what all this is, is the Mar-a-NVP,

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
is Josh Allen in the MVP.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Mind you, they already played here-to-here this season,

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
and the Ravens beat the shit out of them.

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And then when it comes to all statistical categories,

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
touchdowns, pass and touchdowns,

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
back in passing yards, leasing theceptions.

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
LeMard hid and showed us above Josh Allen,

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
but for some reason, it's still a debate.

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
But, you know, the media's always looking for some kind of

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
storyline or some kind of, I don't know.

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
This shouldn't be a discussion, honestly.

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Because I feel like if the numbers were reversed,

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
and LeMard had these numbers and Josh Allen had LeMard's numbers,

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
they wouldn't be debating it.

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
But I don't even want to make it like a racy thing,

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
but it looked, you see what I'm saying?

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Ain't noose.

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
How's everybody out there feeling, man?

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
I'm feeling pretty good, personally.

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
A little bit of retail therapy this weekend.

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
It was pretty cool.

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Found some good deals and some shit.

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
I mean, significant price drops on certain sneakers I wanted a cop.

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Like, it's these Nike ad packages or whatever.

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
And they were selling them for like $1.60,

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
and some places I saw them for $1.80.

57
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
And I was able to get them, if I think, $100 even.

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Like, maybe $106 for tax or something, but he's just fire.

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Now I got to find a little hat.

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
I mean, something to go with it, but...

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I don't know, man. I just... I'm in a really good mood, you know?

62
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Uh...

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
I will say that's the reason for the retail therapy.

64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Well, one, because I had to buy you the spin.

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
But two, the new job that I got, the pay is extremely well.

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I don't like it at all.

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And maybe it's a thing of like, I'm still getting adjusted

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
and all that type of shit, but my old job, I fucking loved.

69
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And funny enough, some of my higher ups from the old job

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
were reaching out.

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
They came in and said, what would it take for you to come back?

72
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
And I gave my number, and they was like,

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
good lord, is that what you getting now?

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
And I was like, yeah.

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And they was like, shit.

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Uh, yeah, let us talk to the finance people.

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
We gonna see if we can work it out.

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
We gonna try to...

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
If we can't match it, we gonna try to come as close to it as we can.

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I was like, OK.

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But it's a significant amount of money.

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Almost like, because I don't want to be that guy,

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
but if I told you the number per hour,

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
because they initially tried to make me sell it,

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
and I was like, no, no, no.

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Because if I come in and do any level over time,

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I want to be compensated for it.

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
They was like, even at this rate, I'm like, even at that rate.

89
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
So I was able to negotiate to keep my stuff out and avoid selling.

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
So I can actually benefit if I work overtime,

91
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
or come in for a project, or that type of shit.

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
But it ain't gonna lie to you,

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
if my old job can match it, I'm out of there.

94
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And I only been there, uh, this would be week three, coming up.

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I will leave immediately.

96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And it's funny because, you know, uh,

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
they telling me, like, the issues that they got going on,

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
and I happen to be, like, certified and licensed

99
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
and some of the stuff that needs repair.

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
So it's some shit I can easily do.

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
So I'm letting them know that I'm, like, licensed and all that.

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
They're like, oh, great, man, we can put you on that.

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Man, that'll save us so much money

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
if we can do this in-house, da-da-da.

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I was like, yeah.

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
I guess I'll turn around a week from now,

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
like, I appreciate everything that I learned while I was here

108
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
to give my trees a get the fuck out of there.

109
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000
But, like, my best friend works at, like, my old job,

110
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
so they kind of already put them at, like, a disadvantage, like,

111
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
yo, because I can't lie, being at work with my homeboy,

112
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
that shit's like being at work with, like, my younger brother,

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
like, with a cousin and some shit like that.

114
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
So we get work done in-house,

115
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
but we just be geeking in between that shit.

116
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
So...

117
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I don't know.

118
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
We'll see how that plays out, but...

119
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Man.

120
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
I don't be wanting to come on here and talk about, like,

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
all the drama and chaos that's going on,

122
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
but I have to speak on this,

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
because I used to live in California.

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I didn't live specifically in LA.

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I lived in a Bay Area, but I have a ton of friends in LA,

126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
and I would, like, you know, catch a flight,

127
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
be in LA in, like, 45 minutes type of shit.

128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
I actually took the drive one time.

129
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I actually did the whole PCH,

130
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
which is Pacific Coast Highway, for those who don't know.

131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:50,000
And I took the PCH from San Francisco down to...

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Santa Monica.

133
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But there's been...

134
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
This might be historically the worst fire in California history.

135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
And California is kind of known for wildfires and shit,

136
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,000
but, I mean, Calabasas, Beverly Hills, Baldwin Hills,

137
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
like, seeing the photos of it, it looks like...

138
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
It looks like photos from, like, World War I or World War II

139
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
over in, like, those small towns and villages

140
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
in those Eastern European countries.

141
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Like, I mean, cars completely burnt out.

142
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Shit. Just...

143
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Like, I saw this one thing where they said

144
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
the estimated amount of money it would take to recover all damages

145
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
and shit was in the billions, which would be insane.

146
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
It was even crazier than that, though, not to put on my tin full hat.

147
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
But, like, a week or two?

148
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Well, no, maybe not that early.

149
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Maybe, like, a month before,

150
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
the insurance companies out there in California

151
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
dropped all fire protection from their policies.

152
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
So these people who just lost everything,

153
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
there is no...

154
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
At least of right now,

155
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
there's no...

156
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
There's no path to recovery.

157
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
If you don't personally have it in your bank account

158
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
to move somewhere else,

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
because you won't be able to rebuild that, like, that's gonna need...

160
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
That shit gotta get bulldozed out.

161
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
They gotta fucking...

162
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Foundations and shit, like, it's terrible.

163
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Which makes it even worse,

164
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
or that it don't look like it naturally occurred.

165
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
So recently, I want to say,

166
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
maybe in the past three days or four days,

167
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I was in a car with a propane tank and a flamethrower,

168
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
and he pulled up to another LA neighborhood

169
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
in attempts to start a fire there.

170
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
But some neighbors happened to see him.

171
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Guys ran, tackled him, held him,

172
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
and that's when the police got there.

173
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
And now, they're saying that, potentially,

174
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
he's in Cahoots with the New Year's New Orleans attacker,

175
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
and the New Year's guy who blew himself up

176
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,000
in a Tesla truck outside of a Trump hotel or something.

177
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And all three guys were American born and raised.

178
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
So it's not somebody from, like, outside the border.

179
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
It's not, like, some kind of...

180
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
No, this is homegrown domestic terrorism.

181
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And we kind of touched on this last episode,

182
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
but, you know, with these updated events,

183
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
like, it's just...

184
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
What the fuck is going on?

185
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Like...

186
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
We make the world so much harder than it has to be, man.

187
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Like, it's already hard enough trying to, you know,

188
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
maintain yourself from a physical standpoint

189
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
so I was like, you know,

190
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
you want to make sure that, like, your money situation is in order.

191
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
That's hard enough, of course, in itself,

192
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
on top of the fact that, like, you know, like, your health,

193
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
and you can do all the right things.

194
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
You could jog two miles a day, eat completely healthy,

195
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
don't smoke, don't drink, nothing.

196
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
You'll still get, like, cancer, like,

197
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
you just can't call it, you know what I mean?

198
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Like...

199
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
You know, I don't want to put my sister's business out there,

200
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
but one of her best friends,

201
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
he just had a heart attack at work and just died.

202
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
And, like, he does, like, physical work,

203
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
but he was physically fit.

204
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
And he just...

205
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Heart just stopped on the job, like, man.

206
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
I had you. This guy's in his, like, mid-40s, mid- to late-40s.

207
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Because my sister's, like, nine years older than me, too.

208
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
And I think him and my sister the same age, so, yeah.

209
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
He's, like... Excuse me.

210
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
He's, like, 48, I think.

211
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
I think.

212
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
That's terrifying.

213
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Tsk.

214
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000
As I light a cigarette.

215
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Ah, man.

216
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
But, like I said, the things that we can control,

217
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
or at least attempt to control,

218
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
we just ignore it.

219
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
We throw caution to the wind.

220
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
We sit out here shooting, fighting, arguing, like...

221
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Even when it comes to, like, the political stuff, it's like, yeah.

222
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Person.

223
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
You and a person can be cool as hell at work.

224
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
You're, like, the same type of music.

225
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
You're eating a food truck together.

226
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
You're laughing. You're a joke. You're cool.

227
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
And then you find out that he's a Democrat,

228
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
you're a Republican, a vice-versa, whatever.

229
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
And now you're, like, sworn enemies.

230
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000
It's like, well...

231
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
It's just the government, like, manipulating everybody.

232
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Like, there is no profit in peace.

233
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
There's profit in war.

234
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
On all levels.

235
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
If there was no crime, there would be no need for police.

236
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000
If there's no need for police due to it being no crime,

237
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000
there's really no need for lawyers.

238
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
If there's no need for lawyers, then there's no need for a judge.

239
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Then the court system itself collapses.

240
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Can't have that happen.

241
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
So as much as they go, we need to stop.

242
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
We're going to toughen up on crime.

243
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
They don't want that.

244
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
There's no benefit to that.

245
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
So they keep people at odds.

246
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000
They keep creating circumstances where people feel like they

247
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
trapped with no way out.

248
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
So I got to do this extreme shit to survive.

249
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
And, like, most of us out here, we aren't living.

250
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
We're surviving.

251
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
And, like, you know, personally,

252
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
I feel like it's even worse in the black community

253
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
because we've been...

254
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
We've been mistreated for so long

255
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
that when you finally do get, like, a small leg up,

256
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
the people around you won't congratulate you.

257
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
They'll feel like, wait, you're supposed to be fucked up like me.

258
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Like, they'll kill you for being successful.

259
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
In certain areas of demographics and all that type of shit.

260
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
But then at the same time, the people who do gain,

261
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
do whatever it means they gain,

262
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
they don't reach out to the next person and go,

263
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
bro, let me show you how I did this so we can create wealth.

264
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
I'm going to teach you, and then you go teach him,

265
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
and then he'll go teach, you know, each one, teach one

266
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
so we all can learn.

267
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But niggas are just like, now you broke ass,

268
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000
niggas ain't on my level, da, da, da, da.

269
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
And if a nigga truly feels that way, and he's starving,

270
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
he's hungry, and he can afford a gun,

271
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
even if he can't have what you have,

272
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
it's the mindset of, at least you don't got it no more even.

273
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
That shit is wicked, man.

274
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Like, with the Kendrick and Drake beef, so...

275
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
behind the scenes, you know, allegedly,

276
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Drake was like reaching out to, like, real street dudes

277
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
in California, like, promising money

278
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
and Bitcoin transactions and all this other shit.

279
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
And, but Kendrick is so well respected out there,

280
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
and he's affiliated with some people who's well respected.

281
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
You know, that shit more or less got shut down,

282
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
but Kendrick said in the song he got a new album called,

283
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
like, GNX, it been out for like a month or so now,

284
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
but he says it on the intro song,

285
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
and he's like, whacked out morals, or mirrors, mirrors,

286
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
whacked out mirrors, and he goes,

287
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
uh, if that money got in the hands of a crash dummy,

288
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
uh, damn, I don't know if I'll ever beat him.

289
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
If that money got in the hands of a crash dummy,

290
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
I could have lost my life and burdened the ones who love me.

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
That shit don't sit right with me.

292
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Oh, that shit don't sit well with me.

293
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Before I take the truth, I'll take you to hell with me.

294
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
But it's like, all right, yeah, you didn't push me

295
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
like, oh, this shit over a rat battle.

296
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Like, it's, it's weird, man.

297
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
It's extreme.

298
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Like, even with a guy like Nipsey, Nipsey Husser,

299
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Nipsey Husser did great, you know what I mean?

300
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
But even when he got killed, the circumstances behind it,

301
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
like, you know, I've been seeing multiple interviews.

302
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
I saw one from his brother, which I tend to believe the most,

303
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
but, uh, they were shooting a video in his neighborhood,

304
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
mind you, he took a strip law that used to be damn near dilapidated,

305
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
and he made it look like it belonged to, like, Rodeo,

306
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Beverly Hills or something, but he brought it back to the community

307
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
so people could see that it was possible.

308
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
He's hiring people in the community.

309
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
They got restaurants, they got clothing stores,

310
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
they got, but he's hiring the community.

311
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And then, you know, guys that were considered rivals,

312
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
he's sitting there having dinner with them like,

313
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
yo, I'm gonna give you the blueprint of how to build this

314
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
in your community.

315
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
They each one teach one thing.

316
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
So, he was doing, the last video he ever did was with, uh,

317
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
DJ Khaled and John Legend.

318
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
And it was something called Hire,

319
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
or for like, uh, DJ Khaled out of some shit.

320
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
So, I guess, dudes in the neighborhood got wind that DJ Khaled

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
was gonna be there, and they more or less was gonna try to extort him.

322
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
So, Nipsey and them got wind of it like, nah,

323
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
bro, look, he's here as a guest of mine.

324
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Y'all don't play that shit with me,

325
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
y'all ain't gonna do that shit with him.

326
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
And Black Sam, like, it was a big,

327
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
big kind of like, little tension behind that shit.

328
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And then you got the dude, Eric Holder,

329
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
who actually did the murder.

330
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
So, uh, there's a legendary Roller 60 Crip.

331
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
I don't wanna say he's one of the soundest,

332
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
but he's, he was right there, like, the introduction of it,

333
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
named Big U. He has a niece.

334
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Big U's niece is the mother of Nipsey's oldest child.

335
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So, you know, Big U and Nipsey had, like, issues in the past,

336
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
but it seemed like they got past it at some point, they resulted,

337
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
but like, it was like physical altercations,

338
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
shoot out in the parking lot of the shopping center,

339
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
they end up buying, it was deep.

340
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
But there's a video of Eric Holder, or Shitty Cuzz,

341
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
and Nipsey's baby mother hanging out in her house,

342
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
in the kitchen, chilling, whatever.

343
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
And I got to mention that, uh, Nipsey was, like,

344
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
going through a custody battle for the older daughter

345
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
between him and, uh, his first baby mother.

346
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
And he won the case.

347
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
He got full custody of his daughter.

348
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
So, you got that shit, the DJ Khaled shit,

349
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000
there was some old tension with Big U.

350
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Pretty much the attack was, like, unprovoked,

351
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
and the crazy part about it, right?

352
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
They had, like, an OG from the set who'd been down

353
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
for like 10 years, 12 years, half of the long he was down.

354
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
He was coming home.

355
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
So Nipsey reached out to him,

356
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
or he reached out to Nipsey, he was like,

357
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Nipsey's like, yo, come to the store on Sunday,

358
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
I'm gonna give you one of everything so you can be fresh.

359
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
And he was like, I'm gonna put a couple dollars in your pocket.

360
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
So, Nipsey got a bodyguard from the set named J-Rot.

361
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Uh, he happened to be talking to J-Rot,

362
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
like, yeah, I'm gonna shoot down to the store

363
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
because so-and-so just came home and we'll look out for him.

364
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
So, J-Rot was like, all right, we'll bet, bro.

365
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Let me get dressed, I'm gonna drop my daughter off

366
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
at her mother's house and I'll be in the U to...

367
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
He goes, nah, nah, bro, it's the hood.

368
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
I'm gonna just shoot up there, I'm gonna be up there

369
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
in like 30 minutes.

370
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Nip, go up there to the store, meet up with Dojo,

371
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
just came home, dapped him up, gave him clothes,

372
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
gave him $50,000 in cash.

373
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Like, yo, your family need to see you,

374
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
how they remember you on some just, like,

375
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
trying to be a good dude.

376
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
So, Eric Hoda walk up,

377
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
they say he looked like he was, like, hot as fucking mind.

378
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
And he goes, he asking Nip, yo, you hear that new song I did?

379
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
And Nip was like, nah, bro, he pulls it aside.

380
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Hey, uh, you know, some shit is floating around about you

381
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
that you should address because you don't want people

382
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
to think that about you, it could be potentially dangerous.

383
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
And according to the niggas who's out there,

384
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
the dude, like, totally just brushed that shit off, like...

385
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
So, what man, you gonna get in the studio?

386
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And Nip was like, look, and to that get addressed, bro, look,

387
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
he's like, yo, you can go get your paperwork

388
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
and show me that that's not the case,

389
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
we can hit the studio tonight.

390
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
And then your Eric go, all right, walks off.

391
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
About 20 minutes, 30 minutes go by.

392
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Nip and I already gave him the clothes, gave him the money,

393
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
he's like, all right, I'm getting out of here.

394
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
He's about to leave.

395
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
This guy's out there with his kids.

396
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Oh, shit, yo, we love you, Nip.

397
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Yo, can get some pictures with you?

398
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Put his arm around the dude, take a picture with him,

399
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
then he leans down and he takes a picture with his kids.

400
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
As soon as he's about to take...

401
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
As soon as he's finished taking the pictures with the kids,

402
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
he's about to walk towards the car,

403
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
and then Eric, or shitty cubs, can walk him back up

404
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
to the Nipsey Stops.

405
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
I guess assuming that he's about to show them the paperwork,

406
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
and then when he got about, like, 15 feet from, 10 feet from,

407
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000
he just pulled the gun out and just shot Nipsey to death.

408
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Like, bro, that shit is devastating, like...

409
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,000
But, oh, I don't know.

410
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
You know, I don't know.

411
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
This is all secondhand, obviously.

412
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I wasn't there, and I don't know anybody on a personal level.

413
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Although, I had met his brother once when I was in LA.

414
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I think Nipsey's like on tour, like on tour,

415
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
or something at the time, and Sam was like running the store,

416
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
and I came in and got a shirt, so I got to meet Sam and shit.

417
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Solid dude, cool brother looking in the eyes when he talked to you.

418
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Firm handshake, like real man shit.

419
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
But, um, I always wanted to meet him,

420
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
but I never got a chance to, but I definitely met his brother.

421
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
And I met his father, actually. His father was in the store that night.

422
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
But...

423
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
It's sad, man.

424
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Like, you know, it's the old saying that,

425
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
yo, you could be your worst enemy, which is true.

426
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
But the flip side of that is that you can be your best friend,

427
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
and I think if people, like, took the time to love themselves,

428
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000
they wouldn't push out hatred towards others so much.

429
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
You know what I mean? Cause, like, you would feel comfortable in your own skin,

430
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
but, you know, it becomes a thing of, like, the haves and the have nots.

431
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And then when you're from a certain area,

432
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
and the successful person is also from that area,

433
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
y'all went to the same schools, right? The same courier, y'all.

434
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
They caught the same buses.

435
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
And then something just, you know, that fucking negativity demon,

436
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
like, attaches to you and so whispering, like,

437
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
why them and not you?

438
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
And then you start listening to that shit, like, yeah,

439
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
why them and not me, man? Fuck them niggas.

440
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Or it might be, like, a young lady in a community that you, like, fond of,

441
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
and then you learn that, like, she even did something with him before,

442
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
she liked that nigga and she's comparing y'all.

443
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Which is an unfair thing, because if I'm just a regular dude

444
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,000
and this nigga is, like, super talented and he didn't, you know,

445
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
capitalize on his talent and I haven't discovered mine

446
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
or capitalized on mine, how the fuck can I compete with that?

447
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
You know what I mean? That's like when I watched these, like, little videos

448
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
where, like, you bring somebody out and you pop up the balloon

449
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000
and you give an explanation of why you popped the balloon or didn't pop it and shit.

450
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000
I watched one other day where this dude was, like, 6'3", 6'4".

451
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
He was in really good shape. This nigga was a doctor.

452
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
And he owned, like, his own, like, he owned, like, two businesses

453
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
and some shit on top of being a doctor.

454
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
No kids, no jail record, no drug use, nothing.

455
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
And one woman, like, she popped the balloon immediately.

456
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000
And then when they asked her why they should do it, she was just like,

457
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
um, I need a boss, so then they asked her, what does it do?

458
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
And he's like, I'm a doctor and I own two businesses.

459
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
And then she had, like, a stupid shitty face, but then she goes,

460
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
I like niggas who get it out the streets.

461
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Yeah, I can't see my face, but I just made a face like, you stupid bitch.

462
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Like, that's so dumb.

463
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000
But, I mean, it's a blessing. You know what I mean?

464
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
But then there was one girl who was just like, yeah,

465
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
she didn't pop a balloon yet, but she was just like,

466
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
oh, you sound, that sounds fire.

467
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
So then she goes, hey, do you do any drugs?

468
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,000
And he was like, no, she's like, not even from, like, a recreational standpoint.

469
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
He was like, no.

470
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
He's like, so you don't smoke a little weed?

471
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
He goes, no, I don't.

472
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
She pops the balloon.

473
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,000
One of fucking six foot something doctor in shape who owns businesses with no kids,

474
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
no drug habits.

475
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,000
You popped the balloon because he don't smoke a little weed.

476
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
I saw that shit turned it off and say, yo, we doomed.

477
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
But they'll be the same once it turned around and go, it ain't no good men out here.

478
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
That shit, that shit is stupid, man.

479
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Like this.

480
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I don't know why my focus is just I'm fucking just dumb.

481
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
But anyways,

482
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:41,000
it's something else that I wanted to go into, which I actually think is a really good discussion.

483
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:48,000
But I'm looking at my time and, you know, I try to keep my podcast under 30 minutes.

484
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Just, you know, as I always say, I mean, for a good time, not a long time, but.

485
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
All right, fuck it.

486
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Well, I ain't gonna go super deep into this almost be like a preview for the next one because I'm gonna open my next podcast with this.

487
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,000
But why is there double standard with an original date?

488
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
So I saw like,

489
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I think it was like Tim Duncan, they were naming all these athletes who had like white wives, Patrick Mahomes, all this shit, right?

490
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,000
And I'm seeing like, you know, these woke with a quote black women, you see?

491
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And that's the problem.

492
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Like, they don't want to build, they don't want to build a black family.

493
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
They don't want to build a black family.

494
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:40,000
They just make things white women as bones just like stop it because Eve, the rapper from filming, she has a white husband.

495
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Serena and Venus both had white husbands.

496
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Shit. Maya Angelou had a white husband.

497
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
That nigga died and then she married a second white dude.

498
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
And they all held in high regards to straw black women.

499
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
It's not that y'all couldn't find a good black man.

500
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:02,000
They couldn't find a but even that conversation, I feel like it's divisive.

501
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,000
But, you know, but honestly, in my opinion, love who you want.

502
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
It don't matter.

503
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever, whatever the case may be.

504
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,000
You know, because of what gender they are, whatever, whatever the case.

505
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Love who you love.

506
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,000
You only get one go around and this, well, that's not necessarily true because I believe reincarnation.

507
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000
But again, another topic I don't want to dive into because I'll be here longer than I need to be.

508
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
But yeah, we're going to get into that next time.

509
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
I actually may have a guest on next time to speak to that.

510
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:49,000
But anyway, I hope everybody have a blessed productive life.

511
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Bless productive week, whatever goal you chasing out.

512
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
You get one step closer to that goal.

513
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,000
If not achieving it all together and once you achieve that goal, don't rest on your lows.

514
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
You know what I mean?

515
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Reset, make a new goal and, you know, achieve that.

516
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And then once you achieve that reset me, get another go and, you know, keep going.

517
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:18,000
So everybody is safe, healthy, positive.

518
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Hey, man, we get one life to live.

519
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
You got to live it.

520
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
You know what I mean?

521
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Like time is in promise.

522
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Yeah, I mean, so.

523
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
So everybody is seeing this, man.

524
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000
I just, you know, I wish everybody the best.

525
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Because that's the thing.

526
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Even if I don't care for you, if I don't like you, you don't get along, whatever the fuck.

527
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
I still wish you the best.

528
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
If you haven't success doesn't hinder mine.

529
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
You know what I mean?

530
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Me wishing bad on you don't make shit work out for me.

531
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
So I hope everybody achieves.

532
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:06,000
And if you achieve some shit that I might once thought couldn't be done, you just prove to me that it's possible.

533
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000
I might not be able to do it the way you did it, but it can be achieved because you're the evidence that it was achieved.

534
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
So I wish everybody the best, man.

535
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And with that being said, peace.

536
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Thank you.

537
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Thank you.
