1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Yo.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I'd like to welcome everybody back.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Except Brandy Repp is sold out.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The Togniz Fichter Large Park has nine of your hosts,

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Plain Golden, the Friends and Family.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
We're calling QG for short.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And if you feel like that's what we're coming,

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
you can call me that too.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Man.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
So, I watched a video the other day.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
They finally released a flying car,

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
or some jets and shit.

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
It's an electric car,

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
but that motherfucker takes off and flies.

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It looked a little wobbly in a flight,

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
but it shit took off, flew about 100 yards,

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
and then landed.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Can you imagine the fucking car accident

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
when Niggas gonna be able to fucking fly a car?

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
When that shit is like...

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Now, I wonder how that's gonna work.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Would you have to go get a new type of driver's license, I guess?

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I don't know.

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
It's like the prototype,

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
but they ready to do mass production

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
to make it a public thing.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
So, fucking, plane crash, car crash?

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
That's a school shit.

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
The one dope part about it though,

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
let's say you're getting chased by the police,

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
or you're getting chased by Niggas trying to hurt you,

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
or something like that.

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
And you just fucking start driving.

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I mean, you start flying midway.

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
You're like 80 or 90 on the highway,

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
and they get up on the back,

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
and you just fucking elevate and just fly off the highway,

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
and just fly into the woods with some shit.

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Like, I don't know.

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
The fact that this shit is even

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
something that I'm talking about is insane.

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Like, I've looked at it, I've seen it.

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Like, I've watched it operate.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
This is a real thing.

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
It's so crazy, it's just like,

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
you know, the year is 2025.

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
What would technology be like 50 years from now?

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
What the fuck do you 2075 look like?

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
That's just crazy.

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Like, honestly, I don't want to say I'm afraid of it,

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
but I don't know.

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Maybe you should have just be the same as it is now,

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
but just maybe a few more, like,

54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
conveniences, like, as far as, like,

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
the AI side of things.

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Like, maybe, you know, there's no more Uber,

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
it's like, you know, automated cars.

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Which is technically already a thing too,

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
but like, widespread.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
So, you know, let's say you're a senior,

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
and you need to go to an appointment,

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
or go to groceries, or whatever you need to do.

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
You know what I mean?

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
You can just fucking type in the address

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
into your, you know,

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
artificially intelligent car,

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
and it just drives you there.

68
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
You go in there, handle your business,

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
come back out, and it just drives you back home.

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
But, I mean,

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
most access and should occur

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
based on human error.

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000
So, maybe there's a greater chance of, you know,

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
not finding yourself in some type of collision.

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
It's, I don't know.

76
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
And then even with that, like, does it,

77
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
does it just know to operate on its own?

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Is it being controlled from a remote area?

79
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Like, I don't know, man.

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000
But long story short, the future is here.

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
The technology boom over the last, like, 60 years has been insane.

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Like, you know, I grew up in an era,

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
pre-internet.

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So, when I was a kid,

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
the internet wasn't a thing in your household,

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
until I was, like, 12 or 13.

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
That's some shit like that.

88
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
You get those little AOL, AOL things in the mail and shit.

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
And then, you know, you put it in your computer,

90
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
you gotta plug your phone line into it

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
and make that loud ass robotic sound,

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
and all that shit.

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
And then, like, you get on the internet,

94
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
it was like nothing to do.

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
You go to Messenger, or you would play, like,

96
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
you know, you could play, like, speeds,

97
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
or, like, solitaire, some shit like that.

98
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
But, I mean, I remember the first time,

99
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
there was some real shit.

100
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I got a homeboy named Rock, and, like,

101
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
he'd get money niggas.

102
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
He always been though.

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Like, he's just a sly nigga to this day.

104
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Like, rock be beaking moves.

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
But, like, I remember the nigga,

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
the first nigga I saw in person was, like, a two-way.

107
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And, like, for those who don't know,

108
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
a two-way was, like, this, like, slip screen, sidekick,

109
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
by Nokia, where you could, like,

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
pretty much it was like the invention of, like,

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
text messages and slash emails.

112
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
So, we sitting there and shit, we in the studio,

113
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
and a little sidekick shit is going on.

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
So, I'm like, what the fuck is that?

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
They trying to explain to me, so we joking on this nigga, like,

116
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I saw it on a call, and you know, it looked like a Power Ranger.

117
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
It looked like the Power Ranger's calling you, nigga.

118
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
So, in that, we laughing at it.

119
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
He go, yo, Chobro, I got to send this electronic mail.

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
So, what the fuck is an electronic mail?

121
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
It's like an email.

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
I was like, what?

123
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
That nigga might as well have been speaking fucking Lebanese.

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
I was like, what are you talking about?

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
So, they explaining to me, you know, that shit.

126
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
So, then, like, at the time,

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I think I had, like, a flip phone.

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I had, like, a razor or some shit like that.

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Or maybe it wasn't a razor.

130
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Maybe it was, like, that brick, no-keyer phone

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
with the snake game on it, I think.

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I don't remember, but I remember the first,

133
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
I guess, smart phone.

134
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
I had a Blackbird.

135
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And, like, the nigga Rock had a Blackbird, too.

136
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And I remember him, like, you know,

137
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
typically niggas in the studio, you write your songs.

138
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
You know, no book pad, you bring your rhyme book with you,

139
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
all that shit.

140
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
I remember the first time I, like,

141
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I wrote a verse in my Blackbird.

142
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
It felt so fucking weird.

143
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
So, I remember, like, going in the booth,

144
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
and the engineer was the nigga named J.G. and shit.

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
And he's just like, yo, the way your rhyme book.

146
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
I was like, and I just showed him the nigga my phone.

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
He's like, he looks so puzzled.

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And then I went to, like, my no-pad,

149
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
and I started, like, rhyming out of my phone.

150
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
He said, yo, this shit is crazy.

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
And back then, we think, like, yo, this some next-level

152
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Jets and futuristic, future-rom,

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
and, like, niggas was blown away by a fucking Blackbird.

154
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Nowadays, the phone in your pocket,

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
you can fucking record a podcast.

156
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
You can make a YouTube video, a vlog, or whatever.

157
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
You can shoot a fucking movie if you want.

158
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
You can make porn with the shit.

159
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
You can do Excel spreadsheets with the motherfucking,

160
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
like, you can send emails.

161
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
You can fucking log into any website

162
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
and take care of your bills online as opposed to,

163
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
like, back in the days, if you had to, like, pay a bill,

164
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
you had to call somebody over the phone

165
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
and give them all your information.

166
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Or you had to go to, like, a cash-checking spot,

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
or, you know, or the actual building

168
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
where you had to pay your bills.

169
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
I remember, like, having to drive to go pay my cable bill.

170
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Or having to drive to go, like, pay the rent.

171
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
When I was, like, living with my mother and shit,

172
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
like, we lived, like, on Cold Spring,

173
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
and I landlord, his office building was down on Howard Street,

174
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
which is, like, the light rail tracks,

175
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
and I was just super close to downtown.

176
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
But I used to have to drive down there,

177
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
find somewhere to park, go in there,

178
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
and then pay the fucking rent.

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
It was crazy.

180
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
And they paying for rent and cash.

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Like, that shit is wild.

182
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Damn.

183
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
I'd be at, you know, I'd be in a studio,

184
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
I'd be at work, I'd be at work, I'd be at work, man.

185
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
I'd be in the mall.

186
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
And then I would get, like, a fucking reminder,

187
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
like, hey, such-and-such bill was due in the next three days.

188
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
I'd go, oh, shit.

189
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I'd just open up the particular app for that thing,

190
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
hold down my thumb, it reads my fingerprint, logs me in,

191
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
and then with one button it goes, make payment,

192
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
I'd just go, yes.

193
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Scream, like, loads.

194
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
It, like, resets itself,

195
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
and then my confirmation number would pop up.

196
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
They'd let me know that they'd go send me

197
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
confirmation confirming it, like, I paid the bill,

198
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
but I always screenshot it. Fuck that shit.

199
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Whatever that email don't come through and y'all niggas come.

200
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Hey, you didn't pay last month, bullshit.

201
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
So I always screenshot my shit

202
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
for confirmation numbers and all that type of shit, so.

203
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I don't know, man, just, like, I've been, like,

204
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
thinking about the future.

205
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And funny enough, the more I think about the future,

206
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
I find myself thinking more and more about, like, the past.

207
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
And it's like...

208
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I don't know, I was talking to my nephew this weekend,

209
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
and, like, he's 20 and shit.

210
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Shout out to my nephew Miles.

211
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Even when he hear this, he know what it means.

212
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,000
But, like, you know, man, we just, like,

213
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
talking about the future and what he's trying to get ready for

214
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
and what he want to achieve, the goals he got to accomplish,

215
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
or he's trying to accomplish and shit, and, like,

216
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
I gotta say I'm super proud of him, man.

217
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
I really am.

218
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Like, I'm glad he wasn't, like, a knucklehead,

219
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
like, me and my brothers were coming up.

220
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
You know what I mean?

221
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Like, we didn't get in a bunch of trouble type of shit,

222
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
but Niggas definitely was making, like, bad decisions,

223
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
like, as a kid, all the way up to shit.

224
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Mid-20s, late-20s, early-30s.

225
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
You know what I mean?

226
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Like, but, like, he's on a whole different, like, trajectory,

227
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and, like, you know, it'd be the bit of old Niggas

228
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
that would see a young nigga like achieving something.

229
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Maybe it's a goal that the older nigga had, maybe,

230
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
but they'll watch a young nigga achieving a goal.

231
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Man.

232
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Surely gonna deserve, like, that suck of shit, like,

233
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
whatever I achieved in life, and have I ever really

234
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000
set back and told y'all, like, my true origin story,

235
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
it don't even sound believable, if I'm being honest,

236
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
but it's 100% legitimate.

237
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
I got proof of everything I'm saying.

238
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
You know what I'm saying? But, like,

239
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
I'll say that for, like, another time.

240
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
But as successful as, you know what I mean?

241
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
I am.

242
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And I say that no humbleness,

243
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
because I'm not a fucking millionaire or no shit like that,

244
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
but I do very well. I do well for myself.

245
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
I do well for myself. I do well for my family.

246
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Like, we all come.

247
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And, like, I'm not gonna get sidetracked,

248
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
but the way the power of the United States

249
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
has been going as of lately, like,

250
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
we're, like, full speed ahead towards, like, a recession.

251
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And, you know, not to be grim,

252
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
but it's gonna be tough for a lot of people.

253
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
And, you know, unfortunately enough to say,

254
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
I don't believe my family will be affected in a major way

255
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
by whatever the fuck comes next.

256
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
If you can hear that in the back,

257
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
you're not gonna know what it is. You know, never see never.

258
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
But I feel confident in, you know, what I got going on.

259
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
But I say all that to say,

260
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
the trajectory that my nephew is on,

261
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
it's like he's gonna, like, surpass whatever I've done easily.

262
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And that's what I want more than anything else.

263
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Anybody I love, I want to see them be extremely successful.

264
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Way more successful than me.

265
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
And that shit applies to homeboys.

266
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
You know what I mean?

267
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Anybody that I got love for, family, friends, co-workers,

268
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I want to see everybody see,

269
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I want to see everybody be successful, I should say.

270
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Because I'm never the person where I feel like

271
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
if I see you achieve something, it doesn't,

272
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
it doesn't make me fail at whatever I'm doing.

273
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Even if, let's say we had the same goals, right?

274
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Whatever that goal might have been.

275
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
And through year, day to day, you travel, whatever,

276
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
you figure out how to streamline and get to that point.

277
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
And then you got, I'm gonna champion 100%.

278
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Even if I don't like it, I'm still going championing you.

279
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
And the reason being is, you just showed me that it was possible.

280
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
So that part of it, I no longer have the question.

281
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Can it be done?

282
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Yes.

283
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
This person right here is proof that it can be done.

284
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
So that tells me that I can do it too.

285
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Don't mean I can do it the same way you did it.

286
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
I still got to find my own way.

287
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
But you have shown me that it can be done.

288
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
So, you know what I mean?

289
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Like, that's, I think that's the mindset that more people should have.

290
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
But who am I to say that?

291
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
But like a lot of brothers, a lot of sisters, people in general,

292
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
like a lot of people, like we use their lives, their livelihoods.

293
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
It's just nonsensical shit.

294
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Because we're out here trying to compete,

295
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000
but we just got like a deep seed of hatred for a nigga who's upon themselves and who not.

296
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Like, I'll never understand that like thought pattern, that type of mindset where like,

297
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
it's kind of happened on like some local rappers shit, like, especially in my city,

298
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,000
which kind of feel cliche to say because every nigga from every city pretty much has the same thing.

299
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
It doesn't make it less true though.

300
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
But if I'm speaking from like personal experience, like,

301
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I've known a couple of rappers from the city who were super popular, super talented,

302
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
and they like died the gun violence.

303
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
And then, you know, not saying I'm some like insider or some shit,

304
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
but you know, you know, motherfucker who know motherfucker.

305
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
And the news, the social media painted as whatever, whatever the circumstances is.

306
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
But then you actually run into, you know, people who are part of that day to day lives,

307
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
and they tell you what actually happened.

308
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,000
And he's like, God damn, he died over something that petty.

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Damn, he didn't even know the niggas who did that to him.

310
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
They just watched him from afar.

311
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
It was like, damn, I can't do shit.

312
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
So fuck it.

313
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I'm gonna take him like, I'll never understand that shit.

314
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Like, but at the same time, I do understand as bad as violence is.

315
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
I can understand the place for it.

316
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000
The reason behind it is usually like what a change my view on the circumstance,

317
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:36,000
because I mean, not to be grim, but, you know, like life isn't meant to last.

318
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:43,000
And with that being said, or with that having that mindset, having that level of understanding,

319
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000
you appreciate your time or you utilize your time and, you know, better ways,

320
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,000
more beneficial ways towards whatever your, whatever your goals are, whatever you're trying to achieve.

321
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:04,000
So, you know, I heard somebody say once like, yo, why wait till tomorrow for some shit you could do today?

322
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And that's a great question.

323
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000
And you just ask me, it was like, yo, what's you trying to get done, bro, man?

324
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Yo, I want to start shooting content and making videos.

325
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Okay.

326
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
When you want to start?

327
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I don't even know, you know, I just like, well, nigga, you got the idea in your head, correct?

328
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Yeah.

329
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
You got a phone in your pocket, don't you?

330
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Yeah.

331
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
You got access to the internet?

332
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
You got social media?

333
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Yeah.

334
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
What are you waiting on?

335
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
No, I mean, you know what?

336
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
They'll give you a thousand and one excuses why a later time is a better time.

337
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000
And I can say at like some junctions in my life, like I had like the same type of shit where it's just like,

338
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I'm just like, you know, cultivating a catalog of like music.

339
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And it's just like, yo, nigga's like, yo, can you put it out?

340
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000
And it's like, you know, and I would never really have a real justifiable reason for not wanting to do it.

341
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I think it's that one, everything to be perfect shit.

342
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
It's just like, who got time to chase perfection?

343
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
You know what I'm saying?

344
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
You actually got to find the perfection within your imperfections.

345
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Because if it's too polished, you know what I mean?

346
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
It come off disengaging sometimes.

347
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Sometimes niggas want like that raw experience and shit, but it depends on what audience you're trying to cater to.

348
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
So, you know what I mean?

349
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Like, hypothetically, let's say you work in a blue car like that.

350
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:44,000
You work in a blue collar environment where like, you know, it's easy to identify with the people around you.

351
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Like your upbringing is with similar, let's say some of your deficiencies are similar.

352
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Like you can find commonality in that as opposed to, you know, you're in a, you're in a,

353
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
your surroundings are like white collar.

354
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:11,000
And like, I mean, you can't find like, compatibility with, you know, like, not trauma, not like trauma bonding.

355
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,000
So it's not that it's just like, you know, it's, you can't hold a conversation with a nigga about like,

356
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
damn man, I've been one time growing up already, cereal for dinner.

357
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Just green hand nothing until mom like got like her, you know what I mean?

358
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Government assistance type of shit.

359
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
And then you have some people like, you'll say that, I mean, I'm a nigga who been through that similar thing,

360
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
but like, like, ain't that the truth?

361
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000
And then y'all just start talking about like hood recipes that niggas made out of just necessity.

362
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Like, all right, we got this and this, these shits don't go together, but fuck it, we're going to make it work.

363
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And then you have people who were like, well, why did you serve dinner?

364
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Like, why didn't you just, you know, go to grocery stores?

365
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
It's like, nigga, that wasn't an option.

366
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
So actually, you know what?

367
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaking of, what's the top five hood recipes?

368
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000
You know what I mean?

369
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Like, what's the top five go to?

370
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I don't even want to call them struggle meals.

371
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
I want to call them like survival meals.

372
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,000
You don't naturally think it's going to go rhyme in the orders and noodles or whatever you call it.

373
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Like, cheap, sizzling, you know what I mean?

374
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So that might be number one on like top five survival menu.

375
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Like, that might be dish number one.

376
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
You know what I mean?

377
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,000
If you want to get fancy, fry some hot dogs, chop them bitches up, put them in the noodles, you know what I mean?

378
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich got to be a cool second.

379
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Again, savory, sweet, protein, bread, fill you up.

380
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
You not got one of them bitches, maybe two of them if you're real hungry, you're straight.

381
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Bag of rice can't go wrong with that shit either.

382
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Cook that rice up.

383
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
You can put sugar in that shit, make it sweet rice or, you know what I mean?

384
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Throw the garlic powder, the black pepper, some, you know what I mean?

385
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Some, you know, some red pepper flakes or like some like cayenne pepper in that bitch.

386
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I mean, boil it, put it in the pan with a little butter, fry that shit up a little fried rice and shit.

387
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
That shit it get it done too.

388
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:33,000
I'm telling you bro, like, I was talking to one of my homeboys and shit, and we was kind of talking about like the struggle mills and shit.

389
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000
And this nigga said, like, we don't like the struggle mill draft type of shit.

390
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
And he was like, yo, he taking potatoes number one.

391
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
That's it. Potatoes number one.

392
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
And he said, yeah, bro, go that bitch, you to bake potatoes, you know what I mean?

393
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Mash potatoes.

394
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I was like, what else?

395
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Fried potatoes.

396
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I was like, all right, you cooking a little bit nigga, no pun, you cooking?

397
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000
But I never, I'm never putting potatoes in my top five survival mill menu.

398
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Like, I'm just not doing it.

399
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I'm getting wrong. I like potatoes, but like, occasionally.

400
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Oh, granted, you can make french fries with the bitch or two.

401
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Oh, this nigga might be on to something.

402
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,000
The potatoes might be top five survival mill essentials.

403
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,000
I still think ooze and ooze is number one, but peanut butter and jelly being a close number two.

404
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:33,000
And the reason, you know what, peanut butter and jelly might actually take the number one spot because it doesn't require like, any like, cooking other shit.

405
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:41,000
No, you got two pieces in my fucking put some on one piece of bread, some on the other piece of bread and straight with the noodles.

406
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Got bored of water, pot draining, hit that bitch with a little seasoning pack, put a little butter in there.

407
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
You know what I mean?

408
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Oh, no.

409
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000
I don't know.

410
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I might I might put this shit up on my IG and like do like a little.

411
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
You like a little survey like top five struggle mill type of shit.

412
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000
She never go wrong with tuna fish, but it depends on how you cook it.

413
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Because like, yo, I didn't I didn't been over like people house and shit.

414
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
They didn't make tuna fish.

415
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000
And I'm thinking, it's like a teaspoon of mayonnaise and that shit is basically cat food.

416
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
No, I want mayonnaise in my shit.

417
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Chop things.

418
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000
You know what I'm saying?

419
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,000
I put chopped pickles in my shit.

420
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Yeah, she's that shit up with the old Bay, the black pepper, the garlic powder.

421
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Yeah, I mean, put a little dill in that mom fucking if you want to be fancy like, you know what I'm saying?

422
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Little Reagan on to if you want to like little tea, maybe like a squirt of muscle to give it at the city.

423
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Let that motherfucker sit for about 30 minutes.

424
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Let it demonstrate.

425
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
So that motherfucker can grab with chest and suck.

426
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Come on, man.

427
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
I don't even know how I got this fucking subject.

428
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Oh, maybe it was about like, you know, being around people you can identify with.

429
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000
So yeah, like being around like motherfuckers who ain't used to like, you know,

430
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
survival shit, like it'll make you want to punch him in the face.

431
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000
But the it's not that thought though.

432
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Like, you know, a person can only be what they know.

433
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And if that's not their experience, like, you know, you're not going to relate on that.

434
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000
But I don't know.

435
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
I see it in my day to day.

436
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Well, like because of the atmosphere or that setting, like motherfuckers are just talk crazy.

437
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Like, like, like getting punched in the face is like not an option.

438
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
It's like, nigga, it's always an option.

439
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
So I don't know.

440
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
I don't want to get you personal, but yeah, I think I'm going to try to even though the money is good,

441
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,000
I can get pretty much the same money, you know, in the atmosphere that I like that I would feel,

442
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I guess would be my comfort zone, I guess.

443
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:01,000
At least like, you know, socially like identifiable, like, I feel like I'm around a bunch of fucking squares

444
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:08,000
and like, it's, if I hate it, 20 jokes, passive aggressiveness, fucking fake tough niggas like,

445
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I hate it.

446
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
I mean, like, I don't know.

447
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Anyways, I'm rambling, but shit, that's what I do.

448
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,000
That's what this shit is.

449
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
This is what it's meant for.

450
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I'm coming in just rambling to say I feel, but I ain't gonna lie.

451
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I think next episode will be like episode 25.

452
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000
So I think I might, I think on these next like two episodes, maybe in the first like 10 minutes,

453
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000
the first five minutes, I'll give like bits and pieces of like my origin story, like,

454
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,000
where I'm from, the shit I've done, what makes me the person I am today.

455
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000
You know, the friends I grew up with, the friends I lost, first relationships,

456
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:59,000
not understanding how relationships work, fucking, you know, my educational background,

457
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000
like how far, how much I achieve with like the music shit,

458
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
just for those who don't know me.

459
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And for some who do, like, I done been to record label meetings, I done opened up to like mega stars,

460
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
I done fucking traveled this country, I done went out the country.

461
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
You know what I mean?

462
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Like, I don't know.

463
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I went further in my education after all that shit.

464
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
I done worked at Fortune 500 companies.

465
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
You know what I mean?

466
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Like, I don't know.

467
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
I got a sick little story.

468
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
All this what dealing with street politics,

469
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
dipping my toes in the water outside, you know what I mean?

470
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Trying to, you know, gain validation to like learn my worth.

471
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
I done seen fucking murders in person.

472
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I done seen, I done seen some shit.

473
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
You know what I mean?

474
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Like, to where like if I told my fuckers like how I played out it,

475
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
like, fuck, it's 100 bits and accurate.

476
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:10,000
But anyways, damn, it was so much I can go into,

477
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,000
but I want to get too deep into any particular subject and run past the, you know what I mean?

478
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Run past like the allotted time I set for myself.

479
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Like, I try to always keep these things on the 30 minutes so they can be quick, they can be digestible.

480
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,000
I mean, take a little 30 minutes out today, listen to your boy and then, you know, do the rest of your day.

481
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Even though I like long form like podcasts, like the drill button shit.

482
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Like, when I go to log on, I see that the episode was like four hours.

483
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
I'm like, oh, bet we let.

484
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Like, if I see a drill button podcast, it's like under two hours, I go, hey, what the fuck is going on?

485
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
But, you know, that's like some being greedy type of shit.

486
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Like, but, and he got a whole team.

487
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
So like, with this shit is, you know, just me basically.

488
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
So there is nobody like the bounce back and forth for all.

489
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000
So I just give you whatever's on my mind, whatever I seen throughout the week, whatever I think next week is going to hold for me.

490
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I just give you that.

491
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,000
But anyways, like I always say, I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

492
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,000
And with that being said, I want to thank any and everybody who took the time out that day to listen to this.

493
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Whatever goal you chase and hope you get one step closer to that goal.

494
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:31,000
If not achieving it all together and then once you achieve that goal, what you will set a new goal and then work towards that.
