didn't get a chance to like really we didn't get a chance to talk you know I'm such a huge fan thank you I can't even like thank you I can't even like feel like a kid right now man like this is crazy I remember I listened to your first album it was a long time ago it really didn't go nowhere but I listen to I listen to rap and I heard you talk about cuss oh yeah yeah yeah record yeah the first album I believe it was yeah man I I've seen like pretty much every documentary every every fight I've seen like everything that's available you know what I'm saying like I'm humbled right now I feel like I feel like a kid again why do you why did you become who you were why did I become who I was um why would you want to do this you know um I just loved hip-hop growing up as a kid I just you know it was like like it it just it spoke to me more than any other music I had ever heard before you know from early like iced tea to Fat Boys um and then LL Cool J uh Run DMC Beasty Boys and it just like I don't know it was like I I didn't I didn't first first I was a fan of the music you know what I'm saying before I even thought about rapping L Cool J was the one who made me like first start writing Rhymes and I was like 12 13 maybe and it sucked you know I wasn't good but like I had to keep deep practicing and practicing and practi I I gave it up for a little while then I started again back when I was like 15 and started being able to kind of put songs together and then I just was like I'm starting to I was never really good at much else you know so I just I don't know once I found out I was decent at something I just kind of focused and just you know went for it that's interesting cuz I remember I was I was in the Juvenile Detention Center and we heard um I'm not we heard rappers theight we said what the [ __ ] was that how could it we heard it in the streets in our neighborhood but we never thought it' be on the radio yeah and it was on the radio and we like what the hell was that and we were just all blown away the thing that our music was being played on the radio yeah you know how about the fact that Rappers Delight was like a seven seven some odd minute song yeah and the radio played it they played it from top to bottom like it was so popular it was all off the hook mhm and then nucleus Jam On It Jam On It y yeah yeah man I was like yeah I never really I never really like got into rock and roll or uh R&B or blues or anything like that I just like I you know I listen to songs on the radio or whatever my mom was listening to in the car but once hip hop came along I just felt like man this is like I don't know I just was all in yeah um hip-hop was a I just can't even imagine it it gave you Pride yeah you know like us being the like um look the Prototype of hip-hop at the beginning of it it gave us Pride to know that our music people talk the way we talk with being on television being on um the radio and stuff yeah yeah it gave us a lot of Pride back then yeah and it's it's also like it's just such a if you think about like how hip hop from the start of it well I was there yeah and then it just like Le out in the front of every hip-hop club you got the the whole New York police station out in front of the club yeah it was just it was just and if you went to a hip-hop club and you were mock people say oh you even in your neighborhood you hardcore bbop hip hop and this what the you with those [ __ ] for Mike that's what they say what you with them for even people in the neighbor what you [ __ ] them [ __ ] for but those was our people all the criminals the thief we all listen to hip-hop the money makers and everything the you know the The Killers the robbers the all the [ __ ] Street urgin we all listen to that that's what we listen to and soon as we listen to We enjoy it but we spot where we um surveying everything we're looking at the people with the jurry the coats the clothes and look like and then we're getting ready to get them after the club is over and that's just what hipop was about all the robbers and thieves were coming there then en the music but after it was over we go on the Rob yeah and that's what hip-hop was about yeah once Breakin came out the movie Breaking and then Crush Groove and beat street man it was like yeah it just put it put the whole it put the whole culture of hip-hop on the map in a in a in a in a place where you could see with the music you know what I'm saying you had the visual and you had you you know graffiti you must you must say this is my way out when you saw that you start getting good you must say this is my way out when I started yeah when I started being able to put songs together and I started like uh you know figuring out like well I might be almost as good as that rapper you know what I'm saying so I'mma keep going and then I start you know just I learned so much like I I I studied how old were you when that started hip-hop uh the first time I heard anything my uncle Ron uh brought over a tape of breaking the breaking soundtrack and it had Reckless on it from IC te once upon a time a DJ's task was just a PL records what more could you ask and I was colors color yeah yeah yeah colors was hard uh yeah my my uncle Ronnie started liking rat before I did and then he kind of introduced me to it and right around that time I think the movie had just come out and I saw the movie and I was like yo this is I love it and it just I don't know it just spoke to me in the way that no other music had spoke to me before I understand that how old were you when you first started putting it out there like started rapping or doing rap battles well I had a weird trajectory like I I was afraid like I I was afraid early on like 15 16 years old I was afraid that to go into any clubs or anything like that to say my raps because I felt like I wasn't good enough yet so I had to get to a certain spot and then I was trying to like I was just making songs and uh one day I got a call from my boy proof and he was like yo you need to come up to the hip-hop shop and I was like what's what is the hip-hop shop sh and he's like yo just come to the hip-hop shop write something come up here and proof like remember proof n he he he uh he ran [ __ ] in Detroit we we like me and him came up together and we came up rapping together but he would kind of go do his own thing and then i' I'd be working like at uh factories and stuff like that and proof was out there like on the grind and he started making connections and then he met Jay Dilla uh slum yeah slum Village um and a lot of the early Detroit Hip Hop that was like exploding onto the scene like proof was such a part of that and I got a chance to when I went to the hip-hop shop I was like what the f he was like yo I'll clear everybody out I'll have like 10 people right and you rap in front of them and if they don't like you you know they they're going to tell you they don't like you if they if they do like you and they [ __ ] with you then you know so I went there I said to rap I got some people jumping around and and I was like okay this might be it for me and then that's when we start having battles at the hip-hop shop and we was having like a battle every what couple months or something every two month yeah every every yeah two or three months but every Saturday I would make sure that I didn't have to work till 4:00 cuz I was going to the hip-hop shop every Saturday so every Saturday for me was and this is early 20s was um St Andrew's Hall on Friday night um Saturday uh hip-hop shop Tuesday ebony showcase and then anybody that know showcase he said [ __ ] I gotta battle him tonight he's here yeah I I well that's what happened I started battling and then in at the hip-hop shop the first battle that we had there I want it but what we was doing proof was taking names and he was putting them in a hat like you if you want sign up the battle you just put your name in the Hat he picks a name picks another name so it' be like bizar versus be flat and then they go at it and it was you know and then me versus whoever I remember one time I battled conniver who was in my group D12 but we weren't a group yet I battled yeah V and um and then I just started like I met a few people that got me out of just Detroit and I started going to I went to like 997 scribble jam and I went all the way to the end and then I lost to this guy named juice who to this day is still a really good [ __ ] rapper and I think that it's he's so good that it's okay that I lost to him you know what I'm saying but he still in Detroit rapping no this was uh this was Cincinnati yeah yeah the scribble Jam was in Cincinnati that was 97 and then I from there I met Wendy day and she put me on her battle team uh she had this battle team that was it was an event in La called the rap Olympics and um she put me on that team I went out to LA and then started B got in that battle at the rap Olympics went all the way to the end and lost again the last dude and I was like super discouraged I just got evicted from my house had to break in through the through the back of the house the dude that we was paying rent to he wasn't paying the rent with it so one day we D this is literally the the day before I go to the rap Olympics that that I and thank God for Wendy day man because she played for my plane ticket but that day we're like what the I come home from work me and my boy and we're like what the [ __ ] all our [ __ ] is on the lawn oh I know that very well so yeah so lation man and they decorated your [ __ ] lawn with your furniture and people was raging got wait outside for nobody take your [ __ ] yeah yep so that happened and then I had to break into the back cuz I had nowhere to stay so I had to break into the house through the back window which was my old window broke in slept on the floor got up the next day went to the rap Olympics and and by the first prize was $500 and I needed that $500 man and I lost and I was like I was [ __ ] devastated and then this kid Dean Ginger walks up to me and he's like he's like yo man you got one of those CDs and I was like yeah and I kind of just tossed it to him right and didn't think nothing of it I didn't know that Dean worked with Jimmy ivene so he gave it to Jimmy Jimmy gave it to Dre and I'm back in Detroit now [ __ ] right nothing like nowhere to go um and I get the call and I'm like oh [ __ ] you know this is about to happen wow it was fast didn't seem fast did it to you huh no I did not yeah nah yeah nah but um I just got to say like I I I bro you you are like a god to me like I I I bro you you've done so much in your life man that's like just so crazy to be the heavyweight champion at 20 20 years old well you're not Chop Li yourself I'm just saying well I'm saying though but I I'm just saying man like like I I I don't know it takes a lot to be the champ like it takes a lot and and you know I remember seeing the first like the first couple fights when I was when I was younger when you were first like starting to really Pop I had heard about yo you seen this guy Mike Tyson man he's knocking [ __ ] is out in 10 seconds like and the first fight I saw was um which one was the first fight I saw I think was with Trevor Burbank 86 something like that man you knocked him down three times with one punch like I was like what the [ __ ] and ever since then it was like it was like when you fight somebody's getting knocked out it's just a matter of what round you know what I'm saying and like it come from humble's beginnings you know I have to I had to um in order to be the champ I have to I have to get beaten a couple of times yeah I had to learn yeah yeah boxing is hard man it's hard like I I've been boxing for like 13 years just sparring just messing around I mess around with Emanuel Stewart the best yeah is the best yeah man had all the Champions back then CR Jim was just so [ __ ] man everybody was coming down here to see the fighters and stuff yeah Dan LS had all the celebrities coming down he had oh he was the man back then yeah man yeah he was such a nice dude and he would come over he come over to my house and we Spar like twice a week he bring his boxers from the crunk gym I Ricky WX yeah they were really great Fighters I remember the amateur when we were fighting for the Olympics those guys are really great fight yeah yeah man and and Emanuel was like he would this was like 12 13 years ago right so he would he would come over he would show me the basics and it took a lot for me to look it took a long [ __ ] time for me to just learn the basics right so then he started like a after a couple months of us doing it and they were just like you know up andc coming kids and stuff like that would you know and just you want to spar with them and they're like okay cool yeah for sure so I got a funny little story so he's bringing his boxers and this is we're probably like 6 months in and he's bringing his boxers like every week right and I'm getting my ass wh but I'm at least I'm staying with him right I'm getting some good hits in I feel a little bit good about myself so one day he comes over and he brings his boxer from crunk and I'm in the house and I remember like I was on a phone or something so when I came out the dude that he brought had his headgear on right and uh and I'm like oh okay I guess he's ready so I put my strap on my head gear we're going at it and he kicked the [ __ ] out of me [ __ ] me up so after we're done we go like three rounds right I don't think I got one hit in after three rounds he takes off his [ __ ] head gear and I said man how old are you he said 14 I was like man I [ __ ] quit I'm done yeah man you know just um it's funny when you say that cuz some Fighters just um they mature early they may at 14 15 they may the best they ever been and they're not good anymore yeah that's just how it is in life with people they they mature they they Peak at a certain age I Peak at like in my 20s and stuff some people peak in their 30s some people pecking the team it's just weird I feel like if you hit me I would probably die like right now like I still feel like you can I still feel like you could get in there and just [ __ ] people up wow listen that you feel that way and I don't have and I don't even have that en me anymore I don't even have that the mentality to feel like I have to [ __ ] kill everybody's family and stuff I don't have that yeah but I mean I I still feel like you still look like you could punch a [ __ ] brick wall and put a hole in that [ __ ] yeah I saw recently we Nani was showing me um the uh a video you did where you was just [ __ ] around and you was trying to show these dudes how tring to do I think it was a body punch or something yeah yeah yeah and how you jump to the side real quick jump to the other side like man he could get in there right now and [ __ ] up anybody well cers alive he' be say Mike let's fight he has belied that you know you can fight at any age any age fighting fighting yes you can do forever if you have the desire to do it fighting is all about Spirit if you want to do you could do it at any age yeah but it's like but but nobody nobody knocked people out in the way that you did like people people got knocked out by other Fighters but it was like when they got knocked out by you they got knocked the [ __ ] out yeah that's how I looked at it every time I hurt somebody and knocked them out my life gets better yeah my life gets better and better and so I love hurting people now yeah cuz my life is getting better and I'm getting the [ __ ] girl I'm getting the Mansion I'm getting the planes I'm getting the boats I'm getting whatever I want so hurting this beautiful and my perception of my life at the time yeah but it's like to to to to be a fighter though it's like you got to it takes a special kind of person it takes a special kind of commitment you know what I'm saying commitment is um it's almost like you almost have to give your happiness up to accomplish your goals right cuz you're going to um when you do and anything if you want to be the best garbage can collector in the world anytime you want to be the best in the world or anything there going to be disappointments yeah y there's a lot of competition and there going to be guys that peek at younger age that you he's going to blow you away when he's a kid and then you're going to deal with a guy that blows you away when he's a old guy yeah and then it's going to come the time when you're experienced enough the next thing you know you start blowing everybody is everybody gets their turn yeah you know that's just what it is everybody gets their turn yeah but it's like you're you're right though because like like for me rap is like a 247 job and it takes a lot of dedication right and you to stay sharp with the pen and stuff like that but it just takes it's a different kind of discipline to do that you know what I'm saying like and the and the and the and the balls to get in the ring and fight in the first place that listen know why I I I I used love anybody that gets in the [ __ ] ring cuz you just think about it as human beings What fighters do we avoid all of our life getting into a fight and that's what a guy does every day of his life he fights every day of his life and we avoid that [ __ ] yeah it's humiliating if you're not on the right side and if you you don't know how to fight and then you still win it's humiliating you're going to get hurt you know so um people avoid fighting you know it's just it's not normal people are not supposed to fight we're not structured to fight our hands are not developed to fight even for box they break that's why we have to wrap them up and everything we just not human beings are not designed to fight but we do it all it's just part of our DNA to kill one another is just DNA who we are as part of our anything form of murder is a form of self-hate yeah you know when you killing another person it's just it's you reflecting on yourself how you feel about yourself yeah it's interesting though it's like you know boxing is just like a like coming up when I was a kid I got my ass kicked a lot I fought I lost I fought I won you know what I'm saying and it was it was and I and and there was a time there was a point in time where I started getting enough fights and winning enough fights that I felt confident until I started learning some of the fundamentals of boxing and I'm like I don't know [ __ ] I know nothing like listen um we all believe in here that if you get involved with boxing it's a tough man sport boxing is not a tough man sport a tough guy is going to get hurt in boxing he's going to talk funny at the end of the day no one's going to understand him this is a thinking man sport only the smartest win yeah when you get a certain level yeah only the smartest this what tough guys not this is not a tough man sport yeah no I said I look man I I I also know you got a heart so it's like you [ __ ] somebody up and then feel bad later yeah and you be like cuz I you know you be nice to them after the fight like I don't like I hate you during this fight and then I don't hate you anymore and I actually feel bad cuz you might die now that's who we are that's um no that's our fear yeah we're like that we're vicious has been ferocious cuz the fact that we've lost before and we've been disappointed before we don't want that feeling anymore yeah the F the fact that thought that we got to go back to Brownsville you have to go back to Seven Mile that [ __ ] fear that's our biggest fear to go back where we started yep oh yeah subconsciously that's our biggest fear and have to see those people who we grew up with and say hey we I made it and I [ __ ] up I'm back here with these people yeah yeah yeah Milton bur used to say I used to um I had lost a fight and I I was depressed and M bro said what the hell you depressed for you know doing bad is going back to Brownsville you you made $30 million why are you depressed yeah he he he he the old Jewish guys these War villain guys could understand why these guys lose a fight for 30 million $20 million and now he's crying yeah he just going to understand he said if I want to watch he never went to the fight said if I want to watch two millionaires fight I used watch I used I used get out my house in Beverly Hills they F right hey but I want to tell you you said we really we really entertained your um your emerging in rap we thought that was beautiful everybody all nationalities and everything we had to we have to say you're the best you put you put it down we watch you battle we watch you not battle but we watch you um compared with the best we watch you do songs with Jay-Z we watch you do all those guys and you got really ill oh thank you man thank you yeah one of those songs he said yeah you saw me before I just didn't have all these swords before but you say you had armored these guns and swords before yeah oh yeah yeah yeah you met me before yeah didn't have all these guns and swords before yeah I have all these Arsenal the weapons before Marshall steep in the door yeah yeah yeah that was the biggie song yeah yeah you [ __ ] listen are you conscious that you you know you rapping like J B you know you got a blaze right you know you got to put it down cuz if you don't put it down people going to say oh [ __ ] he [ __ ] on you I mean that's how I feel anytime I get on a song with anybody is like man if I don't try to like I have to you know just having that hunger still and trying to like like you said it's it's not about it's not about the money all the time right so it's like when you when you lose a fight and you get depressed is because your competitive nature and your competitive spirit is wounded right because it's the reason that we started doing this cuz we're not good enough it goes in your mouth we're not good enough he's better than me and [ __ ] kills you somebody who's better than you and you believe in your head that you're a God or you're the best or whatever you believe you are yeah yeah yep yeah man yo you was dope in The Hangover Hey listen man I was just very happy to do that I was like 280 lbs I was on cocaine I was I was just do doing I had my prostitute girlfriends at the at the [ __ ] and and this what is this a trailer with me I was just living a [ __ ] life back then I hadn't listen when I did The Hangover I didn't know I went to the club and you know the clubs in Vegas they let me in all the private you know and so when I went in this private spot I saw these white people in these white crew and I looking at these people but then I saw those two girls what's those two girls the two twins what's their name really rich the Owen what's the Owen twins twins twins twins so I saw the two I saw one I saw I saw one of the oen twins that with these guys and I'm in the and it's it's just open it's closed to them and the guy The Bodyguard let me in the guy body guard for the club cuz he knows me all the time I would give him money and he lets me in and we're chilling and stuff we're coked up and we're drinking and then they look at me and they and somebody comes over and say hey you're doing a movie with you in two we're doing a movie with you I said when he said in two weeks I said [ __ ] I didn't know that what the [ __ ] [ __ ] I didn't know that and so I'm going I'm on this movie I'm doing this set and stuff and um I'm just a mess back then so I do this movie and I don't think this movie [ __ ] you know I'm I'm high all the time and then I'm in a restaurant I come out the restaurant you see one of those buses you know the tour bus they see me they must have went to the mov and saw the preview cuz the movie wasn't out yet and then when they saw me it must have been like 30 they all got off the bus and said we love you we saw you in the movie and then my friend zip who's not no longer with he said hey we got something here we're back we're back yeah yeah and then that's been a rap ever since and um Todd Phils been my friend and he and I was out in a club I don't know what club I was at but it was a movie theater and I went there and everybody was all over me and the the guy that produced hangover Todd Phillips who did the Joker he looked and he said listen um I feel proud cuz I feel I'm a proud of this cuz you saw everybody coming up to me he said I feel like I'm a part of this that you know he was proud that everybody was coming up to me and then next thing you know he was I can't even tell you what we doing next but anything it's just um we became good friends that's dope that's dope man yeah it's dope too because like like I you know I was like holy [ __ ] mik can act you know what I'm saying like and then seeing the uh the Undisputed yeah man and hearing you tell them stories that I'm like I so want to know about this yeah you say everybody knew the story but they didn't know the underlying behind the story why did I do that yeah hell yeah getting ready to do round two really yeah oh the round two is so much better than round one we did this all all listen this is really interesting how do you do this I knew you had to do so I'm on the show and I said good night and there's 4,000 people and when I say good night in Toronto they all get up and they come to the stage and they want to touch me and I don't know what to do the security is not doing I don't want these people to think I'm scared and run off I want to run but so I just get caught it was just overwhelming and [ __ ] that people think that way about you and in my mind I always had a low self-esteem I said if these people think much about me they must not be [ __ ] you know what I mean cuz why would you think about me cuz I don't think I'm [ __ ] yeah you know I went through a lot of that [ __ ] too growing up as a kid and just feeling like I wasn't good enough for anything like whatever I did I just wasn't good enough and uh yeah man it's a psychological thing I think that once you for for for for anybody who who doesn't feel who feels like that right like I just feel like I'm not I'm worthless I'm not nothing in this world anybody who feels that and then finds something that they're actually good at it's like a I think that's that's what makes somebody go for that so hard you know what I'm saying yeah like I'm never good at I was never good at nothing I'm good at this you know most the most successful people that ever lived in history are megalomaniacs but they got a low selfesteem yeah they don't think much about theel but they think they're God on the other hand too right you know those are the most successful people they're always challenging that doubt yeah making that doubt um inconceivable that's not true but they still believe it's doubt right even though they prove that it it doesn't stop them from succeeding but they still they still challenge that and it still boses them they still believe they're nothing after they made billions of dollars they still fly believe they're not [ __ ] that's just how the mind [ __ ] with us yeah people also think too like money just buys happiness and it absolutely is not the truth you know what I'm saying like you got to be right inside otherwise none of this [ __ ] means nothing no absolutely they get everything then this is this is something this is everything [ __ ] this PO mhm this is everything I waste my [ __ ] life for this this is everything yep yeah yeah well em you just blew the [ __ ] roof off the Oscars how'd that feel man hey are you surprised that they still ask you to come actually I thought it was the [ __ ] dopest thing I've seen in a long time dude thanks man but I but I'm going tell you why I'm making that face okay cuz when I went out there everything was cool right I I'm I go through the first verse and you know they they they had the pack where your uh the mic pack yeah the mic pack yeah that you wear you know the clip onto

remember I've been Detroit I fought in Detroit you know how listen so and I'm from Browns that's similar to Detroit what's the possibility of you being a s mile from 7 m now you here now what's that how what's the what's the percentage that that that's what I think what's the how do a guy in seven miles get out here how do you get out here and you don't got [ __ ] and you're not in your destitute yeah know how that happen because it's all Dain by the universe me and this guy man denan went through a lot of [ __ ] like when we were I when I we were kids ourselves right and we were still look when I met denan he had just started making beats and we met through a through a mutual friend IQ who was a rapper who was actually on my infinite album and IQ introduced us and then we man we we grinded until like he went through a lot of this we went through a lot of the same things together coming up right so it was like we and we did it together we worked the same job we were roommates we had you know what I'm saying we lived in houses together you guys success became because of your lifestyle success and fame all that stuff comes from lifestyle you know I changed my lifestyle I stopped getting high I stopped drink I stopped everything I stopped [ __ ] girls fact I never had no girl when I was boxing yeah I was too young I didn't have a girl till I was like 19 18 years old you know but um that's all I focus that's why I didn't want any days wanted to fight all I did watch fights all day just from guys from 1890s to now watch them all day that's all I did cuz that's all I wanted to be yeah that's all I knew I knew all the edate about fighting everything anything you ask me about fighting I could tell you how did it begin how did it start I knew everything about fighting yeah I remember what was it I saw a documentary where custom used to make you he would call out numbers oh yeah the Willie yeah like man I could never I'll never live to do that that [ __ ] is that [ __ ] was crazy yeah he was crazy but crazy yeah you know a lot of fighter left him cuz he's so overbearing he's so perfected and if you allowed to stay you have to be crazy too to be with this man cuz I wanted to be the best so bad yeah and only he could do it nobody could nobody Ang no one could inspire me like him I'm one of those guys I'm I'm a dark person I come from a dark world so nobody me a white [ __ ] no one could inspire me like him he inspired me to be better than what I was it's no way I was going to be if I was like Tyson badass [ __ ] from Brownville Brooklyn I still wouldn't have made it because um that was just Brownville Brooklyn he made me believe I was the I was the best fighter in the world has ever produced yeah but you did it though yeah but you did it and you were the best fighter yeah but but in life that's not a good way to think and fighting is great but in life is reckless isn't that interesting yeah to be successful in one field is disastrous in another field right yeah like with you you were great rap but in life you were kind of Shak yeah oh I sh I I have an eighth grade education I you know I no it has nothing to do with the education is with the pressure all of a sudden boom they in your face and they judging people are judging you you got a Lo we have a little weird self-esteem anyway now people are judging us saying things about it and we get defensive and when we get defensive we we play into that game yeah you know y but still even though we do that that this gives us our attention then we get reputations for being crazy and unstable and drug addicts and stuff and then we go through the whole recovery thing I oh listen the best thing that ever happened to me I got involved with the recovery program cuz I met great people but um I'm a um what am I know what I am I am a I am a relapse specialist you know I I just have to relapse even if I'm 5 years straight then I relapse and my relapse is is like my real life starts with thinking of me jerking off a lot of something you know no that just that just start me off I start looking at my porn and I start jerking off and then I start looking at [ __ ] pregant I look at people who I never thought about [ __ ] stuff who's real close to me and that's just who I am you know what I mean those are my those are my habits and those are my flaws and [ __ ] yeah oh the people around me man my people think I'm [ __ ] nuts no you should feel sorry for the people who are not nuts that are around you if you're not if you're not crazy in this crazy world I really feel sorry for you yeah I think my circle of friends is definitely somewhere in the ballpark of my Insanity there's no doubt just to be friends with me um how do we live in this world how do we find out our our purpose you're born and most of us are born [ __ ] in a bad situation and then we say wow what's wrong with us why are we here mhm why do they put us say why these why we not living like these people and stuff and these people look down on us and when we're around these people these people can call a cops on us and the cops won't listen to us and listen to those people yeah then you start saying hey I'm garbage I'm nothing life pro life showing me that I'm nothing and then you run into somebody who you think is Son and he tells you great things about yourself and then you think you're great because this great God told you great things about yourself and then the whole perspective your confidence go to another level proof that's how proof was to me yeah yeah man he was uh he was a godsend to me because he I know that I would not have made it without knowing him because he gave me like not I mean he he he co-signed for me when I went to the shop when I went to ebony showcas he co-signed for me everywhere I went and people respected him his name meant something because they respected him because he was the crazy listen when cuss told those South African guys he say listen we have a black young man in this house he's our family you treat him the way you treat us and he told everybody around all those white he all those guys with power policy this is our son this is this and N my head was so bad he shouldn't have did he never told me I was a niggga that you're not going to make he always said I was Superior than everybody you know isn't that trip he told me I'm better than everybody the reason why those people bothering you cuz they're jealous of you he never had put doubt in my mind that I was [ __ ] up even though I believe that he he just shattered that and made me a in my mind I thought about a demig god it's crazy because that's the one thing you needed that's the one thing you needed in your life to feel like you was special no that's how proof made me feel my confidence was so low I had such a low self-esteem I was just a criminal when I first met cussin I saw I'mma Rob these white [ __ ] and then he gave and then he um how he kept talking to me and gave me self-esteem and then he made me want to be his watch if anybody said anything about him I would kill them I believe you no I'm serious I believe you I believe you he had my mind just like that if anybody disrespect he he made me feel something he made me feel like something I never felt before and I said um if anybody disrespect him I would [ __ ] kill them that's just how cuz in the G that's how you show your love by killing somebody or hurting somebody for some yeah yep I got to ask you when you was going into like them early fights right when you first started coming up you walking to the ring what like what that what is that [ __ ] like um it's really orgasmic it's almost like um like you felt did like did you feel like part of you nervous like tense but the other part like you're going to kill somebody no I'm not nervous I'm scared ah I'm scared yeah cuz I'm a scary guy CU I've been picked on all my life I've been abused all my life people did anything they wanted to me so I have natural fear of not being safe yeah that's just my that's who I am natural it's no it's in my life that's who I am so now I got it with this weird self-confidence and violence and stuff so now I'm sadistic cuz I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt yes my animal now yeah so it's like I got to I got to hit this guy I got to hurt this guy before he hurts me absolutely yeah and not only do I have to do it I have to do it spectacularly for more people want to see me do it again and more people did the more I hurt them the more spectacularly I hurt them the better my life would be yep and that's how my mindset was that's crazy though C loves hurting people other Fighters he loves breaking their ribs the eyes sock the cheekbone he just loves he he he just wanted to see how people work under those circumstances yeah and know I just I just never seen nobody like hit so hard before like I don't like that's got to be something like like what is that like no um I got credit for my punching speed but it wasn't my punching it wasn't my punching power the it was the accuracy and I was fast so I got the I got the punch deer before the other the the other the hard punchers got there you know some guys are hard like Foreman's a hard puncher but he just pounds you hit you in the shoulder hit your arm and [ __ ] you up I'm mean I'm precise I'm hitting you here everywhere I hit you is a reason and normally I get the right results most of the time yeah it's like like the way you sit down on your punches and when you throw those hooks to the body and [ __ ] the objective for the guy don't see the punch those are the punches that knock you out yeah know that's crazy though hell yeah well dude yeah list man can I tell you something this is really good we know you don't do this stuff and this is really cool you don't have to think me man it's equal like you coming here is like such a b we was like we were talking about it and it was in the treatment
