Tray Deee on Tekashi 6ix9ine, Suge Knight, 2Pac, Snoop Dogg (Full Interview)

all right here we go tray deee welcome back Thank You Vlad good to be back man good to see you again yeah you know just to make it official man you're gonna be a regular guest now on flat TV I really appreciate that man I appreciate you giving me an opportunity to express my views and you know I'm saying let's keep this hip-hop culture as we know it progressing absolutely man you know every time you come there's a big reaction that the numbers are always big and you know you know you're want to never hold your tongue Bry right whatever is like this yeah that's what we look for here on flat TV good thing so so before the you know before we started here me and you were talking about x-rated right and we just did an interview x-rated that's X or a ided right x-rated yeah yeah yeah yeah it's now x-rated back in in the early 90s was convicted of a murder him him you know he was part of the [ __ ] gang in Sacramento mm-hmm block guard block Crips exactly there were people with the Bloods which I guess is still happening today decades later and there were two two Bloods that lived in a particular house him him and his crew of other teenage boys went over to the house mm-hmm kicked down the door and ended up killing the mother of the two boys did the boys die - no no just heard they shot just heard they'd seen a shadow I guess they shot and it being the mother she was a 42 year old mother of five grandmother of 11 now a grandmother of 33 you know which obviously she did not get to a - experience the you know him and his crew ranged from like I think 14 years old to about 17 years old mmm kids kids yeah it's really really just kids right right and everyone was essentially convicted I think you know they a lot of them started turning against each other and so forth think the youngest one ended up testifying against them and so forth he got 31 years to life x-rated x-rated of which he's already served 26 of those years okay and we talked about the whole story and what I found interesting was he described gangs as parasitic organisms a gang is a parasitic organism that lives in clothes and feeds on or within another organism without regard for the survival of his house right and that's the definition of a parasite being a life time gang member mmm-hmm what do you think of that explanation I think from being taken off the streets at such a young age at 17 years old you know I can recall doing my first look placement juvenile placement stints and you know Camp Kilpatrick and getting out an excuse me you couldn't you couldn't tell me I wasn't you know almost iog at that time so when I first went to prison and I was able to get back out I went to prison at 18 or 19 I got arrested in turn 19 in the county jail then went to prison at 19 got out 20 21 years old I didn't do that loans just a couple years but I got a chance to get back out from doing four and a half years from the age of 14 to 19 in the Youth Authority so I missed all that part of my youth on the streets he only got to experience so much up to the age of 17 you really don't you don't even got a grasp of what life is to become at 17 so I think about him being taken from the streets at such a young age and having to process that reality from the manhood that he had developed going into prison where you have to be you know you don't have no more time to be a kid then you grow up like that when you go to prison or you get victimized so I've never heard of x-rated being a victim you know throughout the 26 years he's been there we'd never actually spent time in the same prisons but you know he'd be in this prison and you know it oh yeah x-rated off in he just dropped the albumen this not another I don't even think I was in the music then when I first started going to prison as far as creating music so I mean you know having to process that at 17 being a part of a gang and what he sacrificed which was his life for the game and realizing that there wasn't no yellow brick road you know I'm saying it is bad for everybody you know I'm saying unless you get the opportunity to grow older and mature and you know attain the level of respect where you don't have to impress nobody no more and you can kind of like slide out and become a grown individual where this man whether it's man or female you know I mean so both both sexes you have to get a level of G status to be able to to be able to I I don't participate in that lifestyle no more y'all know me and you know y'all know how I got you know y'all know my bond to this if I'm needed on that level I'm there but you know I did sacrifice 20 30 years to this so now let me x-rated ain't never got to experience that so he's process and his answer from a 17 year old kid got taken off the streets for the potentially the rest of his life God willing he'll be let out you know God willing there had some clemency these thirty three great-grandchildren and all this you know hopefully there see some compassion and them to maybe give him another try what's his record like you know how is he you know what's he been doing since he'd been damn you know I mean but in in the case that he's don't this is somebody that sacrificed a life for a gang at seventeen so his view of homies keeping it real and this is some months that he you know probably went you know apart from his hustle he probably couldn't get home he's descending a hundred dollars to go to the store the next month or he won't you know he said a packing slip to the set and you know they couldn't come up with the money to send him a package to happen so he can keep fresh shoes on the yard because he he got an image to uphold him leaving off the streets with a name and you know sustaining the name from from that point so I think he's just real it's just deeply analytical to the point where he would compare it as being parasitic because I really actually have love for my little homeboys you know and I would I steer them in different directions then you know man with Dan wasn't gonna take you not to do that you know saying you know at this point you got talent or you know it's a better road homie just pause for a minute to think about it you know I interact with mine like that in a I don't and I don't think he made a point about young homies wanting to overtake the G homies reputation and become their more better than them and that's not how my gang is structured is there a baby treaty no no no little trade either it's a little tray there's a little trade it's a little trade he's been down like sixteen years now he he gets out about the next couple of years he out of twenty years sentence and you know based on his behavior behind the wall he had to do most all I think he had like eighty percent or it was his first time or something he couldn't did fifty I don't know but he he's been terrorized even even County Jail you know they like you know I did man how let your little homie up here man he ain't listening to nobody he you know he full fledge so yes one you know and that's that's it so somebody took your name I gave him money gave him well that's sorry that's what I meant so you gave somebody your name mm-hmm he's not related to you or anything not at all okay but he's someone that looked up to you yeah okay yeah so he became little tradie yes but he's not trying to overshadow your name you feel no no he's just trying to magnify the genus of the name you know that's his that's his whole get down you know whatever my bit well however I feel my big homie would push the line that's how I push the line just as hard I'm not gonna deviate from you know I'm saying I know here handle a situation and you know I'm a enforce it even harder if you know just to let y'all know it I'm not just running in his shadow you know I'm saying I'm an extension of him that's a real little homie right there okay but are there gangs were it doesn't work that way with a little home he tries to eclipse the the big homie oh well I'm sure you know it's a lot of gangs that have internal beef cracking off and you know I'm saying that you have cliques within these sets you know oh we the you know we did tiny lokes and you know we the we did Dog Foundation and things like that so you have different factions within a set and their Nate like kind of like beef with each other like on some lightweight [ __ ] you know I'm saying but then it would actually turn into something serious or it had just died down and if they turn to something serious then you know that's how sets cease to exist certain sets no longer exist and they they fraction to the point where you know they not effective as gangs no more they just the name of a gang well when I read about x-rated story and you know just a side note he doesn't actually remember saying this mm-hmm during his trial but then getting of the trial was whatever 26 27 years ago but based on what I read he insisted on testifying during the trial and he got on the stand and understand and said yes he was a violent gang member and yes he was proud of it which at 17 shoot oh wow you don't know what you're saying you want to be but I threw a chair at the judge when I got sentenced to five years in the Youth Authority I was 14 years old the judge yeah my sister was five years at 14 years of age I just lost it for a third of your life exactly so you know it's like what do I do cry now you know I'm saying I've you know you explode you do you young you don't have no control what I think it would be best for me to handle this just open case where my appeal come they won't have this to use against me you know you know you're not thinking like they like these [ __ ] just gave me 31 life [ __ ] everybody I'm gonna go kill some oh [ __ ] you call me so so you get sentenced you pick up the chair that you were sitting on yeah and you threw it at the judge little thin as a [ __ ] it barely made it across the counter you know I'm saying but yeah I tried you know I'm saying from what you know you sitting out of the stand is right here you know and you sitting in front of the judge so you have to it's the stenographer in between y'all and everything you don't have direct access to I threw it it probably made it a third of the way towards the bench you know I'm saying it they drugged me up out of there you know drugged me back to the laws for jury knows and threw me in the box and you know I knocked the window out and was you know kicked on the door for 2 3 hours I was just it was like man y'all taking me off the streets for five years I couldn't you know it was just rage so that was kind of mild just for him to make a statement like that not r-mo like you know [ __ ] I don't know how would it took this was well I mean you're talking about a reaction he's talking about during the actual trial he's getting on the stand and saying that he said that understand understand oh I thought that was after they say no no no at this on the stand he took what he you know because most times people don't take the stand in there you know in a murder do you abuse Lee advised the gear he advised against it right but he took it he had probably defender probably probably got a lot of us man they got allowed us be a lot of brothers shelves like that yeah he took the stand and he told the jury yes he was a violent gang member in the se was proud of it although when I talk to him he didn't exactly remember that but he said oh but I could tell you that it would have been true if that's what I said it was probably true no Charlie true yeah so I mean I believed in what I believe you did and uh and for all the testing purposes I still believe in it but without what I believed in it what up and leave a powder is what is purposely technically really before um it's a it's a sad kind of mentality you know I mean because I truly believe a friend of mine Shaka Senghor who who murdered somebody who went to prison for a long time they wrote a book about it now in the United States yeah okay he said that you are not determined by your worst moment especially when you're a child you know that that you just because you may have murdered somebody does not necessarily mean that your entire life should be over at that point I don't think so either yeah I don't think so either yeah I mean you know they say they you know they gave was the maturity age of twenty-one for males and then later on like maybe no more than ten fifteen years ago they said it was actually 27 years of age when the male brain actually fully mature so you making decisions 17 16 15 years old you know you have course you deserve another chance I mean unless you know you haven't reformed in any way you know you just you know ain't made no you know kind of steps toward correcting yourself and reforming yourself you know from that way of thinking or whatever the rage was out of urge words or you know the situation was to cause you to murder somebody I think there's one thing of being a serial murderer yeah well you're you know like a Jeffrey Dahmer type certain type of people I feel should just be put away almost definitely well you know it wasn't a kid though he was you know saying you know yeah he was don't doing this yeah or like I'm like a Dylan roof you know who came in and killed all the people in the church mm-hmm well I mean hmm you know looking at it from a human perspective and you know I was I think we discussed last time when we talked on ovals on off-camera how you know I was a fan of psychology and you know human behavior and things of that nature so actually I can't even condemn that guy you know I'm saying for the rest of his life for what he did that was $1 yeah Dylan really no that was one act he was a kid how was he raised with you know would Nazi memorabilia all in this house and who was his parents who was his friends what were his influences that led him to just be so callous as to go in here and spend a couple hours with these people and then turn around and murder just innocent people that's that's that's I don't know I don't even know what that is well he wanted to start a race war at what age 17 how old was he 17 let's find out Dylan roof was 23 oh man grown man and this happened yes last year last year so use what 22 yeah last year or a year before one maybe there okay wait he was a grown man okay yeah [ __ ] yeah I thought he was a kid I thought he looked like a kid three okay so my bad it was 2015 2015 so 40 years old you're 20 years old yeah well I mean he should have knew better but I mean that wasn't he don't know what a wreck what will what a race war will actually cause you know I'm saying no one knows so you wanting to start a race war Twitter you just wanted to make a name for yourself that's like somebody want to shoot up a school yeah you know I'm saying you noticed I mean man my wife was talking you notice how that never happens in the urban community well it's interesting because snoop went on his Instagram recently mm-hmm he said that if you want to stop some of these school shootings in these white schools you should have metal detectors the way they do in some of these you know lower-income schools mm-hmm did you have a metal detector at your school oh [ __ ] I got kicked out of school in third grade what okay okay they're great yeah I kicked out of school in the third grade and you know went to continuations classes up until like about seventh grade and it was just so you never really went to school basically okay third grade well what happened in third grade to get you kicked out well I had a fight with the teacher third grade yes she was trying to kick me out of school and some something went on I don't know exactly how we got to the physical combat but I remember she actually flipped me her name was Miss to Canada she's a Japanese teacher I mean she flipped me in karate oh yeah yes she told me to go to the office and stand I wouldn't climbed on the roof and tore some tiles off and when they opened the class for him to come out I start throwing towels at her and everybody in all this so they told me they didn't we'll be back at signally Elementary okay and then they became just you know Longfellow and you know Hughes and frame cleaning all these long beach unified school district schools nobody wanted me there so okay so you you never really experienced what most kids go through schools friends proms none of that and then it was there it was there something going on at home that caused this type of anger I really wasn't angry I just wanted stuff you know I'm saying and you know we really wasn't affluent and you know we was you know we never missed a meal you know but it wasn't like I can be you know a mom give me $400 to go shopping you know and you know and that's you talking about taking all the bill money okay you know I mean so you know I wanted to get out there and you know my brother had lowriders and stuff like that so you know I wanted to get my own stuff making money for myself I started off pretty young getting a job was just not a not an option I never had a job in my life you never had a job in your life you never had a job in my life about less you know tell them on the streets where I went and signed an application and that's interesting I mean I started having by the grace of God I'm thankful you know I'm saying I start rapping at the age of 28 years old before that it was you know get it the best way you know how you know right but I've been successful in music since the age of 28 yeah we're like a couple decades went up until they're the age of 28 we even though you were getting money six I think somewhere yeah but I mean even though you I mean you you were you were paying for not having a job in other ways oh yeah sure yeah oh yeah I wish I would have worked and you know did you know did a lot of things smarter as far as being a civilian and you know I think I could have went real far in school if I would have tried you know and um you know who knows I probably would have wanted to be an educator it's like because you're a very intelligent guy Thanks appreciate that yeah yeah I became himself educated though because they used to I used to go to board when I was in Youth Authority like I said from 14 to 19 and they would you know make all these comments about my behavior and personality and use words like narcissistic and you know uh you know anti-social and things of this nature and I'd be like man I need to know what they talking about so I would go get the dictionary in in my pursuit of these words I would see more words that would interest me so you know and then I figured how to use them and I like to read books so it was a blessing you know I was more of a mental person and wanting to lift weights and tell war stories you know yeah I mean I mean it's interesting how how a person turns out based on their environment how you could take the exact same person you could take a set of twins you throw one in your situation you throw another one in a in a rich family in private school and you get a completely different result you would you would you know yes you definitely would it's no question about that and you know it's definitely your environment and back to what x-rated said about being parasitic that's his understanding because that's how he feels about his sacrifice you know I'm saying it's a big sacrifice and a lot of people have made that sacrifice you know just being out there coming outside every day with the mentality that I'm gonna hurt somebody for the furtherance of my game you know I mean if I get hurt in the process you know so what distant line I'm pushing right now but do my best not to but you know it's on right now we're in the war zone he just did it in the form of doing a crime and it went all bad for him you know and like I said you know I don't think he should he was 17 years I don't think he should never come home again because I'm sure with him holding these type of views that he's really analyzed what life is and what did you know what it means to have life and appreciated and be a responsible human being so I think he'd probably do a lot better than people would imagine just looking at his case and you know oh he killed someone and he doesn't send he said you know he's a violent gang member and he's not yeah you don't feel the same way from year to year as a person sometimes you know so do you know about Takashi six nine yeah nobody Takashi said that he's not gonna check in regardless of where he goes mmm-hmm in any state first and foremost what is checking in mean [ __ ] checking it man just checking in you know I'm saying like you check into hotel you're now saying you check in with your peoples you know me if you got people's if you don't got no peoples I don't see what do you I don't see who you gonna check who you gonna check into the person you supposed to be scared of from that spot I don't I you know checking in you check in with you folks I mean I don't I don't know I'm I I was gone for a while I'm not I'm not familiar with this with the Czechia system you know well you know I think Nipsey Hussle did an interview mm-hm and he said that it's kind of like a friendly threat saying like yeah you got to check in with me so you'll be okay but after that you know it's kind of hard to sort of really fathom this whole thing you know what I'm saying well I think I think if you if you run in the circle of someone then you're gonna check in naturally you know I'm saying I'm going to be in your town on me you know I'm saying hold me down you know we used to do that with the cats in New York you know sound out DJ scratch EPMD DJ you know couply mocast supreme you know he down now but his boy BJ them they come hold us down you know I mean and make sure we was right you know I'm saying when we was out there and then before we slide out you can't saying they're come you know okay cool and we we make them kind of changes and I loved and hauled them all that but when you go to other spots I go to Atlanta I got home he's out there so i'ma check with my home he's like imma want to be right when I'm out there right but if it's not your homie and they're saying that you got to check in check who I'm checking in with I mean how you know who-who am i checking in with what you know what what do who's the man out here visit um you know if it's a certain man now I know they got certain states where you know in certain cities where this particular person is you know his name rings loud so I mean you know you can probably go check in with him if you want to be cool with the underground scene you want to be able to move around and touch bases not on a commercial level well I think what it's really referring to is that people start creating these no-fly zones right mm-hmm where and I think it kind of happened - Takashi to a certain degree where yeah he was hopping around la a little bit but he wasn't doing any shows mm-hmm fact I thought he was I think he was supposed to do a show in like San Diego and that got cancelled why because a certain figure in that in that neighborhood would say would put the word out and said well if a show goes down in my city we're gonna [ __ ] the show up mm-hmm oh yeah yeah okay yeah you got people that do that you got people to do that so yeah I guess he you know I guess he survived because he backed calling himself the king in New York cuz I'm right right I mean you know there was an altercation at the airport he almost made it yeah I saw it I saw it dude I mean it was it was right it was right for what it was worth but I don't think those those were even LA guys they're like some Houston good Holly raffle raffle ah yes jay printz it's nothing that God goes everywhere yeah yeah I mean it's a it's an interesting thing man cuz I guess cuz I guess this is what happens when you're a when you claim to be gang-related mm-hmm you can't really roll around with cops you know that's that will get you off the gangster radar median right like me personally my security is is cops right in LA right everybody knows that I can freely talk about it I mean yeah you know severe you yeah yeah you know cuz to me that's the best choice because you know you want to go up against LAPD that's that's the biggest gang in LA very much pretty much a lot of Tears I don't know some pretty much about it and I cover a lot of territory yeah I don't think there's a pretty much about flat-out to you yeah you're not out gonna get you're not out getting the LAPD you know they'll pull up with the with those big armored vehicles and the helicopters right yeah I don't know a single gang anywhere that has a helicopter I don't not not in America what ah not a attack helicopter Vlado so with some fried cotton okay yeah not no gunships on yeah baby may be right but you ain't going to guess right you know you know drive-bys with helicopters there's no flybys in America yeah LAPD got those LAPD got those so so you kind of sometimes you sort of paint yourself into a corner yeah you can easily especially today you know I mean with everything you do being you know viewed and magnified yeah I mean you can't really hide nothing that goes on if you in the spotlight cuz you know your story is what propels you know sales of the music and of you know the media well you know I think like you know cuz him and Trippi red were beef in a think they still are beefing but I guess he was saying that he was paying Crips for pretty know that takashi was paying Crips for protection and so forth mmm-hmm how often does this happen that the the paying of gang members for protection very often very often yeah how often that turns to extortion though was it you know what's funny about that is that it's extortion a mental perspective it's like you know that you know I got a lot of control around here and you know you're a target of a lot of people so if you don't have my level of protection then you might not survive why are you around so like you say you civilian you got the LAPD yeah I'm saying who gonna run up against that boom you got this cat he got to 300 people that's ready to ride for him at any minute he can send a team out with you you know I'm saying to make sure you straight while you move around you just paying homage for protection that's you know that's you know if you call it extortion then it's only meant to extortion you figure it your squad ain't strong enough to hold you down the one you moving with so you need an extra level of protection that's just that's just the extra layer while you're out in that particular region right but how often have you seen that turn into well you gotta keep paying me if I'm not coming to your city why I gotta keep your hand you ain't paying you nothing if I'm not who you know if I hey when I come back out there we gonna connect you know you will hold me down you might hit me I mean I got this new artist man could you do a song waiting for me or something like that okay cool that's love so now it becomes love you know I'm saying he looks out he really [ __ ] with our gang it ain't really he paying us it's like we [ __ ] with him now and he [ __ ] with us so we gonna hold him down why you out here you know I'm saying it don't be you know I gotta bring him a briefcase every time I'm out here you know me but some you do something you know some you get at like that because you know they got a weak team or weak squad you know I mean it's just life you know predator and prey right because I mean and that's and that's kind of the problems that when you don't have actual police with you you're dependent on that situation like or you just be the one quick draw mcgraw I mean look what happened with the Tupac situation mmm-hmm you know when when you look at what happened in New York he started so setting himself with Haitian Jack right because Tupac always had issues with the police right right he did bust on the ponies right exactly well he couldn't use the police yeah he never could have because of who his mother was and so forth but you know he started rolling with one of the official Street dudes in New York mhm and ultimately you know things started to unravel after the whole rape thing you know and then you know somebody tail then some I snitch well they were saying how Tupac did an interview and started naming some of the guys and you know the didn't call Haitian jackets needs yeah okay well that had to do with the with the rape trial I think mmm did you see that Jana Jackson oh that was the one who was supposed to be holding him down why he was out there he was supposed to be this powerful figure holding him down but he was the snitch I don't get it I don't get that story well they got tied in to the whole rape trial right mm-hmm it was uh you know did you see that Jana Jackson interview that I did mm-hmm you know where all of them were together they all get arrested and then Haitian Jack's case gets separated right that happens and you know and I actually know Haitian jack we talked about it he said the reason why the case was separated was because there was a gun that was found in the hotel and Haitian Jack wasn't staying at the hotel so that's why the case got separated okay burn to him Tupac saw it as oh you know they're separating he's gonna tell you that assumption gets made often it yes it does yeah it does you know and when you don't know what's going on you're paranoid you feel like everyone's turning against you you start doing interviews you start doing songs facts facts so outspoken like that yeah you not talk never held his tongue not a bit yeah yeah so no I'd like that's why I asked I I didn't know the situation I heard this and that I heard he figure you know I'm saying a powerful figure you know I'm saying in I hear him calling him a snitch on record and you know I don't get involved in stuff way over there you know I'm saying cuz I stay business but you know it just made me watch people a little bit differently if they named I put out there in a negative fans yeah I think that was what the with a snitch what the snitch accusation was about I don't think you know I mean who knows well who knows what was really happening behind the scenes right you know with the government or anything you know Haitian Jack ultimately got deported mm-hmm you know he's he's out of the country these days gotcha and you know everything ended and it vary drastically mm-hmm but you know I think I think with that with that whole situation some of Haitian Jack's people were the ones who shot up Tupac right at quad Studios right right you know Jack said he had nothing to do with it but he said that his people took it upon themselves to send a message this down the third and it wasn't biggie people know yeah cuz they were I read Biggie's book and he was you know he was like we was upstairs like we seen him you know the home he seen him coming up and they was like we up here let's go you are saying where you had he like all I'm gonna be down here I'm gonna come up there you know get out with y'all so you know I don't think it's like it's like you compare that to social media today you know ain't nobody gonna holler out the window and be like hey we up here you know I'm saying okay somebody go down there and shoot him you know I'm saying that you're gonna look out the window you know and go down there and handled a business oh he coming up well I think parks issue would big wasn't that he felt he he set him up but he compared it to a situation that happened with Treach so I guess at one point I had I had heard about this story from a few different people there was some incident I think was at The Comedy Store or something in their life another way right where Treach and POC and them got into in the rollin 60s mm-hmm and things just went crazy art there was shooting at the cops like you know it was it was just uh the mess mm-hmm and park said that he went out of his way being you know that he was living in LA at the time he went out of his way to get the rolling 60s and Treach to work it out in squash it so it wouldn't continue to be an issue rye moving forward and he felt that biggie calling himself the king of New York should have gotten involved and helped him as opposed to just saying okay I don't want to have nothing to do with this at that point because that's supposed to be his friend mm-hmm he has to educate recipes progress and things big you know they got a series out now and so they got a couple characters playing them and I don't know if they get into the case for real of whatever yes yes I've interviewed so many people around this and I'm and I'm friends with people like Edie and I've interviewed all that know so much it's so interrelated and the stories and this and the debt and it's you know ultimately people are involving themselves in [ __ ] that they shouldn't be involving themselves in thanks you know this is why this is why I have I have gangster homies mmm-hmm you know I consider you my friend no doubt I'm afraid you might yeah no but but but I'm not going on a mission with you know you can't ride my car with a with a dirty gun you know right we're gonna have to re-evaluate our friendship after that yeah don't put me don't put me in that situation because I'm probably gonna tell you know me tell you that right now probably gonna tear it down no you [ __ ] with me it's real there you go you know that's who I am yeah you know I haven't done any real severe yeah you got every right to be like

kind of thing man you know I was going through your old catalogue and you actually have how many songs were to pop um we did one song together it was you snoop me snow Batpod badass think South Central and Superfly okay I believe it was a long time ago I was like 95 96 read five were you guys on the studio and you put that together no ok replaced little C style on there because little C style is snoop add some little conflict at that time and he was in the studio and he was playing a song and Bob was like let me get on that yeah I mean and you know okay he hopped on but we didn't perform together you know well we performed on the same stage together and hung out together nah that's okay were you ever in the studio with him when he was recording yes several times okay I had heard some some interesting things about his his process where I think I think it was qt3 that told me this that he felt that POC had this feeling that he knew he wasn't gonna be around very long and he needed to get out as much music as possible heavy yeah heavy I mean I can see it now you know I mean I can dock it I wouldn't have no dispute with it yet it like just you got a hurry like you know I mean like he would get mad at producers if they took too long well then again he probably had a wealth of material that he had accumulated why he was down you know he writes poetry you know you know he writes music writes letters so he probably had a stockpile of music and he finally had the producers that could supply him the sonic backdrop needed to express his self you feel I'm saying his anger you know his rage his awareness you know POC has so many different sides to him that he was always going every time you see him he was going Papa would never just like lay back chill you know why everything going on around him he was always moving give us some instructions you know planning for the next move just you know hiked up and all the time yeah I mean he was only 25 yeah when he passes yeah and he had movies platinum albums like books that came out at work ethic was remarkable if Pop was alive they'd pop would have been the hip hop's first billionaire 15 years ago I believe it the POC was alive he would have been hip hop's for his billionaire he would have beat out puffy and Jay you know yeah yeah yeah yeah I mean I'd actually heard I think Edie told me that he was actually supposed to be Will Smith's character and in Independence Day mm-hmm that they were they were considering him in fact I'd heard that he was actually had a lot of charisma man the guy had charisma you know just out his fingernails yeah you know he was actually the makaveli album he wanted to give it away as a free mixtape it should didn't let it happen so soon no one want to let that happen QT points over yours Christ alive yeah man I admired his work ethic though man he was a general you know in his world he was he was a general man you know common did an interview recently mhm and he talked about how during the whole East Coast West Coast war you know the way the way the media portrayed it remember he was beef with icecube common is army just a lover you know that went from the [ __ ] and you [ __ ] in you and then you know I mean I think like Ice Cube diss them yeah I mean well it was kind of like you this and here man Cyprus here left round at the same time Zack yeah he didn't have some beef still in here exactly and I guess Fat Joe had say I guess Mac tents people is gonna who's gonna [ __ ] up common at one point and if at Joe had to step in between all that now you were right in the middle of the whole East Coast West Coast thing mmm how bad did it really get was it was it really people from both coasts really hating each other was it really the media manipulating the situation it was maybe 15% amongst artists and fans and supporters and about 85 percent of media hype you know because we were still traveling all across the globe you know we started our tours if we didn't start out of the country we start on the East Coast and work our way back we did up in smoke tour in New York you know I mean we it was you know we didn't we didn't encounter them kind of situations we go out there and you know we run into certain cats that we dealt with out there and every time that's about the gang situation hi Crips and bloods is starting to proliferate out there and you know how they recruiting and things like that so you know it was it wasn't we didn't go out there and get tension and we had to ride around and armored vehicles with extra girls but you did get shot at so oh yeah the New York New York video yeah that happened but even after that you know I'm saying because I went to Jersey and you know I got on the radio and told him you know this this happens you know I'm from I'm from what a widt gangbang kicked off at you know I mean so I know that you gonna shoot at people you gonna get shot at this is a part of the lifestyle we live you can't oh this guy shot at me so we got a few for the rest of our lives oh you either knock him off if it's that serious or y'all figure out look man we gotta keep shooting at each other what's the deal you know saying weird is this okay so you're telling me that you had people shoot at you mm-hm and you've worked it out with a map yeah several people not several but it's been at least three people three or four people that I've had gunplay with that you know we passed that so someone shot at you mm-hmm and then what a third person came in and said let me try to broker this always we got at each other for the duration you know we missed each other a couple of times you know so he comes through now you're saying you should you guys were shooting at each other oh yeah and you shoot at him also he shoot at you no I got shot at before yeah and I got away and I came back in time and me and this guy had a warfare going on but I catch you I'm trying to get you when you when you see me you're trying to get me and then you know we finally saw each other at a time where I was around some of my homies and around some is homies and he tried to keep going and I told him to stop and we had a conversation rides a car like what's up man where we going with this you know I'm saying cuz you sneaking and creeping and going out of town and all this so you know every time we see each other we on that page what's happening man I you know I'm going to church now and you know I ain't been I I tripped out I was drunk and you know you know it had to do with you know me hurting his pride you know and something that I wasn't even aware of you know so when I got to the heart and I'm like man I cope you know and then I got into a situation with somebody else and he volunteered you know to get him from me you know I mean we had became cool like that so you know yeah you get past it man let's just just part of life yeah fighting like fistfights you know it's good good play it's like fistfights you know well we had a fight so every time I see you now you know I'm saying we're gonna get out yeah but you don't die from a fistfight you can you can but chances are you all you can get maimed yeah you can mamed yeah I mean yeah I don't I don't get into fistfights where you throw like four or five blows and it's like who's sunl what's up in you there huh I know somebody gonna go down somebody gonna get deer real greasy you know I mean and if you don't owe me you might not get feet put on you you know I mean but you know it's like that just a brutal lifestyle yeah I'd be cool if someone who shot at me I didn't say we was cool oh okay well you guys just decided yeah that it's over yeah yeah we but yeah we didn't get cool I mean we got high a couple of times after that just based on our the proximity of where we was kicking it at okay and it was like you know we're waiting on that [ __ ] no more but yeah I'm a slide out before you know it get too dark because you know I might get that urge or whatever but you know no you get past the [ __ ] man I feel so recently famous Dex mm-hmm got his chain stolen right and the chain kind of started to go on a world tour you know people various people started you know posted on Instagram I think it showed up in a music video everything else like that you ever had situations with your chains over the years never no one try to snatch chains your chain snatcher yeah I was not now yeah of course not he's nothing but yeah I was yeah can't snatch herringbones yeah me they don't you know they don't repair you know Gucci links all that you know you go to the club we have fun after the club over we see the squares you know snatch they chain knocking I'll keep you push it you know so I don't you know I don't know I don't be on I don't be on scenes like that where you know that kind of them kind of thirsty people be mingling not unless they my people you know I mean I remember there was a there was this 50 lira Corey said don't rob me you know I'm down to die for my chain he was just making something wrong yeah cuz [ __ ] pull out on you come on [ __ ] pull out on you you know I'm saying and you know they're gonna leave with it you breathin or not hey that's show choice grammar I'm ready to be filthy rich he told me about how someone pulled out a gun on him and you tried to take his chain I mean it was a dark night somebody whipped out a pistol I grabbed a gun we fall for it wanting to change pop I got away okay so I mean things happen in the heat of the moment yeah and and nobody wants to give up something that they worked hard to get hey anybody I invited to give it up right but in retrospect all the chains in the world aren't gonna help you when you're in a box no name you know I'm saying so in that particular situation if he got the drop on you yeah we wouldn't be having this conversation right now yeah and if they would have stole my change we wouldn't be having this interview either because you wouldn't want to be interviewing nobody that got right well rapper getting arrived for his change is like the worst thing ever to happen because that's cuz cuz all they gonna do is try to you know get some fame off of it or whatever and I understand you know that it ain't worth your life but it's just the element and where you come from how you handle things I mean at that time being I wasn't thinking just give up my change like that like I mean but I understand what you're saying but everybody think different my life a little bit better than that thank God man yeah yes yeah he is not there's not that significant you know let me see it's a we remember someone pulled out a gun on me once when I was living in the bay no just walking with a friend of mine they pulled out a gun Ashley didn't end up even being a gun cuz they ended up finding the guy like right afterwards he was like a knife that had a gun handle it was sort of weird wow he kind of pulled it out on me and there is sort of a natural you know like nobody wants to just give up their [ __ ] you know and I remembered it was sort of a weird situation we had I'm just kind of just walking off so I didn't have to actually give him any of my [ __ ] but there is a natural tendency once someone does that to say well [ __ ] you I'm keeping it you know depends on how you get caught yeah if you stepping out your car and two guys just materialize with pistols and you note it you know it's nowhere to go right no your car's off you know I mean so so five out of five pulled a gun on you right now I said give me that Eastside of chained I'll be like land quick boys bunch of guys storm in here put guns to your head and say give me that chain they wouldn't even have to put them to my head a bunch of guys storming here with guns and they asked for the change [ __ ] yeah if you know people that died cuz they want to give up their [ __ ] in robberies but not just for jewelry per se you know I mean I don't you know I mean if you got jury then you know if you don't got it insured or you don't got the means to replace it then you should kind of like watch where you wear that or you know have people around you that can help protect you you know because you got wolves everywhere absolutely yeah yeah people hungry out here damn right Suge mm-hmm his fiancee got three years yeah I read about that violating probation probation because I guess what had happened was the the Tam's parking lot videotape mm-hmm was part of the case obviously she ended up selling it - I guess TMZ for like 50,000 so they you know they they trace the money mm-hmm found out she did it she was given probation right you know for doing that then she turned around and I guess set up some sort of business deal for show to get interviewed in jail or something something something like that I think might have been for the beat yeah something like yeah yeah got caught doing that once again is now in jail for three years oh they make a new door for probation real she's she's doing three years in jail one girl's gonna be happy to see her in there I hold even know she is but I already know just being connected to him your arms and she gonna you know she's a celebrity already walking up in there you know she gonna have to be down for whatever she damn right you know because from what I understand I didn't know Terry mm-hmm but he he was very well loved oh man most definitely man you know I'm saying he was he was he was a he was a he was a very impressionable person you know he had a big personality didn't he have a bunch of adopted kids as well yeah he did yeah yeah kids that he put to school adopted kids he put through school sent to college you know he was and he was a very uh he was a very exceptional father and a father figure how many kids that he did he have between us I think it was like you think it was like 13 sorry yeah between actually I think he took his sister's kids or something like that when something that happened with her and he he raised all his sister's kids as he is and you know not as he is but you know you're my nieces and nephews but I'm gonna treat y'all like your father yeah you know he's he staying on his job as a surprise so you're saying that his fiancée is gonna be a target based on oh yeah that yeah that's just our name who here oh you know you know it's just like when anybody like when I'm a male coming there oh you know the god had killed info people on whoa they gonna be like oh yeah yeah okay let me see what he were you know I mean you know I remember I interviewed a little easy and we talked about how how Suge went on Arsenio and he made the joke about the you know injecting easy with AIDS I miss that oh you didn't see you don't tell no I missed that it's real simple you know man I love your show language you doing drinking right that's thang on you fresh out of jail come check you out right right one of them flew this oh it's not oh no that's just it's because you talk to your horse to learn this is new thing right yeah see if somebody gonna do somebody see technology is so high right right so if you shoot somebody you go to jail forever so the kids y'all go to jail forever right so they got this new thing out that people sell them all the time they got the stuff to call they get blood from somebody with AIDS yeah shoot you with it oh well shoulds terror alert level just [Applause] that wasn't saying he injected easy with a well no well but he was he joked about it well well he know his joke was that you instead of killing somebody you can just go get a needle and get somebody infected blood and in fact the next person with AIDS right and they'll have that eazy-e thing he was calling aids the eazy-e thing he was but he was also kind of implying that he had something that you know that you would have to read and reach for that he's eating the slow death eight easy got the slow death AIDS so if you shoot somebody when in fact the needle they'll have the easy thing which is the slow death which is AIDS well I know when that came out I think little easy said that high school days I was young and dumb so a couple his family Merce got the raft so I just put it that way jigs family members got the wrath of how I felt at that time his nephew everybody else he knew that yeah when your school oh you were in high school with yeah with the high school so was there altercation that oh yeah broke a lot of noses and knuckle faces and Knuckles and all that did a lot a lot of a lot of that did a lot of you know nothing criminate there's a lot of ignorant stuff when I was a young kid I was I thought dumb at that time so what a dumb kid you could throw anything in the air sensitive is feeling like your father being gone because that's the only reason why I'm in the streets and as ignorant as I am at that total any time in my life because I was angry at the world you know I probably would have took umbrage to him joking actually yeah I mean he's basically joking about easy yeah yeah whether whether you're implying yeah yeah I made light of his situation definitely that you know I mean but I don't think he implied that he had hit easy with it needle you know I'm saying everybody kind of knew easy lifestyle you know I'm saying easy didn't use colony in hose yeah me exactly so now shug's Shooks fiancée is gonna have to be in a jail cell full of oh she biking she might can do protective custody our God is almost self you know I'm saying waves they using high power you know I'm saying I don't think it's protective custody but he's in high-power where you don't have access to other you know inmates you get your phone time on the tier by yourself and all that kind of stuff well his lawyers was actually charged with bribing witnesses both of both of them yeah I mean I I've know Fletcher to that's nuts Oh way you know the lawyer yeah no yeah I know Matthew Fletcher Matthew Fletcher yeah Matthew French have been around since deaf roving around y'all know daddy is colpepper I don't know that guy okay no yeah you're right here we go yeah attorneys Matthew Fletcher and Thaddeus Culpepper yeah arraigned on criminal conspiracy charges including counsel of witness tampering and obstruction of justice right right yeah yeah Matthew gets a job I didn't know sorry I guess you know they told sug after telling night that he need between twenty twenty five thousand a freedom Fletcher went out and connected with an informant was reportedly offering cash if you agree to help night out on the stand it was actually it was actually another informant that I told sure when he was leaving like you know anything you need blood I got you I'll add me yeah I mean and you know he was informant they was on the bus together and he past that message the shoot it should trusted him and you know he he was out there passing information directly to the police that was coming straight from sure about witness tampering and you know saying somebody had a gun or they'd seen a gun two people had goods and they saw him and it's all in the papers and everywhere maybe right right because I guess the I guess shug's case really kind of revolves around bone having a gun or not or somebody they're having a gun where he felt threatened yeah enough to flee and not have regard for the people that was around his vehicle right because in the video you see someone handing you know after bone gets run over you see him handing something to somebody no okay yeah yeah my work in his favor and they you know they're saying it's a walkie talkie whereas you know shug's you know walking for good I mean this big and bulky and black yeah I mean the question is you know if you just got run over by a car why would you hand someone a walkie-talkie fax fax you know yeah but it seems like this there's you know because she was supposed to have his truck at the top of the year I didn't right now his lawyer name with dad with the situation with his lawyers he probably got to get new counsel now cuz right I'm you know they they got released on their own recognizance they tried to give them a half-million dollar bail to peace but they got released on their own recognizance no so you know they probably got some complications with defending the case for them right now I won't think that they're facing 44 months in prison for this [ __ ] yeah 44 months I mean that's almost four years and this bore me and just bars point I mean that's the worst part you dealing with you don't know what you know what's coming where you dealing with say you know remind me of a movie I saw of the great movie Carlito's Way when the big guy was telling the lawyer when he was telling us the guy with the curly hair shine paying when he was telling shine pain you're gonna get me out of here right that's what you're gonna do you know I sound scared what you got to do you'll hook over my son you have a boat out there you got you dealing with sure you don't just criminal boss you know he you you got to deal with what come with the territory so 44 months they they doing pretty good at least they're you know a nice ain't arrested they like this I gotta find something to practice other than law when they get out because it's probably gonna be hard to get them licenses back no can you get your license back after you get this bar no I don't think so you probably can't cuz I think they would say disbarred for life or something probably if it was witness tampering as a lawyer witness tampering you think they don't give you a license back witness tampering I mean you know forgetting to file something you know going to a witness and saying I'm gonna give you 25,000 if you say you saw me cuz gonna help my client you a third party I mean really like was so cruel oh really is that somebody lost a life in this situation yeah and that Sugar's on the verge of losing his life to this situation everything else is expected going to circus but that's the sad part about it and I don't want to seem like I'm making light of you know I'm saying the situation when you know me and Terry Carter had such a personal relationship and you know I know it's family and everything you know I'm saying I wish them the best you know I'm saying much love you know I'm saying to the whole family so you know it's a cold thing man I've interviewed the the DLC before who him a shock I mean he's the one who brush it around right it you know to Dre and all that and he's always said that show was a deviant show was a big kid he's a deviant yeah I mean like mister tell stories about pissing on for balls players legs in the shower and thought there was just a funny [ __ ] in the world no he was just yeah David he just liked to do crazy [ __ ] and thought it was funny I mean you know do you just show me damn on Jimmy Kimmel you know he he have to have kicked his Gators up on the table you know I'm saying got his jacket bust open it you know callously talking about people's you know death bear conditions and you know things of that nature it's like you know and then talk about oh yeah you know we beat the boy up and you know he drunk about 20 shots of piss you know you know he got this he got this being shown on the documentary doing a crucial time his life where he's about to go to trial and fight for his life and he actually authorized people to display this kind of you know okay footage I didn't get that part I don't get that okay so III didn't watch the this death row crime yeah I was I was over my boy Lois B house okay so so sugar she was interviewed for this yeah he was no they got him over the phone and they have him you know they have different times where he's spoke on on things this it's put together like that you know they got corrupt speaking on there and yeah you know other cats you know I've heard about this this piss drinking thing I don't want to see nobody drink piss I don't care if it's one shot 20 shots I have no interest so what do you nobody what did she say about that he they asked him was this someone that they had made a claim against him that had actually was assaulted and he replied that oh yeah you know he probably got his body touched on a little bit you know few body blows or whatever probably drunk about 20 shots of piss you know it's not a jail thing not where I feel yeah nah well I I'd heard you know that this was like one of these Jail intimidation no you know not where I been you're saying just to show that's a deviancy like you called it doesn't be a deviant you know wanting to see somebody I mean I don't want to see nobody pissing in the glass to hand nobody to piss to drink right so we're not even gonna get to him drinking it you know what I'm saying so I don't I don't even entertain that's that's kind of like far-fetched and in just disciplining somebody or intimidating them well being a death-row what do you think is the most deviant thing you saw a show do I always think you should have a fun you know it's his world live for the party you know I homie i'ma buy you a lowrider next week and you know we're going to do this and we finna go do that right now and he got you know 100 people out eating with him at did find the steak house in the city and you know he's smoking cigars and got his homies there you know for security and they feeling that you know the good vibes of higher society and things like that so I always saw him laughing and you know kind of like enjoying himself I never I never see any money you know bad page of course I wasn't a death-row artist so I was never you know subject attendee and I was meetings or you know had to deal with him on the level where it was you know one-on-one he just hid on the feature how much he won't and he's trying to check you know I'd actually interviewed snoop about how he squashed his beef was shook cuz at one point they were they were going at it they was yeah they was were you were you snooping he left a throw and went to miss no bars been cold from the first time we saw each other except the time that we had our little personal conflict right even then you know we squashed that water under the bridge can't move and so it's really never a time when I've been out here in the streets and then the music business where we haven't been cool what what was snoops real issue was sug because from what I understand Master P worked out a deal with Suge for snoop to go to No Limit that's what I heard this was not like a strong-armed thing or whatever else they worked it out as businessmen as new plea gali recorded on No Limit right so from your point of view what was the issue between these two men I think it was the royalty situation I think it was probably give me the direction that the label was going in [Music] you know I I don't think snow probably felt like he belonged anymore after you know I have to pop got killed and you know he didn't want to carry all that weight on him you know death row and everything I was attached to it you know I think it was a combination of different things that led to him being dissatisfied with being a death row artists and you know instead of just killing his you know killing this popularity of status and momentum he talked the master fee and figured you know you like him he liked you y'all cool you know you want to go out there and do what you do with him you know it's good break me off this and it was a business deal ok but but they were not friendly after that what I'm saying it's like afterwards they kept kind of going at it with each other oh yeah it wasn't it wasn't an amicable separation by no stretch of the imagination you know people was putting threats out on people and talking about you know oh yeah you you know your wife called me and told me not to do not until you you know and things like that it was getting real personal diss songs pimp slapped and yeah you know all that was going on so it was shots being consistently fired but I think that was just that was just the transit of when she was in jail that snoop was finally able to voice hi he really felt without you know the president's looming over him because it was a still a gangster situation you know I mean so when snoop got to talking [ __ ] I think he just you know took advantage of that situation and you know blast back like that but I don't think it was never to the point where they were if I see you I'm gonna do this to you because it was it was always a business arrangement snoop fighting Suge that would never happen to be all the people that was around him that I was fighting each other so that's why I think that really didn't blossom too far yeah I mean he said the way they finally worked it out was a lot of times man you know we have tendencies of a female because we don't know how to handle our business like like men it's just a minor conversation and we were men enough to have that conversation behind closed doors with just meeting him no cameras nobody goes no media and it was a love conversation because he loves me like I love him I love everything he done for me as far as my music career for believing in me and give me a voice and you know just being there for me just like he loved everything I did for him building death row building his brand so we had conversations about what it was and what it could be and what it looks like when we add each other or when we cool with each other so we made the business decision to be cool with each other cuz I don't hate him he don't hate me sure there's an interesting one man yeah he's an interesting one yeah he's he's a very dominant figure yeah I mean because you know I've said this in other interviews if Shirley just sort of adapted to his new situation he could have been a billionaire right there with Dre I saw the paperwork when the company was worth 287 million dollars and she was in jail my manager used to work that death roll candy brown okay I went to pick up some money up you know I was waiting for her to come back and she asked some paperwork on her desk I saw the network at that time I was like yeah David o'clock 287 million well I think one of one of uh you know one of snoops issues was that well number one like for example like all his cars and everything weren't even in his name he said at one point he got pulled over and they're like you know could we see her your license mr. Knight and he's like now this is my car and they're like no no it's not this is this is Shooks car yeah you know I'm saying and like even though sugar was getting I'm sorry a snoop was getting paid he was getting kind of like a salary but not really a piece of his real royalties and you know I mean like like he was getting paid but not the millions that he was generating oh I'm very familiar with that really yeah so you weren't getting paid either nope just getting paid by show or by project but you know when you make some noise okay here go check for 40,000 or something like that you know you know it's just like okay we working on that we're getting that together then you find out your contract and really what you thought it was and it becomes a whole nother situation but you were never a death-row artist no I'm talking about that doggy style a doggy style yeah dog house records okay they never got worked out either not to this point what ultimately cuz cuz you you a stoop had that situation mm-hmm and you know I'm just gonna preface that with snoops on your new album right right you I saw you on the album before there's now before that yeah yeah he actually shouted he actually posted your album on Instagram I think maybe even today or yesterday or something yeah we stay in touch yeah but you guys actually had a situation mm-hmm we have a situation but it's a situation that we taken time to resolve as we do it was a money situation yeah over royalties which never fully got worked out yet no okay but it was other parties involved in that whole thing that allowed it to transpire okay you know so I can't put a hundred percent of the blame on him I have to take at least 50% of the blame for signing the contract myself okay so you signed a contract that wasn't really beneficial to you no and the lawyers day at Peter Lopez rest in peace and you know a couple of principals who was involved in that they doing things other than music now so you know it's it's old stuff man I'm I'm at the new money it's a whole new way for me man you know I don't look back at the past too much but but with that situation there was a shooting I guess mmm-hmm so you shot at was it at snooper or it was at his studio okay so you were it was shooting that took place at his studio and diamond boy can you talk about what happened I will at some point okay yeah me but that's my friend no you know I mean so I don't want to say nothing that will put him in a bad light and I don't want to say nothing that would seem like I'm glorifying the situation you know I'm saying we was all in a pretty bad place at the time and things was going on that we didn't understand you know and we figured that the friendship and the love that we share among each other was worth more than going back and adding up every zero and all that and we just continuing to move forward that's real yeah but because that situation you went back to jail no oh no really no okay so that was something else yeah that was some milk ah ha ha I always assumed that again a lot of people did and they'll be telling I was telling somebody that the other day I would get people that were ask me like I hold me hold me to be all in your business you have seen but uh I hoped although you know you could be like man I'm not even in here no and did tell oh okay so you know I would have to straighten that out from the jump yeah I'm saying he just did yeah yeah yeah cuz I always wonder I mean I didn't think the snoop told on you or whatever I assume there's rested me for the shooting and I went yeah if there's a shooting that I heard about yeah it probably went to jail for no you know said I was involved in multiple shootings okay yeah so that had nothing to do with it nothing at all and they questioned snoop and he said I don't know nothing when they did come and question him about the situation yeah he didn't mean to mention my name at all that's real right there yeah yeah we good well that's that that's something to have someone shoot at you and then oh but his one of his security shot at me initially ah okay you know me okay and you know I responded in kind okay you know but nothing happened to you over that not at all or to the security though and then and there goes another situation where you could have gonna play with somebody because he steal one snoop security the arms and he I still see them and the thing about it is he's my homeboy from my neighborhood ha but you know I'm saying he's snoop skin you know I mean so I can understand blood thickening you know anything else so we resolved the whole situation just as as me and understanding that you know it was a it was a circumstance that just flared and and nobody was willing to back down at that moment so then you and Steve got got together afterwards y'all had a heart-to-heart conversation about it and actually I called him on the phone five years later uh-huh also five years passed before you guys worked it out at the time he was later yeah how did that conversation go he was shopping somewhere in Hollywood and I'll called homegirl tarsus used to braid our hair she still braid his hair or she still do was here he got the locks now but uh she was like I'm right here with snow right now yes you got a funny way of talking we always make fun and I'm like that right see like yeah I'm finna put him on the phone and adding the Foley sir you know I was so you know I mean we just had our conversation and you know by like couple minutes into the conversation it was like you know that I was water under the bridge you know he understood what it was he thought it was a little more to it than it was which it was but you know we good we healed we healed well I can tell you I mean I've been around a lot of artists over the years being a small major minor and the one thing that's always kind of impressed me about Snoop is that at the status that he is the level of humbleness and professionalism that goes along with what he does like I've literally saw him sit there for an hour and a half and take pictures with fans right you know I mean right no complaining no yeah no tell security you know I mean I know I'm not gonna put any names but I know artists that like you can't even get close to him like you know I'm saying like it's good no no pictures yeah no he don't talk to you yeah I've no like you know I'm saying and I know you know and I've done interviews with snoop before and professional answers every question like you know I know people I don't want to talk about that no no you know like real difficult interviews like this down the third like pulling teeth yeah and and uh you know like I think snooping where he is you know I mean number one is you know he's the talent level and the uniqueness of his voice and his presentation but you know you see lots of naturally talented people that you don't hear from you know they're on you know milk box covers right now like you know her over there whereas with Snoop the fact that he's still in such high demand I think is because he took his his profession seriously as you were saying had sure good there you go transitioned into the life of a mogul which he was and left so much industry stuff behind you know it's no man times that honest to the streets as well because you know people always coming out the woodwork from the city you know snoop ain't is he ain't doing this he ain't did this and he can't come around here no morning you know you'll see a video snoop in the hood doing something he'll actually address yeah yeah yeah so it's funny you know I'm saying just bring the King out to Castle you die yeah yeah he'll address it ant and I've always liked that you see him doing doing songs with little you know with up-and-coming young dudes right out of LA that I know for a fact aren't paying for those features you know they pay in in some ways in other ways or sometimes it's just you think they're dope enough yet you want to give them an opportunity to bless them with your celebrity and give them a boost up yeah well regardless of what they pay you know I doubt that they could pay what snoop is really worth for a real snoot feature fact you know what I'm saying definite factor you know so they don't pay I got you and that's what I'm saying no no that's what I'm saying in that regard that's that's true yeah exactly because you know if a major label ask for this new feature I'm sure that it's six yeah maybe six figures in yeah exactly that's what I'm saying and you know listen man you got it you got ahead of me he got a show with Martha Stewart like that personality you know you the Judah the guy that did [ __ ] ain't [ __ ] cooking show with Martha she got the right where I'm going for it you got a new project out yeah did you chose list the General's list jim's list - yes this is sonically amazing man you know shout out to my boy Rob T for the mix and job and the master and job he did on it you know you know got my crew on there the supreme soccer team my wife cognac the eggs so okay in DW flames we interviewed last time yeah yeah I got like 50,000 views down was great and I appreciate that too I appreciate that and he you know you couldn't tell anyone the store after he said I wouldn't CBS in a girl starts shaking she's like one thing about Vlad TV man is that we got the streets no down we you know and this is this is this is not me saying this this is people mm-hmm everyone we interview will constantly tell me that no matter how many times they've been on TV or whatever else wants to do a bad interview people just stop him on the streets all the time you know the guy I'm getting some stuff out the grocery store the other day and the guy dragged his daughter down the aisle it's like 14 15 years old I got a handful I didn't get no basket so I'm thinking I'm getting a couple items I got seven eight items in my hand and you know oh my daughter wanted to snap chat with you I said bro y'all have a good day man thank you you know you guys got to be polite about it but people will just approach you to foot you know pitches and this that I see you if y'all learned it's about oh yeah that was some real stuff you said in your family members and you know close friends so you know it's good to have an audience like that yeah we tried so the new albums out yeah yeah and like I say God you you said he got Snoop Dogg on their ot Genesis dub C crooked I Detroit Williams you know there's God you know I got a plexi bow you know PBG Perico yeah you got it got hitters on there man a few more master criminal you know I brought my aunt's a PI now to do its thing right who's on the next movie the black and brown thing yeah smart guy a real solid dude you know you're not I just put together an album and concentrated on making each track fit the feature that I wanted you know because some a lot of guys didn't get to participate on the first generals there's a lot of them wasn't out when I did the first generals list back in 2002 and that kind of became I could hurt classic you know I was like a must have like you ain't got the General's list yo your West Coast collection ain't right right so I thought I bring another one back because demand for you know I always get questioned like you're gonna do another one you're gonna do another one so man that's probably like one of the best albums including East Siders and you know features I did with snoop and other people you know I I can't remember half the features I did and I've been in the game for a minute because Goldy look is on it I'll Goldilocks no that's my peanuts mob that's the other eastsiders so you know I'm gonna bring him I'm gonna bring him up in there but I've got a few people I haven't named to fine name you your name is on the album cover so don't feel no kind of way pac-man - good man GI Joe you know write it go any plans for anymore East Siders songs or projects or anything me and Goldie was waiting to the distance between us it was like it's a freeway that gets black ice on him when the weather is inclement so we just decided to wait - the weather was good again and you know five to five the studio again you know get a people what they want they've been asking for it you know I mean he's a he's like a cannabis entrepreneur now okay you know he's doing this thing you know you know he got at me this time you know I got at him three or four times when I got out you know I asked him did he want to do it and it would always be something that would interfere with the process but I think he really ready now so he but he say got a couple files of beats that he made personally for the project so we got three or four songs put together already from the last time we got together so well because because I feel that that that first East Siders album I felt was like kinda like snoops comeback album I felt like you know I mean cuz obviously the the death row [ __ ] was was dope and you know and I felt like he was kind of trying to find his way for a few years you know I mean and so forth and then when that dropped it was like oh okay this is like he back oh yeah yeah you're back like this is that aggressive gangster music that we've been waiting for you know nothing that you you were gold he kind of brought that brought that out of him yeah yeah we we've been accredited with that you know being there for him and you know giving him my anchor really like to come back and establish itself when he was coming back from no lemon he gave me a call and told me you know clear the streets for me general you know I'm saying I'm on my way back you know we set it up he brought Goldy back with him because God he was on his uh when his albums before I think it was the last meal album yeah and uh that album was that I was dumped to his last no limit I helped him was dope the last meal and the ones in between it you know it has some good songs on there you know I liked it a few of them I was on his first album he did with a master fee right you know you know when he came back it was like man let's set it off man you know we got it we got to set it off for the city you know we had a lot of oh geez who was fresh out and you know we was doing the unity thing in the city trying to like stop the violence between their signs and the 20s
