[00:00:00]Um, so all right, like hit me with some memories of that sort of time period.

[00:00:05]Like what are we talking about? Like the the 2010, 2015ish era as far as LA cuz I mean in retrospect, I think a lot of people look at those as some of like the real glory days of LA before co, but like the internet's popping. So you can get you could get lit on the internet without having to go through a label or whatever. So there's a lot of like interesting [ __ ] happening hip-hop wise and everything whereas like now it feels like I don't know it's just like a different energy [ __ ] >> and you were really years early. My [ __ ] was lit. My homies had paint. We was in >> Cover City. We was in Marina del Rey.

[00:00:43]>> Mhm.

[00:00:44]>> Homies was in Ranges. Oh the homies really up my life because they made me feel like this [ __ ] was normal.

[00:00:52]>> And then I was always the youngest out the group. So everybody had bread. So growing up it was just always normal.

[00:00:59]>> Like I had my little I would have like a little rack, little 500, but they would have like 15 racks, 20 racks. They got four or $5,000 condos. And this is you got to think like 15 years ago when rent was was still kind of affordable in LA.

[00:01:14]>> Yeah.

[00:01:14]>> Going to the bridge, going to Melrose, Fairfax, seeing all future and all them. That [ __ ] used to be normal. Uh [ __ ] I I don't know. Like my upbringing was was was kind of different cuz I had [ __ ] my way for for so long it just got normal. So like even when I turned 18, I had a my first apartment was at the Orsini. M.

[00:01:37]>> So, >> I mean, and and you're doing all these things that realistically are the kind of things that could land you in the feds for mad years, but do you feel like the dudes that you were around just made everything seem so chill and casual that you weren't really thinking about the risk?

[00:01:53]>> It's normal.

[00:01:54]>> Yeah.

[00:01:54]>> When you grow up and everybody got paid and you It's just normal.

[00:01:57]>> Just start getting comfortable and just chilling.

[00:02:00]>> You're just normal. You going to roof Chris every other night. All that like >> your mind ain't thinking about the worst. This the this the lowest I've been since I've been like 15 16 >> like >> having to budget [ __ ] out >> having to not be able to grab everything I want to get like >> but you know this all part of the game all part part of you know starting over coming up I don't regret nothing everything was fun >> but there's got to be like part of you that's like okay I'm just happy living a nice chill life because it's a lot better than being in the feds >> definitely 100% I'm glad I'm Glad I be at the spot. Glad everything.

[00:02:37]Just sleep with my girl, cooking at the house, doing [ __ ] like this, being with my friends. That's that's all the stuff that makes you appreciate all the little things is when you in that bunk and you just laying down and you just like, [ __ ] having to get [ __ ] on commissary and missing things and taking a walk and going to the beach and all the stuff that you don't realize you take for granted. You just you got all the time in the world to just lay there and think.

[00:03:08]>> Definitely.

[00:03:08]>> So, yeah, I did. Now, I appreciate everything, but back then growing up, I didn't I didn't give a [ __ ] >> But is it tough because you know that like you could make some calls and just be fully back in the game if you wanted to take the chance? I just don't never I just don't want to this up because if I know if I it up it's gonna be double the trouble.

[00:03:28]>> That [ __ ] know how that jail was.

[00:03:31]>> I got to go federal and state. So it's not like >> I can just you know something happens and I just might do 30 days type [ __ ] I might I'm I'm going be gone for again.

[00:04:14]>> Well, it sounds scary, too, right? Like people stabbing each other and [ __ ] I mean, if >> it could get treacherous like that, >> but >> it depend on the situation.

[00:04:23]>> In my opinion, as long as you're a man and and you respect everybody and you demand your respect back, you're going to be good. But really, it's just boring. Like, you got to find stuff to occupy your time.

[00:04:33]>> You got to get that routine, read books, watch movies on the tablet, work out. I used to like to cook a lot.

[00:04:41]>> So I always buying [ __ ] from the kitchen, all the veggies, all the cheese, >> and I would just take take my time.

[00:05:04]>> USPS is janky. You got to walk around >> the So when the feds is USP is like a max. That's United States Penitentiary.

[00:05:11]Then they got medium security, low security, and then camp is like B man Kevo. Like all the people were like you could you there's no fence at camps. So you could really run to a hotel. You could have your girl meet you on the little back street, go do that. Boom.

[00:05:28]Yeah. So camps are sweet, but I couldn't I couldn't make it to a camp because I had warrants and holds and [ __ ] But yeah, my [ __ ] was nonviolent. I never I didn't have no prior criminal history, so I didn't have hella points or [ __ ] like that.

[00:05:42]>> Yeah. Like my dad was in the feds for a year when I was 12 and it like when I first showed up and it was like a camp and I I showed up and it was like there's no fence. You >> the east coast.

[00:05:52]>> Yeah. You can just walk up out of there and uh I was just astounded by the fact that like when I showed up my dad's like working out like right there like he could have jogged the out of there and gone to McDonald's or some [ __ ] which I have heard people talk about like doing crazy missions where they get up >> like level one yards in a pen and [ __ ] >> Yeah. Like the camps is is sweet time like people getting >> people having [ __ ] their way at the camp. Like the camp is easy time but the low it had a fence. We had phones and [ __ ] too though.

[00:07:51]>> Oh, okay.

[00:07:52]>> But I mean, no, I don't be worried about that [ __ ] >> But I've known some people over the years who are in the halfway house who are like real, you know, gangster ass rapper type dudes who are like famous and they got beef and they're in the halfway house. And I'm talking to them and realizing like they don't want anyone to know that they're there because they got like no way to protect themselves.
