3:41

hope it's in focus. So, so this is just another another thing to go in in my Nipy section. And uh my my my favorite

3:49

rapper um I was going to get one of these cards. If you guys are not from LA or from California, you don't know our

3:55

um our transportation is called MTA, right? And they did this anniversary tab

4:01

card for Nipy's birthday. He was a pillar of the community in my opinion. Nipy Hustle is LA. He's the

4:08

personification of Los Angeles, right? Crunch Lawson. No. Yep. Yeah. That

4:13

So, I was going to get one of these cards, but I am a slave to the system. I was at work and I was too [ __ ] to take

4:20

off and somehow my brother got the card. So, man, how did you get the card? All

4:26

right. So, this a little bit of a story. All right. Bet. So, um it was I got the cards on a

4:34

Friday. It was Nipy Day, which is his birthday, uh August 15th. And so that

4:40

day, uh, like I said, it's a Friday, so I'm already up at like 5:00 in the morning on Fridays anyway, like you

4:45

know, going to the gym. So what I decided to do is I'm going to wake up. I'm going to hit the train station. I'm going to go to the High Park station

4:51

specifically because the High Park train station is the one that they renamed after Nipy for the day. Like actually

4:58

actually for all of August. Like so from August 15th until the end of until the end of August, they renamed it the Nipy

5:04

Hustle Station. That that's fire. I didn't know that. Yeah, that's hard. like they had pictures of him up and and everything. Like literally like his name was was was

5:10

was uh was everywhere. So, uh I get there, it's like 5:45 in the morning.

5:16

It's like three people in line. I'm like, "All right, bet. I'm going to grab me a card." Like, they already got to be in the machine, you feel me? Like people

5:22

going to work in the morning, people going to school, all that. So, I'm going to grab me, you know, a tap card. I'm going to go to the gym and go to work.

5:28

It's not how it went. So, I get there. It's the three people in line. It's a MTA dude working there. and he like,

5:34

"Yo, the car is gonna be in the machine around like like 8 am, 9:00 am." Okay. So, I'm like, "All right." I'm like, "I

5:41

ain't trying to wait all that time." So, I'm like, "All right, [ __ ] it." So, I just go, I leave, I pull out, I go to the gym, I get me a little workout in,

5:47

but like while I'm at the gym is bothering me, though. I'm like, man, like I want this card. Like, cuz uh like

5:53

Nipy, Nipy was, like you said, important for the whole LA County, the whole

5:58

California for real. You feel me? The West Coast. like you know like he was really he was really special to us. Like

6:04

I really feel like I don't know like OD dramatic [ __ ] but I really feel like Nipy like helped like

6:10

change my life and I say that because uh he was always saying like [ __ ] the middleman. Like that's something I stand

6:16

by wholeheartedly is [ __ ] the middleman. You feel me? So I I was hearing him say that all the

6:21

time and I was he was he was getting me to kind of rethink my goals and like how

6:27

to get to them. So at the time um like all right I want my own clothing line.

6:32

So I'm like okay who is the biggest middleman in between me and my clothes like and getting them made. So I'm like

6:39

the graphic designer you feel me? Or whoever at the time I'm just like whoever is was making the shirts. I do

6:44

some research. I figure I found out what you know what graphic design is. I'm in my early 20s at the time. So I'm like

6:50

okay I would need a graphic designer. So instead of me going to find one I said [ __ ] the middleman. I became the graphic

6:56

designer. So I went back to school and reason why I say he changed my life because that mentality is what got me to go back to school. So it's not like Nip

7:03

was like go to school, go to school, go to school. He was just like [ __ ] the middleman. Made me think about what the middleman is in my life stopping me from

7:09

my goals and I became that middleman. So I went back to school. I got me a degree in graphic design and I'm here now.

7:16

Going back to school, I don't [ __ ] with school but that was my that was one of the best decisions I made in my adult

7:22

life. Like just to keep it real, you feel me? everything going back there like everything kind of set me off on

7:27

the catalyst for like who I am today and where I am and having my brand and like I said being able to make my own logo,

7:32

do my own designs and all that. So I really like like I said I thank NIP for like restructuring way I was thinking

7:39

about my goals and everything. So So that that that's fire. That's actually

7:44

um really inspirational cuz I I tell people on this podcast, we came to inspirate and motivate and um I I

7:49

express to people all the time that everybody is a hustler so to speak. Like

7:56

I don't have that hustler spirit. I'm not a street dude. Never have been, never will be. But

8:01

Nipy was talking about the marathon. Him, me, your mama, everybody else. We

8:06

all on a marathon from the moment you wake up to the moment you die. Some people is on a

8:11

marathon. They just running on the treadmill. They not getting nowhere. They deaf, dumb, and blind. But

8:17

NIP inspired my man to go back to school. That's saying that that that you

8:23

got that hustle in you cuz all hustling ain't illegal. Like [ __ ] want to glorify [ __ ] All hustling ain't

8:28

illegal. Like him getting that degree, he's a hustler. Fact. I appreciate that cuz it don't it

8:34

don't always feel like that. You feel me? Like growing up, you feel me? Where we from, you feel me? I'm from Compton. Like and growing up, you know, [ __ ] who

8:41

do a four-year bid, come home, we love everybody. You go to school 4 years, don't nobody care. So, you feel me? I

8:46

appreciate that. Like, yeah, the hub and the dub, man. Right. Facts. All right. So, uh, so like

8:51

I said, I get to the the High Park station, but you know, Nipy Hustle Station at the time. And, uh, I'm like,

8:57

"All right, go." Actually, my bad. Actually, I already said that. So, I I go to the gym. I'm at the gym. I'm

9:03

getting it in, but like I said, it's nagging me at all cuz I'm like, "Man, I want this card. I want to add it to my collection. and I like to collect

9:08

things. So, I uh finish my workout. I go back to the uh to the hustle station.

9:14

And now this time, like if you familiar with the High Park station, it's like a long ass platform. And so, now, mind

9:19

you, when I first get there, there only three people in line like on like the right side of the station. Now, the the

9:24

left side of the station got a long line. Right side of the station got a long line like at the edge of the platform. And then now it's a new line

9:29

across the street over here at this uh gas station. Yeah. So, now I'm over here at the gas station. I'm standing in the line with a

9:35

couple dudes. We chomping it up. like I got this article pulled up on my phone uh about the tap cars cuz that's how I found out they was doing the limited

9:41

edition tap cars. So it's like uh this article from like LA Times or some [ __ ] and um so you know going through it. We

9:48

chopping it up. We talking about how many cards it's going to be. I'm like all right this article say it's going to be like 12,000 uh cards. It's six

9:54

different stations they doing it at. So I'm like all right it's got to at least be like 2,000 tap cards per station. You

9:59

feel me? That that sound like enough maybe on me. Right. If y'all putting 12,000 out you feel me? two per station and you

10:04

know well see I'm not your competition cuz I'm at work so you can get plenty of cards fact. So, all right. So, yeah. So, I'm

10:12

standing in line chopping up with these two dudes, you feel? A couple other people in line. We just talking about stuff and uh one dude, black, one dude,

10:18

Mexican. So, the Mexican dude, he like, "I'm about to uh he like, "Hey, can I hold my spot? Like, I'm I'm thirsty." Like, so he hop out of line, go grab him

10:23

something from the gas station, come back, you know, we chopping it up, you know, kumbaya. So, as we sitting there

10:29

talking, a dude who worked for Metro, he walked by and he say something like, and I don't hear what he say. So, I asked

10:34

dude, I'm like, "Well, you know, what he say?" and he was like, "Oh, he said that uh the line is shorter over at uh Expo

10:41

and Crash Station because like that's just right down the street and that's another station where they got the tap cars at."

10:46

So I'm like, and then the [ __ ] that I'm in line with, he like he he [ __ ] with him. He like, "Nigga, you lying." Like

10:52

you just saying that cuz you already got one cuz like all the Metro dudes that was there like they had like a tap car either like on like they chest like in

10:59

the vest that they was wearing or hanging around their neck from a lanyard. Okay. So he did literally already have one. So

11:04

the dude was [ __ ] with him like man, you already got yours. you you trying to tell us get out of the line, you know, but then like he I'm thinking about it.

11:09

I'm like, man, like something telling me like like you know, I'm like he said the line is shorter. I'm like something

11:16

telling me to [ __ ] with it. So I'm like oh I'm a huge proponent like follow your first mind like that gut feeling that

11:21

feeling in the back of your head like follow that like that's you telling you or that's God or whoever you want to say

11:27

it is but just follow that first that that voice in your head follow that first line. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, he come back. I'm

11:33

like, "Hey," I'm like, "You said there's no line over at Crunch Expo." And he's like, "Nah, I said the line is shorter." I'm like, "All right, bet." So, now I'm

11:40

like, "All right." I'm thinking like I'm about to go over there, but I'm like kind of like hesitant about it cuz I'm

11:45

like, I'm in my spot and like where I'm at, I'm feeling like I got a shot where I'm standing at. The The thing about it, you you might as

11:51

well go cuz you was basically Martha Stewart in the situation. That was insider trading. The homie came up and was like, "Hey, go to that line. It's

11:56

shorter." So, go over there, homie. Follow your instinct. come to find out if he really was was tapped in. I'mma

12:02

tell you. So I'm like, "All right, bet." So uh but when I'm talking to the dude, so I come to find out the Mexican dude I'm line with his name is Carlos. So he

12:08

like, "Hey, if you go down there to Expo and Crunch Station and if the line is uh

12:14

is is too long, like we'll hold your spot." I'm like, "Man, facts." I'm like, "Bad." I'm like, "You showing love." So

12:20

I'm like, "Say less." I'm like, "All right, I'm going to show love, too." So I'm like, "What?" I'm like, "Give me your number so that uh when I get there,

12:26

if the line is shorter, I'mma hit y'all and then y'all come down here cuz like I'm in a whip or whatever, but like they

12:31

was on the train. So, I'm like, "All right, I'm going to get there. I'll tell y'all the line. Uh, you know, tell y'all how the line is. Y'all just hop on the

12:37

train and just sag down there and meet me. I'll hold y'all spot." Okay. So, he give me his number. And as he gave me his number, he like uh he like,

12:44

you know, it's 323 555 55 like 55. Like,

12:49

he kind of was like questioning the last two numbers or whatever. So, I ain't thinking nothing of it. So, I'm like I'm

12:54

like, "All right, bet. I about to shoot you a text with my name so you like lock me in." So, I shoot him the text and so he could confirm. I'm like, "Oh, should

13:00

I text?" Like, you feel me? He like, "All right." So, I'm like, "All right, cool." So, then I pull off um I go down

13:06

there and on my way down to Xbox. I get a text from the number like like cuz I already text him my name. I get a text

13:12

from number. He sent me a question mark. I'm like, "Damn, he horny." Like horny. Yeah. I'm like, "Let me get there first.

13:18

Like, I'm going to hit you up. I'm going tell you." So, I get there. It ain't nowhere. uh to really park like so I'm

13:24

like I'm trying to find this like a little parking ride like cuz I'm used to like growing up in Compton like at the uh at the the Rosa Park station like on

13:31

the blue line it's like a mad [ __ ] parking lot to where you could just park your car hop on a train like literally

13:37

called parking rod right so I'm like I don't I don't know if it's not one over there or if I just don't see it or whatever. So, long story

13:43

short, I park across the street from the station at this nail salon. And so, the nail salon is in like a little shopping

13:48

center. Like, so it's a nail salon. It's a bunch of other like random [ __ ] but it kind of look like

13:54

things not just closed right now. It kind of look like things might be closed like permanently.

13:59

So, like out of business. Yeah. So, I pull up and like they got the little metal like, you know, uh little shades down or whatever for the

14:05

nail salon. So, I'm like, "All right, even if they do open, it's like 8:30 now." I'm like, "Even if they do open, they ain't really going to be open.

14:11

Nelson allowed to open till like 10 11:00 a.m. type [ __ ] So I'm like, "All right, we cool." Well, let me cut you off real quick. So

14:17

So the thing about LA, I'm going to give you a little bit of LA insight. Um how you was talking about stuff look open,

14:22

it look closed. It It was just very mysterious in Los Angeles. It's too many people and it's not enough parking.

14:28

Everybody in LA got three cars. It's too many people, too many cars, and not enough parking. So you will get a ticket. You will get your [ __ ] towed. We

14:35

are the fifth largest economy and we get a lot of revenue from tickets. And when

14:41

you come to LA, it's it's a lot of architecture. That's [ __ ] 1970s strip malls. Like you you go into a

14:48

shopping center, you see a shopping center every other block. Nail shop, liquor store, smoke shop. Nail shop, liquor store, smoke shop. So So that's

14:54

what he talking about. It could have been uh Boost Mobile that was closing down, turning into a Cricut Wireless. We

15:00

don't know. But could have been a random laundry mat. Could have been a t-shirt store. Like anything. I I legitimately don't even

15:05

know what else is over there. I just know the nail salon. So like I back my car in and you know I'm right in front

15:10

of the nail salon and something kind of telling me like cuz the parking lot damn near empty. Some kind of telling me I should park like in the same parking lot

15:17

but on the other side of the parking lot like it's like a brick wall right here. So businesses over here, brick wall

15:22

right here. So I'm like I should park right here by the brick wall. But I'm like [ __ ] it. I just park over here by the Nelson lot. I didn't follow my first

15:28

mind. So I'm back in pull in or whatever back in uh hop out then I go across the

15:33

street. I get in line. So now I'm on a platform at the expo and crush station and this one lady behind me. She the cut

15:38

off. So I got there just in time like cuz they they from her on they making people walk over here across the train

15:44

tracks and like line up like on craw. So I'm like, "All right, perfect. At least I get to be on the platform." Like, and

15:51

then like after her, it's like about like four, five like metro dudes come up like and one of them happened to be the

15:56

dude from the other train station that told me to come to expo. So I see him. I'm like, "Hey." I'm like, "You was just at uh at the at the at the hustle

16:03

station." He like, "Yeah, the plug right on me. That this this my man's like, "Shout out to shout out to him

16:08

where he is." Yeah. So he like Yeah. He like, "Yeah, yeah, I was just over there." I'm like, "Man, good looking out." You feel me? Like I I

16:14

I a little side note, I try to be solid. Like I try to be I try to treat people the way I want to be treated, you feel

16:19

me? So he [ __ ] it's a tribe called Bass. So he threw me the lob. I'm like, "Man, good luck." And the least I could do is

16:25

like, "Man, I appreciate you." You feel me? Cuz he could have been on [ __ ] [ __ ] He could have been trying to just get [ __ ] spots in line, whatever. So he

16:30

end up coming in. I'm like, "Good looking out. You put me on." He like, "Yep." He like, "You the only person that listen." I'm like, "All right, bet." So now we all in line and

16:37

everything cool. Like it's a beautiful day. Like it's a nice Friday. Like everything everything is straight. Like

16:42

and so my and you remember like I said the lady was the cut off behind me but then it's the four or five like metro

16:47

[ __ ] So now they the new cut off. So now anybody that come up like cuz how it was we was all lined up on one side of

16:54

the platform so that anybody that's just getting on and off the train they got space. So like a dude come up old [ __ ] pull up

17:00

like everything cool like into this old [ __ ] pull up. So he pull up on a bike right and so he get there and he asking

17:08

they like hey you want to get on the train go ahead. And he they he like, "No, like I'm here for the tap cards." Like, and so they like, "Oh, okay. Well,

17:13

the line is like across like the street like over here." Like when tap across the street, it's like just like a little

17:18

walk or whatever. So they it's like he he like, "Oh, he like, "Yeah, man." Like, "But I'm I'm trying to get the tap car." Like I'm he like I'm right here

17:24

cuz it's enough room for him on the platform. Like it's not like him being at the edge of the platform. Like he

17:29

wasn't all the way like in the way or whatever. So he like, "Yeah, man." They I'm just trying to get the top. They like, "Man, go across the street." Like,

17:36

you feel me? That's where the line is now. And there's literally other people over there. So like he legitimately like cutting people anyway by being here.

17:42

So the [ __ ] saying he going to finesse the line. He pull up on I'm assuming a beach cruiser. He pull up on the beach cruiser and just want to finesse the

17:48

line first. It I ain't going to lie, the bike was lowkey on some heavy duty [ __ ] Like low spend some money they had to spend some

17:54

money on. Like he had a little foam mount on that [ __ ] and all that. Like tires on that [ __ ] was thick and everything. Like it's like [ __ ] like

17:59

instead of him having a car, he got a bike. You feel me? Like so he So yeah. So he posted him in his bike. Like he

18:06

just like sitting there like you feel me? taking a space and whatever and he starts getting like taking offense to them telling him to go and mind you they

18:12

telling him on some chill [ __ ] like they not on no rah [ __ ] and he like man you know you trying to hear all that man one

18:17

of the metro [ __ ] one of the young [ __ ] like man like we don't care like we told you go across the street man and

18:23

he like yeah he like [ __ ] I ain't going nowhere and he like man yo shut your old ass up or whatever and he was like and

18:29

this how you know that that the [ __ ] was a old [ __ ] cuz he's like [ __ ] he's like this 40s on mine like and mind you like young [ __ ] don't talk like that

18:36

no more like [ __ ] that be like [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] this whoopy whoop whoop [ __ ] I'm from blah blah blah like like you feel me? So he like no this 40 don't

18:42

mine and then the [ __ ] at Metro he like man he like man I don't want to hear that or whatever like and then uh the

18:47

other [ __ ] from Metro they start calming him down like you feel me and like one of the [ __ ] the same dude that told me to come uh come over here

18:54

to this station from uh over at the hustle station like he mind you this [ __ ] he got like neighborhood tattoo on

18:59

his forearm like a rolling tattoo on the other arm the the metro employee. Yeah but he cool though like he he he

19:05

mad cool. He calming down the other [ __ ] like the other [ __ ] that was working for retro like he was he way

19:10

more turned up and like the [ __ ] know like nobody bang back on the old [ __ ] like it wasn't no it wasn't no problems

19:16

like and then after that they just let him just left him like let him be like he lowkey like like uh like like bullied

19:23

his way into the end of the new ending of the line. So he's just there posted up the whole time now. So man, we we we talk about hustling a

19:29

lot. He was he was saying about the MTA employees, they didn't bang back. They didn't pack them out. They didn't do nothing. And they just let the old dude

19:35

live. They was cooling. It's It's nothing more respectable and admirable than a [ __ ]

19:41

with a job. Like if you a reformed street dude and and you got a job, homie, you are a hustler. Do your thing.

19:48

Don't let nobody in this world shame you about having a job. Yeah. You where you supposed to be at that point. You feel me? Especially like

19:54

if you're a street [ __ ] and you come from off the streets and you take that same hustle or that same mentality, that same drive and you put that into a 9-5,

20:01

you put that into some entrepreneurial [ __ ] or whatever you're doing, like you you going to go like, you feel me? I know [ __ ] like to judge street [ __ ]

20:07

hood [ __ ] a lot. But nah, once once you once you kind of, you know, run the streets or whatever, go through the

20:13

gamut of that, you tired of that and you come over this way like Yeah. Like [ __ ] is cool. I don't work with a lot of [ __ ] They used to bang or

20:18

whatever. Like them [ __ ] is always cool. Like Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. So now the old [ __ ] at the end of the line. So we posted up, we

20:26

chilling. Like everybody talking about the cars, you feel me? It go from being like, "Oh, it's going to be like 2,000 per station." It's like [ __ ] is like,

20:32

"Hey, it's only going to be like a couple hundred." Like, "Oh, switch." Yeah. Mind you, like you said, when uh when I had the insider trading and her

20:38

old boy knew, like when I say he was tapped in, like yes, he works for Metro, but he was really really tapped in cuz he talking to his mans on the phone. His

20:44

man is like, "Yo, I'm on the cameras right now." Like I'm looking at the cameras. The the line is is short at Expo. Like he's like, "Just go over

20:50

there." So, I'm like, I'm glad that I followed my first mind. I listen and I got over there. Completely forgot to say

20:57

this word, too. So, when I get there, I'm I'm on my [ __ ] I'm trying to be honorable. So, my man's Carlos from at

21:03

the other station, like the one that told me he'd hold my line if I had to come back. He gave me his number. I told you it's kind of shaky on the number.

21:08

Like, I think he might have been a little faded, you feel me? Cuz I'm like, what type of [ __ ] don't know your own phone number? So, like when I uh the

21:15

reason why I got the question mark tattoo is like is when I get there I I like I I text I text Carlos I take

21:21

pictures. I'm like, "Hey, this line way shorter like come over here." You feel me? He uh I get a response back. It's like wrong number. So, I'm like, "Ah,

21:27

that's why that's why I got the question mark text because it it wasn't Carlos, you feel me? So, Carlos, man, you you

21:34

hearing this? You see this, bro? Like, I tried like I got the text messages like I tried to text you and tell you and a

21:40

old boy that was with you to to come over there. You feel me? I try to really treat people how I want to be treated. Like it's it's really that simple. Like

21:47

the [ __ ] did not have to extend the offer to me to be like, "We'll hold your spot." So I was wanted to extend the same offer like, "Bro," you feel me?

21:53

Shout shout out Carlos. Thank you, Carlos. Shout out Carlos, you feel me? Um, just [ __ ] the thought that counts. So,

22:00

so you feel me? So, all right. So, now you know I'm there. Like I said, my mans and them, they not they not going to meet me there, you feel me? So, now I'm

22:06

just posted up in line. Like I said, we all just chopping it up and you know, then we get the info like the Metro [ __ ] is like, "Man, it's only going to

22:12

be like aboutund and some cars like per station." And what they going to do is they going to uh send out teams. They

22:17

going to send one team to this station, one team to that station. D and and they all going to fill up the tap cars. Like,

22:22

you know, mind you, we're supposed to be in in the machine by like 9:00 a.m., right? That's not what happened. So, as we

22:28

standing there, we come to find out that instead of it being multiple teams from Metro that's going and filling up the stations, it's going to be one one team.

22:35

going to be one dude that's going to go to the high park station. Then he going to come to the the commercial Xbox station. He going to fill that one up

22:40

first then come fill this one up and then it's like I said it's like four other stations but like all the way

22:45

going all the way to Hollywood. You could have got this [ __ ] at uh the tap cars at Hollywood and Vine. You feel me? So So they capping you. You said

22:50

initially they was going to be like they going to had a they going to have boom boom boom. They going to have machines filled up. But they got one guy running a route going

22:58

from station to station to station. So if you waiting in line, you trying to get your card, you got to wait on

23:03

homeboy to get there. It's it's like it's a waste of time. So now go from being like oh no like they'll be in the machine by 9 to like

23:09

nah like you know so we posted up we waiting for dude to get there but while we waiting like this this is my

23:15

favorite part of the whole day. So while we waiting mind you like said the vibes is the vibes is great. Like everybody

23:20

cooling like [ __ ] is playing Nipy in the line like somebody got a big ass speaker out there just bumping different

23:26

Nip songs. Like this lady drive by she like we love you Nipccy. Like it was like it it I'm already proud as [ __ ] to

23:33

be from LA County. You feel me? But it it just made me take even more pride. You know? I know they throw like a lot

23:38

of smud on our name. Like LA people weird. LA people fake. Cap. You feel me? Like y'all don't be out here. Y'all

23:43

don't be in LA. Like y'all be in Hollywood. Like y'all be trying to live a Hollywood life and y'all be in the

23:48

valley. Y'all be in all these different places where people are fake there or people want to know what you do for a

23:54

living because they want to utilize you. You feel me? Versus you really in parts of LA, you really in South LA, you

23:59

really in Compton, Watts, Inglewood, you feel me? Even other places outside, you know, Long Beach. you here. You going to meet real authentic people, real legit

24:05

people. Well, look look I'm I'm going to shoot them some bail. They should hate on us cuz we better than everybody else. Like

24:12

the whole of California though when we say we better like like me and this [ __ ] we we we like like I said my

24:19

allegiance is Compton first, LA County second, then California, then the whole entire West Coast. So when we say when

24:26

we say us, we mean from San Diego way up north, you feel me? to the Bay to sack Vallejo Oakland to all of that.

24:34

Look, we have earthquakes, we have mudslides, and it's hot,

24:40

but I rather live here than in your place, man. N swear facts. Like, so all right.

24:45

So, it's like, like I said, the quintessential like LA day, you feel me? The only thing would have made it more LA is like if the [ __ ] tamalei lady

24:52

came by or somebody came by some, you feel me? Like that's the only thing that would have just made it more like LA.

24:57

like that. Somebody would have made a killing, too. But anyway, [ __ ] so we posted up. Um, like I said,

25:03

everything is cool. They get into it with the little old I don't even want to say they get into it. [ __ ] just had a little kuruffle with the old [ __ ]

25:09

whatever. So, so everything else, yeah, a little tiff. There you go. So, everything else though is is beautiful.

25:15

Like, so we cooling and so uh my once again, my favorite part. So we out there and like this old [ __ ] pull up in a uh

25:22

black Camaro like about like well like about like a 2000s like Camaro I think like you feel me?

25:29

You know I know cars. Yeah. You know and I don't like so he pull up in like a marrow. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. It's a hard top all black right.

25:36

And so he like he's screaming [ __ ] like you know like man the black man this and you know Donald Trump is trying to take

25:41

this from us like you know and then like now [ __ ] in the line they [ __ ] with him now so they screaming [ __ ] back. [ __ ] is like, "Man, like uh one [ __ ]

25:48

like, "Man, every black man ain't from Africa." Another [ __ ] like, "Man, you don't got no hoes." Like, "Man, don't

25:53

want to hear that." Like, [ __ ] just like being [ __ ] right? So, they yelling at him, whatever. He like, "All right, whatever." So, he like

25:59

he peel off. And then he come back like, like, you know, he like spun the block, came back really quick or whatever, and then so like, you know, he still like

26:05

Yeah. blah blah blah like yelling [ __ ] or whatever. And um mind you, the irony of it, he yelling [ __ ] out the window,

26:11

but he yelling like positive [ __ ] like you know he yelling like he not tripping

26:16

like he just like turned up he's just aggressive like so so that that's [ __ ] [ __ ] that's LA [ __ ] yeah power to the people black is

26:23

beautiful you ain't got no hoes yeah yeah on me that was the whole gamut like cuz we got that out here too like we you know shout out to [ __ ] out here

26:30

selling bean pods bean pods like the Israelite [ __ ] might be posted up on some corners yelling and screaming at you like you know you you going to get

26:36

that out here too you feel me so like you know like when he spun the block and came right back yelling some old [ __ ] like tell me you ain't got no hoes and

26:42

they telling Now, now this where [ __ ] offended the [ __ ] out of me. Now what are the [ __ ] uh whatever the metro [ __ ] tell me, "Hey," he said, "Nigga,

26:48

your car is slow as fuck." And so he he leaving, but like as he leaving like he making a left like on Cresaw. That's

26:55

like the last thing he heard. He's like, "What?" He was like, "What?" Like he took offense to it. Like the [ __ ] damn near crashed when when he heard it. So

27:03

the [ __ ] uh like he he pulled off or whatever. That was the [ __ ] final straw. He pulled off and then like we

27:08

all just there [ __ ] chilling chopping it up. Like mind you, about like 30 45 minutes go by. The [ __ ] comes back, but

27:14

now like he he come back and he's in a [ __ ] white Camaro this time, like a convertible. So he like, "Man, I changed

27:20

my car." It's like, "I changed my clothes." Like he turned up. Everybody laughing like [ __ ] is holling. Like

27:26

[ __ ] recording it like everything like I that I put respect on his name after that. Y'all told him [ __ ] was slow and

27:31

he came back and some [ __ ] But But wait, hold on. So So look, some more LA insight. If you from LA, every black

27:38

dude and every Mexican dude wants a catfish Camaro. I'mma throw some pictures in so y'all see what I'm

27:44

talking about. But but but that's like a [ __ ] dream. The catfish Camaro and Old Boy got two of them. They might be V6s

27:51

and he might not got no hoes, but he got two Catfish Camaros. Yeah. [ __ ] doubled up on some Nipy [ __ ]

27:56

for real. Double up. So now he in a white Camaro. He like, "Yeah, I change my car. I change my car.

28:02

I got to change my clothes." Like, but he's still yelling positive [ __ ] too. He still he still like you turned up and

28:08

so [ __ ] like man your [ __ ] slow. Then the [ __ ] that told him [ __ ] was slow the first time. He said [ __ ] get this [ __ ] Camaro out of here. He said

28:13

your first one was faster than this like and you feel he's like and you still ain't got no hoes. And so now the [ __ ]

28:19

go bust a [ __ ] turn back around and he like man like Nipy Hustle is dead. He like all this money is going to the

28:25

white man. This money going to MTA. This money not going to his family. Like whatever. Like you know. So like I said

28:30

the [ __ ] was hilarious though. Tub [ __ ] pretty much. Like the [ __ ] was hilarious. like he wasn't lying though

28:36

like you feel me or I don't know I don't I don't know the splits you feel me like you know but he wasn't lying about you know this MTA money so anyway so now

28:44

that the [ __ ] pull off like I said everything still cool we chopping it up and so it's getting closer and closer to the dude getting here and so now we find

28:49

out it's only going to be like I saidund some cards uh it's only going to be one version of it because it's two versions

28:55

of the tap car too so it's the one I gave you the black and white one but it's another version that one is hard as [ __ ] it's nipped like it's in color and

29:01

he's sitting on at the back of the bus like I I love that when I saw that picture. Yeah, that one is hard, too. To come to

29:06

find out, I guess you can only get that at like a customer care center or something like a metro like, you know, center or whatever, right? So, um, so we

29:13

found out we can't get that one. We only get the black and white one. But then like instead of getting one, they like, you get five of them. Like that's that's

29:18

that's the max you could get. So, like, all right, bet. So, it's like, okay, well, tap card is $2, but then you got

29:24

to preload it with $5 on there. So, it's like, all right, you know, for like uh $7 a card, 35 bucks. So, you know, some

29:30

people some people in line like, "Damn, I don't like I don't got the 35." Like, some [ __ ] is like, "I'm just here like

29:36

for like one or two." I'm like, "Are you bet?" Like, but but it ain't nothing wrong with being a broker because I've been in

29:43

plenty of lines where my heart been racing. You You where some [ __ ] is at and they got money? Are you out and you

29:48

trying to impress a girl and you getting ready to slide that card and your heart be racing? I know firsthand what it's

29:54

like to be a brokester. [ __ ] it be payday. I it'll be a fresh Friday payday and I still be scared my car ain't going

30:00

to go like [ __ ] my ass be puckered up grocery shopping [ __ ] that's them past traumas like all

30:06

right so you know we in line and then we find out we can get five car you know cool like and then but like the metro

30:11

[ __ ] was slick though like and shout out to them cuz they could have been like throwing that weight around and like cutting [ __ ] in line but they was being honorable about it they were

30:17

honorable honorable about it and they was like yeah like you know they told us that like we can't get no cars until pretty much like y'all get them first or

30:23

whatever but then one one [ __ ] he was smart he was Like he asked this girl online, he like, "How many cars you getting?" She was like, "Man, I'm only

30:29

going to get like three." She like, "I'm just here to get them like me and my siblings or whatever." Like they couldn't show up. And he like, "Here,

30:34

give me two and then you keep the change." He had to send her like a dub or whatever. Hello. So she made a little $6 profit, you know? She did. She pretty

30:41

much got whatever type free. So I'm like, "All right, that was smart of him or whatever." So then all the other metro [ __ ] asking people, "How many

30:46

you get? How many you get?" I'm like, "I'm getting five, nigga." Like, right? I'm getting all five of them. Maxing out. Maxing out. You feel me? So I'm like,

30:53

"Uh, all right." All right. So, yeah, we in line then, you know, uh the dude finally get here and then like so he uh

31:00

he drive by in a white van and they like the metro [ __ ] like there it is right there. There go the white van like he going to come like and fill it up like

31:06

but M like 9:30 now like it's getting close to 10:00 like so. Um, so yeah. So

31:12

he drive by, the [ __ ] drive by again. He like teasing us like the [ __ ] like trying to like find somewhere to park or he just like spinning the block trying

31:18

to make sure [ __ ] safe, whatever. Like so so what was it? Was it Beanie Seagull? The the the streets not only watching but they talking now. They got

31:24

me circling the block before I'm parking now man. So you know being vigilant you feel me? So he finally parked and then but

31:31

mind you like like when I say vigilant like bro so he get out he being escorted

31:37

by like two three police officers. So, all right. Look. Yeah. So, what

31:42

homie pulled up like like the like the president? I I hope his security was better than the secret service cuz you

31:47

see what happened to orange dude, the man, right? All right. So, yeah. So, he getting escorted like they walk

31:53

across the street and then these [ __ ] is waiting for the light. You feel me? So, the light finally changed. Then he walk up the platform. He got he got two

31:59

small boxes like you feel me? Mind you, the tap car. Y'all seen this card. The cards they they small so you can't fit like hundreds of them in like two little

32:06

boxes. But we all kind of like like man like I hope you got enough in there like

32:12

it's getting sticky. Excuse me. Right. So he uh he get up there, he load the machine up and then

32:19

you know boom it's it's it's good now. It's green like you feel me? So I will shout metro off for this too though. It

32:25

was this was way more organized than I thought it would be. Like I didn't really have any like idea of like how it

32:31

was going to be. You feel me? I just was like hoping [ __ ] was going to be in some cool [ __ ] So they had like, you know, the lines was was roped off. Like

32:37

you, you know, stand here, don't block this. And then they also had two Metro dudes uh right up by the tap card

32:43

machine. So it's not just you up there [ __ ] around trying to put it in or whatever. Like you go, you walk up and do how many tap cards you want. He tell

32:50

you how many you want and then you know, you [ __ ] pay for them and you get them and you dip, which was super cool cuz we would have been waiting for

32:56

everybody. Like we would have been there forever. [ __ ] would have been getting 10 cards, all that. Cuz mo most people in LA don't know how

33:02

to use selfch checkckout. In fact, in fact, it damn near was some check out. So, uh so yeah, but as we in line, like

33:08

it's got it's getting a little spooky cuz like [ __ ] is like, "Oh, it's cash only or you can't use no debit card or you can't use a credit card or oh no,

33:15

actually you can use a debit card, but you can't use a credit card, whatever." So, like I'm like it's like two people

33:20

in front of me and then uh like they like, "Oh, hold on." Like and this dude come out of nowhere, he walking back up

33:25

and they like, "Yo, his car wasn't working, so we let him get out of line, go get some money, and then come back." I'm like, "All right, bet." Like, you

33:31

feel me? I just thought this [ __ ] was trying to look up on us and like just cut. Well, that that's fire. They they they kept homie place in line because like if

33:37

I was trying to get some Nipy memorabilia and I was in line, I'll give semen. I give blood. Like I'm trying to

33:43

get that card. I'm not leaving without no cards. Yeah, I'm leaving here with something. So, uh so yeah, it's all right. Cool.

33:49

Like I said, two people in front of me, you know, uh with three cuz old boy come back, he do his little transaction. Other two people then I do mine and you

33:56

know do how many you want? Like I want five. He push all the little buttons, give me the five. if I you know pay for

34:01

it then like you know I get on or whatever see your old boy at the end of the line tell him good looking out one more time I'm like good looking out bro

34:08

like you feel me like you put me on so shout out right and then so now some like something kind of like nagging me some

34:14

kind of like telling me like hurry up and like go back to your car but like I'm just I'm cool spidey sense tingling low key like you feel but I'm kind of

34:20

like on the high of like getting the cars like you feel me mind you I've been up since 5 in the morning even went to the gym and all that

34:26

so I'm like all right I'm uh I'm on my way like going back to my car and it's just like I just got to cross like this

34:32

little small street and then I got to go across Krenshaw and then go to where my car is. So I'm like all right like I'm

34:38

trying to hurry and catch this light but the boys is in the middle of the crosswalk like they in the way. So I'm like man [ __ ] it. So I just heard run

34:44

around there running around their car so I can catch the other light and then like boom like now the light I sync up with the light perfectly light turn

34:49

green. Then I start walking across the street and it was a girl who was like one of the people in front of me and then I'm like hey you going to get the

34:55

the colored version of the car cuz like some of them was talking about it. They was exchanging numbers and [ __ ] So, I'm lowkey like trying to get the scoop, you

35:01

feel me? I'm like, "You going to get the the color version?" Whatever. She like, "I'mma try and whatever." I'm like, "Yeah, okay." I'm like, you know, she

35:06

like, "You going to get it?" I'm like, "Maybe like I don't know." Like, you feel me? Then, so we end up both being in the same parking lot. So, she go to

35:12

her car, go to my car, she all right, bye. I'm like, "Be safe." You feel me? So then, or stay dangerous. Or stay dangerous. Whatever you want to,

35:17

you feel me? I'm a square from Delaware. So, I'm trying to be safe like you feel me? So then I uh and then like it's like

35:23

pandemonium now at the little shopping center. Like mind you, when I got there it was dead, but now this [ __ ] lively, like, you feel me? So now it's it's an

35:29

Asian dude at the nail salon. He got his head out the door. He talking to the other old bald dude. And they like the bald dude like yeah these my cars right

35:36

here. The Asian dude like these mines right here. Like you know either his employees or customers or whatever. And the bald dude like I mean like I got to

35:42

I told you I come right now. So I'm like oh [ __ ] So I hurry up. Like so I hop in my [ __ ] and like mind you like I told

35:47

you I backed in. So I'm backed into the spot like this and I'm like I need to pull out like you feel me? So like now

35:52

as I'm pulling out I see the ass end of the tow truck coming up. So I'm like oh [ __ ] So I peel out, go this way, and

35:58

then dip out. So I'm like, [ __ ] like that was that was like the final straw where some like, [ __ ] hurry up and get

36:03

to your car. Cuz mind you, I had completely forgot. Like I wasn't really thinking about, "Let me hurry and get back to my car." Cuz like you said, like

36:09

out here they like mind you. Like now I used to write the parking tickets. Like I used to work for this city. Like I

36:15

used to do that. They would tow you, they would ticket you, they get you the [ __ ] out of here like quick. You feel me? Like lowkey rightfully so. Like you

36:21

feel me? From where I was at. So after that, like I peel off and like everything was straight, you feel me?

36:26

Everything was cool. Like you know, everything was cool. Like it was a really good day. Like I said, it was a beautiful Friday. Like [ __ ] wasn't

36:33

tripping. Like was nobody on [ __ ] Was nobody trying to rob nobody. Was nobody trying to like press nobody, no

36:40

nothing. Like it was it was a real like beautiful like LA day. So today was a good day like Ice Cube, right?

36:45

Pretty much. And and it's it's funny how you was talking about it like man he like the way he painted the picture. It

36:50

was a complete vibe. Like that's kind of like how how LA days are. It's like we got a lot of stuff going on in LA. It's

36:56

a melting pot. But it's like everything meshes together. Different races, different neighborhoods. It's like you

37:02

got the weed, you got the women, the sun is out nine out of 10 times. You got cars everywhere. So it's just like, man,

37:10

it it sounded like a whole vibe. I wish I was there. Yeah, it was. It was It was It was cool. And like I said, mind you, like cuz the

37:16

homie that asked me before cuz uh like also too, like same day when they got

37:21

them top cars, like [ __ ] was selling them on eBay like you feel making like $100, you feel me? So the homie was

37:26

like, "Yo," he like, "Did you know it was going to like have value?" And I'm like like I'm like yes and no. You feel

37:31

me? And like and I say I say like no because I just wanted the car for myself like I told y'all. Like nip was

37:38

important to me. Like you feel me? And I like to collect things. So I'm like man I want it. You feel me? And then I'm also like, yes, I kind of figured it

37:44

would have value is because like it's other people from different states that's going to want them. It's other people like, you feel me, that was at

37:50

work that couldn't get them. And then two, I'm like I feel like now when something releases, especially something

37:55

that's limited edition, something kind of like if it ain't a pair of shoes or clothes or something like this, like a tap card or something, I feel like

38:02

whenever the [ __ ] come out, like like we all hear, oh, such and such just dropped and people waited a long hours for it

38:07

and then uh they was selling for thousands of dollars later or whatever, like you feel me? I'm like, man, like I

38:12

know better. Like I said, I collect things. I collect things that tend to appreciate with value. Like, you feel me? For the most part. So, I'm like,

38:18

okay. Like, I'm, you know, I'm going just I'm going just grab one. But, like, when [ __ ] said you can grab five, I'm like, oh, it's it's lit. Like, I'm for

38:24

sure going to grab five of them. Yeah. You feel me? Trying to like flip one like, you know? So, yeah, I went home, flipped one that same day. Like,

38:30

cuz I feel like the stories always go viral. Like, yo, people stood in line waiting for [ __ ] Dish Tiles and then like, oh, dish Tiles was selling online

38:37

for $3,000. Like, it's like, okay, let me go get me something then. Like it it it's like everything is for sale

38:43

including your soul. Like I know y'all remember toilet tissue during the pandemic and I know y'all remember the

38:49

price of eggs. So yeah. But man, so I'm I'm I'm a chatty patty. I I was just

38:55

thinking about the whole time you were sitting here telling me the story. I was thinking about Nipy and um Nipy got a

39:01

couple songs with Young Thug. I am not a Young Thug fan. Not even a little bit. I don't understand half the [ __ ] he be

39:06

saying. Um that's Grandpa Nalo. But one of my favorite songs is by uh Nipy

39:12

and Young Thug. I got to skip his part and off the slo boy. Hello.

39:17

Yeah. Hello. Um 11 past 11. She told me make a wish. I told her pass the blunt. You

39:22

always trying to nag the [ __ ] But anyway, it's a Nipy line for everything. I'm I'm just chatty Patty. But anyway,

39:29

um so I was just thinking about Young Thug. Nipy was such a a sturdy uh character. He had so much integrity. He

39:36

was he was solid as hell. so much of a man. And that just makes me think about

39:41

all this young young thug stuff that's going on. It's like all that slime and and snake. You lived up to your name.

39:49

Like you are like a slimy snake. Um the the the reason that I bring it up is because

39:55

I know y'all heard the the the two hours and something worth of worth of tapes and and ratting. Um, I don't understand

40:04

why he coerced his brother into taking the Alfred plea, but Gunner is a rat for

40:12

taking the Alfred plea. It's the same thing. You are hard on Gunner. Gunner. That's all I listen to is

40:18

Gunner. Gunner. Yeah, he a little bit different. Like, like he's not a [ __ ] He's a negro. He's one of the good ones.

40:23

Yeah, one of the good ones. He got he got an afro with no hedge up. Yeah. But but uh Yeah. So, you know, now

40:29

he he's moving to Gold Post and he's talking about, you know, he wanted his brother to go home and see mom, but but Gunnar ain't allowed to see his family.

40:36

And Gunner came home and he has been absolutely killing it. I I listened to a

40:42

couple of his albums. It sounds good. I'm not an Atlanta fan. These albums sound like one long song, but I listen

40:48

to some of it. It sounds good. It's sonically appealing, you know, for as much of it as I could tolerate. play it.

40:54

Te tell me what what part of the game is that where it's all right for one dude to rap but not the other

40:59

man that mind you come from a square like L7 me too.

41:04

Yeah. You know so I don't know like cuz it's the same deal right like the brother deal and the gunner deal same

41:11

deals right? Yeah. Exact exact same deal from the uh the boys the law. That's crazy. Like I don't I just I just

41:17

I don't I don't I don't get that like to where Okay. And I understand like, you feel me? Um, having some bias towards

41:24

your brother, you feel me? But it's just like if I tell you to do one thing and then, you know, like, but hold the the

41:31

homie like accountable in a different way. Like that's weird. Especially if it's as a [ __ ] that's kind of supposed to be like a brother to me as as well,

41:38

you know? But then it's like if it's okay for uh for you to do it, it's okay for the next man to do it. That's how I feel. But when it comes to the street

41:43

[ __ ] I don't know, man. Like that ain't my life. That ain't my rules. Like

41:49

Yeah. I'm I'm the I'm the same as you. I am uh I'm square as a box. But as a consumer of hip hop and a consumer of

41:56

the culture, I noticed that we we promote a lot of BS. And it's just like

42:01

all these street codes and all these street ethics that everybody is supposed to abide by as a civilian. Y'all look

42:08

crazy, man. Like y'all look crazy as hell. Like he called Kid Cuy a rat because Kid Cuy

42:14

was called to court for for Puffy blowing up his car. I hated that, bro.

42:21

My My hair is kind of greenish. I be having green hair, painted nails, the whole get down, short shorts, and the

42:27

whole get down. I'm I'm like kid Cuy. I'm I'm I'm from that school. You know what I'm saying? Like uh I'm from the

42:32

from the Forel when when everything that's white boy [ __ ] That's gay [ __ ] That's stupid. That that that's what I'm

42:38

from. So it's kind of like you can't call you can't call Cuy a rat if he's a

42:44

civilian. And you blew up my car. How am I ratting? Yeah, that's how you know it was like it was uh what's the uh what's

42:52

it like the Shakespeare quote like doth doth protest too much. The the lady doth protest too much.

42:58

Yeah, there we go. And it's it's really that it's like you calling everybody a snitch. Like it's like cuz the kid cutting [ __ ] was like it was uh I feel

43:05

it was mad called for like you feel me? But it's just like yeah you just was trying to put the snitch jacket on whoever else you could you feel me? Or

43:12

you probably was trying to make make it even kind of cool you feel me? Trying to was trying to get ahead of it type [ __ ] But yeah, it was just weird like calling

43:18

Cuy a snitch like you know keep it to like what you got going on talking about you Gunonna Woody whatever like but yeah

43:24

the the Cuddy [ __ ] was lame as [ __ ] but that that that's the way that life is how how you was just saying people

43:30

protest too much you you got to look at your heroes and look at the people that's uh protesting and the people that are deflecting and moving the goalpost

43:38

you are okay that's why everybody is homophobic it's a lot of dudes out here

43:43

that are curious about dick but They scared to try it, so they homophobic. And it's like, bro, you can't have it

43:50

both ways. You You got to be you. You only going to live one time. Yeah. You know what's crazy about that? Like, I I felt like it's always I feel

43:57

like the gayest thing a straight man could do is be concerned about a gay man. Like, it's it's weird. It's It's

44:04

weird to me because it's like we don't even do that to each other like to be like, "Hey, who you [ __ ] like? Like, what you like to do behind closed

44:10

doors?" So when you do that like a gay dude, it's like it's really like suspicious. Like it shouldn't concern

44:16

you. Like just like who I'm [ __ ] don't concern you. It shouldn't concern you what he's doing either. Like the [ __ ] is not contagious. It's nothing to

44:23

be scared of. Like it's a very like antiquated like mentality. Like and I understand like just not getting things

44:29

or not being comfortable with certain things. Cool. But I don't know, man. When y'all get so angry about it, it's

44:35

like suspicious or you are you or you seem so curious about it. It's weird. Like

44:40

And and and that's the thing. Everybody is scared to be theyel. So it's like you guys is your your your heroes and your

44:45

goats are are falling apart because everything that I've seen from Young Thug is is faulty. He was on there um

44:54

kicking in Kendrick Lamar's back. Like he said, "Oh, you 100 million up and you don't put on nobody." Last time that I

45:01

checked, um GNX, he made a bunch of unknown LA rappers known to the world.

45:07

GNX tour went bananas. Um, I mean, it's a lot of Kendrick

45:12

features and it's like, of course, that I'm trying to tell y'all like my my mind went blank, but man, y'all can't say that this man ain't never put on nobody.

45:18

Number one, he put on a lot of people, but it's also not his job to put on people. And while you're saying that

45:25

Kendrick should have came over there with you and made music and did some player [ __ ] And yeah, Young Thug also

45:31

said, "Oh, well, the rap community respects Kendrick, but not New York and not the streets and real [ __ ] don't

45:36

respect them. Come over here and be on some player [ __ ] and get some bitches." Everybody's player is not the same. We

45:43

We players in our own right. I'm player as hell. I'm not the kind of player you are. And maybe Kendrick didn't give you

45:48

that feature cuz he didn't want to be the kind of player that you are. Yeah. Yeah. And I think it should be

45:54

like, man, like it's so it's so weird. It's like we we have to like renormalize

45:59

somebody not [ __ ] with you. Like it's okay when people just don't rock with you. Like I I I don't think we need to

46:06

get in the comments and all this and just, you know, I hate this or this is garbage or whatever. You feel me? You

46:11

free to do that if you want to, but just not [ __ ] with something is like okay, you know, like and I don't know like

46:18

yeah, the whole Kendrick like Kendrick also too look at it from this point of view. Maybe he not putting on who you

46:23

wanted want him to put on. Like you say, he put on a bunch of dudes on GNX. Uh it's a bunch of dudes from uh from over

46:28

there in the west where he grew up at. He be having them [ __ ] on album covers on songs. He be having them [ __ ] on songs before even you know GNX or

46:36

whatever. So it's like all right, you know, like you you know that's cap saying he don't put nobody on or he don't do this or he don't do that. [ __ ]

46:42

introduces to his own cousin, you feel me? Like he also smutted Baby King. But anyway,

46:51

if you say Kendrick didn't do anything and he didn't put nobody on, go and do a couple Googles or get on chat GPT and

46:57

look at about his charitable donations to Compton. Look at what he's done for his city. Look at look at what he's done

47:04

for the people around him. Like Kendrick Lamar is one of those dudes that that makes it cool to be high flutin, to make

47:11

it be intelligent. And it's like Kendrick is the book that [ __ ] don't want to read. They say if you want to

47:16

hide something from a [ __ ] put it in the book. Kendrick is the book that y'all don't want to read. You guys are so [ __ ] scared to learn something.

47:23

Y'all scared to change. Yeah, man. Okay. Okay. Well, look. Okay. Oh, no.

47:30

One more thing about Kendrick. I'm sorry. I dig I digress. After he said all this stuff, he said that Buddy don't

47:35

help nobody and Drake helped everybody and Drake [ __ ] with everybody and and Kendrick is not better than Drake. Um,

47:43

then after the 6-minute rant, he said, "Oh, I hope that he do the feature." Mind you, bro, pay attention. Open your

47:49

eyes. Kendrick Lamar destroyed Drake because Drake

47:56

got froggy after Kendrick turned down that feature. So, it's like he said that he would make you into a song. You doing

48:02

the same thing that Drake did. He destroyed Drake after he turned down the Drake feature. And it's like, bro, if I

48:07

was you, I wouldn't be talking so so zesty cuz that it's dangerous. Like Kendrick, he ain't the one,

48:12

man. At all. Yeah. Glorilla. Oh, shout out GL. He was He was kicking

48:17

her back in. She is so cute. He says she's ugly. She is so cute. She's girl next door cute.

48:23

Yeah. Even before like the no pun intended, even before the little glow up like where she got the fake titties and all that. Like, oh, being cute.

48:30

I I don't understand what men's uh I don't understand what what a man's barometer barometer is. I don't

48:36

understand what cute or pretty or sexy is. Um, Glorilla is a woman and I think that

48:42

Young Thug looks like a woman. Like, um, no, I'm I'm dead serious. Like, young woman Young Thug, he looks like a woman

48:48

that I that I had sex with before. Like, he looks like the woman that like you you at the bar and, um, you had one too

48:55

many and you wake up in the morning and you was like, "Did I what the No, I didn't. Did I do that?" Like he he he

49:02

looks like that woman. the the the the one that's next to you like your heart is pitterpatter and you you you praying

49:07

to God that you pray that you was too drunk to [ __ ] He looks like that woman.

49:13

Damn. Okay. Okay. I just want to let lay that land like
