Two cities, one code: we trade stories on music, gang culture, food, fatherhood, and finding a calmer grind

What happens when West Coast grit meets Midwest calm? We sit down with Marko Breez to trace the path from freestyling out of garages to sharpening steel with MOB in the booth, and why fatherhood flipped the switch from “I could” to “I will.” The stories stretch across Long Beach, Southeast San Diego, and Chicago’s low end, but the throughline is code—how you talk, how you move, and how you keep your word when it costs.

We dig into the studio engine: writing vs freestyling, how healthy competition lifts verses, and the unglamorous reality of beat rights and clearances that can stall a heater. Then we widen the lens—Cali culture’s food and diversity, the slower, stack-friendlier rhythm of the Midwest, and the weirdness of getting waved at by cops you don’t trust. Chicago becomes a living syllabus: use street names, not government names; know which blocks require respect; let the city’s food map double as a tour of its values—from Harold’s and J&J’s to late-night grits and jerk spots on Michigan.

The conversation goes deeper on gangs, leadership, and policy: when the old heads were removed, rules fractured and clicks rose. The answer isn’t nostalgia—it’s ownership. If we call it our block, we buy it back. Even behind walls, order emerges: shared resources, clear lines, mutual aid. We tie that discipline to everyday life—pet peeves as respect cues, cleanliness as brand and spirituality, and the difference between internet bravado and real accountability. Marco’s five-year vision is vivid: music that pays, a healing business (Mellow Earth Remedies) that serves, and kids who grow up seeing stability. Call it hustle man mode: manifest through action, stack gear and guests, and keep showing up clean, focused, and honest.

If you’re here for studio game, street sense, food routes, or a real plan for turning talent into ownership, you’ll feel this. Subscribe, share with someone who needs the push, and drop a comment with one code you never break—then leave a review to help more people find the show.

Big chillin', big old.

SPEAKER_03: 2:26

Big chillin'. I feel that, I feel that, I feel that type shit. Tell me something about Marco.

SPEAKER_04: 2:38

I'm just a smooth nigga. Uh first and foremost, uh I just go with the flow shit. About me. I guess you gotta ask us like a lot of questions, like kinda figure me out, because I'm a nigga of uh of all traits. I done experienced life. I done seen it all, I done closed it at all. Copy that. Copy that, copy that, copy that, I'll feel that.

SPEAKER_03: 3:04

So right, you said dig into you. So right now, I'ma dig I'ma dig into the um the side you get his um professional. For sure, for sure. Alright. What got you to rap?

SPEAKER_04: 3:20

Not gonna lie. Growing up in the 90s, being a little shorty. My mom listened to all the West Coast rappers. You got Snoop, Drake, Tupac, Scarface, motherfucking E40. Then you got some of the San Diego rappers, you got Mitchie Sleep, J O Felony. Oh, Cali. Oh yeah, Cali nigga. Yeah, and then you got game in them. So it's like and then you got the Dove Shack. My cousin, too school, you're part of that. Okay, okay. So just seeing them do that, I was like, man, I could probably do that too. Okay. I'm gonna give that a shot. Type shit. So I didn't take it serious until I say about like a year or two ago. After my man took the bro matrix.

SPEAKER_03: 4:10

So now I'm rapping. Copy that. Copy that. And real talk. I'll be talking about shit too, though. You know. Real talk. So right, um, you from Cali. No question to ask. So um like you say, you didn't take the uh the rapping serious until you met our boy Major, you know, and found the uh Man on Bags. Um so um when you was um like are you like a freestylist or like lyrical listener?

SPEAKER_04: 4:45

So when I first started messing around with the rapping, I say it was about like 2017, 2018. So I would try to write, but I couldn't stick to it. And I was like, this ain't really cutting it. Either I'm losing phones or I'm losing over, right? Or somebody still myself, so I was like, I'm gonna just freestyle. And I start on SoundCloud, put a few songs on there. Occasionally I update it and then I moved back out here 2018. Still freestyling, but I wasn't taking it serious. And then I don't know, like after I had kids, I was like, nah, I need to do something. Hey, look, that will do it, so you know, that we'll do it to you know.

SPEAKER_03: 5:33

For real. So is there anything that you miss about uh Cali and I won't say tell me the difference between Cali and Minnesota, bro?

SPEAKER_04: 5:46

Yeah, it's a huge difference. Like every area got their ghetto for sure, for sure. Like I was born in Long Beach, but I was raised in Southeast San Diego. Two different areas we both got a ghetto. And shit, being in that environment versus the other one, it's like going from one extreme to a lesser extreme. Because either way, I still ended up getting bad. I still ended up being on the block. So it was just like the one thing I do miss the most is like the culture and the food, bro. Because it's like just being right there next to the water and having like a diverse culture. You got the Mexicans, the Asians, the Lao Asians, and Samoans. So it's like you got all these cultures coming in together. And you know, I'm a person who, you know, if I'm a talk the talk, I'm gonna walk the walk talk. So I'm I'm gonna figure out my people regardless of who they who they are. I call that your homework. You know what I'm saying? I call that your homework. I call that field search.

SPEAKER_03: 6:55

You understand that, man. I mean that's just the streets, you know, that's the street mentality. Only real niggas comprehend that, bro. Yeah, you know, so um like I know it's a big difference between where you're from and living here. Like I tell somebody I'm from Chicago, and it's a big difference from here. I told my people today earlier, he had just uh got out. So right, uh he he back for a couple of days, so he hollered at me, he called me, and like, okay, what's the difference? Dude, it's a big difference. I can go outside and house shoes and flip-flops, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta ru I'm I'm gonna say I ain't gotta toe I I ain't gotta tote, I ain't gotta do none of that there.

SPEAKER_04: 7:38

You know be on the leisure tip and nigga, the police wave at us out here, nigga.

SPEAKER_03: 7:44

Hey, you know what's funny though? We don't even fuck with the police at all. At all. And they be, hello, Mr.

SPEAKER_05: 7:50

Blackman, how's it going?

SPEAKER_03: 7:52

Hey, hey, look, I'll be sitting there like, man, you know I don't fuck with you. I got pulled over and said that. Man, why keep fucking with me? You know I'm fuck with the police. Like, come on now.

SPEAKER_05: 8:00

They're like, why are you giving us a hard time, man? We just want to say hello.

SPEAKER_04: 8:03

Hey, it is what it is.

SPEAKER_03: 8:04

Fuck y'all.

SPEAKER_04: 8:06

For real. Especially the crooked ones, like, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03: 8:09

Like, and they try to make sure. And see, you know something though about this town here? It just like, you know, you got some white folks, you know what I'm saying? Real talk. They don't fuck with them either. So, and then they find out all the information. They get all and they and everybody fuck with me, so they like, yeah, dirty, yeah?

SPEAKER_05: 8:29

He he could never. I know him.

unknown: 8:32

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04: 8:33

Never. Yeah, okay. He's a model citizen. And that's what we want him to think. That's what we want him to believe, because it's like, you don't need to know what we do behind closed doors.

SPEAKER_03: 8:44

Exactly. So, um, so what's some perks about living where we live at right now? Oh, man.

SPEAKER_04: 8:51

So being where we are right now, yeah, rent cheap, the views is nice, ain't gotta worry about no gunshots. You get the occasional police sirens, but they ain't coming after us. Type shit, type shit. Like you can make your money and save your money at the same time. Like, you know, every place got their slum lord, of course, but shit, you can still get your paper out here. Exactly. That's the main goal.

SPEAKER_03: 9:15

And then you ain't gotta go your shoulder, none of that there, you know? None of that. On the red, yeah. Bro. Hey, hey, but see, you know something though? You also be guilty by association. Because I caught my first ticket like that up here. And I got one every motherfucking month. I'm talking about on the 30th, they slap the fuck out of the back. Bow, here you go. We knew what you like to do, buddy. Exactly. Tickets. So, so I can my license, I have to wait like an extra five years to get them. I ain't pay none of them off. See, I didn't know that um they so-called tickets, it'd be aspiring.

unknown: 9:53

SPEAKER_04: 9:57

Oh, yeah, it's stuck. Yeah, it's stuck. Oh, that's how California's.

SPEAKER_03: 9:59

Uh yeah, up here. After a couple of years, that shit it'd be over with. Yeah. I'd be like, damn, that's sweet, so I ain't gonna have nothing. Stretching collection. Right. Why should I gotta pay?

SPEAKER_05: 10:08

Oh, it ain't going to collection. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 10:11

It won't even go to collection. No, it'll they don't even go to collect. I remember, yeah, because I got locked up one time. They let me out. I had my fines, and I had a ticket. It's like, no ticket.

SPEAKER_03: 10:24

They'll come get no fines. Well, I'm talking about traffic tickets. Right. They throw shots one and cut nine side of ten. They know the cop might be bullish. How in the hell can a person get a ticket at the end of the month? 12 months straight.

unknown: 10:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 10:37

That's me. The judge, like, I'm like, Yah. You being targeted at this point. Exactly, you know. They they already they don't fuck they don't fuck with me for nothing else. Nothing else. But when it comes to driving, I'm glad I got my L.

SPEAKER_04: 10:51

I be reptile with it too. I mean, shit, they been messing with you for how long? So it might as well be a little reckless.

SPEAKER_03: 10:58

Yeah, you know. I said I wasn't, but shit, you know, when I go I got the patron, yeah, I be, hey, hey, I've been in another world. I be laid back. For real. And then you'll fuck with me though. Like, like, are you for real, dude? On real. They called me dead boy before, but you know, what you do is how you do it.

SPEAKER_04: 11:18

Hey, exactly.

SPEAKER_03: 11:19

You know?

SPEAKER_04: 11:20

Hey, we live and we learn. That's how it is, that's how it's supposed to be.

SPEAKER_03: 11:23

Yeah. So, right let me ask you a question as far as uh the MLB label. Um, like, now I've been in a couple of y'all videos, you know. You know, I don't rap, you know what I'm saying? So I just be hey, y'all call me on there. I mean, I mean, what do it take for that coordination to like uh uh uh exist? It's you, corn a genius, better known as corn, and uh and make the talk. So um like y'all have a video shoot. Now how many times have y'all actually like did the song together?

SPEAKER_04: 11:58

So a couple of the songs that we did, like Versace, right, uh we did that one about like last year, I think. Uh we was inside my garage doing that. So it was like it's been chemistry ever since. Like we have we all came together, like even though we from different backgrounds and different demographics, we all like we just messed together. It's like that real recognized real taste. It's like yeah, it's like it's like supposed to happen type of energy. Exactly. So it's like we feed off of each other, like how it's like we don't see like it's like healthy competition. You know what I'm saying? True. So it's like like as major would say, like, you know, sword sharpened the sword or iron sharpens the sword. Yep, that part. Like yeah. So it's like when we inside the booth, it took about a couple takes for like each verse. It's like sometimes when we hear that beat, we can knock it out in one take. Yeah, yeah. I remember one time we had a nice fire one, and I was like, and that was the don't push me song.

SPEAKER_03: 12:59

You know what I'm saying? So yeah, I feel like that. But um, like at the same time though, you know, I look like now I'm gonna take some practice. It gotta take the rehearsal, you know what I'm saying? So uh it can be you know what I'm saying, coordinated right, but like you said, y'all had chemistry already, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 13:20

And majority of the time, like we we practicing Yeah, that's better. All right, bet. But um sometimes, well not sometimes, but majority of the time we practicing our verses while the others is at the booth. Right. Like we'll practice our verse, we'll throw the beat on, right, and we'll go do like maybe like maybe three to five at the max. Okay, bet, bet, bet. And then when we feel like we really got it, we pick the order. Whoever's comfortable going first, right? Go first.

SPEAKER_03: 13:56

I feel that, I feel that. I like that though. I'm comfortable anywhere. Hey, you know something though? Y'all got a song that y'all ain't did yet, but y'all let me hear it. Standing on business. Yeah. Man, that song, hey, I need that one.

SPEAKER_04: 14:11

Man, so there's a bit of an issue with the beat when it comes to standing on business. So somebody else recorded a song with that. Oh, okay, man. Yeah. So it's like we don't know what the situation is with the producer of that beat. So we don't know if they already got it, purchased it and whatnot. So when we was recording, right? When we was recording, it was just like, shit, we gotta get this out before we forget it. So it's like, even if we don't have that beat, we can find something that can go with it. Okay. And when we first recorded the standing on business song, I was fresh, like wet behind the ears, behind the microphone. So I wasn't even comfortable as a hood, like I am now. Yeah, so the guy. Oh man, that motherfucker. Hey, that hey, that motherfucker.

SPEAKER_03: 14:59

I ain't gonna lie to you. You see me on there. Uh-huh. I'm like, man, y'all gotta put this out. Like for real. Real, for real. This is stuck when it's up if you fuck with the team. Yeah. Hey, so uh they said, well, no, I've seen you do imitation. Go on the one on it for me. So you got hopes?

SPEAKER_00: 15:17

Hey, be what's stuck, man? I just want y'all to know that uh my man's bad. He got the good job.

SPEAKER_04: 15:25

And then you got the one in the yoli, the dog. You know it's my man girl. Hey. Hey, what do you what is it?

SPEAKER_03: 15:33

What you bitches won't from a nigga?

SPEAKER_04: 15:34

What you bitches won from a nigga?

SPEAKER_03: 15:38

Yeah, for real. Type shit, type shit.

SPEAKER_05: 15:40

Like freaking sweet. This is nice. I I like your podcast, Bappy. You know, you're a real nice guy.

SPEAKER_03: 15:45

You know, what swell. Hey, thanks. I appreciate that. Much love, much love, much love. You know, that's crazy though. Yeah. Hey, Bernaldo, um, like I told you earlier, we talked earlier, I said that my podcast can be different, you know what I'm saying? Instead of just being a monologue and me asking questions, I want to make it a dialogue and like what I'm saying, and you know, like have a conversation. And I said, you know, now I know you're from Chicago. I mean, I know you're from California. Yeah. And I'm from Chicago. So is there anything that you might want to know about Chicago?

SPEAKER_04: 16:16

So, like, between Chi Town and Cali, like, you know, you know, we both different areas, you know, Midwest and the West Coast. Right. Damn near similar. So it's like, so what was your experience like, you know, out there in the land, you know, just out here in general?

SPEAKER_03: 16:35

Man, in Chicago. Yeah. It's a song I you know, like I don't say you know what I'll be at work right if this one song come on. Ain't nothing like Chicago. Ain't nothing like Chicago. And and real talk though, you know, we got the food, yeah. We got the skylines, we that everything, you know. We got the people that's on the game bangers, you know, we we we got all that there. Right. But see, one thing about being in Chicago is, you know what I'm saying, you gotta have that vibe, that feeling. You know, like me personally, I grew up there. Right. I had the vibe, the feeling, the know all what to do, what not to do. And in Chicago, you really need that. For real. No bullshit. I mean, like, when when when um Chicago, people say, watch out for them. They they uh they grind. No, see, one thing about Chicago, it ain't what you know, it's who you know. Exactly. You know, so I know people on all sides of the field. Like it be and me, you know what I'm saying? So it's just like it should happen. Okay. People get money, it is what it is. I got people that got restaurants who I fuck with heavy. I got people that's uh um they doing comedy. I say his name all the time, Big Blowdown. Y'all see them on TikTok. Yeah. Him and Uncle Hank. Doc Marcelli in the joint, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, so like I can wish I get up there, you know what I'm saying? So like men really can get together. It's good. I talk to them and everything, but you know, I mean, it is what it is though.

SPEAKER_04: 18:01

It's good that we're doing something outside of what they assume that we'll be doing on a day basis. Exactly. So for like, you know, a person like myself who ain't been out there, or like even the tourists, what are some places to go and some what are some places that they shouldn't go?

SPEAKER_03: 18:17

Okay, real though. You know, to me, right now, no, at first, right, it was uh you couldn't really go up north. You know what I'm saying? But now, I'm I mean, I see that back. It's like you really couldn't um like when from the south side from the low end. You can't go there really. Out south, you can't go there. Over east, you can't go there.

unknown: 18:39

Damn.

SPEAKER_03: 18:39

Even out west, you really can't go there. You know what I'm saying? If you do, you gotta go in the store and come back out or or or right, you need to like get some gas. That's in all areas. Because motherfuckers look at you cock added. You know what I'm saying? So so it does like, nah, I say like I'll use you. You cut. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and look at people who they know ain't cut. Just like how they got undercovers trying to act like one of us. Like, come on, dude, you ain't even built like us. You know what I'm saying? Like for real.

SPEAKER_04: 19:08

Like, you look suspect. For real, for real. Like, oh yeah, that nigga he looked like he did some shit for hey, you need some of that grass, nigga?

SPEAKER_03: 19:17

Yeah, definitely that nigga. And also you just said the wrong thing. See, you look, we don't say grass. See, I don't either grass. So we tree or either or either smooth. Yeah. When you say the wrong word, that makes an eyeball. I intend to pop up. Oh, you where's the marijuana spray?

SPEAKER_05: 19:36

And then uh uh see the buddy grass. Right, right. You got the flower? Hey, my buddy around the way he said Tyrone has a gut stuff.

SPEAKER_03: 19:49

Hey, look, that's crazy, you know. And one thing, let me explain to y'all who's listening. We don't call people by their government name. That's against the law. Because then you snitch it in real life. Big time. That's one thing about Chicago. You know, we had now how you be called. I've been called that 30 years. You think I'm gonna change my name? I don't know. You know, like come on now. Oh hey, I'm back. You know, but like for real. I dated all that shit stuff going by my name. Right. Oh, anything.

SPEAKER_04: 20:20

They say you a gang member? Yeah, what's your name, Ortiz?

SPEAKER_03: 20:23

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's just like real talk though. Uh for real. Like, like uh when it's like when the cops call you by your name, they know you by your government name. Man, so right, so so right, why would you want to know my government name? And to me, that's like I'm thinking different to the police. You know what I'm saying? Cause anybody can get jammed up. For real. If you're not family, close, close friend, like childhood friend, where you know, like, man, I don't feel comfortable calling you that man, I'm gonna call you by your real name. Like, I can't. Like, hey, well, see, I can't say that because I got brothers and guys who are family that ain't my family. You feel me? Yes, like they ain't blood, you know what I'm saying? But I can chilly, oh man, you know what I'm saying? Lando straw.

SPEAKER_04: 21:06

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 21:06

You know what I'm saying? Mo, you know what I'm saying? And where I'm from, we got we got five different sets. I'm from 24th, you got 23rd, now look, now look, you um might know Montana. April 22nd, I got H Town, and and then I got ACs. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So, so right, it's like we family. You know what I'm saying? We might go against each other, but at the same time though, it shit come, it's just like if mother comes out and try to pull a stun on up on it, we all is one.

SPEAKER_06: 21:37

For real, for real.

SPEAKER_03: 21:37

And and that's us, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and that's the low end. That's why they said y'all would say, Yeah. Y'all would say, how can y'all say low end? Because that's where I'm from. That's where we are. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean, like for real. I mean, I'm not never disrespect the low end.

SPEAKER_04: 21:51

I mean, that's how it's supposed to be when it comes to this gang culture, but that's how I honestly feel like like somewhere along the lines, like the purpose of, you know, this banging shit got deterred. Right. Because like when I was gang banging, it's like I had my big bros and shit like that. And it's like they was like wasn't really seeing eye to eye with the OGs. I'm like, nigga, why why why was going on? And then when you figure out shit, you like, mmm, right. Okay. But now, like before I left, type shit, I don't know, they was like working on unifying some shit. So it's like we already like on like a cool basis. I know most of the bloods out there, you know, but sometimes, you know, these do happen, type shit. But the niggas that really held me up that was like really right there was my nigga face, my nigga K raise, my nigga Kirby. Shit, no disrespect to any disciples, but my nigga DK. Like he was around too, type shit. Because, you know. Like it's like no disrespect to anybody out there, like those are disciplined government. You know what I'm saying? So it's like no disciple, nothing. I'll show love, right? It's just you know, anybody come over tripping, we already know what we gotta do. So that's a troop, that's how I'm supposed to say, right? But it's like we got to the point where it's like we beefing with each other when we should be unifying, and we should be making this money together. Like, nigga, if we saying this is our block, then why not put the money together and buy it back?

SPEAKER_03: 23:18

Right. This is our you know something dope. I didn't comment on that. That's like my area, the icky, that's where I'm from. 24th, 22nd, 23rd. It'd be 23rd, 22nd, or 24th. It'll make a difference. Right. But we the same way though, you know. We break up about who getting the most money. I I for real. Money. We was on that. We were we were beefing on who gets the most money, beefing over itches, you know what I'm saying, and and a and a lot of shit happened, you know what I'm saying? But it's crazy how you say that like we supposed to be together, and that's true. And at the same time, even with the crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And at the same time, just like um, you know, that do that. But as I got older though, and this I started venturing out, you know. I got family that live around white lords. So, um, and and and that's A Block. That's Albany. No Bush, that's Albany. So uh they got a lot of love for your boy. You know what I'm saying? So uh at the same time though, you know, and and then like I told my people, you know, outside on low end. Nigga, they got my people, I got them. For real. If I need you, you know what I'm saying? Take my people and that's where I got your back. You know what I'm saying? So one day, I'm outside uh smoking, you know what I'm saying? I'm wake up, I'm gonna blunt. Breed come down that bitch, the the breed, new breed, add that bitch out.

SPEAKER_05: 24:47

SPEAKER_03: 24:51

So then, you know, like the the motherfucker Elite came to. And that's my boy. Yeah. Elite robbed. That's why he came to us. You know what I'm saying? Went over there with him. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm showing him, you know, like uh you got my back and and my back is my family. Yeah. That's how it's supposed to be. And then I got yours. And with me, other shit come with it. You know what I'm saying? Because because I can clap my hand. You know what I'm saying? So so part of that life. So so right, it's like, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like the point I'm getting to is that uh it ain't got to be yours to be, I'm saying like to be family, or you like to um coincide. Because I can be out south and I got into it with somebody and I call somebody out west, and out west is where all the vice was at. You know, like that's like I see out here, it ain't what you know is who you know. Right. You know, and a lot of people don't understand that. They don't, you know, how the guy don't. They don't understand that like it ain't what you know is who you know. I can clap my hands like a genie.

SPEAKER_04: 25:59

Yeah, you know, hey, why just get it, man, young sir?

SPEAKER_03: 26:06

Yeah, man. I mean, and then and then I'd be and then I'd be on station somewhere, three o'clock in the morning, you know. Yeah, six wings, mild sauce, and lemon pepper. That's just what the taco shops back on. Yeah, hey, on anything. I mean, I mean, and one thing about here that's funny that you know people know me, but they don't know me. Right. You know, it I mean, I'm glad they see me as a certain way. And because I don't want to show that side of me, you know. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04: 26:39

Like, I was known for the nigga who played calm, like I didn't play calm, I was chill. Right, like even to this day, like since you let me, I'll be a chill nigga. But until you rub me the wrong way, right, you're gonna see the other side of the game. Right. And like, it's just best to leave that nigga alone, you know what I'm saying? You know what's funny, though, man? A lot of motherfuckers think that's a game.

SPEAKER_05: 26:59

It really not, bro. You know what I'm saying? Both of them actually came.

SPEAKER_03: 27:02

Hold on, dude, you don't know me from athletes. For real. I mean, like, you it's uh it's just like you perceive me to be this dude here. For real. Dude, I would man, I'm talking about I'm talking about I'm talking about this no bullshit, man. Uh I mean, it's just like when I swing is over with. For real. You know what I'm saying? And one thing we all see. Yeah, yeah. And then look, I'm about myself though. I'm talking about he got ten guys. I mean, uh, between seven and ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, between seven and ten. Yeah. Talking. I ain't backing down. I say, first of all, I'm not from here. You know what I'm saying? And then you mother don't know what I'm capable of doing. Exactly. Because you know how it's something to call it all the time. I mean, I mean not nothing deadly like that though, but a motherfucker know I mean business. Yeah, you know. But that's that that just that um Chicago enemy.

SPEAKER_04: 27:59

Yeah, I mean you feel me. I mean, when like a motherfucker can only take so much when you push him so far, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So it's like when you tell a motherfucker the first time and it ain't got the common sense to catch on, right? Anything after that, nigga, that's on you. True. Because it's like I gave you a fair warning, so now I gotta show you that I was serious about what I meant. Yeah. Because at this point you think I'm a bitch or something, or that I don't mean what I say.

SPEAKER_05: 28:23

I said I mean then, like Scarface says, Oh my gosh, there's my balls on my word, and I don't break them. Fucking money, come. Hey, look, they didn't catch that.

SPEAKER_04: 28:32

That went right over the head. Right over the head. And what that means is as a man, all I got is my balls. Exactly. So therefore, what I was born with is what I'm gonna die with. And the next is my word. It's the first thing that I had when I came into existence. So therefore, I can't go against anything that's pretty much what came out of my motherfucking mouth and what came up out of my essence. And if I break that, if I go against that, I'm a fucking coward.

SPEAKER_03: 28:56

Exactly. And then in our terms, it's it's real short. It's a I'd rather be carried by six than judge by twelve. And I'm and then I stand on my word, because my word is all I got. That just means simple. That's real talk. And you gotta stay true to what you say and true to what you do. Exactly. And and and both of them understand that. And then they see I don't get mad, I laugh now. Because if I keep losing my temper, you know, because of what mother said.

unknown: 29:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 29:29

These just lose them up right now. So I ain't with none of that there. I just laugh it off. You know?

SPEAKER_04: 29:34

I I've noticed, bro, a lot of people, they're really tough over the internet. They're real tough over the phone and do text messages. But when you really present them with the energy, like, so look, you you want to back up what you were saying? Right. Like, you you trying to do that? What's poppin'?

SPEAKER_05: 29:49

And they're like, Oh no, no, bro. It was it was just a joke, man. I didn't really mean it. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03: 29:56

This is like you really want to be, I'm it's like you really want to do this here. And it's always the old lady that's stopping the situation. See, you aren't doing that when he was on the phone saying that there, but at the same time though, and you know I am, because I can go chill with a honey up in two seconds. You know what I'm saying? And then I'm I'm never I'm not scared, nervous or none of that shit there. But um, let's get off that, you know what I'm saying? We'll go on forever about that, man. Hey, uh, but um, okay, in five years. Five years. Yeah, five years. Where do you want to see yourself at?

He'll probably be like around nineteen. And then his brother will probably be like around 2021. And by this time, I will hope that I'm successful in everything that I do. Okay. Uh I believe that I'll be touching money like a motherfucker. Music taking off like a motherfucker. True. The business uh called Mellow Earth Remedies. I'll have ownership of that, you know, because me and my kids, mom, we made that together. So we're gonna make money off of that, you know, healing people because everybody needs some healing, you know what I'm saying? Just because I'm a thug doesn't mean uh I don't know how to heal my people. Hey, you know something?

So it's just like when I done built, uh uh uh a notch came off, I gotta put that notch back there and keep building up over again. You feel me? Yep, I feel you. Yeah. So I feel like in five years, you know, this is like me. I gotta outlook. See, one of them I crossed off though, because that family tired shit, that shit for the birds. No disrespect to y'all women out there, but real talk, y'all ain't ready yet. For real, for real. You know, and then uh far money-wise, that's a whole business topic right there. You know what I'm saying? Like, for real. I mean, that's why I started shit. I'm gonna be an entrepreneur, you know. So I be able to uh uh do me. Like I got people subscribing, I just been locking because I focus up on something else. But at the same time, I know that that focus has it's left field somewhere. I'm able to do me now.

I ate Harold's though, you know what I'm saying? Because I was tired of driving. But at the same time, though, it's like we got all the food spots, and it's kind of at that moment you gotta know what you want to eat. For real. You know what I'm saying? We got right the pizza.

But back when I'm here, I think about it. I wouldn't mind having them up in Gairo right now. I wouldn't mind, you know what I'm saying? So Chicago, we got all the food.

SPEAKER_04: 45:20

You gotta go OT in Southeast San Diego to get to food like that type shit. I'm I'm so honest. For real? Yeah, like certain places that we may have like a little like we had some Imperial Like they used to have places called Chicken Shop. Right. And they they made some of the best fried chicken ever, bro. And then they had this place uh called the taste. It was up in Kanto. That's how they said they go to the taco shop and uh a Mexican bacon right there, and they had a fish that was Imperial Fish Market or some fish house. Some fish houses over there in Kanto. Right there over there in the comparison. So over there, like you pick your fish, it's raw, whatever they cook it for you. What else you want? Okay, we had a few barbecue spots, yeah, but they kind of went out of business. Barbecue went for real? Yeah, they did. I think you still have one in Lemon Global. That's crazy. And then if you want soul food, the best place that I've ever went to in Southeast San Diego is Bonnie Jean Soul Food.

SPEAKER_03: 46:34

Uh Leon, man, Leon, I'm talking about we got some mean barbecue joints. But see, I like my ribs plain now, you know. You might have a slab of ribs and it and some fries. Put fries on my um, I mean, put the um sauce on my fries to leave my rib tips plain, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 47:09

Shit, man. I I I'm married when they ate my meat now.

SPEAKER_03: 47:12

Yeah. Oh, oh, you you know, you know, I get out on the way.

SPEAKER_04: 47:15

See, see, uh, uh, I ain't cooking it myself sometimes, but yeah, you first go.

SPEAKER_03: 47:20

Yeah. Um, no, I mean, I it's just like I'm tired of barbecue now. You know what I'm saying? I put it on there sometime. I like to have my shit plain, you know, like first off the muffin grill. No, I got a technique though to have that shit come off the bone on that thing. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 47:37

That's how I feel like. Yeah. I remember one time I was standing with my cousin corner, even though we not cool, everybody still fuck with you because you my cousin. So we was barbecuing one day. And she was like, Martisse, we ain't got no marinade. Like, what am I gonna do? Like, we know we trying to barbecue. I was like, alright, let me just figure some shit out and I'll make it happen. So majority of the time, they make uh all these rubs and whatnot. And so she didn't really have much for spices. So I was just like, okay, we got maple sugar, we got some liquid smoke, okay, we got some cayenne, chili, you know, disabled seasoning. My nigga, I must marinate them motherfucking ribs, bro. I must marinate them bitches for a cool minute than threw them bitches on the grill. I don't think I can ever remake them motherfucking ribs ever again, bro. Oh my mama. Hey.

SPEAKER_03: 48:34

Right, right, right, right, right, right. I feel that. Real talk, I feel that. I feel that one. I mean, I made some that the bone came out of. And I said, I'd never do that again. But see, you know, like when I do mine, I merely mine, I let mine sit overnight. You know, so right, so right, um, like my rub, they can they can soak into the meat. Yeah. Like my jerk chicken. I do mine the day before, so it wouldn't get into the meat. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I don't understand people that don't say they eat jerk pool. You don't you very suddenly find jerk chicken that's not spicy. For real.

SPEAKER_04: 49:19

And there's some people that like in my own, you know, they can't really handle the scotch button or even the hotel pepper.

SPEAKER_03: 49:24

And then, you know, it's just like I don't even I don't even I don't even hit it like that, but you know, they like it though.

SPEAKER_04: 49:31

One or two or two.

SPEAKER_03: 49:32

SPEAKER_04: 49:59

The rivalries and everything like that, you know, between the Lakers, the Bulls when they played and whatnot, or even just the Bulls just going off to the championship and the playoffs.

SPEAKER_03: 50:18

Right. It's like even though they tried to uh post like you know the ghettos and shit like that, and all the stuff that's like fucked up and like you know, our communities and stuff like that, they every place got a beautiful spot that you can look at and go to. And that's the places I want to be at too. Like, I don't mind being in other places as well because I'm comfortable there too.

SPEAKER_03: 50:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 50:46

But I'm also comfortable with other places as well.

SPEAKER_03: 50:48

Okay. So hey, look, though, you know what tripped me out though? You you're right, they do always try to show the bad. People say the ghetto of Chicago. Real talk, that part makes Chicago. That part draws attention. That place there, I mean, okay, we got the the high rises, the the skylines and everything. But a lot of people don't they come there for that, but they come for the they come for what they hear. You know what I'm saying? They it's just like they'll come there and just go around that place. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so so right, so right. It's just like when right I go to the crib, right, and uh I go O Block. Don't go in there. Come on, dude, I'm from here. You know what I'm saying? So why wouldn't I? I mean, I mean, see, you go up what you hear on TV, you know what I'm saying? I'm the person that lived that life. I'm the person that was on the streets. You know what I'm saying? Even though I don't know them, I I have people that stay down there. So right, I gotta go see them. Right. You know, and I'm from the low end, so and and and then if it's like I always wonder why they changed that name to Old Block when right. It was state I mean, I mean, I mean it was Parkway. You know, but it is what it is though, you know. But when they Chicago, when they say that the the people, the people come out word of mouth. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04: 52:15

Then somebody like pass away, I think, and then they just named it like after him type shit.

SPEAKER_03: 52:19

Who Chicago?

SPEAKER_04: 52:20

Yeah, if like for O Block type shit.

SPEAKER_03: 52:22

No, uh no, no, no, no, I don't know that story though. I really don't. Neither do I. You know what I'm saying? It's just that um it's kind of crazy that, you know, Vaughn put that motherfucker on. You know what I'm saying? And I guess it was that then, you know, but I never heard how they became O Block. Right. Because I because O Block is on C thirty um and King Drive over down the 65th.

unknown: 52:47

Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_03: 52:48

And um I had people stand around the corner from them, and then they was in City Two. What it was I think it was City Two 33, Kyonette. And that's like five minutes from O Block. You can see it, you know? Right, it's right there. And all them BDs. So right, I was around them. You know what I'm saying? So uh it was parked within. I go to the joint. Everything turned around, you know. But hey, hey, that's family. You know, that's family. I don't care what nobody say. That's family. And see, even though they be the I grew up as a as a GD, right? Right. I mean, I'm I mean, I went off my laws and policy. Right. Like for real, for real. I mean, I believe it, I believe what the old men say. You know what I'm saying? We all just want. You feel what I'm saying? I was just about to say we all just want. I mean, and it's funny that the streets don't act like that. But in prison we do. Like for real. Yeah, we I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, like for real. Like, I mean, they're the front of the line, yeah. Neutron's in the middle, GDs in the back. Like, I'm I mean, like, you know what I'm saying? But no, I see that back. BDs and GDs in the back, right? Um the uh pinball got the front.

unknown: 54:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 54:06

So uh it's just like that's kind of crazy though, but these is a motherfucker. It is, bro. They don't care. And and and I find it kind of funny, you know, that you know, a motherfucker go inside. They had to be a um like appliance. I hear they'd be bug wow. Inside they ain't going, you know what I'm saying? Man, let your ass down.

SPEAKER_04: 54:29

Man, they'll get some act right inside there, and like they don't know what that act right really is. Yeah, they thinking they can do whatever, but not realizing like you ain't got your people out here. Exactly, you know. It's like as soon as you behind them four walls, nigga, whoever's the shot caller got to say so on your life. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03: 54:48

And and then, you know, and then you know, like uh when right we've been there, right? I mean, we show love, make sure you got all your hygienes and everything. So, you know, it's just like shit, you smoke, you know what I'm saying? We got squares. But now though, let's see, I left in what uh 2015. That shit did, you know what I'm saying? And then that's off a stretch. So ain't no more squares, so I know for sure when they come in because that's not gonna never change. You know what I'm saying? How things ran inside, no matter who's going on the ground or whatever, you know. That's gonna stay the same. So so so so right. I'm up gonna make sure you got what you need. Yeah. To start off. That's how it's supposed to be. Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. That's how it is, you know. Yeah, that's but yeah, that's what you're calling life though.

SPEAKER_04: 55:37

Like just being the logical nigga that I am, you know what I'm saying, bro. It's like I would assume that you know a disciple is a disciple, you know. No, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, it's like at one point in time, like it was unified until everything is the way that it is now.

SPEAKER_03: 55:54

Yeah, but see, you know something though. Okay, we got the GDs and the BDs. Yeah. BDs ain't different from the G D. And they disciples too. You know? I fucking bought hey, hey, my first cud. You know what I'm saying? So it is what it is though, but it's just like like I said, on the street, it wouldn't have been like that war, you know what I'm saying, between O Block and and the um, I don't know what the name but saying, but I mean most of the has like different mentalities, you know. So so I mean, it's kind of crazy, but you know, I blame I blame these politicians. If you wouldn't if they would have never locked up the old heads, you know what I'm saying? The chairman, the man, you know what I'm saying? The ones keeping everything in line. Yeah, I mean, like, for real. I mean, like, like when you got rid of him, you got rid of everybody and just like all hell broke loose. Yeah, it was a part of the agenda, but then they won't never admit it. You know, but it takes people like me and other motherfuckers who seen the fall. You know what I'm saying? Because you was around that. They had a saying, cut the head off the snake, everything would die. They cut the head off and on on my life. If you notice it didn't die, I'm up with the devil woke up because that's when all the killing came from. Mm-hmm. And they never admit it. Different factions. Yeah, different. You know what I'm saying? I'm not sure. No, no, no, I wanna say different factions. These motherfuckers were clicking up. Oh, yeah, well that. Yeah, these I'm I'm like, I'm and and then and then you know, it's a lot of envy. Mm-hmm. It's a lot of greed. I mean, I'm I'm I mean like then that causes hatred. It does. You know, it'd be motherfuckers who never been in jail, you know what I'm saying, on their shit. And you got motherfuckers who hating on them, you know what I'm saying, trying to give what they got. And I always try to teach a motherfucker, I'm I mean, I mean, don't hate him. Get like him. He works hard for what he got, you know what I'm saying? Learn. I was saying, look, you do the same thing, and then that's in the laws. Yeah. You know, like like for real. And uh a lot of people get mad at him for doing positive things. And the white people got mad at him. He doing a lot of positive shit.

SPEAKER_04: 58:11

SPEAKER_04: 58:36

Especially like because it's like a lot of the shit that people have gone through, bro, or it's going through or doing, is because of unhealed trauma and shit, bro. Yeah. Like it's it's because of like unhealed and unspoken about situations and shit like that. So it's like, you know, you got females out here setting up niggas and shit like that, lying on niggas, and you got females lying about, you know, getting G-word, you know, getting R word and whatnot. So it's like you got so many things going on and then you got whatever goes on inside the household. So whatever's being taught to these people, you know, what is being shown to them is why they're going the way that they're going. Okay. And so it's like if they're not able to have the proper um just a proper outlet or healthy communication skills or healthy support group around them, yeah, they're gonna they're gonna go another route that they're going. Like, you know, that because we're not gonna talk about them females that was forcing females to go gay and shit like that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, we ain't gonna speak about that though. I'm just saying.
