SPEAKER_04

Why do you say it like that?

SPEAKER_07

You're gonna tell you the story of Jesus. No, you're not gonna switch the goalpost, brother. Break it break down Easter for us, the story of Jesus in the manger. Okay, little baby Jesus. That's Christmas. That's what that's Christmas. So he wasn't in the manger in the year. That's Christmas, he was in the manger. Oh he he oh, my bad. Easter is the resurrection. Easter is when he died for our sins. Easter when he when he got on the cross, right? And then crucified him. And then he rose three days later. You know that? I'm saying tell us the story, brother. That's it. I mean, uh you want me to get into the Bible to the whole thing. He rose how many days later? Three days later. Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday. And this is why we celebrate Easter. Yes. And in the hood, we known to celebrate Easter to get fresh. For us is a it's a whole different type of meaning, but it starts with going to church with your Easter suit on.

SPEAKER_06

Who started that? Who started that you had to get dressed? I had to get fresh? Did it start? Did it come from church and kind of transition to the streets?

SPEAKER_10

It was suits from a little kid. I had to get suited to it. I mean, but you know, suited up.

SPEAKER_04

But back in the 70s, remember suits was a thing to wear to church and after church. They still had, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07

So I'm feeling like that was probably the fly, you wear your fly suit in the 70s, and then you wear it outside afterwards is like, and I think it just like that in other cities.

SPEAKER_06

I only really experienced it really in New York. I've never really been nowhere and seen people getting hyped to get fresh on Easter and other cities.

SPEAKER_07

Easter fly is a thing in in all cities. Yeah. But I do they still do it? I feel like it's over. Like kids don't give fly. Yeah, I don't think they go. I don't think they're not going to be able to get it. Remember, we used to go to the car show. We used to go to the car. My kids have never actually like, yo, I want to get something. It's different because everything is on the phone now. Remember, we used to go to it was destinations for us to go to on Easter. Get fresh, then we go to the car show, Jacob Javis Center and shit like that. Everybody meet down near. Like, we used to go to Brooklyn, used to go to Coney Island. Coney Island was a big uh for us. It was Jacob Javis. So the kids not doing this no more. I don't I don't know if they get fresh on Easter no more. I don't think it's like that. Easter ain't what it was. My son ain't asked me about Easter outfit. Easter was pressure because if you didn't have something fresh on for Easter, it's a problem. I cried.

SPEAKER_04

I just told somebody the other day I cried. I didn't get the joys you had the joys you had on um last week.

SPEAKER_07

I cried, I didn't get those on Easter. It's a problem, bro.

SPEAKER_06

I stayed in the house one Easter. The fit wasn't fitting. Nah, because it was crucial.

SPEAKER_04

You couldn't come out with nothing over Easter.

SPEAKER_07

Damn, it's fucked up. People waiting to see how you come from. That's a fact. And the Jordan's used to drop every Easter.

SPEAKER_04

Every Easter Jordan. Jordan is around that. The new color Jordan used to drop every Easter.

SPEAKER_07

Usually the black pair dropped around Easter or the new or a whole new color wave. You know, that's crazy. The purple or aqua blue shits dropped on Easter, the ones you had on. I don't think that that's even a thing no more. Like for brands, I don't think it is releasing on Easter. Like I think the whole marketing around clothes Easter is done.

SPEAKER_06

It is. I don't think so either. I've never heard my kids at any form ask me for Easter clothes or to get fresh or to go somewhere for Easter. None of that.

SPEAKER_07

We don't even hear that no more.

SPEAKER_04

Has it been done for a while?

SPEAKER_06

I think it might be done. Have we not noticed? It's been done and we just it's kind of like just smoothly, just died out.

SPEAKER_04

It's usually me buying him Easter outfits when he was coming up. Not really asking you about it. Nah, that's what I'm thinking about it. It was Easter.

SPEAKER_06

Once you think like an age where he would ask you for something, I don't remember my son asking me for anything for Easter night.

SPEAKER_07

But I think you're right. A lot of it got to do with I'm still getting fresh on Easter. Fuck that.

SPEAKER_10

We as parents, because we from that generation. We're gonna fresh. That ain't on their mind. This Sunday I get fresh.

SPEAKER_06

They ain't never even asked you for the Easter forces, kicks, nothing. Like these was the Easter, the Easter forces like.

SPEAKER_07

Niggas plotting on Easter since the new year. Like, yo, Easter about to come around. I gotta make sure my shit is together, bro. Easter, but nowadays Easter comes around. It's like, damn, today, Easter, tomorrow, Easter. Nobody's talking about it. Nobody, like, we don't even think about it. Easter was a big thing. Egg hunts, the rabbits, the the baskets, everything.

SPEAKER_06

Niggas did a lot of shit on Easter, bro. My my dude uh Jock out of Cleveland, he does a big Easter egg hunt at his crib for like all his family and kids and like the kids in the neighborhood and stuff like that. He still does that for them. Like, so you can still have fun on the on the, you know, like Easter egg hunt type of vibe and have that like connection. But I don't think like what we saying, the clothes and the going places, and we used to go to the movies on Easter, we used to go to 42nd Street on Easter. It was a thing, all kind of stuff. It was a thing.

SPEAKER_04

The whole block, the whole block is going somewhere on Easter.

SPEAKER_07

Everybody has everybody still got them pictures. Easter clothes. Definitely. It was a thing, bruh. And you at least had to have new sneakers. If you couldn't get the whole fit, just you had to have the new sneakers, the new sneakers that talk about. Coney Island on Easter was oh nuts. Crazy. Crazy. Like crazy. I'm fucking lines, mobs, and people like a lit club. That's how Coney Island. That's how Jacob Javis used to be outside that shit.

SPEAKER_04

Thousands of kids outside that shit back in the days in the 90s, 91, 92, 93. Crazy.

SPEAKER_07

Let me tell you something real quick. I used to treat my beard like it was just here. Like, you know, use the same shampoo, I use my face, the same shampoo, I used in the shower, you know, all that. The whole time I really wasn't. That's crazy, right?

SPEAKER_06

Nah, that's a fact. Dudes be thinking that one product just do everything.

SPEAKER_07

Exactly. I had to unline that too. I'm just thinking more product, more washing, and that's the move. Whole time I'm just stripping everything. No growth, no fullness, just a straight vibe and frustration.

SPEAKER_10

And that's the worst part. When you're doing everything people say and still not getting the results. Soon as I switched up and started using stuff made for textured hair, different story.

SPEAKER_07

Softer, fuller, just healthier overall. That's why I rock with Baskin Lather. They actually make products for how our hair really grows. Not that one size fits all stuff, you know?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, and their beard grow magic, man, that joint different. It got nutrients in it, it keeps your beard soft, helps with dryness. You actually see the difference.

SPEAKER_07

I like the starter kit joint too. The men's healthy hair and beard joint, it's everything in one. Shampoo conditioner, bomb, oil, basket leather, got you right. You ain't gotta guess no more.

SPEAKER_10

And it's real ingredients, too. Not no watered down stuff. You can tell it's made with intention.

SPEAKER_07

And you know, plus, right? I respect the story that's behind it. Black owned, family operated, started from really trying to solve a problem in their own family. So now it's helping all of my brothers, you know?

SPEAKER_06

I seen some of them before and afters too. Nah, that's some real results, man. You can't fake that.

SPEAKER_07

See, that's what, but you said it, right? So if they in an era where it's all cyber, right, they they all on the phones or on the computer. It's not a thing, they not going nowhere. So these kids not even though they're not gonna be able to do that. I don't think no holiday hit.

SPEAKER_10

Christmas don't hit when you was a when you was your like don't hit. Like for me, like for me, holidays kind of changed for me when I took my shahada. You know what I mean? Like once I became Muslim, I didn't I just stopped celebrating a bunch of different holidays. But I got children. So I don't want to not do that for that. You know what I mean? Like, but it still don't Christmas ain't what Christmas was. Like Easter, none of that's what it was when you was thirst for that holiday to come. Like, oh nah, you used to look forward to Easter, look forward for certain holidays.

SPEAKER_07

Like, I I feel like it don't hit the same. You know what's different every year, and I just be like looking around, going, damn, y'all don't remember this? And and the people from, you know, they be like, nah, Halloween.

SPEAKER_06

Halloween lit again, though. But no, I feel like Halloween went away, and when social media and all that came back, Halloween just came back boom in the middle.

SPEAKER_07

But it ain't the same, it ain't the same Halloween, though. It's not the same Halloween eggs.

SPEAKER_06

Nah, that's not the hood Halloween. I'm talking about dressing up. Niggas ain't getting hit with eggs all day like that no more.

SPEAKER_07

That was every Halloween. That was mandated. Mandated. Like Eastern had sneakers, eggs had uh Halloween had eggs. Stop playing. Yeah. And you couldn't wait to get out of school. It's lit. Stopping trains, they was cutting up buses, was going out of service, all type of shit. Tearing shit up. What? Niggas got powder, eggs in the stock, all type of shit, bro. Niggas running in stores, yo, bro. Yeah, all that's done. Grocery stores stop selling eggs some Easter's. Like, yo, we ain't selling your niggas no eggs. I've been around Halloween hell yeah. That's over. Halloween was dangerous, bro. So I guess we the last generation. To witness all that. We we we uh hybrids. Halloween now. All the youngers I seen was skied up. They ain't had no eggs, they wasn't buying eggs. They ain't even a big thing. Nothing but you fuck around and get shot, you throw an egg at somebody. Trigger treat, they'll get a costume. Trigger treating is good. But the eggs, when you get around 13, 14, and you outside with your niggas, and you doing shit you had them been doing, it's over. It's over.

SPEAKER_06

I think some of the transit the traditions that we're talking about is kind of from our era and they kind of died or phased out. And I don't think the next generation kept them they not on.

SPEAKER_07

They don't know nothing. I was asking these kids, uh kid Booba Booba, uh, one of them um Booba, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I was asking him if he knew about Manhunt or Black Row or Ring of Levia. He looked at me like I was crazy.

SPEAKER_07

Like, what they know? I'm like, yo, bro, y'all niggas, they don't even got these type of games that they do to interact with people that age, anything. They sit on a phone, bro. They not outside, they not outside at all. This is how you learn your skills outside, how you learn to become athletic. All these type of games we used to play was like a part, and it was fun as shit.

SPEAKER_10

You think if we'd have had our phones back then, though, we'd have been out, we'd have played all them same games?

SPEAKER_07

We'd have been less social.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, you'd have been on the phones. When I first got it, I was on my phone hard too. Like, I remember I was I was kind of like one of the first people in my hood that had a phone. And it was like they they remember the phone used to have that like snake game on it. Everybody used to sit around me and my peas and wanna, you know, let me play, let me play the game on your phone. I'm like, nah, I gotta keep my shit charged up. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm I'm really gatekeeping the phone on them because it's like I'm like the only person that really got a phone, but at the same time, like that was everybody wanted to be on my phone or do something with my phone. You know what I'm saying? So I know if we all have phones at the time, you still people gonna be on them phones.

SPEAKER_07

Crazy. Yeah, the times change, man. We the last generation of the great generation. Yeah, we the last generation. Outside game, hands-on generation. The hands-on, outside generation with experiences that actually was social. We actually was in the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_06

Last generation that wasn't living, I was living outside of our phones. Everybody else is living outside.

SPEAKER_04

Last generation that was really living outside. We was outside, so we didn't want to be in the house. Everything was outside for us. There's no stuff.

SPEAKER_10

Your phone literally was just for phone calls.

SPEAKER_06

For people to just call you. That's why it's changed because now you can do so much with your phone. That's all you did on your phone. Your phone didn't even hold music in it at first. It was just a regular phone.

SPEAKER_04

For you to have all the shit that's on your phone back in the day, you need a home camera, a VCR, a big ass computer. You need a, you need, you be running around with a suitcase full of shit to have everything that's on your phone right now back in the day. What was your first phone?

SPEAKER_07

You got everything.

SPEAKER_06

That little Nokia joint.

SPEAKER_10

Nokia. I had a Nokia. Oh, Nokia.

SPEAKER_06

I had a what's the name, but it was like a burnout phone. Remember the the uh the StarTex or the like the uh flip shit? Yeah, the the motor roller. I had one of them joints, but then was like nigga would come around and sell you the phone for$500 or something like that. It could be on for just cut it up, yeah. I had to$30 a month. My first actual phone was the Nokia joint. Yeah, that was one of them niggas just come selling a phone. You like, nah, give me that phone.

SPEAKER_07

Was a flat Nokia. Yeah, but all the buttons on the floor. Sprint joint sprint joint, some bullshit. My phone. I was bringing my hood, though. I brought like the size. It was a Nextel chirp.

SPEAKER_06

I had a chirp too.

SPEAKER_07

I remember the first chirps that only you only could chirp the the group of people you brought phones for. It was just like if I brought five phones, it was like for five construction companies for chirping. What a seven? Yeah. You could be in the city, somewhere you laid up, you gotta turn your chirp. Yo, where you at? All type of shit.

SPEAKER_04

Females, girls, everything.

SPEAKER_10

That shit used to play music wild shit.

SPEAKER_04

When that shit went nationwide, when that shit went nationwide, it was lit. Niggas none niggas ain't want to do nothing else but chirp, chirp they chirp their mind off. They need to bring that chirp.

SPEAKER_06

No more phone call, niggas.

SPEAKER_04

It was like a walkie-talkie.

SPEAKER_07

That's why they did that's what it that's why they did away with it, because they couldn't really trace it, tap it, nothing. That shit just blip, blip. Yeah, that, yeah. That bleep. Yeah, that bleep. That was crazy.

unknown

Wow.

SPEAKER_10

How y'all feel about USPS completely stopping by 2027? I don't like it.

SPEAKER_07

Postal, the postal service.

SPEAKER_10

I ain't jacking that. I order way too much shit.

SPEAKER_07

I don't think that has to do with the postal service. I think they're gonna figure out other ways to get that's not UPS USPS, not UPS. So why they got the little US USP Post Postal Service.

SPEAKER_06

That's different than UPS. UPS is its own service. This is the where everybody gets their own mail. That's regular mail right now.

SPEAKER_07

This regular mail, man. It won't be no more paper in a little while. All your bills and everything will start coming to your phone. Yeah. Right? So you can't do that. That's what they're trying to do.

SPEAKER_06

They're trying to just really just like it. They basically think like it don't make sense to keep this whole route and paying people into when we could just send you your bill in an email. And that's how it's going right now. Anyway, madden. And then if you're getting something shipped, like you said, you just it'll just go through FedEx or UPS or whatever.

SPEAKER_07

One of the dogs in the can. No.

SPEAKER_04

Shit, they got emails and computers and all that too right now in the can.

SPEAKER_07

Word.

SPEAKER_04

They gonna get all that shit the same way. They're gonna go crazy with that.

SPEAKER_06

Open it and reading it and that's a stuff to like that's like rolling the L. Like, they ain't gonna be able to get no more K2.

SPEAKER_07

I get mad emails from the homies now. What you said? No, what email talking? No, what did you just say?

SPEAKER_10

Something about the deuce. Deuce?

SPEAKER_07

I said they not gonna be able to get no more K2 letters. What you what's on your mind? What you says on the meetup, my nigga?

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_07

I thought you thought I asked you about you were smoking deuce. No, I never smoked Deuce. The douce key? That's before my time. That's after my time, actually. Yeah. Let's forget about it. I wasn't even hearing that torch. That wasn't even. I know, and that's I I get it. We understand we have understanding now. We good. We great. You understand? I don't want to see you smoking loose leaf paper out here, man. Don't go that route. That deuce is wicked, man.

SPEAKER_01

What? That deuce is wicked.

SPEAKER_07

You never you never come back. You know that, right? Change niggas. Yeah, just you forever. You out of here. Change the dicks. Out of here. A walking zombie. Never be the same. Done. That's it. Yeah, you're a different person. Never the same. You're never the same. Straight up zombie. Damn it. Yeah. Ace to the deuce is crazy. Yeah, that's worse than angels. Ace to the deuce.

SPEAKER_02

Ace to the deuce. Ace to the deuces.

SPEAKER_08

Niggas out here acing to the deuces.

SPEAKER_04

Wow. No ace to the deuce, man. A few niggas have been acing to the deuce, they trying to cover it up. It's cool, little. Yeah. Is there any occasion that someone can miss and you look at them differently? Like uh birthday, somebody birthday and they ain't gonna pop up for you, or anniversary ain't pop up for you. Like, is there anything that could go on you can make you look at somebody differently? Zane miss your birthday.

SPEAKER_07

Nah, that can't happen. It just won't happen. Nah, he probably won't do shit for me, but uh, yo dad, happy birthday. Like, that's you know, I'm used to that. You know, I'm gonna bring you something. No, he knows when he got older, he he done things for me, right? But yeah, I don't I don't think, I think the people that really, really love you and that's in your life, they don't really miss things like that.

SPEAKER_04

Right. And if they do miss things, it's definitely it's definitely something that happened because that's not like them.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like the people that matter, like we all got people that I don't really, if you don't say happy birthday to me, I ain't really stressing it. Like, it's cool, we cool, but it ain't the end of the world. Yeah, it ain't the end of the world. I ain't holding out against you. Yeah, it's all good. You know?

SPEAKER_04

I guess for some people that that's a thing though. Like, yo, you you you you supposed to be here. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I can fuck it.

SPEAKER_06

I used to feel away if it wasn't reciprocal. Like you do something with somebody, say you showing up for somebody, but they not showing up for you. I used to feel away, but even I started even like charging that to the game in a sense like that's something that I wanted to do. Or you know what I'm saying? Like, I can't put what I want to do on if you do it too. If I wanna do it, I'm gonna do it, and then that's that's what it is. And if you do it back, then that's love. And I respect that. And if you don't, then I just you know what I mean, play it accordingly like that. But I think I used to, I definitely used to feel like if I would do something for somebody, I would expect that it to be done back. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_07

But at the same level, right? Yeah. Basically. Yeah, there's never gonna be.

SPEAKER_06

But that don't, like I said, it don't always happen that way, so you gotta just accept that and accept what you did for them. Sometimes what you're doing, sometimes the love you showed is because you wanted to show love and that's it.

SPEAKER_04

But that's crazy though when you think about it.

SPEAKER_07

Like, that's the whack part in a lot of people and shit. Like, what's that? It should, I mean, like if like Fab said, you shouldn't expect it, but if I do do something for you, that should open the avenue for if I need that same favor, you should be able to come through for me on some setting of it.

SPEAKER_06

But everybody, everybody, the way they look at things is different. I'm more logical.

SPEAKER_10

I don't really be caring, but I'm more offended by the the pump fake. Like, like like asking all about what's about to happen on your where is it at? Or where we where trying to get all the details for it, or and then don't pull up, and then don't show up, or and then don't tell you why they didn't pull up. It'd be shit like that. Like, why would you ask me all of the details for the situation to not even you know?

SPEAKER_04

Text you to add it, yo, send me the fly or something.

SPEAKER_10

And it'd be the it'd be the same person where if you didn't hit them up, they'll be offended. Yeah, yo, that's crazy. If they saw you, you know what I mean? If they see you having an event or you they what do you think? No, you don't invite me.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. I'm I'm shit like that. You know what I mean? I really don't know that pissed me off. Worried about the birthday shit or the shout outs for holidays. But if we had sex like at least 13 times. What? What? Here we go. You expect the favor to be returned? At least happy birthday, nigga. At least that. So it's 13 times. Is that the same? I'm just saying. Bitch, you better tell me happy birthday.

SPEAKER_04

It's been 13, bitch.

SPEAKER_07

You know my birthday? Put that in your fucking calendar, hold on. I didn't gay that dick up. 13 times.

SPEAKER_04

I like you a little bit.

SPEAKER_08

You think you think? Let's just let's leave it there, then bitch. You don't get the hit this 13th time, bitch. Shit.

SPEAKER_07

All right, all right. Let's let's let's let's stop. All right, all right, all right, all right. How often do you think about moments you miss building your career? How often y'all think? About that. Like moments with your career family and all these football. I don't even think about it.

SPEAKER_06

I don't think about it either. I think it's sacrifices in what you want to do. Everybody has goals with their life. So sometimes you you gotta make sacrifices to reach your goals. I think the family that knows you and know that you're trying to do something with yourself, they can find understanding in that. Right. Or have to find understanding that because this is my life, it's not yours. So like I think that's why I don't like really like I don't have a regret system. That's how, like I said before, how all of this shit is kind of like the course it was supposed to go. Even when you didn't see it was supposed to go that way. So like down to that, like I I can't regret on the moments that I missed. Maybe I missed them, and it made me be able to be here and be present today. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04

So the play of push is heating up, and tournament hoops are here. And there's no better way to cash in on the high flying hoop action than prize picks, where it always feels good to be right.

SPEAKER_10

I feel like with me, a lot of the moments I might have missed, depending on the time I missed them or whatever. What I was sacrificing and what I was trying to get to, I was able to spin back and make those moments better. Like so if I missed, if I miss this birthday or if I miss that, the next time I was able to, you know what I mean? I was able to up it or do it a bet a better way. Like if whatever I missed.

SPEAKER_06

You definitely gonna miss some birthdays. You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss some shit sometime you was trying to get to. Right. I done fucking to eject the shit and then miss the same thing.

SPEAKER_04

So it's like it's it give or take. It's like balance. I haven't missed everything, you know what I mean? But like Fab said, along the journey trying to build your career and the things you need to do for you, you're gonna miss some things.

SPEAKER_07

But I've done a lot of things to get to them places so they don't they don't be missed. So you miss things with a purpose. And you you had a purpose, so you you go to sleep and you're able to look at yourself in the mirror knowing that you was doing what you needed to do to make the the greater good happen. Especially for your family.

SPEAKER_10

You may have a moment if you are if you're not present for certain shit, your consciousness, you be like, right? You feel that only for what the even even if it's for the bag, you still feel that if you call something like that.

SPEAKER_04

But main said it's right though, because it at the end of the day, you still be able to look at yourself and feel good, because 90% of what you're doing is to support the whole family. Right.

SPEAKER_07

So you so that that child could have that birthday party that they at. So it could be, you know what I mean? So it's like in the moment you feel it, right? Like Mr. Davis said, but overall, you know that your purpose was to provide. Your purpose was to get the mission done. 100%. It's to accomplish it. And by any means. And that, and being on that journey, it's gonna be days, it's gonna be nights, it's gonna be times where you can't be there. Right.

SPEAKER_04

And I think this, I think it goes both ways, even for the person that uh feels some type of way for an event that was missed. Like if they're part of your family, I think after it's said and done and they understand the bigger picture things, yeah, they do, they still be grateful and things.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, they do. You know what I mean? And kids growing up, you know, as long as you're in their lives, as long as you're consistent, you know what I mean, you get to make that back up, bro. Right. And they they know what you do, so you know what I mean. Like your fathers like us, they know that we outgrind and they seen us since we was young and shit like that. So a lot of things they don't hold against us, especially if you're really in that child's life, like you said.

SPEAKER_06

That's a fact. As a father, do y'all feel that when you're able to provide, you feel better as a father? Have you ever been in a space where you couldn't do something that you wanted to do for your for your kid and it made you feel like in less in value or like you know what I'm saying? Like you like you just couldn't do something that you wanted to do at the time.

SPEAKER_07

Not for my kid. Nah. And you feel like we gonna make that shit happen. God, you know what's crazy?

SPEAKER_10

God, God bless me to be in this in this space in life when I had kids. I didn't have kids before this started rolling.

SPEAKER_07

So since they've been born, they've been good. I feel a bit of the same way.

SPEAKER_04

Like my career kind of started uh a little bit before I had my son, but even when I had my son, like I just knew my mind that there was no way that I was gonna have this son and have him grow up and face anything that I had to face when it came to the hardships of growing up and shit like that.

SPEAKER_07

I d and not to say nothing about the place I grew up, because there's a lot of culture there, and uh maybe I should have raised him in the middle of Harlem, but at that time when you getting money and you in the midst of it, you thinking about trying to provide the best of everything for your child. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

I was starting to get some money, and that was my mind frame, you know what I mean? Like me being provided with an education and going to Catholic school and all the shit, I'm like, I gotta step it up for him even more and shit like that. So that just was always my mission. Like, I don't give a fuck what happened to me. I gotta make sure that I mean, like, no matter what his housing, everything is straight for him. So I was I'm I'm blessed and I'm grateful that he's never been in a position that I couldn't provide for him what he needed and what he wanted.

SPEAKER_07

You know, I was having a conversation with my son recently, and and I told him my biggest fear was just that right here, right? Not knowing where my life was at because when I came home off of my violation, my son was three months old. So he was born while I was locked up, right? And my fear was not knowing how this thing was gonna play out. I'm on parole, I'm still, I still got a foot in the street with a dream, I'm still doing shit. Um, and I don't know what's where this is gonna be. So the fact that I was able to reel that all together and make things happen, and he don't even remember me as not as a rapper is crazy to me. Like he like, I don't remember you, I don't know you as not being you, right? So I told him, I said, the biggest fear I was like, not knowing like maybe I was gonna die in the street, maybe I was gonna go back to prison, or maybe I just couldn't figure it out. And just been a nigga just existing in that space, you know. So I'm I'm I'm highly super grateful because I was able to figure that all out, man. So you had your son before you started rapping? No. What happened was I started rapping in prison and I came home and I was home for five months, and I caught a violation and had to do a year. So the five months that I was home, um the the his mother got pregnant. So I came right back after the year.

SPEAKER_06

Um he was born. So it's kind of like we really biased in this question a little bit because we all had kids after we were in a situation. So what about there's a this I'm gonna spin the question a little bit or this topic a little bit. Because I seen I seen a uh interview that Jim did that went viral, and it was you talking about the ups and downs. So not with your kid, but like say in a relationship with your lady. I think you said something when when you ballin', we going against Chanel, and then when we not, then we we ain't doing that. Right, right. What about feeling like that? And uh was it ups and downs in your career where you had to 100% scale back? I meant that. And I and I still live that, I still live by that to this day.

SPEAKER_07

Absolutely. Like, so I've been through a lot of ups and downs in my career. I'm just grateful that I was resilient enough to still be here.

SPEAKER_06

But they say that's the true the true uh test of a hustler.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, if anybody just always been used, but you gotta be up and the true test is time to really not let your woman or whoever's in you lead you with into nah you not not even the pressure. Not even the pressure because the pressure's on you. They can't feel the pressure. They can't feel the pressure.

SPEAKER_06

You can have the pressure and you gotta just put it on your shoulders. Let's wrap about some hoops real quick. Brought to you by the homies at Prospix.

SPEAKER_10

Yo, yo, the regular season almost over, but first we got Boston coming to the town tomorrow night. Boston is tough. How feel about that?

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_07

Brunson is tough too, though. Brunson is tough. I'm gonna go on. But you know Jalen Brown, them boys from Boston. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna.

SPEAKER_10

I think I think with with both both teams, I think just the competition and the known rivalry, they both sides are gonna up it.

SPEAKER_07

Cat gotta up it. Yeah. Cat gotta up it up. I think Cat'll be an important piece of them winning the game if he up it. Everybody. Jalen, Josh, all of them gotta be.

SPEAKER_06

Right. Right. I think that'll happen. But for one reason for one, for some reason, I think the Knicks in this era always got the Celtics for some reason. They always somehow beat them in the series. Yeah. Yeah, it's something like they got them. One time I went to Boston and went to the game, and the Knicks won in Boston. I'm like the only New York nigga. I'm in there I'm feeling good. They tight.

SPEAKER_07

Dangerous. And they take that shit to the soul. Absolutely. I'ma go more. Yeah, I'm gonna go on soul. Oh, for Jason? No. Let me see. For Jason Tatum. I'm gonna go more. Let me see his stats. More? Yeah. Coming in the garden. He's averaging 23. Honestly, I'm gonna go more too for Jason. What about Jalen? Brown, uh, I'm gonna go more with both of them. So you think they're coming to get busy?

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, well, I feel like the garden, most, most, most teams, but of course, I mean, especially Boston, they they want to come get that win in New York.

SPEAKER_06

And when they every, like you said, when everybody comes to the garden, that's like the mecca of basketball. Absolutely. Everybody wants to step their shit up. All the other stars of every generation came to the garden and showed up. So like when they come, they want to make sure that they have that game too.

SPEAKER_07

But we do know New York is gonna win. Yeah, I'm going with the tank. I'm going with the tank. While Jalen, we're going more, right? Brunson, I'm going more. Absolutely. Everything.

SPEAKER_06

Brunson, I'm going more.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Josh Hart. More. I'm going more points.

SPEAKER_10

I'm going more points with him this time, too.

unknown

Prize picks. I had a couple houses like everybody, my mom's house. Um make sure my baby mom's and my son was good and in the midst of height of career, you get lows, trying not to do nothing in the street. Money started disappearing because of bills, and I came to a point where I knew that my accountant didn't do something right with these things that help you with your mortgages and your houses, and the last house that I was supposed to do on was my house, and it didn't go through. And I knew that I was up Shake's Creek because I couldn't maintain it.

SPEAKER_04

And at this time I was going through a whole bunch of shit in my relationship, but trying to hide that from Chris and trying to still maintain like everything is right and trying to figure out the answer in the midst of all that, and then boom, this shit pops up on social media because everything is public knowledge. Nick be holding that shit down. That shit is a live.

SPEAKER_07

But imagine how nigga a man could feel like that. So there's no difference of the pressure of you being in the projects and having that on your head, or you being a rich nigga and having that on your head at that moment in time, bro.

SPEAKER_10

I think it's worse when you got it. Because in the project, you're used to that.

SPEAKER_07

You're in the certain everyday dudes that's going through that too.

SPEAKER_06

Where they got it, where they where they girl is at them, like, yo, what's up? We need out these bills, and they gotta be like, damn, I got to get out here and get to it because she on my back. I every time I go in the crib, she on me, like, yo, did you get the you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_07

And then a notice pops up in the mail. And you make a nigga deal and your bitch like, I thought you paid the bill and shit like that. You heard that. The crazy part about that situation is that it goes public. Like you just said. For a person like this the blog. See, everyday people dealing with the biggest. Everything is public, bro. Right? Whatever you go and do, we have to be able to do it. So this is a life lesson. This is this is really some things happen to. I mean, if you were the person in God, I I hope that you know that they with you, which I knew. Baby girl always been with me. But when that shit hit the blogs, we weren't necessarily we were still together, but we were separated. She was in our spot in Miami, and I've been in New York for a few months. And that shit hit the blogs. She called me like, what the fuck is you doing? Like, bro, you bugging the fuck out. You looking like a clown out here. She I'll be back tomorrow, bro. She came back and she said, Yo, bro, we need to get a house like ASAP. We're gonna rent this shit a house, and I'm gonna put a house in our name because you got us out here looking crazy, bro. And I know it's not like that, but you're not being you're not over, you're not letting me know what's going on. We don't wanna, you can't, I can't let you, I don't wanna let my woman know. That's a hard combo, bro. I can't let my woman own my kids. Especially for it's not we not regular niggas, we not regular niggas, bro. Not to say it like that, but nigga, you've been through so much fame, you run through so much money.

SPEAKER_04

So now it's like you think about everything, huh? Your lady gonna look at you like how you handle finances, how he handle money. I watch this nigga run through millions of dollars. You can't, what's you understand what I'm saying, nigga? Like yo, bro.

SPEAKER_07

Can't let your child or your woman know what you're going through. What you're going through. And maybe that's a pride thing, or maybe you're not a man thing, bro. It ain't no pride in it. That's a fucking man thing. It comes from a different era.

SPEAKER_04

It ain't no 50-50.

SPEAKER_07

I seen growing up. I seen my grandfather take care of everything. Like that was his job, like trying to fit the bill for everything. So it's like I'm trained in that same sense. It's like, yo, bro, this is not a woman's job to worry about the bill. Right, but we but we all we all design like that. I don't know if that's right or wrong, but the it it because the thing is, is that I don't even want my stress put on you. Right? You'll never know what the bad days and the rainy days look like.

SPEAKER_10

Because we ain't talking about it when it's all comfortable and then when it's all good. We ain't discussing how that got like that. But that goes back to the city. So if it's if it's fucked up for a minute, I don't want to talk to you about that neither.

SPEAKER_06

I'm a I'm a we're gonna get back. What if your lady is like a hustler or she got plays or y'all, y'all, y'all ran plays together or something like that? Do you think it's like a point you could get to it and be like, yo, holla at her? Like, yo, we could we could run together.

SPEAKER_07

That might be easier because y'all, if that's how the yeah, that's the dynamic. Yeah, if that's what you're building on. That's the dynamic of your relationship, and that's how your your you know what I mean? But not to say, and I'm and I gotta hustle her with me, but that's not been the dynamic of our relationship. Like, I respect her hustle, do what she does, whatever she hustles, that's her hustle. I ain't tripping about that. I'm mine, I'm still taking care of everything.

SPEAKER_04

So you know what I mean? So for me coming to that table.

SPEAKER_06

If it started like that, you can't introduce them to no vibe that you can't keep up. So like if it started like that, you really gotta hustle.

SPEAKER_07

That's what they know, yeah. Right, right, right, right. It's oh, I get it, man. But that also goes to the to the saying is like, as a man, we we don't really have that outlet to be uh vulnerable. And maybe that's bad. That's what I'm saying. I don't that's that that's my point. The way we design, I don't know if it's if it's pride, if it's a deep-rooted trauma from our past, our fathers, their fathers, their fathers. I don't know what it is, but the way we are, it's like, you know what? Before I let you know what I'm going through, I'm gonna figure this shit out. I'm gonna make it happen. Before you feel any of what I'm feeling, I'm gonna figure this shit out. I got to figure it out. I have to. And we put a lot of the burden and a lot of pressure and a lot of stress on ourselves. And sometimes the woman is saying, nigga, what you think I'm here for? I'm here to be your rock. I'm here to be solid with you. Let me know, let me in. You could, this is why I'm here. This is part of us having what we got. So when we in these situations, I can be an aid.

SPEAKER_10

But like Spears said, if if if you if you came in it's hard already saying, relax. I got this. If that's the bop, if that's what it been, is it's like almost like I don't, I'm not gonna sit up and and and and be sad or cry or be down about what I'm going through as a family. That ain't got nothing to do with y'all. Yeah, because it's cool. I'm gonna go figure this shit out.

SPEAKER_04

That's my dog. And y'all even still that thin line right there, like when it comes to that. Yeah, like that.

SPEAKER_10

Just as a man, it's gonna be a big thing.

SPEAKER_07

Maybe it's just being a rapper because you start getting so much. I don't know if it's I I think it's a lot of different variables that come back.

SPEAKER_10

I don't even think it's rap, Capo. If if if a nigga was in the street, you gonna go bust a move and not say nothing. Like, I don't think it's just cause a nigga a rapper. It's like, if that's what it is, if you if you if you consider yourself the provider for what's going on, whichever way you getting it, sometimes you got it, sometimes it might not be what it been.

SPEAKER_07

You don't want to discuss that with nobody at all. But it is a man thing, but the type of men that we are, right? Is that is it trauma? Is it pride? Is it ego? Is it something that doesn't allow us to feel like we have an outlet to a little bit of all of that?

SPEAKER_06

Men are also are not used to being vulnerable too. So that's a that's a also a thing of vulnerability, being able to talk to your partner and tell them, you know, what's going on or what needs you figuring nah, I ain't I don't even want the stress. Sometimes you don't even want the stress of them, them talking about it to you. You know what I'm saying? Or yo, did you figure that out? Like you don't even want to hear it. Because you might put it in the back.

SPEAKER_07

A nigga won't say nah. A nigga, we're you could go through it silent. We could be going through some shit.

SPEAKER_04

A nigga could I could be going through some shit right now, and I st uh and then and I need a fucking uh lifeline bad. I will not come to none of y'all and ask for that lifeline just cut as being what you said. Maybe it's a mix of all of that shit. Like you did.

SPEAKER_07

We go through silent wars. Right. We go through silent wars. This is men, this is stand-up men. These are men that uh that take their their lives in their hands, that bet on themselves, that that that live life, you know, um and take risks, right? We bet on we bet on ourselves, so we go through silent wars. And we don't want to look weak in no way.

SPEAKER_06

All right, hold up, hold up. Here's the devil's advocate. What if you done bust every move you done try to bust, you done try to hit a couple plays and it just ain't that to the point where it's like it's not happening. Do you have do you come and had a conversation then? Like say even it say it's something that's out of your out of the board, yo, we owe these niggas a mill. I ain't got a mill for them. You know what I'm saying? Where does it, where does it? Do you do you do you really check it out? It's Richie. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

Put that pride to the side. No, no, no. At what point do you when you exhaust all remedies and you know when you have, right? Trust me, we burned. I'm telling you, the shit came out the comedian. You know when it's when you you because you look everywhere. You look in the closet, you look around the block, you look in the trunk, nigga checking the seat to the couch, you like you.

SPEAKER_09

You trying to think of niggas that owe you.

SPEAKER_05

So listen, you call everybody, bro, everything.

SPEAKER_07

Being blackball is a real I'm trying to tell y'all being blackballed is a real thing. I don't know if anybody else has witnessed it or been through this shit, but I've really been through it when the whole industry cuts your checks off. Like, nigga, we ain't got no business. You heard? Scary shit. And you seeing everything crumble in front of you, you like, oh, this is getting wild. And you still trying to maintain.

SPEAKER_06

That's when the real hustler comes out, though.

SPEAKER_10

That's when the who you was before you was who you was.

SPEAKER_06

You really got no, it's only is nowhere else to go but up. That's it.

SPEAKER_07

Just your feet is on the floor. You better get up, nigga. Back against the wall.

SPEAKER_10

But sometimes that predicament creates the illest nigga you could ever be.

SPEAKER_07

Right, because you can only do it. Two things only happen. Either you become better or you break. That's it. That's the only two ideas. Either you break or you make less rap about it.

SPEAKER_06

And now we have some power moves brought to you by Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.

SPEAKER_07

Hey yo, bro, you ever like sit back and seen somebody make a move, right? And then you just have to sit back and go, nah, that's different. No, you know what that is. That's a power move.

SPEAKER_06

You know, like when somebody counted you out and you double back and you run it up.

SPEAKER_07

Or when they try to lowball you, you stand firm and end up getting what you really deserve. You know what I mean? Exactly. That's what we mean when we say that's a power move. And look, the same thing applies when life hits you different.

SPEAKER_07

That's a power move. This is a paid advertisement. Do you believe in the phrase fake it till you make it? Or do you think it has limits? And I wouldn't say fake it till you make it. I would say this though, right? Stay down till you come up. And in that, and in that, right?

SPEAKER_05

Because you're gonna be remembered for that fake shit you had on. Right, but I ain't even talking about fake shit. But what I'm talking about is more of this though. Right?

SPEAKER_10

They ain't gonna forget that. They're not gonna forget that. These cameras, all this, they're gonna not gonna forget it. But listen to this. So just don't wear it. No, no, no. We're not talking about it. Dave is pissed.

SPEAKER_07

Don't wear it. No, no, no. We ain't talking about, we're talking about. No, I ain't talking about jury. I'm talking about I'm saying anything. No, listen. Taking it till you make it. Listen. Here, because what we were talking about leads me to this. No matter what you do, right? No matter what he was going through, whatever you may be going through, what anybody's going through, right? You still gotta come out and put that smile on. Yeah. You still have to look like you don't need a favor, even if you need one. That's the thing. It gotta always look like you all good. I'm gonna tell you some flat. It gotta always be all good. Even when you're not gonna be all good. You know if you know, so it in this game as rappers, naturally your kit, your jewelry is your is your fucking cake. This is what I'm saying. But you know them Jews, you can cast them shits in and get some money.

SPEAKER_04

Absolutely. So now when you still in the game, even though the game is still drying you out, you still in the game. You still don't pop up a couple venues here and there. So it's like, yo, bro, if you lose the kid, it's gonna look bad. Nigga, it's like you fight, like, yo, bro. I had fights with myself about the kids. The kids be worth money, bro. It's like, yo, bro, like it's a lot when you get down to your bottom, and all through that, just trying to stay solid and not fold and definitely not look weak in front of people, like, yo, bro, is this wild?

SPEAKER_07

But even deeper than that is the fact that your aura has to look like and you ain't and you know you ain't got no.

SPEAKER_05

But your aura gotta look like a big thing. You know that glow ain't even there.

SPEAKER_07

Look like your head is down. You can't look like you doing bad spiritually at all. Your energy got to be still bright, got to still be big, you got to still hop out looking confident. You can't look like you're insecure or you lost confidence, even if you feeling some of these things. Right. Because it's all being documented, it's all being, it's all being looked at.

SPEAKER_04

And trying to and trying not to make the mistake of getting some money that you know ain't gonna serve you no purpose, or making that wrong move.

SPEAKER_07

Because it's easy to get some money out here. Right, making a wrong move that could cost you. Yo, yo, main, have you ever mistakenly text something crazy to the wrong person? Why would you start with me? He definitely did that.

SPEAKER_08

You gotta have a story for us. Let's hear it. Let's fucking hear it. I know you got a story for us. 100%. Let's fucking hear this one. I'm waiting. I'm I'm I'm waiting. I could tell you my own. I could just make up a story and it might fit.

SPEAKER_10

You didn't want her to know that's the time you be on. Damn. That's what I'm that's my thing. Like, cause, cause you're not sure. You and I TY the time they look at you, they're a real black person. After that, you could have been like, oh, that wasn't for you. So the fact you didn't do that, you cared up that, like, damn, she knows what time I'm on. I'm on this time, like damn.

SPEAKER_07

No, no, that if you're not going to be able to do it.
