off for a minute, like maybe four or five PM.
And then sometimes like if I'm trying to get back
right and reset, what really helps me re sent my
mind is going like on the twenty four hour fast wall.
But like, do you ever does that ever get to you?
You ever want to? Like I only do that like
once every like three months there, four months.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I've tried like eating one meal a day and

Speaker 1 (02:04):
No, I feel like I'm I'm like mentally used to it.
There you go.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
What's that mental strength from? I think just for being outside?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Probably yeah, it's probably just everything like everything is led
up to this, you feel me and just working on
my mental like going to the gym, being like being
super strict on myself.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It, bro, you gotta be bro. Discipline is everything. Discipline
is everything paid in full. You showed some discipline in there.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, that's right now. I was. I was in the
studio late nice. It's a studio. It took it took
over a year, and I'm like, I don't think nobody
understands the process. And on top of that, like I
wanted to really put my my all, my time and
effort into it. So we was turning down shows left
and right. So you know, the money, the money, I'm like,
(02:50):
you know, I got to get some money, but I'm like, nah,
I gotta work on this stuff. Craft gezy to turn
down the check it's crazy and not be turned down Hella, bread,
Not all bread is good, that's right, that's right, yeah,
because you know I've always turned down bread since the beginning.
I think that's what made my brand so strong is
that I wouldn't take features, don't. I don't do stuff
for money.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, I've never I've never known you or like heard
of you to do some bullshit for exactly you feel
me but pain and full Yo. Yeah, now you say that,
it shows bro, you can tell in on it. The
features are right. The way you lined up the songs
is right. I know that's a process as well.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That everything everything, and like, what's so cool about it
is like it's major features, but it feels like it's
all the hummies like it don't feel like it's some
industry shitty for me. That's what I was gonna say.
It doesn't sound like I think. I think that's how
it came so came out so perfect. Is the line
so perfect? It's a masterpiece in your eyes? For sure?
My best work today man? And the album cover easy
(03:48):
fire Right, it's just me and you see how all
that comes together. Like that's like the gro that's one
of the blocks I grew up on. Lit that chop
cheesep I was on and it just reminded me of
the movie paid in Full Crazy. Yeah, I gotta do that.
I was gonna say, is there a tie in from Yeah? Yeah. Right,
there's a scene at the beginning whether all the front
of the chop cheese fire with all the fly whips,
(04:09):

got to involve my son. That a movie that you
grew up watching. Yeah, what's another one you grew up watching,
like all the gays movies like Casino, Good Fellas, everything, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what about like LaBamba not Labama? Selena. I was just
watching it the other day. Yeah, I love Selena right right, right, right,

this is tight, Like we were just like on some
hommy shit. And then the song I made, I just

like with no intention of having anyone on it. And
then we sent it to each other like we all
got to say hommy shout out. The hommies were just
(11:00):
in each other music. And then when I was at
his party when I want to go do that and

outside broadcasting. Then we got then we came in and

great for the city. Man.

good dad dog, you promise you see. That's what I'm saying,
Like I'm like, I'd be gone so much, I gotta
make use of all the time I am here.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Is that coming from having the relationship you had with
your father?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, because my dad really wasn't like around like that.
You feel me if.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That's what I'm saying, Like, you're like, y'all got to
do better because of not that felt not really because
I didn't feel like like an absence from because I
didn't know anything else, so like I don't know, it
just it just comes from just being a real one,
like you gotta handle business for sure. Yeah, that's why
getting kicked out of school in the elementary dog Yeah sure,
(14:24):
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I saw that you've never cracked an egg before in
your life? Yeah, or maybe I haven't. It was probably
messed up and I don't remember threw.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
An egg at a house the egg for sure. If
you ever back, I have cracked the egg. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you cracked an egg for somebody's head.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah. I literally cracked the egg over someone's head. One
of the last days of school in high school, I
brought eggs and start throwing them at like security, the
security guards.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Is great.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Doing that now is even crazier with these egg prices.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You imagine that, Bro, be crazy, bro waiting for what's
the most What's the song that you're most proud of?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Or is it songs? Maybe not? The one I'm most
proud of? Is what is it called? It's the number two?
Let me see, let me check. It's the hip boy
producer one. Keep going, yeah, keep going, keep going. Because
I was in the studio, bro, and I had First
of all, I'm nervous because I'm a hip boy, and
(15:23):
then hip boys just like they're like like, what you're
gonna cut? And then I'm like I'm like, yeah, I
need some motivation. So I called I called my baby,
my mom and put my son on the phone. So
then that's how I came up with the hood. Yeah.
I was like, I was like, I felt like like
I was back at square one. Like I was like,
I gotta make it out the trenches.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yeah, right, Like that's something I think you'll always need, right,
You need that challenge, for sure. You always need that.
I feel like I'm just getting started. I gotta fight
my way.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Out of this. Yeah, for sure, to win. I feel
like you got to. You got to keep that mental
feel me. Otherwise, like the like love for everything just
dies down, the love and the passion. Is it easy
to lose that, like especially when Yeah, for sure, for sure,
I was. I was thinking about it. I was like
that was there was a little point between the short
line breakup, But I don't think it was just that.
It's just like life changes and you're not around the
(16:14):
same circles and you're not doing what you used to do,
so like life is different. So it's kind of like
it feels like weird. But on top of that, I
was like, I just realized I lost a lot of
good people at that very time in my life. So
I don't know if it was like I was going
through depression. I was going through a lot. Like all
my life was changing. I was like, it was my
first time living like in the suburbs. All my hommies
(16:35):
is dying, Like it was a lot going on in
my life. Yeah, a lot of change was going on.
It was uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It wasn't that you might be going through like possibly
what it was depression. Like after the fact.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I just realized that, like a few months ago, I
was on tour with a through another baby and he
like a baby therapist, Like man, he was just having
like a lot of deep conversations. And then I was
just like, yeah, I just realized I was depressed and
now I'm happy. Like I think that's how this project
was also like sell fired because I'm like it was
like I was getting my spark back. Yeah, yeah, that
(17:08):
spark was there.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I forgot how to be creative. I forgot to do
a lot of stuff. Yeah, I think that's I was
just like I don't pilot. I felt like that happened
to a lot of people, especially creatives. Of course, right
that writer's block or that you know, that's just that
that spark diminishes a little bit and you have to
find it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The money so you get like some type of lazy
like just coming into everything come easier.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Nah, I remember we're talking about money rolling loud. You
were like, nah, they just called me bro. I'm here, yo,
let's get it. No, but I'll be grinding so you
feel me. I'll be trying to get all the money.
But like I said, I'm still gonna turn down money
for sure. Money ain't everything.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, now we can't do no goofy shit. Never know,
I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Of course, Hey, I read that your mom used to
take you to Target to get CDs, Like when you
were good in school and a good boy?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Did you all have to finesse it? Because I really
wasn't good, but I changed the ds to be like,
I don't know how to finess, but you know I
would get good grades. It was just my behavior. Like right,
Like I remember my first freshman year of school, everyone's
fucking up because that's when you like get freedom so
(18:17):
you can class. You could do whatever you want, and
they're still passing to the next grade. So everybody started
fucking up. I had all a's my freshman year, and
now I start fucking up just like everybody else. It's
like me and you know, everyone else was fucking up
immediately because they're like, oh, it's our first time with freedom,
Like yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Hey, did you was there a line on an artist
or an album that triggered your brain to say I
can fucking do this and I could be great.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
At this m I think everything I grew up listening
to no, Actually, you know what, I didn't ever think
I could do it until I think, like around when
I was like nineteen, when I started when like Rocky
and all the young castles coming out, like I was like,
where everyone's young and fly like me. I was like
I could do this shit too, like, but all all
(19:05):
my life before that, before like seventeen eighteen, I didn't
think I could ever do it because it was no
like no one would really look up to right, like
nothing like no Spanish people in the game right now,
I know, like Cypress Hill was was coming up, but
it was like a different swag. You feel me, like
I've always the way I feel about myself like skater
like you feel me like I've had that swag. So
(19:25):
I feel like Cyprus Hill was more like like Chollo
type swag.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Like in my eyes, it was like a nineties right yeah,
like you know they were small, but that's how I
looked at it, like as a kid. For me, I
feel like your generation, I understand it more now. Yeah,
I think like fifty put a battery on a lot
of Yeah, yeah for sure, I was. I was like
the biggest G Unit fan.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Right, did you have the spinding g Unit change from
the mall? Nah? I had, I had. I had all
the clothes though, yeah, yeah, shows shirt everything.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You mentioned that there was not a lot of people
to look up to when you were starting, when you
were starting to get into it, Like, how does it
feel now knowing that people are looking up to you
not only as a rapper, but a Latino rapper.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I think that's one that's one of my greatest accomplishments
over everything, just being able to inspire everyone that I
have inspired, like and I love that, like we let
each other know that, like like Pestel Bloom of JLP.
Everyone everyone lets me know, like bro, like fuck with
you for me, like and you part of the reason,
like like for doing what we do. And I think
(20:29):
that's one of the greatest accomplishments ever.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, I saw you. I saw a video where you

right away. I mean you in the interview was Spanish.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's fire.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's crazy, right, you see you see and I got
I got getting from easy too. So it's like it
all like trickles. Then it's like off Correl feel exactly.
Was work a song that y'all already had now we
did that, we do that. We might have done that
the same week as the pop out. Yeah, there's that energy.
It was turned. I love that. I love that song.
(21:13):

you can feel it. I was excited. I was excited.
Were about to go up.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I'm like, all these motherfuckers, Yo, they're going in And
it just felt like it just felt right. It felt the.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Way it did because it's like I felt like we
wasn't even barring up or nothing. We were just gassing up.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Though, Like it just felt like yeah, for sure, man,
So Yo, you mentioned you know you want to take
vacations somewhere else?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Do you want to go Grace for show that where else?
I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
For I was, yeah, about to go out there for school,
so we have to check out. It's yeah, I think
that's the best thing I ever did for my kids. Bro,
it's take the place, yeah, because they know the world's
bigger than where they're at.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And you're right, comfortability comfortable. So that's also a reason
for like my artistry now where I'm at and why
this project was so good. Think about like all the
places I've been in the life I live like, it's
like seeing so the world is bigger than like where
we're from. Growing up, we never went on I want
to start taking My son be asking me. He'd be like, Yo,
can you take me to this museum in New York?
(22:22):
And I'm like, Yo, you gotta slack. I got work.
But that's how I like that. That little work trip
changed my whole perspective. Like I was like, I gotta
do this travel with the tutor. Yeah, for sure, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
We always talk about that too, Like I think we
slack on celebrating, right, Like, you don't have to look
at it always as celebrating, but as like a moment
to appreciated that we do because and enjoy it with
the people that we love, right.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Exactly exactly, you do got to take that time and
do that make those moments for like family, because it's
like nothing at the end of the day, nothing is
more important than family.
Speaker 3 (22:58):

Before about the second one, I bought another house. That's
the way. I don't just spend money on Yeah, but
we got some change though, we got some change. Today,
I'm like, I'm like, what's going on here? I do
have to know who has better change? Rappers or athletes? Uh,
(23:28):
Rappers not because of the quality, because they want to
be us.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
That's how they got changed. But that's it, that's it,
you feel me. They want to be a lot of
athletes do think they can wrap. It's not even you know,
can't rap. Miles Bridges, he one of us.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
A fake athlete. Real rappers, one of us like an athlete.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
It seems like every time you've come in we've seen growth,
you know what I mean, Because we've been here six
years and you've been here probably four or five times,
and it's like every time we see everything levels up.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, I feel like I'm just constantly working on myself.
That's what it is. We have to we have got kids, right,
trying to be better tomorrow. Even that's it, Bro, that's it.
You're eating better too, right? Are you fasting every morning?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Is that what you're doing? I'll be fasting. Yeah, I
do the manifest. Okay, so what time do you have
your first meal after the gym?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Probably like around two may look at you, that's right.
I try to hold up. Sometimes I try to hold
off for a minute, like maybe four or five PM.
And then sometimes like if I'm trying to get back
right and reset, what really helps me re sent my
mind is going like on the twenty four hour fast wall.
But like, do you ever does that ever get to you?
You ever want to? Like I only do that like
once every like three months there, four months.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I've tried like eating one meal a day and
then and then but then I go back to fucking up.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, so fast that's all because you start missing it, bro,
and then then you d on it. I have one soda,
then the next week you're just four sodas. Again.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm like, are you person to get angry now?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
No? No, Yeah, That's what I was gonna ask, Like
if you you you don't if you don't eat in
the morning and you wait till four or five, like
at that point, do you want to rip.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
No, I feel like I'm I'm like mentally used to it.
There you go.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
What's that mental strength from? I think just for being outside?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Probably yeah, it's probably just everything like everything is led
up to this, you feel me and just working on
my mental like going to the gym, being like being
super strict on myself.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It, bro, you gotta be bro. Discipline is everything. Discipline
is everything paid in full. You showed some discipline in there.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, that's right now. I was. I was in the
studio late nice. It's a studio. It took it took
over a year, and I'm like, I don't think nobody
understands the process. And on top of that, like I
wanted to really put my my all, my time and
effort into it. So we was turning down shows left
and right. So you know, the money, the money, I'm like,
(02:50):
you know, I got to get some money, but I'm like, nah,
I gotta work on this stuff. Craft gezy to turn
down the check it's crazy and not be turned down Hella, bread,
Not all bread is good, that's right, that's right, yeah,
because you know I've always turned down bread since the beginning.
I think that's what made my brand so strong is
that I wouldn't take features, don't. I don't do stuff
for money.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, I've never I've never known you or like heard
of you to do some bullshit for exactly you feel
me but pain and full Yo. Yeah, now you say that,
it shows bro, you can tell in on it. The
features are right. The way you lined up the songs
is right. I know that's a process as well.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That everything everything, and like, what's so cool about it
is like it's major features, but it feels like it's
all the hummies like it don't feel like it's some
industry shitty for me. That's what I was gonna say.
It doesn't sound like I think. I think that's how
it came so came out so perfect. Is the line
so perfect? It's a masterpiece in your eyes? For sure?
My best work today man? And the album cover easy
(03:48):
fire Right, it's just me and you see how all
that comes together. Like that's like the gro that's one
of the blocks I grew up on. Lit that chop
cheesep I was on and it just reminded me of
the movie paid in Full Crazy. Yeah, I gotta do that.
I was gonna say, is there a tie in from Yeah? Yeah. Right,
there's a scene at the beginning whether all the front
of the chop cheese fire with all the fly whips,
(04:09):
and I'm like, I gotta do that, And then I
got to involve my son. That a movie that you
grew up watching. Yeah, what's another one you grew up watching,
like all the gays movies like Casino, Good Fellas, everything, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what about like LaBamba not Labama? Selena. I was just
watching it the other day. Yeah, I love Selena right right, right, right,
I was watching Obama for the first time. I think
it might have been my second time, but I don't
(04:29):
remember watching it, like because right, right, what was your
favorite part that he's from the Pacoima That's right, I
know the Valleys. Man.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
What hey, I was talking to you on the way
in about heat Stick, you know, and how that's just
like that's been something we've been playing like at the
top of our list in rotation, rotation for so long.
And it was great to hear you guys walk back
on the same record, man, And then I hear another
one on another one and paid in full, like when
you guys got back together in the studio, how was
that energy?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Just instant, right, yeah, yeah, exactly easy. It was like
this for us, like it was just like just let's
get back to it. Yeah, you feel me? Is that
phoenix flex and shuffling in those videos like the yeah
he said shuffling. Yeah, we used to go to raise. Nah,
we used to go to raise the whole time.
Speaker 2 (05:22):

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I used to sometimes we all were selling something else.
So I'm selling pills or something. We was like the
Jake Gis people at the Raid. We wouldn't even pay.
We were rushing, like, yeah, we weren't even paid to
get inking. Y'all rushing in man, badass kids. Look at
us now though it paid off.

You feel me? You feel me? That's right now. Yeah.
Now they got to cut a check to get you there.
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:53):

Speaker 3 (05:59):
That are working the hardest, Right, they're struggling, They're working
the hardest.

Yeah, because you were you were I don't know if
you weren't being challenged or.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Or know what it was. I think my mind is

this is tight, Like we were just like on some
hommy shit. And then the song I made, I just

like with no intention of having anyone on it. And
then we sent it to each other like we all
got to say hommy shout out. The hommies were just
(11:00):
in each other music. And then when I was at
his party when I want to go do that and
I'm rapping, they put me to a side there like

Speaker 1 (13:15):
It felt like a parade. Yeah, you know, you know
it's one.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Thing for us to like, you know, we'll be telling
our kids like hey, like we were there, You're gonna
tell your son like yo, I.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Performed and speaking to my son, I left. I wasn't
there at the end, like I didn't stay for the
picture and nothing, because I promised I was taking my
sons in the theaters. So like right after I performed,
I was like, I gotta go do my stuff. Damn.
So the picture comes out, You're like, ship, I was like,
I'm good. Did you take your son to I don't remember,
(13:45):
you know, but I think movies and nah for a
good dad dog, you promise you see. That's what I'm saying,
Like I'm like, I'd be gone so much, I gotta
make use of all the time I am here.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Is that coming from having the relationship you had with
your father?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, because my dad really wasn't like around like that.
You feel me if.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That's what I'm saying, Like, you're like, y'all got to
do better because of not that felt not really because
I didn't feel like like an absence from because I
didn't know anything else, so like I don't know, it
just it just comes from just being a real one,
like you gotta handle business for sure. Yeah, that's why
getting kicked out of school in the elementary dog Yeah sure,
(14:24):
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I saw that you've never cracked an egg before in
your life? Yeah, or maybe I haven't. It was probably
messed up and I don't remember threw.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
An egg at a house the egg for sure. If
you ever back, I have cracked the egg. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you cracked an egg for somebody's head.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah. I literally cracked the egg over someone's head. One
of the last days of school in high school, I
brought eggs and start throwing them at like security, the
security guards.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Is great.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Doing that now is even crazier with these egg prices.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You imagine that, Bro, be crazy, bro waiting for what's
the most What's the song that you're most proud of?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Or is it songs? Maybe not? The one I'm most
proud of? Is what is it called? It's the number two?
Let me see, let me check. It's the hip boy
producer one. Keep going, yeah, keep going, keep going. Because
I was in the studio, bro, and I had First
of all, I'm nervous because I'm a hip boy, and
(15:23):
then hip boys just like they're like like, what you're
gonna cut? And then I'm like I'm like, yeah, I
need some motivation. So I called I called my baby,
my mom and put my son on the phone. So
then that's how I came up with the hood. Yeah.
I was like, I was like, I felt like like
I was back at square one. Like I was like,
I gotta make it out the trenches.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yeah, right, Like that's something I think you'll always need, right,
You need that challenge, for sure. You always need that.
I feel like I'm just getting started. I gotta fight
my way.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Out of this. Yeah, for sure, to win. I feel
like you got to. You got to keep that mental
feel me. Otherwise, like the like love for everything just
dies down, the love and the passion. Is it easy
to lose that, like especially when Yeah, for sure, for sure,
I was. I was thinking about it. I was like
that was there was a little point between the short
line breakup, But I don't think it was just that.
It's just like life changes and you're not around the
(16:14):
same circles and you're not doing what you used to do,
so like life is different. So it's kind of like
it feels like weird. But on top of that, I
was like, I just realized I lost a lot of
good people at that very time in my life. So
I don't know if it was like I was going
through depression. I was going through a lot. Like all
my life was changing. I was like, it was my
first time living like in the suburbs. All my hommies
(16:35):
is dying, Like it was a lot going on in
my life. Yeah, a lot of change was going on.
It was uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It wasn't that you might be going through like possibly
what it was depression. Like after the fact.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I just realized that, like a few months ago, I
was on tour with a through another baby and he
like a baby therapist, Like man, he was just having
like a lot of deep conversations. And then I was
just like, yeah, I just realized I was depressed and
now I'm happy. Like I think that's how this project
was also like sell fired because I'm like it was
like I was getting my spark back. Yeah, yeah, that
(17:08):
spark was there.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I forgot how to be creative. I forgot to do
a lot of stuff. Yeah, I think that's I was
just like I don't pilot. I felt like that happened
to a lot of people, especially creatives. Of course, right
that writer's block or that you know, that's just that
that spark diminishes a little bit and you have to
find it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The money so you get like some type of lazy
like just coming into everything come easier.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Nah, I remember we're talking about money rolling loud. You
were like, nah, they just called me bro. I'm here, yo,
let's get it. No, but I'll be grinding so you
feel me. I'll be trying to get all the money.
But like I said, I'm still gonna turn down money
for sure. Money ain't everything.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, now we can't do no goofy shit. Never know,
I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Of course, Hey, I read that your mom used to
take you to Target to get CDs, Like when you
were good in school and a good boy?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Did you all have to finesse it? Because I really
wasn't good, but I changed the ds to be like,
I don't know how to finess, but you know I
would get good grades. It was just my behavior. Like right,
Like I remember my first freshman year of school, everyone's
fucking up because that's when you like get freedom so
(18:17):
you can class. You could do whatever you want, and
they're still passing to the next grade. So everybody started
fucking up. I had all a's my freshman year, and
now I start fucking up just like everybody else. It's
like me and you know, everyone else was fucking up
immediately because they're like, oh, it's our first time with freedom,
Like yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Hey, did you was there a line on an artist
or an album that triggered your brain to say I
can fucking do this and I could be great.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
At this m I think everything I grew up listening
to no, Actually, you know what, I didn't ever think
I could do it until I think, like around when
I was like nineteen, when I started when like Rocky
and all the young castles coming out, like I was like,
where everyone's young and fly like me. I was like
I could do this shit too, like, but all all
(19:05):
my life before that, before like seventeen eighteen, I didn't
think I could ever do it because it was no
like no one would really look up to right, like
nothing like no Spanish people in the game right now,
I know, like Cypress Hill was was coming up, but
it was like a different swag. You feel me, like
I've always the way I feel about myself like skater
like you feel me like I've had that swag. So
(19:25):
I feel like Cyprus Hill was more like like Chollo
type swag.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Like in my eyes, it was like a nineties right yeah,
like you know they were small, but that's how I
looked at it, like as a kid. For me, I
feel like your generation, I understand it more now. Yeah,
I think like fifty put a battery on a lot
of Yeah, yeah for sure, I was. I was like
the biggest G Unit fan.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Right, did you have the spinding g Unit change from
the mall? Nah? I had, I had. I had all
the clothes though, yeah, yeah, shows shirt everything.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You mentioned that there was not a lot of people
to look up to when you were starting, when you
were starting to get into it, Like, how does it
feel now knowing that people are looking up to you
not only as a rapper, but a Latino rapper.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I think that's one that's one of my greatest accomplishments
over everything, just being able to inspire everyone that I
have inspired, like and I love that, like we let
each other know that, like like Pestel Bloom of JLP.
Everyone everyone lets me know, like bro, like fuck with
you for me, like and you part of the reason,
like like for doing what we do. And I think
(20:29):
that's one of the greatest accomplishments ever.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, I saw you. I saw a video where you
ran in the Chino podcast and you're like, Yo, we
gotta get one.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like they all tell me, like bro, like it's you
swag everything, like we get it from you. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I remember him telling us that in an interview, like
right away. I mean you in the interview was Spanish.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's fire.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's crazy, right, you see you see and I got
I got getting from easy too. So it's like it
all like trickles. Then it's like off Correl feel exactly.
Was work a song that y'all already had now we
did that, we do that. We might have done that
the same week as the pop out. Yeah, there's that energy.
It was turned. I love that. I love that song.
(21:13):
I had that energy. You near it, you can feel it,
you can feel it. I was excited. I was excited.
Were about to go up.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I'm like, all these motherfuckers, Yo, they're going in And
it just felt like it just felt right. It felt the.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Way it did because it's like I felt like we
wasn't even barring up or nothing. We were just gassing up.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Though, Like it just felt like yeah, for sure, man,
So Yo, you mentioned you know you want to take
vacations somewhere else?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Do you want to go Grace for show that where else?
I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
For I was, yeah, about to go out there for school,
so we have to check out. It's yeah, I think
that's the best thing I ever did for my kids. Bro,
it's take the place, yeah, because they know the world's
bigger than where they're at.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And you're right, comfortability comfortable. So that's also a reason
for like my artistry now where I'm at and why
this project was so good. Think about like all the
places I've been in the life I live like, it's
like seeing so the world is bigger than like where
we're from. Growing up, we never went on I want
to start taking My son be asking me. He'd be like, Yo,
can you take me to this museum in New York?
(22:22):
And I'm like, Yo, you gotta slack. I got work.
But that's how I like that. That little work trip
changed my whole perspective. Like I was like, I gotta
do this travel with the tutor. Yeah, for sure, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
We always talk about that too, Like I think we
slack on celebrating, right, Like, you don't have to look
at it always as celebrating, but as like a moment
to appreciated that we do because and enjoy it with
the people that we love, right.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Exactly exactly, you do got to take that time and
do that make those moments for like family, because it's
like nothing at the end of the day, nothing is
more important than family.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Real, Come on, bro, come onyo. You're spending more money
on jewelry.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Or have we?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I've only bought two jury says. But before I bought
but before I bought the first one, I bought a house.
Before about the second one, I bought another house. That's
the way. I don't just spend money on Yeah, but
we got some change though, we got some change. Today,
I'm like, I'm like, what's going on here? I do
have to know who has better change? Rappers or athletes? Uh,
(23:28):
Rappers not because of the quality, because they want to
be us.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
That's how they got changed. But that's it, that's it,
you feel me. They want to be a lot of
athletes do think they can wrap. It's not even you know,
can't rap. Miles Bridges, he one of us.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
A fake athlete. Real rappers, one of us like an athlete.
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Now, rapper changs are different, bro, you know because it's
like yo, like the yeah, I've been seeing that because
of the video.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It was probably just good lighting them, but oh god, no,
I'm not. I'm not just so like it was pres
my ship hit crazy and something like don't hit crazy
and other like my ship real and and like it's like,
I don't know, I don't really give a about like that. Yeah,
I wasn't start talking about the qualities and anything, but
(24:25):
I really don't give a fuck. I mean I'm sending no, no, no,
but I'm spending yeah, yeah exactly. But I'm spending like
over fucking three hundred thousand on the chain too, and
there thousands on the chair. I'm like, I spent the
money like anybody that got something to say about it,
Like people in the comments, those are spectators. Like for me,
we're not gonna argue with them. You can't. Yeah, that's
that's how I said that. On the What It Is song,
(24:47):
I said, funk I look arguing, nigga, all get the
fucking we do talk to you you at that level.
I've always been like that. Yeah, even like when when
like people used to poppot on the internet like street shit.
I'm not going to argue with you know what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Right right, right right, because if it's really do won't
see each other, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, for sure, that's too good for me of that conversation.
That's too much for me. Bro shout out to Kailing
