Speaker 1 (00:01):
Real, real celebrity joined the Breakfast Morning Everybody's DJ, Envy,
angela Ye, Sharlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club
special guests in the building with us this morning. Rich
Rich said that we've been waiting to talk to you. Man.
(00:21):
We got to get right to it. It's a lot
going on with you in the news at we said,
you aren't talking about raping women. Man was blowing out
of a portion. Man. We heard the lyric though, it
did sound like but listen, if you listen, it's just
good music. I was good, but it wasn't. He posted
to lead the studio though, so you know it was
a studio leak song. I apologize for it, but I
aint what I'm on too little raping and you get
(00:44):
a lot of money, so I know you get yeah,
no doubt. Yeah, But who linked it? I don't know.
It was like over one hundred songs got leaked. Feel me.
I don't know, man, because I'd be doing so many
songs or the song like two years old inoy though,
so you know what I mean. I was yelling, I
don't know who leaked. I just said I was high.
I ain't was high, you know, And I wan't hide.
That was so on I made that man was still talking.
(01:07):
Why don't you speak anymore? We're still talk you know
what I mean? Right now, I'm just focused on my solo, correct,
you know what I mean? My brain already cut and
speak the same way I came in. Yeah, that side
of all they got back to me. I saw you
on the ESPN. You was on the highly question when
you said that you didn't you said it up set
you when he called you bitch Oni Kuan or something
like that, like that, like you don't vy kate that day,
I call him a bit. Yeah, they did that all
the time. I don't know people to compare that if
(01:32):
you don't take space, do you know what I mean?
Suthing like that? You know what I mean? So they
throwed me off. You feel that's a man, But like
I'm over it. You feel focused on myself right now.
But yeah, not talk to bird yesterday, you know what
I mean. I was trying to ask what the order
Philippe when we had went Philippe Philipps. Yeah to Philip
you child, ye think it was a mistake to sign
(01:54):
with rich Gang, I mean, not signed, but you think
it was a mistake like to be affiliated with that
man popping as a solo artist like you were. No,
I wouldn't say that because I learned from every situation.
I mean, you know what I'm saying. I just feel,
as you know, everything is a learning experience. If I
learned a lot from them, if film so like, No,
you know, I just use what you know. You used
to Jude, I did learn from them and just incorporated
(02:16):
what I got going on. It made me a more
powerful person. I always wondered, why would anybody sign the
bird man like no one seeing his history of how
he does. But were you signed? Philis? I never signed,
But I've never signed no paperwork out out. I'm an
independent artist, brood. You get that from that? Dad signed
(02:39):
James and signed that. You was part of that click
and you was also part of depth jam at that time?
Was that true? Now? That wasn't that what you like? Man?
I've been to the building, you know what I'm saying.
I made it abody from character everybody over there. But
we just never never got to that. Never I never
signed any paperwork. I'd be sick right now. I would
I would be saying to you, are sick. Maybe if
things would have worked out with Trinidad James and at
(03:00):
Death Jam. You know, for long term, they probably would
have tried to get you, but I tried to but
at the time, like it gotta be you gotta make sense.
I'm just not eager to sign something just to say
I signed, like it gottam it gotta be like what
I wanted something a long time. So if you can't
give me nothing a long time, I was the independent
and push myself the way I know. I want to
see myself rights training that I mean training that do
(03:20):
make record like you to me anyway? You know what
he turns it don't like like you know what I'm
saying that that's a strong word to describe it. But
you know what I would say this rich Im. We
had you up here pretty early on, you know, in
your career, and some people thought, oh he's gonna be
a one hit wonder with let's see where he goes,
and you really did prove everybody wrong. Yeah, I wouldn't
say that, like to me the whole time, Like I knew,
(03:40):

all the times. I don't know what they're talking about,
and I didn't even know at the same time. You

I read more than I do anything, you know what
I mean? I saw you said that the highly questionable

You know what I mean? Very talented though it's just
like I got. I picked up reading from jail though
(04:24):
after I graduated the three point two, so I'm like,
I could always read what It's a difference between reading
and reading what I understanding, run stretch through the words.
But you go back and ask me what cos you
read about? I don't know. Then I realized that how
powerful reading wasn't jail. Then I came home that why
I saw some of my versoul be so descripted? You
know what I mean? Jane Patterson for that, are you
surprised with your success because you have a huge success,
(04:45):

I'm sure in Atlanta they've done to ask you a million.
(13:48):
I don't try to. Yeah, man, I'm not an actor.
I don't want my life even seeing like that. I
feel as if it's too Hollywood, a tech from my
music career. I feel as if I'm doing too much,
you know what I mean. I had me audition for
The Bibber Shop three movies. I was already like actor. Man,
it's different, but what they want you to play? I
(14:09):
can screet dude, something something, dude, I don't know type
casting you. It ain't no bottom. Yeah, but it's different
because rapping it's just a platform, you know what I mean.
It's a great experience, even if I don't get the
party was still you know what I mean, A blessing
to meet the director, you know what I mean. So,
so you have the acting bug. Now you think you
want to do some movies and being some? Is that
something you're interested in? Movies? Not know once they call
(14:33):
them reality. None of they're not They're not real. I'm
atting it is still feel I'm atting. I'm getting paid
to act. You can't. You can't broadcast real just you
know what I mean? What's your relationship with a little way?
How's that relationship? Uh? Man? I ain't cool man, you
know what I'm saying. Like I've only met him like
a couple of times, but every time I met him,
(14:53):
meet him like never no bad bloody, I always speak
you know, I mean, we dip over whatnot, but like
you know what I mean. He took a couple of
shots at him though, and I'm never took a shot
at wain't no telling about him not being hot no more?
What lyrical was that we had to go awack and
get out and never liked this. Wain't whatsoever? Ain't one
of my biggest than flums. I've never thold one bad
shot at Yeah, dogs said that I don't remember, I know,
(15:14):
yeah not con not win man too much respect? One
do you feel like you getting mixed up in all
of that though, just because of all the issues that
are going on. Yeah, you thought a little shot but
it'd be okay though, as long as you can. I
always come back in the fan yourself. And now I'll
never do you know what I mean? If I get
caught up, I know can get myself out of it.
I never get in too deep. What about loyalty to
(15:35):
people that you work with though? Do you feel like, well,
now I gotta rock with you? Like it's not a
situation when you feel like your beef is my beef now,
it ain't never be because my circle is always might
have nothing but family around me, no new friends whatsoever.
You know what I'm saying, So like, I don't really
go out like that. I don't care about who you with,
like it's all about me and my team in the brand.
If it ain't about that, I don't want nothing to
(15:56):
do with it. But what made you want to take
a break from rich Gang? What was the thing that
you say I'm gonna fall back? And it wasn't so
much as a break, man, I had just to get bad,
you know, like you can reach a comment so at
nat you see stuff. I just everybody saying corn get
back to go back to you. You're not so one
never like no break like you say it was. I
was never engaged with them. You know, you just try
something out for a while, some great hit songs came
(16:17):
out of the world. Say it's a great, great experience, man,
you know learn I learned things. I learned how to
do things. I learned what not to do, you know
what I'm saying. So it's you feel like setting y'all
up though, like, like I mean, as far as he
didn't have nobody on his side, so let me go
grab these a couple of young hot dudes. And I
(16:38):
had been taught to bird Man probably like three years
ago before I even took out, and it was just
a matter just man him just really getting with each other.
And once we got with each other, kid like every day,
it really more like a summer thing because he was
in Anna so much. If him, well, you know, dropping
the mixtape, you know what I mean. Then we still
had so many other songs we were talking about the album,
but it never got to that point. But if we
(16:58):
would have dropped when I went by Heaven, I don't
have them, No, I would say, it's no bad blood
with me toward them, you know, I mean or anybody like,
I just want to focus on my brand and me
if you mean, get back to like that the way
I came in by myself, I'm gonna leave by myself
the album coming out, Like I would say, fine, major
if it makes sense? You know what I mean? Bad,
(17:19):
you gotta give me more than I already got th
man what I'm gonna feature on two platinum song, got
my own goal song. So like I need to chat bro.
You see, like, yeah, I'm pretty sure, like you know,
like not saying I would go platinum or not, but
I think I would sell. I think I was honestly,
I think I would say, bro, you know what I mean,
even if it was some garbage, but I know I
wouln't putting my garage on anything. But you know what
(17:39):
I mean. I think I would say it. But I
just would need a bad and maybe a label situation
on your own artists? Would you want that? Not? Right now,
I've just been focused on producers, Like how can I
focus on another artist? I would never want to sign
an artist and self, you know what I'm saying, like
and don't be real, I would never let it art
be bigger than me when me myself. That makes sense?
(18:02):
Do that though, but like your average artists do that.
He signed a competition so then he's no, he's no
longer about fact that if he's under me and trying
to stifle. But you never heard somebody say that nobody.
I'm be rid because I'm the artist like I rather
focused on myself post to focus on. I know I've
signed you, but I want to sign a producer to
make my sound better. Once I feel I don't have
it on more or then I might then I might
(18:23):
consider sign harder. But I'm not an interesting artist. I
just want to produce. No and as impersonators. I here
running around doing shows as you. Oh yeah, does that
make you feel like you need to grind harder? Because
if people can pretend to be you, Nah, I want
to said, I pretend to be may be most of
a yes, they do that. I need to do that.
Back in my day when it was like a franchise
boys for a start, nobody knew who they was. They
(18:44):
had a hot record, get like three guys white, that's it.
Got the franchise boys here. And I don't did that
like once or twice. But nah, I didn't be feeling that.
I just saw you working on they're trying to not
come on. Mind. You can't duplicate greatness bro, And that's
just how I look at Greatness cannot be duplicated. Man,
Why don't you Why don't you see me? You get
the real man, I'm not gonna should call you don't
get the real whether you like it or not. If
(19:05):
youbot do put some braids into the crazy dance people
keep the life low. Yeah, it ain't even that though.
I just had it. I would vamp my image, man,
even from the first time. So I had the autro. Yeah,
abody started getting it. I started seeing the rich hold
me fade everywhere, you know what I mean. So I
just wanted to revamp myself, but not go too far
fetching left field if it still stayed me. Now, who

You had to put a pistel on somebody she was dating. Nah,
(20:11):

supposed to do. I mean, don't you want her to
be happy with somebody? But you don't want to be
in love and have a man right now? Rich rich
Like I thought the best thing for her. You don't
dat nobody either, So you don't date nobody. I just
(20:31):
have friends so she can have friends. Nah. You know

she can't. I feel like she's focused on being a mother.
So our first child mothers. Do you love them? Yeah?
You just never asked what y'all still love them? But
then you could just not dat nobody else and focus
(20:51):
on being a father. I could, but you know what
I'm saying. You have to have to look man, I'm

rich homie name never came about. I got locked up
and I never just went away from everybody to start
coming up with a different name. I just stay down
the rich home. Did it bother you when they come
up with all these different nick names to be like
if the rape homie quan rich homie bad man? I don't.
I don't get mad. You know they laugh at all?
(22:35):
You don't I see that? Like person, what makes you mad?
Like I'm having a friend in this game. Man, you're
getting mad. Take advantage of emotions. So no emotions, man,
Just have fun. Don't want you love to do if
(22:56):
but you gotta think you don't what you want to do.
So like whatever you say, it's not gonna try in
my mind anything because I know where I want to go. Mom.
You know what I'm saying my mind, I already said.
Now people also got mad at you up because you
said you like when white people use the word. Yeah,
all right, you can't. Come on, man, you go do
a show? Have I go to do it show? They
were like corn, do the clean version? So I'll be
out that saying my heather? How can I say my heither?
(23:18):
And they just keep saying class mad like like that,
come on man, like that just it just enhanced my performan.
That turned me up. People say it again, I put it,
let him say it. As long as you're singing a song, you' like?
What about in real life? If it's not the sixies,
no moment? If I really feel like the worst? In
addition there how much get you? What about what the
(23:40):
R at the end of that's different? See you just
want bad? Oh my god, you like us? You don't
got no? But you know what I'm saying, Like you
can't just be like we don't got an art in
like if you and oh no, it's different, but like,
come on, man, we're you someone we don't it's not
it's not the sixies noment, But I think with all
the racial tension in the police group, you know. Yeah,
but I went like I went't thinking about that when
(24:02):
I said, and I still don't be like, I don't.
I don't mind using the word depending on how they
use it. Like I said, it's a bit it's there
about the vocabalier, even if you don't hear them saying.
I bet they said, do you have a problem with
the law enforcement in Atlanta? Any police? Nah man polician
showed me love. I got pulled over before they let
me go. I just want to take a selfie like
(24:22):
the Colt, not the Cave County. I don't really fool
or an over there. If you look at the beginning
of some type boy video, we had got out of
them for real, and I hain't really been on that's
the calf since then. That's where I'm from though, while
y'all feeling the video, yeah before okay, now, I was
on the way to the club, but finishing the video
in the club. So I just end up getting the
flied that it was a rate like a great, big
old raid. Now, when you see stories like with having
(24:45):
the Chinks drugs ressed in peace, do you worry about
that kind of stuff like jealousy, envy, hated, trying to
take you out that I worry about because you got
it's always somebody from me the city. Bro. Go back
to the Dobe situation. Dobey didn't get murdered outside of
the city, got murdered at home, you know what I mean.
That'd be the word part about it all, because you get, hey,
you got, you got another city of the people love you.
They pay their money to you know what I mean.
A promoter not gonna bring you here to people don't
(25:06):
want to see you. So y'all don't never worry about
anything happening to me outside him Atlanta, Georgia. It was
my new house that I just moved so far, Like
I'm in Georgia, but it's not the city. So I
don't even really leave home because I know, like some
people want to see me up, but everybody not excited
about my sitists like I'm excited, you know what I mean.
Everybody don't want to see me win. So that's why
(25:27):
I said, when I see you pulling up on guys,
I'm like, damn, why are you doing that? Because Atlanta small? Yeah,
one day your girl, you know what I'm saying, yeah,
I had a difficult situation. Yeah, man, my dad a
very difficult situation, but he made it through. I got
shot if it had just come from hate, though, I
don't know if you full time but didn't shoot him
because you was his son. I don't know what the
(25:49):
motive of my dad against shot. We still don't know
to the day. So you know what I mean, I
still walk home down on my show, see what I mean.
But he survival, you know what I mean? Seven two
days in the hospital. Why, yeah, that's what kind of
precautions do you take? Beef security? You know what I mean?
Just start taking it a little more serious. I mean,
that's not how to real. Like every I don't want
(26:09):
to see me happy everybody. I don't care. Yeah, but
I don't want to see me smile despite how much
I get back to the city. Sorry, somebody gonna be hey,
I thought we get back every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
You know what I'm saying? That makes that actually make
them matter sometime. But like why old man, ain't nobody
else doing it? Man? Listen, I did in my hometown
(26:30):
most quarters, I Caroline. I give away about a thousand
turkeys over the path then giving I had a dude,
tell me, man, do you know nobody wants you to
dry as turkeys? Keys? Dried? Oni? Why are you mad
that I'm giving back? It didn't like we were giving
away bites. I did like the hood on front at
(26:53):
the Walmart, and I see a lot of people I
went to high school with. You could see some people
who were like genuinely having for you, and some people
shake my hand. I can feel like madness in the
shape like damn you made it now? I mean in
high school where i'd be how you honest? I never
thought I never looked at myself as being a rupper.
Never Like you know, you vote the most successful person,
it would never be me and I know the most
(27:15):
you know what I mean, class clown, I got both
voted bitch rish. I mean you've been doing that dance
for a long I got sense him, and that's all
I'm not. I'm not a dancing person, bro, Honestly, I'm
not a dancing person at all. I've just been a
studio cron. I know people talk crazy to you on
Twitter too. Do you ever feel like, all right, I
gotta find this person because you see that happening all
the time, tell you I took the notifications on my phone.
(27:37):
I don't Twitter only alerts me when I get on it.
So like even if from Instagram, the media social media life,
I don't only see it when I want to get
on it, right, feel if they're gonna say everything, So
if you don't, don't even sign up for it yet
to get a snapchat though, and everybody keeps saying that's
the move. But I don't be relent to lie. I
didn't even bring my phone today. I don't really be
into the phone thing like that. It slows me down
(28:00):
the day. We gotta do a lot of pressing press,
so that's what my mind is a big press. I'm
gonna tell me how I mean. The biggest thing, and
that's why I want to get clanses from you. The
biggest thing people always question you about is your sexuality.
They think because of your dance, because of the way
you dressed, like he must be gay. Then they think
of a young thug calling you hell being big. Clearly
that's not the case. Oh man, leave me ten minutes, man,
(28:20):
ten minutes. But the first time I came, I think
I was showing that at the time. You know it
didn't I brought from me asked, oh my gosh, this guy. Yeah,
(28:41):
I haven't coming far cleaning us. It was an assistant
or something man that Finde hired and said, also you
with in New York, but some because yesterday I tried.
I wasn't gonna tell him, but yesterday I was coming
doing stuff and Papa rock so crazy up here. So
she sent me a picture already, he said, yeah. Like
(29:02):
so like she said, you know, your baby mama is
very pretty too. She might messing one of the Hawks.
It's something at some point, all right, I wonna be
no playoffs. Playoffs you can conversponders to be over care
taking it all. You ain't rooting for your home team
(29:23):
Brown from Atlanta, man, but come on, we know that's
the goat. Yeah, I don't want mine checking out a game,
not but like, I'm not gonna even lie I kind
of the city though. How does that work for you? Now?
Do you pay for tickets or they'd be like not
going to sit courts. You start playoffs, you're gonna pay.
But during the rugling season and I was just agetting
you people from the house and hit me up. Yeah
you know what I mean? Like the marketing people, they
(29:44):
give you tickets or whatnot? My three games, I'd be
so big. I want my dad every sign though. Yeah,
we love Yeah, I love sports. Though I watched sports
on them before I wake up. I only watching news
sports something that's news to me. What don't you put
the sign with Z? At one point we're just talking,
you know, we just did a song. You know, people
see you with somebody, you know what, I think you're
gonna sign? Yeah, but I'm sure a lot of people
(30:05):
try to sign you are trying to sign you. I'm
sure he put his bid in. I'm sure a lot
of people did. All right, they don't put the bid in.
That's the that's the funny part. The bid would kick
it might talk about it. What you know you're a bid? Well?
The reason why is he's doing so successful? What number? Yeah,
And that's what I think a lot of people be
afraid though. But this is my thing. You're old g
in Atlanta. If you TI you, jeez, they see y'all. Ge.
(30:29):
He just hit me up to from jail. He did
they see you do a lot of song? Who he
got a studio in jail? What he doing? How he's
signed it? So clear man, I was listening to song
like is he in jail? When he recorded it? He
hit me on Instagram. Yeah, like you'll be You'll be surprised,
Man'll be surprised. But I think they see y'all from
the beginning beginning. They could grab y'all and put y'all
(30:51):
on paperwork before everything pop off. I never understand why
that don't happen, because I'm tell you, I don't believe, man,
and I don't don't believe. When I first came sound
signing like Future that the biggest criticism. Still they don't
a little bit, not as much though now I feel
like if I've I've incorporated my own sound, you know,
I feel as if I've beat them in the head
(31:12):
the nor of my sound, like to let him know,
like what if I'm alone? Maybe we just sound like that.
If so, you wouldn't sign with the artists though, being
that your feeling is as an artist, you wouldn't want
somebody to do better. I wouldn't say that if I
artists offered me the write normbal what's the numbers they
put that out there in the universe. It ain't really
a long You gotta be gotta make sense. You gotta
be felt. Probably it's a whole structure of like a
(31:33):
not just it can't even know three million, it would
be three. I take a ten with the right percentage,
like I don't even gotta take that. I take a
probably like a cell. But the percentages important. The paperwork
got to be man, come on, man, I need Johnny
cockering to look over the world. Not for real, that's
what it's about. Long that's gonna happen with yea because
(31:55):
lovely people didn't get the money you offer me too,
me and I'm so going to million my paperwork so
ilf though up. I don't eat now, I don't win.
I can't feed my family. Then the two millions with couples,
I got to give it back if in so, I'm
good man. You think it's still a misconception that a
Southern folks is dumb. I ain't dumb. I don't think
(32:16):
you are. I'm just saying, oh, that's a lot of
people say what Southern people don't you know? Oh yeah,
they do say that. Uh that's what I'm saying. They
were talking about me yesterday and I red some people
at a bar because man, I shot a video for it.
Was good yesterday. They will talk about the way I talked.
I know I don't talk like a New Yorker. I
know I talk like a Southern you know what I mean.
(32:36):
But that do mean you dumb? Now I'm here, You're
breaking down the centages and you know what number you focus?
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, but now, yeah, we
do get that though. I don't know why they do
the South like that. I think Atlanta getting better than
South Carolina. Never again, I love South Carolina made a
lot of money. I was gonna say that Carolina I love.
(32:57):
I would say nothing bad about Carolina. I love Carolina
period from South, from the South hand or both. Pay good, bro,
absolutely double as the best, like one of the best
weekends and my whole life. We do a party that
every year, many party. I love listen Manu Bro. Everybody comes,
like you know she's having from Georgia. Came every year, Yeah,
(33:17):
every year, every year, like so like, yeah, man, I
have nothing bad to say about the Caroline the other
Dan like I don't like the football team games. I
don't like the means. I'm a cowboy friend. Oh yeah,
you know, I'm a Falcon fan. They win the same conference.
But I like Cam Newton because he's from Georgia, so
like I do watch the game still, you know what
I mean that man Cam or man Cam player the
same party together. Well y'all little yeah, exactly right. Yeah,
(33:41):
well wide receiver, quarterback, quarterback. Yeah, that's accounts got too
big you know out there. That was the end of
the same side getting scholarship. I thought, if you get
the scholarships office, yea and baseball see that. I see
my I was good in baseball. Baseball. I thought it
was gonna be my ticket and I really still thought it.
Wish it could be. They pay more than rapper. I
mean then any sport now to be honest and pay
(34:02):
more than any sport. But now pretty good, Oh mister
baseball nine grade? So what happened? I had the conception
of just being a street person brow dope. No, you
just don't want to now, you know, Like, uh, okay,
I I got a sept to the School for a
Valley which is in Georgia. Yeah, probably like uh what
(34:23):
it called an HBCU. So it's probably like I want
to have out of the city. I'm so I'm so
gone within the city. I got to be in the
city every day. I gotta be around my home buds
every day. I don't want to go out and venture
to do something new, you know what I mean, or
even try to get them to come. I just want
to stay home. And then what it was, stayed home
start breaking the house and went to jail breaking the houses. Yeah, okay, damn.
(34:46):
So you could have been on the mound right now
throwing for the braves, making three hundred million dollars a yell,
but you just didn't want to leave for hour to
have it. That happens. But that's a common story. I'm
just being real, bro. I wanted to be so. I'm
so caught up in what's going on every day. And
at that time I and Facebook that might have been
known how to staying out there. If I couldn't have
a new outfite for Facebook, I went and stating it.
I didn't even going to school. My mama read it
(35:08):
scruggling to feed three of us? If I read stay
over her help us. But as much as I can,
what made you be a kick door person as opposed
to selling lope? That's that's what I got to introduced to.
I thought I was going to custom grass. One day
I went from crane grass the kick and don't get
caught the first time I went, Really, man, I got
caught the first time I ever didn't. I like, it's
(35:30):
so dull, but they do it this way, it'll work.
So I got out of jail that saying the next
day I did, uh burglarizer how the net Friday? So
out of that man, Well, I'm making like ten ten
fifteen thousand a week. Once I prefitted what you was doing,
like stealing and then going to pond stuff. Nah, she didn't.
She in the South flash flashed that TV. Yes, TVs
and electronics worth emotion, you know what I mean. So
(35:51):
if I got a fifty inch, it's five hundred forty
four hundred and et cetera, et cetera. So my thing
was but like a lot of the girl was because
they was just put me on. Some of they due
so the man mad. You don't rob them so many
Atlanta Hawks and they retired. Now I retired now and
over the hustle then, man, you know, I miss nothing
(36:13):
that I'm proud of because I'm proud of what I
do now and I can look back at it like
and that was stupid to me. You ever get the
urge to steal? Now, nice ass hotels like I take
that flash man, I mean so word they take. Man. Listen, man,
I'm in the hotel room. They steal from me. They
go on my room, take my mind in my pocket.
But I said, yeah, called, I say, god, you get
me back. Thing. Ain't taking on my TVs out of
(36:33):
my house. You know what I'm saying, just calling them.
You dude, got a little burglar look about you. I
don't man, man a little man the hustle. We appreciate
you joining us. Glad you came. I appreciate it. Man,
appreciate it. Told me quann is the breakfast cloud. Good morning,
Real, real celebrity joined the Breakfast Morning Everybody's DJ, Envy,
angela Ye, Sharlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club
special guests in the building with us this morning. Rich
Rich said that we've been waiting to talk to you. Man.
(00:21):
We got to get right to it. It's a lot
going on with you in the news at we said,
you aren't talking about raping women. Man was blowing out
of a portion. Man. We heard the lyric though, it
did sound like but listen, if you listen, it's just
good music. I was good, but it wasn't. He posted
to lead the studio though, so you know it was
a studio leak song. I apologize for it, but I
aint what I'm on too little raping and you get
(00:44):
a lot of money, so I know you get yeah,
no doubt. Yeah, But who linked it? I don't know.
It was like over one hundred songs got leaked. Feel me.
I don't know, man, because I'd be doing so many
songs or the song like two years old inoy though,
so you know what I mean. I was yelling, I
don't know who leaked. I just said I was high.
I ain't was high, you know, And I wan't hide.
That was so on I made that man was still talking.
(01:07):
Why don't you speak anymore? We're still talk you know
what I mean? Right now, I'm just focused on my solo, correct,
you know what I mean? My brain already cut and
speak the same way I came in. Yeah, that side
of all they got back to me. I saw you
on the ESPN. You was on the highly question when
you said that you didn't you said it up set
you when he called you bitch Oni Kuan or something
like that, like that, like you don't vy kate that day,
I call him a bit. Yeah, they did that all
the time. I don't know people to compare that if
(01:32):
you don't take space, do you know what I mean?
Suthing like that? You know what I mean? So they
throwed me off. You feel that's a man, But like
I'm over it. You feel focused on myself right now.
But yeah, not talk to bird yesterday, you know what
I mean. I was trying to ask what the order
Philippe when we had went Philippe Philipps. Yeah to Philip
you child, ye think it was a mistake to sign
(01:54):
with rich Gang, I mean, not signed, but you think
it was a mistake like to be affiliated with that
man popping as a solo artist like you were. No,
I wouldn't say that because I learned from every situation.
I mean, you know what I'm saying. I just feel,
as you know, everything is a learning experience. If I
learned a lot from them, if film so like, No,
you know, I just use what you know. You used
to Jude, I did learn from them and just incorporated
(02:16):
what I got going on. It made me a more
powerful person. I always wondered, why would anybody sign the
bird man like no one seeing his history of how
he does. But were you signed? Philis? I never signed,
But I've never signed no paperwork out out. I'm an
independent artist, brood. You get that from that? Dad signed
(02:39):
James and signed that. You was part of that click
and you was also part of depth jam at that time?
Was that true? Now? That wasn't that what you like? Man?
I've been to the building, you know what I'm saying.
I made it abody from character everybody over there. But
we just never never got to that. Never I never
signed any paperwork. I'd be sick right now. I would
I would be saying to you, are sick. Maybe if
things would have worked out with Trinidad James and at
(03:00):
Death Jam. You know, for long term, they probably would
have tried to get you, but I tried to but
at the time, like it gotta be you gotta make sense.
I'm just not eager to sign something just to say
I signed, like it gottam it gotta be like what
I wanted something a long time. So if you can't
give me nothing a long time, I was the independent
and push myself the way I know. I want to
see myself rights training that I mean training that do
(03:20):
make record like you to me anyway? You know what
he turns it don't like like you know what I'm
saying that that's a strong word to describe it. But
you know what I would say this rich Im. We
had you up here pretty early on, you know, in
your career, and some people thought, oh he's gonna be
a one hit wonder with let's see where he goes,
and you really did prove everybody wrong. Yeah, I wouldn't
say that, like to me the whole time, Like I knew,
(03:40):
you know what the first time I came Sarlomin Hill, Yeah,
I saw he was in the liveyard. He was like, yeah,
he's not gonna be out of here. Yes you did.
That happened a lot did look like when I first,
but I ain't never think it wasn't be nothing. I'm

all the times. I don't know what they're talking about,
and I didn't even know at the same time. You
know your Judge book by a cover though, you know
what I'm saying. Like me, I had a lot of sense. Man,
I read more than I do anything, you know what
I mean? I saw you said that the highly questionable
What do you what do you like to read? James Patterson?
You know what I mean? Very talented though it's just
like I got. I picked up reading from jail though
(04:24):
after I graduated the three point two, so I'm like,
I could always read what It's a difference between reading
and reading what I understanding, run stretch through the words.
But you go back and ask me what cos you
read about? I don't know. Then I realized that how
powerful reading wasn't jail. Then I came home that why
I saw some of my versoul be so descripted? You
know what I mean? Jane Patterson for that, are you
surprised with your success because you have a huge success,
(04:45):
a huge following, and you are independent. Yes, oh yeah,
I'm very I'm very excited, you know what I'm saying.
Even though Devil Keith throwing curveballs at me, I got
a guy on my corners. I don't really be trigger man.
You put up a bunch of videos and this was
a couple of months ago, maybe maybe eight now months ago,

kids following you with and chasing you, and and is
that you ever stop you something like damn, I made

leap because kids do listen. Man, They really take everything,
answer to the head, or you don't want I don't

I was just rapping. Bill Corby was a little guy too.
You do that. Man, gonna be outside, but you're not

breeds of a lot of people taking side that you
were coming at you. How difficult is that? It's just life, man?

They hate it on Jesus man, I'm not being real like.
It's life like. They're gonna hate on you whenever. Regardless,
people are gonna talk they're not talking. You're not You're
not doing something right, even if it's bad, if it's good,
as long as your enemies feel if you're doing something right.
Didn't really bother you to be called like Bay and
Hubby and then have people coming at you like why

You were drunk, drunk, no matter what happens. I was
(13:05):
drunk when I did that rape lyric. I was drunk.
I don't know nothing. I was drunk. I don't know. Nah,
people don't know I was. They're trying to hip on
music a little bit, you know what I mean? Come on,
y'all were like naked and bad do y'all luck naked

(13:26):
got to earn it. I just you know, like, I
don't know. I'm just so I just like music, man.
I might just be you know, we're chilling about what
you're working on. You know, might assist. You said like
this said like that, you know, talking about music, brother,
I only ain't gonna happen for her. I don't think, Nah,
it ain't happening. How many people have tried to get
you to do a guest appearance on Loving Hip Hop?
I'm sure in Atlanta they've done to ask you a million.
(13:48):
I don't try to. Yeah, man, I'm not an actor.
I don't want my life even seeing like that. I
feel as if it's too Hollywood, a tech from my
music career. I feel as if I'm doing too much,
you know what I mean. I had me audition for
The Bibber Shop three movies. I was already like actor. Man,
it's different, but what they want you to play? I
(14:09):
can screet dude, something something, dude, I don't know type
casting you. It ain't no bottom. Yeah, but it's different
because rapping it's just a platform, you know what I mean.
It's a great experience, even if I don't get the
party was still you know what I mean, A blessing
to meet the director, you know what I mean. So,
so you have the acting bug. Now you think you
want to do some movies and being some? Is that
something you're interested in? Movies? Not know once they call
(14:33):
them reality. None of they're not They're not real. I'm
atting it is still feel I'm atting. I'm getting paid
to act. You can't. You can't broadcast real just you
know what I mean? What's your relationship with a little way?
How's that relationship? Uh? Man? I ain't cool man, you
know what I'm saying. Like I've only met him like
a couple of times, but every time I met him,
(14:53):
meet him like never no bad bloody, I always speak
you know, I mean, we dip over whatnot, but like
you know what I mean. He took a couple of
shots at him though, and I'm never took a shot
at wain't no telling about him not being hot no more?
What lyrical was that we had to go awack and
get out and never liked this. Wain't whatsoever? Ain't one
of my biggest than flums. I've never thold one bad
shot at Yeah, dogs said that I don't remember, I know,
(15:14):
yeah not con not win man too much respect? One
do you feel like you getting mixed up in all
of that though, just because of all the issues that
are going on. Yeah, you thought a little shot but
it'd be okay though, as long as you can. I
always come back in the fan yourself. And now I'll
never do you know what I mean? If I get
caught up, I know can get myself out of it.
I never get in too deep. What about loyalty to
(15:35):
people that you work with though? Do you feel like, well,
now I gotta rock with you? Like it's not a
situation when you feel like your beef is my beef now,
it ain't never be because my circle is always might
have nothing but family around me, no new friends whatsoever.
You know what I'm saying, So like, I don't really
go out like that. I don't care about who you with,
like it's all about me and my team in the brand.
If it ain't about that, I don't want nothing to
(15:56):
do with it. But what made you want to take
a break from rich Gang? What was the thing that
you say I'm gonna fall back? And it wasn't so
much as a break, man, I had just to get bad,
you know, like you can reach a comment so at
nat you see stuff. I just everybody saying corn get
back to go back to you. You're not so one
never like no break like you say it was. I
was never engaged with them. You know, you just try
something out for a while, some great hit songs came
(16:17):
out of the world. Say it's a great, great experience, man,
you know learn I learned things. I learned how to
do things. I learned what not to do, you know
what I'm saying. So it's you feel like setting y'all
up though, like, like I mean, as far as he
didn't have nobody on his side, so let me go
grab these a couple of young hot dudes. And I
(16:38):
had been taught to bird Man probably like three years
ago before I even took out, and it was just
a matter just man him just really getting with each other.
And once we got with each other, kid like every day,
it really more like a summer thing because he was
in Anna so much. If him, well, you know, dropping
the mixtape, you know what I mean. Then we still
had so many other songs we were talking about the album,
but it never got to that point. But if we
(16:58):
would have dropped when I went by Heaven, I don't
have them, No, I would say, it's no bad blood
with me toward them, you know, I mean or anybody like,
I just want to focus on my brand and me
if you mean, get back to like that the way
I came in by myself, I'm gonna leave by myself
the album coming out, Like I would say, fine, major
if it makes sense? You know what I mean? Bad,
(17:19):
you gotta give me more than I already got th
man what I'm gonna feature on two platinum song, got
my own goal song. So like I need to chat bro.
You see, like, yeah, I'm pretty sure, like you know,
like not saying I would go platinum or not, but
I think I would sell. I think I was honestly,
I think I would say, bro, you know what I mean,
even if it was some garbage, but I know I
wouln't putting my garage on anything. But you know what
(17:39):
I mean. I think I would say it. But I
just would need a bad and maybe a label situation
on your own artists? Would you want that? Not? Right now,
I've just been focused on producers, Like how can I
focus on another artist? I would never want to sign
an artist and self, you know what I'm saying, like
and don't be real, I would never let it art
be bigger than me when me myself. That makes sense?
(18:02):
Do that though, but like your average artists do that.
He signed a competition so then he's no, he's no
longer about fact that if he's under me and trying
to stifle. But you never heard somebody say that nobody.
I'm be rid because I'm the artist like I rather
focused on myself post to focus on. I know I've
signed you, but I want to sign a producer to
make my sound better. Once I feel I don't have
it on more or then I might then I might
(18:23):
consider sign harder. But I'm not an interesting artist. I
just want to produce. No and as impersonators. I here
running around doing shows as you. Oh yeah, does that
make you feel like you need to grind harder? Because
if people can pretend to be you, Nah, I want
to said, I pretend to be may be most of
a yes, they do that. I need to do that.
Back in my day when it was like a franchise
boys for a start, nobody knew who they was. They
(18:44):
had a hot record, get like three guys white, that's it.
Got the franchise boys here. And I don't did that
like once or twice. But nah, I didn't be feeling that.
I just saw you working on they're trying to not
come on. Mind. You can't duplicate greatness bro, And that's
just how I look at Greatness cannot be duplicated. Man,
Why don't you Why don't you see me? You get
the real man, I'm not gonna should call you don't
get the real whether you like it or not. If
(19:05):
youbot do put some braids into the crazy dance people
keep the life low. Yeah, it ain't even that though.
I just had it. I would vamp my image, man,
even from the first time. So I had the autro. Yeah,
abody started getting it. I started seeing the rich hold
me fade everywhere, you know what I mean. So I
just wanted to revamp myself, but not go too far
fetching left field if it still stayed me. Now, who
(19:27):
was royally rich? Royal Royal? That's my roy rich Lamar. Yeah,
that's my son. Yeah. Are you and the mother name Ambarella?
Are you guys still together now that you my baby door?
Like you know what I'm saying, youbody, she scraped fellow? Okay,
you know what I mean. But we're not the yether
because they was definitely on Instagram posting pictures. I'm a
(19:50):
family guy now, like I'm a family guy. I'm at
all the birthdaye it dont don't care what it is
like I got to beat up that my son. If
I got to beat up I don't care who even
if I called somebody. You will not disrespect you know
what I'm saying, point blank, period, some mother, my child.
You don't just go like that on another man. Huh.
You had to put a pistel on somebody she was dating. Nah,
(20:11):
she don't date nobody. You're supposed to do what she's
supposed to do. I mean, don't you want her to
be happy with somebody? But you don't want to be
in love and have a man right now? Rich rich
Like I thought the best thing for her. You don't
dat nobody either, So you don't date nobody. I just
(20:31):
have friends so she can have friends. Nah. You know
I ain't being I don't know what I'm being, but
she can't. I feel like she's focused on being a mother.
So our first child mothers. Do you love them? Yeah?
You just never asked what y'all still love them? But
then you could just not dat nobody else and focus
(20:51):
on being a father. I could, but you know what
I'm saying. You have to have to look man, I'm
a rapper. I'm out here, you know, what I'm saying. Yeah,
it's the fun thing about it though, Like how long
I've probably been talking to I'm like seven, Yeah, so
she wol have a photo of money. She don't broke
living my mom with no bed like your fa go back,
(21:12):
you know what I mean. But I'll be telling like
I'm on a trip, you know, like I'm only twenty five,
I'm a rapper around. Yeah, I just don't want to
settle down now. But if I was, everybody know it
would be hard. I just don't want to settle down that.
That's how I'm still young, enjoying my life. Just be honest,
that's all. She can't have no friend, not going for that.
But I know you don't think she's not doing anything.
(21:33):
I bet you every dollar I'm packaging that rich when
we got every item that it ain't even like you know,
like I don't know, get off, Let get out of
that man. When did you add the rich to your name?
Was you hold me quan when you was living with
your mom? On? Yeah, I've been rich on my teen Yeah,
(21:54):
when I was broke, I would call him because I
never meant rich as in money though it's always been
riches in spirit. My mom always taught me that got
put it in the air too. I'm gonna be rich
homie quo. Yeah, and the name so long, I think
I thought it would catch people, you know what I mean,
Like I ain't always like the first middle last night,
you know what I mean? But you get what you
get is what you see rich I'm calling. They came
in and the closet like teen years ago, I was.
(22:14):
That's not I was still in high school when the
rich homie name never came about. I got locked up
and I never just went away from everybody to start
coming up with a different name. I just stay down
the rich home. Did it bother you when they come
up with all these different nick names to be like
if the rape homie quan rich homie bad man? I don't.
I don't get mad. You know they laugh at all?
(22:35):
You don't I see that? Like person, what makes you mad?
Like I'm having a friend in this game. Man, you're
getting mad. Take advantage of emotions. So no emotions, man,
Just have fun. Don't want you love to do if
(22:56):
but you gotta think you don't what you want to do.
So like whatever you say, it's not gonna try in
my mind anything because I know where I want to go. Mom.
You know what I'm saying my mind, I already said.
Now people also got mad at you up because you
said you like when white people use the word. Yeah,
all right, you can't. Come on, man, you go do
a show? Have I go to do it show? They
were like corn, do the clean version? So I'll be
out that saying my heather? How can I say my heither?
(23:18):
And they just keep saying class mad like like that,
come on man, like that just it just enhanced my performan.
That turned me up. People say it again, I put it,
let him say it. As long as you're singing a song, you' like?
What about in real life? If it's not the sixies,
no moment? If I really feel like the worst? In
addition there how much get you? What about what the
(23:40):
R at the end of that's different? See you just
want bad? Oh my god, you like us? You don't
got no? But you know what I'm saying, Like you
can't just be like we don't got an art in
like if you and oh no, it's different, but like,
come on, man, we're you someone we don't it's not
it's not the sixies noment, But I think with all
the racial tension in the police group, you know. Yeah,
but I went like I went't thinking about that when
(24:02):
I said, and I still don't be like, I don't.
I don't mind using the word depending on how they
use it. Like I said, it's a bit it's there
about the vocabalier, even if you don't hear them saying.
I bet they said, do you have a problem with
the law enforcement in Atlanta? Any police? Nah man polician
showed me love. I got pulled over before they let
me go. I just want to take a selfie like
(24:22):
the Colt, not the Cave County. I don't really fool
or an over there. If you look at the beginning
of some type boy video, we had got out of
them for real, and I hain't really been on that's
the calf since then. That's where I'm from though, while
y'all feeling the video, yeah before okay, now, I was
on the way to the club, but finishing the video
in the club. So I just end up getting the
flied that it was a rate like a great, big
old raid. Now, when you see stories like with having
(24:45):
the Chinks drugs ressed in peace, do you worry about
that kind of stuff like jealousy, envy, hated, trying to
take you out that I worry about because you got
it's always somebody from me the city. Bro. Go back
to the Dobe situation. Dobey didn't get murdered outside of
the city, got murdered at home, you know what I mean.
That'd be the word part about it all, because you get, hey,
you got, you got another city of the people love you.
They pay their money to you know what I mean.
A promoter not gonna bring you here to people don't
(25:06):
want to see you. So y'all don't never worry about
anything happening to me outside him Atlanta, Georgia. It was
my new house that I just moved so far, Like
I'm in Georgia, but it's not the city. So I
don't even really leave home because I know, like some
people want to see me up, but everybody not excited
about my sitists like I'm excited, you know what I mean.
Everybody don't want to see me win. So that's why
(25:27):
I said, when I see you pulling up on guys,
I'm like, damn, why are you doing that? Because Atlanta small? Yeah,
one day your girl, you know what I'm saying, yeah,
I had a difficult situation. Yeah, man, my dad a
very difficult situation, but he made it through. I got
shot if it had just come from hate, though, I
don't know if you full time but didn't shoot him
because you was his son. I don't know what the
(25:49):
motive of my dad against shot. We still don't know
to the day. So you know what I mean, I
still walk home down on my show, see what I mean.
But he survival, you know what I mean? Seven two
days in the hospital. Why, yeah, that's what kind of
precautions do you take? Beef security? You know what I mean?
Just start taking it a little more serious. I mean,
that's not how to real. Like every I don't want
(26:09):
to see me happy everybody. I don't care. Yeah, but
I don't want to see me smile despite how much
I get back to the city. Sorry, somebody gonna be hey,
I thought we get back every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
You know what I'm saying? That makes that actually make
them matter sometime. But like why old man, ain't nobody
else doing it? Man? Listen, I did in my hometown
(26:30):
most quarters, I Caroline. I give away about a thousand
turkeys over the path then giving I had a dude,
tell me, man, do you know nobody wants you to
dry as turkeys? Keys? Dried? Oni? Why are you mad
that I'm giving back? It didn't like we were giving
away bites. I did like the hood on front at
(26:53):
the Walmart, and I see a lot of people I
went to high school with. You could see some people
who were like genuinely having for you, and some people
shake my hand. I can feel like madness in the
shape like damn you made it now? I mean in
high school where i'd be how you honest? I never
thought I never looked at myself as being a rupper.
Never Like you know, you vote the most successful person,
it would never be me and I know the most
(27:15):
you know what I mean, class clown, I got both
voted bitch rish. I mean you've been doing that dance
for a long I got sense him, and that's all
I'm not. I'm not a dancing person, bro, Honestly, I'm
not a dancing person at all. I've just been a
studio cron. I know people talk crazy to you on
Twitter too. Do you ever feel like, all right, I
gotta find this person because you see that happening all
the time, tell you I took the notifications on my phone.
(27:37):
I don't Twitter only alerts me when I get on it.
So like even if from Instagram, the media social media life,
I don't only see it when I want to get
on it, right, feel if they're gonna say everything, So
if you don't, don't even sign up for it yet
to get a snapchat though, and everybody keeps saying that's
the move. But I don't be relent to lie. I
didn't even bring my phone today. I don't really be
into the phone thing like that. It slows me down
(28:00):
the day. We gotta do a lot of pressing press,
so that's what my mind is a big press. I'm
gonna tell me how I mean. The biggest thing, and
that's why I want to get clanses from you. The
biggest thing people always question you about is your sexuality.
They think because of your dance, because of the way
you dressed, like he must be gay. Then they think
of a young thug calling you hell being big. Clearly
that's not the case. Oh man, leave me ten minutes, man,
(28:20):
ten minutes. But the first time I came, I think
I was showing that at the time. You know it
didn't I brought from me asked, oh my gosh, this guy. Yeah,
(28:41):
I haven't coming far cleaning us. It was an assistant
or something man that Finde hired and said, also you
with in New York, but some because yesterday I tried.
I wasn't gonna tell him, but yesterday I was coming
doing stuff and Papa rock so crazy up here. So
she sent me a picture already, he said, yeah. Like
(29:02):
so like she said, you know, your baby mama is
very pretty too. She might messing one of the Hawks.
It's something at some point, all right, I wonna be
no playoffs. Playoffs you can conversponders to be over care
taking it all. You ain't rooting for your home team
(29:23):
Brown from Atlanta, man, but come on, we know that's
the goat. Yeah, I don't want mine checking out a game,
not but like, I'm not gonna even lie I kind
of the city though. How does that work for you? Now?
Do you pay for tickets or they'd be like not
going to sit courts. You start playoffs, you're gonna pay.
But during the rugling season and I was just agetting
you people from the house and hit me up. Yeah
you know what I mean? Like the marketing people, they
(29:44):
give you tickets or whatnot? My three games, I'd be
so big. I want my dad every sign though. Yeah,
we love Yeah, I love sports. Though I watched sports
on them before I wake up. I only watching news
sports something that's news to me. What don't you put
the sign with Z? At one point we're just talking,
you know, we just did a song. You know, people
see you with somebody, you know what, I think you're
gonna sign? Yeah, but I'm sure a lot of people
(30:05):
try to sign you are trying to sign you. I'm
sure he put his bid in. I'm sure a lot
of people did. All right, they don't put the bid in.
That's the that's the funny part. The bid would kick
it might talk about it. What you know you're a bid? Well?
The reason why is he's doing so successful? What number? Yeah,
And that's what I think a lot of people be
afraid though. But this is my thing. You're old g
in Atlanta. If you TI you, jeez, they see y'all. Ge.
(30:29):
He just hit me up to from jail. He did
they see you do a lot of song? Who he
got a studio in jail? What he doing? How he's
signed it? So clear man, I was listening to song
like is he in jail? When he recorded it? He
hit me on Instagram. Yeah, like you'll be You'll be surprised,
Man'll be surprised. But I think they see y'all from
the beginning beginning. They could grab y'all and put y'all
(30:51):
on paperwork before everything pop off. I never understand why
that don't happen, because I'm tell you, I don't believe, man,
and I don't don't believe. When I first came sound
signing like Future that the biggest criticism. Still they don't
a little bit, not as much though now I feel
like if I've I've incorporated my own sound, you know,
I feel as if I've beat them in the head
(31:12):
the nor of my sound, like to let him know,
like what if I'm alone? Maybe we just sound like that.
If so, you wouldn't sign with the artists though, being
that your feeling is as an artist, you wouldn't want
somebody to do better. I wouldn't say that if I
artists offered me the write normbal what's the numbers they
put that out there in the universe. It ain't really
a long You gotta be gotta make sense. You gotta
be felt. Probably it's a whole structure of like a
(31:33):
not just it can't even know three million, it would
be three. I take a ten with the right percentage,
like I don't even gotta take that. I take a
probably like a cell. But the percentages important. The paperwork
got to be man, come on, man, I need Johnny
cockering to look over the world. Not for real, that's
what it's about. Long that's gonna happen with yea because
(31:55):
lovely people didn't get the money you offer me too,
me and I'm so going to million my paperwork so
ilf though up. I don't eat now, I don't win.
I can't feed my family. Then the two millions with couples,
I got to give it back if in so, I'm
good man. You think it's still a misconception that a
Southern folks is dumb. I ain't dumb. I don't think
(32:16):
you are. I'm just saying, oh, that's a lot of
people say what Southern people don't you know? Oh yeah,
they do say that. Uh that's what I'm saying. They
were talking about me yesterday and I red some people
at a bar because man, I shot a video for it.
Was good yesterday. They will talk about the way I talked.
I know I don't talk like a New Yorker. I
know I talk like a Southern you know what I mean.
(32:36):
But that do mean you dumb? Now I'm here, You're
breaking down the centages and you know what number you focus?
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, but now, yeah, we
do get that though. I don't know why they do
the South like that. I think Atlanta getting better than
South Carolina. Never again, I love South Carolina made a
lot of money. I was gonna say that Carolina I love.
(32:57):
I would say nothing bad about Carolina. I love Carolina
period from South, from the South hand or both. Pay good, bro,
absolutely double as the best, like one of the best
weekends and my whole life. We do a party that
every year, many party. I love listen Manu Bro. Everybody comes,
like you know she's having from Georgia. Came every year, Yeah,
(33:17):
every year, every year, like so like, yeah, man, I
have nothing bad to say about the Caroline the other
Dan like I don't like the football team games. I
don't like the means. I'm a cowboy friend. Oh yeah,
you know, I'm a Falcon fan. They win the same conference.
But I like Cam Newton because he's from Georgia, so
like I do watch the game still, you know what
I mean that man Cam or man Cam player the
same party together. Well y'all little yeah, exactly right. Yeah,
(33:41):
well wide receiver, quarterback, quarterback. Yeah, that's accounts got too
big you know out there. That was the end of
the same side getting scholarship. I thought, if you get
the scholarships office, yea and baseball see that. I see
my I was good in baseball. Baseball. I thought it
was gonna be my ticket and I really still thought it.
Wish it could be. They pay more than rapper. I
mean then any sport now to be honest and pay
(34:02):
more than any sport. But now pretty good, Oh mister
baseball nine grade? So what happened? I had the conception
of just being a street person brow dope. No, you
just don't want to now, you know, Like, uh, okay,
I I got a sept to the School for a
Valley which is in Georgia. Yeah, probably like uh what
(34:23):
it called an HBCU. So it's probably like I want
to have out of the city. I'm so I'm so
gone within the city. I got to be in the
city every day. I gotta be around my home buds
every day. I don't want to go out and venture
to do something new, you know what I mean, or
even try to get them to come. I just want
to stay home. And then what it was, stayed home
start breaking the house and went to jail breaking the houses. Yeah, okay, damn.
(34:46):
So you could have been on the mound right now
throwing for the braves, making three hundred million dollars a yell,
but you just didn't want to leave for hour to
have it. That happens. But that's a common story. I'm
just being real, bro. I wanted to be so. I'm
so caught up in what's going on every day. And
at that time I and Facebook that might have been
known how to staying out there. If I couldn't have
a new outfite for Facebook, I went and stating it.
I didn't even going to school. My mama read it
(35:08):
scruggling to feed three of us? If I read stay
over her help us. But as much as I can,
what made you be a kick door person as opposed
to selling lope? That's that's what I got to introduced to.
I thought I was going to custom grass. One day
I went from crane grass the kick and don't get
caught the first time I went, Really, man, I got
caught the first time I ever didn't. I like, it's
(35:30):
so dull, but they do it this way, it'll work.
So I got out of jail that saying the next
day I did, uh burglarizer how the net Friday? So
out of that man, Well, I'm making like ten ten
fifteen thousand a week. Once I prefitted what you was doing,
like stealing and then going to pond stuff. Nah, she didn't.
She in the South flash flashed that TV. Yes, TVs
and electronics worth emotion, you know what I mean. So
(35:51):
if I got a fifty inch, it's five hundred forty
four hundred and et cetera, et cetera. So my thing
was but like a lot of the girl was because
they was just put me on. Some of they due
so the man mad. You don't rob them so many
Atlanta Hawks and they retired. Now I retired now and
over the hustle then, man, you know, I miss nothing
(36:13):
that I'm proud of because I'm proud of what I
do now and I can look back at it like

urge to steal? Now, nice ass hotels like I take
that flash man, I mean so word they take. Man. Listen, man,

go on my room, take my mind in my pocket.
