Oh, really? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
Oh, wow. | ||
I've been fit my whole life. | ||
I started getting fat when I touched that rapper money. | ||
Yeah, really. | ||
It's hard, right? | ||
Yeah, I'd go out to eat, because I'm already indecisive, so I'd go out to eat and order five things and just eat small off each plate. | ||
Well, it's a problem when you first start getting money, right? | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
You just get indulgent. | ||
Yeah, I'm chilling now, though, you know what I'm saying? | ||
But definitely at first, it was like... | ||
When I was 25, I got a development deal. | ||
And I was spending so much money, my manager called me up. | ||
He thought I had a gambling problem. | ||
Oh, shit. | ||
He was like, do you have a gambling problem? | ||
I'm like, no, I'm eating steak and lobster every night. | ||
I was just finna say, bro, like it goes to food, right? | ||
I feel like... | ||
Because I ain't bought jewelry or nothing like that. | ||
Nothing? | ||
Oh, you seen the grill? | ||
I mean, yeah, but I had a grill before I was anybody. | ||
And then my second grill, Paul Wall gave to me. | ||
Oh, that's cool. | ||
Paul Wall's the man. | ||
Yeah, shout out to Paul Wall again. | ||
It was just his birthday a few days ago, too. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah? | |
That dude, he looks like a real estate agent. | ||
With the come-over? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, but he's got this crazy grill. | |
Yeah, nah, he's cool as shit, though. | ||
He's cool as shit. | ||
He's a nice person. | ||
I was smoking with him, and I handed him a joint, and he was like, thank you. | ||
I was like, thank you for your next rotation, you know? | ||
But he's just a sweet dude, you know? | ||
That's nice. | ||
Yeah, he's cool. | ||
I've seen him in interviews. | ||
I love to talk to that dude. | ||
I've seen him in interviews. | ||
He always seems cool as fuck. | ||
Just real happy. | ||
If you're down, I'd love to connect y'all. | ||
Yeah, let's do it. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
Let's do it. | ||
I found out about you from Tony Hinchcliffe. | ||
My friend Tony Hinchcliffe. | ||
He's like, yo, you gotta listen to this. | ||
And he puts it on. | ||
He's a comedian. | ||
And he put it on in the green room of the mothership. | ||
He put Cowboy Killer. | ||
I was like, oh shit. | ||
This is good, man. | ||
Now it's in our Spotify rotation. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
Cowboy Killer was a fun one to write. | ||
I remember I was in West Columbia and my buddy Nate was like, he was like, just do something different. | ||
He was like, make a country song. | ||
And I just played like a country rap beat and from there it just went crazy. | ||
Yeah, dude, we find ourselves walking around the green room sometimes going, lately I've been fucking. | ||
I just did that one at the rodeo. | ||
They went stupid. | ||
Oh, I bet. | ||
Yeah, that's one of the ones they go crazy for when I perform. | ||
I feel like maybe just because it's easier to sing along to, too. | ||
A lot of my stuff, they don't even understand what I'm saying. | ||
They just sound good. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Yeah, no, that one's a good one to sing along to. | ||
It's also just fun. | ||
Yeah, definitely. | ||
It's a fun song. | ||
You're having a good fucking time. | ||
Definitely, man. | ||
And I'm glad you said that because that's what I try to give out. | ||
This next project I'm working on, I want to call it recess. | ||
And I want to call it recess because at this point, bro, I don't have walls. | ||
I don't have boundaries. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I don't have an ego that's holding me down to one sound or anything like that. | ||
This is recess to me. | ||
So therefore, I can go to the monkey bars and dominate. | ||
Then I can go to the jungle gym. | ||
And then I can go to the swings and have fun everywhere. | ||
So it sounds like I'm having fun. | ||
That's great. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It's a blessing, bro. | ||
Man, I would have never thought I'd be here. | ||
I thank God every day, bro, because I used to be on acid laid out in the middle of the street, and I wasn't doing acid the way y'all do acid. | ||
I feel like some people do drugs and they do it to better, to learn. | ||
I was strictly abusing this shit. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I just wanted to be fucking dick in the dirt high. | ||
It's just beautiful, bro. | ||
I tell people all the time, God's going to have an amazing talk with y'all. | ||
Because, like... | ||
Y'all don't even understand. | ||
Y'all saved somebody's life and you don't even know it because it's just pure enjoyment to you. | ||
But, bro, God watches that, man. | ||
And I promise all my fans, God gonna have a good talk with them because they spoil me. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
They make me feel good, bro. | ||
I love my fans, dog. | ||
They pay attention to the smallest shit ever. | ||
I was in California. | ||
I did a show in L.A. And this girl brought a shirt and she had a mural of my mama's headstone on it. | ||
It said, you know, when she passed, her birthday, her name, my name, my little brother's name. | ||
And I was like, damn, like, shit's just cool, bro. | ||
You know, because my mother gave me my first rap name, V-Man. | ||
And I've been rapping since I was four years old. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
So, like... | ||
It's just cool. | ||
Like, my mama was a gangster. | ||
I was talking to Fatboy a few days ago in Bay City and Fatboy, you know, he's like, oh my God, Virgil, I love you. | ||
So, me and Sophie, we was best friends. | ||
And he was like, yo, mama taught me how to cook hard, you know? | ||
Like, just going on and on. | ||
Like, mama was walking around Bay City like, where my money at? | ||
You know, like, we're just savage. | ||
We're just short. | ||
Like, she was a little pocket rocket. | ||
Short with so much power, you know? | ||
And she was beautiful, man. | ||
Everybody loved her. | ||
I feel like it was hard with the family with her, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, I grew up watching my mother and her mother fish fight in the living room, you know? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
Yeah, but that's why sometimes when people be like, oh yeah, this for Sophie, or Sophie this, or Sophie that, and I'm like, man, none of you motherfuckers, like, all y'all traded her. | ||
All y'all turn y'alls back on her. | ||
There were some people that were supposed to fight for me in court when my mother died because they knew, but they backed out. | ||
Fight for you in court? | ||
Like how? | ||
So when my mother passed away, my mama was already planning on giving me to my nanny, which is my dad's mother. | ||
And the reason why she was going to give me to her is because he was getting out of prison. | ||
And my mama was, like, my mama was gangster, like, cooking crack and selling this shit. | ||
I'm, like, people fucked up in our house, you know what I'm saying? | ||
So, like, she knew she was already fucking up and probably finna go to jail. | ||
And I was just bad. | ||
I was a badass little kid. | ||
I was in first grade not coming home until 10 o'clock at night already. | ||
I remember her crying and she'd just be like, I can't take care of her, Miss Irma. | ||
I don't know what to do with her, this and that. | ||
And some of my people knew that was on my mother's side. | ||
They knew about this. | ||
And they knew that she wanted to give me the armor. | ||
They knew all this. | ||
And they knew that Sophie didn't want me to be with my mama's side because it really wasn't too much guidance. | ||
She knew that I would almost be fucked over there. | ||
Not saying that they don't love me because they definitely love me. | ||
They just weren't heavy hands on the rules and shit. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
How old were you at the time? | ||
When my mama passed, I was eight. | ||
But I was already grown, you know what I'm saying? | ||
I was already grown. | ||
So when I hear those people, oh yeah, it's over this and that, I'm like, man, fuck you. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Because y'all left my mama out there dry, for real. | ||
Everybody in my family left my mama dry like that. | ||
My mama, she was close with Sabrina, my dear Sabrina. | ||
I know that for sure, but that's because we all live together. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I know my tia Sabrina and my cousin Homer too. | ||
My cousin Homer was close with my mama. | ||
I never seen my mother respect any other woman except for my nanny and maybe my stepmama. | ||
My mama used to take me to my stepmama. | ||
we would meet halfway and my stepmama would take me to go see my dad in prison and I used to be rapping through him through a glass on the phone. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
I used to be rapping the radio and he'd be like, fuck that radio. | ||
I want to hear what you got to say. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
I'd be doing my push-ups, my sit-ups. | ||
Dad, look at me. | ||
Check me out. | ||
I hit jumping jacks, all this and that. | ||
I knuckle him and we would twist it. | ||
He would say, lock it up. | ||
He'd get him dapping. | ||
He'd say, lock it up. | ||
You know? | ||
And I was just telling Fee every time I go visit him, he would always ask for spriting some Kit Kats. | ||
I used to go to get the coins and take them to the guards. | ||
I'd be like, man, that's all I got, but let me take my daddy home, you know? | ||
And he did a long time. | ||
He did about six years in there. | ||
He learned a lot. | ||
He tell me all the time that prison taught him how to be a political person, you know, and a politician. | ||
And how so? | ||
Because you have to follow other rules in there now. | ||
Let's say me and you got problems. | ||
I got to go to whoever your leader is or somebody, what's going on in your situation, and be like, I can't just go over there because I'm going to start a race war or some shit. | ||
Everything has a reaction. | ||
You just got to have permission from your hires. | ||
I don't know too much about it because I ain't never been to prison and things like that. | ||
I know a little bit from what just being around That's a crazy statement when you're eight-year-old, you were grown. | ||
Yeah, I was already grown. | ||
Like, I looked at a picture. | ||
I seen a picture of me holding this basketball when I was a kid. | ||
And I remember holding this basketball. | ||
It grew in the dark. | ||
And I remember, like, playing with it. | ||
I remember being with it, holding it, and, like, just seeing it around the house. | ||
And I look at a picture of myself holding it, and I was like, damn! | ||
Like, I look like I was a child, not even a kid, like a baby still. | ||
I was already looking at my teachers like, bitch, I don't know what fuck it is, but I will fuck you. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
For real. | ||
I was already watching Hustle& Flow, Scarface. | ||
Because my parents were still kids. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
So I just got to be a kid with them. | ||
How old was your mom when you were born? | ||
I think she was like 18. Wow. | ||
Yeah, that's what happens. | ||
I remember watching Scarface all the time with my mama and every single time before she died, she'd be like, Tony, turn around, Tony! | ||
Like, this is gonna change something. | ||
But yeah, I remember that was a movie that made her cry. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Wow, she was rooting for Scarface. | ||
Yeah, she cried when Tony died. | ||
She was fucked up about that shit. | ||
That's hilarious. | ||
She cried when Tony died. | ||
I remember it was me, SB, Quincy, and I feel like Romeo was definitely there because he was living with us. | ||
And Keelan might have been alive. | ||
Yeah, he was because Joseph was definitely alive. | ||
These are all my cousins. | ||
Like, I never needed friends because I always had siblings. | ||
And I was the oldest of all of them. | ||
So, like, man, I'm making a pallet. | ||
I got all of us sleeping in the living room together. | ||
And, you know, like I said, my parents were still kids, so they out doing kids stuff at the club, party, and all this and that. | ||
So while they're doing that, I'm playing Scarface and all this other shit, you know? | ||
But I remember we were sleeping in bed one time and my mother comes in and she wakes SP up. | ||
Espy, we whooped those bitches ass. | ||
All this and that. | ||
We got them. | ||
We got them. | ||
My mama just got into a bar fight with somebody and came home talking about, yeah, we whooped them bitches ass. | ||
I remember smelling the cold night on her. | ||
Does that make sense? | ||
Cold night. | ||
It's cold at night and then you're inside and then somebody come in and it's like you can feel the cold on them and smell it and shit. | ||
I don't know how to explain it. | ||
I just felt the cold come off of her body and And I smelled her, and I always knew she was around because I heard high heels. | ||
Like, when she would pick me up from daycare, I always knew it was my mama because she's the only one coming in high heels, you know? | ||
And, yeah, my mama, she was just crazy. | ||
Her name was Sophia Goska. | ||
Sophia Ann Goska. | ||
Wow. | ||
What a crazy way to grow up. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, a little bit. | ||
I mean, it's definitely worse, you know what I'm saying? | ||
It's not even crazy. | ||
It's just we was just... | ||
Just living. | ||
I remember I wasn't even sitting in car seats. | ||
My mother would be driving, holding my little baby brother, and I'd be standing in the passenger seat with my arm on the seat like this, you know? | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Just living, like, you know? | ||
Just wild. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's a good way to develop a rapper. | ||
Correct. | ||
My mama, so boys would come around and they'd be like, you know what I'm saying? | ||
My mama would always tell them, Sophie, I'm going to be, my son going to be a rapper. | ||
You know, they'd be, Sophie, alright Sophie, you know what I'm saying? | ||
No, my son going to be a rapper. | ||
I was failing every class in the first grade and my tia Rosario told me this story. | ||
My tia Rosario was She's not my tia, but we're very close, so they're family. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
That type of shit. | ||
She was actually in the car with my mother when she passed, and they were tight, man. | ||
She told me that I was failing every class in the first grade, and all her and her friends were like, Sophie, he failing in the first grade? | ||
What the fuck going on? | ||
He's spelling stop, you know? | ||
And she was like, fuck that school. | ||
My son gonna be a rapper. | ||
My dad would wake me up before school at like 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning when I was in the 7th grade. | ||
And he'd wake me up. | ||
He'd be like, son, you ready to whoop ass? | ||
I'd be like, man, I gotta get ready for school. | ||
And he's like, fuck school. | ||
You ready to get down there and whoop ass? | ||
And he wasn't saying fuck school because like, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Because he always pressed like being good and getting knowledge, you know what I'm saying? | ||
But like, he knew I didn't give a fuck. | ||
He knew I was just saying that, so he's like, in his mind, he's like, motherfucker, you gonna get up and come down here and rap, you know? | ||
Because he would party every night, and he had the shit that people wanted, and women wanted to be with him, and men wanted to be him. | ||
So every night after they'd get done partying, Monday through Sunday, he would always bring the party back home, and he would have me, a house full of women, women sitting on the fucking stairs lined up, one sitting on the refrigerator. | ||
I had a master of, and he was mixed with Pres Canaria. | ||
I think I said that right. | ||
His name was Bronson, like Charles Bronson. | ||
He was Brendo, and his eyes were orange lit up. | ||
Orange. | ||
Just a beast. | ||
And I could see the house. | ||
And we were living in a duplex, so then it looked like it's even more crowded, you know? | ||
And my dad would play like a ghetto boy's beat, which is like five minutes fucking long, if you don't know. | ||
So I'm about two, three minutes in, and he's like, what the fuck you slowing down for? | ||
The beat ain't over? | ||
And I had to jump back on and not eat these grown-ass men alive. | ||
Alive. | ||
And how were you writing your raps back then? | ||
Were you writing them in your head or were you writing them back? | ||
Nah, everything was on a pad. | ||
I had everything in no books. | ||
I was supposed to be taking notes in school and I'm writing. | ||
I didn't do anything else except for write, draw, or read. | ||
So from the beginning, that's what you wanted. | ||
It's not what I wanted. | ||
It's what my mama wanted. | ||
I don't even think I still know what I want to this day. | ||
Really? | ||
I think I just want to be okay. | ||
I don't even give a fuck about this money, the fame. | ||
I don't give a fuck about it. | ||
I love the music because I'm blessed and I'm grateful for it. | ||
I cherish it because it's my living and I'm comfortable off of it. | ||
This is what my mama wanted. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
So to this day, you're not sure that that's what you wanted? | ||
I don't think it is. | ||
I think what I want is just love. | ||
I missed out on a lot of love. | ||
I want a family. | ||
I just want to be okay. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I just want a simple life. | ||
I think that happens for a lot of people when they get pushed into something at a really young age. | ||
You hear that with a lot of athletes, a lot of young fighters, a lot of young football players. | ||
They're just like, I never knew what I wanted to do. | ||
They told me what I wanted to do. | ||
And then here I am successful. | ||
I guess this is alright, but am I even me? | ||
I'm a product. | ||
Correct. | ||
I feel like I'm definitely me. | ||
But this was definitely for my mama. | ||
It worked out. | ||
Yeah, definitely. | ||
I'm thinking how happy she would be right now. | ||
Man, bro. | ||
And that's one thing I've always... | ||
I just want to see her jam my music. | ||
Because I remember being in the backseat watching her jam Ashanti and Ja Rule. | ||
And I remember her body language. | ||
I remember seeing her move. | ||
I remember her beautiful smile when she would sing. | ||
And I'm like, damn. | ||
I wish I could see her sing my music. | ||
You know? | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
I know she would. | ||
And I ain't no bullshit. | ||
Like, everything I'm talking about is solid. | ||
So, like, I know she would feel it even more. | ||
Like, damn, my son gangster. | ||
You know? | ||
That's awesome. | ||
Yeah, I know she would love it, bro. | ||
Well, that's a beautiful thing, though. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's kind of amazing. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I mean, you think about how many people you touch and inspire, and how many people love your music, how many people you excite. | ||
Correct. | ||
You know, you excite people. | ||
Those songs come on, people get excited. | ||
Correct. | ||
She would be very happy with that. | ||
Yeah, no, it's a blessing, man. | ||
And my father, he tells me all the time, like, man, this shit started in the kitchen. | ||
Right before I walked onto the rodeo stage, he said, son, you're still in the kitchen. | ||
Wow. | ||
And I was like, I know. | ||
That's cool. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You're in the kitchen, but now there's millions of people in it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Isn't that wild? | ||
Yeah, no, it's beautiful, man. | ||
How old are you? | ||
I just turned 25, February 6th. | ||
Damn, you're just a baby. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Just a young man. | ||
I'm trying. | ||
We getting... | ||
That's amazing. | ||
Yep, yep, yep. | ||
When did things really start popping for you? | ||
I would definitely... | ||
I don't know, because I feel like every time I drop something, I always had good motion. | ||
Like, I dropped a music video called Plan C in like 2018, 2019, which is a lot, but it's not a lot. | ||
And it hit like 30k and got stuck. | ||
Now it's at like 40k. | ||
It might be at more now. | ||
I ain't checked in a while, but it was like at 40k and got stuck, which is, like I said, a lot, but not a lot. | ||
But I'm from the country. | ||
And like, I'm just a kid in the country, slash the hood. | ||
There wasn't no promo, no nothing. | ||
Like, I just made a video and I'm doing music because my uncle's got a studio in the house. | ||
So of course I'm going to be doing music. | ||
I'm fucked up on drugs. | ||
I don't want no job. | ||
I don't want to be around nobody. | ||
I'm finna do this. | ||
And then one day, my cousin, he had a homeboy and he heard the song. | ||
He was like, bro, I want to jump on it. | ||
Let me jump on it. | ||
So I was like, fuck it, you know, jump on it. | ||
And then he was like, man, I got a homeboy. | ||
I got a buddy and he be shooting videos. | ||
I was like, shit. | ||
Fuck it. | ||
What else is there to do? | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And we shot the video. | ||
We're all doing this just for the fun of it. | ||
Like, there's nothing else to do. | ||
And just dropped it, and it went good. | ||
Then I dropped another song called La Muerte, maybe about two years after that. | ||
And when I dropped La Muerte, that's when I was like, alright. | ||
I think it was like 2021, maybe 2020. That's when I was like, yeah, like... | ||
I could do something with this. | ||
Because I'm not rapping no more. | ||
I'm actually making songs. | ||
There's a difference between rapping and making music. | ||
And I think when I wrote La Muerte, that's when I was like, yeah, I think I could do it. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
La Muerte. | ||
That's right there. | ||
That's my grandma's house and my grandpa's house right in the back. | ||
That's all the country. | ||
And how old are you in this? | ||
When did it say that video dropped? | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
No, I reposted it on there. | ||
So it's about five years ago. | ||
I was maybe like 20. Right there. | ||
20 sounds right. | ||
So you, your whole life you've been on this path. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
And you want to know what's crazy? | ||
Some people that I talked to back then in the country, and they're like, bro, I've always looked at you as a rapper. | ||
Even kids in school, people at school that I talked to, man, you just always had a rapper Like, I've always just looked at you as a rapper. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Even in kids at school, like, oh yeah, he's a rapper. | ||
You know, like, bro, I was in Miss Terry's class in eighth grade, and everybody's getting certificates in school, and, you know, my buddy Brent, he's like, most likely to go into UFC, most likely to... | ||
Wear a red button-up shirt, most likely. | ||
And everybody's getting this stuff, and Mons was most likely to be a rapper. | ||
So everything was just surrounded by it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah, I remember being at school rapping at lunch, having the teachers and the kids surrounding me. | ||
The bells ringing, we supposed to go to the next class, and we still going headstrong. | ||
Wow. | ||
Like, I've always just had a crowd. | ||
I've always been a center of attention. | ||
I remember my nanny would take me to Pallet Royal to go school shopping when I was like 8th grade. | ||
I mean, 8 years old, 9 years old, 10 years old. | ||
And I'm rapping to the people in Pallet Royal. | ||
You know? | ||
There was a car show. | ||
My mother had just passed. | ||
I was probably like 9 years old. | ||
And my cousin Daniel took me to this car show, Slim Thug, Zero, and Paul Wall, and them were on stage performing. | ||
And while they're on stage performing, you know, the car show's gone over here and then they got a bunch of vendors in their pop-ups. | ||
And this one dude has a microphone at his pop-up and he's trying to sell shit. | ||
Oh, this and that, yeah, woo-woo. | ||
And I ended up grabbing his mic and I started rapping to zero and then performing live on stage. | ||
I don't even think they know this story. | ||
I've never even told them that shit. | ||
And, um... | ||
But yeah, bro, I was rapping to Paul Wall, Slim Thug, and Zero on stage live. | ||
Wow. | ||
I was probably like nine years old. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
You know? | ||
I'm seeing all these women, you know what I'm saying, wearing booty shorts and these crop tops. | ||
And I'm seeing all these dudes and they just look clean with the J's. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I'm like, damn, like, I'm in here. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
At nine. | ||
Yeah, shit was cool. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yeah. | ||
What were your first influences musically? | ||
Definitely whatever my mama was jamming. | ||
She was jamming at Ashanti and Ja Rule. | ||
My dad was jamming everything. | ||
My dad was jamming like fucking All Springs, fucking Tool. | ||
He was jamming Three Day Grace, fucking all that shit. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Oh, just mix it up. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then my mama's side of the family, they all gangsters and like cholas. | ||
So it was like gangster rap music and then like some Latino music. | ||
And then my dad's side of the family, they're all cowboys, so I'm jamming country and shit like that. | ||
Then I go with my dad and he's jamming rock and all this extra shit. | ||
So I just got to... | ||
And then once I got older and started discovering music on my own, you know what I'm saying? | ||
I've already liked rock and rap to Latino music, to country, so how farther can I go with this? | ||
And now my taste in music is just all... | ||
I'll jam music, I don't even know the language to, but if I feel it, I feel it. | ||
I feel it. | ||
I think that's why it's easy for me to just jump in any genre and dominate because I can feel it and put me in it. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
You don't have a restriction in your head of what you can do. | ||
Correct. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, that's Cowboy Killer. | ||
Correct. | ||
And I think that's one of the reasons why I resonate with so many people because it's just... | ||
It's fun, and it's like, what is this guy doing here, man? | ||
But it don't sound forced either. | ||
It also doesn't sound like anybody else. | ||
You don't sound like anybody else. | ||
I play that, and people go, who the fuck is that? | ||
They get interested. | ||
This is different. | ||
Thank you. | ||
It's beautiful when something comes along that just resonates like that. | ||
You know, there's so many influences out there. | ||
So when someone comes along, you're like, wow, that's a different vibe. | ||
Stevie was definitely my influences for music like Cowboy Killer. | ||
Stevie Ray Vaughan, he was a white boy. | ||
After every show, he'd be like, and walk up. | ||
My grandpa, he said he used to be on acid at his shows in Austin all the time. | ||
He performed at my club. | ||
We have a photo of him on stage at my club from 1983. Are you shitting me? | ||
Holy fuck, that's sick! | ||
When you walk towards the club, when you're downstairs and you're walking towards the stage, there's a photo on the side of the wall, there's two of them, of Steve Ray Vaughn on stage. | ||
At the theater. | ||
You a bad motherfucker, Joe. | ||
We got lucky with that. | ||
We got lucky with that. | ||
I didn't even know the history of the place until I bought it. | ||
What was it? | ||
At one point in time, it was the Ritz Theater on 6th Street. | ||
Oh, not shit. | ||
So at one point in time, it was the Alamo Draft House. | ||
There he is. | ||
That's the photo we have. | ||
Wow. | ||
It was a rock and roll club. | ||
It was a punk rock club. | ||
It was a nudie movie theater. | ||
It was a pool hall. | ||
Wow. | ||
So it's already been known for just being the spot. | ||
Yeah, that's it right there. | ||
Wow. | ||
So it was always a cool spot. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
And now it's my comedy club. | ||
But it's just, there's certain old places where you walk in them and you can feel the memories in the walls. | ||
I think buildings have memory. | ||
I think that's why people don't want to buy a house where someone was murdered in. | ||
Yeah, I think buildings have... | ||
I think things have memory. | ||
I really do. | ||
There's a guy named Rupert Sheldrake. | ||
I forget what his discipline is. | ||
I think he's an evolutionary biologist or something like that. | ||
I forget what he does. | ||
But anyway, he's got this theory about memory and that we have this idea that we are the only things that have memory. | ||
But he thinks that everything has memory. | ||
That all things around you... | ||
unidentified
|
And you agree. | |
Yeah. | ||
It's a psychology. | ||
Psychology researcher. | ||
He prefers a concept of morphic resonance, a conjecture that lacks mainstream. | ||
He gets criticized as being kind of a loon, but he's got some really fucking interesting ideas and he's a brilliant guy. | ||
He just thinks outside the box. | ||
And one of the things he thinks is that everything has some sort of a memory to it. | ||
He's not the only one that thinks that. | ||
I want to understand him. | ||
Like, this table is gonna... | ||
It can't tell you things, but this table is different because of all the people that have been in this room talking. | ||
And I think there's something real to that. | ||
Yeah, so when I say I agree, I say I feel like I agree because words are powerful. | ||
Experiences are powerful. | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
Yeah, everything's powerful. | ||
Words facilitate experiences, right? | ||
You go on stage and you're killing it, and everybody in the audience is jamming out. | ||
That's an experience, you know? | ||
And then will they go back to that place? | ||
Maybe they'll go back and be empty someday. | ||
I saw that Mexican OT here, right here. | ||
I was standing right here, and you feel it. | ||
I think that's why when you go by your old high school, you go by your old high school, you feel like a loser again, like, ooh. | ||
It makes me feel like I felt when I was 16. There's something about that. | ||
I know that's a psychological connection that you have, but I also think that high school's got the memories of a bunch of confused, fucked up kids that didn't know what to do with their life and they were buck wild and yelling and screaming and school fights and all the chaos. | ||
I think it's burned into the walls. | ||
I really believe that. | ||
Yeah, I can agree with that. | ||
That sounds crazy. | ||
I've never heard it, but I actually love that. | ||
I think that's what haunted houses are. | ||
What? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I think ghosts are real. | ||
But I think what a ghost is, is the, like if someone gets brutally murdered in a building, like imagine if there's a house and some husband comes home and brutally murders his wife. | ||
Nobody wants to buy a fucking house. | ||
Correct. | ||
Nobody wants to buy that house. | ||
He stabbed her a hundred times in the kitchen. | ||
Nobody wants that house. | ||
You gotta level that house to the ground and still people don't want that land. | ||
It's just too fucked up. | ||
I think when something truly horrific happens, the experience is so intense and extreme that that energy creates like a void. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
And you feel that void when you're there. | ||
And I think if you're in the right state of mind, and you're in a house where someone fell down a flight of stairs and snapped their neck and was in horror, you would feel it. | ||
Yeah, I do agree. | ||
You would feel it. | ||
And you might feel them. | ||
Their experience might be recorded in a way where it has a little flashback. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And you just hear someone saying help real softly, and you're like, what the fuck is going on? | ||
You turn the lights on, no one's there. | ||
Fuck. | ||
Fuck all that, man. | ||
I do agree, though. | ||
I've always believed in God and things like that, because I grew up non-denominational. | ||
My nanny always prayed and things like that. | ||
But what made me full-on believe it in spirits and knowing that it's here was I seen bad first. | ||
I was like, well, fucking yin and yang. | ||
Yes and no, on and off. | ||
Like, if there's bad, there's gotta be good. | ||
And, um... | ||
After that, that's when I've like been full-on prayed up and like full-on been trying to get better with the message, you know? | ||
Because I want to be ready. | ||
We got to be ready for that talk, you know? | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
But yeah, no, it gets wicked though, definitely. | ||
The other thing that makes me uncomfortable as I get older is I realize that there probably has to be evil in order for good to exist. | ||
There's some weird, with human beings, there's some very weird balance. | ||
Very weird balance of good and evil. | ||
And it's just like you don't appreciate sunshine unless it rains. | ||
You live in LA, you're always used to the sun. | ||
Sun's bullshit. | ||
Nobody gives a fuck about that sun. | ||
But man, you live in Portland. | ||
The day it's sunny out, you're like, oh! | ||
You're out in the park with a coffee. | ||
Oh, this is beautiful. | ||
Feel that sun. | ||
It feels so good. | ||
I think we need a balance. | ||
And unfortunately, one of the things that creates more good is evil. | ||
Because someone has to combat that good, or combat that evil. | ||
And the way you combat that evil is become a better person, become great, become something special. | ||
I like it. | ||
I think that's real. | ||
And it's like there's so much evidence of it. | ||
If you look at human beings, there's never been a time where there haven't been evil people. | ||
Ever. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, correct. | |
No, correct. | ||
There's not like one society where everybody figured it out and everybody was cool. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
And if they are, it lasts like a couple years and then it falls apart. | ||
You know? | ||
unidentified
|
I think, uh... | |
No. | ||
What? | ||
I do want to tell you this, though, before I forget. | ||
The wolves you got out there, have you ever seen the movie Creep? | ||
Creep. | ||
Yeah, it's a fucking scary-ass movie. | ||
When was that movie from? | ||
How long ago? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe like 2017, 2016, maybe? | ||
I don't think I saw it. | ||
Yeah, I would highly advise it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
Yeah, it reminds me of Peach Fuzz. | ||
Peach Fuzz? | ||
You just gotta watch it. | ||
I wouldn't even want to ruin it for you. | ||
I don't know if you like movies or not, but bro, it's an amazing movie. | ||
That wolf out there, that's from the American Werewolf in London. | ||
Oh, okay, see it. | ||
You ever see that movie? | ||
No, I haven't. | ||
Oh, look at this thing. | ||
Yes, Peach Fuzz! | ||
Holy fuck! | ||
Oh, that's hilarious. | ||
Bro, please watch it. | ||
Oh, so that guy's the villain? | ||
So he's a bad guy with a wolf mask on? | ||
Yeah, I mean, yeah, but you just gotta watch it. | ||
Okay. | ||
He's thrown off, man. | ||
He drives around like that? | ||
You gotta watch it, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Oh, they're doing a Creep 2. Yeah, they did. | ||
They did a Creep 2? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, they did do a Creep 2. Creep 1 was 2014, Creep 2 2017. There you go. | |
Underrated horror movie. | ||
So Creep 2 is alright, you know what I'm saying? | ||
It's kind of like Grease, like you should've just left it alone with the first one. | ||
But... | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Kind of like Rambo. | ||
Correct, but... | ||
It was a Rambo 2? | ||
There's only like three or four Rambos. | ||
How many Rambos have there been? | ||
I think there's even a new one coming out. | ||
Apparently, the last one is hilarious. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, my friend Joey Diaz saw the last one. | ||
He said, dude, it's a comedy. | ||
You gotta watch this. | ||
Sylvester Stallone is 80 years old. | ||
He's killing everybody. | ||
He's fucking everybody up and shooting everybody. | ||
He kills like 150 people. | ||
Apparently, it's ridiculous. | ||
You ever seen Badass with Machete? | ||
Badass. | ||
Yeah, he's like the grandpa and he got caught whooping these dudes on camera and he went viral for it. | ||
Then he becomes like a hometown hero. | ||
When was that movie? | ||
Damn. | ||
2012. I don't think I saw that either. | ||
I ain't gonna lie, I've seen a lot of movies. | ||
From When You're on the Road? | ||
Yeah, that's what I was doing while watching. | ||
My mama had like... | ||
So we had the TV, and then there was a big-ass entertainment center surrounding it, and it was just filled with movies. | ||
DVDs, VHSs down here in the middle. | ||
I remember watching Monkeybone on VHS. Oh, wow. | ||
That was an old one. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I've been trying to shoot a video like that. | ||
I like Monkeybone. | ||
Whoopi Goldberg's in it and all that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Land of the Nightmares. | ||
It's funny how Scarface became the gangster movie. | ||
The gangster movie. | ||
Everybody knew all the words to Scarface. | ||
You know what I think is the most gangsterest movie ever? | ||
What? | ||
Apocalypto. | ||
Oh, that's a good one. | ||
Bro. | ||
That's a good one. | ||
My favorite part is when he escapes him and he goes back in his jungle and he's like, this is my jungle. | ||
And then they just got getting knocked off one by one. | ||
That shit's wicked, man. | ||
I like that shit. | ||
That's a wicked movie, man. | ||
That's a wicked movie. | ||
I like that one. | ||
And that was back when Mel Gibson, like, everybody's like, Mel Gibson's fucking crazy. | ||
Really? | ||
They thought of him like that? | ||
Yeah, he got pulled over. | ||
He was drunk and said a bunch of wild shit about Jews. | ||
Wow. | ||
Then the cops had it recorded. | ||
Damn. | ||
Yeah, and, you know, Mel is... | ||
unidentified
|
Damn, what's up? | |
I feel like I got lately. | ||
I've been hearing everybody talk shit about Jews. | ||
It's popular these days. | ||
It's popular these days. | ||
Yeah, it's because of what's going on in Gaza. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Yeah, it's the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. | ||
Oh, yes, bro. | ||
Hey, I ain't gonna lie. | ||
I know she scared the fuck out of them. | ||
I heard this movie recently described as just like it's a non-stop chase, which it kind of is. | ||
Kind of is, but it's fucking good. | ||
What is a non-stop chase? | ||
Like the whole movie is a chase scene. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Sometimes it's just a scene in a movie, but it's like the whole movie. | ||
It was a brutal fucking movie, too. | ||
Yo, you know what's good? | ||
Have you seen Shogun? | ||
unidentified
|
That series that's on FX? Nah, I can't get into series. | |
Oh, man. | ||
Yeah, it's good? | ||
This one's good. | ||
Wow. | ||
This one's good. | ||
Wow. | ||
This is on Japan in the 1600s, and these dudes are starving at sea, and their boat washes ashore. | ||
In Japan, they get captured, and they kill a couple of them, and this one dude... | ||
I don't want to spoil it for you, but it's just like showing you the reality. | ||
It's very well done. | ||
Yeah, I believe it. | ||
The reality of life in Japan, in Osaka, in 1600. It's a fucking incredible, incredible series. | ||
It's so well done. | ||
This is it right here. | ||
Yeah, they did it. | ||
So good. | ||
Oh, I feel like I've seen commercials of it. | ||
Yeah, it's new. | ||
It's still airing. | ||
I think they've only aired three episodes so far. | ||
Maybe four by now. | ||
Okay, so you're into this. | ||
How did you feel about Hitman? | ||
I didn't watch Yip Man. | ||
I mean, I knew the history of Yip Man, which I think it's kind of based on, who's Bruce Lee's Wing Chun instructor. | ||
But I don't get into those kind of movies that much. | ||
Those kind of kung fu movies. | ||
Too much of my analytical brain for fighting is like, why are you fighting like this? | ||
Just grab that dude. | ||
Kick his legs out from under him. | ||
Take him down. | ||
unidentified
|
Strangle him. | |
This is stupid. | ||
This is stupid. | ||
Why are you guys standing here in front of each other doing this shit? | ||
Yeah, I dig it. | ||
unidentified
|
I dig it. | |
It just looked cool. | ||
My dad always called it pretty fighting. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I could never get into kung fu movies. | ||
A lot of my friends were into kung fu movies. | ||
I'd go, but I didn't get into them. | ||
Scary movies. | ||
How you feel about scary movies? | ||
Love scary movies. | ||
That's where I'm at. | ||
Like, bro, it's almost like weed ain't enough no more. | ||
I need meth. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Damn. | ||
Because, like, bro, I was already watching scary movies with my mama. | ||
Like, that was her favorite. | ||
So, like, now I don't even want a scary movie. | ||
I want something that's, like, disturbing. | ||
Well, what is that one movie where that dude wears, like, a clown face and kills everybody? | ||
Bro, you gotta watch Creep. | ||
That's what I'm trying to tell you. | ||
Creep's a good one. | ||
But this one's like that, too. | ||
I will watch Creep. | ||
For sure. | ||
There's some fucking, it's like real gruesome, horrible shit. | ||
Ooh. | ||
And the dude dresses like a clown. | ||
They made a couple of them. | ||
unidentified
|
Terrifier. | |
Terrifier! | ||
That's right. | ||
That's my dad's favorite. | ||
That's crazy about it love. | ||
Like my dad wants him tatted on him. | ||
His name's Art the Clown. | ||
Your dad wants him chatting on him, that's amazing. | ||
Pull a video, pull a clip up of Terrifier. | ||
This motherfucker is legitimately terrifying too. | ||
Yes, yes, yes, yes. | ||
And he'll just be smiling. | ||
Yeah, look at it. | ||
You seen how he fucking cut homegirl from the puss down? | ||
Yeah, not nice. | ||
Really not a nice thing to do. | ||
Ew, look at them teeth. | ||
It's funny how people disrespect him. | ||
They think he's funny. | ||
They think he's silly. | ||
Like, look at you, you fucking loser. | ||
Yeah, that's really what it is. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They always have to disrespect him first. | ||
And then he's like, get away, you fucking stupid clown. | ||
Then that 16-year-old feeling comes back. | ||
Yeah, they're just chopping him up. | ||
He's like, oh, you finna die. | ||
Makes Pennywise look like Krusty. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Oh, shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's a crazy movie, man. | ||
Rob Zombie was also gnarly, too. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
I was a big fan of his work. | ||
Yeah, he's a cool dude. | ||
I got to meet him. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, I did a podcast with him back in the day. | ||
Sick. | ||
How is he? | ||
He's great. | ||
Great. | ||
Great. | ||
unidentified
|
I believe it. | |
It's so interesting that that guy got really into making horror movies, too. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, and he does those same kind of movies, like, really fucked up. | ||
I feel like he had the best Halloween, too. | ||
Yeah, he had a really good Halloween. | ||
For sure. | ||
How many of those have there been? | ||
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
Too many. | ||
There's been so many of those movies. | ||
Yeah, I feel like a lot of the scary movies now are a little lame just because they just make them complete fucking studs. | ||
It's more of like an action movie for the scary killer. | ||
He just comes in and just fucking fucks shit up, goes apeshit. | ||
Like, bro, I want to be scared. | ||
I don't want to see him fucking take on the whole army. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
It's an action movie. | ||
I prefer action movies. | ||
A good one. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, a good action movie. | ||
unidentified
|
What's a good action movie? | |
Well, a stupid good action movie, it's good, but it's not realistic, is John Wick. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's a great one. | ||
You need to watch Avengement. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Avengement? | ||
What's Avengement? | ||
It's about... | ||
I personally, like, I always say that he... | ||
I ain't gonna say he'd whoop John Wick, but he'd put John Wick in fight. | ||
Really? | ||
For sure. | ||
Have you seen Sisu? | ||
Sisu, no I haven't. | ||
Sisu is about a dude in World War II that's basically like a John Wick in World War II. And he kills like 100 Nazis by himself. | ||
It's fucking amazing. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
Yeah, it sounds sick. | ||
It's a real good movie too. | ||
It's real well done. | ||
unidentified
|
Sisu? | |
Sisu. | ||
Sisu. | ||
What is it? | ||
What country? | ||
Finnish? | ||
I think so. | ||
Yeah, I think you're right. | ||
Yeah, no, fucking Avengement. | ||
I forgot what his name was, but he was a fighter, and his brother was doing some gangster shit, and he ended up going down for his brother, and fucking, yup, right here. | ||
He's in UK. Avengement. | ||
The prison that he's in is so grinded. | ||
They call it the meat grinder. | ||
Yo, I'm talking about just fucking, fucking shit up, bro. | ||
Jesus Hit him with a napalm Alright Alright He's like, yeah, bro. | ||
He was like, you just gotta callous the mind. | ||
Bro, he was like, man, he's a badass. | ||
Look at him. | ||
Then that's when he escapes prison. | ||
And you know what's my favorite part about him? | ||
What? | ||
His heart. | ||
Why he does everything that he does in this movie. | ||
Why's that? | ||
You just gotta watch it. | ||
I always feel like I'm being conned when a movie does that. | ||
When there's like a hit man with a heart of gold. | ||
I'm like, shut the fuck up. | ||
Just shut the fuck up. | ||
I know what you're doing, bitch. | ||
I'm not 12. Yeah, of course. | ||
He definitely was doing this to be a savage, but he might as well end on some good shit. | ||
Yeah, but there's always the guy who's the contract killer, but he has rules. | ||
The person has to be guilty. | ||
He has a whole thing. | ||
Yeah, yeah, for sure. | ||
That's like the gray man. | ||
The Outfit. | ||
Have you seen The Outfit? | ||
That's another good one. | ||
My dad just put me on that one. | ||
It's like some old-school gangster time where they wear suits and shit. | ||
Mobsters more. | ||
I think that's more gangster than me. | ||
I've always been into the mobs more than some gangbangers. | ||
Yeah? | ||
For sure. | ||
It's just player to me. | ||
Like old-school mob movies. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
Like The Godfather and all that. | ||
Even The Goodfellas and things like that. | ||
It's just player to me. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Well, there's something about it. | ||
That lifestyle is so appealing to some people that feel like their life is mundane and boring. | ||
You know, like, that's why The Sopranos was so good. | ||
Tony Soprano was a straight-up murderer, and he was the hero. | ||
A straight-up murderer. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
He killed Christopher Moltisanti in his fucking Cadillac Escalade seat. | ||
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
He just killed him right next to him. | ||
He was a killer, but you liked him. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He was a liar, a killer, a thief. | ||
Who were the two brothers? | ||
The two brothers, I think it was based on the true story, too. | ||
They were from Germany or something. | ||
The Krays from England. | ||
England, holy shit. | ||
The Krays, bro. | ||
Just from the actors in the movie, they looked like brutes. | ||
They were brutes. | ||
Yeah, I believe it. | ||
Bro, England didn't play. | ||
Bro, that's what I'm saying. | ||
People think about England like fish and chips and fucking tea. | ||
Cheerio. | ||
Yeah, nah. | ||
There's hood everywhere, bro. | ||
It fucked me up when I saw there was hood outside of Bay City because I thought Bay City was like the only hood in the whole world. | ||
The Kraytons were running. | ||
Look at those two, bro. | ||
Are they from Liverpool? | ||
What part of England were they from? | ||
They'll smack the shit out of you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
They'll fucking stab you right in the dick. | ||
Where's my crumpet? | ||
Where are these guys from? | ||
unidentified
|
They look like... | |
Like, they just look like fucking boots. | ||
Yeah, mostly in the east end of London from the late 50s until their arrest in 1968. Damn, so they ran shit for 18 years. | ||
That's a good run. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The movie's crazy, too. | ||
Yeah, no, it is. | ||
The movie, apparently, is not too... | ||
Off. | ||
They didn't take any... | ||
Yeah. | ||
They didn't take any liberties. | ||
It's basically the story, I believe. | ||
That's sick. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Again, it's weird where we like movies about bad people. | ||
You know, there's something about that. | ||
Strange. | ||
Sicario. | ||
I don't think I know that one. | ||
Oh, you never saw Sicario? | ||
Dude. | ||
That's a great fucking movie. | ||
Put me on. | ||
Show me real quick. | ||
That's Benicio Del Toro, man. | ||
That's a great fucking movie. | ||
Sicario is all about Mexican assassins. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude. | ||
Sicario. | ||
Emily Blunt. | ||
Benicio Del Toro. | ||
It's a good fucking movie. | ||
And Taylor Sheridan did it. | ||
The guy who did Yellowstone. | ||
Oh, you know Ryan Bingham? | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
I fucking met him at the rodeo. | ||
He fucks with me. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Everybody fucks with you, dude, once they hear you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, right, right. | |
This is a good fucking movie, man. | ||
It's heavy. | ||
Nah, that shit looks gnarly. | ||
Yeah, it's a heavy movie. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Did you see The Last Purge? | ||
It made me think of The Last Purge. | ||
Nah, I don't like those Purge movies. | ||
No? | ||
How come why? | ||
No, because I get prepared. | ||
When I see Purge movies, I start fucking loading magazines. | ||
I feel like we're close to it. | ||
We could be close to it. | ||
I never felt that until the George Floyd riots. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, the George Floyd riots. | ||
Here's the thing about riots. | ||
This is my feeling. | ||
Okay. | ||
I support your right to protest, but I'm not going to one of those. | ||
You know why? | ||
Because I think protests are a lot like war. | ||
I think there's a mode inside the human brain. | ||
Let me explain to you. | ||
You ever catch a fish? | ||
You know when you catch a fish? | ||
The moment that fish is on the line, your whole body gets excited. | ||
unidentified
|
Like, oh shit! | |
Oh shit! | ||
That is an ancient thing that is in us because it used to be that was survival. | ||
If you caught that fish, your family was gonna have food. | ||
That's why you get so excited. | ||
I think when people are on the ground marching and they're all together and they're all chanting, that brings war. | ||
It excites that feeling just the way catching a fish excites that feeling. | ||
I think it excites that feeling of war. | ||
When you're like, no more Trump! | ||
unidentified
|
No more Trump! | |
Whatever the fuck it is. | ||
Black Lives Matter! | ||
Whatever it is. | ||
You're looking for someone to say it doesn't matter. | ||
You're looking for someone. | ||
It's not just a protest. | ||
You are stimulating those thoughts of war. | ||
You're marching on the ground with your fellow soldiers. | ||
Even College of the Comrades. | ||
There's a lot of wild shit that's involved in protest that excites people in a very dangerous way. | ||
Yeah, no, yeah, definitely. | ||
I agree. | ||
Mob mentality. | ||
That's what mob mentality is. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, people always talk about mob mentality. | ||
Like if there's something happens, there's a mob of people, people will do wild shit that they will never do normally because that excites the war gene. | ||
There's a war gene inside of us because every human being has survived war. | ||
If you're alive today, that means your genetics survive war. | ||
That means somewhere down the line, whether it's bows and arrows or rifles or whatever, if you got to 2024, if your genes got to 2024, for sure there's some war in those genes. | ||
Damn! | ||
What the fuck? | ||
Damn! | ||
That's why I will not go to protest. | ||
You see, if there's a protest, I'm getting the fuck out of there. | ||
Yeah, it's gonna get wicked. | ||
Because it could get wicked. | ||
Damn, I never thought of how you said that. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
I like that. | ||
It's war. | ||
War is inside of us. | ||
And your body knows when you go to war, you have to switch gears. | ||
You have to switch gears and that's where you beat someone to death with a rock in front of everybody. | ||
You would never do that. | ||
It was just you and that person. | ||
There's something about that experience of being around a lot of people that are all being hostile and all excited together that just fires up parts of people. | ||
And also you feel kind of like a badass because you're a part of a gang. | ||
Yeah, I think it's comforting knowing that there's a bunch of you, like knowing you can't lose. | ||
Which is also like war. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Damn. | ||
unidentified
|
Fuck. | |
Fuck, dude. | ||
I just want to love. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, that's a better way to live. | ||
Yeah. | ||
For sure. | ||
But you also have a lot now. | ||
You know, that's the thing. | ||
Once you have a lot, you're like, you know what? | ||
I just want to love. | ||
But when you don't have a lot and you're like, oh, these motherfuckers have a lot now. | ||
unidentified
|
It's hard to love. | |
Yeah. | ||
It's hard. | ||
It's hard to be comfortable. | ||
I do definitely agree because like I feel like it was harder to be like I feel like then like before I was you know chilling and bliss man like my anger was so horrible like I remember I'd get done being angry and when I would be done like I'd be like all I just want to sleep mmm like don't even talk yeah like fuck like I just want to sleep I'd feel like I got jumped like I just strained my body you know I'm saying just being angry and for no reason Fuck. | ||
Like, bro, for the simplest shit, bro. | ||
Anything. | ||
Like, the wind blew the wrong way and I'd be like, fuck! | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, I don't know what it was. | ||
It's probably pent-up childhood shit. | ||
I feel like it definitely was. | ||
But, you know, like you said, you know, it's easier to love when you have a lot of it. | ||
Yeah, when things are going great for you, it's easier to love. | ||
It's easier to also recognize you want to kind of... | ||
Like, you've experienced bad, and now you're experiencing all this good, and you want to kind of keep that rolling. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
It makes you want to do good. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Or at least me personally, because I know you do good. | ||
You know, because energy's real. | ||
You know, I don't want to say karma or nothing, but like, man, you know, you'd be a whole-ass motherfucker. | ||
Some whole-ass shit's eventually going to catch up to you. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yes, that's a great way to put it. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
Yeah, so why don't you put that on a t-shirt? | ||
Yeah, right? | ||
I'm telling you, bro. | ||
But, you know, you do good. | ||
You know, like, man, I just like, bro, relationships is everything, too. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Because, like, just because I don't know how to do it, man. | ||
Homeboy right here, I'm finna make it my best friend. | ||
He's gonna do it for me. | ||
Right. | ||
You know? | ||
Yeah, relationships are very, very important. | ||
People that don't have friends are lost. | ||
Lost. | ||
The idea that you could be, like, the only one person having fun. | ||
That's not real. | ||
You can't have fun unless your friends are having fun. | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
If you're doing great in your life and all your friends are suicidal and depressed, that's not a good time, man. | ||
Yeah, and if you're good with it and, like, they still depressed and shit, like, you're throwed off, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Like, my boys, like, man, I've never, ever, ever flew first class, ever. | ||
And my boy, Boomhauer, I started bringing him with me and I fucking started booking first class because, like, I want him to experience that shit, you know? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Like, man, what makes me happy is seeing my people happy and knowing I did it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, we be out there chilling and shit like that, and I do all this, and I cater to everybody, and then finally I just sit back, light my joint up, and I just look. | ||
And I see my partner over there laughing. | ||
I see Cuz right here with some drinks, and he laughing. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And we just chilling. | ||
I'm like, damn, I did that. | ||
Yeah, that's a good experience. | ||
I did that. | ||
The problem with rappers have. | ||
I do shit for people that I know would never do shit for me. | ||
But I do it because, like, man, that's just who I am. | ||
I just want to love. | ||
That's a great sign of your character, that you experience that while you're having success. | ||
That you want to do good for other people and make other people feel good. | ||
That's a great sign. | ||
It makes me feel good. | ||
Well, you're a wise man. | ||
That's a great sign of your character. | ||
Because a lot of people, when they start doing good, they start going, I'm the fucking man. | ||
Yeah, I'm the fucking man. | ||
You started off as a nobody, homeboy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Everybody's a nobody. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
You just happen to be good at that. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I just happen to be good at rapping. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
This shit don't make my dick bigger. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Real life. | ||
Imagine if it did. | ||
Yeah, that'd be bad though. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Nas would have the biggest dick on earth. | ||
Rewind! | ||
unidentified
|
Rewind! | |
Yes! | ||
Because it's hard telling a story. | ||
Right. | ||
It's hard telling a story and rhyming. | ||
Right. | ||
It's hard telling a story, rhyming, and telling the story backwards. | ||
It's a masterclass. | ||
Get the fuck out of here, bro. | ||
Masterclass in writing. | ||
I was just listening to Rewind yesterday, and I was thinking that exact same thing. | ||
Like, how good is that? | ||
How good is that? | ||
Smoke goes back in the blunt. | ||
Bullet goes back in the gun. | ||
It's an amazing rap. | ||
Shoot, don't please. | ||
Yeah, and it's so good. | ||
It's so well written. | ||
It makes sense. | ||
It flows, you know what I'm saying? | ||
He's the best writer. | ||
Think so? | ||
He's the best writer. | ||
He's the best writer. | ||
His lyrics are so goddamn good. | ||
He's the GOAT. But you know who's super underrated and people don't give him his props? | ||
It's Willie D from the Ghetto Boys. | ||
Willie D. And he was knocking motherfuckers out. | ||
Knocking motherfuckers out. | ||
He's a legit boxer. | ||
Willie D's a real boxer. | ||
He showed me a video of one of his fights and we were watching on his phone. | ||
I was like, dude. | ||
I'm like, this is good. | ||
Like, you got skills. | ||
Like, if you told me this is like a middleweight contender who's coming up, I'd be like, oh, that guy's good. | ||
No shit. | ||
He's good. | ||
Willie can knock people the fuck out. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But Willie wrote Fuck A War in 45 minutes. | ||
You ever heard of Fuck A War? | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-mm. | |
Alright, listen. | ||
Sorry, YouTube. | ||
We're gonna have to edit. | ||
I need to play this for him. | ||
Let's do it. | ||
YouTube will cut this out. | ||
Can we cut this out? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And we'll come back. | ||
We'll come back for the Spotify people you could... | ||
Whatever. | ||
We'll figure it out. | ||
But we'll cut this out. | ||
Listen to this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I agree, though. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I agree with that, too. | ||
But Willie tells stories. | ||
Like, there's a lot going on in his writing. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
That's what I love about 90s hip-hop. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, correct. | |
Like, the lyrics of 90s hip-hop. | ||
They were saying shit. | ||
Oh, yeah, man. | ||
I grew up on 90s hip-hop. | ||
When I lived in New York, all I did was play pool. | ||
Play pool and do comedy. | ||
And when I was playing pool, that was the 90s hip-hop era. | ||
People were listening to Cool G Rap and DJ Polo. | ||
It was like... | ||
It was a different time, man. | ||
I think, to me, M was the best. | ||
M and Big L, when it came to those storytellers. | ||
People forgot about Big L, man. | ||
Bro, Big L is one of the reasons why I'm an animal today. | ||
Really? | ||
A Mexican with no green card showed me who Big L was. | ||
Really? | ||
Yup. | ||
My partner, Furman. | ||
Wow. | ||
I found out about Big L because I was a Gangstar fan. | ||
And so in the beginning of full clip, it says, Big L, rest in peace. | ||
And it goes into that, and I was like, who's Big L? Oh, and that's when, yeah, loophole from there. | ||
Yeah, I found out Big L, and Big L had been murdered. | ||
I'm like, oh, shit. | ||
Yeah, I think I was in the seventh grade when I found out about him, eighth grade. | ||
Yeah, there's so many hip-hop artists, but Cool G Rap is one that I bring up all the time because people forgot about him. | ||
Tech N9ne, too. | ||
Tech N9ne. | ||
Tech N9ne's another band. | ||
I remember I was jamming Tech N9ne, Yellow Wolf, and all these dudes. | ||
I was jamming Worldwide Choppers, and people would be like, turn this shit off. | ||
Like, what the fuck? | ||
I'd be like, bitch, y'all are trippin', you know what I'm sayin'? | ||
But their minds wasn't there, you know what I'm sayin'? | ||
They was like on that, I think, Mumble Rappers' belly comin' out, the fuckin', you know what I'm sayin'? | ||
The drugged up SoundCloud rappers was here, so all that shit was out the window to them. | ||
Well, people forgot about some of the great Mexican hip-hop too, like Kid Frost. | ||
Kid Frost was cool. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I don't know if you know Lil Bing and Big Flake. | ||
No, I don't. | ||
Yeah, those are some Texas Mexicans that was like really the shit. | ||
And my uncles too. | ||
My uncles was like, they was SPM to me. | ||
And they was hard. | ||
So like even just having my uncles, them being my Mexican mentors, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Like... | ||
It was ripping shit, real life. | ||
Nice. | ||
Ripping shit up. | ||
If you wanted to develop a rapper, you kind of... | ||
The perfect story for it. | ||
It was like you got your PhD in the streets. | ||
Bro, that's what I'm saying. | ||
Even my dad, he put me through gladiator school with that shit. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I remember being like, Dad, I don't want to rap. | ||
Because everybody was trying to be a rapper. | ||
Dad, I don't want to be rapping no more. | ||
He'd be like, shut the fuck up, get on this beat. | ||
For real. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And he would have me rap not because he wanted me to be better, not because he wanted me to push me. | ||
He was being selfish. | ||
It was his entertainment. | ||
Yeah, but also, he probably knew that that's the only way to really develop a man correctly. | ||
Correct, but I don't think that was on his mind. | ||
No? | ||
Have you talked to him about this? | ||
I mean, I hear him talk about it. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And he would just be fucked up. | ||
Like, get down here. | ||
I want to hear you. | ||
You know? | ||
Because he'd been hearing me since forever. | ||
Right. | ||
Since I was rapping through a window. | ||
Well, there is a lot of that with parents of athletes. | ||
You know? | ||
Like, they couldn't make it in the sport. | ||
But then they're like super involved parents and they force their kid to train and go to camps. | ||
But nobody in my family did music. | ||
No one? | ||
No one. | ||
Really? | ||
So it was just your dad just loved it and he wanted you to do it? | ||
My mama loved it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And then my dad was just a fan of it. | ||
Wow. | ||
You know? | ||
Well, that's fucking dope. | ||
Having your dad be a fan of your shit. | ||
Yeah, that's also another thing that I was super grateful for, because there was a lot of kids that I was growing up with, and their parents drilled them to be something else, you know? | ||
Exactly what you were saying. | ||
They're like, man, fuck all that. | ||
Even my stepmama, she wanted me to go, bro, I took the ASVAB like five times and failed every time. | ||
I even cheated and still failed. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Real life. | ||
I got to ask that for dummies, rip those out of the fucking page, put them in my pants, went in there trying to look for answers. | ||
It just wasn't for me. | ||
And my grandpa Skip, he was like, Virgil? | ||
He was like, he said, do what the fuck Virgil wants to do. | ||
He said, but whatever it is, just make sure you fucking do it. | ||
So if you want to be a rapper, you can be a rapper, but make sure you fucking do it. | ||
And he's like, now he's like, you know what I'm saying? | ||
You're gonna have to have a job. | ||
You're gonna want a phone. | ||
Now you got a phone bill. | ||
You're gonna want a car to move around to go to these shows. | ||
You're gonna have fucking card notes and all this extra shit. | ||
And he just, you know, just giving me game on it. | ||
And his story, like his main thing to get to me was just do it though. | ||
You know, fucking do it. | ||
Just do it. | ||
Do whatever you want to do. | ||
Just do it. | ||
But that's a big thing in life is just doing things. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So many people just lay it. | ||
The hardest part is showing up. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Yeah. | ||
Always, still, to this day. | ||
Correct. | ||
To this day, the hardest part, going to the gym, is actually deciding you're gonna go, getting in there, and then once you get going, it's pretty easy. | ||
It's like, ah, fuck, I'm here. | ||
Yeah, even when it's hard, it's like, I know what I'm doing. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
I've done this forever. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, correct. | |
And you get accustomed to doing it. | ||
And then if you're, like, that's where your dad, like, really served you well, because he made you do it. | ||
Even if it was for his entertainment, damn, you got something out of that. | ||
Think about all those reps you put in. | ||
All those times you were rapping from the time you were a little kid, all those reps, just constant reps, constant reps. | ||
Now it's mostly memory at this point. | ||
Exactly. | ||
It's part of you. | ||
It's like you could wake you up at 3 o'clock in the morning and say, start rapping. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
And you fire right up. | ||
Correct. | ||
Yeah, it becomes a part of you. | ||
And that only happens through repetition. | ||
You've got to get those reps in. | ||
Yeah, career. | ||
There's no other way around. | ||
There's no shortcuts. | ||
There's no easy road. | ||
When you meet a dude and he's a bad motherfucker and he's 24 or 25, you go, how long have you been doing this? | ||
I was a little kid. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's what I try to tell people. | ||
I try to compare. | ||
There's some people, as soon as they were walking, they were in karate. | ||
Right. | ||
As soon as I was talking, I was rapping. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Music is what taught me... | ||
It didn't teach me English and how to talk, but it taught me how to put shit together, really. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
If that makes sense. | ||
It does make sense because you're formulating raps. | ||
You're not just talking to your friends. | ||
You're formulating shit that's going to be entertaining. | ||
So it's exciting, that creative part of your mind. | ||
And again, you're developing that way. | ||
And you're developing that way with the internet. | ||
So you have the influence of all these rappers. | ||
You could get anybody who ever lived. | ||
You can listen to 100 Miles and Runnin'. | ||
You can listen to Eminem shit. | ||
You can listen to Snoop Dogg shit. | ||
You can listen to anything, anytime you want. | ||
It's a magical time for someone to be inspired and influenced. | ||
Correct. | ||
I agree. | ||
Damn, that's beautiful. | ||
Especially the MTV music videos. | ||
I don't know if you remember that. | ||
Yes, I remember those. | ||
So my nanny, she was working at the plant. | ||
So like 3, 4 o'clock in the morning, we're up. | ||
She's taking me to the babysitters. | ||
I'm putting MTV on because I want to watch some shit. | ||
Music videos start playing. | ||
I remember watching the Black Keys. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And they had that tighten up. | ||
Yes. | ||
And I remember being a kid watching that. | ||
I wanted to do music like that. | ||
Bro, those guys are the coolest. | ||
I've never met them, but they seem... | ||
How long are you here for? | ||
I gotta be in South Padre tomorrow and then California for Rolling Loud. | ||
I'll be back on the 18th. | ||
Tomorrow, I'm going to see the Black Keys at Stubbs in town. | ||
Are you shitting me? | ||
Yeah, bro, I took them to the club Tuesday night. | ||
They came, they did the podcast, we hung out. | ||
I got a little too high. | ||
I was barbecued. | ||
But it was just a little... | ||
I just love them so much. | ||
They're so cool. | ||
And Patrick is hilarious. | ||
That dude is funny like a comedian. | ||
He's funny. | ||
I told him, I go, Don, I don't want to fuck up your life, man, but you could do comedy. | ||
Because there's dudes you meet that could do... | ||
I used to work for this dude who's a private investigator. | ||
I feel like being funny, though, in a comedian is different. | ||
It's only a little different. | ||
It's next-door neighbors. | ||
You just gotta figure out how to go over. | ||
Yeah, but... | ||
But it's a skill. | ||
You learn how to do it. | ||
It's gonna take time, but you can do it. | ||
I believe it. | ||
It's like a podcast. | ||
I tell everyone, if you were an interesting person to talk to, you could have a podcast. | ||
Correct. | ||
But you gotta learn how to do it. | ||
Correct. | ||
You gotta learn how to not interrupt people. | ||
You gotta learn how to, like... | ||
You gotta bring the most out of them. | ||
You gotta learn the flow of the conversation. | ||
It seems like it's just talking, because it is just talking. | ||
But it's an art form. | ||
And being funny. | ||
If you're funny with your friends, you can do it. | ||
You just have to figure out how to do it. | ||
Yeah, I definitely agree. | ||
But to me, I feel like it would be hard just because my mind's already so everywhere. | ||
I suck at focusing. | ||
Yeah, but you focus when you rap. | ||
Oh, that's it. | ||
But that's it. | ||
But that's all you need, a thing that you know you could do that now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Bro, as good as you are, you could do anything you wanted. | ||
You could do anything. | ||
If you decided to stop rapping and you got super excited about making cars, you'd make the dopest cars. | ||
Correct. | ||
It's just a thing that a person... | ||
It's Miyamoto Musashi, who's a samurai in the 1400s. | ||
He wrote this book called The Book of Five Rings. | ||
It's about strategy. | ||
Miyamoto Musashi killed 60 men in one-on-one combat. | ||
Jesus. | ||
He was like a legendary samurai. | ||
I have him tattooed on my arm. | ||
My whole right sleeve is Miyamoto Musashi. | ||
I see. | ||
Because he said this one thing, and I read this when I was like 16 years old. | ||
Once you know the way broadly, you can see it in all things. | ||
Once you know the way broadly, you can see it in all things. | ||
Once you become a master at something, you can see what it takes to be a master in all things. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
That's one of the reasons why I enjoy music so much. | ||
This guy has no musical ability at all. | ||
I have nothing. | ||
I have no talent. | ||
So I've never tried. | ||
So I see people do music. | ||
I'm like, yeah, just make it. | ||
Look at this magic experience. | ||
This dude's up there just singing and dancing and playing music and my whole body's excited. | ||
It's like I'm on a drug. | ||
I'm like, wow, this is amazing. | ||
It's magic. | ||
I love it. | ||
There's something about it, man. | ||
It's like when you see people at the top of their game with anything, it's so exciting. | ||
Yeah, not correct. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
And you, the way you do that with rap, bro, you would just have to have a thing that you love the way you love rapping. | ||
If there was a thing that came along and you loved that thing as much as you, whether it's painting, whatever the fuck it is. | ||
I'd dominate. | ||
You would dominate. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, correct. | |
You would dominate. | ||
I agree. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because you would have the same focus and energy that you have with your music that you would have with that. | ||
Yeah, that's why I'm grateful for the music, man. | ||
That other shit, I feel like I just always sucked at. | ||
I have zero patience. | ||
I suck at talking to people. | ||
I don't want to talk to a lot of people. | ||
But you're good talking right now. | ||
Yeah, because I want to talk to you. | ||
Yeah, but that's what it is. | ||
That's the secret to this podcast. | ||
I only talk to people I want to talk to. | ||
Correct. | ||
So I reached out to you. | ||
I was like, this dude seems cool as fuck. | ||
I want to talk to him. | ||
unidentified
|
I thank you, man. | |
I thank you. | ||
But that's how I do the show. | ||
I just only find people like, what's the Black Keys? | ||
I can't wait to talk to them. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I would talk to them at a diner. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I'd talk to them anywhere. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
We could just go to the park and talk. | ||
Okay. | ||
I want to talk to you. | ||
Yeah, that's sick. | ||
I love talking to interesting people because I think it changes the way you see the world. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
You see the world through their eyes. | ||
I feel like you get a little something out of a person every time you sit and talk to them. | ||
You ever met somebody and you were like, man, you're told off. | ||
I almost get it. | ||
Yeah, a lot of people like that. | ||
Comedians, man. | ||
Comedians, almost all of them are off in some way. | ||
To want to be standing on stage and make people laugh, tell stories, that's hard to do, man. | ||
No, yeah, bro, definitely. | ||
To want to do that, you're a weirdo. | ||
And then being able to go from a story to another one and then bring it right back in where you been. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
You're a bad motherfucker, bro. | ||
It takes a lot of work. | ||
But it's just like rap or anything else. | ||
It's just time and reps and you're trying to make it better. | ||
Correct. | ||
Looking at it all the time, fucking with it, twisting it around, changing it, adding to it, taking it away, editing it. | ||
But that's a thing, like all things. | ||
Like, all things. | ||
And you really put your mind and your soul to it. | ||
All things. | ||
You find where the best version of it is. | ||
What genre of music was the first thing you heard and you were like, this is the music I want to listen to? | ||
Man, I was real lucky that... | ||
Because you fucked me up with the Ghetto Boys. | ||
Oh, I love Ghetto Boys. | ||
Let's see. | ||
I love Ghetto Boys. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like I said, I love 90s rap. | ||
I love a lot of East Coast 90s rap. | ||
Like I said, cool G rap. | ||
You ever heard... | ||
Do you know who the brand new heavies are? | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
The Brand New Heavies are like a jazz group that did collaborations with Gangstar. | ||
They did a thing called the Heavy Rhyme Experience. | ||
So it was this one CD they put out in the 90s. | ||
And they did like jazz music, but they had like, play Death Threat by Cool G Rap. | ||
One more. | ||
This is the last one, I promise. | ||
Sorry, YouTube. | ||
We're going to have to... | ||
You were just saying that you think rap came from jazz? | ||
Yeah, hell yeah. | ||
I think rap came from jazz. | ||
I mean, listen to it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
It's got like a groove. | ||
It's got that bounce. | ||
It's got that kick in there. | ||
I think they made those sounds specifically so people could rap over it with live music. | ||
A friend of mine. | ||
The Roots? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Holy shit. | ||
The Roots had some fucking great jams. | ||
I can't wait. | ||
You know what? | ||
I feel like this is a perfect podcast to say it on. | ||
I can't wait until Rock comes back. | ||
I feel like Rock is slowly dying, bro. | ||
I want it to stay alive forever. | ||
Like, I can't wait till a good rock band come back out and they feel like a three day grace or like a crossfade. | ||
They feel like a, you know, something like that. | ||
Do I think there's just cycles of things? | ||
I think if one killer band comes out now, a bunch will emerge. | ||
Yeah, because they made it cool again. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But not because they haven't been found. | ||
They're out right now. | ||
Probably. | ||
We just don't know who they are. | ||
Yes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There's another me coming around somewhere. | ||
Probably. | ||
There definitely is. | ||
Definitely. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, you just got to find, bro, like prisons? | ||
Prisons are filled up with some badass motherfuckers, bro. | ||
Of course. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I've met a lot of people. | ||
I've seen a lot of people in prison. | ||
Like, bro, they master that shit, you know? | ||
Like you said, they're with it every day. | ||
Twisting it, pulling it, figuring it out, adding shit, taking it out. | ||
No distractions. | ||
Like, bro, there's motherfuckers in there making fucking tattoo guns with nothing! | ||
Yeah. | ||
They're doing amazing tattoos. | ||
Come on, bro. | ||
I'm sure you've seen some prison tattoos are insanely good. | ||
Yeah, a lot of my dads are in prison. | ||
His are crazy. | ||
Some dudes inside are so talented. | ||
And because they have to be so ingenious to take pens and figure out a way- And then a single needle at that. | ||
A spring to a pen. | ||
Fucking toothbrush and a motor from something. | ||
Yeah, like, what the fuck? | ||
I'm trying to tell you, bro, there's some bad motherfuckers in there, bro. | ||
Alright, so my Tio Chewy, he had me and my cousin Romeo in bars when we were, like, five years old in Mexico. | ||
And, like, little border towns, Matamoros and things like that. | ||
And Laredo, Eagle Pass. | ||
And... | ||
I remember there was this Mexican, and he was from Mexico. | ||
I don't know if he was slow or simple-minded or what, but there was something off about him. | ||
And he couldn't do a lot, but there was one thing he could do, and it was this old-school boombox radio. | ||
The speakers, all the keys, you know, like the square one, old-school ones, and fucking... | ||
He would bust that motherfucker down to springs and screws and fucking put it back together. | ||
Bro, like bust that shit down to like springs, bro. | ||
Like I don't even know, like just like whatever, like to the smallest piece and then put that shit back together. | ||
Shit was sick. | ||
Yeah, there's mechanics out there. | ||
Yeah, some people are just, some people like, even if they don't know how to do anything else like that right there, that's what he knows. | ||
They get obsessed with it. | ||
They get obsessed with part numbers and shit. | ||
Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
They know where the gaskets go. | ||
That OCD stuff, like I've seen somebody open a door and they'll open and shut it, open and shut it, open and shut it, and then walk through. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is that some form of throwed off? | ||
Yeah, that's throwed off. | ||
Definitely, right? | ||
Yeah, 100%. | ||
They wash their hands like 15 times in a row. | ||
They can't stop. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
Some people have to touch a door three times before they go through it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I feel like I have to do this. | ||
But I've done this as a kid, though. | ||
Especially now. | ||
Touching your fingers? | ||
No, like... | ||
Doing that with your nails? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I don't know why. | ||
It's just a tick. | ||
It's just a thing you like to do. | ||
OCD is a disease. | ||
That's a mental health disease. | ||
Yeah, I know people who've had it. | ||
They made something called Snapchat Syndrome. | ||
Did you see that? | ||
What's that? | ||
That's fucking stupid. | ||
That's in the dictionary now. | ||
So the people, like, they're going to get surgery to look like these filters. | ||
Oh. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, that's crazy, bro. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You're really only supposed to, like, God made you to give a fuck about what your family thinks and you meet, like, your cousin, your brother, your grandma, your thea. | ||
Even once, like, it's your third cousin, fuck them. | ||
Snapchat dysmorphia, a body image disorder characterized by the need to heavily edit one's own digital image. | ||
At its most severe, the disorder may cause people to seek out cosmetic procedures in order to replicate the altered images they present online. | ||
That's ill. | ||
That's ill, bro. | ||
That's sick as fuck. | ||
Well, that is one thing that's happening with social media. | ||
It's twisting people's ideas of what's real. | ||
Yeah, bro. | ||
And I don't know about y'all, but to me, there's such a thing as too much. | ||
But the women from 2003... | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Who was it? | ||
Paris Hilton that made it fucking cute to wear the jeans below her waist? | ||
Those type of women? | ||
Like Jennifer Aniston? | ||
Oh my god. | ||
You like that? | ||
Oh my god, bro. | ||
That's your one? | ||
Holy fuck. | ||
I'd still get her pregnant to this day. | ||
It might be hard. | ||
She's like 50. Yeah, bro. | ||
But I mean, probably no eggs left. | ||
She's a bad motherfucker. | ||
I bet she got a few in there. | ||
For real. | ||
For real. | ||
That's a bad motherfucker right there. | ||
Imagine if like four months later we hear you got her pregnant. | ||
She reaches out. | ||
We're gonna hope. | ||
We're gonna wish for the best. | ||
She loves your music. | ||
She wants to meet up. | ||
I've never had a Mexican. | ||
She's just bored with life and dating these dopey white dudes. | ||
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
Just decides to step up. | ||
Fuck, man. | ||
I mean, shit. | ||
They're a real Mexican rapper. | ||
There's her. | ||
Bro, that's what I'm saying. | ||
Like, bro. | ||
Damn. | ||
Why are you picking one with the dudes? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Why did you? | ||
She's naked. | ||
How about that one right there? | ||
The blue one? | ||
That's a good one too. | ||
How about that blue one on the far right? | ||
Right next to that? | ||
Yeah, look at that. | ||
That's not real? | ||
That's why I didn't pick that. | ||
Damn. | ||
It looks good though. | ||
That's new. | ||
That's more recent. | ||
I was trying to go with the 90s. | ||
She looked good even with age. | ||
Oh, that's Friends! | ||
That's her. | ||
That's Prime. | ||
That's like... | ||
unidentified
|
Fuck, bitch. | |
You're crazy. | ||
Shit's sick. | ||
A lot of dudes fell in love with her on TV. Dude, it's easy. | ||
Like, man, look at her, bro. | ||
There's gotta be a weird world walking around where everybody wants to fuck you. | ||
Maybe. | ||
Definitely. | ||
Think so? | ||
100%. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
Imagine just being a regular hot woman. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Everywhere you go, people are bullshitting you. | ||
Yeah, you know what? | ||
I agree, bro. | ||
Because there was a few days ago, I was at a show, and these girls were like, uh-huh, they were whistling. | ||
I felt like one smacked me in my ass when I was... | ||
Like, imagine a group of girls leaning against the wall like this, all thugged out and shit, and I just walked past and they're all harassing me. | ||
I'm like, oh my God, this is what girls feel like? | ||
Makes me never want to do it again. | ||
Fuck. | ||
Yeah, it's even worse. | ||
Like, I've been hit on by guys. | ||
I used to work out at a gay gym. | ||
There was a gym on Coal Street. | ||
Hold on, wait, wait. | ||
Yeah. | ||
When I did news radio, the sitcom. | ||
But why the gay gym? | ||
Because it was, I didn't know it was gay. | ||
It was just a Gold's Gym. | ||
But it was all gay clientele because it was a gay neighborhood. | ||
Wow. | ||
So, it was close to the studio. | ||
So, I could go during my lunch break. | ||
I'd get to work with bros. | ||
No, no, no, no, no. | ||
They weren't like, hey. | ||
They were like, hey, what's up? | ||
They were like hard, hard gay dudes with fucking Timbalands on and mustaches. | ||
And they were all like spotting each other and they all wore the shortest of shorts. | ||
It was wild. | ||
Pink tank tops. | ||
These dudes were men. | ||
It was like a gay disco. | ||
You ever seen gay disco? | ||
Bro, I'm not kidding, man. | ||
It was like a gay... | ||
I was one of maybe three or four straight men in that whole building. | ||
What the fuck? | ||
The women were like a mirage. | ||
They would walk through, no dude would even notice them. | ||
Wow. | ||
The women, they must have loved it. | ||
Women could just work out there and get no attention. | ||
But dudes would try to spot you for no reason. | ||
You didn't spot, bro? | ||
Just so they could daggle their nuts over your head. | ||
Like, hey man, I'm good. | ||
I'm good. | ||
Get out of here. | ||
unidentified
|
Leave me alone. | |
You ever seen Balls of Fury? | ||
Balls of Fury. | ||
It's a ping-pong movie. | ||
unidentified
|
No! | |
Oh, fuck, please, bro. | ||
What is Balls of Fury? | ||
There were fucking sex slaves, and then he was like, nah, he was like, I shouldn't. | ||
He was like, you know what, I'll do it, fuck it. | ||
And they were like, bet, well, you know, here come the sex slaves, and it's like, six foot five, dude, swole as fuck. | ||
I imagine exactly what you're saying right now, and they just walking in. | ||
Look at this shit, hold on. | ||
Yeah, it's homeboy, the bottle of water. | ||
Oh, Christopher Walken. | ||
Yeah, that's how he talks. | ||
That guy's great. | ||
Christopher Rock is great in everything. | ||
It's a ping-pong movie. | ||
George Lopez is in it. | ||
Oh shit. | ||
What year was this? | ||
Like 07? | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
Oh wow. | ||
Fucking ping-pong movie. | ||
That's hilarious. | ||
Patton Oswalt. | ||
Oh, this is hilarious. | ||
Nah, you definitely have to watch it. | ||
I feel like they don't make movies like this no more, man. | ||
Oh bro, she's another one. | ||
When I saw her, I was like, man. | ||
It's hard to make a comedy now because everyone's scared to offend anybody. | ||
Yeah, everybody lives in their fucking emotions. | ||
Like, bro, who gives a fuck? | ||
It only burns for a little bit, man. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Well, with comedy, they're just worried about getting protested. | ||
South Park is still a thing. | ||
That's all out the window. | ||
But South Park has got the ultimate cheat code. | ||
What? | ||
It's a cartoon, and they don't look at all like people, and you could have them doing wild shit, you could have them die, you could have like, oh, they killed Kenny, you bastards! | ||
You could have people stuff people up their asses. | ||
Remember when that teacher stuffed Paris Hilton up his ass? | ||
No, but I remember when he put the gerbil in his ass. | ||
You remember that one? | ||
That guy put everything in his ass. | ||
South Park is the ultimate show. | ||
They had Jesus and Hitler fucking... | ||
Yeah, they did. | ||
Holy shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He stuffed Paris Hilton up his ass to win the hoe off. | ||
Holy shit, keistered her. | ||
Right up to the shoes. | ||
Jesus. | ||
What would you do if you came in here and you seen this tall ass motherfucker and you just see his feet hanging out dangling from the ass? | ||
I would be very confused. | ||
Yeah, I would help him for sure. | ||
I would have to. | ||
Would you fight him and then pull him out, or would you try to pull him? | ||
unidentified
|
I would shoot him. | |
Shoot him? | ||
You shoot him. | ||
The guy can stuff a man up his ass. | ||
You have to shoot that guy. | ||
Yeah, definitely. | ||
You have to shoot him in the head, otherwise you're going to hurt your friend, because your friend's stuffed in his body cavity. | ||
I was just thinking that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Imagine if I shot him in the chest and I killed Jamie? | ||
No, Jamie! | ||
unidentified
|
No! | |
You have to shoot him in the head. | ||
They killed Jamie! | ||
And then you'd have to get people to help you, and you have to put your feet on his ass. | ||
Oh, fuck! | ||
Are you doing the mouth-to-mouth on me afterwards? | ||
I think I'm gonna have to. | ||
I love you. | ||
unidentified
|
I love you. | |
You're my friend. | ||
I'm not gonna let you die. | ||
Dude, my dad was like two elbows deep in a cow one time trying to help it give birth. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yeah, that's what I thought of when you said that. | ||
Yeah, when they get in there, man, they get in there. | ||
They're pulling babies out and shit. | ||
It's a rough world, but that's how people lived forever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I had a buddy. | ||
He was like 14 years old, and he was already, for a living, neutering bulls. | ||
Jesus. | ||
Yeah, I was like, you're a bad motherfucker, yo. | ||
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
He was showing me videos, snipping the balls and spraying it with some purple spray. | ||
He's like... | ||
unidentified
|
I was like, bro, he's gonna fuck you up. | |
How do they do that? | ||
Are the balls contained in a pen? | ||
Yeah, it's like in a little pen, like those pens right before they jump out when they're bull riding. | ||
Like that, and then the balls are hanging out there, and they just reach in and grab them. | ||
Cut them bad boys. | ||
And then they eat them. | ||
Rocky Mountain oysters. | ||
Do they? | ||
Have you ever had them? | ||
Yeah. | ||
They good? | ||
It's not something I would order. | ||
Is it fat? | ||
Yeah, it's like mushy meat. | ||
Yeah, it's like an organ meat. | ||
Do you eat organs? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
I eat liver. | ||
I eat a lot of liver. | ||
I think I've had liver. | ||
I had liver for breakfast. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, elk liver for breakfast. | ||
I saw that elkie knockdown out there. | ||
That was sick. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's what I mostly eat. | ||
No shit? | ||
Elk? | ||
Yeah. | ||
No shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's really good for you. | ||
And it's wild protein. | ||
You don't have to worry about any hormones or bullshit. | ||
It's expensive, right? | ||
Or do you go catch it? | ||
No, I go get it. | ||
Sick! | ||
Yeah. | ||
I go out there in the mountains and get it. | ||
That's one thing. | ||
Because I hunt. | ||
I'll take you to... | ||
Oh, you're in Texas. | ||
I'll bring you back over there where I'm at. | ||
We'll be in a helicopter shooting pigs. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah, I've been invited to do that, but my problem with that is that I don't think they eat those pigs. | ||
No, we don't. | ||
We just leave them there. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is that a problem with you? | ||
No, it's not a problem because it has to be done. | ||
Yes. | ||
It does have to be done. | ||
You can't do that to deers, though. | ||
No. | ||
You can't do that to anything else. | ||
They do it in other countries. | ||
Nah, that's fucked. | ||
They do it in Australia and in New Zealand because they get overpopulated, and so they start gunning them down. | ||
The helicopters. | ||
Yeah. | ||
See, I've got like a fat ass AR, you know what I'm saying? | ||
I blow these motherfuckers down, but bro, seeing you and watching you, what you do, I've wanted to get on a boat now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
For the longest. | ||
But you gotta be a bad motherfucker though, bro. | ||
It's a lot of discipline. | ||
When I think of the bow and arrow and I see you hit that hoe, you look like a fucking viking, bro. | ||
That shit looks badass. | ||
I've been doing it a long time. | ||
I've been doing archery for 12 years now. | ||
No shit. | ||
I've got a little bit of an injury right now. | ||
I've got a little bit of a tendonitis in my neck when it flares up when I'm at full draw. | ||
So I haven't shot at all for a month. | ||
So for one month, I've just been walking around my house like this. | ||
Because usually it's a part of like every day. | ||
Every day I get in front of that target and shoot at least 100 arrows. | ||
Damn, that's sick. | ||
It has to be a part of your muscle memory. | ||
Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
In order to be able to do it when you're under pressure, when you're hunting, you have to have ultimate confidence in your ability. | ||
And even then, there's like so much wild shit happening. | ||
Animals moving, they're screaming at each other. | ||
You ever heard an elk scream? | ||
No, but I bet it's crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like... | |
When you're in the mountains and you hear that, it sounds like a mythical creature. | ||
It doesn't even sound like a real animal. | ||
Sometimes you're on a trail and you're hiding. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And when it's, like, right up next to you, like, there's times where you're, like, in the woods hiding. | ||
You're hiding behind a tree, and these motherfuckers are walking through the trail. | ||
So he's doing this 30 feet from you. | ||
40 feet from you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And you're trying to find when you can pull your bow back. | ||
Like, you hear him walking, but you don't want him to see you. | ||
So you're, like, you got to stay totally still and wait till he turns his head away. | ||
And then you're at full draw. | ||
And they're screaming. | ||
unidentified
|
Brrrr! | |
Yeah. | ||
That's another thing. | ||
Like, you gotta have patience just fishing. | ||
I know you gotta have patience with that shit. | ||
Yeah, you have to... | ||
Patience, you have to be fit. | ||
Yeah, that's another thing. | ||
You have to go to the mountains, and you have to be able to hike eight miles, ten miles in a day. | ||
Fuck, I didn't even think of that. | ||
Fuck all that shit. | ||
It's hard, dude. | ||
You have to eat a lot of food, you have to drink a lot of water and electrolytes, so you gotta be ready. | ||
You can get dehydrated out there easy. | ||
Yeah, I believe it, definitely. | ||
You get worn the fuck out of you. | ||
And then, I'm sure you're going somewhere higher, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Now you got less oxygen and all that shit. | ||
Oh, we're at like 8,000 feet most of the time. | ||
Yeah, fuck that, dude. | ||
Well, the elk, they don't want to be around you. | ||
They want to hide up in the places where it's tough to get. | ||
Makes sense. | ||
What about a ram? | ||
I've always wanted to catch a ram. | ||
I've never done that, but they're beautiful. | ||
Yeah, I just... | ||
Honestly, bro, I don't even think I want to catch one. | ||
Like, I feel like I've always thought Rams were, like, my spirit animal. | ||
Really? | ||
Rams? | ||
Yeah. | ||
They just mind their business and stay the fuck out of the way, you know what I'm saying? | ||
They go and do what they got to do, bring it back, and then, like, bro, like, they just look handsome. | ||
And they headbutt each other. | ||
Yes, I'm saying. | ||
But, you know, Busta Rhymes, of course, right? | ||
Yeah, sure. | ||
The Breaking Neck music video where he fucking headbutted the ram. | ||
I met Busta when I fucking met him. | ||
I brought that up and he went into full-on character mode. | ||
Ah, that's amazing. | ||
Yeah, nah, shit. | ||
Shout out Busta. | ||
Because I've met some people that I was fans of and I'm like, oh, I bet you ain't shit, ho. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Yeah, hell yeah. | ||
Oh, that sucks. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
That's a bummer. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
And that's also another thing. | ||
I'm grateful that you're you. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Because I'm enjoying this. | ||
There's some people, like I said, I met them and I'm like, man, you a hoe-ass motherfucker, bro. | ||
That sucks. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, Bust, when I met Bust, I was like, damn, like, he's the hero I thought he was. | ||
Oh, that's cool. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, it's nice when you meet somebody and they live up to your expectations. | ||
Correct. | ||
It is a bummer when they don't. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, I hope Adam Sandler is who I think he is. | ||
Oh, he is. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, I know him well. | ||
I love Adam. | ||
Yeah, he's great. | ||
You know why I love Adam? | ||
Why? | ||
Because he put all his boys on and those motherfuckers ran with that shit. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
unidentified
|
Bro. | |
Bro. | ||
And he funny, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, bro, he got Happy Gilmore, he got some shit. | ||
The Longest Yard, when he redid that one, like, bro, he got some shit. | ||
The Zohan? | ||
Don't mess with the Zohan! | ||
unidentified
|
Remember when he caught the fish with his ass? | |
Bro, the Zohan's a great movie. | ||
Bro, yes. | ||
And you couldn't make that movie today. | ||
He fucked everybody, remember? | ||
When he was a hairdresser, he was fucking all those ladies. | ||
Holy fuck, the old lady? | ||
Bro, he fucked all those old ladies. | ||
They would all come to him. | ||
He got that hair done and it came out all fucked up. | ||
That movie was amazing. | ||
It was, man. | ||
Homegirl that he was falling in love with, too. | ||
That's another one. | ||
I put her next to Jennifer. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
She's hot as fuck. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He's exactly who you would hope he'd be. | ||
That's beautiful. | ||
He's cool as fuck to hang out with. | ||
That makes me happy. | ||
Real chill, down to earth. | ||
Does he smoke? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
Man, I know. | ||
Crazy, right? | ||
He's got a total stoner's sense of humor. | ||
Right. | ||
And I've always been a fan of Will Ferrell, too. | ||
And I've always told myself, like, if there's anybody I'd smoke with, it'd be Will Ferrell or Adam. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I met Will Ferrell once, too. | ||
I did an audition with him. | ||
Yeah, he was very cool. | ||
Real friendly. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
It was before he was Will Ferrell, you know? | ||
It was like, this is the 90s. | ||
Oh, so now he's like a dickhead. | ||
We're both nothing. | ||
No, I don't think so. | ||
No? | ||
No, I don't think so. | ||
No indication. | ||
He seems like a nice guy. | ||
Sick. | ||
Yeah, but he was a very nice guy then. | ||
Real friendly. | ||
I was like, oh shit, that's Will Ferrell. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I think he was still on Sounder Live at the time. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You remember In Living Color? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
Woo! | ||
Jim Carrey was on that shit, bro! | ||
Oh, man. | ||
That was my shit. | ||
That's another thing you couldn't make today. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The Boondocks is another one. | ||
I love the Boondocks. | ||
Boondocks is great, man. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I met Sway. | ||
When I met Sway, I was like, bro, you were on fucking Boondocks. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I forgot about Boondocks. | ||
That was my shit, bro. | ||
I used to freestyle over that beat all the time as a kid. | ||
The instrumental and the outro. | ||
Oh, wow. | ||
Yup, yup, yup. | ||
I was big on that shit. | ||
What were the first people that you worked with where they started making beats for you? | ||
My boy T.B. Robbie. | ||
He's my mixkin' out there in San Antonio. | ||
He definitely still is one of my in-house producers. | ||
I love still working with him. | ||
I haven't used a beat for him. | ||
I got a beat for him a few days ago. | ||
The music video I drop tomorrow is his beat. | ||
But lately, I've been fucking with Bankroll, got it. | ||
It's two white boys out in California. | ||
And those two white boys are my pocket. | ||
Yeah? | ||
They my pocket, for sure. | ||
When you do that, what is the process like? | ||
Do you have the lyrics in your head, written down, and then you have a beat? | ||
I hear the beat first. | ||
You hear the beat first. | ||
Yeah, I don't ever really like to write the lyrics first. | ||
I like hearing the beat first. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, and then I just catch it from there. | ||
It's very, very rare I'll have lyrics and then a beat. | ||
I have to have something heavy on my mind. | ||
Other than that, I'm jamming the beats first. | ||
So did they bring you beats and you say, hey, what do you got for me? | ||
Nah, I just text them and send me beats and they'll send me a fucking fat ass fuckload. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Yeah, and I know they're good, bro, because I'm picky with beats. | ||
I've had people send me a beat pack of like 50 and I left with one or two. | ||
Bankroll, they'll send me like 10 and I'll leave with eight. | ||
And so what is your process for listening to them? | ||
Do you do it by yourself? | ||
Do you sit there just alone? | ||
How do you do it? | ||
It's always different. | ||
Sometimes I'm by myself. | ||
Sometimes, you know what I'm saying, my boys are with me. | ||
I like being in my truck when I ride sometimes. | ||
I just be smoking, hotboxing in my truck. | ||
Just catching that vibe, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Have you got a good sound system in your car? | ||
Yeah, I do. | ||
There's something about driving and listening to music that makes it even more fun. | ||
Because you're heightened because you're driving, so you gotta pay attention to everything. | ||
So your brain is kind of fired up. | ||
unidentified
|
When that music comes on, you're like, oh, shit. | |
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Because you're in a box of it. | ||
It has nowhere else to go. | ||
I think that's what it is. | ||
I was telling the Black Keys when I would go to the Comedy Store, one of my favorite things to do. | ||
Please tell them that Mace Knott is an enormous fan. | ||
100% well. | ||
I'm going to see him tonight. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Or see him tomorrow night. | ||
I listen to Sinister Kid. | ||
Sinister Kid was like the song that I would listen to when I get on the highway. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because it's just like, woo! | ||
Like, I'm living in L.A. I'm driving to the comedy store. | ||
Let's fucking go! | ||
unidentified
|
That song was on. | |
Nah, I dig it. | ||
When you got a good sound system, here it is. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dog, they just got it. | ||
Goddamn. | ||
We'll probably get a copyright for that. | ||
unidentified
|
Probably. | |
Cut it out. | ||
Just cut it out. | ||
Alright, we cut that out. | ||
But that Sinister Kid. | ||
That fucking song rules, man. | ||
Their shit is just all authentic. | ||
They have a new album coming out in April. | ||
Holy shit, is it good. | ||
Wow. | ||
I got an early copy of it. | ||
They let me listen to it. | ||
Fuck, man. | ||
Dude, I'd love to send you this new shit I've been working on. | ||
I want to hear it. | ||
Like I said, I want to name it Recess. | ||
I like it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Why recess? | ||
Because, like, bro, like, man, this is recess to me. | ||
I go out there and just be a kid. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I think that's why it's still so fun. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Well, if you can keep it fun, that's the key to life. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
That is the key to life. | ||
My dad always, because my dad's a trainer. | ||
He's been a trainer his whole life. | ||
I ain't gonna lie. | ||
He knows a lot, but there's one thing that motherfucker knows. | ||
He knows the human body. | ||
And I lost it. | ||
Where was I going? | ||
Your dad was a trainer. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Yeah, my fault, my fault. | ||
I had a Ray Kurzweil flashback right there. | ||
He would always tell people, like, man, like, working out ain't even working out. | ||
Like, you stop working out one day when you just stop going to recess. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I think that's another reason why I really like the word recess for the project. | ||
My dad even preached that shit. | ||
Just be a kid. | ||
That's all working out is. | ||
At the playground, having fun. | ||
They found out that's the best way people learn things. | ||
It's working out? | ||
It's playing. | ||
Oh, playing. | ||
I completely agree. | ||
It's a pure moment. | ||
You're just having fun. | ||
I was watching this video where this guy was breaking down martial arts development and learning how to strike. | ||
And he was like, the most important thing is to keep it playful. | ||
And if you can keep it playful, you'll develop skills much quicker than if you're tense. | ||
Like if it's like scary and work and everything like that, it's harder To develop those really finely honed skills. | ||
And the best way to develop them is to learn how to play. | ||
So like the Gracies, the Jiu Jitsu guys, they were always, that was their thing. | ||
They would always say, keep it playful. | ||
Keep it playful. | ||
When you roll, don't dance up! | ||
Don't try to kill each other. | ||
Just keep it playful. | ||
Keep it playful. | ||
And then you'll develop skills. | ||
And if you have to do it quickly, you'll know how to do it. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
Like, if you really are in a real struggle, a real fight, you'll know how to do it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
But you don't have to do that every day. | ||
Keep it playful. | ||
Learn the moves. | ||
Learn the positions. | ||
Just get it in your head that it's fun. | ||
And there's a mindset, a play mindset, when you're really enjoying it, where you get better at things. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
My dad had a buddy. | ||
He was a jiu-jitsu artist. | ||
Or fighter. | ||
I don't know if you'd call it artist. | ||
You're a martial artist, yeah. | ||
And, uh, bro... | ||
Seeing him, he was a white boy, and seeing him do the way I seen him do these dudes up, man, that shit's humbling. | ||
That's some bad motherfucker. | ||
There's levels of this shit is what I'm saying. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
It's different when you, of course, it's easy to have control. | ||
Not easy, but some people make it look easy having control of their own body. | ||
But to be able to have control of somebody else's body too, you know what I'm saying? | ||
It's like, damn, bro. | ||
I've seen this motherfuckin' ragdoll people, yo. | ||
He'll move them with his leg. | ||
He'll grab them by their shirt right here and move them with his right leg. | ||
It's just crazy, bro. | ||
I like that shit, though, man. | ||
Learning how to manipulate a human body is a very underrated skill. | ||
It's a good thing to know. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
It's a scary thing to know once you know how to do it. | ||
It's scary when you've experienced it on you and you don't know how to do it. | ||
That was a wake-up call for me when I first started doing jiu-jitsu. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
I thought I knew how to fight. | ||
Fucked up! | ||
Oh my god, I got fucked up. | ||
I got fucked up over and over and over again. | ||
It was so humbling. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It was so humbling. | ||
I had a buddy named Emeril. | ||
Rest in peace, Emeril. | ||
Man, that's crazy. | ||
He went to Little Rock, Arkansas and he went to a gym over there and he said the first day he went in there and he was just fucking throwing up and he said, He said as soon as he threw up, everybody in the gym was like, yeah! | ||
Fucking get him! | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
He was like, bro, there's some fucking animals in there, you know? | ||
They went through it already, yeah. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
Unusual people. | ||
If you go to a gym and, you know, you meet a dude, he's a black belt, he's been doing jiu-jitsu for 12 years, that's a bad motherfucker. | ||
That dude's put in some numbers. | ||
My buddy, Drody, he's always saying he knows jujitsu and taekwondo. | ||
Because his son, he put his kids in taekwondo. | ||
So he went to class one day for one week. | ||
And after that, he was like, one day I was like, man, I don't know where my guns at. | ||
I didn't find my gun because I don't go nowhere without my gun. | ||
I'm in church with my gun. | ||
And he was like, man, don't worry. | ||
I know taekwondo. | ||
Master Lee taught me some shit today. | ||
I'm like, shut the fuck up. | ||
Of course, he don't know shit, but he's just being funny. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I'm like, nah, fuck that shit. | ||
Yeah, it's always better to have a gun than that. | ||
And he's a tall, lanky ass man. | ||
He tall for no reason. | ||
Tall for no reason. | ||
I'm talking about, bro. | ||
He walking, you just look at his legs and they just look flimsy. | ||
Like, Jordan, you out of there. | ||
Tall for no reason. | ||
If I was him, bro, if I was as tall as him, I'd be an animal. | ||
Animal. | ||
It would make me want to be a beast, you know? | ||
Remember I was telling you about February? | ||
Uh-huh. | ||
And, you know, he was talking about my mama. | ||
He's gay. | ||
But, like, bro, 6'5", and just like, you see him, you think he a solid-ass gangster. | ||
I bet he worked out that gym I worked out. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Shout out Fatboy, man. | ||
He a bad motherfucker. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, but yeah. | ||
I feel like a lot of gay people, I've seen some gay people put some hands on some people. | ||
Of course, they're men. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Well, yeah, but besides that, I feel like they were bullied, you know what I'm saying? | ||
So like they had to like, bitch, I'm gonna fuck you up mentality. | ||
You know? | ||
Yeah, you don't want to get fucked up by a dude with a lisp. | ||
Just put it on you. | ||
Like this motherfucker. | ||
unidentified
|
You think he pissed on you? | |
He talking to you with a lisp. | ||
Fucking, I always thought it was funny whenever Canelo learned English, she learned English and became a menace. | ||
Yeah. | ||
At first he was like, you know, I'm gonna punch him, and I ain't gonna punch him again. | ||
Now he's like, fuck that motherfucker, fuck that bitch. | ||
You know, I'm like, damn, bro, he's a savage, you know? | ||
He's a wild dude. | ||
Yeah, even Sean O'Malley, I just watched that fight with him. | ||
I'm like, bro, there's some bad motherfuckers on earth. | ||
There are some bad motherfuckers on earth. | ||
I feel like they need to be in the military. | ||
It's different. | ||
Those are bad motherfuckers too, but it's a different world. | ||
Different type of being a bad motherfucker. | ||
There's one thing to do it for a sport. | ||
It's a dangerous sport. | ||
There's another thing to do it in defense of your country, and that is a lot more intense. | ||
Yeah, no, I definitely agree. | ||
But, I mean, shit. | ||
I feel like... | ||
I've seen some motherfuckers in the military, and I've seen them cry. | ||
I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? | ||
This dude just yelled at you, and you tripping on that. | ||
Just because they're emotional. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They want to do well. | ||
Those are the kind of guys you wanted to do well so much. | ||
Nah. | ||
So you're saying they were crying because they were broken down? | ||
Yeah, just pusses. | ||
Like, bro, fucking me. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
That's a nut saying, bro. | ||
Like, don't get it twisted. | ||
Like, what you're saying, I completely agree. | ||
Then there's some people and it's like, why are you on infantry? | ||
Well, they probably did it because they thought they wanted something to toughen them up. | ||
There's a lot of people like that. | ||
They feel like they don't have any discipline. | ||
They'll just join the military. | ||
I felt like that when I was 18. Really? | ||
Yeah, when I was 18, the Army had a Taekwondo team. | ||
And I was going to join the Army Taekwondo team. | ||
Because I wanted to be able to train. | ||
And in the Army, they had like a legitimate organized team that they would send to tournaments. | ||
There was this dude, Clay Barber. | ||
He fought for the U.S. Army team. | ||
And I remember he was like real good. | ||
Like one of the top guys in the country. | ||
Sick. | ||
And I wanted to be like him. | ||
And I was like, oh, this dude's in the Army. | ||
Maybe I'll join the Army. | ||
And then I talked to a recruiter. | ||
I'm like, get the fuck out of here. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
And also, just because you're a state champion or won the U.S. Open, whatever I had won at the time, I'd won a bunch of tournaments. | ||
There was no guarantee that they were going to have me compete for the Army's team. | ||
And then they might just fucking send me to Iraq. | ||
I didn't know where I was going. | ||
And I was like, this is not, I don't like this. | ||
Can you help me find this book? | ||
I believe it's called Through the Barbed Wire. | ||
It's about this dude. | ||
He's from Belgium. | ||
And as a kid, he had heart problems, he had asthma, all this stuff that would just hold him back for everything, like being able to just go outside and have fun. | ||
And when he was like seven, eight years old, it just all disappeared. | ||
And he went into taekwondo or karate or something. | ||
Eventually that one thing led to another and he's in fucking Bangkok fighting underground fighters and bro there was this there was it's and it's him it's a book about his life and he's fighting this dude taller than him and he says he was like he didn't know how to dominate this man he's just a giant ass motherfucker he said he jumped up on the back of him fucking bit him on the side of his neck and he said he fucking shoved his hand in that hole where he bit and fucking ripped his neck Jesus Christ yeah underground Bangkok fight Belgium dude probably like 5'8". | ||
There's a bunch of people that are doing that shit now, and you can find videos of it online. | ||
They're having these street fights where they'll pay people more money if you bite a chunk off the dude. | ||
So dudes are biting chunks off dudes' ears and faces and shit. | ||
Yeah, but this was then, you know what I'm saying? | ||
No, I'm saying it's still going on. | ||
Yeah, but I think he did this to survive. | ||
This wasn't about money. | ||
Like, he had to win the fight, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Yeah, I do believe that though. | ||
I believe that there's places like, I feel like there's places out right now that they just snatch people up and then they'll put them. | ||
You ever seen the movie Hostel? | ||
I think that's real. | ||
Oh, that's real. | ||
Yeah. | ||
We were talking about what they used to do. | ||
It's called Shanghai and someone. | ||
They used to take people and they would drug them and then they'd wake up on a boat and you had to go to work. | ||
They would send you off to China. | ||
They'd send you off to Shanghai. | ||
unidentified
|
To work? | |
Yeah, they would kidnap people and force them into slave labor. | ||
Holy shit. | ||
They called it Shanghai'd. | ||
You'd get Shanghai'd. | ||
Listen to this. | ||
This dude was smoking. | ||
He was in a cabin with his buddy. | ||
And Alaska, somewhere where it's snowing. | ||
And him and his buddy were smoking. | ||
He said, this is how, because you know dreams, like when you dream, a dream is probably like eight seconds long at most. | ||
And he said that fucking, he was smoking with his buddy and he hit this weed and he just fell out, boom, hit the floor. | ||
And when he woke up, he was completely soaking wet and inside of a boat. | ||
And these people were like, bro, are you okay? | ||
You good? | ||
Like, you almost drowned. | ||
Are you good? | ||
And he's like, who the fuck are y'all? | ||
I don't know who the fuck y'all are. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
And he was like, bro, what are you talking about? | ||
I'm your best friend. | ||
This is your wife, all this and that. | ||
He was like, bro, I don't know who the fuck y'all are, like, at all. | ||
And then, you know, two years passed, three years passed, and he's like, I still don't know who the fuck y'all are. | ||
Like, I'm sorry. | ||
And, um... | ||
Five years passed. | ||
Six years passed. | ||
And he's like, I don't know. | ||
I guess this is reality. | ||
You know, fuck it. | ||
Like, I guess I was tripping maybe. | ||
And then eight years passed. | ||
And one day he's just sitting there and he fucking falls out. | ||
And when he falls out, he wakes up and he wakes up in that cabin. | ||
And this homeboy was like, bro, are you good? | ||
You were out for like five seconds. | ||
Lived a whole eight year span in five seconds. | ||
I have a friend of mine on a podcast. | ||
He smoked salvia. | ||
Wow. | ||
He smoked salvia on a podcast and went into a dark hole and he said he lived a whole nother life. | ||
He lived another life. | ||
He had relationships. | ||
He had jobs. | ||
Did he say he lived underwater? | ||
Did he say he lived underwater? | ||
Yeah, he was underwater years, right? | ||
I think. | ||
That's crazy! | ||
And then he came back. | ||
That's how crazy the mind is. | ||
And you see him coming back. | ||
He's like, what? | ||
What happened? | ||
And this was right here. | ||
What's that? | ||
When he was coming back, he was struggling to breathe air because he learned to breathe underwater. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
What the fuck? | ||
But here's the thing. | ||
Here's the thing that sounds insane. | ||
It sounds insane, but this guy was saying that he was there for like months. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Like six months. | ||
That he lived a life. | ||
He had relationships, he had jobs. | ||
I believe it. | ||
And he just, that was his life for six months, then all of a sudden he came back. | ||
Like, I think... | ||
There might be neighboring dimensions where time moves differently and you can access them through psychedelics. | ||
Yes. | ||
I think that's possible. | ||
It's going on right now. | ||
We're just not tapped in. | ||
Exactly. | ||
I was talking to my buddy Fee about this. | ||
He brought it up. | ||
He was like, it's going on right now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, like those things you see, we're just not tapped into it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, that's one of the big theories about aliens is that they're here all the time. | ||
unidentified
|
Is this the book? | |
Would you smack an alien down? | ||
No, it's not. | ||
Behind the barbed wire, World War II, U.S. Marine captured in North China, 1941. Nah, no, sir. | ||
Prisoned by the Japanese until 45? | ||
Holy shit. | ||
That sounds insane, though, but that's not it. | ||
Barbed wire, maybe? | ||
He's a bald dude. | ||
Bald white man. | ||
Shredded. | ||
He's not big enough, just lean and shredded. | ||
He was a Purple Heart, right? | ||
No, not Purple Heart. | ||
He was in the Europe military. | ||
Don't they? | ||
Purple sleeves or something like that. | ||
He was something, man. | ||
Fuck. | ||
There was a story where he dressed up like a woman. | ||
Because, you know, he's in the military. | ||
So they're all fucking these hoes out there in these lands and shit, you know? | ||
And he said that his boy was at this club, went to the restroom with one of the whores. | ||
And he said he's in there forever. | ||
He's like, man, I'm going to check on my boy. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And fucking he goes in there and he's like, hey, y'all good? | ||
Don't hear nothing. | ||
He sees a girl and he said he just felt like something was off. | ||
And he said he fucking kicked that door and started beating the shit out the bitch because she had a fucking knife to his balls and was like robbing him. | ||
Like, bitch, I'm finna fucking... | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Went in there and beat the shit out the bitch, you know? | ||
There was another story. | ||
He fucking... | ||
He was dressed like a woman? | ||
So he dressed like a woman to get into the woman's side? | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
I accidentally switched stories. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
But this is another one. | ||
He dressed up as a woman. | ||
He went to go save this other woman. | ||
And like fucking dressed up as a woman to get into this place and like... | ||
Fucking went apeshit. | ||
It's been so long since I read the book, you know what I'm saying? | ||
But we gotta find it, bro. | ||
Gotta find it. | ||
He studied... | ||
I forgot what fighting style he trained in, but he fought like 20 people at once, broken ribs, I think a broken wrist, and he still had to fight all these dudes until it was up, you know? | ||
And he went through fucking hell and back to... | ||
All dressed like a woman. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, yeah, this is other shit, but he dressed up as a woman to go save this other bitch. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah, he did some shit, bro. | ||
Like real life superhero shit. | ||
Like main character shit. | ||
So what was the name of it? | ||
Something barbed wire? | ||
Something barbed wire. | ||
Something with wire. | ||
Through the wire, barbed wire. | ||
Something, man. | ||
Do you remember his name? | ||
I don't. | ||
My dad brought the book home. | ||
I read it like a motherfucker. | ||
It was about that thick. | ||
It wasn't too crazy. | ||
Bad motherfucker. | ||
There's some different humans out there. | ||
Bro, I'm talking about really built to last. | ||
Yeah, built to last. | ||
People, they're just wired different. | ||
And they get more wired different through training. | ||
I be hearing Tyson talk about all those warriors that he studied. | ||
Bro, some of them, they fell into my algorithm and I just started learning about them. | ||
Yeah, there's some bad motherfuckers. | ||
I think you were talking to a dude that he fucking had blades and shoved them in his arm or some shit like that. | ||
Weren't you talking about a dude that said that? | ||
He shoved him in his arms. | ||
Like he had blades in his arms and like he fucking came back and killed everybody. | ||
Like they cut his arms off and killed his family or some shit like that. | ||
Oh, I don't know about that. | ||
What is that? | ||
Do you know what we're talking about? | ||
It doesn't sound unfamiliar, but it might have been a movie or something. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Nah, this dude was a real warrior. | ||
Or at least that's what y'all were talking about. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Who was it? | ||
Was it the Chris Williamson one? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Y'all were talking about warriors, though. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know either. | ||
Yeah, I remember this, sort of. | ||
I remember pulling it up. | ||
He replaced his arm with a sword? | ||
Yeah, I gotta figure it out. | ||
Both of them. | ||
It cut both of his hands off. | ||
Jesus Christ. | ||
Yeah, he looked like Baraka. | ||
Yep, here we go. | ||
Oh, you got it? | ||
I found the clip of us talking about it. | ||
Okay. | ||
Let me see here. | ||
Oh, Corey Sanhagen. | ||
unidentified
|
One of the warriors was this Aztec dude. | |
He got captured by the other team. | ||
They cut off his hands to try to make him miserable for his entire life. | ||
They sent him back to his camp. | ||
This guy like glues on knives onto his hands and then just commits the rest of his life to just like burn all of these people that like did that. | ||
According to legend, after his right hand was cut off by the Spanish, Galvarino boldly held up his left hand offering up for his captives to amputate. | ||
unidentified
|
He displayed no emotion as it was cut off and his facial features recorded no pain. | |
And because that's like the type of dude that I was trying to like become sometimes. | ||
Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
That's what I feel like I'm watching you on right now. | ||
Well, you are. | ||
Yeah, it's just crazy. | ||
But there's no TV. Right. | ||
That's Corey Sanhagen. | ||
He's a bad motherfucker himself. | ||
He's one of the best UFC fighters. | ||
He's a bantamweight top contender. | ||
Sick. | ||
Bro, Benavidez, I've been watching him a lot. | ||
Damn, Benavidez. | ||
Oh my goodness. | ||
It's Canelo and Benavidez gonna get together. | ||
I don't know, because I don't have too much knowledge of it. | ||
From what I've been hearing, he been running. | ||
Canelo been running. | ||
He's got to fight Benavidez. | ||
Yeah, but I don't think he want to fuck his record up. | ||
Benavidez is a body snatcher. | ||
Bro. | ||
That motherfucker's a body snatcher. | ||
Bro, like, nah. | ||
He takes souls. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, nah. | |
He takes souls. | ||
Different, bro. | ||
He's different. | ||
And he missing. | ||
Yeah, he's a bad dude. | ||
I love that shit, bro. | ||
He's a bad dude. | ||
He's a bad dude and he's relentless. | ||
That motherfucker's relentless. | ||
You know, like his last fight. | ||
Who did he fight in his last fight? | ||
Even Tyson was saying he's an animal. | ||
Didn't he fight Charlo? | ||
He fought one of the Charlo brothers, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
Just beat him down, man. | ||
He's an animal. | ||
He's something special. | ||
There's dudes that come along with what David Goggins likes to say, uncommon amongst uncommon men. | ||
That's Benavidez. | ||
He has to fight Canelo. | ||
That would be a trap. | ||
And they can't wait, like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao did, they can't wait until they're older. | ||
They have to fight in the prime, and now's the time. | ||
And I know Canelo has one more fight schedule. | ||
He's got a fight schedule right now, and people are mad at him because of the May 4th fight. | ||
I mean, that is the one, right? | ||
Mexican Independence Day. | ||
You're going to fight on that weekend? | ||
Bro, you're supposed to be fighting Benavidez. | ||
That's the fight. | ||
That's the fight everybody wants to see. | ||
He running. | ||
I think that's what I've been hearing lately. | ||
Demetrius Andrade. | ||
That's who it was. | ||
That's right. | ||
That's right. | ||
Beat the dog shit out of his ass. | ||
That's right. | ||
Canelo fought one of the Charlotte brothers. | ||
That's right. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And Demetrius Andrade is a bad motherfucker. | ||
And he was doing really well in the beginning of that fight. | ||
Because... | ||
He's a real slick boxer, great mover, but God damn. | ||
Harlan? | ||
Kevin Harlan? | ||
Kevin Harlan's a bad man too. | ||
Did you see that fight with Michael Venom Page this weekend though? | ||
No, but I think I was at a show, but he walked out to my music. | ||
Oh, did he really? | ||
Yeah, he's been walking out to Johnny Dango, 20299 and shit. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, nice! | |
And then I met him at the closet and he was cool. | ||
He's very cool. | ||
He's been on the podcast before. | ||
I want to fuck with Brandon. | ||
I met Brandon Moreno at a fucking... | ||
Oh, he's great. | ||
This is what made me love him. | ||
Besides him being Mexican. | ||
But when I saw how small he was, I was like, what the fuck? | ||
unidentified
|
He fights 125. And he will fuck anybody up in this airport right now. | |
Like, what? | ||
That shit was crazy to me. | ||
I was like, bro, I wanted to bow to him. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I was like, bro, I respect you. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah, he's a bad motherfucker. | ||
Shout out Brandon Moreno, man. | ||
That weight class is stacked, man. | ||
Goddamn, that weight class. | ||
125 is filled with assassins. | ||
unidentified
|
Bro, because they just mean looking. | |
He's a cool dude, too. | ||
Real fucking friendly dude. | ||
Real nice guy. | ||
Those are the killers though, you know what I'm saying? | ||
He had some fucking incredible wars with Davidson Figueredo, the guy who beat for the title. | ||
That division is just filled with super talented guys. | ||
Bro, so from when UFC started and started getting big to now, It's sick, right? | ||
There's no comparison. | ||
There's no sport like it where if you go to 1993 and watch it and to 2024 and watch it, it's completely different. | ||
They're so much better. | ||
Everyone's so much better. | ||
Oh yeah, because it's all mastered now at this point. | ||
Yeah, the sport's complete. | ||
There's so many different styles and so many different approaches. | ||
Even amongst the champions, there's so many different practitioners. | ||
Correct. | ||
Some guys are just strikers, some guys are just grapplers. | ||
They all know how to do everything, but they have styles and specials. | ||
I used to watch the grappling fights and be like, this is bullshit. | ||
But then when I fucking saw it in person, and I have a buddy that does it, I was like, oh yeah, nah, these are bad motherfuckers too. | ||
Well, if you tried it yourself... | ||
If you tried jujitsu yourself... | ||
No, I got fucked up. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I got fucking humbled. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Quick. | |
You know what I'm saying? | ||
But if you learn how to do it, then you really appreciate it because then you understand how difficult it is to do what they're doing. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Oh, understanding. | ||
And you also see the paths. | ||
You see, like, is he going to go, oh, he went for it. | ||
Oh, shit. | ||
Oh, look at that. | ||
Okay, he's got secured this. | ||
He's got that. | ||
Oh, he moved him out. | ||
Oh, you know, like you see the transitions and all the different chess moves that they're playing. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
Correct. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You remind me when you said the understanding. | ||
That's what I wanted to say earlier, but we ended up talking about something else. | ||
The music shit, I just know of music. | ||
I don't know how to read music. | ||
I don't even know how to count bars. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I just know of it. | ||
Right. | ||
Imagine if I fully understood it. | ||
Why don't you? | ||
I'm going to eventually. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
It's just not my time right now. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I'm doing what I'm doing, enjoying it. | ||
I definitely want to elevate though. | ||
When I understood that, I was like, bro, I just know of it. | ||
Right. | ||
Like, I want to know this shit. | ||
Right. | ||
Oh, bro, I'm going to be an animal. | ||
Do you think you're ever going to get to a point where you create your own beats? | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
Because I used to do that as a kid. | ||
I used to be in the studio with my Uncle Moon already just fucking around. | ||
That would be wild. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Your shit, your beats. | ||
Zero did that. | ||
That's why... | ||
Bro... | ||
Fuck, zero, zero. | ||
They don't be giving him his flowers, bro. | ||
Like, not only was he making great music and harmonizing with dope-ass raw lyrics, he was making his beats. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, and he was really delivering that shit, bro. | ||
He had a swagger to him. | ||
And, like, nobody wanted to fuck with him. | ||
And that's why it make him even more of a beast. | ||
Because, like, when nobody wanted to fuck with him, they had no choice but to fuck with him. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
It was so in their face. | ||
It was so good. | ||
It became undeniable. | ||
Exactly. | ||
And it was so good that if you didn't like it, you were a dry-ass hater. | ||
unidentified
|
Mmm. | |
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, you're just dry-hating because, like, you know that shit good. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Those are the saddest people. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
A dry hater. | ||
Bro, come on, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
Like, just dry-ass hating. | ||
I fuck with you, bro. | ||
Like, because he was making his beats. | ||
He was doing all that shit, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It's pretty good. | ||
It's a good song. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Nice. | ||
Shout out to Zero. | ||
Hold on, hold on. | ||
Not him? | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
This is more than one Zero? | ||
I'm talking about ZRO. ZRO. I'm talking about a Texas legend. | ||
Like, when you think of Texas rappers, he's definitely on the Mount Rushmore. | ||
That's gotta be weird with... | ||
Oh, Z-R-O, there it is. | ||
He got meth, crack, heroin. | ||
Those are all his projects. | ||
He's got a song called Meth? | ||
No, these are projects, albums. | ||
Oh, that's the album. | ||
The album's meth. | ||
The next album is crack. | ||
The other one's heroin. | ||
The other one's cocaine. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And, bro, like... | ||
Like, he's Texas' Tupac. | ||
People be tripping when I say I think he better than Pac, but like, Pac, yeah, of course, Pac, he fucking, he impacted. | ||
Let's pause this so I can hear some of it. | ||
Pause right here. | ||
Nah, hold on. | ||
This ain't the one to play. | ||
Which one to play? | ||
Play In My City. | ||
Man, there's so many, bro. | ||
There's just too many. | ||
In My City's a good one. | ||
I want you to hear him sing and rap. | ||
That's his. | ||
They can't tell me Pac was better than Zero. | ||
Nobody can tell me Pac was better than Zero. | ||
I just added that to my playlist. | ||
Thank you, yeah. | ||
And it gets better. | ||
It gets better. | ||
I just pulled this one out my ass because that's one of my favorite ones by Impersonally. | ||
But bro, nah, it gets better. | ||
He got a song called Mo City Dawn and it was originally done by Raheem in New York. | ||
But I didn't even know that. | ||
I thought this was a Zero song. | ||
Raheem Eric being Raheem? | ||
Yes. | ||
And he fucking... | ||
Slow out and bang it. | ||
So Slab, you know what Slabs are, correct? | ||
You're from Texas. | ||
Yes. | ||
Right? | ||
You're from Texas? | ||
No. | ||
I live here. | ||
Where are you from? | ||
Well, I was born in New Jersey. | ||
No shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I lived in California. | ||
I lived everywhere. | ||
I lived in Florida. | ||
I lived in Boston. | ||
But Texas is it for you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This is where I'm staying. | ||
You seem like a tasteous boy to me. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So anyways, look. | ||
Bro, what was I saying? | ||
Zero. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Nah. | ||
Slabs. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Slabs. | ||
Slow, loud, and banging. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's what S-L-A-B stands for. | ||
And like, bro... | ||
We'd be at LAN parties in the country, mid-fight, people fighting. | ||
And that song come on, bro, white boys with mullets, the black boys, the Mexicans, everybody singing. | ||
Mid-fight, we stop fighting, we jamming. | ||
Really? | ||
Like, that's what Zero do to us. | ||
Wow. | ||
Real life. | ||
It's funny how some dudes like that, they just don't get out into the mainstream for some reason. | ||
People don't know. | ||
He don't need to be mainstream. | ||
He's ours. | ||
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
We're selfish with that shit. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
There's some people that don't... | ||
I was jamming that shit in New York, and some people are like, oh my God, what is this? | ||
I'm like, it blows my mind. | ||
Y'all don't know, but that's okay. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I'm okay with being selfish with Zero, because he a Texas legend. | ||
Like I said, he's on the Mount Rushmore for us. | ||
Yeah? | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
What's the Texas Mount Rushmore? | ||
You gotta have the Ghetto Boys in there. | ||
We're gonna put Scarface on there out of the Ghetto Boys. | ||
Yeah, for sure. | ||
I don't think you can put the full Scarface. | ||
I mean, the full Ghetto Boys, though. | ||
That'd be a little unfair. | ||
Unfair? | ||
I think so. | ||
They were all bad motherfuckers, though. | ||
Definitely. | ||
Especially Willie D, because he was backing that shit up. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
But, like, Scarface had the voice. | ||
He was cool at telling stories. | ||
Bushwick just had a look to him, and he was also good at it. | ||
But even then, like, I didn't... | ||
You know, you said Willie D wrote that shit for him. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Willie D wrote a lot of shit. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
He wrote most of the Ghetto Boys shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, see what I'm saying, bro? | ||
Like, I don't think you can put Bush on there. | ||
I respect Bush. | ||
Like, shit, I need my dog after him. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, I love Bush, you know? | ||
But I would definitely say Scar even got Willie just because he got that voice. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Keith, wasn't there a fourth member to the Ghetto Boys, right? | ||
Wasn't his name Keith? | ||
Some shit like that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Jamie will find it. | ||
Dude, we still haven't found that book? | ||
Fuck, that's gonna bother the fuck out of me, bro. | ||
Like, he's really a bad motherfucker. | ||
Someone will find it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Someone will find it. | ||
They'll reach out. | ||
He's a bad motherfucker, bro. | ||
I think they made a movie about his life, too, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
Because I remember reading, like, what is it called? | ||
On the end of the book? | ||
On the autobiography or whatever? | ||
Like, they said something about a movie. | ||
Mmm. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, there's a lot of movies that never get made. | ||
They're in the process of getting made and it never happens. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Zero, though, bro. | ||
Back to Zero, man. | ||
He's just a champion, bro. | ||
And people would be like, Pac, well, he got that pain. | ||
Bro, nah. | ||
Didn't nobody go through pain the way Zero went through it. | ||
Losing his mama. | ||
Nobody wanted to fuck with him. | ||
Nobody wanted to hand him the weed. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Everybody loved Pac because he was a movie star. | ||
He was a role model. | ||
Zero was really gutter, raw, uncut. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
From the streets. | ||
Nobody want to fuck with them. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
People are hating on them. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I love it because he made the people have no choice but to love and respect his music at one point because it was just so in their face. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And me being Mexican, I'm playing a black predominant game. | ||
So I had to put it in their face. | ||
Same thing with Paul. | ||
He white, having to put it in their face. | ||
So when you come up like that, it's more respectable. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
It's undeniable. | ||
Correct. | ||
Like I said, Pac, he influenced the world, which is cool, but he wasn't making better music than Zero, in my personal opinion. | ||
Well, you're allowed to have your opinion. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
And it might also be just because I'm from Texas. | ||
That's what I grew up on. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
If you were growing up with Pac, you would have a different opinion. | ||
You see what I'm saying? | ||
Yeah, of course. | ||
But... | ||
I personally feel like... | ||
Because he was singing. | ||
He was making music. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Pac was rapping and then he'd have a sample come and sing. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
And he wasn't making no beats. | ||
Zero was putting that shit together. | ||
I know what you're saying. | ||
I like that shit. | ||
Have you listened to Kanye's new shit? | ||
Nah, but to be honest, to be fair though, I haven't been listening to anything new. | ||
I've been like so tonal vision in my own shit. | ||
If I'm jamming anything, it's not rap. | ||
Like I'm jamming some Three Day Grace or some fucking Smack God or something like that. | ||
Just to mix it up in your head? | ||
Yeah, or country. | ||
I don't want to listen to rap. | ||
I'm already surrounded by it so much. | ||
Right, that makes sense. | ||
And then not only that, I really jam like rock and country. | ||
I just happen to be good at rapping, you know what I'm saying? | ||
So most of the time when you're in your car, rapping country? | ||
Rocking country. | ||
I don't know why, bro. | ||
I've never dressed emo, never had an emo phase or nothing. | ||
I just love that music. | ||
That's me with the 60s rock. | ||
Like Hendrix. | ||
Yeah, I love Hendrix. | ||
That's how I named this podcast. | ||
The Joe Rogan Experience. | ||
The Joe Rogan experience. | ||
I even have the alien picking up the cow right there. | ||
You do? | ||
Yeah. | ||
What do you think about aliens? | ||
What do you think is going on with all that? | ||
I think they're in the water. | ||
I think space is a distraction. | ||
I think NASA maybe used to be in the water and they seen something that scared the living shit out of them and they never wanted to go back. | ||
I don't know. | ||
We were talking to your homeboy outside. | ||
I love the water. | ||
I think it's one of the most beautiful places ever. | ||
But if they threw me in the water, I would die of heart failure before I died from an animal in there. | ||
One of my biggest fears. | ||
But it's also something I've always wanted to do. | ||
I think it's beautiful. | ||
But it's not our jungle. | ||
Right. | ||
No, you're so vulnerable. | ||
Yeah, like, get the fuck out of here, bro. | ||
You're so vulnerable. | ||
You're not even like... | ||
I mean, you are as vulnerable as a shark is on land. | ||
Correct. | ||
You can walk right up to a shark on land and go, bitch! | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
You can't do a thing. | ||
That shark fucking, with that jet speed coming... | ||
He's not even gonna eat you, he's just gonna fucking run into you and knock your ass out. | ||
Or just take your legs. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Just take your legs away from you like that. | ||
Yeah, some people be trying to be like, no, scary movies made them like that. | ||
Yeah, no, those things are vicious. | ||
I don't give a fuck what you're saying. | ||
There's just not a lot of people in the water. | ||
That's all it is. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The number of people in the water is relatively small compared to the overall population. | ||
That's why they're not killing that many people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They kill somebody in Hawaii once a year. | ||
No shit. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
There's a guy I just got out the other day. | ||
The way you go hunting, do you like going fishing like that? | ||
Like, would you go deep sea fishing? | ||
Yeah, I go deep sea fishing. | ||
Damn, I'm always one of those. | ||
So on my bucket list, I want to catch a swordfish. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Yes. | ||
I'm talking about I want to fight for that. | ||
I want to almost fall out the boat. | ||
You know? | ||
Like, I really want to fight. | ||
I want to earn that shit. | ||
Fucking swordfish. | ||
I think that'd be badass. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's a delicious fish, too. | ||
That's a good one to catch. | ||
You eat that fucker. | ||
You're eating that fucker for a year. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Do you like boots? | ||
I love boots. | ||
Pericu fish. | ||
Yeah? | ||
It's my favorite. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Yeah, definitely. | ||
It's definitely my go-to. | ||
For the skin? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Yeah, the pericu. | ||
That does look badass. | ||
I've seen some dude here had one. | ||
One of the guests had a pair of fish boots on. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I was like, those are fish? | ||
Yep. | ||
Did it look kind of like pineapple? | ||
Yeah, like where the scales were. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's what it is? | ||
It's paracu fish. | ||
Wow. | ||
I like alligator. | ||
I like eel. | ||
There it is. | ||
Yep. | ||
I got both of those two. | ||
You just clicked right there. | ||
Them brown ones and them black and white ones. | ||
What is a paracu? | ||
What does that look like? | ||
Oh, let's look it up. | ||
I know it's a big-ass fish. | ||
It must be. | ||
Big-ass fish. | ||
I mean, if the skin's so fucking thick, you can make boots out of it. | ||
That's wild. | ||
I mean, there's some fish skin boots where, like, it look, like, scaly. | ||
You know? | ||
Oh, look at that fucker. | ||
Yeah, that's a big motherfucker. | ||
Whoa. | ||
What a crazy-looking fish. | ||
You can't tell me there's not no damn alien. | ||
Well, that is a dinosaur, sir. | ||
Yeah, bro. | ||
Oh, bro, Paul tried to tell me he don't believe in dinosaurs. | ||
Oh, that's hilarious. | ||
Paul Wall doesn't believe in dinosaurs? | ||
I'm like, what the fuck? | ||
What does he think happened? | ||
He just thinks it was bullshit. | ||
Like, he thinks it was just like a conspiracy theory. | ||
There is a whole conspiracy theory that dinosaurs didn't exist. | ||
Yeah, I'm sure. | ||
There's a conspiracy theory that fucking Pac is still living in Greece right now. | ||
Yeah, that's a little more ridiculous. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That actually is probably less ridiculous than dinosaurs not being real. | ||
I mean, what the fuck do you think those bones are? | ||
Like, the idea that Pac is dead, it's not likely. | ||
But in a world, like if you decided to fake murder someone and send that person to Spain and they live in Spain, the problem is Pac's too famous. | ||
It doesn't make sense. | ||
Everyone would see him somewhere. | ||
There's tourists everywhere. | ||
They'd be like, that guy looks exactly like Tupac. | ||
They'd take a picture of him and then people would realize Tupac's still alive. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
So it's physically possible for Tupac to be alive, but extremely, extremely, extremely unlikely. | ||
It's not possible for dinosaurs. | ||
We still got crocodiles and turtles. | ||
It's not possible for dinosaurs to not be real. | ||
We know too much. | ||
We know what year they died. | ||
With carbon dating, they know which animals lived 250 million years ago, which animals lived 65 million years ago. | ||
They know all that. | ||
I'm a huge fan of rhinos. | ||
I love rhinos. | ||
And bro, they just, the black rhino, one of them, I forgot which one it was, just went extinct. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Bro, those motherfuckers survived Pangea, survived fucking lava. | ||
They didn't survive bullets. | ||
They couldn't survive humans. | ||
No. | ||
People started using them for their horns. | ||
The horns! | ||
They got to the point people were going out there and shaving the horns down so they wouldn't kill them. | ||
They still do that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, fuck. | ||
That shit's sick. | ||
The horns are very popular in Asia, and they make like a T out of them. | ||
It's supposed to give you hard-ons. | ||
No shit. | ||
I mean, it probably doesn't even work. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's probably just some old wives tale. | ||
Even those rhinos and honey pack, like, what the fuck are y'all doing taking those? | ||
In some countries, there's groups of wealthy people that want to eat endangered animals. | ||
And they get off on it. | ||
They get off on the fact that they'll have dinner and, like, eat a tiger steak. | ||
They get off on the fact that they're eating something that's forbidden. | ||
And one of the things that they like to do is drink rhino tea. | ||
Rhino tea. | ||
Because it's, like, very expensive, very hard to get. | ||
And they'll sit around and drink rhino tea together. | ||
Yeah, shark fin, the shark fin soup. | ||
Yeah, shark fin soup. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That sucks. | ||
Yeah, it sucks for the shark. | ||
Yeah, it sucks for the whole thing. | ||
You're knocking these motherfuckers off for a fin. | ||
I know. | ||
It's pretty ridiculous. | ||
It's not even that good. | ||
No? | ||
Yeah, I had a shark fin soup when I was a kid. | ||
It's okay. | ||
I get it. | ||
Liver is better. | ||
No. | ||
Liver is better for you, probably. | ||
But shark fin soup tastes pretty good. | ||
But it's like, it's not... | ||
The way they do it is disgusting. | ||
They just chop the fucking... | ||
If they ate the fish... | ||
Look, you can eat sharks. | ||
They're good. | ||
They taste good. | ||
Mako shark's delicious. | ||
But eat the whole thing. | ||
Yeah, but then people started getting crazy because they chopped the fins off sharks. | ||
Like, you should never kill sharks. | ||
Like, then you're gonna have overpopulation of sharks. | ||
Correct. | ||
Like, there's places where they have an overpopulated population of sharks, and if you kill them, people get mad at you. | ||
Like, listen. | ||
Like in Florida, in Florida Keys, you're allowed to kill bull sharks. | ||
Those motherfuckers are everywhere. | ||
I watch these videos of these dudes fishing in the Florida Keys because they fish off the piers and it's a race to get that fish to a net before a shark kills it. | ||
Because the sharks are everywhere. | ||
There's giant bull sharks and bull sharks are the most aggressive. | ||
And bull sharks live in freshwater. | ||
So bull shark can swim up river and get all the way to fucking Illinois. | ||
They've found bull sharks in the Mississippi River like deep, deep, deep into the country. | ||
Damn, that's crazy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, you know Jaws? | ||
The movie Jaws? | ||
It was based on something that happened in New Jersey in a freshwater river. | ||
The sharks were in a freshwater river. | ||
So these people would go swimming in the river and these sharks started fucking these people up. | ||
Holy fuck, that sucks. | ||
In a river? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, you think, what's in that river? | ||
Trout, salmon, nope, sharks. | ||
Sharks made it all the way up into this fresh water, and bull sharks... | ||
That's crazy, because I love Lake Travis. | ||
That fucks me up. | ||
Well, I think Lake Travis is okay. | ||
Yeah? | ||
You would have heard by now. | ||
Yeah, definitely. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Lake Travis is not what you need to worry about. | ||
Where are the piranhas at? | ||
Which piranhas at? | ||
Brazil. | ||
Brazil? | ||
Yeah, different parts of South America. | ||
Bro, fucking anacondas? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Anacondas are, I can't believe those are fucking real. | ||
Did you see the biggest one they just caught? | ||
No. | ||
They just found one that was 28 feet long. | ||
Bro. | ||
Yeah, there's a video of it. | ||
It's insane. | ||
It's so fucking big. | ||
I have a friend of mine, Paul Rosalie, he lives in the Amazon. | ||
He does a lot of work in preserving the rainforest. | ||
And he hopped on one and he said it was so big he couldn't get his arms around it. | ||
26 feet long. | ||
It's so big, couldn't get his arms around it. | ||
Couldn't get his arms around it. | ||
Look at the size of this thing. | ||
Look how big this thing is. | ||
And then homeboy just swimming next to it. | ||
Bitch, you're crazy. | ||
Crazy. | ||
Look how big that fucking thing is. | ||
That thing was snapping. | ||
unidentified
|
Fuck you up. | |
Look at the size of that thing's head. | ||
I mean... | ||
That thing is just steady and everything it wants. | ||
Goats. | ||
There's a snake. | ||
I mean, there's a snake. | ||
There's a video on YouTube of a fucking snake throwing up a kangaroo. | ||
This guy's out of his fucking mind. | ||
Yeah, he's like, look at it. | ||
Look at the size of that thing. | ||
Like it's a pet or something. | ||
Slithering around under that water. | ||
And they can't even breathe water. | ||
They're just under there. | ||
They just use their legs. | ||
They use their body to undulate. | ||
I'd be scared fucking shitless. | ||
Yeah, they move pretty fucking fast, too. | ||
The squid, too. | ||
Look at that squid one. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, there's giant squid. | ||
You ever see that squid that they found? | ||
They found it on an oil rig. | ||
They had a deep water camera on an oil rig, and they're like, what the fuck is this? | ||
And it looks like an alien. | ||
It was a new species of squid they'd never seen before that had, like, crab legs. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Look at that thing. | ||
Yes, I've seen this. | ||
Look at this thing. | ||
What the fuck is that? | ||
It's an alien. | ||
That's what I'm trying to tell y'all, bro. | ||
They're not in space. | ||
I mean, look at that. | ||
If that was in space, you would 100% think that was an alien. | ||
If we went to another planet and you saw that thing floating around the sky, you'd be like, oh my god, the magnificent alien. | ||
And everyone would want to study it. | ||
2007? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
What the fuck? | |
What the fuck? | ||
Yeah, 2007 they found that thing. | ||
Well, they've always known that giant squids were real, but I don't think they really caught them on camera until like a decade or so ago. | ||
This was in the Gulf of Mexico? | ||
Oh, look at that one! | ||
That's where I'm from. | ||
Magna-pena squid attack. | ||
Look at the fucking length of that thing. | ||
That's insane. | ||
Look how long those tentacles go. | ||
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
Are they technically tentacles? | ||
What would you call them? | ||
And look how thick they are. | ||
Look how long they are. | ||
Look at the bottom one. | ||
Where the fuck is the end of that thing? | ||
Man, how long is that? | ||
What the fuck is that swimming in the back? | ||
You see that black dot? | ||
Yeah, what is that? | ||
Nah, bro. | ||
See, that's what I'm saying. | ||
I would die of heart failure. | ||
Yeah, it could be on the camera. | ||
Yeah, that's on the camera. | ||
I'd be terrified, bro. | ||
Yeah, you should be terrified. | ||
Look at that thing. | ||
Do you think they sting? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
They must. | ||
They do something. | ||
I mean, there's got to be some reason that it has these long, long appendages. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Jellyfish are pretty... | ||
That's true, too. | ||
Oh, wow. | ||
Look at it moving around. | ||
That's how it got out of there. | ||
Oh, look at them. | ||
It's reaching out towards the camera. | ||
Look how close it got. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
They touched the bottom of it, it looks like. | ||
Wow. | ||
unidentified
|
Bro. | |
It's an alien. | ||
And by the way, they only know what, like, is in 10%. | ||
Look how fast it's going. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Crazy how it moves. | ||
I just guessed they're so long because there's nothing down there, and the second one of those tentacles touches something, that thing is gone. | ||
That's 7,000 feet. | ||
Yeah, there's nothing there. | ||
7,000 feet below the ocean that thing lives. | ||
unidentified
|
Amazing. | |
Deeper, if you go deeper, you catch... | ||
What's those fish that was on Nemo? | ||
The fucking... | ||
With the light? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Those crazy fish that live in the bottom that actually have illumination. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. | ||
Some of them go in the dark and shit. | ||
Bioluminescence. | ||
They have bioluminescence. | ||
Their body actually makes light. | ||
Do you think eventually we'll be on Mars living? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Like Earth? | ||
If human beings don't kill themselves, eventually we'll figure out how to get to Mars and set up a colony. | ||
Yeah, I think there's probably life on Mars at one point in time. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, they think Mars had a stable atmosphere and Mars had water. | ||
Do you think that the moon landing was real? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I hope it's not. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's more exciting if it was fake. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
It's more exciting to know that something so big could be faked and that that hoax could last for so long. | ||
Correct. | ||
Until they go back. | ||
Dude, I bet people would be fucked. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It would be really rough if we found out that the moon landing was fake. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And there's a lot of people that think it's fake, including a lot of people that have studied it. | ||
And then there's a lot of people that think it's real, and a lot of people that know a lot about it. | ||
The cameraman had to have been the first person, not Neil Wright. | ||
Well, I think they probably had a camera supposedly set up to capture Neil climbing out of the lunar rover, the lunar lander. | ||
But the fun part is that they faked it. | ||
The fun theory is that there was no way to get through the Van Allen radiation belts and that we were in a war with Russia, a cold war with Russia, to who could get to the moon first, and that we faked it. | ||
That's a fun way to say it. | ||
What does news stand for? | ||
Isn't news a... | ||
News? | ||
The word news? | ||
Yes, sir. | ||
Isn't that an acronym? | ||
What does it stand for? | ||
National Entertainment... | ||
unidentified
|
I know it's entertainment. | |
Something's entertainment. | ||
Why do I keep seeing a dude right there with no clothes on? | ||
Oh, that's Elon Musk. | ||
That's this dude, Beeple. | ||
He's a digital artist. | ||
He created this NFT, and it also has a digital art. | ||
It's like GigaChad. | ||
It's like super swole. | ||
Elon Musk wants AI, allows you to edit your body. | ||
I seen this AI of Elon Musk, and he was like, notable events, weather, and sports. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
I guess. | ||
Hmm. | ||
Some people don't agree with that, too. | ||
Oh, they don't agree? | ||
I mean, there's... | ||
Okay, the World News has been claimed to be an acronym of the four cardinal directions, North, East, West, and South. | ||
However, the old spelling of the words varied from NUIS, N-E-W-I-S, N-E-V-I-S, N-E-U-S. Huh. | ||
So what's the origin of the word, then? | ||
It's not an acronym. | ||
Okay, people think news is an acronym, but it's not. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
It makes sense. | ||
It's like, what's new? | ||
What's new? | ||
What's going on that's new? | ||
What does news mean? | ||
It stands for a notable event. | ||
Oh, it says that. | ||
No, that says it's set. | ||
Verify. | ||
Yeah, no, it's not. | ||
Okay. | ||
Who should I trust? | ||
Collecting new events as referred to news. | ||
No, I think that's what it is. | ||
I think it's new events. | ||
It's an acronym. | ||
See, so there... | ||
Okay. | ||
No, the claim. | ||
That's Snopes. | ||
Okay. | ||
I think it's just what's new. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
But people always make acronyms out of things, you know? | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Harry Eve Blit, the H-E-B. Yeah. | ||
Stupid. | ||
Here, everything's better. | ||
That's what H-E-B's supposed to be. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
They just... | ||
People do that all the time with stuff. | ||
They also do it because it makes them sound more intelligent. | ||
Correct. | ||
You know? | ||
Pretend that this... | ||
Do you know what it really means? | ||
My cousin Romeo, that motherfucker, he be getting my stupid ass all the time, but he'll make words up, and that motherfucker, like, he just make it sound so real. | ||
He commits. | ||
Bro, I be like, oh yeah, he be making me think, like, damn, I gotta buy a new part. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Fucking Romeo, punk ass. | ||
I love that motherfucker, man. | ||
I love my family, bro. | ||
Well, one of the things I really like about you is how much you credit people and how much you talk well about people. | ||
You know, you're really interested in elevating people around you. | ||
Bro, I've been dicking the dirt, bro. | ||
Like, I know what it's like to be nobody and loved by nobody. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy. | ||
You know, like... | ||
It's good being lonely. | ||
I like being lonely. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Give you time to think. | ||
You can fucking figure shit out. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
People are a headache sometimes too. | ||
But being lonely is... | ||
Fuck that. | ||
You know? | ||
Being lonely forever is the worst place to be. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, we need each other. | ||
That's what we were talking about earlier. | ||
Like, to be the only person who's doing well is crazy. | ||
You don't want to be that. | ||
Yeah, fuck that. | ||
That's a terrible place to be. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then you're surrounded by people who are mad at you. | ||
Fuck that. | ||
All I wanna do is just make friends, bro. | ||
Everywhere I go, people love me because I come correct. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I treat them good. | ||
I make them feel... | ||
People only start hating when they feel excluded. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Bro, you give that motherfucker a broom and tell him to go sweep and he gonna be happy. | ||
That is true. | ||
People feel mad when they get excluded. | ||
They feel jealous and bitter and angry. | ||
It's the walled garden, you know? | ||
They see you having a good time over there, and they can't even be a part of that. | ||
Like, fuck that dude. | ||
Fuck those people. | ||
Because they associate their bad feelings of being rejected with you doing something to them. | ||
You know? | ||
There was just one dude I seen back where I'm from, and I was like, man, what's up, cuz? | ||
He was just like, what's up? | ||
I was like, bitch. | ||
I was like, man, I could really talk some shit to you, but then I'd be down bad because you down bad. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
But like, man, like, I just tried to make him feel good. | ||
I was like, man, I love you, bro. | ||
I don't love that motherfucker at all. | ||
As a matter of fact, I probably have hate towards him, but like, man, I love you, bro. | ||
Well, you might have changed the way he thinks if you said that. | ||
When you said that and said, I love you, maybe had to confront his own shit. | ||
unidentified
|
Hopefully. | |
But why was I being a dick to that dude? | ||
Yeah, like, bro. | ||
He was cool to me. | ||
Because he's excluded, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Right. | ||
Well, like, bitch, I love you, bro. | ||
Yeah, I don't even hate you. | ||
No, I take it back. | ||
I don't think I hate nobody. | ||
I don't want to hate nobody. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, if you can get through your life without hating people, you'd be way better off. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, don't get it twisted. | ||
I got grudges. | ||
I got grudges since like the third grade. | ||
That's just me though. | ||
But I don't think I hate nobody. | ||
I don't want to hate nobody. | ||
And you wish you probably didn't have those grudges. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's a better way to live. | ||
It is, bro. | ||
If you can get through life with as little hate as possible, that's good. | ||
What's that old expression? | ||
That hate is the only poison that affects the vessel that holds it? | ||
Yeah, I don't know what you're saying, but I know my bop, whenever my tia Rose passed, we were talking about it, and he was like, she was just always mad. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Her anger is what drove her to the dirt. | ||
There's a lot of people that live life like that. | ||
It's a defense mechanism at first. | ||
It's how you stay alive. | ||
It's self-preservation. | ||
You stay angry, keep people away from you that are going to hurt you. | ||
Mark Twain once said, anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it's stored than anything on which it's poured. | ||
Perfect. | ||
Never solves any problem or worry. | ||
Rather, it makes us more stressful. | ||
100%. | ||
100%. | ||
Yeah, I do agree. | ||
Yeah, if you can get through life with no hate, no anger, you'll be way better off. | ||
My dad always said, you're gonna bitch and moan about it, you're gonna fucking figure it out. | ||
I think that was my words of that, you know? | ||
Same thing, too. | ||
A lot of life is how you address a situation. | ||
You could decide that this situation is the end of your world and life sucks now and life falls apart. | ||
Or you could say, okay, I'll learn from this. | ||
Yeah, correct. | ||
Correct. | ||
I can get something out of this. | ||
The glass is half full and half empty. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
Mm-hmm. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So where are you at from here? | ||
Where are you going? | ||
SPI, going to South Padre Island. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
My shows, bro, my fans spoiled me, bro. | ||
It's cool performing at the rodeo. | ||
It's cool doing all this other stuff, but those aren't my shows. | ||
When they're my shows and the crowd's all yours, it hit different. | ||
Like I said, bro, it's a beautiful moment. | ||
They babied me. | ||
That's awesome, man. | ||
I love my fans. | ||
South Padre Island is going to be crazy. | ||
And there's nothing but Rasa out there. | ||
You know, none but Mexicans out there, they finna go crazy. | ||
Nice. | ||
Bro, they treat me like I'm Michael Jackson, bro. | ||
Well, you're the fucking man right now. | ||
I'm trying, bro. | ||
It's exciting. | ||
I'm trying. | ||
It's an exciting time for you. | ||
And I feel like the beautiful part about my story is, like, bro, I'm finna be here 20 plus years, you know? | ||
I see myself being in this game forever because, like, I just, besides the fact of me just not knowing what else to do, it just comes too natural, you know? | ||
Like, as a fear, I always had a fear. | ||
As a kid, I would eventually just stop having shit to talk about. | ||
In my mind, I'd be like, bro, how do people do it? | ||
They make new songs every day. | ||
I was like 13 years old when I thought that. | ||
unidentified
|
Isn't that funny? | |
Yeah. | ||
I just needed to live more. | ||
But that's every artist's fear. | ||
You run out of things to make, run out of things to say. | ||
And also sounding repetitive. | ||
That's another thing. | ||
It's always been a fear of mine. | ||
But like I said, it's recess, so I have no walls. | ||
I'll bounce everywhere. | ||
Well, that's a beautiful approach. | ||
How often are you touring? | ||
Every time I drop a project, I like to tour. | ||
I mean, I'm pretty much touring 24 fucking 7 because I'm always booked, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Even when I'm not having a tour, I got sideshows and shit like that. | ||
But every time I drop a project, I like to have a tour with it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like I just dropped this project March 1st. | ||
It's called Texas Technician. | ||
And I'll probably work it for like a month or two. | ||
And then once they have it all memorized and down, boom, I'm going to jump on the road with them. | ||
Yep, that's it. | ||
So Texas Technician, I wanted to go with the CD just because like... | ||
Like, where I'm from, like, even Riff Raff, being at Sharpstown, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Handing CDs out, like, check me out, check me out, check me out. | ||
Like, that was the hustle of it. | ||
That was the beauty in it, you know what I'm saying? | ||
And I feel like I wish that was still a thing, because, like, I hold pride in handing CDs out, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, That shit's cool, bro. | ||
Especially because I don't look like I rap. | ||
Especially it's as good as I do it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
So when they see me and they're like, man, fuck it. | ||
That one person just gonna happen to put it in. | ||
And then he hears that. | ||
He's like, what the fuck? | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
You don't sound like you look. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
So it fucks them up, you know? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I like that hustle, though. | ||
I guess it's a South Side thing. | ||
I think that's a part of our music culture, though. | ||
You know, Texas. | ||
We're handing CDs out and shit like that. | ||
Because we just hustlers. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, we don't gangbang. | ||
I mean, yeah, there's gangbangers out here and shit, but we're not politicking. | ||
We're not worried about that bullshit. | ||
We want money and pussy. | ||
unidentified
|
For real. | |
And you know what's the best part about it? | ||
It's salt and pepper. | ||
Pussy make money, take money. | ||
It can save lives. | ||
It can take lives. | ||
There's been peace over pussy. | ||
Oh, we'll give you three virgins if you just don't fuck with us no more. | ||
Pussy make the world go around in a lot of ways. | ||
In a fuckload of ways. | ||
That's our main motivation for men. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Yeah. | ||
At least the right ones. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I mean, how many wars have been started over pussy? | ||
Yeah, no, correct, bro. | ||
Like I said, people die over pussy all the time. | ||
Like, bro, I don't fuck dudes, bitches. | ||
Like, some people do that shit. | ||
I don't do that shit, bro. | ||
And if I have, I'm fucking, I'm sorry. | ||
For real. | ||
I don't do that shit, bro. | ||
That's them hoe-ass shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
There's dudes you can't trust. | ||
Yeah, like a while ago, this was a long time ago, I went to go fuck on this girl. | ||
And, you know, I seen she had a baby and all this shit. | ||
And I was like, where your man at? | ||
unidentified
|
And she was like, oh, he in chemo. | |
And when I heard Kima, I know where he works off the rip. | ||
Because like in Kima, it's nothing but plants. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Refinery, chemical, whatever it is. | ||
And I said, damn. | ||
I said, so he drive, wake up in the morning, three, four o'clock in the morning, drive two hours to a job I know he don't want to do, and then drive another two hours home to a bitch that ain't shit? | ||
Hell, I can't even fuck you. | ||
I can't even get my dick hard to fuck you. | ||
I walked out. | ||
Real life, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I say it all like, man, if your man ain't shit and he not providing, I understand why you would want to leave him. | ||
Fuck him, you know? | ||
Yeah. | ||
But, man, if you got a motherfucker that's really putting in there work and you being a hoe like that, bitch, you ain't shit. | ||
We don't even have good hoes no more because I respect hoes and good sluts. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I respect strippers. | ||
I respect any woman that get up and get it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
They not even good hoes no more. | ||
Can't even find a good hoe, you know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, these bitches are outplayed. | ||
They're all in the internet and all that extra shit. | ||
They're looking at something, they think it's something, but it's not. | ||
That has ruined a lot of people's minds. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Perceptions from social media has ruined a lot of people's minds. | ||
Bro, I'd be at my shows and shit, and these bitches be trying to get in my section and shit like that. | ||
I'd be like, bitch, move. | ||
And they don't know how to handle that shit. | ||
They've never been talked to like that, never been done like that. | ||
Especially by an ugly-ass Mexican like me. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Like, it fucks them up. | ||
But, bitch, you need to be humbled. | ||
Like, when I be at shows, I'll see a group of fine-ass women and I'll see a big bitch right here and I'll be like, come here, huh? | ||
Because I'm going to boost this big baby up because she don't get that love. | ||
These bitches, they're used to it. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
They almost expect it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Bitch, fuck you. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
Get your big ass up here, baby. | ||
You finna shine tonight. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I like that shit, though. | ||
I love the underdogs. | ||
I love helping people win. | ||
I love seeing people that never win win. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
It just feels good. | ||
It does feel good. | ||
It feels amazing. | ||
I remember being a kid, watching other kids be on, like, America's Got Talent and shit, and they be singing, and I just start crying. | ||
I just start crying. | ||
You know, like, fuck! | ||
It's amazing. | ||
It is amazing. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
I've never cried on... | ||
I mean, yeah, I've cried on stage once, and that's when I saw the t-shirt that Homegirl made of my mama. | ||
But that hit different because, like, my mama used to be sitting on the floor ironing $100 bills, and I'd be standing on the bed rapping to whatever music video was being played. | ||
She'd be like, go, V-Man, go! | ||
So when I seen that shirt, I just looked down and closed my eyes, and I heard, go, V-Man, go! | ||

|
And I looked up, and I just see thousands of people. | |
And I had no choice but to cry on that one. | ||
But I've never been able to tear up because I just do this shit. | ||
So every time I get on that stage, it's so natural and so me that I'm not even thinking about emotions. | ||
I'm like, I'm here fucking this shit up. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
But when I look at myself before I do it or I think of myself on stage, I get emotional. | ||
But never in the moment. | ||
Never in the moment. | ||
In the moment I'm there and I'm here to whoop ass. | ||
Yes, sir. | ||
I love it. | ||
Bro, let's end on that. | ||
You're a bad motherfucker. | ||
I'm glad I met you. | ||
Nah, I'm glad I met you, bro. | ||
Like, man, I swear I'm not trying to suck your dick, bro. | ||
You're a bad motherfucker. | ||
Like, I respect you. | ||
I love you. | ||
My father is my hero. | ||
And knowing that you're one of his heroes, it's like... | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
I come home with a lion's head today. | ||
So it's beautiful. | ||
Thank you, brother. | ||
I love you too, man. | ||
I think you're an awesome force out there. | ||
