Snoring can be a punchline until it’s the reason you can’t breathe at 3 a.m. Producer Kyv'ace pulls up and tells a story that starts with music and ends with a real health warning: untreated sleep apnea and high blood pressure can spiral into chronic kidney disease. Hearing him describe that night in Charlotte and what the doctors found afterward is a gut check for anybody who keeps brushing symptoms off as “normal.”

We also get deep into hip hop craft. Kyv talks boom bap loyalty, neo soul love, and how he actually builds records in today’s remote era: locking BPM, testing beats with acapellas to prove the pocket, then matching the right lyricist to the right vibe. He breaks down his EO Dub roots and the MC Challenge format that pushes written bars, a cappella, freestyle grab bag, beat juggle, and the cypher round, plus why that kind of platform can sharpen a whole city.

Then we do what No Advisory does best: honest arguments. The crew drags the club scene prices, debates automatic draft registration, and goes all the way in on “snitching vs being a victim” with real examples and zero sugar coating. Lex Rated closes with a raw dating reality check about transactional love and the question that stings the most: are you trying to connect or calculate?

Meeting Producer Kai Vace

SPEAKER_15

Yo, I'm Kai Vase. I'm originally from New York and New Jersey. I lived in New Jersey as well. I lay out here in Charlotte, been here for about six years, and I'm a music producer right now. You know, I was a former rap artist uh for 20 plus years, but now I'm a music producer for about six years. Dope. On the dead oh mies.

SPEAKER_20

So coming from up north to Charlotte, how does those environments shape your sound, like and your um hustle?

SPEAKER_15

Oh uh I'm very traditional. Like I stick to the boom bat, you know what I'm saying? Like that's that's my style of uh hip hop that I listen to. I'm not really into the trap, but shout out to all the people that do the trap music, you know what I'm saying? Not hating at all. There's a lot of good artists that do that um as well. But my sound, the stuff I like to listen to is traditionally the boom bat. Uh and like the Neo Soul stuff too. I'm really big on the Neo Soul.

SPEAKER_18

Fuck with Neo Soul.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I fuck with Neo Soul.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, Jill Scott.

SPEAKER_20

She goes, Joe Scott. And Miss Windows. Yeah, I definitely noticed that um some of your projects, you know, feature a lot more of the lyricists of the rap game, and that's something that I can appreciate coming from up top myself. I'm not from New York, but I'm from Connecticut. I don't know, y'all already know. Harvard Stand Up.

SPEAKER_06

50 Cent neighborhood.

SPEAKER_20

He's from he's from Southside Jamaica, Queens. But yeah, so I just wanted to know like how was it working with some of the hottest lyricists, like Saw Scott, J.R. Ryder, J. Hood, like some of the people that you have written big beats for, you know, just seeing them in the booth and they doing their thing. Like, how was that experience for you?

SPEAKER_15

Uh so it was a it was a it's an interesting experience because I started the album back in like 2022, and uh, and that's when I already moved here. When you listen to the album, a lot of a lot of the artists are from where I'm from back home, like New York, New Jersey. So I didn't have the opportunity to really be in the booth with them. So I, you know, I was like, I reached out to a lot of artists that I knew already, and I'm like, yo, I want you to run this song. I hear you on the song, I had this vision for the song, and they went in the booth and they did it, sent it back to me, and then that's when I, you know, uh I tweaked it up a bit uh to my liking. And uh that that's kind of how 90% of the album was done. There's only a few songs that I actually was in the booth with the people. Um gotcha.

SPEAKER_20

So what what's your style when it comes to creating? Do you know what you're gonna do when you walk in the building, or is it something where it's like a build-up or a workup through it?

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, I definitely know. Like when once I start doing the beat, you know, uh, my trick is I like to grab, you know, I know what BPM that I'm using.

SPEAKER_07

And uh per minute for I don't know.

SPEAKER_15

Yes, and I look for acapellas that are already out there. So like I go on YouTube and I find like a Nas acapella that matches the BPM of the beat that I'm making, and I throw Nas on it just to see how it sounds. Like, do I have something here? Like, does it sound dope with Nas on it? Does it sound like something? And then if it does, then I'm like, bet. Then I find an artist that kind of matches that style, and then I reach out to them, like, yo, I think you would sound dope on this. And uh, and I give them like the vision of like the topic, maybe with the beat and stuff like that. And uh they just they just go to work. Everybody did they did their thing on the album, man? I'm proud, man. I'm proud of everybody for great.

SPEAKER_20

I'm not bad. So um, I know from you know, coming from up north and all that you say, it's like more of a hustle mentality. How does that translate to Charlotte for you? Because I know you said you've been here for six years now. Do you feel like it's kind of matching that same energy?

SPEAKER_15

Oh, no, not at all.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, be real, but this this is no advisor. We want the real the real.

SPEAKER_15

Not at all. Yeah, we're gonna talk about that. Like Charlotte, Charlotte definitely, I mean, shout out to Charlotte, but you know, it's kind of hard. Like, I I feel like it's kind of hard for me. First of all, I'm not like really a people person, so it took I'm I'm kind of an introvert, so you know, I don't go outside often. So that's like one strike against me, you know. And I'm from New York, so it's kind of hard for me to find those people to like really work with that are from down here. Some people don't even give me a chance, they write me off because they just come up top. Yeah. So I feel like that's the thing too. Um, and then also just this new era of people that do music. Um, you know, everything's on social media. And um from from back in my day, like when we when we did music, if I bumped into you and you was nice or you was dope, like yo, let's collab, let's do that. You know what I mean? Nowadays, like you reach out to somebody and they try and maybe they have like a thousand more followers than you, and now they try to yeah, they try to like yeah, they leave you on red or something like that. Or then they the craziest thing to me is like local artists charging for money for features. Like that's that's crazy to me. Like, you're gonna charge another your local artist and you charge another local artist for make it make sense.

SPEAKER_20

Make it make sense.

SPEAKER_15

Like the reason why people are charging, you know what I mean? Like, for instance, uh J.R. Ryder. Like J.R. Ryder has some type of name. Like people are gonna, that's gonna generate some interest when you see his name on the album, and they're gonna want to check it out, maybe even buy the album. So that's why them kind of artists charge us. Like MC Joe Blow charging me$300 for a verse, like for what why?

SPEAKER_07

I ain't getting nobody named Joe Blow or anything like that.

SPEAKER_15

Like, why? Joe Blow.

SPEAKER_18

No, I didn't do no shit.

SPEAKER_07

So let me um, because you know, I known of you, because crazy because, you know, during the training day circuit, and that's when I like connected the dots, right? Go back to like training camp. It was in training camp at the pyramid. Yeah, right? It was crazy. It was like we was doing training camp, and then they always said, 'cause you did your joint on Sundays, like, yo, you gotta go to EO Dub. It was extremely hard to get into fucking EO Dub. Like, take us back to those times. How those times were for you. I know how for me it was incredible.

Building Beats With Acapellas

SPEAKER_15

Uh I got down with EO Dub, uh, which is the end of the week, uh, it which is a platform, uh, longest open open, the longest running open mic in New York City. Yep. Um, and uh that started in 2001, like I believe like a week after the pyramids. Like I mean the week after the Twin Towers. And um and they started that, and uh I came along around 2004, I believe. And uh I just I found them, I forgot, maybe it was MySpace. I don't remember MySpace. Oh MySpace. Yeah, bro, don't talk about fucking lyrics and the shit coming from the background. I think it was the MySpace days, and I seen my guy Big Zoo who's actually on my album. He's actually the founder of uh End of the Week. Uh so I saw a video of him freestyling with uh KRS1 and I'm like, and he was showing KRS one up. Like he was like, I was like, woo! You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, okay, we gotta go out there to Lower East Side, New York, and uh and see what's good. So we went out there, and that's when I realized, like, yo, there's some like crazy lyricists out there. I grew up in a town where I was pretty much always the dopest nigga out. You know what I'm saying? Like, and then when I went out there, I'm like, okay, there's people on my level, and even better. You know what I mean? So, you know, that that elevated me to, you know, that allowed me to step my game up. And uh, especially seeing all those artists, like you got Iron Solomon that came out there. You got Nav Hoffa that came out there, uh Nims, the don't you ever disrespect me, that guy. He's from there. Uh, I was in the studio with him, Sway Sever, Poison Pen. There's so many artists that came out of EO Dub. Uh so I'm just glad to be a part of the family, and I'm glad to uh to be able to bring that down here to Charlotte.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that was incredible. I was like, I was going through this day, and they were like, Yeah, man, you gotta um go go check out the um the the what's the name of it that you call it again? I want to make it MC Challenge. MC Challenge. And they was like, yeah, a guy named du-da-da. And I'm like, okay, and I saw when I went do my research, I was like, EO dub. I'm like, it can't be. Remember when I hit you up? Like, this can't be the nigga from like, yeah, like that's fucking crazy. But yeah, talk about that, because that end of the week, um, that joint is incredible. Like, it brings out the lyricists. Yes. I had my man Luci Bars.

SPEAKER_15

He has Oh yeah, definitely. So the end of the week MC Challenge is a five-round competition where there's usually like five to six MCs that get in it, and they do uh they go through a course of five rounds. So you got the written round, you got the a cappella round, then you got the freestyle grab bag round, which everybody loves, which uh you bring a bag on the stage and it's a bag full of random items, and the MCs gotta pull them out and on the spot and rap about them. And then you have the uh beat juggle round uh where the DJ tries to throw you off with mad different wild beats. So throw on like Super Mario or throwing the Family Matters theme. Yeah, and you gotta rap on it. Nasty work right there. And then you got the cypher round. So, you know, that that whole MC challenge was uh created by um by another founder, his name is Vice Versus, uh, who actually passed away during the COVID era. Um and uh he started he came up with the idea and he created that, and um it was it was just meant not to be like a rap battle to diss each other and and stuff like that. It's just like to showcase your skills, like who's better bar for bar, pound for pound?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I mean it really did the last one that shit tests your MC skills, most definitely.

SPEAKER_15

And and it's hard, it is hard. Like people people people think they could just jump into it just because like a few people said they nice, and then they realize when they're on stage, like damn, I ain't it didn't go exactly what I thought it thought it would be. And and sometimes it's not because you're just you're not good enough, it's because you didn't you didn't prepare for this type of event. You know what I mean? It's all preparation to me.

SPEAKER_07

Like you know absolutely.

SPEAKER_18

I have a question about the transition from New York down here.

SPEAKER_20

What's something that you wish or would like to be instilled as far as the lifestyle in New York and Charlotte that you think would really help artists excel?

SPEAKER_15

Down here, um I would say like I feel like I feel like it's real clicky down here. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's very, very, very clicky. That all the time. Um and and it's just like damn, it's like like like I said, I remember like the EO Dub days. I go to the EO Dub and I'm brushing shoulders with all these known legends, like artists, and it's nothing to get on a verse with them, it's nothing to collaborate with them, to talk to them, yeah, to do, but down here, it's like who you? Like, why are you talking to me? Like, like uh like niggas, you trying to get on, we're trying to get on together.

SPEAKER_20

We both got some time and let's make this shit pop.

SPEAKER_15

And it just kills me because it's like, damn, I I come from I come from an era where a bunch of animals, man, and and y'all down here.

SPEAKER_07

All in the same accord and shit. Yeah. These niggas out here.

SPEAKER_15

So so to answer your question, that that I I wish like people would work more down here and not be like be less clicky. Because you know what I mean? Like, that's why Charlotte doesn't really have nobody. I feel like Charlotte doesn't really have any anybody besides like the baby. And uh I don't know who well.

SPEAKER_07

We got baby got Fetty P got Jay Breezy that's gonna be.

SPEAKER_15

I just got on the Fetty P's dope.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, he's real like different.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Um I mean you gotta you got Tootie, Big Tootie that's out here. There's a couple of artists that's uh making headway. Um, but we we was talking with Breezy the other day, um talking about like the sound, yeah. Right, like what's the Charlotte sound and all of that? Um, you know how New York, you know, even with down to the drill, you knew if it was a New York drill song as opposed to a Chicago drill song. It was just different, the sound. You know, it's like I don't know.

SPEAKER_15

What do you what do you guys think the uh the Charlotte sound is? Nobody knows.

SPEAKER_20

Copycat.

SPEAKER_15

Nobody, nobody.

SPEAKER_20

I don't think they have a sound. I definitely haven't heard of it.

SPEAKER_07

Pitty Pablo. Yeah, nobody's doing it. Pitty Pablo.

SPEAKER_20

I love making some Petey Pablo. Don't go over and I don't want my uncle.

SPEAKER_07

What do you think Charlotte Sound is? Charlotte Sound should be. It should be any place, right? Any state, borough, whatever. I wish I should I gotta be able to hear the artist to know, oh, they from Charlotte. You know what I'm saying? Like, I I don't know. Like the baby don't even know.

SPEAKER_20

I feel like it's so many people here, like it is really a melting pot. You hear that so many times. But people have been here since they were, you know, 10, 11, 12, but they're always going back home. So they're bringing that culture back with them, and there's just no sound because a charlatan rapping, I don't know. I don't see it.

SPEAKER_15

I think we could create a sound if we stop being so clicking.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I think it's never gonna say it start, it starts with the producer though.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it does.

SPEAKER_15

There's a lot of producers, but that's what I'm saying. Like, there's a producer, but he'll only mess with his small little group of people, and and that's it. Like he won't work, even if you're dumb nice, it'll be like, who are you? Why like nah? I I'm cool with you know my little circle of people.

Charlotte Music Scene Culture Shock

SPEAKER_05

Like I think that's how it got beat up. It gotta be like whatever circle of people he link with, it's up to them to take that beat to the next level. Cause it's like kind of with the Detroit sound. Like everybody saw what Rio was doing, right? And like baby facing them, and like now everybody in Detroit and around the world want to use that same beat concept. Right. That's the sound.

SPEAKER_15

They made it hot, though. They made it hot. Like the Grizzel there too and the Buffalo show.

SPEAKER_16

Facts, facts, facts.

SPEAKER_20

Shout out to BSF. Sorry, yeah, no, those my guys, sorry. But um, I had a question. So basically, um um name a track. I know that basically you do beats and you produce as well, but you have your own album with your music on it. So can you name a track on the album that basically represents the old you, and then one track that represents who you're becoming?

SPEAKER_15

Oh, that's a good question. Oh, you got me looking at that.

SPEAKER_20

That's how I'm coming, friend.

SPEAKER_16

How she's coming.

SPEAKER_15

You got me looking at the back of my uh track list right now. Like, get into it. Okay. Um the old me. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say the old me return uh call of war. And that's that's featuring, that's featuring my man Luci Bars, that's right here.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, we love the old rap.

SPEAKER_15

I was actually in the studio uh with Lucy when he did that. Um that's one of the few uh uh songs that I was actually in the studio with the artists. And um the reason why I say the old style, because that is just straight raw. Just bars, like just straight up, just bars is going in. Um and he did his thing on that joint. So and that and that's what I embodied, especially coming up. I was all about just lyrical bars, just getting my bars off. Um the new me, I would say, I would say uh guys only. And that's uh featuring um Big Zoo, who's the founder of EOD.

SPEAKER_07

Um that's the one that we put on the um the fly joints on the uh on Instagram.

SPEAKER_15

No, I believe that's uh put you on. That with the RB hook on it.

SPEAKER_07

Nah, not say, say it.

SPEAKER_15

This is for the guy. Yeah, that's the one.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that's it. I know it was a tripper.

SPEAKER_15

So I say that because uh I've I've uh lately, the last six months, I've gotten real closer to God. And uh I've been going to church and uh I've been in my prayers and I've been uh you know studying the Bible. Uh and I got b baptized back in um August. So congratulations. And Nikkeo, Nikao, shot to Nikola, yes.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, you know, with the kidneys and everything like that. Um just tell the people just about that whole process and what was your mind, what was your thought process when you first got diagnosed and how did you feel?

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. Uh so when I got diagnosed, I was actually that was actually uh Super Bowl Sunday, uh, the the Eagles Super Bowl, the one that they they won last year. Um I was about to say, when was that one? I was uh Don't play with me. I was on my way to work. Uh I used to work for uh ABC, the channel. I was a broadcasting engineer for the uh ABC station down here. It's actually right across the street. Actually, uh the station. They hired um but um but uh yeah, I was working there and uh I had stopped at the uh QC right right over there to grab a snapple, and as soon as I walked in there, I couldn't breathe. It's like I felt like I was trying to throw up, but nothing was coming out. It was like clear water and stuff like that coming out. So I'm like, yo, what's going on? I thought I was like having a heart attack or something. I was asking the clerk to call like the ambulance or something like that. He thought I was like, because it was like three o'clock in the morning. So if you go over there at three o'clock in the morning, it's nothing but people coming back from parties and stuff like that. So he thought I was one of them. He's like, yeah, if you want to do all that, get out the store. Wow. And I'm like, yo, I'm over here dying, bro. You know what I'm saying? So you know, I got out the store. Luckily, you know, they always have a security guard outside of the uh of that QC. So I was like, yo, can you call the amateur? He's like, what's wrong? I was like, I don't know. So they came, they checked my oxygen, my oxygen level was like like damn near like gone. Like, you know what I'm saying? So he was like, he was like, Yeah, you you need to go to the hospital now. And at the time, because I'm like a soldier, so at the time, like I could I could fight through pain, you know what I'm saying? So at the time, like, you know what, I feel a little better. I just want to go to work. I don't feel like dealing with hospitals. I don't feel like typical nigga shit. Yeah. I didn't want to do that. I was just gonna go to work and he just kept it honest with me. He was like Yeah, he was like, Yeah, if you you if you do, like, you know what I'm saying, you have to first you wanna have to sign off on on this paperwork because whatever happens to you, like, we're not gonna be

SPEAKER_06

Possible, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, he was like, but he was like, realistically, in the next few hours, you're probably gonna be dead. Yeah, he said it just like he just he said it just like that. And I'm like, damn, why did you have to say that?

SPEAKER_07

As men, sometimes we only be like, all right, we good, like you say, you can tough it out. Nah, you know, mm-mm. So he had to say it that way to you so it could resonate with you like the severity of it. Like, yo.

SPEAKER_20

Because what if he didn't say that in the statement? Like, just sign this shit, all right. Fuck you, nigga.

SPEAKER_18

I don't think that's what it was. I think he just really didn't want to get sued.

SPEAKER_20

But he signed the paperwork. You can't get sued. No, that's what I'm saying. That's why he said it. That's why he said all that. Because he needed you to know, like, if something happened, this yo Right.

High blood pressure and which is the sleeper, no pun intended, is uh the sleep apnea. Like people sleep on uh I really want I really my main issue is to come in here and talk about sleep apnea because people have it and they just think, oh, I just snore loud. Nah, there's something, there's something wrong, gang.

Because I I'm like a it was like a three-bedroom um uh Airbnb. So he heard me all the way down on the other side of the, and he was like, Man, it's like it's like I thought I thought I thought you wasn't gonna make it, bro.

SPEAKER_07

Shout out to sis. He's coming in two weeks, he's late. You know what y'all need to do? Like, it takes people that's not from here to create these movements, and then everybody would follow. That's how it is. Like, start a training day, and you know what I mean? You see how this shit does.

SPEAKER_15

We come down here, we start something, then we turn around and see somebody trying to do the same thing. That's that that's how they do it.

SPEAKER_07

You gotta learn it from somebody. That's how they do it. But Charlotte is thriving for like some shit where it hones in to the lyricists, right? Like, cause you know, when we was coming up EO Dove in training camp, it was like, like you said, like incredible artists. But that was that era of time. It's not that era of time now. So it was like all the lyricists, like Lucid Dap and everybody, like, yo, swish, yeah, swish, swish. There's nothing for them, right? To be like, yo, I want to go to some shit where I know it's nothing but lyricists in there. I think Charlie needs to create something like that.

SPEAKER_15

Well, you know what's funny? I was just telling Lucy this too. When we went to the uh shout out to uh the person who uh does the flow events um at the common market, um was also kind of like the same kind of uh vibe that we do. Like what you're talking about, like people lyricists and stuff like that. When I went there, I saw all these faces that never showed up to any of my events.

SPEAKER_06

And I'm like, Where the fuck y'all been at?

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, I'm like, damn, where where y'all in? Is Charlot is I I'm thinking I'm like, is Charlotte that big or am I just not doing enough promoting? Um Yeah, Charlotte real, especially in the hip hop community. Yeah. So but but yeah, I'm like, I'm like, man, like if I could, if I could like get with uh the person that does that and like we could collab and try to combine somehow uh to make a bigger, to make a bigger show to join uh to combine our fan bases. Like I think, I think to what you're saying, I think we could really do something special out here.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Charlie needs it, bro. They need it. Because I you know I be I still get my ear to the streets and they they need it, they vying for it, they want it. It's just that nobody has is presented a platform for it.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_20

I do not be outside. But anyways, what I want to address is that the club scene is trash. The club scene is trash very much. I would know, right? I would. Why are drinks damn near a bill? Why is a table or a section damn near rent? Why are females? I don't know if y'all seen that video on Charlotte page. Why are females getting a eight, they pussy eight?

But I can go on and on on why the club scene is trash. You know. Staying at home is the best option. Unless you go out, you know, to vibe out. Like Aaron Brew. Shout out to Aaron Brew. Because it's always a vibe there. It's always a vibe.

SPEAKER_07

That's not what I heard.

SPEAKER_20

SPEAKER_05

She's always like. Hell no. Keep people out your house. Unless they're your people. And even your people have them over there once in a while. You know what I'm saying? Y'all don't know about all that.

SPEAKER_20

I've been testing out the little scene here. And I can say for like 70% of the places that I've been, it's like Destiny says. Like, you spend$15 on one drink, but then it's gratuity,$7. So you're spending about$27 for one little ass drink. And now you and all your friends want to get drunk. So now y'all spending$150. Y'all not doing this. But me and my niggas. Even still, when you're in the club, you're just like, I'm thinking about having that drink in your hand. I'll go to the liquor store before, and I still have to do that.

SPEAKER_05

That's what I'm saying. Go to the I'm going to the liquor store before getting lit. I'm taking my shrooms, smoking my zy. When I come to the club, y'all gonna think I had 10 shots in that motherfucker. I'm promising. I'm gonna be charged up the whole night.

SPEAKER_20

No one dances. Like literally. No one dances. Like, get up, move a little ass.

SPEAKER_05

What y'all want what y'all want people to do? Break dance? What y'all want people to do?

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, start dancing out there. Twerking? You know what I'm saying? You can twerk too, because twerking is not just, you know, sexual shit.

SPEAKER_07

If you ain't getting no sections, it's over.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's where that's where it's lit at. It's lit in the sections. It's over for meetings. They dancing like a motherfucker in the sections.

SPEAKER_07

Let's just say this about that. There was this girl, she made a long ass post, and she was like, you know what, fucked up the um obscene niggas. Like niggas wanna be the bitches now. They want to buy the bottles, want to stand up in the sections. That is true.

SPEAKER_05

That's true. That is true. What the fuck? I'm coming to the club to buy you drinks for. I can't enjoy myself in my section no more.

SPEAKER_20

I mean not a club, a bottle. And then they have the bitches that they shut. And it just nigga can't even. Yeah, so nigga, even though. I be with real niggas. I don't know who the fuck y'all be with.

SPEAKER_15

I be saying, I be seeing them doing like people at the club do like the solo dances, like all the TikTok solo dances by themselves. Oh, TikTok clubs. Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_20

I see somebody doing a club like this. I'm like, yeah, just stay home.

SPEAKER_06

Just stay home, guys. Just stay home. Stay the fuck home.

Draft Registration And Global Fear

SPEAKER_20

Because what the fuck? Alright. So let's dive into what I really want to break down.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, let's do it.

SPEAKER_20

Get out, Switch, bro. Get out. Alright, so starting in December 2026, a large algebra, algebra men, ages, ages. Algebra. Algebra.

SPEAKER_18

Algible. Eligible.

SPEAKER_09

Eligible. I thought she was talking about a type of mal. Eligible?

unknown

I don't know if she's saying mal.

SPEAKER_07

Every week. Bro, okay, wait, wait. And she is not on purpose.

SPEAKER_20

She does it because she talks in cursive.

SPEAKER_07

I'm gonna hang out.

SPEAKER_20

Listen, what did he do? Eligible? He left. He can't fix the laugh. Alright. Anyways. Anyways. Now she laughed. Go ahead, try it over. I'm not trying it over. Eligible. Men ages 18 to 25 are automatically. Automatically, y'all. Yeah. Being registered for the draft. So it basically ties into a selective service system. This time it's automatic though. It's not you just get to go up there and register. It's automatic. No, they used to do that back in the day. It was required, but now it's automatic. Don't they mean the same thing? No, like yours automatic. You don't got no choice. You in that bitch.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

But I mean that bitch. If you get picked, it's gonna start December 2026. December 2026. December 2026. But look, listen, y'all, being registered. You're good to be a hunk. I know this. 31. 31. 31.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

But being registered does not mean you're gonna get job tomorrow. Y'all. So don't think you're gonna be, you know, fighting for this country right away. It's only in case if it's a something major that happens. But dealing with Trump with Trump in office is something gonna happen. Because that nigga, that nigga be doing shit. We're gonna get to that a little later. So then when that happens, they're able to use that law. Like they're putting that into place already, which is very, very sad for all my friends that got something to do. But I'm gonna say, draft all the dabbies. They gotta go. Sign them niggas up. Sign them niggas out. Sign y'all niggas up.

SPEAKER_04

What the fuck? And draft a bit of baby barbers while you at it. What the fuck? Oh the damies. What are we talking about? What are we talking about right now?

SPEAKER_20

I've always thought that like people that are in jail for like, I don't know, maybe sexual crimes or crimes against children. Yeah, send them out. Send them. Well, nah, they might turn against us.

SPEAKER_05

You can't trust them.

SPEAKER_20

Nobody's safe. You can't trust them, they might turn against us. So every person in prison is more money for them, so they're not gonna release anybody for any other reason.

SPEAKER_15

What about what about the Y'ans with the switches? They ain't gonna ask you.

SPEAKER_20

No, no, no, we need them.

SPEAKER_05

They're gonna go out there and kill each other.

SPEAKER_18

They gotta keep us safe.

SPEAKER_05

They're gonna go out there and kill each other.

SPEAKER_18

They gotta keep us safe over here. We need the Y'ans to stay in the US. Yeah, them deadbeats.

SPEAKER_07

No, but literally them are really signing up to potentially die.

SPEAKER_20

But they do it in other countries. That's why I said sign their ass beats up. Americans are just privileged. At the end of the day, they've been doing this in Thailand for years.

SPEAKER_21

And it ain't weird.

SPEAKER_20

And it's the thing, like who is going to fight? If nobody wants to join the military, who the hell is gonna fight?

SPEAKER_05

At the end of the day, I just feel like it's it's so much new technology these days. Like, the people that's getting drafted don't know shit about it. They're gonna get wiped. It's so much technology, new technology. You seen the China coming out with a mosquito killer and kill like 200 mosquitoes in 20 seconds or something.

SPEAKER_20

I need that. Yeah, I see.

SPEAKER_05

They always in front of the world. How the fuck are we going to war with shit like that? I'm still getting bit up.

SPEAKER_07

Capabilities.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Like no, but you had mentioned Thailand. Like, who is Thailand going to war with? It seemed like America always got our noses in other country business.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, well, Iran. Did y'all not know that Iron was about to get washed out a couple days ago? No, I don't watch that. Um, mind our business, baby. But I feel like Thailand, if we lived in Thailand, we would know who Thailand was fighting against.

SPEAKER_07

But considering that I'm not in that country. I mean, you will see. It will be on C and then or something. It will be television. I don't think so.

SPEAKER_20

I don't think so. Because motherfuckers that go on to Thailand on their birthdays and shit.

SPEAKER_07

Or something like that. You think it would not be on any telephone station? Oh, you gotta know.

SPEAKER_20

Y'all have to understand that the media is put in place to, I don't want to get into that, but like program people, they only show you what they want you to see. That's true. They're not going to show you everything, and they're damn sure not gonna show you something that does not benefit us as a country.

SPEAKER_07

That's true.

SPEAKER_20

So keeping that in mind, we don't know shit about what's going on on the other side of the world.

SPEAKER_07

Well, you forget, you fail to mention one thing social media is gonna be out there.

SPEAKER_20

They they control that as well, though. Um Asia says, she said it was automatic back in the day for um boys to go to war. And she said, don't give them any reason. I mean, no, don't don't give them no weapon, unalive them. I don't know what she was talking about. She's talking about the sexual predators, I'm sure. Oh, um and then she said, we are punks as the U.S. She said they take honor in it. That us as the US take honor in it.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, the US doesn't want to fight for their country.

SPEAKER_20

They rather sit at home and play for their country.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, we ain't trying to fight for this.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, literally. No shade, y'all. Hey, but it's the truth. We're we're spoiled. I just feel like everybody wants to come here because they're like, we want to go play with our cousins that have all the shit. We don't have anything. And then when they get over here, they're like, okay, this ain't all as cracked up to be. Just for our answer.

SPEAKER_05

I literally heard an immigrant say that shit too.

Cost Of Living And Warehouse Rage

SPEAKER_20

All right, let's talk about these pay rates at these shops. Trash.

SPEAKER_16

Out here.

SPEAKER_20

Especially out here. Let me get to a special. Don't move from here. Let me get to Charlotte Home. Definitely don't. Oh, I'm sorry, because Connecticut up here. I came down. I was like, yeah, you don't want to have sexuality. God damn it. But you get paid$15 an hour. Cost of my deal. But if y'all haven't seen on a social media already about this California man, Shamel Abdul Kareem. Jabbar.

SPEAKER_03

Shameel. Just say it. Just say it. Just say Jabbar.

SPEAKER_20

That's not his name. Don't leave that off. That's not his name. It's Shamel Abdul Kareem. That's his name. He's 29 years old. And he was arrested by the police for holding a lighter in a video starting a fire in the warehouse of the job he worked at because it's gone. On April 7th, midnight. And the cause of him allegedly starting the fire was because, like he said in the video, they should have paid us enough to fucking live.

SPEAKER_05

Hey man, somebody gotta do it. Free that man.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. Free that nigga. Free that nigga, man. Why you recording yourself doing that shit? It's some warehouse, and he was just like, he had the lighter in a video, and he was lighting up the Scott tissue paper. Like, why would you do that? Scott is the best. He should've burnt that motherfucker down. You should have burnt that. And then he goes and says, They should have paid us enough for fucking to fucking live.

SPEAKER_07

That's a fact. They didn't say how much he was getting paid today.

SPEAKER_20

They didn't say how much he was getting paid, but I'm pretty sure it was like about like six, ten.

SPEAKER_05

He sounds like a philanthropist to me.

SPEAKER_20

California.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah, yeah, nah, he's tweaking.

SPEAKER_03

He's like, I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie.

SPEAKER_07

But the cost of living in Cali usually get better paying jobs. Like in Elder. Like if you go high-paying jobs, but the high-paying job still doesn't equate to the city.

SPEAKER_20

Y'all are talking about paychecks versus the cost of living. The cost of living is up here in California. It doesn't fucking matter how much you get paid for. Just like here.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_20

Everything's going up over here. But we're all down there.

SPEAKER_05

I don't I don't work like eight warehouse jobs. Like it get like that in there. Like, you'll really be thinking of some crazy shit like that. I swear to God. I'd be at work thinking of ways to make a million dollars every day.

SPEAKER_20

I don't blame him. Do your shit, but why are you recording it? Like he was like, he wants everybody to be one shit. Brent is going up, food prices going up, gas prices going a goddamn everything going down to it.

SPEAKER_05

But somebody gotta do it, bro. Somebody gotta take the initiative because everybody be thinking about it, but then it's gonna be that one person that be like, just took over. I'm gonna sacrifice myself for y'all.

SPEAKER_20

But he ruined his life, though. Because now you're in prison. But then he living rent free, so you know, shout out to him.

SPEAKER_05

He living rent free. You're going to heaven. You're going to heaven.

SPEAKER_20

I mean, that's probably what he wanted. He probably wanted to live rent free.

SPEAKER_05

What? You're going to heaven, nigga. You live in rent free in prison. This nigga's a philanthropist. He's a philanthropist.

SPEAKER_07

I know there's some people who enjoy going to jail. That's that's a thing. Yeah, that shit is crazy. If you want to live rent free in jail, that's where you want to go, then kudos to you, buddy.

SPEAKER_20

Love that for you guys.

SPEAKER_07

Kudos to you, buddy.

SPEAKER_20

SPEAKER_07

He said he don't he shouldn't be there for what he's in there for. Oh. Yeah, because he said it was like over. Yeah, for being a freaky nigga. He should they he say he shouldn't be there.

SPEAKER_18

SPEAKER_07

You mad? Hello, one more time. Huh? No, I'm I'm listening. I'm on my road to sobriety.

SPEAKER_18

It must have been a pit stop on the way to your road.

Snitching Versus Being A Victim

SPEAKER_07

Nope. I mean, I got contact from this one over here. But it's okay. Hey, what's up, what's up? Alright, so what you do? You mentioned uh Pooh Shicey Gucci, so this one is in reference to that situation. Because um, you know what? I'm not even going to get into the road. Everybody knows the situation by Pooh Shysti and Gucci, right? Yeah. Pooh Shisey went over there, did what it do. So it seems like there is a um a miscomprehension on the word snitch and being a victim, right? So I made a post. I made a post, right? Yeah. Um, and I put it, I was like, yo, people need to understand the difference between a snitch and being a victim. I know I understand street shit street niggas, they just can't get that out their head. They hear a snitch, telling somebody, whatever the case may be, is they just label it one word, snitch. But my thing is, right, and I need a mic. Give the mic, we're gonna go around, right? No, you can't do it. Like, say for instance scenario, if now the difference between, let's let's first break down the difference between a snitch and just like telling. Right? So a snitch is like say if if nothing involved you and you went and you told on something that didn't involve you, and you told on somebody, that is a snitch.

SPEAKER_20

Okay, right?

SPEAKER_07

Is that a snitch? That's a snitch. Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_20

Wait, wait, say it again, say it again.

SPEAKER_07

If something doesn't involve you and you went and told on somebody else that somebody did something, say if seven went over there, it didn't involve you. Say if seven went over there and slapped um K Digital. Uh-huh. And you go, oh, this nigga seven went over there and slapped K. That's snitching. You snitching. Nothing to do with you. Mind your business, go away. Now, say if seven came over there and he slapped me. Yeah. And I felt some type of way and he causing bodily harm. I'm telling. Like, yo, this nigga came, he he hit me, took my money, da-da-da-da-da. Now it's different, now hold on. It's different levels to it.

SPEAKER_16

Like, say if you're not sure if say, hold on, let's say. Let it finish. Let it finish. Let it finish.

SPEAKER_07

Now, say if, like, you, I took it into an account, say he hit me, I took into my own account, and I went and hit the nigga back, right? No police involved, okay, you you you handle that. But in the instance where you get police involved and you got to make a statement, you gotta make an accusation. Well, yeah, he he caused bodily harm, he tried to harm me, so you are you telling. You this is a difference there. Now, that's the difference. That's the distinct difference. So I wanna go around, right, and kind of like feel the temperature on like if if how do you feel about that? How do you feel about snitching or telling? Do you label snitching as the same thing across the board, or is it a difference if you tell if somebody if you're a victim of something? I'm gonna go around the room.

SPEAKER_20

Wait, real quick, real quick. Because I I feel like snitching is when you're like a part of a crime and then you go and tell after y'all get in trouble. I don't think it has to be.

SPEAKER_07

Like, say if you win, like again, like say if y'all all robbed a bank. Right? Say we all robbed a bank. Yes, yes, and I told I was a part of robbing a bank, that's snitching. Okay, yeah. Okay. That's snitching. Okay. But if I saw y'all niggas robbing the bank, uh-huh, right? Yeah, that I mean that's snitching too. So it's different than stuff. I'm confused. If y'all, but say confused, yeah. That's what I'm saying, it's level. Say if they robbed the bank, right? If it's your bank that they robbed a middle. No, it's not to be my bank. Say y'all robbed the bank and y'all came to my crib, like, nigga, I'm gonna fucking kill you if you do. Nigga, I'm telling. Like, I ain't got nothing to do with that.

SPEAKER_20

Try to kill me. No, I see what he's saying though. Like, if they came to you and robbed you, I don't either. If somebody, I'm gonna tell you what my sister said in a second. But if somebody came to you, put a gun to your head, robbed you, took all your shit, do you consider it snitching if you went to the police or are you a victim? I'm snitching.

SPEAKER_05

You're snitching. Okay, but my sister said, You're a street nigga. If you per if you promote your if you promote it your whole life and your whole rap career, snitching is bad. You do not snitch. You're not even not even getting it back in blood. I'm saying, you don't even have to get it back in blood. Like, you could you can charge it to the game at your level that you're at right now. Like, you a grown man, you done did it, you done lived your life, you don't went to jail. Charge that shit to the game. You don't charge it. But look at go ahead, go ahead. My bad, Switch. Yeah, now you good. But I'm saying, like, Gucci has promoted Gucci was one, he's one of the last niggas, besides Boosie, or I don't even know who else at this point, that we looked at as he'll he'll never snitch, or he's not, he's not a red-ass nigga.

SPEAKER_07

He didn't snitch though.

SPEAKER_05

He didn't, he didn't snitch. It's not confirmed, but Gucci KO and then told him that. The detective got on the stand and and pled the and and uh put their right hand in the Bible and said Gucci gave them the statement that Pooh Shistley robbed him. Like got on the stand today. That's why they got their bond denied and all of that. So that's snitching for Gucci. If you a civilian though, if you because he pro he. Let's go around the room. I'm gonna get I'm gonna listen to his recent music. He's still rapping about that shit.

SPEAKER_07

You're gonna get a last seven. You get a last one. That's what he promotes. I'm gonna go around the room.

SPEAKER_20

My sister said a victim is not in the life or not or doesn't claim to be. Gucci was right in his decision, but he snitched. He was supposed to get it back in blood from how he talks. He's a clone anyway. That just compressed. He is a clone. He's a mad kids and shit. He's a clone.

SPEAKER_07

Get it back in blood is is uh he's gonna be like, You're not supposed to do it.

SPEAKER_16

You gotta have your goals, dude.

SPEAKER_07

I'm gonna hear, let's let's get the crowd. You don't have to get it back. You got a mic.

SPEAKER_15

All right, so are you gonna go for the face? Yeah, yeah. I agree with the person that was just uh that made the comment. But I also think there's levels like, you know, I mean, if you think about like uh you remember when uh Cameron was on uh what was that, the 60 minutes? Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh oh.

SPEAKER_20

Remember when uh I'm snitching, I'm snitching. Remember, I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_15

When uh Cameron was on, I think it was 60 minutes, and he and they asked him, like, would you snitch on if uh a serial killer live right next door to you? And he was like, I ain't snitching on nobody. And I'm like, at that point, it's like yo, that's kind of goofy to me.

SPEAKER_09

Like, come on, like serial killer, hey, yeah, I'm gonna get them kids. Yeah, get them, get them the fuck out of here.

SPEAKER_04

He said, I might he said I might do something to her, but I won't tell her though.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I'm not even realistic. It could be a form of serial killer. Now we're talking about a current serial killer or somebody that was with the jail because and he came out miraculously.

SPEAKER_15

I guess a current, I think, I think they were talking about like current. Yeah, I guess. I think I think at that point then you gotta you gotta do something. Like, you live right next door. But but like if you're if you're about that life, like if you live in that life and you got beef with somebody and they rob you, like, yeah, you don't snitch on them because like you you you you had that coming, you know what I'm saying? And you're supposed to do it however you been talking like you was gonna do it, you know. So if you go snitch on uh to cause report that to the police after they done did something to you, you know, after you were talking all that shit, then yeah. You know what I mean? I I I consider that snitching.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_20

I'm a snitch. We know that. We know that. If it's you know that's it, ain't gonna be me. I just said if we all rob the bank, if I love you. If I love you, no, I ain't snitching if we all rob the bank. So it c when it comes to my kids, I don't give a fuck. Yeah. I don't give a fuck. I had a situation with my daughter. She um, yeah, I know I have a 17-year-old, but long story short, a boy tried to get rowdy with her or whatever, and like tried to like brandish a gun on um live. You I went across the street first because he was supposed to be in the area. I was gonna run that motherfucker over and then call the police. But at that point, it was like I had to call the police because this is my daughter's safety. So at the end of the day, it might have been snitching, but no, he was young as fuck. He shouldn't have been.

SPEAKER_07

But how was that snitching? That's what I'm trying to say. You're civilians.

SPEAKER_20

There are levels to it because I guess it could be because she was like, even when I go to school, they're gonna be like, oh, you were snitching. I said, Well, how do you feel about it? At the end of the day, I lost my brother to gun violence. We don't tolerate that shit. Yes, I'm gonna run your ass over fast, but you can't be doing that. Come to find out his dad was a cop. So that's another level to the world. Like, they be getting covered, girl. They be getting covered. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

The crowd, what's their yeah, what's their reaction? You got the mic over there. Oh, CEO said I'm talking too much. No, no. We try to get we get away from you know, sometimes.

SPEAKER_18

I tried to say it. No, I didn't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

No, I didn't. I would have just told you plain and simple, like, you know, no audience. Okay, audience. Nope.

SPEAKER_00

I think lifestyle determines a lot. You know what I'm saying? Like, before you even start to get into like selective categories of like, you know, all types of different anecdotes about, you know what I'm saying, how the the story like this or the story like that, like, first off, I think we need to focus on the differentiate between who got what lifestyle. Cause a dude who's in a suit with a briefcase, something happened, of course he's gonna snitch on some shit. You know what I'm saying? He's gonna be the good Samaritan. But you know what I'm saying, the other niggas sitting on a block, you know what I mean, on a crate, waiting for the sale, it's gonna be like, I ain't see nothing. So it's really about like lifestyle differentiating on who takes part in what or who feels like uh, you know what I'm saying, their character would give them, would encourage them to speak out, you know what I'm saying? So I think I think that's just the basis of it, you know what I'm saying, as far as that goes.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, lifestyle is is definitely important. It's definitely important. Who else?

SPEAKER_10

I agree with him. And I like like my man said, if you're a civilian, then it don't really apply to you. If you're in that type of lifestyle. You know what you're signing up for if you're in that lifestyle.

SPEAKER_07

And that's what it is, you know. Now, before somebody else goes, like, like if you look at the 6ix9ine situation, right now, obviously he was you know in engulfed in that lifestyle with the gang members and shit. But these niggas disrespect, they fucked his baby moms, they kidnapped him, beat his ass up. Like the gang, the whole thing. 730. Not 730. That was his name, though. That was his name, forgot the name of the game.

SPEAKER_20

At least three people.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, whatever his name. But they really violated son.

SPEAKER_20

At least three people.

SPEAKER_07

And he went and and he told. And everybody like say he snitched, he snitched, she snitched. But what is he supposed to do in that situation?

SPEAKER_18

And it was plotting to kill him. It was plotting to kill him, too. Like, I was.

SPEAKER_07

What's he gonna do in that situation? Who else? Who else is gonna go? Nobody else?

unknown

Sorry.

SPEAKER_19

I'll I'll chime in real quick.

SPEAKER_07

What's your name?

SPEAKER_19

Um, my name is Roxy.

SPEAKER_07

Roxy.

SPEAKER_19

Um, yeah, so I don't know. This is this this conversation is a little bit triggering for me because I'm not a street person by any means. I'm a professional, I'm a mother, um, and I'm I'm older than probably most of y'all in the room. Um, so I look at it as I always want to protect my business, protect my image, protect my reputation, and go home to my children every night. Um, and I'm from a major city. So living down here near Charlotte, it's a small town.

SPEAKER_06

Which major city are you from?

SPEAKER_19

Which major city you from? I'm from Philly. Philly, okay. Where's city born and raised? Um so you know, I I I I expected to, you know, live in a, you know, a nice rural, suburban type of environment. And you come down here and you find out that that's not always the case. So it's like, like I said, making it back home to my priorities is my priority. But it's like, what do you do as a mother in a professional when some shorty's popping off with you or some dude is popping off with you? You know what I mean? Like at what point do we turn the other cheek or get it back in blood, or like what are we supposed to do? You know what I mean? And I said that's triggering because I've been through several traumatic events down here in the Charlotte area. Like, I could write a book. I really feel like I need to because I've been through things down here that you would never expect to go through. You know what I mean? So I don't know. I I know personally for me, if I ain't had them children to live for, and I start it even comes down to being messy online. Like, I wanted to, I've been through something so crazy, y'all. I was gonna offer to do somebody's hair free for a year just to just for somebody to send me a video. I was gonna make a Facebook post, and I talked to my mentor, my confidant. He told me not to do it. He told me it would have been messy, it would have been, you know, lowering myself to these people's standards. I was gonna make a Facebook post, like, yo, send me that video of such and such, and I'll do your hair free for a year. No questions asked.

SPEAKER_20

They would have did it. They would have done it. Come on, a year. What do you want?

SPEAKER_19

So now I'm at a point where it's like, okay, take the civilian level-headed route. Or do I want to get it back in blood?

SPEAKER_17

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_19

Or, you know what I mean? And it's it's it's really a tough situation. It's not something to be taken lightly, but I don't know. I just felt like we overall need to do better as a community. Like um, Woody said, he said, we continue to stay trapped in these. Did anybody see that video?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I see it, I see it.

SPEAKER_19

That was very profound what he said.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you're talking some real shit. He was talking some real shit.

SPEAKER_19

Right. So I feel like we need to, you know, ponder and meditate on them type of things a little bit more so we can kind of prevent this craziness from happening, like, you know, at the end of the day. But not to get too deep, I'm gonna pass the mic, y'all. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

No, that's that's interesting, because I mean it goes to what Luca was saying, like lifestyle. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, rural area, you're not uh you're not accustomed to the street life and shit like that. So it's a certain code you're not used to that other people are used to, you know.

SPEAKER_06

So yeah.

SPEAKER_19

And that's why down here people don't really know what street life is. They got streets down here, they got roads.

SPEAKER_03

It gets tricky down here though.

SPEAKER_20

I play the hood a little bit, and y'all don't really know, you know, I feel like I definitely agree with you, but in a sense where at the same time, though, you have to think that these young boys are coming up, and everyone here is not has not been born here. People are moving here. So that mentality is coming from a different places. There might be some young boys that's out here really moving and shaking, but from Philly. It might be some people out here that's doing what they gotta do from New York. But yes, they're here now. But I really will say the younger generation does not value life, and it does not matter where you're from. These younger YNs with the switches and da-da-da-da. I respect hood mentality. Like, don't get me wrong, but if you got a beef with somebody, get that person. Why figure it out where you're gonna get them? You just shooting into the crowd and doing all kinds of crazy shit. You have value, you don't value life. Like, I don't know. I just I have been raised by a different street code, so it's just like, I don't know. It definitely gets get sticky, like he said. It can't get sticky anywhere because now they have the tools and big ass guns for no reason.

SPEAKER_05

Bottom line, Gucci snitching, if he did, is like T D Jake saying he's an atheist. I'm telling you, it's the same equivalence. I'm not judging him, because you feel me. Like, you feel me? You can't say nothing until you've been in the situation. I'm just saying to the masses what it's gonna look like. Because niggas looked at him like, oh, he he one of the street niggas that made it out. He went through what he went through, went to jail, got black ball from the game, came back, he came out on top. You know what I'm saying? And niggas thought he was gonna make it out with a just a clear name. This is this.

SPEAKER_07

The thing, and when I I'll end it off like this, right? The thing I would say, right? When you look at Gucci, that was Gucci then, this is Gucci now, right? So it's like he's in a whole nother uh tax bracket, he's in a whole nother uh frame of mind. He's married, kids, whatever the case may be. That's uh, you know, the way that pool went about it, it was like, what what do you think Gucci could do? He his bodyguard was, I think, a retired cop or somebody in the law enforcement. So he that's the guy that he pays to protect him. So of course he's gonna go and say something, and he's probably gonna be like, yo, Gucci, yada yada, yada. So it's like, if if if it wasn't involving no police, obviously I'm pretty sure it would have been handled a different way. But because that uh the blue was involved and his security guard was a blue, it's like, yo, and he got all these assets and he has to protect. Why would you even think about going backwards to the old Gucci? So that's what I'm just saying. Like, yo, I what what do you want the man to do? So I'm sorry, Seven. You wanted, I know you wanted to say something. You want to say something right quick? You I ain't wanna I ain't wanna dis discredit what you want to give give Seven the mic. Give Seven the Mike.

SPEAKER_18

We don't have to. He do blend in with the background.

SPEAKER_17

No shade. Nah, okay. It's kind of like a little bit of what you said, you get what I'm saying, but like the real talk is if you're not from the streets, you shouldn't even be using the terminology snitch.

SPEAKER_06

Absolutely, I agree.

SPEAKER_17

One million percent. Snitching is when a street person does anything to incriminate anybody else. Period. You get what I'm saying? But at this point, as soon as you start rapping, you not street to me no more. So we looking at it wrong. You feel me? He trying, he's been trying to get out the streets. You get what I'm saying? And just because we think he this gangster, like he's not the biggest boogeyman in Atlanta. We think that's something that it ain't, it really ain't. You feel me? So how would all y'all feel? Cause I'm a real street nigga and I run this building. No, I'm letting y'all know. How would y'all feel? How would y'all feel? And I know all the killers. Oh. And they be here rapping. How about that?

SPEAKER_16

They do. How about that?

SPEAKER_17

So how would y'all feel if they just came in here and popped one of y'all and I was like, nah, I ain't saying nothing because I'm a street nigga. You had to stand up. I have 15 enemies after that. I respect them. They could have just robbed y'all. So what what it don't make sense? You get what I'm saying? Like, we need to stop. Like, street people need to keep that on the low, and and everybody that's not street is telling. You get what I'm saying? It's telling. They came in there, they didn't harm the little white boy. You fucking up the business. You get what I'm saying? Like, it's not, like, now we talking stupid. Like, he needs to stand on something because that's what he rap about. Nigga, I'm finna keep rapping about that. I don't care if I'm not doing that. That's what we supposed to do. It's a business. You feel me? But we we holding people to something like, think about that. If they came in here and smacked one of y'all right now, one of y'all dead. I'm just saying, like, for real. This is a real problem. I'm just saying, like, like a lot, because a lot of y'all, a lot of y'all been subject. A lot of y'all. I'm saying, keeping it real.

SPEAKER_03

Keeping it real.

SPEAKER_17

Y'all the dealers and nigga need to stop talking about snitching. Stop saying snitch. Y'all hate that word. Y'all telling me. But then again, over my world, it's snitching.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But again, that's what we talk about. He's snitching to me because even though fuck the rap and shit, he out here making videos. If you look at every video or any interview, Gucci is talking like that. He is against that shit. Like he's he's he's not saying, oh, I'm out here killing shit, da da da da. He's saying I stand on principles. I would never do this. I'm I'm against this. So that's why I say he's snitching. That's that's that's why I say he because that's that's his moral still.

SPEAKER_17

That man ain't did nothing gangster in over 15 years. I I say he didn't like tell, if he tell, he was told. That's what he supposed to do. That's why. It's what he supposed to do. But what he supposed to do first is never be in that position. But it's just how it works. When you get there, some nigga didn't never didn't got in that position. But once you get there, that's what I'm that's why I said the what if like that. Cause what if? Like I hope to God that shit never happened. But like some niggas that is you get there, nigga, you nigga, you supposed to tell nigga who the fuck on, nigga, what you talking about.

SPEAKER_05

This is the other thing too. Like motherfuckers saying shisty stupid and all that woo whoop, but I feel like he wouldn't have went that hard if Gucci wasn't doing some fuck shit too. He had to be doing some type of the fuck shit I did wasn't street.

SPEAKER_17

It might have been though. Money and jury, bro. Yeah, money doing people's shit. They ain't no street. We ain't rob nobody together. You get what I'm saying? Like, bro, I just gave you a million dollars up front. They ain't giving nobody money up front like that. Stop talking like I'm not Gucci Man. Like, street niggas, Tina. But I'm finna keep scratching that. I'm gonna let y'all let y'all know. No, you good, sir.

SPEAKER_07

Nah, but in conclusion, but in conclusion, it's like, you know, that and you see how the conversation goes about just one particular word. Like, because everybody got different um views on what that word means.

SPEAKER_20

I definitely think these clips are about to go viral. Oh, yeah. Everybody gonna be like, snitching this bitch, no?

SPEAKER_05

You should have been in the camera. You should have hoped in the camera.

SPEAKER_07

But that wasn't my what would you do? That was like just an open dialogue segment about snitching. Okay. It definitely gets tricky.

SPEAKER_16

You can make something deserve it.

SPEAKER_20

Now let's please get triggered. Get triggered. I hope, I hope all y'all get triggered. Niggas, bitches, nigga bitches. Goddamn. Hold on, hold on. Chill on the bitches word. I got a lot to you, you, you, who gonna check me? Nah, none of you. Ain't no way.

SPEAKER_07

Ain't no way.

Dating As A Transaction

SPEAKER_20

Females. What's up, y'all? No. Bitches, hoes, slut, anybody. If it ain't you, don't worry about it. Moving on. All right. If you don't know, my name is Lex Rated. And I'm not just on this podcast to talk shit, even though I've gotten on everybody's ass tonight. I do this because they're easy targets. But I have I have two degrees in psychology, so I I speak on stuff that I'm interested in. I look for patterns, behaviors, and what people are doing, not just saying. Okay. So tonight I want to get into something that's been sitting heavy on my heart. In my mind, dating. Not just the cute version, the real version. Okay. I keep hearing people say they want love, they want something real, they want connection. But if we're being honest, a lot of people are moving like they're negotiating a business deal. Okay? Like, what am I getting out of this? What are you bringing to this metaphorical table? And what is the return investment? Okay? And I'm not even saying that wanting something is wrong when you try to get into dating or a relationship. That's normal. But we all have expectations, unrealistic expectations. And somewhere along the line, dating stopped being about connection and it started being about the calculation of funds. But let's talk about it. You go on a date, and instead of enjoying the moment, people are already keeping score. Who paid, who texts first, who did more, who owes who, and it turns into the quiet transaction that nobody is actually saying aloud. And that's where it starts to get messy because nobody wants to admit that they actually, or what they actually expect. People will sit there and act like they're just going with the flow. But in their head, they're already deciding what you should be doing. I'm gonna keep it real with y'all. A female will know in the first five seconds of meeting a man, if she is going to smash that man, it don't take dinner, lunch, breakfast, it don't take uh uh nothing.

SPEAKER_18

It don't take shit. We be knowing.

SPEAKER_20

We be knowing all the extra shit is just extra shit. So now you got two people both expecting something, but nothing is being clear, nothing's being put on the table. And then when those expectations get met, suddenly somebody feels played or don't get met, somebody feels played. If you don't get what you want out of the situation, you feel like you got paid, played, or you got the short end of the stick. And it's on both sides. It's not just women, and it's not just men. Everybody goes through the same shit. Now, let's be real for a second. I'm gonna keep it balanced because like I said, both sides do this. Some women expect provision, attention, gifts, uh consistency, but they're not always offering the same level of energy, peace, or effort in return. I don't know no bitch that offer consistency. I said it, I don't know no bitch. And on the flip side, some men expect access, time, emotional support, even physical intimacy without offering stability, commitment, or respect. They want to know what you're doing and where you're going and who you with. They putting cameras in your house. They want to put it in. They doing it, new friend. They doing it. They're doing it. Just because y'all not doing it, and it's only about six of y'all in here, don't mean somebody out there is not doing it. We got everybody expecting premium treatment while giving the bare minimum. And then they're wondering why nothing lasts. And what's really interesting to me is how people present themselves versus what they actually want. Remember last week when I was like, or was it the week before, when I was like, you are who you attract, or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you can't market yourself in one way and then be mad when people respond to what you showed them. For example, you can't be out here going to the club every week. Hold on now. I don't know to be at the club. I don't know. I wasn't talking about the club. If I'm at the club, my niggas at the club with me. I wasn't talking about you. You can't be at the club every week with your shorts up your ass, and then expecting a man to want to wife you within the first year of meeting you. And on the opposite side, as a man, you can't be going around here spending your money on shoes, clothes, and and all type of this, that, and the third, and expecting a woman not to think that you're going to give her some money because you're wasting it on shit. Oh, why not give it a shit? It's the same shit on both sides. You gotta be honest with yourself first before anybody can take you serious. So if you leave with looks, attention, status, money, or sex appeal, people are going to respond with that. That's human behavior. It's not even personal, it's realistically psychology. It's how we act. So when people get upset when they feel objectified or or used or or misunderstood, and it's like, well, what are you leading with in the first place? What did you come to this conversation with in the first place? What did you do to attract this person in the first place? Something that I hear a lot is, well, you liked it when you met me. You were into it when you met me. Like there's no type of evolution or or change or or or just fucking level up after you meet a person. Like just because they like how you were at the beginning, you're supposed to stay that way forever, that's not realistic. And think about uh where the girl disconnect is happening. People want certain outcomes, but they don't want to take accountability for how they're showing up in the process.

SPEAKER_18

A friend of mine said once women want a drug dealer that's friendly and emotional. Who are they?

SPEAKER_20

Also, also a businessman and a rapper that that spoils her and and and and takes her places, but also don't talk to other women, but's cute, and they want everything from a man, but don't want what comes with everything with that man. And when you get in this cycle, everybody feels like they're a victim. Men feel used, women feel used, and nobody trusts each other. And dating starts to feel exhausting instead of exciting. So now instead of building something real, people are just protecting themselves. They're guarded, they're calculated. Moving like it's about to be like who gets played or which one's gonna get played at the end of this situation. So for me, the crazy part is that the mindset exactly what is with exactly what keeps people from actually connecting with each other. Because you can't build something genuine if everything you're doing is based on fear and transaction, and I'm not saying like expectations are bad, like you can't have a type or or um a level or boundaries or anything like that, but you should have standards at some point, you should know what you want, but also be honest with what you're offering on the opposite side. Because at the end of the day, dating isn't broken because people want things, it's broken because nobody is being real about what they want and what they're willing to give in return. And until people start having those honest conversations with each other, not just with their friends behind the other person's back or on social media or in their private Snapchat story, but with themselves as well, we're gonna keep seeing the same patterns over and over again. So before your next situation, your next date, your next talking stage, ask yourself one question Am I here to connect or am I here to calculate? Because how you answer that is going to determine everything that comes after. And that's all I'm saying. I'm not here to judge y'all. I'm just here to make you think a little bit deeper about how you're moving and what um you're really looking for and what reality is essentially around you. So you already know I'm the biggest motherfucking Aquarius. That's okay. Lex rated, and if I hit a nerve, that means something needs to be worked on. And y'all need to take this shit serious because the Dayton pool has piss in it, and I ain't trying to swim in that shit.

SPEAKER_21

Dayton pool. Wait, wait.

SPEAKER_20

That is a wild.

SPEAKER_21

That was a wild. That's a balling though.

SPEAKER_20

That is wild. Damn. What do you mean? Because you're out of the dating team.

SPEAKER_21

Dayton pool and it's a little bit.

SPEAKER_20

I am out of the dating scene. I sure am pissing it. What the fuck is that? I sure am up to date.

SPEAKER_07

But usually we get like, you don't want people's uh insight? Because usually you give the insight shit. That was that was a lot of insight. I mean, I I would love I would love for you to see. That was therapy part two.

SPEAKER_20

I would love for y'all to get some feedback. I had a whole conversation today with my partner and unrealistic expectations. No, it's not about us, it's about somebody that they're talking to. He was talking about how women have a tendency to like bring up what they want or like drop hints about what they want without just flat out asking for it. But then on the same time, they expect like if an if a man asks for something, they're a bum. They're a broke nigga. They're this, that, and the third. And it's become like a culture in society now where women can ask for everything, and as soon as a man asks for something, something negative is associated with those actions. And I'm not saying it has to be like a give or take type of situation. When a female asks, they say we are golden. No, I mean, but at the same time, what else are you doing? If you know up front that you have no intentions of going on a second date with the person or being with the person or pursuing anything with that person, why the fuck would you let him spin a paycheck on taking you out? If you know that you're just going out for a free fucking meal, why would you do that? That's just bad fucking morals and terrible integrity. And on the opposite end of the spectrum, if you know this woman does not want to have intercourse with you or do anything sexual or physical, why the fuck would you expect it? Just because you're spending money on her. And then get upset and feel like every woman only wants your money. But every time you got a woman out, you're throwing your money in her face. Y'all are working backward.

SPEAKER_07

I don't think people really wanna have those type of uh conversations. I don't but you know what, just to sum it up, man, it's just like it needs to be had. I think just people just need to be open and candid about what they want. You know, what they want, what they got. Like, just be open and candid, and it's up to the person to either accept it or not. I know a lot of people be fronting, you know. A lot of niggas is just a hundred years, and they fronting like they got all this shit, and they don't got it, you know. So just be up front, like listen, girl, my bank account, I got$200 in there. I'm living paycheck to paycheck. I got$30 in my pocket, that's what I'm living with.

SPEAKER_15

You should say no. I was on a I was on a date a few weeks ago, and we was talking about this. I was talking to her about this, and it was like, well, I think what's fucked up with the dating pool is like it's just the social media, first of all, it's like there's so much access to anybody, it makes it easy for you to dismiss any red flag. So like you go on a date, and I and I low-key, I just feel like you know, people that been single for a minute, you know what I mean, they they get comfortable with just you know being by themselves and shit like that. So a little red flag.

SPEAKER_20

You'd be like, uh being alone again.

SPEAKER_15

It's cool. Right. So I I think I think that's the main issue with like the dating fool now. It's like people are comfortable just being, you know, single and just you know, periodically dating here and there and shit like that. And like, like she said, like that that one red flag thing, it's like just any excuse to be like, oh, next, you know what I'm saying? I think that that's what the real issue is, man.

SPEAKER_20

But one and another one while dating, but I'm a cigarette flag sometime too, so I kind of fall in that category where I feel like I'm too healed. And sometimes a red flag, I can overlook certain things, but for the most part, what I notice about myself is like, yeah, I'll get turned off and I'm just like, yeah, no. And I'm very vocal though. I'm not gonna ghost you. You know, if you hit me and I'll just I'll just say I'm so sorry. Like, I don't feel like this is gonna align with what I want or where I'm going. Like, I don't know. I'll just be so transparent. I know I'm not sure. But you gotta be that part. That's a good way to say. I said the girls is not gonna like me after this. And I know it's gonna be some bitches in the comments talking about, oh shit, pick me. I've been told. Over and over and over and over again. I keep getting picked. So it ain't sex, sis. Okay, it's just reality. It's reality. Only 1% of women react how you do. Every other woman, it's no shade, because if it ain't you, you shouldn't feel hit. Every other woman is going to see how much she can she can get from that situation until she feels like she don't want to put up with it no more. And then we ain't even talking about all the niggas on the side that's doing the other things for her at the same time. And it I'm I'm not biased. Men do the same shit. I uh do the same shit. I went on a date recently and I had to fight the person to pay. Like, I was like, no, I'm gonna pay for my own stuff. He was like, no, like you would never did it. And I literally was like, no, no, no. I hope I waited till the waitress came in and I was like, take my card. And it's like because I'm triggered in a sense where it's like men are gonna look at you like, oh, this is the first date she won a good meal. I ordered ribeye because that's what I wanted. It's not about you paying for it, though. I could pay for it myself, but that's what I wanted. And he was so appalled, and I'm just like, I haven't spoken to him since. I think he was maybe turned off in a sense, but that's another thing where it comes from just like I'm just independent, and I feel like sometimes I need to let my guard down, and it's just like, I'll pay for your drink too, baby. What you want? Like, what you getting? Because I never want to be looked at as the girl that just went on a date for a meal. Like, that fucking sucks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_20

I paid for my own red vibe. I'm sorry, friend, if you see this.

SPEAKER_07

So that was that was triggered. That was triggered.

SPEAKER_20

Love that segment. Oh, that's gonna be triggered all the time.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, tick tock, tick tock is gonna go crazy on that one. And we didn't even release the one for last week. 100%. So my shit about to die in a second.

Words Of The Week Vocabulary Game

SPEAKER_20

Not today, though. Not today. I didn't get triggered today. Okay. I'm not in the data marriage. But you guys already know. This is Words of the Week. Words of the week. We're getting smart.

SPEAKER_18

You're getting smart.

SPEAKER_20

Where's Naya? You know, that's a smart one. Where is she? Because she needs to chime in.

SPEAKER_07

Sleep.

SPEAKER_20

Well, um this is the segment where we dress our vocabulary in silk and we talk with a little bit of spice, and we make you the smartest at brunch. Let's get into it. Alright, so the first word that we're gonna get into today is a noun slash adjective. So it can be both. Okay? It can be a person, place, or a thing, or it can be describing that person, place, or a thing. And the word is profligate. Profligate is spelled P-R-O-F-L-I-G-A-T-E. Profligate. Profligate. Is there a noun? Is it more adjective? It can be both. I got it. I got it even before I go into any of the things you can do. Oh no, go ahead. Go ahead. I don't think it's louder. I'm saying context. I thought it'd be louder. You might be right, bitch. You might be right, friend. My phone just died. Damn. God damn. Latin word profligare, meaning to destroy or ruin. Toxic.

SPEAKER_07

Y'all all said mmm, like I know this shit.

SPEAKER_20

I said only. A person I would say in mind, I would have been wrong. Go ahead, Destiny. Jealous, toxic. Someone that's jealous. Jealous, toxic. You you triggered. Um, I'm I was trying to say you're not cheating today, but you actually did. He is. I am going to say.

SPEAKER_05

Stop letting a nigga see your cards.

SPEAKER_20

It's a person that has bad intentions and is set on ruining. That's pretty good, actually, Stron. That's what I'm saying.

unknown

Nah.

SPEAKER_20

Does anyone else be guessing? She's sort of fucking. What are you doing? So basically, the context is basically um. It has to do with finances in this sense. But again, the Latin word is profligare, which means to destroy or ruin. So just take a guess off of that.

SPEAKER_15

What am I guessing, though? That's what I'm talking about. The meaning of the word. I thought you just gave the meaning. That was just what that was derived from.

SPEAKER_20

So that's the root word, which is the um etymology, I believe the word is, which goes into like what the root word of that actual word, profligate, means. So in the Latin world, that word profligere would mean to destroy or to ruin.

SPEAKER_15

Is it like like to gain something from ruining something?

SPEAKER_07

No, I think it's like something like wasteful. Like come along those lines.

SPEAKER_20

She just be cheating. So the definition of this word is recklessly extravagant or wasteful in spending.

SPEAKER_07

Told you! Y'all don't be listening to me. I be trying to tell y'all every week.

SPEAKER_20

So if I was to use it in a sentence, I would say she went from disciplined to profligate. The second she checked that account and her taxes hit. She was like, bitch, I'm rich. Bitch, nothing else. I'm rich. I got that money, huh? You know, so you're just about to go spend all that money, probably order DoorDash every single fucking day. Go shop afterwards. Buy shit that you ain't buying, man. Profligate. Profligate.

SPEAKER_15

I know my man Lucy is writing notes right now. He definitely.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, so if you are a lover of words, you're a logophile. You're a lover of words. Yeah, so I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a logophile for sure. I like big ass dot dot dot words. Logophile. I miss logophile. You're a logify. You my logophile. Alright, so the next word that we're gonna get into today is ostentatious.

SPEAKER_05

Ostentatious.

SPEAKER_20

It's an adjective. Just because you heard it, don't know. I know. I know having a brain heart. I don't want to cheat, but being real ostentatious. So don't cheat then. I'm being real ostentatious right now. I'm not cheating. I'm not cheating. Ostentatious is spelled O-S-T-E-N-T-A-T-I-O-U-S. The um what it's derived by is basically a Latin word. Yeah. Meaning to display. So the Latin root word is to display. Yeah, it could be, it could be. You can I think somebody put that in a record. The Latin word is ostentare, meaning to display. I I I agree with Swish, but I'm gonna go the actual you said it's an adjective. It's an adjective.

SPEAKER_04

Of course you agree with me.

SPEAKER_18

I'm gonna say it's when someone likes to be the center of attention.

SPEAKER_07

That's pretty good. That's pretty good, Lex. That's actually really good.

SPEAKER_20

That's actually really good. Does anyone else want to take any guesses before I tell you this? Alright. So the definition is designed to impress or attract notice, often in a showy or excessive way.

SPEAKER_07

So ostentatious.

SPEAKER_20

I mean, you you said the length. No, I said. Do you want to use it in the sentence? Ostentatious.

SPEAKER_05

You being real ostentatious right now. No, that's ostentation.

SPEAKER_20

That was a hit for y'all.

SPEAKER_05

I said it wrong.

SPEAKER_20

I was like, Yeah, we just wanted to throw that out there, but no.

SPEAKER_05

Ostentatious is a sexy word.

SPEAKER_20

Is it?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you looking real ostentatious.

SPEAKER_20

Oh, that's another word for the birthday. Ostentatious? I like that, but that's not what I meant. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

You're contagious. Ostentatious. Okay, Ron Eisley feel you.

SPEAKER_20

Hey yo, y'all. So if I was gonna use this in a sentence, I would say he thought it was a flex, but that nigga came off overly ostentatious. Overly ostentatious. Too motherfucking ostentators. Nobody wanna see that. You buying all them bottles, acting all bougie, shooting it with you. Hate them niggas on the club.

SPEAKER_07

That's what we talked about, the guys in the club.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, hate them niggas.

SPEAKER_07

Guys in the club is so ostentatious.

SPEAKER_20

I mean, all these niggas are Charlotte. Why the fuck nobody be hitting on me?

SPEAKER_05

That's cap. I didn't see niggas write down on you. Nobody hit something like that. I didn't see niggas write down on you.

SPEAKER_07

That's what she said. She said the niggas is is in the direct to uh just it but okay.

SPEAKER_20

That's crazy. So the next word, which is the last word of the night, is gonna be pecuniary. Pecuniary is basically an adjective, so it's gonna describe a person, place, or a thing.

SPEAKER_09

Pecuniary.

SPEAKER_20

Okay, and um the Latin word, which is the root word of this, is pecunia, meaning money. So it was originally tied to wealth, measured in cattle, but that was just like the root word of it. It's not the definition. Pecuniary. Rich ass motherfucker. Pecunia. What is it? A rich ass motherfucker. Nope. How do you even pronounce words? It's derived from the um Latin word pecunia, which means money. Money. But it was tied to wealth and cattle. So you know, back in the day when they used to buy cattle and they used to be like, you know, you got a lot of money, whatever, da-da-da-da. So um, y'all all look super confused. The definition is relation to or consisting of money. So this could be someone who has money. I would say her interest wasn't romantic, it was strictly pecuniary. Pecuniary. She didn't even really want you. She was one of them. That would have been pecuniary.

SPEAKER_07

That was a good one. I thought it was something totally different. What you thought it was?

SPEAKER_05

You said pecuniary, right?

SPEAKER_20

Pecuniary.

SPEAKER_05

Pecuniary. Pecuniary.

SPEAKER_18

I thought it had something to do with being.

SPEAKER_05

It definitely was like right, like the very beginning, right as soon as you get inside the right.

SPEAKER_18

That part soon as you got.

SPEAKER_20

First little warmth.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that first little part, as soon as you got to the hole then, right? That's the pecuniary.

SPEAKER_20

Only niggas. No, I'm dead. But okay, so yeah, I'm looking for a sugar daddy.

SPEAKER_18

You that say that? Oh boy. I did say that.

SPEAKER_20

Or a splendor. Or a shit. She did say that. I said that for the dad. See what she was talking about with somebody that's not willing to give to receive. Not me. Come see me, friend. No, I have. You are a sugar daddy. Hitch ass. Please. I'm serious.

SPEAKER_02

Put this and pick this on TikTok. It's not that.

SPEAKER_12
