00:00I want to get into, you know, the initiative with What Up No Pizza, but I got to get into the album first, Intrusive Thoughts, out today.
00:09Most definitely, mandatory snacks, go grab that immediately.
00:12I want to ask, you know, a lot of people, you know, we're praising you for your emotional intelligence on your records, and they call it, you know, pain music.
00:21What does that mean to you, you know?
00:24It's therapy. This shit is therapy for me. When I'm scribbling in it, it's therapeutic.
00:28When I'm reciting it on the mic, it's therapeutic.
00:31When I tweak on it and listen to it, get a full dosage of it, it's therapeutic.
00:36So, it's therapy for me.
00:38Does it surprise you when people kind of relate to it in that way?
00:41You know, they have the same feelings that you had when you created it?
00:43Hell no, it ain't surprising, because I know that, you know, I'm one of them.
00:47The people that relate to it, I'm actually one of them.
00:49They're my biological loved ones. We come from the same, you know what I'm saying, atmosphere.
00:54So, I'm pretty sure they're going to relate to it.
00:56I do want to ask you, you know, a few months ago, last time I saw you, you were giving back to the women's shelter out in Watts.
01:03Today, you're teaming up with What Up Dope Visa and Down North Visa.
01:07And I got to ask you, you know, what does it mean for you to be able to give back, you know, to those in need?
01:12First and foremost, a lot of them be screaming, free the team and don't feed the team, you know.
01:17And I believe the residuals is going to incarcerated thug lives.
01:21And so, you know, I'm just looking out for my people, providing for my people, throwing the alley-oop to those who are in need.
01:28I know the feeling. I know the feeling when you in there and you ain't got no loved ones out here that's functioning with you.
01:33So, you know, I'm just making sure I'm reciprocating to love.
01:36If I had anything to tell the youth, I'd let them know that Game Banging is a non-profitable organization.
01:42And we need to focus our time and energy on running up a bag, you feel me?
01:45I feel like, you know, when a n***er touch that chicken, he make wiser decisions.
01:50So, you know, I ain't shifting the blame on nobody, it's us. It's most definitely us.
01:55So, you think it can change with the youth, you know, with the youth coming up, you know.
01:59I think if they had some paper, yeah, if they had some financial stability, it would be legitimate.
02:04We wouldn't be, you know, this, like I said, it's just, we cut from this.
02:08You know what I'm saying? I'm a child of the trenches. I ain't have a choice.
02:12Some n***ers got to choose where they from.
02:13But as far as those who got to choose where they from, man, I feel like if you, you know,
02:17presented them with avenues of getting some paper, you know, they'd make better choices.
