Lock in and be disciplined on all the ingredients to success and a road map that you see. You put the GPS to where you at, what you got to do to get there and stay on course. And as long as you stay on course, everything will happen that you need to happen. It's just like that. >> Much love, sister. >> Good luck. >> I appreciate you. >> You know what I mean?

Now, let me break this [ __ ] down. I'mma tell the story how it is. Cuz this spot I'm ready to take to you, we was in front of was it was cut to the M. But what was the Jamaican joint that we was in front? There was >> uh what was they names? >> Cut to the Max is a barber shop up here, right? >> What was the Jamaican? Damn. >> Two Jamaica. I forget their name. >> We going to get their names from Chico and Woody. >> Chico and Woody. These two oldheads. They were Jamaicans, right? >> Getting a bunch of money. >> Bunch of money. Had the Lexus with the gold trims and all that. So we over there, they had the spot, right? The spot they had. I come up here and one day there's no [ __ ] I was on foot patrol cuz I used to walk all around the city back when I was a young blood, right? So I I What's up, family? So I come up here, right? I'm going up here, right? And I see a little Was it a cipher? Was you Did you walk up or what happened? >> No, you was already at the cipher. >> And you and you was walking around. >> I was coming home. Yeah. I just was coming home from college and [ __ ] >> And this was his neighborhood. He come in there and listen, this no [ __ ] I'm going to show you the spot. This is where the whole thing began. Watch your back, man. He come here. He come here and I'm spitting. We all spitting a circle going around this. >> They was already rapping, right? I wasn't a rapper, but I had just had >> Bro, don't say you wasn't a rapper. No rapper. >> I only had one rap that I had wrote in college. >> But once you write a rap, you're a rapper. >> No, I wasn't no rapper. >> That don't make no sense. >> I was [ __ ] around. It just so happened my one was at a time. You can't say you was a ball. >> I was a ball player, [ __ ] You seen my [ __ ] highlights, [ __ ] >> Stop acting like you ain't seen my highlights, [ __ ] >> Well, that's a bad that you know why you that that's a bad percentage cuz you ain't winning rap or basketball. All right, >> so that's a little bad. >> I won in life, [ __ ] >> That's a little bad cuz you use a bump. But but whatever the case may be, I'm not going to lie to you. Now, he could tell you the story that he want to tell you. I'm gonna tell you a different story, right? I'm gonna tell you a different story. So, so, so the different story is this. Th This is a different story. What's up? What's up, young blood? How you be? This a different story, right? So, we up here. We doing our thing. And he rap. When he started to rap, this no boy, let me just stop for a minute. Right here, one of these buildings, right? When he started to rap the whole thing, I'm like I said, I ain't going to lie. I said, "This [ __ ] hot. He hot." because it wasn't just about him rapping. See, at that time, let me just put it together. At that time, I was a talent scout, too. Outside, I was an MC, a talent scout. I used to write on walls. I used to boost on the side. I used to do a little bit anything. But I was I was a slash at that time. But more importantly, I was a talent scout. And let me tell you what happened. This is what happened, right? When he started spitting, it wasn't the spit that got me because it was strong. And the stuff that he was talking about, I didn't hear people talking about it because this was the rap style back then. So I got just in Philly. Well, I ain't going to say this in Philly cuz everybody got their different rap styles in Philly, but at that time his rap was this. I get Fly, put that [ __ ] on. I get these chicks. I get some money. I don't want no trouble, but if it got out of get out of line, I'mma pop you. That was the format of rap at that time. And that's what it turned to be. That's what Major Figures turned to be. And you know that rap that that that that fly rap mixed with light aggression. That's where he was at at the time. So I heard him, but it [clears throat] was his body language. And one thing that still to this day, you couldn't you couldn't shake his confidence. He had this unbelievable confidence. So all I'm thinking is about this back in the day. I'm thinking about I'm ready to get him the deal of a lifetime. I'm going to sign his life away. Right? So that's what I'm thinking because that's the manager and the talent scouting me. You know what I mean? Cuz he's spitting. He coming through. He got this. He like this. Everything got the he putting a on every lyric. It was just that great. So I'm like, "Oh, this dude I'm like and I listen." So after he get done, you know what I tell him? You know what I tell him? Let me tell you what I tell him. And he can tell you that I told him this cuz I told him I said, "Listen." I said, "Listen, kid. You're going to be a star." He's like, "Me? For real? He messed up because he don't even believe that he got what it take. But I'm telling him, listen. I'm telling I'm telling him. I'm telling him. It's cool, sister. I'm telling him he got what it take. You all right, sister? Don't worry about that. I'm like, he got what it take. I'm like, so I go right to him. Listen, kid. I said, you're going to make a store. Give me your number, man. I'm going to get with you, man. Don't even worry about nothing. I got some places for you, right? >> First of all, he was my cousin first of all. >> But first of all, listen, hold on. Hold on. I told him, man. But didn't I say that? I said, listen. This is what I said. I said, I got some places for you. Two weeks later, he was performing at Suscoana Day Black Party.
