Yo Gotti CMG Member Big Grip What Really Happen

[music] Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to E. The reason you see you understand RIP to my [ __ ] Grip, man. I mean, me and Grip go way back, bro. So, rest in peace, my [ __ ] >> Wow. Wow. Guys, make sure you like, subscribe to the channel, man. Uh, you know, more details surface about uh Yo Gotti's uh close close friend, aka brother. A lot of people say his brother. A lot of people got in the comments. They say that's not his brother. Well, we made mention of that in the deal, but one thing we going to do is really uh pay tribute to our fallen brothers that are down here. TMZ might not report on it or they may miss certain ones because they're not important to them, but they're very important to us down here. All of the fallen soldiers, the people who u mean something to the people who we we got people that we put in the public eye. And a lot of time a lot of people don't or they don't recognize them. But, uh, Boss 101 definitely, uh, man, uh, was hard, it was a hard thing to see, uh, Gri who of CMG, um, you know, start getting all those tributes from a lot of different people. Uh, I got my boy, uh, uh, my boy Dre from around the way, New York, New Jersey, stand up. Uh, and I got my my girl reality TV, man. Good morning, y'all. >> Man, >> man. Um, did y'all see this start surface here? Well, I know reality TV did cuz she's the one sent it to me. She's the first one sent me anything on this. I didn't even know it had happened, but I have seen grip in pictures and hanging uh, you know, closely around uh, CMG like uh, one of the guys who really mean a lot to him. He wears the chain. He he represents to the fullest more than a lot of those guys that even was over there. You see him rep this thing, you know, from the heart. It seemed like he he was more he was more hands-on with the artist than the other people if that makes sense. Like he some people do their job but some people really do their job. >> Yeah. Uh he definitely uh when I seen Booy talk about it and y'all know how big of a I'm a Booy fan, you know. So, you know, shout out to Booy, you know. Pimp, you know, the birth of Booy really. Well, brother Boozy go back to Young Bleed, which that's my boy, you know, and and and Young Bleed really was tight with me. Y'all see how how But then also his second emerge, you know, uh PC. So, all that mattered to me. So, all of that be kicking in. But to see him speak out about it, you could tell from his the way he spoke that he had a um a real tight relationship with him and [clears throat] it was like, dang, man. Like, you know, we just keep losing people. But we getting older, you know, we are getting older and we do, you know, I mean, we we if you can't do certain things you used to do, I'll put it like that. I don't know what the clear cause of death is. A lot of people speculating, a lot of people saying this, saying that. We over here, we don't we don't get out like that. We we just basically lay on the fact of what really is being said in the public eye. And you know, like I said, you could tell with the pictures that you see him and Gotti uh always was linked and and uh you see him on pictures even when Big Juke was living, you know, and just uh he always he even being a spokesperson at certain times, man. But definitely um uh going to truly be missed for that camp. Uh when you seen this Drake, what did you think when you first seen it surface on the internet? >> Uh so, uh reality TV is right. So, I met Big Grip in 2013 from a guy who I had the same relationship with him as I have with you. He used to sell my clothes and he has a store in Columbia, South Carolina called Area 57 and >> Yeah. Yeah, I know that store. >> Yeah. And at that time, I told Snoop like, "Yo, I'm trying to get, you know, cuz you know, Convertible Bird had went, you know, cuz Matt was going through his thing. So I was like, "Yo, I I want a way to get back into my southern, you know, cuz I used to mess with all artists, not just the Northeast." So he put me with Grip. And you're right, reality TV. Grip. Grip was a gentleman. But one thing I like about Grip, he was a good cop to to Yoatti's bad cop. You know what I'm saying? Yo Gotti just want the numbers, this, that, and the G. Grip was a negotiator. Grip talk to you, smooth you over. Grip was a nice dude, man. >> Wow. >> Kicking with Grip. I ain't know you I ain't know you and him had linked up on the clothes because that's what people don't get about you. That's why I keep you as a dynamic always on my line whether we doing boss talk or not because with them clothes and the way we linked and the way you know you know owning stores and all the stuff we done been through convertible bird all the stuff that you was pushing over there your you know your gilly yard days whatever you was doing you was linking with these artists placing this merch on them and then that ran you into a lot of the CEOs that ran you into a lot of the business the ones who basically does the business or would say hey he's going to be there and they going to put this gear on. So I know you link with a lot of different people including Gotti, you know, and just the way that you are, you know, you basically once you link in with people, you pay close attention to what's going on with character. So I always admired that in you. So yeah. So you and him, you know, basically you, him, Gotti, all that when this going on, how did you even first uh meet uh Grip? Yeah, I met Grip in at uh at Snoop spot in Columbia, South Carolina at his law school and we we kicked it. He was like, "Yo, he was a cool dude. I'll never forget when I said, "Yo, you look like James Harden. I'll never >> Wow." He >> started laughing. I was like, "Yo, you look like Hardened." But he was cool though. He was a good dude. He was a good cop though. Definitely. Cuz sometime he'll be like, "Yo, we going to make this happen." And then a day later he'll call me nah. You know, he said this. said, "Dad, Dre," I was like, "Oh, there we go." But no, I [ __ ] with Brook. I [ __ ] with Brett. I mean, I didn't even It was been at least, I would say, since my father died, 201. But up until then, from like 2013 for like five years, I I was rocking with Grip a little heavy. You know what I'm saying? So, RP to the brother, man. >> Wow. >> RP to the brother. >> And and reality TV, what did you think when you seen uh there's different things as that was wrote. Shout out to H&HA. It says that CEO grip was closely assoc associated with Gotti and business partner in CMG. His passing has led to tributes from Booy W luchi and more. Hip hop is sadly suffered another losses this month as reported emerged that CEO Gri has passed away. Grip was business partner and close colleague of Yoatti and the CMG camp as uh caught by the Jasmine brand of Instagram. various uh figures in the rap world um took to social media to pay tribute to Memphis fixture. And you have, you know, this is something that happens now. I want to talk about that a little bit. You know, our feelings and the way we display how we feel about things. You know, it's a little different than what it used to be, guys. And I want to just set on that for a second because when you think about a person passing away, used to, you know, I remember those days we really were rocking with them. We pull up to their mama house, we tell her, "Hey man, we sorry for your loss." But now we just because we so in tune with everybody and how we moving now, you get a comment or you get a a post or you get a picture reposted. Is this something that that you guys feel is healthy or do y'all feel like it separated us more as a people or how do you feel like that links now versus p, you know, versus in the in in the in the younger days in the past days? And I I hit you with that one, Dre. >> Did I Did I lose you, Dre? >> Okay. I'm here. So you said now I I lost what you were saying. >> I basically was saying about you know now you know back in the days people would pull up to mama house and uh you know tell her hey we sorry for your loss you know and I think it still goes on on a smaller level now but people are justified by just posting a comment or a picture and saying they paid tribute to the person. What do you think about that? >> Oh you're saying a more intimate uh actually paying your condolences versus just posting a picture. >> Correct. for getting in the comments. Yeah. Putting praying hand. >> I think that listen um we live in a microwave society. Um we don't so you had to go into big mama's house or big daddy's house or somebody you knew died because there was no social media. So you had if you were in proximity you had to show up if that was your peace. It was a sign of respect. I think it's just a form of different communication now. But listen, times have changed, life have changed, and we just had to adapt. If I'm in New York and something was to happen to you or reality TV and I can't get to Dallas, yo, I got to find my way to still support you and support Tribute. Now, lucky for me, I'm Crisco to Maine all the way to Spain. I can get on a plane, you know what I'm saying? And I can do what I do. But most some people don't have it like that. Some people can't go to Dallas on a drop of a dime and and and stay at one of his wives house and say I'm here to support my man because he no longer here. Right. >> So listen, as long as we show due respect, >> you know what I'm saying? As long listen, but we don't want to lose anybody. But we also have to like we also have to remember that times have changed and the best way to do it is to show love any way you can. It's one thing not to post anything or say anything about it. So, at least you have to make the attempt. And that's all I say about it. >> Well, I won't ask I won't ask reality TV the same thing. >> Well, I think that their situation might be a little bit different, but because of the situation with D and Yatti. So, I think it might be a little bit harder to go pay uh your respects personally because know what happened to his brother and young Dolph and stuff like that. And I'm saying that because people was in the comments saying long Dolphin, it ain't got nothing to do with Dolph. >> I seen that too. >> I think that situation that situation may be a little bit decent, >> man. You know, >> remember how his brother died, so that was at a funeral. Right. >> Right. Correct. >> So say that again. Reality TV. You feel that the situation is different in what way? I'm trying to understand what you were saying. >> I'm say like personally like personal their situation is different cuz you don't know what might happen. >> Yeah. And and I'll say this too, Dre. What she's saying is if you drive up over there and and and you say you new grip and you you you now you just pick the side. If somebody see, oh yeah, you you with that side or or you know, it's just the the hurt that's done came through losing soldiers in these areas because of uh different people and that was always a thing. But that was always a thing. Yeah. Yeah. But that was always a thing. It's just a little bit more in your face now. But back in the days if something happened, I remember when I lost my homeboy, we had came to put in some work in the country and uh I he got out of the car with me and he got stabbed in the heart and threw out at the church the next you know once we got out I were going to where I were going to do my work at while I was out of town. He went to where he was going to do heals at. He gets stabbed in the heart, throwed out uh uh uh in front of a church on Main Street and it's like, damn. Like we just was come, you know, coming to get down and he gets killed. Uh I have to go back up there the next day cuz I got, you know, I got a couple of uh guns and stuff in the car. So I'm like, damn. like and I got his saw out 12 gauge and and I I bring that back to his uh brother to his twin brother actually. So that was a tough time, but dealing with beef and people getting killed and pulling up on that block and not knowing who who did this and how how this thing is going is a is it's a different thing uh in the '9s than it than it would be now. Cuz now people got cell phones back in the 90s when that happened. You know what, you know, I just pulled up and I really ready for all the smoke because I'm 20some at the time. But now, uh, it's a whole different ball game. Um, at 50 something, nobody pulling up like that. Unless it's it's really close kin. If it's family like y'all or something, it's different. But, you know, just somebody I knew cuz I met them on the internet. That's a different world, right? Meaning, I might not even know this person. A lot of people are chiming in and and like you had a you knew Grip, you know, we just pretty much reacting and showing love to Grip because of all the time building up with the music of CMG or Dolph. We all react because we feel like we closely knit it because we we downloaded that music or we we we rock with those people and we contributed and so we feel people had feelings and this stuff back in the day. They just couldn't react to it. Let's talk about that for a second. So at the end of the day, you know, it's handled different now. That's all I was saying. I didn't give nobody the mic, but reality TV, you can speak. >> I don't know why you choose me to speak. [laughter] >> Are you saying a lot? >> Yeah, definitely. >> But I do feel like the I I would be scared to go to the funeral. And I'm only saying it because what happened at the uncle funeral. >> Oh yeah. To at Juke. Oh, at the uncle funeral. It wasn't Juke attended. >> That's that's it was somebody funeral. >> So it's still it's still a war zone. And you feel like >> I definitely feel like it's still a war. That's why I say they situation probably a little bit different. >> I think I think it's right under your fingertips here in Dallas, too. A lot of fallen soldiers that >> you got you got to you got to really be a person who prayed up to deal with certain people because they going to put you in a box. Oh, you chose a side. I've been hearing that forever. Whether it be with whatever situation and you got to be strong enough to know I know in my heart I'm not in nothing. And I'm by the grace of God given a a a platform so that I can speak to uh all camps and show love to all camps. That's the problem with everybody. You really fall prey to some comments or some situations where people try to call you and try to put you in something that you're not in. You have to be able to be smart enough to say, "You know what? I'm I don't have no ill will toward now one of these parties. And I'm going to keep on talking to both of these parties because I'm I want to show that you can show love in the midst of hate. And if you really show love enough that hate going to bag down cuz I ain't never seen hate win over love. I really haven't. And if you really show love, people have changed their minds. People have I look at Mo three mama when when when Kiwan White got convicted and she said, "Don't nobody love you. I love you. You know, that's closure. You know, that's that's a different level now. That nobody seen that coming. So that that's why real soldiers will stand up and and and and be in the gap to say, "Man, we going to be all right." That's what you had back in the days in the old older guys that was on the scene, they would step up and say, "You know what, man? Y'all y'all both need to stop what you're doing, man. This ain't a good thing for nobody's family. And somebody got to have be a voice of reason when things is happen like what happened with Dolph and what happened with uh Juke and what happened with Mo three and what happened with uh Yella and and and and you know uh all of these Roy Lee and all these people man who going to say something and be a bridge instead of a a a person who starts and and and and stirs up [ __ ] You know, when Biggie died and Tupac died, there was people like Snoop Dogg who basically tried to say, "Hey, man. I ain't in this, man." And I'm trying to bridge the gap. People don't like to tell the truth about that cuz they want you to pick a side so bad. But there has to be voices of reason that step up and say, "You know what, man?" Like T when I was talking to him last week. Hey, man. I tal I seen Biggie there when Tupac first got shot and and and and Biggie couldn't get in and and Pac was there. You know, you got to be a voice of reason that's not afraid to speak up on truth and try to bring some closure or some bridges instead of some walls and friction. And I I digress, but yeah, uh Dre, you know how it go. >> Yeah. I mean, look, um, my father used to say when he was on this planet, when one of his friends used to die, he used to say, "Boy, there's people that's dying that never died before." And you know, you never know when you're not going to be here. You know what I'm saying? And um, yo, you got to Life is Life is a precious thing. That's why one thing about me, I try to be the same to everyone. I I try to be the same to every person, you know. I try to be upstanding and and you know try to you know like I always say I shake the janitor hand like I shake the CEO hand. You know what I'm saying? [snorts] And and that's just the truth. You got to we have to value life. You know you never know. You never know when I I go to pick up my phone to call E and he might not be here or I you know pick up my phone to stalk uh reality TV and she not here. You know what I'm saying? And vice versa. So you have to, you know, value this precious time, man. You only get one time on this planet. Make the best of it, man. Get you a bunch of W. Get you a bunch of >> Oh my god. >> You know, talking about a bunch. >> Wow. Well, you >> say on that. >> No, no, that's real. Uh, wife and Luchi said, "Damn, big dog." You know, you you see all these thing, then you hear money bag. Yo, he just throws up, you know, the the hearts and, you know, uh, the bird and and show. So, there was there was ways to show him early respect, people who, you know, and and and people who really And then there's people who really just was fans of the guy. Uh, you see them throwing uh different, you know what I mean? I know those guys over there. Um definitely trying to understand how to move around the algorithm that we just lost a real close knit to this family who spoke well about us who wore the chains we wore who hung out at the place we hung out with wasn't afraid to represent us. Of course you going to have the Dolph people in the comments. They was in our comments yesterday but at the end of the day that's just a part of it. They it's a lot of people still hurt and a lot of these commenters are hurt. They don't know how to deal with pain. So, you're going to get that a lot of times. And I'm willing to deal with that. That's a part of being a leader. You don't let little bitty naysayers or people who hurt or people who ain't on a level to understand stop you from uh speaking out and saying, "Hey, man." Um, like I said, one of my most viral videos ever was when uh Yo Gotti and uh Dog first started and I talked about them and I tried to, you know, be a voice of reason in a time where it was thick and and people didn't want to hear it. But I said somebody was going to end up dead or in prison and a lot of people are dead namely Dolph some of the came some of the people that on on each side are in prison. So you seen that with all this. I spoke prophetically to that and it hurt people because they didn't want to hear it at the time because we was in the mix of both guys was here when I spoke on that. Don't make me pull up receipts cuz I damn sure got them. And and you know I just always tried to be a voice of reason and say man y'all ain't ready for this. what this going to bring going to be heavy and hurt a lot of people, man. And and I I met Dolph uh I never met Dolph. I met Gotti and just um you know, I met the guys that were with him, rightand man at the time. Uh I hadn't seen him in years, but I know he went through a lot. So that's why I'm saying guys, you got to understand, I always been here for the culture, but at the end of the day, my voice as a here I am as a 50some year old man versus being a younger cat. I always got mad at the people in hip hop, the leaders who don't speak up in these tough times. So, you know, in the book of Isaiah, it says, "Here am I, Lord, send me." So, at the end of the day, if you going to say something about people not speaking up, then you find yourself being the one to say, "I'm going to have to speak up. I'm going to have to say something. You giving me a voice." And that's why I'll always speak out for these uh brothers. Uh no matter what you think. If you want to get in the comments, you can get in the comments because it ain't going to stop nothing. And you ain't show ain't g ain't gonna hurt my feelings because I know who I am. >> Damn show ain't gonna stop me. >> No, we've been getting to it a long time. I've been owning stores as you know, Dre for 20 some odd years. Um I've been running around here uh serving the black community, helping open up barber shops, helping open up uh helping rappers open up studios. Uh I've always been one who really got in the mix of the culture. Uh little girl get shot this four years old. I'm pulling up. You know, it's a lot of people can't say that. You a lot of people just sitting around talking and they all they got is the comments. So, we in the community have to be, you know, me being a business owner for over 20 years, you have to step up and and and be a leader in the midst of your people and your culture. And that's what I've been not only now to uh I've been this to rappers and people who you feel like is your uh biggest you their biggest hero. You you didn't see it coming, but God will give me a speech in the mix to all of that, bro. I'm able to pick up the phone and talk to people that certain people I never be able to talk to in their life and they show a lot of respect because they know I love the culture and and and the receipts check out. So that's a whole game. If your receipts check out, people will respect you and it don't matter how much money you got. It don't matter who you are. They're going to say, "You know what, brother? That's a solid dude right there." And the anointing of God kick in for me because that's how I believe and people show me a lot of love and respect and I just got to give it up to that. So, I definitely have made myself a part of this uh being a voice and saying this speaking in the midst of a culture that we need to be able to look out for each other and being able to get people to hear me certain people and getting people to be encouraged. That's what it's all about, man. Especially at this age. But I ain't going to stay on my my my soap box, y'all. Y'all tune in. There's a lot going on. The Rosco Dash stuff is uh going on. There's a line of people, man. Uh uh Solo Luchi like there's a lot of people that support what we got going on over. I can't mention everybody.
