Atlanta since the fourth grade I've. moved there in 94 and we both come to. the conclusion it's not the same city. that I've that I did I moved there in 94. and even when I left six years ago to. move to L.A it's different no that's a. whole different city man it's faster. it's not country as it used to be right. you know I mean you start seeing people. from every Walk of Life right we got. traffic yeah I've never had traffic do.

we got traffic man this traffic is seven. o'clock nine o'clock at night I'm like. where all these people going it used to. be trapped you know walking used to be. traffic basically Thanksgiving all the. way to the new year and then it was cool. now that's a 24 7. 99 24 7. 48 8. so thanks for stopping by the club. I'm just let's talk about the crew. League the hip-hop basketball. competition yeah you or your team beat. 21 Savage team now he said you would.

y'all team were doing a lot of filing on. demand but why do you got fouls. yeah. at least they won't look cute and don't. foul come on man it's amazing you're not. leaving the game with all your files. they tell you oh no I'm using all those. my nephew is just FaceTiming me today. your team beat 21 Savage team 21 22-20. yeah a lot of jelly talk a lot of you. the king you're the king of a now yeah. no I'm not okay yeah basketball they're. Basketball Wives ain't touching me so.

you had you got skills like that I was. out of shape though man also you a lot. of shape or you beat it I feel like a. retired plumber. you know what one of my family the. police he just big he'd just be chilling. now right but I'm told I jump for this. rebound man I'm telling you man that. shock I got through my legs right was. unbelievable but I got more endurance. than all of them these guys go out and. party and drinking one rule I loved. about is that the celebrity or the. captain can't come out the game unless. both decide to do it right so for me I'm. gonna make you run over four or four.

quarters so you didn't come by the game. you won the MVP yeah but that was our. strategy from the beginning right we. said all we got to do is keep the artist. in the game right they can't they won't. they won't be able to survive so. obviously you're very competitive did. you play sports growing up yeah I played. basketball I tried football. you tried it and I mean you tried it you. big too what happened you get mad and. want to come play football now you gotta. hit me yeah they going down like. whatever you get back that's the thing. you can get mad and just lay somebody. out and it's all within the room see.

basketball I just shoot your eyes out no. I want to shoot nobody if I'm mad. already going to paint with you man the. man like dude me being bad at you is. raining the three as opposed to be. putting this photo he Reign is putting. it putting the bow backing him down. that's so you play you played basketball. were you good at it I was great at it my. problem my problem was my attitude it. showed me man basketball showed me that. uh your team is everything you is. nothing right so and I was just a Blog I. was just a Mrs nor though I felt like I.

didn't have to practice I feel like I. have to do suicide I was unorganized. right so by me failing to make it to the. NBA I feel like it showed me and I. opened that people around you is. everything so that was your goal growing. up you played basketball you felt you. had the skills to make it to the next. level oh definitely I want out of. basketball what I wanted to be was uh an. astronaut a basketball player or just. get money. well you got the money well. so I guess being about I don't got the. money yet. you got some money but you want more.

money I ain't got no money that's the. cold part I need some money man go ahead. old man yeah it's crazy. so when you were growing up what you. wanted to be an astronaut you want to be. a basketball player but what was your. fallback plan if none of those things. happened the streets. the streets yeah. so you won the slang I ain't want to. slang the streets so what are you gonna. do with the street I'll get some money. how you get money hey selling mixtapes.

hey what's it cost hey Street. hey hey the streets you need no. application you're right no degree. you just need to be like be Lawless man. and I feel like I missed basketball I. feel like I [ __ ] up right you know. what I'm saying like he threw coffee to. the way you ain't even really care after. that I never believe I could go to. college that wasn't even a thought in my. head. like I'm telling you rode in the streets. there's no I Me growing Up is not how. black you know what we call black kids.

in our neighborhoods today we didn't. have real estate agents we didn't have. none of that we didn't have no. entrepreneurship that [ __ ] was unheard. of so in your neighborhood you didn't. have anybody to spot you so you saw the. people in the street so that's what you. aspired now it ain't that I even seen. them I I wasn't even inspired by them. either right I just knew I needed. something to get to the next level and. what was close to me what streets so I'm. not so I'm just a close Fade to Spade. right but I wasn't there to broadcast. about it brag about it I'm not kind of. person that do that you would never know. what I did right so I was just I needed. something to go to the next level but.

I'm not a person that settled for us. right I always know I'm not a person. that brag brag about things that's not. positive at the end of the day so for me. I just knew I'm gonna be something right. but one thing I always kept was a book. in my head right you know I'm saying I. always made sure man it ain't against. you to be done gangsters can read right. so I just took the gangster image to the. next level like oh boy's gangsters. taking care of my family was gangsters. just keep my little brother alive those. gangsters keeping my homies alive and I. didn't want to risk nobody's life for my.

lifestyle but you know when you're in. that lifestyle you risking others like. people's life unconsciously you know now. I know because back then it was it was. more so I felt like I was helping you. because if I'm in the streets and you. respect my you respect the name and how. I'm coming man you ain't gonna touch my. family right I know that from being a. kid growing up right so it's more I was. more big on respect I wanted the streets. for respect because respect gets you. paid right. I don't know about why I'm from respect. get you paid right so that's why I want. respect well that's the number one.

currency yeah love and respect that's. all I love love and respect so you're. doing what you're doing did you have a. game did you have a game like I'm gonna. do this for five years I'm gonna do this. for 10 years how long do you say I said. I'm a Hustle. I knew I have a limit on it. I just wanted to find a better hustle so. one hustle led to another host that's it. so is that how you morphed into the rap. game you started hustling like well dang. you hear other guys rapping like I could. do that no it's funny my mother had an. artist she was uh manager she had a. chance to like uh do community work for.

okay and uh I ended up uh getting close. to one we didn't best friends right so I. thought to myself I was like yo. maybe he could be a big rapper right you. know I believe him right hey Gucci I. believe you right I'm with you so I. started from right there I said you know. what I'm gonna be I'm about to learn my. first job ever uh outside of anything. I'm gonna be your assistant bro right. I'm gonna be your security I'm gonna. have to be a robot this stuff I never. knew these titles but this is what I was. doing hey bro you can't even pick a bag. up you're a star so that's what I was oh.

you have all that oh of course if he get. out if I help him blow up I'm gone. that's and we created a we created a. company together he was like yo let's. take this to the next level and that's. what I did so on that I learned how to. beat security role manager assistant. booking agent I learned all these roles. so when I seen God God put me in a new. atmosphere I didn't take that gift for. granted right I took it and went up with. it right and that's and thank God for. that today so your mom was was a manager. or help get help get Gooch started yeah. my mother was super one right and so.

that and so you you tagged along you. jumped on Google tell us hey bro you. going to the top on me with you all. jokes my mother told me she's like a. walker. I you need to go on a roll and try it. out because I couldn't do it I feel like. if I chase him that's like you know it's. like meat riding you know right my. little meat ride this guy right almost. like yo walking just do it I need you to. do this and I thought I said it's my. mother investment right so at least if. I'm gonna go out here hard for for games. or cruise I need to go hard for my. mother investment right if I'm willing.

to take a bullet in the street I didn't. take a bullet for her Investments I'm. like I'm gonna die to make sure he go. right and I really felt like I really. felt like Whoever touched this man I'm. going to prison right y'all don't leave. him alone. wow I'm I'm a man I'm trying to jump. over you you about it about it I'm about. it today but I'm not gonna risk my life. for right yeah. yeah I read what you said my gun was. like my father it was like a bullet. stopper it was comforting it is man. Charlie it's the bully shopping bro hey. you and it's just sad I mean but you.

don't have you can have 10 police cars. or two officers in it they could Patrol. 10 hours out the day and it's still. dangerous right so let's let you know. man police only there to pick up the. body or help you to the ambulance right. they ain't never there to stop the crime. when I was so I had to have a gun. mandatory mandatory it's no fun but I. mean but you know you do realize that. when you pick that gun up that you know. you you taking that thing for a reason. and you know you're like I'm gonna have. to use it but you were gonna kill a. brother. I don't know what I was gonna do right.

but I'll tell you this I grew up in a. battlefield well and I opened my eyes I. had swords guys yelling oh and to go. outside and they've got supermarkets in. the battlefield you have schools in the. battlefield you have life in a. battlefield so I'm not gonna go on a. battlefield but unarmed you know what. I'm saying like I have to so what what. did you what did your mom say what was. your mom thinking because I know Mom. ain't funny I know she trying to talk to. you say Walker come on now I definitely. played a good role she didn't know you.

like that. she ain't one enough yeah my mother. ain't one of them people like oh yeah go. sell drugs right so I will knock your. head off your shoulders like who's that. woman so I just had to finish you know I. played basketball so but then when I got. into some trouble somebody came knocked. on the door like hey your son did some. stuff to my house I'm like oh [ __ ]. that's your friend my own her son be. tripping like me. yeah you said the gun was your bully. stopper did you get bullied oh yeah.

it's funny my first time getting bullied. by a girl huh yeah she's great she likes. you she went bully she like you want to. you know punch me like I dodged up my. whole sixth grade. I'm telling you I was super scared of. her right but I got in the hoods of. course you get bullied Elementary School. in New York right it was taking your bus. pass. I'm desperate chasing you I guess she. was real my whole life was just real. right but I'm just not here to complain. about I'm not here to make that like a. sob story right that was just my. strength so that helped me today when I.

do business today sitting across the. table with anybody I'm not never gonna. settle for less you're never gonna take. advantage of me I'm never gonna complain. right but we're gonna talk about. business though we're gonna get it done. your first tattoo hit squad tatted on. your fingers yeah your homie did it with. a tattoo gun he did it with a uh with a. paper clip. paper clip uh ink from a pen my oh my. best friend I don't I don't know who. who's more insane him for doing it or. you for allowing him to do it yeah he. went to jail learn how to do some. tattoos oh boy okay.

so he came out you were just canvas. that's right let's get it. bro you let a man tattoo you with a. paper clip yeah I messed up in school so. I was already in the streets right there. and I knew I couldn't go to school I'm. like I'm head first in this that's. that's who I am how bad did that hurt. how were you when you got the tattoo I. had like 17. hit squad that was the name of your crew. yeah that was named my friend yeah. your friend y'all my friend my friends.

that was the name of us. so in your your friends the homies yeah. click. um. y'all fight. love fighting. love it fighting is everything I'm sorry. I'm not a violent guy but the gun [ __ ]. is cool when it have to be would you. rather knuckle up oh God come on. beat my ass man. come on these kids a lot of kids today I. guarantee they never had a fight no. let's do it's too easy to pull that. strap though yeah I don't want no guns.

that's cool I can't I honestly got the. truth today I can't even see myself. reacting like that right so people just. people get real disrespectful but for me. man God gave me something that I had to. realize. The Power of Choice right Walker you. have a choice to allow to let this [ __ ]. bother you right I can't let y'all ball. I got too much you got too much skin you. got too much I don't put too much work. in right I'm 36 years old I'm too grown. to be a punk a [ __ ] Elaine right a. sucker that is I'm just gonna dip my boy. y'all y'all too aggressive like right. but you put this possum in the corner is.

going down right it's going up so when. you go back to your old hood man show. you love right I mean ain't no. disrespect coming from the hood No never. that but you know my thing is this right. my whole yo first of all my old [ __ ]. coming up was to make it out there. correct I'm not one of them [ __ ] gonna. be a billionaire and go sit in the hood. and roll dice and smoke weed right right. I want to buy the block right I want our. name on the Block right that's going. back to the hood okay but what stopped. me and what actually made me stop. hanging in the hood was Dick Gregory.

okay I watched this clip Dick Gregory. was like. [ __ ] why you buy this Rolls-Royce to. ride through the hood to show you the. richest [ __ ] that I can't buy. one and it's crazy because that's why I. bought it right I was young I think we. getting money on the South Side I'm. fixing to pull a phantom out here but I. was ignorant. and at the same time I could have bought. this condo downtown Atlanta that ride by. every day today right and it's [ __ ]. five times the volume right. the egg on my face right so when I seen.

Dick Gregory do that I actually got out. that car I ended up getting in the. Escalade and I've been driving escalate. ever since 2011. and I don't barely be. home like I don't cars to me are just I. start figuring out he's getting access. huh I mean I mean come on but we need. one to get from point A to point B but. at what point because you probably had. everything so now is it is it a means of. transportation or is it a means to get. attention you know what it was the. problem yo this should be crazy the. problem is like the things I want to be.

and growth to be I got this right 23. years old okay my I was sitting so high. on top of my Mountain I just kept. smelling something right it just smell. like manure I was standing on top of. [ __ ] Mountain I didn't have nothing I. didn't have no business I didn't have no. financial literacy I didn't have a. insurance policy I didn't know what. trust accounts was shell companies I. didn't know how to go buy tangible. businesses I didn't know nothing so I'm. like yo how am I this famous God and I'm. the big only and y'all respected me but.

I can't even tell you how to open up a. bank account. I didn't even know how to open up a bank. account sure I'm telling you I learned. that 23 years old like it's crazy like. I'm all respect to my mother my mother. didn't have time to teach you that she. was too busy paying bills right and. making sure we alive. so when I learned that part it felt so. good learning that like usually if I if. I want to run uh money up I have to go. on the streets now I got good credit. some holding companies I go give me a. loan right I don't get a loan right now. for 10 million dollars 20 man honey man.

it's just perspective right and a good. business plan it's easy so when you. start learning things like that why. would you be a edge monster right I know. anybody right now yo I don't care how. against you you are my boy if you start. learning this real business man. who I wish you would mind going I'm good. I'm not going nowhere with with all the. odds is against me I can't do that it's. stupidity so that's what made me stop. man I was on top of [ __ ] mountain and I. want to build Mount Everest right and I. knew it was all right here in my brain I.

got tired of just anytime I see a crowd. of black people I'm clutching if I get. around a bunch of Chinese guys or white. guys and this guy I'm kind of cool right. I'm like what the [ __ ] I'm like why am I. like that right I broke out of there I. want to I want to perfect me I didn't. want to be this person that was what. they want to say America once you get. off every black man say yo [ __ ] don't. judge black people I want to be me man I. said Walker how could you change. anything you can't change yourself how. could you change the world if you can't. change your family how could you change. your family if you can't change your.

neighborhood how could you change the. the country if you can't change the. state so you have to change you your. family your neighborhood then your state. so that's a lot of pillars mentally you. have to get to as a man so for me I want. to be that I'm not there's no such thing. as perfect that's why I'm going to. Perfection so uh that's how I live man. you say growing up you was good with the. hands did you ever think about becoming. a boxer of course. I was gonna do UFC oh that's a whole. different animal that no it ain't that's. that's bad in Boston I ain't got nothing.

to worry about but these and UFC you got. to worry about these oh yeah. that yeah. I'm with it. I can't I'm with it. [Laughter]. yeah especially if I messed up on. everything in life fool you better get. ready. boy this my only hustle right it's over. like I proved that in rap when rap was. my only hustle I'm ready I couldn't eat. rap I couldn't even tell you what a bar. was right metaphor is I still don't know.

how to do it I don't know how to count. none of that stuff but when this is my. only hustle I'm going to show you how to. win right like that's all it is you. spoke about your mom and she's helped. Nicki Minaj French Montana Yo Gotti what. what exactly did she do that she was. like man my mom got a real honest hustle. bro let me leave these streets let me. get me all this hustle yeah but besides. Yo Gotti but. you know my mother my superhero right my. whole life. are you the only child no okay we love.

our mother right like we I'm like my. mother's goon like I used to like. literally hide and follow my mother like. somebody's like Yo Miss Deborah over. here I'll go over there like I actually. watched my mother as a kid kicking. prostitution houses grabbing little. girls out of them right fighting pimps. like my mom was just a different breed. of a woman right so I just look like yo. how can I complain and it's a woman do. it right right and she just she. everything bro I wouldn't I I give. everything to my mother like in music it. was it was it wasn't a smooth ride but.

it could have been way worse if I didn't. have her around so if for you is Rap a. family business so nah nah hell no. so it's about to become a family. business but as as you saw your mom. doing what you do that you say she's not. your Hustler yeah she's a full-blown is. that where you get your hustle. definitely. definitely. well I see. see the truth so what how does she teach. you about business because you say you. didn't really know anything about. business but you saw her she had to have. a good game plan together because of.

some of these big artists although they. were probably starting at the bottom. they was entrusting her uh yeah the only. the problem with people entrusting. people you just don't trust yourself. right that's one. um I think my mother. she was a great teacher at showing you. what she do not explaining to you how to. do it right my mother she's the kind of. teacher that she want to see if the. students is bringing to the table and. not doing what she do so I automatically. knew I might go now I don't have a vocal. mother like she's straight Stone Cold.

with us right like she'd call them up. like you don't wake up going oh it's. okay that's your little stupid ass but. you'll get the [ __ ] out my house when. you get grown. that's devil I'm telling you she ain't. with no cookie cutting right so for me I. want to I said you know something Walker. this is what I'm great at I have to find. everywhere my mother's week at right and. filling for strength okay so it's like. why would I go do the same job she did. if she spent x amount of years to do it. I need to come here and build on it. right because I watched a lot of kids. from my neighborhood like black kids. everything their parents do they'll do. the opposite right and I never.

understood that I'm like yo if your. parents working for 20 years why won't. you build around them right so that's. all I did man I just I went everywhere. my mother needed feeling it. and handle it I'm a mama's boy excuse me. if I never had a girl out of state. living with my mother. how long has your mom been in the rap in. in the music industry sure now we've. been our friends have been connected to. music since. Run DMC wow like these folks all through. the house like any kind of artists I. just don't want any name and stuff I.

really don't like stuff right but I. promise to you. everybody was in my grandma's house. right all any rapper you probably could. think about well then if you saw that. growing up what made you want to go to. the hustle game if you saw that with. your what your mom I mean with your. grandmom and what you could become why'd. you go to office you say you don't. understand when you see kids you. obviously what their parents do but you. was doing the opposite. yeah you know I would love to answer. that question but. I can't.

we go you say you you tagged along with. Gooch but so when did when gooch. went to a club man is that when you. started rapping nah actually man I. started rapping because Gooch kept going. to jail in the beginning right like he. couldn't even stay out of jail for a. year straight he's like miscellaneous. stuff then he got to a point where. locally people was like oh Walker you. made I'm like I only got three thousand. dollars on my partner like so when I was. trying to do stuff that normally do. people look at him like man why you over. here bro you know you ain't got to do. this y'all lit right I'm like no I'm.

like we ate so it forced me to get in. the studio and become around I remember. when I was becoming I don't like you. right man you need to be a goon all. right what oh yeah yeah so I was like. hell no but in my head I'm like yeah I'm. about to make us big right we're not. about to fall right so that's all it was. it was about just picking the team up. and running right that's all I wanted to. do so the Brick Squad is your crew your. click so how did you come up with the. name how do you like okay this is what. we gonna do I I'm done with that all. that other stuff that I used to do I'm. done this is this is my tunnel vision.

because you seem like a very popular. like when you set your mind is whatever. it is good badly different will you set. your mind to something you going down. that road yeah you got us an army you. know I'm the guy that don't change. though I'm the guy that evolves right so. I just want to evolve it wasn't about. like what I did right not doing it I. evolved from that so how do you say we. came from a crew a clique to a company. right so organization correct so that's. what I want I might get walking you can. do it it's just like how could you not. do this man this is America. how do you argue how did you organize.

because you're like I'm making a million. [ __ ] mistakes. and and every another one broke you none. of nothing man break me how could you. break me I'm like there's nothing in the. World's Gonna Break me I could walk with. no arms and legs I'm still never gonna. be broken I got my mind man. so. how are you able to build a a fan base. so quickly. I guess genuine and realness. all you gotta do is be real be authentic.

I'll have none against artists today but. I never was the kind of artist to be. flashing guns and cameras and talking. about killing you all day and that ain't. my swag I couldn't do I had I had a. chance to do that right right like I had. a chance to make like. just manifesting murder is what I call. it so I had that manifesting Murder. music right but at the end of the day I. said yo I got a party still people like. oh walk are you switch it up with EDM. but I'm like yo I had that on my first. album right I was I just wanted to rock. with everybody right I wasn't I was.

entertaining right because I know I was. a [ __ ] rapper I'm Gonna Be the Best. Entertainer that's something I know. you're not gonna mess with me with I. know but when I came out and doing music. recession was out right yeah I think I. came out at 0809 right it was recession. right you know what I'm saying rappers. is on stage like being cool I came out. headbanging I and I see just from the. era of me coming I see what it created I. see now we're on festivals I used to be. the only rapping our own festivals right. they just like festivals the [ __ ] is. that I might just take pictures that. Festival he's like damn you got a big.

fan base I'm in America my label was. like yo I gave him this album called. friends fans and family they was like. nah we don't want this like what the. [ __ ] y'all want me to just keep talking. about killing people and girls sucking. my balls all day like that's crazy right. I got little brothers I got a little. hungry so I went overseas myself I ended. up me and me and while my friend break. we ended up going over there taking us a. cameraman that speak French learn. English through rap and we went all. through Europe all through Germany all. through Sweden everywhere and rocked all. the festivals and I because I've seen.

this quote there's like a picture say a. thousand things so all I did was just. keep taking pictures everywhere I was. down there paying for some on the. festivals to get on I didn't care I knew. I was a star once they see what I got. going on they're gonna love me so every. time I perform they're like yo we'll. give you 30 40 50 60 whatever to come. back yo you're amazing you're not like. other rap artists because American. artists had shitty names back then right. like American artists come charge a lot. of money and give a [ __ ] show right. that's they always said yeah so it was. pretty good well you came out you came. out hard in the prank oh let's do it so.

hard in the paint how did that come. about is that because like hey I'm here. I'm going hard oh yeah so this was hard. in the paint was I'll call like it was. expired inspired by LeBron James okay. LeBron James never was alive that song. would never be out right so I was like. damn yo LeBron my favorite player right. here yeah LeBron and KD so I'm like yo. you know I got you LeBron I know what. I'm gonna do I'm going I'm LeBron in the. streets okay and I had a mixtape called. LeBron flock of James yeah and that was.

the highlight song that it takes right I. want that to be an hour and she just. blew up and I know like. like I come from a background of. whooping there's no no whooping that's. your fault and I was like man if I go to. the jungles. that'll just put some connection with. the South and the West Coast so I came. to California I wanted to hang with. every gang it was alive here because I. wanted to unify it I was more of like a. Brotherhood kind of guy so I was like. [ __ ] if I could make it in the jungles. then I could touch la. I just wanted to touch them I just want. to let him know bro this [ __ ] bigger.

I mean bruh when you're in the studio. with these guys because I remember the. first time and I I'm gonna try to equate. it to something going to the Pro Bowl. and my quarterback I played with John. Elway but I go to the Pro Bowl and Dan. Marino and Warren Moon and Jim Kelly. later in my career I got Peyton Manning. and Tom Brady and I like okay and the. DBS are over there I'm like I got to put. my man I gotta I got to show why I got.

[ __ ] with the people that's the problem. today people don't [ __ ] with people they. just talk [ __ ] all day that's why all. this philosophical ass uh podcast is. coming out there [ __ ] put that. podcast in the neighborhood and talk get. the [ __ ] from behind the green screen. that's why I be trying to tell y'all.

[ __ ] they're doing like bro y'all too. young go touch people let the OG's do. that y'all got to touch people right. these people need that when I was young. rappers in ball pool it was coming to. our neighborhood it was it felt good now. people get on Instagram and get shooken. up I wish I would I still gonna talk. anywhere in the world man I don't care. how tough your old neighborhood is my. boy cause you just didn't see light yeah. it's just dark over there right when I. put a light bulb in that [ __ ]. it's going down right first come to. mosquitoes and everybody. do you ever get Riders blocked do you. ever get like damn.

I just they got to a point like man I. like my music I already put out [ __ ]. well I'll make it even more I can't and. it's hard to rap with people like what. I'm gonna rap about uh sleeping with the. bad [ __ ]. drink I don't drink lean I don't pop. pills I barely drain liquor I only just. smoke puff a little bit I can't rap with. somebody that's 18 years old what do we. have in common I'm not spending no block. I'm going I'm gonna erase that. [ __ ] if I got that's my mindset. so why would I I just don't got nothing.

God for my the guy that shot me I never. wanted to kill him either right every. opportunity in the world to do an engine. but you know who did it oh yeah. definitely but why kill him he made me. I'm a [ __ ] millionaire. did he have apologized I don't even want. it the bullet I deserved that bullet man. I'm telling them off I deserve that. [ __ ] because you got the bad man.

I deserve it but if you're gonna get a. job I teach them how to put the gun down. I deserve it man the [ __ ] I know today. man I can't be mad at nobody because it. helped create who I am today your debut. album you called it flockavelli named it. after Tupac yeah both of you I mean is. that because Tupac was shot he talks. about it you're not you know what I got. it from Tupac but I actually got it from. Machiavelli okay when I found out who. Machiavelli was the guy everybody winner. and you know what I'm saying he was just. the goddess [ __ ] on slept on but he.

was that guy yeah I felt like that in. hip-hop right. foreign. 30 years after Tupac and Biggie and we. still haven't we saw takeoff just. recently got killed yeah pnb Rock we see. trouble we see take I mean take off I. mean come on yeah I mean uh pop smoke I. mean these guys uh come on come on come. on give me something why why I can't. tell you why and I never want to speak. on nobody deaf but I could tell you this.

when God blessed you right. you have to change your ways you have to. evolve you have to it's all I can say. right I I just say wrong place wrong. time for these guys so when you I think. take off they say take off with with. with a uh. and they were you know rolling dice so. in other words once you ascend to a. certain level you got to leave that. alone oh yeah okay you can't go back to. the street and I know I don't think you. know we're all respect why would I Roll. dancing to somebody else that ain't on. my tax break.

it's liability that [ __ ] could happen I. ain't gonna lie I've been there we're. going back to the crib roll dice play. cards I don't gamble though but you know. what I do gamble with my business my. life I don't have driving around drunk. drivers and angry guys you know what. what it is uh Walker is that. I think I wanted to show that I'm bruh. I'm still Shannon I'm still the guy that. came from Glenville that you know. went to high school which I was in the. same classroom with a lot of you guys. some of you guys dropped out some of you.

have made it through I went to college. with I'm still me bro I don't look at I. was like I'm trying to show you that I. don't think I'm better than you yeah and. I felt that was the only way for me to. show that I wasn't better come back you. know what I'm saying I watch people die. every day like that that's why I never. beat him and it's crazy I grew up always. The Outsider. always. so even in my neighborhood growing I was. outside I'm a New York knicker like hey. what's up New York right so I'm never. from the neighborhood but I am. right I ain't got nothing to prove to.

y'all yo you could be like yo [ __ ] Walk. Lane he ain't allowed in the hood right. hey what the hood like what you talking. about [ __ ] I know I'm in my neighborhood. come over here you know I don't even. have that attitude I'm not rolling no. that's trying to get when y'all done hit. me I'm out like right I'm not not him. I know what outside really look like. well I know God was looking on me. because I didn't bought so many pieces. and set it out and bought gold and we're. gonna get a case of beer and hey we roll. the dice I play cards with them and then. hey but they look you know the thing I. can honestly say about my homeboys and I.

knew what a lot of them was doing like. hey bro I'm going back to the city I. want to ride to not shop you know what. we do I only want to put it like that. because if you get stopped and we got. they go hey you the big fish hey I hit. you up tomorrow or I'm about to go do. this I'll hit you tomorrow I'm like bro. good looking I mean you know I'm just. saying you know like I said I just think. I wanted to show them right I'm one of. the guys no I'm not I know I would I. wouldn't I was never one of them but I. wanted to show them hey even though. y'all see you boy on TV and I'm playing. I'm catching touchdowns I'm in the Super.

Bowl right I ain't changing I still got. respect I still got love for you you. know what's crazy it's like it's it's. what they call Street [ __ ] yeah that's. people that get money out the streets 24. 7. right and it's Street guys just guys. born in the streets right it's me I'm a. street guy I'm a hustler I'm not a. Trapper but I'm not allowed to sit out. here and sell drugs every day right so. [ __ ] know my face kudos to whoever did. it I never sold crack never sold cocaine. I never that's not my sway I don't I.

don't go tell you that everybody know. that but I'm not with that but I'm with. what I'm with though you get what I'm. trying to say but in life man it's even. like rappers they call everybody a. rapper but it's not there's not a lot of. rappers out today if you're a rapper. that means hip-hop pays your bills right. it's a lot of inspiring rappers these. people had to spend money to look like a. rapper and try to be a rapper right and. they are the people out here getting. into more trouble than the people that's. actually getting paid off hip hop so. that's just divide today I think that. they got to stop putting these guys in.

the same bracket how could you put an. upcoming rapping put a headline like. he's the new this guy what is the. respect that my man like these guys are. inspiring rappers rappers get paid off. this right inspiring basketball that's. like saying a guy that play in the park. is an NBA player so that's like [ __ ]. in OTS NBA players right that's like. kids in college are NBA players no they. inspiring NBA plays that's like these. guys as get around rappers they're. inspiring artists so it's a difference. you got to know the difference and I. think that's what a mental confusion. comes from from rappers and inspiring.

rappers they feel like they got to hang. around the guys that's inspiring and. that's when they go back to their old. ways or get tied into some old [ __ ]. right I'm not doing that if it's three. o'clock in the morning I'm not hanging. around a bunch of mean mugging ass. [ __ ] [ __ ] if you're not. smiling you're getting away from me. right that's my motto I'm like yo bro he. not smiling what's wrong with him they. get him some shots so he gotta go home. simple as that was real simple your. house got rid I mean I've never been in. the situation you see it on TV so you. how your home is rated you weren't home. but go but uh uh uh so what's it like so.

when you get to College hey red the red. dog's kick it in no oh Heron County back. then oh here we go they because they. thought my house had drugs and. prostitution ranking this I'm like. brother I'm a rapper like I'm a rapper. like I'm not afraid to think of a rapper. right for all that for you in the. streets you're right they thought that. was a front huh of course there ain't no. front I gotta look like selling weed a. crack of pills and I I'm getting paid. I'm making this 30s 40s 60s hundreds and. it's to go you do shows or go through.

walkthroughs or get paid like you wow. knew out we see gonna we're gonna get. released he played the racketeering game. charges people say snitch and normally. when the fans get the fans say that when. the fan will look when the fans come. knocking I don't know the fans never. touched my dog so [ __ ] I'm good but you. but you know but you know the face I. know of it yeah I don't know when the. alphabet boys come you know FBI gbi ATL. high five of them yeah what's up my wife. [ __ ] why ain't no criminal well I know a.

whole bunch of them yeah walk what up. man what's up my boy looks like a. goddamn Vegas bomb what up but what I'm. not that guy I take pictures with. anybody I don't I don't know I'm beyond. I read those [ __ ] I'll be reading like. damn that's what they be doing Gunner. got released Young Thug is still in damn. I know Phil thugs are hard working he's. one of the most hardest working artists. in my life right he loves music. but who knows like God bless their. situation I hope they learn from it man.

I pray they'd be better bigger and. better people right. I read where you said I wish I hadn't. started my rap career off talking about. guns and violence yeah. because man I was just seeing what it. did to everybody. I seen it I watched that she invented. drill music and all that before me bro I. would never see people doing like crunk. Gang Bang music right that's what I. wanted I created my style I like. something for this street [ __ ] in some. parties right and the [ __ ] just went to.

the left like everybody grow dreadlocks. I just watched them I watched everybody. parties anyway [ __ ] jump in the crowds. head banging moving around I watched it. I watched them have a cruel. [ __ ] on stage jumping around I. watched it I'm not saying they got my. watch they watched me do it okay he said. I'm saying and I seen how far it went. though it's a difference see due to me. and these young guys today see we two. different monsters right when I came up. you know what my most important piece of. my career was what my ogs okay so every.

song I was talking about big homies. these young kids today they they think. they the Big Homie and I'm here to tell. the lack of respect and I don't even I. don't care about that because I don't. even think about [ __ ] disrespecting you. I'm telling them young guys hey that's. your self-destruction button you got to. tap into of people growing and you go. you have to I'm telling you don't ever. let these people that's doing business. talk to you like you're a man because. you're not [ __ ] you young you they. gonna get you that way so for me I. always kept some older people around me. and I don't care what happened to my.

career or how I went it created who I am. today and I was the biggest blessing I. ever had in my life because I was raised. around OG it's rap music blamed for the. gun violence in the community no it's. the person hip-hop is not dangerous it's. the man that's what happened. my hip-hop career is not dangerous right. yeah. so let me ask you this. you rapping about this okay you try to. get you're trying to get to get not. noticed your debut album you you rap. about what you rap once you make it. should you stop should you change your. messaging I uh I'll tell you this [ __ ].

if you still around my gangsters you're. a lie you kept me I'll stop right now. because I ain't I can't do it I never. knew life you know I skydived I walked. down Barcelona I never knew this [ __ ]. exists right yo I never even went to. festivals before I came a rapper right I. was in the streets I never knew about. festivals I never heard of that [ __ ] you. got guys that street guys going to. festivals doing gangster [ __ ] that's. crazy what are you doing not bad no I'm. just telling you that's not my life man. my life is just it's not about drilling.

and killing and spending I'm not about. to kill y'all [ __ ] what are you talking. about bro why why do you think Hip-hop. is the only music genre that glorifies. killing its own. oh it's just a mental condition. it's just the way they see each other. like as it's an animal thinking they. because everybody's in survival mode. right so if you act as if you got to. survive only thing that acts like you. gotta survive as an animal animal yes. you see what I'm saying so once. everybody stop thinking that they gotta.

survive and live it's two different. perspectives I know I just got to live I. don't have to survive no more right so. these guys are just in survival. mentalities so that's why they got. animal instincts how do we get the. recording companies to stop exploiting. that because they pushed that. uh. how do you get them to stop doing it. yeah how many billionaires we got that's. rappers. we don't have to say oh we have well you. guys want to see Jay-Z. is a millionaire did it probably I think.

did it did he might be one. um Rihanna's not a rapper but she's a. billionaire. um. I mean I don't I think what's stopping. all these people that got all this money. hey I never touched 100 million I can't. wait right me either oh yeah I cannot. wait I'm to 100 million liquid not just. having 100 million I don't care 100. million I don't uh 100. million puzzle pieces I own 100 million. or something that's true but I asked you. this right what's stopping people that. got all this money just saying hey look.

y'all let's all put 100 million in. let's create a major label let's create. a Distribution Company. let's get our kids assigned to us not. about making money about keeping them to. survive do you do you believe uh that. you can make it without talking about. those things the drugs the guns the sex. the violence. can you can you have can you have a can. you have a rap career I just heard. Chance the Rapper okay I heard J Cole. guys though.

again it's what you glorify okay right. oh yeah that's just it's just that's. just life. you say you don't do that did you did. you ever do drugs did you ever do pills. did you ever do lean yes I was addicted. to ecstasy from 14 to 27. yes. did you go to rehab or you just thought. man I'm done with this done. so you ain't cold turkey no no no. intervention or nothing I find it weak. to depend on something else that you. created.

as a man right especially so I don't I. talked to a counselor for just a hair. perspective never to be a crutch again. God gave me something Choice a mind you. have to build on your mind like you. build on your basketball skills and I. want to overpower these [ __ ] I want to. overpower everything I just nothing. could beat my mind man I'm telling you. you and Gucci got Gucci was on the drug. got clean you and him had a falling out.

considering me and Gucci ain't been best. of friends since my first [ __ ]. mixtape y'all are better we always was. like this like but but I mean but you. know he started here you was. piggybacking or you was tailing the. truck what happened whatever term you. wanted I don't give a damn whatever they. want you what what happened. you said he didn't want you to rap he. wanted you to be that okay I ain't gonna. lie I'm over talking about it but it's. his life right I know I ain't do nothing. flaw right that's all I'm gonna say. right you get what I'm trying to say.

like but y'all but y'all y'all y'all. y'all cordial of course you man we good. okay but it's just like he doing. something totally different I wouldn't. move how he moved right I couldn't do. that I'm just sorry like he happy doing. what he doing right and [ __ ] I'm happy. doing what I'm doing right so if we ever. if it ever intertwines some in a time. and a place and hey it's just it's what. it is but he happy man and to me that's. all I ever wanted to see my dog happy. right so he happy being where he had I. don't got to be there right I cheerful.

[ __ ] a mile away I don't kill. um. your brother yeah committed suicide and. I thank you he before he did he call he. reached out you missed his call yeah. definitely. how did that impact you [ __ ] [ __ ] me. up bro okay let you know man just [ __ ]. you didn't know what your brother was. going through did you nah. and then let me know man I'm too into. myself. were they were there anyone inside this.

something that you could have picked up. on I could see because he was going. blind okay but again I couldn't see you. killing him so far right it was a. selfish act right I still ain't forgive. him for it to be honest so that's. probably a lot why I don't hurt me a lot. but. man that [ __ ] crazy man hey big question. I ain't gonna lie. yeah it's crazy I still ain't like deal. with I ain't put in the back of the. burner it's just like [ __ ] happened. you've had some friends also. yeah.

I had a friend I know now committed. suicide last year. yeah yeah I always meet people like this. is what it is I see my other little. brother brains on the floor got a head. ran over by my next door neighbor that. was drunk old white guy. and he never go to jail. it's life okay right I have to just it's. there's nothing gonna break me and beat. me down how do you how do you. I guess the word is cope I don't say you.

get over it that's the wrong word see. when you start attaching yourself to. these words you start falling with those. deal with it there's nothing to deal. with it happened right it's like saying. just move on so it happens yeah yeah. what you gonna do about it he gone. it's like having a cold [ __ ] machine. complaining cough yeah I'm gonna go get. some herb help me get over it but I. ain't complaining I'm gonna go fight it. so I complain after I'm done probably. deal with this I'm that I'm just I was. just built up to be like that you got to. deal with it there's no camera so is.

that is that is that why how and why. you're able to deal with things because. you've had a lot of trauma death in your. in your life my first superhero right my. father this guy's like it's a guy. probably built probably a little bigger. than you Bill but dark skin [ __ ]. right the the glory of God right he's. the he that [ __ ] right when I watched. this guy sitting in the hospital the. size of my pinky dying cancer. and I said God damn.

what the [ __ ] did my father do in life. to die in that bed with that. kind of sickness and then I had to grow. up and realize the kind of man he was. and that was his karma that's another. reason I didn't stay in the streets I. didn't want my comment to die in the. hospital to bed for Council that's why. I'm so big and healthy right now I just. I couldn't see myself being that so. watching my first superhero and my. second superhero was my cousin Kevin. Ford.

when I watched him go to jail for 25. years under 16 years old. crushed me just got out of jail he did. 26 years. it's my older cousin when I see [ __ ]. like this Bird crush me so to see guys. like that I'm good. facts you mentioned help you started. farming. how's it going and what are you growing. on your farm uh this year I haven't did. a lot on the phone because there's a lot. that I want to bring to it uh. it was people like yo we want to do TV. shows are you farming this and I had to.

cross all of them like listen y'all I'm. not doing this for like credibility. right the farm I got is it's more. it's more peace built we don't see a lot. of animals on it right okay we don't. smoke weed on this Farm we don't drink. liquor on this Farm. Smallville Yogi kind of thing it's more. of a piece it's man I'm telling you Sean. that was one of the best things I have. to my life right to touch Earth. and see what Earth come back and tell. you and for me bro a lot of people like. yo bro I love who you are today I'm like.

look my [ __ ] I'm not trying to act like. it feel good if you it stop you from. being indulging in a lot of food because. you see the process of how the food. gotta grow right like I was taught you. don't pull nothing out of Earth unless. you I'll ask to take it out of her knee. you put it back in so that's I love that. part about farming man so you you your. veggies or your veggies from from the. garden to the table yeah baby. why not why not so you don't you don't. you know you no longer eat meat oh you. yeah I'm about to Daddy I eat it and I'm.

Drinker I'm a conscious everything I. just want conscience and knowledge of. what I'm doing that's it I watch air. since you're a God watch a few times. rock your Bronco jersey right let's keep. it pipping you see what I'm saying so. it's guys like you that we get to watch. and be like damn I watch you in your. career right now really do [ __ ] you. should have been doing to your 30s let's. call Church on it right you see what I'm. saying but I'm watching that OG I'm like.

I got a little I got little brothers and. cousins at my artists right it's not you. let them have that hey man they the. truth so I need to move out the way. let them do it so you so your business. is now what are you what's what's your. business what are you what are you proud. of you got Trucking Company you got a. meat packing I tried uh truck and I did. that it's fun Airbnb yeah I can't do. airbnbs I cannot deal with my [ __ ].

brother in Atlanta right the truth so I. learned it a lot from I rather come from. a perspective where I could create a a. house that all everybody could be in. right and I'd rather eat I'd rather if I. made 100 slices of pizza I'm cool with. eating a slice of pizza in this pie this. pie this pie I eat a hundred a hundred. uh circles I got me 100 slices now right. and 100 different ways to eat so I. wanted to come from a bigger perspective. than not be on the ground with people. that actually need it right more than me.

I read that you lost a lot of money in. your rap career oh hell yeah how you but. did you blow did you blow it or did. somebody take advantage of you oh one. thing I never did was blow money okay. let's get back okay but yo my accountant. would show me like yo Walker you know. like 70 of your money you give it away. I'm like what are you talking about. she's like oh you the money you make 70. of it you give it to people. I'm like what the [ __ ] she was showing. me like I sent five thousand ahead of. this person this person this person this.

I don't know cowboys and [ __ ] that [ __ ]. you man you don't really QuickBooks your. account. if you can work QuickBooks you really. could do your thing. but be honest. but my account right now you're the. truth he's from Egypt my boy Sobe yeah. he got you straight oh boy he ain't no. joke he's straight he's straight Square. business. a red that you slept you were sleeping. in a hotel I Piedmont with your wife and. daughter yeah and you got a Rolls-Royce.

and a Bentley Park that side yeah my. face I still got that bill that's that's. my favorite I called my old school it's. a four-door Flying Spur that's my old. school yeah yeah but uh cream black. black matte black. so why the hell are you sleeping in the. hotel. uh. had to get out the house I was there I. couldn't get in the house my credit was. [ __ ] up. at a hotel for [ __ ] I had a good room I. spent like that's the mentality right.

you added the Waldorf story you and I. had the fourth season in the. presidential suite I want to be a little. more. yeah I was looking for a house at the. time right I was in that [ __ ]. for nine months yeah the whole look in. the hotel the hotel remodeled after I. got out of it hey yeah that's about 30. 25 000. then I bought two things a whole new. hotel yeah yeah and we go like hey. Walker the walking floor yeah.

so now. rap career business career. if you were to sit down with aspiring. rappers. or Guys somebody that was in the rap. game and says man walk I said how you. made a clean break from it you're not. rapping anymore you got all this going. on the business. how do you say what's the seminar. oh. they all different. they all know too yeah sure I'm telling. them on a bumper they be looking at me. like man ain't gonna walk man they be.

having that face like break here I'm. gonna give it to you bro right but the. most it just depends who they are I. always give them the game though so I'm. listening some don't and they come back. here it's like hey big bro you was right. man I should have man I'm like [ __ ] you. know now let's let's get it hey we can't. talk about what should what you should. have done let's talk about what you. needed they should tap in though right I. ain't gonna come to them but they should. type in right I'll meet him in the. middle I just react I just want to know. how the reality thing started how you. get how do you come how do they say how. do you come to USAA Walker check this.

out we got this idea we think you ought. to be on hip hop. I wanted it because I know how I know. how low level and low vibrating people. could be sometimes right so I knew if I. get on TV oh that [ __ ] broke. you know what I'm saying yeah they. wouldn't think of me doing genius stuff. then on another hand I'm like [ __ ]. my ex-wife now my wife at the time. excuse me I'm not sure she could have a. grill she could [ __ ] around to be bigger.

than me I'm not sure and I was also like. retired stuff I'm like I need to learn. business right then my daughter had a. platform like but I didn't think my. daughter's gonna be on TV she can't. stand that [ __ ] right but I'm just like. [ __ ] my my wife at the time she be lit. right like what if she started bringing. in an extra couple of million that [ __ ]. I helped us yeah so you see what I'm. saying so and that's what I wanted it. for. that's all and I was afraid to get on. television I didn't give a damn do you. think did that is that one of the. reasons why you and your wife divorced. because a lot of times when you you know. you see look you see these when you open.

yourself up to reality TV and you let. everybody see your inner workings it a. lot of times it ends up bad. ah that was me it was you I was just. young adult. I just. it was me man. whoever she say how she felt but as a. man. that's always Gonna Be Me. I mean you got a wife you raising a. child. but now under the Specter I mean there. are a lot of people that have wife and. kids but it's not in the public side. yeah but that's that see that's the.

thing it's tough right I was a brother. my son. a husband a father yeah a CEO yeah a. chairman of company. pay attention to my career protect my my. freedom my life and think of new. business ideas that's 10 things 11 I. gotta learn how to protect it 12 I got. to know what's going on I'm like [ __ ] is. it was a lot to handle right and nobody. understood how how something was going.

to fall short but then it got to a point. in my career where it was like yo. vodka like you enough is enough man you. got to like let go and I just got to a. point where I was like I can't handle. that [ __ ] it's all I'm tired of living. for everybody else right and I got tired. of seeing my my wife just live. live with his umbrella over her you know. what I'm saying I'm like yo be free my. [ __ ] like I love you to die you should. like whatever you go through in life I'm. still gonna help I'm dear it's nothing. like that's my dog right you know what. I'm saying one of my best friends like.

so it just it just it gets to a point. where you're like damn yo you chew too. much. I ain't fail at nothing it was just a. lot I just want to help everybody like I. just see a lot of people don't have the. kind of drive out here and I'm not. trying to hold it over you but [ __ ] it I. guess God did it for me to do it so. right you can learn from it and I. learned in that process you're pushing. people you can be pushing them to their. death. a lot of people don't can't afford to be. pushed right they at the edge in their. life right so I had to learn that as. well a lot of mistakes I made I didn't. want people to walk down certain Avenues.

because I was afraid they wouldn't make. it out how I did so I lied to them like. it's something else just so they ain't. got to do that right you know what I'm. saying so it's just a lot of [ __ ] that. went on in the middle. Bro you've had a you have a very. inspiring story to see where you came. from see that mentality that you had to. see where you are now in the. transformation that you've gone through. is nothing short of a miracle. congratulations on all your success. thank you stop thanks for stopping by. with the homie always.
