475
00:22:05,733 --> 00:22:09,568
{\an7}\hI’m talking about my own
personal allotment for me.
476
00:22:09,568 --> 00:22:13,700
{\an7}\h\h\hMy own -- My rock.
A crack. One single rock.
477
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:15,502
{\an7}A crack.
478
00:22:15,502 --> 00:22:17,601
{\an7}\h\h\h\hYou gonna take me
to jail for a crack, sir?
479
00:22:17,601 --> 00:22:18,898
{\an7}That’s what you’re gonna do?
480
00:22:18,898 --> 00:22:20,931
{\an7}\hIt’s drugs, dawg.
It’s an addiction.
481
00:22:20,931 --> 00:22:22,700
{\an7}It’s not criminal.
\h\hDrop me off at
482
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:26,162
{\an7}the don’t-do-crack-no-more
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbuilding
483
00:22:26,162 --> 00:22:29,733
{\an7}and go fight the real crime.
484
00:22:30,601 --> 00:22:32,733
{\an7}’Cause that’s how you build
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe bridge.
485
00:22:32,733 --> 00:22:35,733
{\an7}’Cause the rift between
\hgood cop and bad cop
486
00:22:35,733 --> 00:22:37,667
{\an7}\h\hand the argument,
it just boils down to
487
00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:40,898
{\an7}who had a good interaction
\h\h\h\h\hwith the police.
488
00:22:40,898 --> 00:22:41,997
{\an7}That’s all it boils down to.
489
00:22:41,997 --> 00:22:44,261
{\an7}\hAnd if once a month,
you letting a nigga go,
490
00:22:44,261 --> 00:22:47,898
{\an7}you are creating allies
\h\h\h\h\hout the ass.
491
00:22:47,898 --> 00:22:51,535
{\an7}\h\h\h’Cause that’s who’s gonna
defend you at the next protest.
492
00:22:51,535 --> 00:22:53,063
{\an7}Who you think gon’ defend you
\h\h\h\hat the next protest?
493
00:22:53,063 --> 00:22:55,502
{\an7}You wouldn’t even need all that
\h\h\h\hBlue Lives Matter flag
494
00:22:55,502 --> 00:22:58,667
{\an7}if you just start letting niggas
go free once a month.
495
00:22:58,667 --> 00:23:01,898
{\an7}"We got to defund the police,
\h\h\habolish these police!"
496
00:23:01,898 --> 00:23:05,634
{\an7}"Hang on. Hang on, now, baby.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHang on.
497
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:09,667
{\an7}I had some crack on me
\h\h\h\hlast Thursday,
498
00:23:09,667 --> 00:23:12,030
{\an7}and that brother
\hjust let me go.
499
00:23:12,030 --> 00:23:13,832
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hLook, this is
a nuanced conversation
500
00:23:13,832 --> 00:23:17,733
{\an7}with a lot of layers to it,
\hand we just need to think
501
00:23:17,733 --> 00:23:19,733
{\an7}about what our forefathers
\h\h\h\hwould have wanted.
502
00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:22,634
{\an7}That’s all I’m saying.
That’s all I’m saying.
503
00:23:22,634 --> 00:23:24,865
{\an7}I’mma go smoke some crack.
\h\h\h\hI’ll be right back.
504
00:23:24,865 --> 00:23:26,337
{\an7}[ Inhales deeply ] Ow!"
505
00:23:26,337 --> 00:23:28,667
{\an7}[ Sniffs ]
506
00:23:32,964 --> 00:23:34,799
{\an7}’Cause that’s the rift.
507
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:36,832
{\an7}All these people have had all
\h\hthese great experiences,
508
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:38,964
{\an7}and then there’s a lot of people
who hadn’t had
509
00:23:38,964 --> 00:23:39,799
{\an7}a good experience.
510
00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:41,964
{\an7}\hLike, if you’ve had a good
interaction with the police,
511
00:23:41,964 --> 00:23:46,601
{\an7}\hespecially if you Black,
you can’t even tell nobody.
512
00:23:46,601 --> 00:23:51,337
{\an7}I had a life-changing run-in
\h\hwith a good cop one time.
513
00:23:51,337 --> 00:23:54,700
{\an7}It was 2003.
514
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:57,931
{\an7}I was in South Dakota.
515
00:23:59,337 --> 00:24:01,865
{\an7}Don’t ask why.
516
00:24:01,865 --> 00:24:04,129
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIt was money --
There was money there.
517
00:24:04,129 --> 00:24:05,898
{\an7}So I drove,
518
00:24:05,898 --> 00:24:07,898
{\an7}and I’m riding around
\h\h\h\hSouth Dakota
519
00:24:07,898 --> 00:24:10,129
{\an7}with Alabama plates.
520
00:24:10,129 --> 00:24:12,931
{\an7}Well, yeah, you already knew
\h\hthey was going to pull me
521
00:24:12,931 --> 00:24:15,195
{\an7}over on that.
522
00:24:15,195 --> 00:24:17,063
{\an7}I was in South Dakota.
523
00:24:17,063 --> 00:24:23,261
{\an7}And the cop pulls me over,
\h\h\h\h\hand I blow 0.07.
524
00:24:23,832 --> 00:24:26,667
{\an7}Which isn’t the legal limit,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbut it’s close.
525
00:24:26,667 --> 00:24:29,228
{\an7}I can feel the judgment.
526
00:24:31,832 --> 00:24:34,865
{\an7}It’s not the legal limit,
\h\h\h\h\hbut it’s close.
527
00:24:34,865 --> 00:24:36,997
{\an7}And it’s -20 outside.
528
00:24:36,997 --> 00:24:41,700
{\an7}It’s -20 degrees outside.
\h\h\hSo cold that I pass
529
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:44,228
{\an7}the first breathalyzer.
530
00:24:44,228 --> 00:24:46,304
{\an7}Like the wind -- the wind is
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hswirling
531
00:24:46,304 --> 00:24:48,370
{\an7}and is coming back through
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe tube.
532
00:24:48,370 --> 00:24:50,403
{\an7}\h\hAnd I blew -- [blows]
I blew through the tube,
533
00:24:50,403 --> 00:24:51,898
{\an7}I blew like a 0.01
\h\hthe first time
534
00:24:51,898 --> 00:24:57,030
{\an7}I looked at the cop. I was like,
"Well, I’m victorious."
535
00:24:59,096 --> 00:25:01,931
{\an7}\h\hAnd the cop was like, "Nah,
dawg, you gotta get in the car.
536
00:25:01,931 --> 00:25:04,096
{\an7}\h\hLet’s run it back.
Best two out of three.
537
00:25:04,096 --> 00:25:06,096
{\an7}Come on back."
538
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:10,898
{\an7}And I get in the car,
\h\h\h\hI blow 0.07.
539
00:25:10,898 --> 00:25:14,634
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAnd, the cop,
I can see him decide
540
00:25:14,634 --> 00:25:17,195
{\an7}whether or not he’s going to
\h\h\htake me in on this one.
541
00:25:17,195 --> 00:25:19,261
{\an7}And I start explaining
\hto him the situation.
542
00:25:19,261 --> 00:25:21,700
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI say, "Sir,
before you make a decision
543
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:22,964
{\an7}\hon whether or not
you gon’ charge me
544
00:25:22,964 --> 00:25:25,964
{\an7}with this buzzed driving,
\h\hdrunk driving thing,
545
00:25:25,964 --> 00:25:30,129
{\an7}\h\h\hI need to let you know
that I am a stand up comedian
546
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:31,964
{\an7}who drives from state to state.
547
00:25:31,964 --> 00:25:37,370
{\an7}My driver’s license literally
\h\his my employment permit.
548
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:42,228
{\an7}Without that, I cannot -- I will
effectively be unemployed."
549
00:25:42,228 --> 00:25:43,931
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I can see
the cop thinking about it.
550
00:25:43,931 --> 00:25:48,865
{\an7}The cop goes, "Alright, well,
here’s what we gon’ do, man.
551
00:25:48,865 --> 00:25:51,865
{\an7}Rather than take you to jail,
552
00:25:51,865 --> 00:25:55,096
{\an7}give me the keys to your car
553
00:25:55,096 --> 00:25:59,228
{\an7}and I want you to walk
\hback to your hotel."
554
00:26:01,370 --> 00:26:03,469
{\an7}-20.
555
00:26:05,129 --> 00:26:09,403
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTwo miles
or be unemployed?
556
00:26:09,403 --> 00:26:11,799
{\an7}Which do you choose?
557
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:13,898
{\an7}The walk! The walk!
558
00:26:13,898 --> 00:26:16,931
{\an7}\hThe walk! I said,
"T-Thank you, sir,"
559
00:26:16,931 --> 00:26:19,370
{\an7}and I fucking froze.
560
00:26:21,865 --> 00:26:23,733
{\an7}\hSome two miles in -20
might as well have been
561
00:26:23,733 --> 00:26:26,337
{\an7}40 miles. Like, it -- I almost
\h\h\h\h\hdied. I almost died.
562
00:26:26,337 --> 00:26:30,261
{\an7}But the next morning, I go down
to the front desk of the hotel,
563
00:26:30,261 --> 00:26:31,162
{\an7}and I’ll be damned --
564
00:26:31,162 --> 00:26:34,162
{\an7}\h\hthis police officer
was a man of his word.
565
00:26:34,162 --> 00:26:35,535
{\an7}At the front desk
was my car keys,
566
00:26:35,535 --> 00:26:38,931
{\an7}and he had them wrapped up in
a nice little Jesus brochure.
567
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:41,502
{\an7}I didn’t like that.
568
00:26:41,502 --> 00:26:42,799
{\an7}Now that, I didn’t like.
569
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:44,469
{\an7}’Cause he was treating me
\hlike I just needed AA,
570
00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:47,228
{\an7}and like, -- like I needed
\h\h\h\hJesus or something.
571
00:26:47,228 --> 00:26:49,261
{\an7}He had all the Bible verses --
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe little --
572
00:26:49,261 --> 00:26:50,502
{\an7}you know how, like,
\h\h\hyou get drunk
573
00:26:50,502 --> 00:26:53,931
{\an7}\h\hand they give you them "get
your shit together" brochures?
574
00:26:53,931 --> 00:26:55,997
{\an7}\h\h\h\hHe had my car keys
stuffed in a bunch of them
575
00:26:55,997 --> 00:26:57,436
{\an7}"get your shit together"
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbrochures
576
00:26:57,436 --> 00:26:58,865
{\an7}\h\h\h\hand I’m like,
"I don’t need Jesus.
577
00:26:58,865 --> 00:27:00,096
{\an7}I just need to use
\h\hmy turn signal.
578
00:27:00,096 --> 00:27:03,403
{\an7}\h\h\hIf I had done that,
we would have never met."
579
00:27:04,436 --> 00:27:06,502
{\an7}But that moment, man --
\h\hthat moment changed
580
00:27:06,502 --> 00:27:08,370
{\an7}my trajectory for the rest of
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmy life.
581
00:27:08,370 --> 00:27:10,436
{\an7}I never buzzed drive,
\h\h\h\hdrunk drive,
582
00:27:10,436 --> 00:27:11,898
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hnever did
anything of the like again,
583
00:27:11,898 --> 00:27:15,030
{\an7}and I didn’t have to go to jail
\h\h\h\h\hto learn that lesson.
584
00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:17,535
{\an7}And I’m thankful to that cop
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfor doing that.
585
00:27:17,535 --> 00:27:19,403
{\an7}Like, I really appreciate it,
586
00:27:19,403 --> 00:27:20,898
{\an7}and it’s a story I never forgot.
587
00:27:20,898 --> 00:27:24,162
{\an7}And it’s also a story
\hI could never share
588
00:27:24,162 --> 00:27:27,436
{\an7}at a Black barbershop.
589
00:27:29,337 --> 00:27:32,304
{\an7}They would run me out of
\h\h\h\h\hthe barbershop.
590
00:27:32,304 --> 00:27:34,129
{\an7}\h\hAs soon as I go in
the barbershop and say,
591
00:27:34,129 --> 00:27:35,931
{\an7}"I sat in the front seat
\h\h\h\hof a police car."
592
00:27:35,931 --> 00:27:39,228
{\an7}\h\hThey’d be like, "Aww,
get the fuck out of here.
593
00:27:39,228 --> 00:27:41,261
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMan, you lying.
You ain’t never sit no front.
594
00:27:41,261 --> 00:27:46,162
{\an7}0.07 and in the front seat?!
\h\h\h\hAww, shut yo ass up."
595
00:27:46,162 --> 00:27:47,469
{\an7}’Cause here’s the thing --
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hif you Black
596
00:27:47,469 --> 00:27:49,195
{\an7}and you had a good run-in
\h\h\h\hwith the police,
597
00:27:49,195 --> 00:27:52,865
{\an7}you’re basically the farmer
\h\h\h\hthat saw the alien.
598
00:27:52,865 --> 00:27:54,865
{\an7}That’s who you are.
599
00:27:54,865 --> 00:27:56,964
{\an7}That’s how you sound. You sound
\h\hlike the farmer who saw --
600
00:27:56,964 --> 00:27:59,502
{\an7}"I’m telling you what I saw!
\hIt was some bright lights.
601
00:27:59,502 --> 00:28:04,931
{\an7}\h\hSomething grabbed me,
then it just let me go."
602
00:28:06,337 --> 00:28:10,195
{\an7}Like, man, shut yo ass up.
603
00:28:14,195 --> 00:28:16,964
{\an7}The last Black person to have
\h\h\ha positive interaction
604
00:28:16,964 --> 00:28:20,337
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith the police
and speak about it on the record
605
00:28:20,337 --> 00:28:22,261
{\an7}is Ice Cube.
606
00:28:22,261 --> 00:28:26,304
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h"Just yesterday,
them fools tried to blast me.
607
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:27,931
{\an7}Saw the police and they..."
608
00:28:27,931 --> 00:28:30,096
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAudience:
"Rolled right past me."
609
00:28:30,096 --> 00:28:33,370
{\an7}That was 30 years ago, y’all.
610
00:28:34,469 --> 00:28:38,436
{\an7}And we never forgot
\h\h\hthat one cop.
611
00:28:38,436 --> 00:28:39,898
{\an7}And he didn’t even do shit to
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIce Cube.
612
00:28:39,898 --> 00:28:42,063
{\an7}He ain’t pull him over
and give him ice cream.
613
00:28:42,063 --> 00:28:43,634
{\an7}He just let him go.
614
00:28:43,634 --> 00:28:45,228
{\an7}Ice Cube was sitting at
\h\h\h\h\ha red light,
615
00:28:45,228 --> 00:28:46,997
{\an7}that cop saw Ice Cube
\h\h\hand drove off,
616

00:50:01,463 --> 00:50:03,869
{\an7}My dawg, Johnny Lee, man.
1079
00:50:03,869 --> 00:50:09,001
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hJohnny Lee, that’s an
Alabama-ass name for your ass.
1080
00:50:09,001 --> 00:50:10,397
{\an7}She said, "Not Johnny Lee."
1081
00:50:10,397 --> 00:50:13,704
{\an7}Yes, baby, Johnny.
\hDo you know him?
1082
00:50:13,704 --> 00:50:16,034
{\an7}Yes, Johnny Lee.
1083
00:50:17,628 --> 00:50:20,430
{\an7}My dawg, Johnny Lee, man,
he was the getaway driver
1084
00:50:20,430 --> 00:50:23,628
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin a robbery
that turned into a murder.
1085
00:50:23,628 --> 00:50:27,562
{\an7}He didn’t pull the trigger,
\hwasn’t even in the store,
1086
00:50:27,562 --> 00:50:31,001
{\an7}but state of Alabama
\hgave him 99 years.
1087
00:50:31,001 --> 00:50:33,595
{\an7}\h\h\hAnd I don’t know
what the laws are here,
1088
00:50:33,595 --> 00:50:35,298
{\an7}\h\h\hbut in Alabama,
the law’s basically,
1089
00:50:35,298 --> 00:50:40,397
{\an7}if I’m with you and you murder,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwe murdered,
1090
00:50:40,397 --> 00:50:42,968
{\an7}which damn that.
1091
00:50:42,968 --> 00:50:44,067
{\an7}They murdered.
1092
00:50:44,067 --> 00:50:46,331
{\an7}\h\h\hAnd I understand
the spirit of the law.
1093
00:50:46,331 --> 00:50:48,595
{\an7}It’s to make you watch
\hthe company you keep,
1094
00:50:48,595 --> 00:50:49,671
{\an7}but it’s a lot of court systems,
1095
00:50:49,671 --> 00:50:52,671
{\an7}\h\hthey use that law to lock up
two people for the price of one,
1096
00:50:52,671 --> 00:50:54,562
{\an7}and it don’t feel right.
1097
00:50:54,562 --> 00:50:59,869
{\an7}It don’t feel right.
1098
00:51:01,737 --> 00:51:04,562
{\an7}It’s the same thing with drugs.
\h\hThe same thing with drugs.
1099
00:51:04,562 --> 00:51:06,496
{\an7}Like, if I’m with you
\hand you got crack,
1100
00:51:06,496 --> 00:51:08,430
{\an7}somehow we got crack.
1101
00:51:08,430 --> 00:51:10,803
{\an7}\hHow we both got crack?
It’s one -- It’s a crack.
1102
00:51:10,803 --> 00:51:15,562
{\an7}\hWe cannot both
smoke...a crack.
1103
00:51:15,562 --> 00:51:17,935
{\an7}You’ve seen the crack pipe.
\h\h\hIt’s one mouthpiece.
1104
00:51:17,935 --> 00:51:19,034
{\an7}We can’t...
1105
00:51:19,034 --> 00:51:20,430
{\an7}There is no couples
\h\h\h\hcrack pipe.
1106
00:51:20,430 --> 00:51:26,067
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLike, we cannot
Lady and the Tramp the crack.
1107
00:51:27,496 --> 00:51:29,836
{\an7}Look, I can see if they found
\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha crack hookah.
1108
00:51:29,836 --> 00:51:32,902
{\an7}Okay, fine, you got me.
1109
00:51:34,803 --> 00:51:37,133
{\an7}Tell me, can you smoke crack in
\h\h\h\ha hookah? I don’t know.
1110
00:51:37,133 --> 00:51:39,902
{\an7}We’ll talk about it later.
1111
00:51:41,671 --> 00:51:43,803
{\an7}But that’s the law.
1112
00:51:43,803 --> 00:51:45,562
{\an7}\h\h\hSo 99 years
was the sentence,
1113
00:51:45,562 --> 00:51:46,595
{\an7}and I know that part of it --
1114
00:51:46,595 --> 00:51:48,628
{\an7}I know that part of it
\h\his who they killed.
1115
00:51:48,628 --> 00:51:50,737
{\an7}They killed this man,
\hMr. Mohammed, man.
1116
00:51:50,737 --> 00:51:53,529
{\an7}\h\hAnd Mr. Mohammed,
he ran a Black-owned
1117
00:51:53,529 --> 00:51:56,496
{\an7}record store in Birmingham.
1118
00:51:56,496 --> 00:51:57,869
{\an7}Killed a Black business owner,
1119
00:51:57,869 --> 00:51:59,869
{\an7}This man ran this record
\h\h\h\hstore for years,
1120
00:51:59,869 --> 00:52:01,869
{\an7}this assault to the comm--
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSidebar.
1121
00:52:01,869 --> 00:52:06,628
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYoung people,
a record store is a place...
1122
00:52:07,869 --> 00:52:09,770
{\an7}In the before times,
there was a building
1123
00:52:09,770 --> 00:52:11,869
{\an7}\hyou would go to
to buy the music.
1124
00:52:11,869 --> 00:52:14,595
{\an7}It did not just come
\h\h\hto your phone.
1125
00:52:14,595 --> 00:52:16,968
{\an7}You had to go to a building
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand you say,
1126
00:52:16,968 --> 00:52:19,704
{\an7}"Do you have the music?"
1127
00:52:19,704 --> 00:52:21,034
{\an7}And then they would
\h\hsay yes or no,
1128
00:52:21,034 --> 00:52:24,628
{\an7}and then you would
\h\hleave the mall.
1129
00:52:24,628 --> 00:52:27,529
{\an7}A mall is a place...
1130
00:52:28,770 --> 00:52:31,199
{\an7}...where there used to be jobs
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand happiness.
1131
00:52:31,199 --> 00:52:33,430
{\an7}It was a dope spot.
1132
00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:35,628
{\an7}Old people would come there
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand exercise.
1133
00:52:35,628 --> 00:52:38,034
{\an7}It was a good hang.
1134
00:52:39,968 --> 00:52:41,463
{\an7}Mr. Mohammed, man.
1135
00:52:41,463 --> 00:52:42,737
{\an7}Mr. Mohammed took the money
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hhe made
1136
00:52:42,737 --> 00:52:45,067
{\an7}\h\h\h\hfrom that record store,
and he would pour it right back
1137
00:52:45,067 --> 00:52:46,595
{\an7}into the Black community
\h\h\h\h\hin Birmingham.
1138
00:52:46,595 --> 00:52:50,133
{\an7}He would -- Mentorship programs,
police athletic leagues,
1139
00:52:50,133 --> 00:52:51,704
{\an7}he’d buy blazers for kids
1140
00:52:51,704 --> 00:52:53,737
{\an7}to wear to job interviews,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hall that.
1141
00:52:53,737 --> 00:52:56,100
{\an7}\h\h\hThis is how much
he loved Black people.
1142
00:52:56,100 --> 00:53:00,034
{\an7}He supported local rappers.
1143
00:53:00,902 --> 00:53:05,628
{\an7}Sidebar -- White people,
\h\h\h\hlocal rappers...
1144
00:53:05,628 --> 00:53:08,133
{\an7}are terrible.
1145
00:53:08,133 --> 00:53:12,001
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAnd their dreams
should never be supported.
1146
00:53:13,704 --> 00:53:15,067
{\an7}98 percent of the rappers
1147
00:53:15,067 --> 00:53:16,562
{\an7}from where you live
\h\h\hare terrible.
1148
00:53:16,562 --> 00:53:19,067
{\an7}They are not going to make it.
1149
00:53:19,067 --> 00:53:21,836
{\an7}But Mr. Mohammed, he supported
\h\h\h\h\hthem because he knew,
1150
00:53:21,836 --> 00:53:25,166
{\an7}if they was in the studio,
they wasn’t on the street.
1151
00:53:25,166 --> 00:53:27,166
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hSupported them,
and I mean supported them.
1152
00:53:27,166 --> 00:53:29,968
{\an7}Gave them prime real estate
\h\h\h\h\hin the record --
1153
00:53:29,968 --> 00:53:31,935
{\an7}would put their albums
\h\h\h\hby the register
1154
00:53:31,935 --> 00:53:35,496
{\an7}\h\hwhere you could see it,
then guilt you into buying
1155
00:53:35,496 --> 00:53:36,628
{\an7}and supporting local.
1156
00:53:36,628 --> 00:53:38,232
{\an7}You’d show up -- I’d show up
\h\h\h\h\hto the record store
1157
00:53:38,232 --> 00:53:40,496
{\an7}to buy Cash Money and Master P
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hor whatever,
1158
00:53:40,496 --> 00:53:42,935
{\an7}and he’d then size you up --
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h"Oh, okay.
1159
00:53:42,935 --> 00:53:44,671
{\an7}You supporting New Orleans,
1160
00:53:44,671 --> 00:53:48,968
{\an7}\h\hbut I don’t see you
supporting Birmingham."
1161
00:53:48,968 --> 00:53:51,935
{\an7}Stare at you with them
\h\hCivil Rights eyes.
1162
00:53:51,935 --> 00:53:54,100
{\an7}"Hmm?
1163
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:54,869
{\an7}Hmm?
1164
00:53:54,869 --> 00:53:57,671
{\an7}You buying all these
out-of-town rappers.
1165
00:53:57,671 --> 00:53:58,770
{\an7}You ain’t even bought the new
1166
00:53:58,770 --> 00:54:03,166
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h’Buckle Up,
Knuckle Up Volume 2.’"
1167
00:54:03,166 --> 00:54:07,935
{\an7}I’m like, "Who the fuck is
\h\hBuckle Up, Knuckle Up?
1168
00:54:07,935 --> 00:54:09,902
{\an7}\h\hI didn’t even know
they had a volume one."
1169
00:54:09,902 --> 00:54:12,628
{\an7}"I got that one right here, too,
young blood.
1170
00:54:12,628 --> 00:54:14,133
{\an7}Ain’t no thing.
1171
00:54:14,133 --> 00:54:14,770
{\an7}Mnh!
1172
00:54:14,770 --> 00:54:17,133
{\an7}Support both of them, hmm?
1173
00:54:17,133 --> 00:54:18,902
{\an7}Hmm?"
1174
00:54:18,902 --> 00:54:24,869
{\an7}You leave the record store with
\h\h\h\h\h\h$80 worth of music.
1175
00:54:24,869 --> 00:54:26,265
{\an7}Supported me.
1176
00:54:26,265 --> 00:54:27,133
{\an7}That store supported me.
1177
00:54:27,133 --> 00:54:29,067
{\an7}I used to do prank phone calls
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hback in the day.
1178
00:54:29,067 --> 00:54:30,902
{\an7}\h\hPrank phone calls
was my first hustle.
1179
00:54:30,902 --> 00:54:32,671
{\an7}The people who know, they know.
1180
00:54:32,671 --> 00:54:36,001
{\an7}So they would take my pranks
\h\hand put them in the store
1181
00:54:36,001 --> 00:54:37,803
{\an7}\h\h\hand help me sell them,
and that little bit of money
1182
00:54:37,803 --> 00:54:39,968
{\an7}\h\h\hthat I made in that store
from selling them prank calls,
1183
00:54:39,968 --> 00:54:42,331
{\an7}\h\hthat was the difference
between sleeping in my car
1184
00:54:42,331 --> 00:54:45,133
{\an7}and sleeping in a hotel
\h\h\h\h\hon the road.
1185
00:54:45,133 --> 00:54:46,671
{\an7}Like, that money...
1186
00:54:46,671 --> 00:54:48,001
{\an7}[ Applause ]
1187
00:54:48,001 --> 00:54:49,902
{\an7}It ain’t a lot of money,
1188
00:54:49,902 --> 00:54:52,397
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h’cause it was either
Mr. Mohammed or his son, Darius.
1189
00:54:52,397 --> 00:54:53,671
{\an7}It was usually his son, Darius.
1190
00:54:53,671 --> 00:54:54,968
{\an7}\hDarius was the one
who would call me up
1191
00:54:54,968 --> 00:54:57,836
{\an7}\h\h\h\hevery week to give me
the count on Monday morning.
1192
00:54:57,836 --> 00:54:59,671
{\an7}You wanted a call from
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDarius
1193
00:54:59,671 --> 00:55:02,232
{\an7}\h’cause that means you
have some bread coming.
1194
00:55:02,232 --> 00:55:06,166
{\an7}"Hey, young blood,
\h\h\h\hgood news.
1195
00:55:06,166 --> 00:55:08,803
{\an7}You sold three.
1196
00:55:08,803 --> 00:55:13,803
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome on down here
and get your $18, young blood."
1197
00:55:13,803 --> 00:55:15,704
{\an7}And I raced to that store
\h\h\h\h\hto get them $18
1198
00:55:15,704 --> 00:55:20,265
{\an7}because that little bit of money
saved my life, dawg.
1199
00:55:20,265 --> 00:55:22,331
{\an7}That store supported people.
1200
00:55:22,331 --> 00:55:24,133
{\an7}[ Applause ]
1201
00:55:24,133 --> 00:55:25,968
{\an7}And that’s who they killed.
1202
00:55:25,968 --> 00:55:28,397
{\an7}That’s who they killed,
\h\h\h\hand I don’t --
1203
00:55:28,397 --> 00:55:30,265
{\an7}I’m not gonna sit here
\h\h\h\h\hand say that
1204
00:55:30,265 --> 00:55:33,331
{\an7}20 years is enough time,
1205
00:55:33,331 --> 00:55:37,067
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hbut I know 99
ain’t the number either.
1206
00:55:37,067 --> 00:55:38,133
{\an7}So I called up Darius.
1207
00:55:38,133 --> 00:55:39,671
{\an7}I called up Mr. Mohammed’s son,
1208
00:55:39,671 --> 00:55:41,331
{\an7}I called up Darius,
\h\hand we’re cool,
1209
00:55:41,331 --> 00:55:43,133
{\an7}but we don’t talk
\hon the regular.
1210
00:55:43,133 --> 00:55:44,034
{\an7}But we’re cool enough.
1211
00:55:44,034 --> 00:55:46,133
{\an7}\hAnd I call up Darius,
and I start walking --
1212
00:55:46,133 --> 00:55:47,836
{\an7}\h\h\hwalking him through
what I’m thinking about,
1213
00:55:47,836 --> 00:55:48,902
{\an7}trying to get Johnny Lee --
1214
00:55:48,902 --> 00:55:50,704
{\an7}\h\htrying to get him
eligible for parole.
1215
00:55:50,704 --> 00:55:52,968
{\an7}And Darius stopped me dead
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin my tracks.
1216
00:55:52,968 --> 00:55:55,067
{\an7}\h\h\h\hHe said,
"Roy, if that man
1217
00:55:55,067 --> 00:55:59,869
{\an7}\h\h\hgets out of prison,
it’ll kill my mama, too."
1218
00:55:59,869 --> 00:56:03,397
{\an7}And that’s something I had never
considered in the whole time
1219
00:56:03,397 --> 00:56:05,430
{\an7}that I’ve been thinking
\h\h\habout doing this,
1220
00:56:05,430 --> 00:56:07,463
{\an7}\h\h\hbecause the thing is
that once you get locked in
1221
00:56:07,463 --> 00:56:10,133
{\an7}on something and what you want

'cause not only did
he bite this child,

how diabolical that is?

This is a bite.
This is an intimate attack.

This ain't throwing a rock
from across the park.
