I've heard you talk about moving out of Baton Rouge and um you know I know that
you know you
had instances with like the the district attorneys there and stuff trying to
attach charges to you and
right you know there was a lot of what seemed like from what I've heard uncomfortableness
between you and the law enforcement there right maybe not exactly the cops but
the over the
overseers of them right um what is it about Atlanta that is makes life more
comfortable
do you think Atlanta respects superstars you know I don't stick out like a sore
thumb yeah uh
you got 20 superstars you know you got 30 yeah they had you they had C-Murder,
Silk the Shocker,
Master P and they had that tiger that's in the cage outside of the PMAC center
right right and most of
them from New Orleans yeah Baton Rouge is different from New Orleans Baton
Rouge is you know Birmingham
to Atlanta yeah yeah you know as far as racism as far as everything you know
that's the deep south
right so uh
in Atlanta it's different though in Atlanta it's different you know it's black
power
yeah oh dude I was on stage there a couple months ago I said damn it seemed
like black history month
started a city yeah that's what it seemed like yeah it's black power you know
black people own
things black people have well you see we have wealth you see a lot of black
policemen you see a lot of
you know and and and the police show me love man it's crazy man it's like it's
like they want to help
you you know I can't say that for everybody in Atlanta right but as far as the
officers I done ran into they
want to see me prosper man right I was in my Rolls Royce one day I'm slipping I'm
at the light I'm smoking
I'm high as fuck I'm slipping man I look to the side clear windows police
looking
at me he say boost he telling me to roll out the window I'm like fuck yeah I
know if he's telling
me to roll down the window and not pull off right I got it right right you say
I roll out the window
what up man man put that shit out man go ahead man that's what he told me put
the shit out man and
go ahead man take care of your damn family smoking weed out here like this man
that shit was like man
my heart just dropped yeah so that was you know they always see me and be like
they just give it up
to me bro there's more understanding they understand bro they understand that
you know I'm not I didn't
come to this city to be a problem they understand that I'm a businessman right
you know and wealth
two changes things man I noticed even just growing up in like we would go to
Atlanta sometimes to see
the sugar bowl or to visit an aunt that I had that lived there um occasionally
we would drive up to
Atlanta and it's a for me just as a you know I mean just a regular white person
pretty much but it was
the first city that I saw that had like black wealth in it you know like in
like a lot of I'm talking a
lot of money like the car will pull up to a place and you'd be like damn and
black people would get
I would be like what the fuck yeah you know it was just it was different it was
something that
you know I grew up in a small town it was black and half black half white but
and we didn't have
any wealth by us but you had just never seen that before you know like when I
was growing up the only
wealthy black Americans that I knew were like Dallas Cowboys you know what I'm
saying like there was a
couple people but you didn't see it you never saw it in your face I don't feel
like until Atlanta
right right they're right they they set a stage for a lot of shit because I
because when I went down
there and uh I'm a season ticket holder I know you are so uh you know I've been
going to NBA games
a minute and uh the first time I saw you know with a triple a floor seats you
know 70 percent black you
know sick you know and and that made me smile you know yeah you know black
black black black women
you know successful you know and we in these big boys seats and that and that's
a change of culture
yeah you know it's not like that in Louisiana you know it's not like that you
know it's not like that
other places is you know it the stuff I see with the black people out here it
makes it makes me proud
yeah proud to be black yeah yeah I can imagine it's totally different I mean I'll
just have my own
perspective but there is something that's it's exciting to see when you see oh
if this culture has money
they can have a comfortable existence right right right and and I don't mean
that of any judgment I
just mean right I feel what you're saying but uh I feel what you're saying and
they got a ghetto
everywhere they got a ghetto everywhere slums everywhere yeah it's just when
more people show
show value and wealth it makes other people want wealth and that cuts out the
bullshit right you
know what I'm saying you mean like it inspires younger people it inspires it
inspires people yeah because
everybody has a role model yeah and the role model is the more ones with the
most money so uh you know
it's more role models oh yeah I think like definitely more more role models in
Atlanta than a lot of
places you know yeah especially if I think for black kids you know I mean just
because like even if you
think like you know when I was growing up just like you would see uh people
come to the school and they
would say okay it's going to be career day at school somebody's dad is going to
talk about their career
right and it was always usually like if it was a doctor it was a white dot you
know what I'm saying
like if it was right but now I think especially in places like Atlanta you have
that it's different
you know like people come and it's all types of people come and have a career
and that gives a kid
sitting there like oh I can have this right it gives them a different
aspiration good evening good
afternoon and other times thanks for watching that video you just saw I mean it
was okay but the next
