As a tapestry woven from the raw, unfiltered threads of street life and personal ambition, this episode stitches together a narrative as rich and complex as the communities of Connecticut and Staten Island. Amidst the cacophony of fatherhood and the echoes of dreams deferred, we pay homage to the resilience of fathers striving for balance. Special guest Mali from Hartford brings the heat, dissecting the city's cultural metamorphosis and the scars left by violence on the fabric of community ties. From the turntables of Mali's DJ father to the pulsating beats of Hartford's music scene, we trace the rhythm of change from the '80s to the '90s, painting a portrait of a community's indomitable spirit.
The spotlight then swivels to the serendipitous birth of 'Live from the Gutter', my brainchild and entrepreneurial leap in Staten Island. Join me as I recount the heady days of conception, the adrenaline of nurturing a media presence, and the sobering reality check that fame can be a double-edged sword. A brush with danger, averted by the quick-witted Miah; the underbelly of local gangs juxtaposed with peace efforts; the ironies within crisis management organizations – these are the threads that weave the tapestry of Staten Island's complex narrative.
Our 25th episode crescendo brings us into the fold of a candid conversation, a celebration of the topics that resonate with us: the allure and pitfalls of social media personas, the intricacies of family life, and the culinary and cultural shifts in Hartford. We revel in the pursuit of podcasting and music engineering, sharing the desire to carve out a space of creative autonomy. Together with Mali, we raise a glass to authenticity, storytelling, and the shared journey toward delivering content that pulsates with the lifeblood of sports and the true essence of our streets.

Yeah, report, live from the gutter man, hell, my man, half foot lifelong resident. Talk to me my man. Oh, talk to me my man. Now. Talk to me what they call you out here, man.
Speaker 1:They just called me Mali. My man, it's simple, I just keep it moving. I mean regular Deville and me, my man Mali.
Speaker 2:I met Mali and passing and we've been good friends since I decided to have them pull up and you know, just vibe with me, talk to me about life in Connecticut, life in half it, man, what it's like, what it's like out here, what it's what it's like what it was like for you growing up out here.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna lie man growing up in half it. It was what I made it. Yeah, I mean, like motherfuckers is exposed to different shit. A lot of people got similar situations and whatnot. Some people might have it better, but yeah, I mean, you're not gonna see it. Some people gonna have it worse and definitely gonna see it, yeah, I mean. So I mean it's a blended mix. Yeah, I mean, like why grew up like the neighborhood was? It was mixed. You know how the 90s is. Like everybody behind me, anybody was outside, outside, all the motherfucking time, yeah, day, every day.
Speaker 2:I wasn't really outside in the 90s, not yet I was too young. You know I'm saying how old are you? 33?
Speaker 1:that's crazy, I was outside man, I was outside. It's just yummy, like half of the 90s man. Like, like I said, you got a blender, anything. You got the good, you got the bad. You got to mix anything half of small yeah, it's not that big, 13 square miles but the mix of that. You probably got like 20, 30 different neighborhoods that you could lay out this shit like I ain't gonna lie, like my pops got a legit Matt coffee was a murder capital before.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, more than once, few times, few times yeah, it's lit, it's.
Speaker 2:It's not gonna twist it.
Speaker 1:It's wet and hot, but maybe it was in the 90s, was early 2000s for sure, because I lost quite a few people in the early 2000s couple of the cousins and whatnot you lost people.
Speaker 1:That's here too right or last year, last year, last year, last year, last year, yeah man, shit, crazy, crazy. Even with that being said, like, yeah, I mean you look at losses kind of differently. I mean it's just based off of where my fuckers was acting in their lives and whatnot. Yeah, I mean like I've lost people in my life, was like I was child, her friends, you know. I mean we might have just lost touch and my fuckers passed in the doghood. Yeah, I mean like you got those memories but you can't sit here and say you know what, I'm all fucking know the motherfuckers I mean. Yeah, I mean you know the memories that you got with the exactly, exactly and you can hope it's the same, exactly.
Speaker 2:I certainly agree with that, but I come from a bigger city. No, no, I know, I know, I know Staten Island and in comparison, staten Island to Halflet, it's not much different. No, it's not, it's not it's not really different.
Speaker 1:Like, don't like, believe me, like as a kid, like my dad was a DJ I mean my dad still DJ's to the day on its leisure, which, yeah, I mean was, if it's fun for you, was fun for you. Yeah, I mean yeah, but like back in the 80s, early 90s, like he was a big DJ. Like one of the biggest DJ's are Hartford. Yeah, I mean one of the first DJ's to DJ clubs in New York and whatnot. Because the Hartford DJ's, connecticut DJ's as a whole, they wasn't really getting love in the city in the 80s, early 90s. Yeah, I mean like motherfuckers was going out there but it wasn't getting booked out there. Like, yeah, one of the first ones to get regularly booked in the city. Yeah, I mean love. It's like it really is love. You got a lot of New York DJ's that come out here.
Speaker 2:I mean family, crack, g, perfect and they get love out low out here and they get the love back at home.
Speaker 2:Exactly it'd be like that, bro. It'd be like that even with this podcast here. Like this originated in Staten Island and it died in Staten Island, you know. And then I came out here and I went through a good two, three years of building and finding myself in Connecticut and then, once I felt comfortable enough, which was recently October 27th, I started it back up and now we we here is February 25th and I'm 25 episodes deep already.
Speaker 1:That's not working. My mother's got to look at like this like reputations don't follow a nigga. I mean, like you can build a brand new reputation in the brand new place. Yeah, nobody knows.
Speaker 2:I mean definitely, definitely. Yeah, my reputation has definitely followed me, though my reputation proceeds itself. I'm pretty well-known, you can see. You see the tactics that.
Speaker 1:I mean everybody to an extent Google a boot. Yeah, I mean, if motherfuckers got some shit, anybody can find it. Anybody, everybody knows everybody, especially through social media. Yeah, whole six degrees of separation. Shit like nigga, you were DM away. I mean DM away, that's like perfectly, you're fucking.
Speaker 1:DM away, so it's like everybody can't touch for anybody. You don't got to know. Niggas to know about me exactly. What would that be a cell like if you went to new place and you just trying to build something like motherfuckers is gonna see what you trying to build rather than who the nigga is. Niggas to do the research later and be like oh, I, absolutely, I agree with that, this is, this is what this nigga did, but the same with this motherfucker doing exactly this is what he's doing there, so this we could get into story time.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna do a story real quick, share, share an interesting story with you, called well, what I'm doing is I have the Ali Carter show you've been following yep, yep, yep and what I'm doing is occasionally I'll do a story time in the Ali Carter show and that's been getting great feedback. So I did story time with my partner over and that's. His name is Stax and his story time was pretty much you know about how I met him and the legend of who he is. But a story that I was in the middle of was a story time with reflex radio and that's how a lot from the gutter got his start. So, okay, okay, I'll share that story with you. We go back into. Let's get the phone so he could have straight facts that this way okay boom.
Speaker 2:November 2020, scribner Avenue, new Brighton, staten Island, e. At this point in life, I would say life is good, life is incredible. The goat just got locked up. He's on his way to shock. Well, he's not on his way to shock yet. He's on his way to like also something you know processing so he could start shock. And I got the keys to the whip.
Speaker 2:So I am stepping in and filling in the roles of the goat in Staten Island and that's mighty large shoes to fill. You making play, please. Yeah, it's mighty, mighty, mighty large shoes to fill and it's a lot of pressure. You know, I got a lot of different things going on, cuz I'm helping him manage his business, his businesses, and then I have my businesses that I'm managing as well, and I also have, you know, britney's business. I'm helping her build, at that point in time, work. So I want to say at that point in time, I'm very, very loved in the city. I'm like a hero of some sort, you know, like a hero with folktales, but, um, yeah, so I start seeing ads for Reflex radio and Joe Parker's advertising this on Facebook, and I'm pretty big on Facebook, so I'm like, alright, cool, this is a, this is good, this. This podcast, then, could be what ties everything together, because I have baked wakata, I got trippy NYC, I got trippy streams, I got trippy trips, I got Elliot, carter's denim and co. I got a lot going on. So the podcast could be with ties that all together. And plus, I love speaking. I have a. I have a big thing with vernacular. You know I'm saying so cool.
Speaker 2:I hit Joe Parker, we started we start the process of creating the podcast. I hit the goat up on J pay. I let the goat know what's up. I tell him I'm thinking to start a podcast. You know I need some ideas and shit like that for the title. His first email back he told me I like live from the gutter. So we stuck with it from there. We got that. We got the ball rolling. I got Adam Jensen on on deck, I got swimming on deck and that was the creation of the dream team. Then, you know, I got some some ties in the prison system. So that's how I linked up with London and we got London for London's legal corner shout out to London.
Speaker 2:So season one was very short lived. It was four episodes and it was a four episodes at reflex radio and that's where Adam Jensen was, I want to say he was really the one running everything. Well, he was the one running me and I was running everything. So he's the one to final say you know, I'm saying but I'm the one that go out there and operate and do what was told. That lasted four episodes because at that time I started my valenius actions of you know, just spazzing on social media and the tactics that you see today.
Speaker 2:Eventually it led to niggas being outside my crib with chops. You know I'm saying I'll come outside. I know it's called me a messenger and everything. They just standing on my car and everything. They got chops. They call me, they got the guns in the phone and shit.
Speaker 2:And I'm like I'm looking out the window because I'm in many zoom. My room is the back room, many rooms, the front room. I can see my car from a zoom, so I'm looking out the window. They know where I'm looking at, so they aiming the chops and all that. So I'm like damn, this is a situation. I'm gonna follow my grandma and my uncle at this time. I'm telling them I'm like yo, we got a call somebody cuz the situation, situation, yeah, my fucking grandma, my uncle, like come to grandma's house. Go to grandma's house right now. I'm like I can't believe, I can't like they're on my car right now. They was like no, no, just get in the car and go. I'm like all right, we gotta get off the phone because obviously y'all not grasping the reality of what y'all not hearing, what I'm telling you.
Speaker 2:All right. So, boom, I hang up one number. I bang one number. I'm like all right, I can't call ya, I gotta call somebody that I could line. I call a big patria, nigga. Boom, he comes, bro, less than five minutes. Boom, boom, boom, boom, block is clear. He's upstairs in the crib. He like yo, we out. Boom, he take me where I gotta go.
Speaker 2:So at this point I'm like all right, it's getting out of hand. I need some type of deflection to evade situations like that. So here's where Maya comes into the picture. Bro, I hit Maya up. I tell Maya, yo, I tell him exactly what it is, what the situation is. Like nigga's on my ass, it's your job to take care of that. So that's exactly what he did.
Speaker 2:From that point on, all beef went right through him. Everything, anything that happened, was being deflected by Maya. Maya was handling it. Niggas wasn't even calling me no more because they had to deal with Maya. You know what I'm saying? Like that lasted, but so long. Eventually, you know, adam decided to separate himself and so did Reflex Radio. They decided to distance themselves from me because of the violence that was coming with me. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:Like one day after the demon day, january 14th, me and Swimmy left. I was supposed to drop Swimmy home. I don't know where we was going. We was going to my mom's crib, I think, but this is where I told Y'all the story. I was supposed to get murdered.
Speaker 2:We leave the studio, we go to my mom's crib. But before we go to my mom's crib I make a stop. While I'm making the stop, I break some type of traffic. Well, they said I ran a stop sign or whatever. But whatever the case may be, I ran a stop sign. I get pulled over as I'm going into my mom's parking lot. This is all on YouTube too. I'm a tag it. I'm a tag that link in this story. But yeah, I get into my mom's parking lot, cops pull me over and next thing, you know, it's like seven cop cars they locking me up the whole time. I was on my way to my mom's crib there was two niggas following me with chops, assault rifles and everything. They was going to get me at my mom's crib. So once they seen all the boys and me getting arrested and everything, they pulled, they just did. You know what I'm saying. There was no more of that. But I ended up. What happened with that case?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was nothing.
Speaker 2:I think I got RRWD, yeah. So I left the next day and then everything was regular. But the nigger that was in the car, right, he sent me videos of me getting ready, like leaving to go to the podcast, me getting ready setting up in the podcast, me leaving the podcast and then me getting stopped by cops. He was like if you didn't get stopped, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You and your mans wouldn't even be here. So when I seen those videos, I was just like I had to start moving different at that very point.
Speaker 1:You get what I'm saying, yeah brother like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Because niggas will get bad business. Man, yeah, man, that shit was crazy.
Speaker 2:Oh, I remember what I got arrested for now. That's when I got arrested for the shit with my little brother fighting my little brother, Zay Cinco. Yeah, I got into a little bullshit fight with my brother. They called the cops on me and shit like that Zay's mom. But that's how everything came to conclusion with Reflex Radio. And then I started live from the gutter immediately after that. But I lost Adam, I lost Swimmy, and that didn't stop me. I just continued my journey. You had to keep pushing and I'm here now. You know what I'm saying. That's how you got to do it. Yeah, I ended up, you know, meeting Stax and partnering up with him, and now we're in business together, you know, and it all worked out. It all worked out. So that's story time with Elliot Carter and Reflex Radio. Round of applause Moving on. But yeah, man, that was, I could have been out of here. You feel me? I could have been out of here, you have a.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you, man, niggas, niggas, you just bless the situations. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, you ever been in a situation like that or anything comparable I have not, I have not, I can't even say I have.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. I just I ain't even gonna hold you man. I've always been the type of nigga where I'm good like almost any circumstance or any situation, any area. You know what I mean. Just because niggas are dead to the day, you just got to know how to move. Even when I was trapping trapping like motherfucking Hoffa doesn't matter, you know what I mean, because niggas know like here and like, alright, that's a mile. Like I don't cool, I don't solid. Like he ain't got no beef for nobody, type shit Niggas wasn't looking for. You know what I mean. I wasn't looking for, niggas wasn't looking for it with me. Just keep it solid, keep it moving.
Speaker 1:Even when I was going out to New York, you know what I mean. And when I was going out to New York, that was strictly music shit. Yeah, that wasn't no business. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't no business. But you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:The people I was running around with you know what I mean, when I was out in Brooklyn or I was out in motherfucking Manhattan and things like that, and they be like yo, you ain't my mama, like yo, let's grab a buck. And I'm like alright, whatever, like you know what I mean, like, even with the little GS9 niggas I used to run around with from time to time they used to be here in East New York, yeah, like you know, the niggas outside, outside all day, every day, and shit like that, but I wasn't looking for no situation and shit like that. I was like yo, I know what you're doing. Yeah, I come see me if y'all want a little bit of weed and shit like that. Other than that, like you keep it pushing and I keep it pushing because I ain't out here for that, I'm just out here for the music. I just came out here with a lot of shit because I knew I was going to smoke. Yeah, I mean, but I ain't going to turn down no money. Nah, facts, facts.
Speaker 2:Facts. Something that I'm covering right now is that's right here, you can see it Just the biggest gangs in Staten Island. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So you know, as a journalist, I like well, in my feel, in my practice of journalism, I like to cover most of the things that lack coverage, you know.
Speaker 1:No, you got to. You got to. You got to show, like today, Things that aren't going to be talked about.
Speaker 2:You know Exactly, you got to show like today, this is, this is definitely something that I wanted to talk about. So some of the biggest gangs, you have some actual gangs here. You got like Blood Sets, you got Guerrilla Stone, mafia, mac Buller Brims, you got OTA that's that originated in Park Hill in Staten Island only the Africans. You got G-Stone Crips and that's probably like an honorable mention because I don't think any Crips should be up there, honestly. But the two biggest gangs I would say in Staten Island are gangs that are not looked at as gangs because they're looked at as units that protect and serve or as peace organization. So you have the NYPD. Of course I consider that a gang because they get away with murder, literally Murder, murder.
Speaker 1:Literally Murder. I mean everybody, everyone fucking with it, no matter where you at man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then you got True to Life, and True to Life is a city crisis management system. So what they do is like, let's say, someone gets shot in new brightening, that whole group will pull up, that whole peace organization will pull up and they're going to do a shooting response.
Speaker 1:They're going to do peace marches and speeches, protests and whatnot, protests and all that. All that shit, but in reality, they're just collecting that bread.
Speaker 2:that's all it is Exactly but in reality, these niggas in Staten Island is the ones creating the crisis, these niggas I have death threats in my DMs from these niggas. I have niggas talking about. They're going to kill me and then do a peace march. You know what I'm saying Because I have problems with this guy right here, iron Mike, and he's the head of the whole operation. So when I speak out against him, it's like a hundred little minions that speak in his defense because he never says nothing he never said. He's never mimicked the word to me. You know what I'm saying and I'll be talking about his wife. You know what I'm saying, like how he's cheating on his wife with multiple different females, and you know he just. Everybody else has a voice but him. But he's supposed to be the head of this peace organization and everybody in this peace organization is violent. It's crazy. You have like three people in the last five years that was a part of this organization that went to try for murder For bodies, for bodies.
Speaker 1:You know, shit like that For bodies. You know what I mean. Money talks, though Money talks. You gotta look at like this man. Dudes always and people always try to raise awareness because they know it's dollars behind it. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely yeah, man, every red cent matters to smell fuckers Anything.
Speaker 2:Niggas run up to these PPP loans and shit like that and then going down, going down, going down Niggas is going down for that shit.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying, man? Like yo niggas know y'all are going to do nothing with nothing, man.
Speaker 2:Blowing that money. Nothing with nothing Blowing that money. Something else that I'm doing is OnlyFans reviews. Okay, yeah, I peep that, I peep that, I peep that, and I think this is really clever.
Speaker 1:You ain't got to do OnlyFans or you go to Twitter, man, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But, yo you gotta understand the platform that OnlyFans has. Bro Like this bitch is making millions, bro, millions, hundreds of thousands. Oh yeah, I know, I know Showing they toes. I know you know what I'm saying and I'm tapped in with some of those females that are doing very well, but I like to keep things on a local scale. So what, what A girl that I just re A girl that I just rated, leigh-anne Deyzi. This girl right here you can check out her Facebook. She's on a YouTube channel.

Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm happy right now. Why you feel like he fell off?
Speaker 1:I mean to me it was just I ain't gonna hold you. I mean, we are getting to like especially motherfuckers with certain status and they want to get on like propaganda and be sincere. Yeah, I mean. It's the same thing how I felt about your brothers podcast. So like, yeah, I mean like, nigga, you just be from a room or more for what? Yeah, I mean like it's cool and all, but no, nigga. Like y'all doing this shit for clickbait? Yeah, I try and do that shit. That's all it is. Yeah, niggas trying to gain traction through clickbait? Yeah, I mean, whether it's, oh, we trying to sign a deal? Yeah, I mean, and we just trying to get these numbers up. I understand that perspective.
Speaker 2:I definitely understand that perspective.
Speaker 1:That's how I looked at it. So I was like yo no nigga. Like continue to build your brand. Like y'all niggas know how to do it, y'all doing this shit organically. Like continue to capitalize off of that shit, like now with these, with the podcast, like I probably watch more sports podcast and shit like that. Then motherfuckers want to talk about regular I ain't gonna say regular douglas shit, but it's like y'all just want clickbait podcast. I'm like all right, that's cool, but I'm not clicking for that shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, nah, I feel you, I feel you, I try to keep a more authentic vibe.
Speaker 1:Nah, I'm saying nah, nah, I ain't go, you do, you do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm very unbiased. You know what I'm saying, like, if I get into it with my brother, my brother will become a part of this. You know what I'm saying, like. And that just goes to show like I don't pick and choose.
Speaker 1:Nah, you can't, you can't, you can't. You know what I mean. Even with motherfuckers you might not see eye to eye with, you know what I mean. Or if you got a motherfucker that comes on and the very next motherfucker he might have a beef with, Like make it right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I gotta get both sides.
Speaker 1:It's both sides of the story. There's two sides of everything, three sides to it. When you get into truth, yeah, exactly Like it's your job as a journalist, as a podcast host, to disseminate who's saying what and be like, all right, he said this, he said this. You know what I mean? Like a piece of the shit and I can make my own truth.
Speaker 2:Exactly exactly, and you know what I'm saying and that's something that I love. I love getting into like the investigations and just launching investigations, talking to different people, getting feedback and stuff like that. But the reason I brought up academics was cause he posted my man yesterday. My man, nizzle, got into it with Buster Rimes at the club and they kind of manhandled my dog. You know what I'm saying. Shit broke my heart, had me a little upset. I'm not gonna lie. But Nizzle called me and we spoke about it and he's not gonna come on record right now cause he has a. You know the legal aspect that he has to deal with it.
Speaker 1:But I'm not Look look, I ain't gonna say, look, he wasn't going. He probably wasn't going for it for the breach, he was just going for it for the simple love. It's like yo, hey, man, that's a bust. Yeah, you know what I mean. Certain artists had that reachable personality Like I ain't never gonna forget, yeah, sometimes, why I used to be out here fucking, and this is when juices for life had just opened up. You know what I mean. And where's that? They got one in Yonkers. That's when the first one that opened up was in Yonkers. Okay, you know what I mean.

So, if I can, when she stayed at one of them she stayed there for probably like 10, 12 years and then she ended up selling both of those properties and whatnot. What was it Asked and whatnot? But yeah, I mean, growing up in Hartford, then you got me spending time out there and even under my adulthood like traveling all around with the music shit, just because just niggas don't want to stay in one place. See what I mean? Never, I don't know. So I could say Tagumi Nacho, out of marriage, fucking. I could say oh works, the little.

But I ain't gonna lie, the breakfast fools up in there. Some amazing like the nigga does it all up in there. You fucking round, get some you fucking round, get some duck for breakfast type shit, just for the guy.

Yeah, fuck, come on, man, this ain't New York, it's over, it's over.
Speaker 2:It's over, it's over. That's just the category, that's eliminated.
Speaker 1:Just say New York man, fuck it. Only late night eats. Everybody know about it. Nyc beat man. New York chicken and biscuit man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the fact, yeah, that's everybody.
Speaker 1:Go to the spot, whether you want to hit the one in the east or you hit the one on Farmer to Nive and even the one on Farmer to Nive and they ain't what they used to be because the niggas in the east used to run that one, yeah, so like they sold that shit off and motherfuckers just kept the name over there. But I think that one still, I think the one on Farmer to Nive still open till like two, three o'clock in the morning, fashions, trash, stuff. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie man, they got rid of the like Hartford for sure. Like up in the northern part of the state. They really got rid of the late night shit, just because they got rid of the clubs. The clouds, they got rid of the clubs, oh, clubs, all the clubs, man, it's like when they hide the club scene, yeah, shit was open, whether it was going right. When did they start getting rid of the clubs? When they started gentrifying the city? So I want to say 2016, 2017, is when they really started shutting shit down, and I mean partly for good reason, just because motherfuckers used to wild out. Like we said, my heart for the small city.
Speaker 1:So you had your little strip on Island Street where you had fucking a few of them, clubs and whatnot. Couple of them got shut down because of violence and whatnot, whether it was niggas leaving the club and they started shooting, it was like motherfucker, what you shooting for, like the D's is right, the fuck man. Like this is what we doing. Niggas bugging him Like niggas can't even get no peace in there cause you just shot. She got one nigga. Like you Niggas not thinking bro, I'm saying man. So yeah, other than that, like they really started getting into the sales process and fucking selling properties and whatnot. So you know how it is when you sell properties and whatnot. You got clubs attached to a certain property. Nigga, your club out of here. You know what I mean. That leases up. Nigga, that's it boy. So you ain't resigning nowhere. And that's usually how hard for this man, nigga. I just I ain't gonna lie. A couple of weeks ago I was just driving down where was it? One on the street and I was like damn, they got rid of the old charisma. I was looking to my left. I was like damn, they demolished that shit. It's crazy, cause I remember helping my dad set up cause he had to go DJ at charisma and I'm like, oh shit, there you go that memory. That's really how hard for this man.
Speaker 1:They traded all that shit from minor league baseball team and the fucking that baseball field. Right, yeah, the yard goes to this shit. That's what they traded that shit for. They traded all that shit for a fucking college size baseball field. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice field. It's a nice field. I've been to a couple of games and whatnot. Yeah, it looks like a beautiful stadium. Man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, get your little food, you get your little drinks. You know how it is, fucking sports prices and shit. Yeah, definitely, man, I ain't gonna lie man. One thing I always wanted to see so what was there?
Speaker 2:clubs was there.
Speaker 1:Nah, nigga fucking. That space used to be just open. I ain't even gonna hold you, not even gonna hold you Used to have like one little building there and then just like parking. So I mean, hartford went through a hell of renovations. You know what I mean? Growing up like you see hell of shit. Whether it is the police station that they got over there, cause back then they didn't have that shit, that was just like a big ass open street.
Speaker 2:What police station is that?
Speaker 1:The Hartford Police Station. Okay, that's that shit. They all little medical insurance center and shit like that Shit. I know that I've been there a couple of times. Yeah, man, they gentrifying everywhere man. Yeah, man, I already know, I know how it is in New York. For sure they gentrifying everywhere, man. Like when I used to go through Brooklyn I ain't gonna lie, if I can you knew it was coming. Just because, for example, you go to Brooklyn, I mean you go to one section, you might go to East New York, you know they never going gentrify that shit. Yeah, like Red Hook, shit like that. Yeah, they never going to touch Red Hook, Like it is what it is. But you go through like Best Eye, you're like, okay, they gonna stay here, you can see it, you can see it. You got places like Dumbo now. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Dumbo. Yeah, down Under by the Book, what the fuck that shit mean. Down Under by the Bread, something like that. But that shit is beautiful now. I'm not gonna hold you that shit is beautiful in the motherfucker.
Speaker 1:I believe it, I believe it and that's all it's gonna be, because it's just a money play.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's all it is. That's all it is. That's all it is.
Speaker 1:That's what everything is about we trying to make our city look pretty enough for your ass to move back into, but at the end of the day you're like yo dawg nigga. Just make the house a mug decent.
Speaker 2:Affordable housing, bro, that's it.
Speaker 1:Just make that shit affordable, like you don't gotta charge the motherfucker with 7% Affordable housing. Be reasonable and charge everybody like yo, motherfucker, it's crazy. It's crazy how these niggas be trying to get you to spend your money. Like I was telling my man the other day he was talking about taxes and shit and I was like yo, it don't make no sense that niggas gotta pay taxes for this, pay taxes for this, pay, income tax for this, pay state and fair tax for this. I tell him, nigga, I'm like hey, dawg, just let me get my grocery right. Let me get my grocery right.
Speaker 1:If you know what bracket I'm in, you know what I'm making at the end of the year, charge me a feed at the end of the year. It's like yo, you got all this growth pay. I'm gonna charge you two racks at the end of the year. Pay off all your taxes. You know what I mean. Yeah, if they don't tax you a certain amount anyway, pay your check. You know what I mean. Pay for your fare and state for this and pay your Medicaid tax right here, some bullshit. But why would you be doing that? I mean because I'm trying to see what all my bread looks like before y'all niggas take me here.
Speaker 1:Before y'all take my money. I didn't know you even had the option to do that. Nah, you don't, you don't? Idealistically, I would want that. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, idealistically I would want that shit. Just because I'm not here, I want to see all my bread, you know why they don't do that.
Speaker 2:People aren't that responsible, you in the god knows.
Speaker 1:I know it's that simple. I know Because you got a nigga like this man. You got niggas making different amounts of bread right now. Like, think about it like this I might take home an extra amount of wheat, right, but if I got all my gross income, let's just say all my gross income is like all right, I get like 13 hundred Mm-hmm, but with all the taxes taken out I'm only seeing like nine, 20. Or let's say I'm seeing like eight, 70, some more If you lucky Right.
Speaker 1:I want that extra three hundred two Like, oh shit, I might need that. I feel you. I mean I might need that. But I mean to your point, yeah, you're right, niggas might not be super responsible To the point where you have to pay back a lump sum at the end of the year.
Speaker 2:Nah, they can't do that Me.
Speaker 1:And nah, when it's expected that you have to put a small amount aside every time until I mean, like that's my JJ when we're still in business, right, I pay a lump sum to get that money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a different though.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm structuring newities. Yeah, Instructing newities that's it.
Speaker 2:That's a different, that's a different Fucking. What else do I have up here? Add?
Speaker 1:This shit, bro. I realistically want to see how old my books money look like. I ain't gonna hold you If I could see that week by week, cause you already know we get paid week by week. Yeah, I'm like, you know what I mean. Maybe if some niggas saw that shit week to week, niggas will envy living. Check to check.
Speaker 2:I ain't working, I ain't having a job and I'm having a report to work, Niggas for you. That shit is just dreadful to me, like taking orders. You know what I'm saying.
