"CRASH SHIESTY"

[00:00:02] Speaker A: The problem is with your average. [00:00:04] Speaker B: What's the problem? [00:00:05] Speaker A: That they fail to see the big picture Ain't got no vision all they want to do is ride around town in a clean car Buy some expensive jewelry or a big bank row they can show off to impress some but that's the show cheese the show cheese [00:00:21] Speaker B: that's the show cheese. Let's get into this intro. I got a lot to talk about in these 30 minutes. All right, y', all, we back. Episode 71. 71. As always, like, follow and subscribe. Let's get these subscriptions up. Support me. But listen, I got a lot to talk about, you know, if you haven't been living under a rock, you know what's going on out here. And before we get into that, as always, let's start with our mental health check. I guess you could say right now I'm in a cool space, you know, I'm still dealing with some things that I've been trying to overcome, and I will overcome eventually, but it's just frustrating, you know what I'm saying? Like, things can be going so well, and then you hit an obstacle, and the next thing you know, you. You in a space that you don't want to be in. But honestly, I feel like this is a year for me to grow. Like I said, I'm in therapy. I'm finding how to deal with my emotional frustrations and also changing my perspective on a lot of things. I think with this era, everything is so social media heavy that you can kind of get warped into comparing yourself. And I think that's where I was kind of finding myself a lot lately, especially with, like, this, you know, this whole content thing. I realized that I went from, like, comparing, right? And I found myself being told that I was good enough. So then it went from comparing and kind of maybe feeling a little inadequate to, like, okay, I know I'm good enough. So now that means I'm not doing something that other people are willing to do. And I think that's kind of the crossroad that most people are going to come to when it comes to chasing whatever dream it is, whatever goal it is. You're going to a point where it's like you're going to have to sacrifice something, and in sacrificing that, you're just going to have to be okay with it. I mean, I don't really think balance is a real thing sometimes. Don't get me wrong. I think there's things that you can balance, but I don't think it's Necessarily, like a real thing. When you're trying to chase something, it's like you got to be all in. You know what I'm saying? You can't have one foot in, one foot out type of thing. But for the most part, I'm doing okay. Like I said, I'm rebounding. I'm building myself back up. This is not the first time I've been here. It's probably not going to be the last. You know, happens, and it is what it is. But like I said earlier, if you haven't been living under a rock lately and you are a fan of music, you know what's happening out there. And I think this conversation for, like, Even though it's 30 minutes, I think it's definitely going to be, like, something to give you perspective. Now, I think it was Friday, Pooh Shiesty was indicted for kidnapping, having a firearm, for being a convicted felon, robbery, and some other things. Now, mind you, it wasn't just him. I think it was eight other assailants that was with him, including his dad. Now, that to me was kind of shocking. Like, why is your dad going on a slide with you? That's crazy in itself, but that's a whole nother thing. So they were indicted. Now, I know a few months ago, this was kind of like surfacing on the Internet, but I think a lot of people just didn't believe it because it didn't make sense. Right? Because here's Gucci, the owner of 1017, and his biggest artist, Pooh Shiesty. And most people's mind is like, he's giving Pooh Shiesty opportunity to, you know, live out his dreams, essentially. But we fast forward, we find out that this could potentially be true. Now, this is where it gets kind of interesting for me. It was alleged that this all started because of the contract. And from my understanding and from the research that I've been doing these past few days, Gucci is alleged to not really be good at his deals with his artist. He's had other artists that have either passed and. Or was let go due to whatever the case may be. I know, more importantly, at one point in time, it seemed like it was Pooh Shy and Big Scar. Rest in peace. Big Scar. He passed away from, I believe, popping a synthetic drug of some sort. And that's how he passed. And that started a lot of conflict because people didn't like the way that Gucci approached the situation. They said he wasn't really sympathetic. But he did pay for the funeral. I know it's a lot of rumors out there about him not doing nothing for the funeral, but you can Google it. He paid 20, 000. I believe his wife had receipts on what they paid for the funeral. In my opinion, I think people were more upset about how he didn't like, I guess he didn't react in the way that they wanted him to react. And he wanted the chains back that he gave to Big Scar. But that might have been something completely different in itself because what most people don't know is that 1017 assigned to Atlantic. I don't know what Gucci's contract is like with Atlantic, but I know like, to me, they are the real puppet masters behind like how everything's, how everything go. So let's get back to the topic of hand. Pooh Shiesty calls a meeting with Gucci to talk about the contract. Who Shiesty then goes to this meeting. I'm pretty sure something must have happened. I. They may have went in there with like, good intentions at first, but whatever answers Pooh Shiesty wanted, he wasn't getting. And that's when the guns came out. Allegedly. Again, his dad was in on it. His cousin, another cousin of his, I believe was in on it. Or a friend of his, Big 30 was in on, on, you know what happened. Now this is why we're giving him the crash out of the year. With contracts in business, there are ways to go about it. Like trying to strong arm a person into signing over your release is definitely not the way to go about it. I get it. Pooh Shiesty is from the streets, quote unquote. His mentality may be a little different, but again, it's ignorant and it's faulted in my opinion because there are other street artists, you know, that come from that who have made better decisions because to me, it's like it's a simple Google search how to get out my contract. I even googled it myself and what I found is you want to hire entertainment lawyer. Entertainment lawyer will then find violations or an audit. He'll do an audit where they find things that are happening within the contract. And a they can release you and. Or you can renegotiate the contract, right. To benefit you even more because they violated. What's even more interesting is Pooh Shiesty had a three album deal. Now he was already one album in. I believe he released the album in 2022. And then he was arrested for the robbery that he did in Florida with the, the shoe seller. And you know, he was given kind of A break. You know, he went to jail. I think he was supposed to do five years. He didn't do the whole five. Came home with a home monitoring system, which he violated twice on top of that, because there was a stream that he did where the PO saw him on the stream and he still did it. And the po, I believe, called him, is like, yo, we see you. We see you on this stream. And, you know, he tried to deny it, but by then it was too late. And then he asked for permission to go to this meeting with Gucci, and he was denied. Now, again, there to me is, like, this awkwardness with, like, wanting to keep things. Things real when it comes to business. And the two. I'm not gonna say they can't coexist, because obviously we've heard stories before within the rap game where people have taken things into hands, but that was the 90s. This. This ain't the 90s. Things have definitely changed. Not only have things changed, but technology has advanced, and it's like, no, we're not going for that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I think back in the 90s, you could definitely put the fear of God in somebody. And they not run to police nowadays. That's not what's happening. Like, even with them doing what they did, allegedly, they also found the jewelry that was stolen because they posted it. They had the nerve to not only try to force Gucci to sign this. This contract to release Pooh Shici, but they also took items off of Gucci's entourage and posted it, which was idiotic in my opinion. And again, if you haven't been living under a rock, this has started a conversation with street culture. And what is street culture? And to me, street culture has always been, or let's say, I guess gangster has always been like, you're going to get it by any means necessary. Necessarily by any means necessary. Sorry. And nine times out of 10, that's doing something illegal. Right? That's usually the street culture is. But street culture and business are totally two different things. You can't operate off of street culture and business because there you're. You're dealing with legal things. Like, okay, let's say Gucci did sign a contract. Like I said. Most people forget that 10:17 is under Atlantic. You have to have everybody involved in order for the release. So it's like he could have did that and. And still. I mean, he still didn't get released because he got arrested, of course. But it's like there are things that have to happen in order for the release to happen. I'm really shocked that his dad didn't even stop to think like, hey, maybe this, we shouldn't do this. You just came home. Or maybe we need to just go up there and negotiate. Or he could have banged out the, the, the last two albums that he had. It was only a three album deal. Now listen, I think that you have artists and then you have rappers. And what I mean by that is that like to me, Kendrick Lamar, artist J. Cole, artist Drake, artists, these people, when they put out their work that, well, Drake might not be there anymore, but again, when these people put out their work, there's something behind it. There's a meaning behind it. They want you to figure it out. They're trying to really send you a message. Pooh Shiesty is not that kind of artist. Pooh Shisty is a that know how to rap. That's all he really is. He's a that know how's the rap and he know how to rap good. And he can make you feel something in the sense of like whatever that gangster he rap about is. He can make a 9 to 5 or feel like the most street ever. Right? Which is a talent in itself. I'm not denying his talent. What I'm getting at is I think he could have knocked out two more albums in a year. I don't think it could have took him forever. I mean, again, this is depending on what the contract say, because the contract could have been set up to where he had to release an album a few years apart. But either way, it's like, yo, put something in the chamber. When it's time to let it go, let it go, you know what I'm saying? And be out your contract. But to me, you sacrificed what could have been something that changed your family's trajectory forever. You might, you may have come from that, but then your kids wouldn't have come from that. And then you could put your kids in a predicament to where they get the real education that they need. They go out in the world and be successful in other spaces, and then they have kids and then so on and so on. And the next thing you know, you are completely separated from poverty because of your rap career again. I don't know why nobody didn't even think to say, okay, even if we're gonna go meet Gucci and do this, you don't come with us. We're gonna go talk to Gucci, we're gonna see if we can get you out this contract. If we can't Then we gotta go another way about it. Which is the legal route again. I'm pretty sure they could have found some legal loophole within the contract to get him out of the contract. I don't know if this was more so about proving something, you know what I'm saying? I think a lot of black men do get lost in the idea of having to prove themselves. All I can say is it was complete ignorance. And I found that it was a lot of people, a lot of grown people. And when I say grown, I mean grown grown. I'm not talking about like 20s grown. I mean like 40, 50 grown, really defending his actions. I was on a tick tock live the other day where they were saying like, you know, Pooh Shisty come from the streets, he's a gangster. And this was the gangster to do. And I'm like, no, that was idiotic. Listen, I'm Hooded Jason. I know some gangsters. You get what I'm saying? I'm not saying that I was a gangster myself. No, I'm not tough. I've never been tough. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is I personally know people who have been involved in certain circumstances. And the one thing that I've noticed and how they survive, they are very intelligent outside of street. They know when they've lost and they know when they've won. But for the most part, they not going to do some dumb. And that's what Pooh Shy she did. He did some dumb. So for anybody out there who supports what he did, you're stupid. That's, I, I, I, I can't get around it. You're idiotic. Like, like again, I know some gangsters and I know some gangsters that broke rules and suffered the consequences. And everybody looking at them like fools, like, yo, you know, we got rules to this. Why you do that? And like I said, there could have been things that were done differently. Like even like when I was on a live. Mind you, this one guy that was talking, he was like in his 40s and he was talking about how gangster Pooh Shiesty was, how he did it, knowing that it was cameras right there and whatnot. And whatnot, right? And I'm thinking to myself, like, wow, like, they think because he went and did what he did because the cameras was there, that that's gangster. And I'm like, no, that, that's not what I remember. That it like the definition of it really being. Yes. It was a whole thing about, you know, being in the streets. And being able to move how you wanted to move. But nothing said that you had to be stupid. Nothing, nothing about it says you had to be stupid and how you moved. And granted, I think rules definitely change when it comes to what environment you're in. Like, I'm on the east coast, right? I will tell you, one of my guilty pleasures is watching like certain channels that are from different states, right? I, I watched this one channel called Rap News Politics and they talk about a lot of gang banging. And the, the thing that I found interesting is on that side of the world, it's really about the colors. It's really about the neighborhood, which is kind of asinine to me. You know, I'm not judging them. Get what I'm saying? Because I don't come from that. I don't understand it. It's not meant for me to understand. But the one thing I do understand with the east coast is that a lot of the situations that happen within the streets are over resources, not necessarily over colors. I'm not saying don't happen. We've had gangs here where I'm from. I don't, I don't think that they was as serious as west coast gangs. But I do know that a lot of the times it's mostly involved with resources or people stepping on people toes. When it comes to money and things of that nature, overall, streets, street is dumb. I, I like, I don't care. I get it. Some people gotta do what they got to do. I respect that. I respect knowing what you have to do, putting food on the table and making your money and supporting whatever you got to support. But at some point you gotta realize what you're doing is idiotic to me. You only, it's only three outcomes. And I've seen all three. Not for myself personally, but I'm talking about with other people. You either one, go to jail, two, you die, or three, you live long enough and now you're a fiend. That's it. Do you only have a small few who really make it out? You have some that make it out and become truck drivers or entrepreneurs, you know, legal entrepreneurs. But for the most part, on average, you die, you go to jail, you become a fiend. That's it. I remember before asking a question that was like, why do we continue to play a game that we know the outcome to? You know what I'm saying? Like, I think again, there are great things about social media, and one of those things is being able to see how other people's lives have panned out. If you don't know so certain situations personally, you can go online and hear stories about it. I mean, even before social media, we had movies, we had documentaries. I mean, you could read the paper, whatever the case may be, you could find it, you know what I'm saying? Like, you saw what happens when you take this route. And I guess the bigger question, in my opinion is why do you people choose to take this route? Again, I do believe some people are just. It's like, it's the circumstances, you know, they living in poverty, they don't have the best education. You know, they. They live in the now versus the future. They have to live in the now. And for some people, it's like you don't have to do what you're doing, and you choose to do it because it's what's accepted socially in the environment that you're living in. But you necessarily don't have to do it if you're not in the space to have to do it. I remember, like, being in the streets was one of those things where it was like, embarrassing, like at one point in time. Like, remember, like back in the day, like, if your peoples found out you was outside, like, it was like, really, really like, oh, shit, they know what I'm doing. For the longest time, I can remember my dad personally just being like, oh, no, I work in construction. I work in construction. But that's not what he was doing, right? And eventually, you know, he found his way out and he, you know, he, he lives a legal life now and he lives a respectable life. But what I want to say is, like, I just want our people to get away from this ideology. Like, it's, it's killing us. It really is. And, and even more so, it's not giving us a chance to grow as a community. Some of the mentality that we have, I get it, it comes from the environment that we're in. But once you make it out of that environment, you don't carry that into the next fold. You get what I'm saying? If you were living in survival mode and you went into having it where you can get whatever you need, you don't have to be gangster in that. I think that's another thing I was talking about with somebody. I said, listen, what pooh shies he did, you would have thought he was hurting. That's the only thing I could think of. You would have thought he was hurting. And I don't think he was hurting. Like, you're not hurting for resources. You can still eat, you can still Put food on the table, you know what I'm saying? Your family's still taken care of, you don't have to do this. That like what you did was out of desperation. Like when people move like that. Not even just in that, in that scenario, just in general, when people move like that, it's usually because they don't have anything or they ran out of something. But you, you just came home, first day out, hit, you know what I'm saying? Like you booming people were waiting for you, you being booked, you're not hurting for resources. So to rush this process or trying to force this process again was very idiotic. Now like I said, it's been a few days and information keeps coming out. The one thing I do keep hearing is that they potentially may not have to go through with this because there is no evidence and Gucci is not telling. Essentially. I know a few days ago people were saying Gucci was a snitch. And personally I believe you can't be a victim and be a snitch. That's just me. I get the aspect of people saying like, well, if you come from the streets, you handle it on the street level. But then if Gucci would have did something to push, I see, we would have called him an idiot. We would have said you a 40, 40 year old man out here doing street, why you can't win with people. That's one thing I'm realizing too with the Internet. You really can't win with people on the Internet because you can say something that makes the most sense in the world and there will be somebody to combat that. We see it all the time. We see it all the time. And I also hate the idea that we don't allow people to change. Yes, Gucci was who he was in 06. I was outside. I know what Gucci was. I remember the whole thing, the whole situation with him and Jeezy, you know, when Waka first hit 10 7, the original 1017 hit, you know, Gucci's legal issues, you know, Gucci having to defend himself when, you know, people came to the crib to try to, you know, rob him. It's like I, I, I, I literally remember everything because I was into the music back then. But then when Gucci went to jail and he came home, he was different, he had evolved. And with evolution comes perspective. When you're not stuck in survival mode, it's hard not to see things differently. It, it genuinely is hard not to see things differently. When you have money and access, you don't have time for the shits. You know what I'm saying? You don't. You don't have time for that anymore because you have elevated now. You don't. You don't see it. Like, it's almost like how when some of our favorite rappers started really making some real money, the music started changing. They talking about things we ain't never heard of before. You know what I'm saying? Like, they talking about art trips, seeing different things, because that's what happens as you get older. You're not supposed to be in the same mental space when you get older. And eventually, Pooh Shiesty might see shit the same, you know what I'm saying? I don't know how old he is right now, but when he gets older, he's not. He shouldn't be the same person he is now. I mean, granted, five years in jail would have definitely changed me and my perspective. But like I said, he went about it the way he went about it. And who knows who was in his ear. That's another thing. We don't know if somebody was in his ear and gassing them, like, bro, Gucci playing with you. You need to go handle that. You know what I'm saying? Or maybe they didn't think Gucci would tell or whatever the case may be. But it's like, bruh, you definitely had other options. That's the gangster. The gangster is knowing you have other options. And the violent option is always the last option. Most real don't want to be violent. I'm gonna say it just like that. Most real do not want to be. I know some real. Like, I know some real people who have done things and have put themselves in positions. In a position to where their mind never stops racing because of the things that they've done. And they all will tell you, violence is the last thing we really want to do, but we will if we have to. And in this instance, Pooh Shiesty did not have to, because, again, he not hurting for resources. He had options. I can name at least four options right now. Again, hire a lawyer. Find out what's wrong with the contract. Dug it out, lock in, put some bullshit out. Finish your three albums. Buy yourself out your contract. Rumors were he wanted to sign with Gotti, right? Gotti being a Memphis. A Memphis native himself, I thought. I mean, to even speak on that. I never understood why he didn't sign with Gotti. And also, too, why isn't three six. Three six Mafia signing some of these people? I think that's interesting, too. But again, he could have went to Gotti. Gotti. What am I doing wrong? What can I do differently? I want to change things. He didn't have to necessarily again do what he had to do. I don't think he. I don't. He didn't have to do what he had to do. That's just at the end of the day that's what it comes down to. What he did was completely idiotic. He is the world's biggest crash out at this moment. People do not look at him and think he did something smart. Yes, you have the idiots who think he was a gangster and he handled it like a gangster. Them motherfuckers are idiots and we'll see how long they last in the world. But at the end of the day he didn't have to do what he had to do. The dumbest shit to me and I think it was the dumbest shit to most people. And again black people, please, let's get out of this mentality. The street ain't even what it used to be anymore. There's. There's never one been loyalty industries to begin with. Snitches have always been a part of the game. We've seen the outcome time and time and time again. Stop playing this game. Or if you play the game, understand what come with it and be okay with that. Be okay with what comes with this. But I'm gonna end it here [00:27:32] Speaker A: and [00:27:32] Speaker B: I'm gonna end it with a Pooh Shiesty song because I think that's what we should do. [00:27:45] Speaker C: The one start throwing honeys I can't fumble the whole world been waiting on that knife all the way to R D Gave it to my little homie Ain't no more move, fossil. Mr. Goldman.
