SIDE EFFECTS OF SUCCESS- MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME EPISODE 376
46 min
•Apr 26, 2026about 1 month agoSummary
Episode 376 explores the psychological and relational side effects of financial success, featuring caller questions about relationships, friendships, and business partnerships. The hosts discuss how money changes dynamics with people, the importance of saying no, and maintaining authenticity while building wealth.
Insights
- Financial success creates unexpected social friction—people who were close may become resentful, jealous, or entitled rather than supportive, requiring hosts to establish boundaries
- The transition from struggle to success is mentally harder than the grind itself; many successful people struggle with guilt about celebrating wins or fear of appearing better than others
- Real friendship and business partnership require clear communication and aligned work ethic; mismatched expectations about effort and contribution are primary sources of conflict
- Survivor's remorse and inability to say 'no' are underestimated challenges of wealth—people begin to depend on you financially, creating resentment when you establish boundaries
- Authenticity and consistency in values (not gossiping, staying positive, living genuinely) generate respect and loyalty that transcends competition and jealousy
Trends
Mental health challenges among high-earners related to guilt, imposter syndrome, and relationship strain are underreported but widespreadSocial media amplifies entitlement and comparison culture, damaging friendships based on follower counts and perceived success rather than genuine connectionGenerational shift: younger people use transactional language ('day one,' 'ride or die') without the commitment history that older generations associate with those termsBusiness partnerships between friends fail at high rates due to unspoken expectations about work contribution and role clarityWealth creates a filtering problem: it becomes difficult to distinguish genuine relationships from opportunistic ones, leading to isolation despite financial successThe struggle narrative is culturally valorized in certain communities, making visible success socially risky and requiring deliberate reframing of achievement

He was a little rusty. He knew how to, he kept saying, yeah, yo, hold up. What? Oh, your head's in the air. And wave them like it just don't care.

So we got some callers that called in. And you already get to it. Hey, yo, wallo, what's up, you fucking nut? You egg, yelling, but I gotta say something real quick. So this happened to me like maybe when I was like 20 years old, I met this little bra. Me, my boy was about to, you know, run that train on it real quick. He get in front of her. I get behind her and she pulled him draws down. And guess what? I see little little pebbles of like toilet paper on that shit. Like toilet paper on the, the rimmer ass and shit, but and it just threw me off, man. And I ain't follow through with it. So I just want to know what, what would you guys do? I ain't never came in the career one time. I'm, I'm, I'm going to tell you what I would have done. I actually wouldn't have been there, but I came in the career one time and these two girls were running a train on Gil and it was just like, I didn't know he was all I see. But you know, me, he had helicopter legs. He was screaming, what y'all doing? They rip, they took, he rip his shirt off. He in the back room. He was at an on crib. And you know, you go in the crib and it was like a back room, like the shade. It was like a shade kitchen, but it was like a room back there. And his legs was all helicopter. Yes. Forgetty legs. It was crazy. But like, man, which we just want to fuck up, man. Let me just tell you something. Neff. First of all, Neff, you was tripping. That's number one. You know what I mean? Sometimes when a woman, you know, she wiped that ass good enough for it, you know, sometimes if you're using, you know, soft tissue, a couple of little sprinkles get left behind. You know what I mean? It's like, you mean to tell me you backed up out some ass out of a great time because of a few little taller tissues? Like that was proof she wipes her ass. That's the you was looking at it wrong. You looking at it like she got a little couple of little least she wiped by ass. Yeah, me. Least she getting to that. She overwiped that motherfucker because she left some sprinkles of taller tissue, little balls. Like so, like the reality might have been. You might have been coming up a little short. You didn't really want to do in the party. So, you know, sometimes, you know, I understand. So you would have went for the guest though. We was 20 years old, bro. And we got a little tender in there that want to get thrown in a blender. I don't know nothing about that. Yeah, because you was just my bitch warmer back in the day. I'll let you suck some titties. No, no, no, you're lying. You know how you lie. But I was 20. I was in the joint. I was. But first of all, when I was 20, you were 17. Stupid. No, I was in prison. You gotta remember you didn't go to prison. No, no, cuz cuz I turned 17. 1996 June 21st, 1996 October, 1996. I was locked up. This could have happened in August, nigga. No, they happen to he was like, he was like, we was 20. We never was 20 together. No, I didn't say we was 20. I said when I was 20, you fucking lying. That's the same thing. He's saying he 20 years old. No, but so you know, I ran into this one dude where I got a, he said, man, what was Gil talking on that one show when he said I walked up on the corner and none of them niggas stayed long. And I was like, when the fuck that happened, right? You was bluffing. No, no, no, no, no, no, cuz cuz that ain't never happened though. No, you gotta think about it. Like, I've never seen that happen. I walk up on the corner and then I did not realize you had that in a rap. First of all, you was a liar rapper. First of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, because think about it. First of all, when we first started doing on rabies, you was the pat down, boy, though. You was pat down. You was pat down. No, no, no, no, no, you see in the wrap. You see in the wrap. You know what? I was whipping and now you know what it is. You was pat down. And I, you know, you know what? I know this too. You always wanted to have a job that was close to the money. You know what I mean? Like going to niggas pockets and shit, stashing the money, you know what I mean? Because then when we get to somewhere else, that little money might come up short. You always want to do those types of jobs. No, no, no, no. In the whole. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. In the midst of the money might fall. That's what happened. The money. I'm trying to put in my pocket. The money fell on my pocket a couple times. It wasn't stuffed. You always wanted the job that involved you holding the money. In the jury. No, no, no. I'm ready. I'm ready. Start a segment. It's called line rapper lyrics. You the first one only. I walk up on the corner and none of the niggas stay long. And I like I know that wasn't a lie. You know I had that iron sick. Fuck it you talking about. My heart was bigger than alliances. No, Hoto, you said, I play football in Moschino. Pussy, you ain't never. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, Moschino, pussy. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. Fuck it, fuck it. It was just trying to say that. I disrespect the drip. Yeah, I understand what you said. That's what it was about. But you ain't never actually played football in Moschino. First of all, pussy, you never even was one of them niggas to play football out in the streets or none of that shit. Organized football. So that was a fucking lie. Fuck out of it. But you was lying when you say you were. Walkable to corner. No, I was a lion. You see me walkable corners and they can start. They knew the sticker boys was coming. Niggas exes them up fucking corner. You talking about. Yeah, man, at the end of the day, you was lining your reps. I played football in Moschino. You ain't never played no fucking football. I wasn't better rapper than you don't know. You wasn't. We could battle right now, nigga. No, because I'm rusty. I mean, I've been out the game. This listen, I've told you, listen, you want to battle this. You know what? He really he really he really a old school rapper. Right. Because I've been out the game, though. This year, 30 years in the game, 30 years. This is 30 years. This is a 30 year anniversary. And when I first got you started managing through you in the studio, he was a dirty little kid around the way. That was my cousin, but he just was on the corner, just like outside. He was at the grocery store. Trilogy, I mean, I was this dirty, dirty old, the cousin that he put on. We got some more calls, man. That's what he was lying, man. I'm not lying. I'm just saying, like. Hey, yo, this is Scotty from Milwaukee. Check it out. So it's a relationship question. I was fucked up like a year ago out there, bad on the whole shit. My bra left me. I got my life together, got back on my money, clean as motherfucker. You know, Sam, now I feel like she don't hurt me no more, but I feel like I can't get over this bra, even though my life is good. And she left me when I was at my most lowest point. Now I'm back on the top. Well, I feel like I can't get over the bitch. I need million dollars worth of game on this one. I got it from Milwaukee. Let me get you some. Let me get you some game, my man, from Milwaukee. Scotty, Scotty. Let me give you some game, right? All that shit is mental, Scotty. Look at me, Scotty. All that shit is mental. Like when a motherfucker show you who they is, Scotty, you believe that shit, man? She left you when you was at your lowest moment. She didn't uplift you. She didn't be by your side. She didn't ride the motherfucking lonely to the broke down bus with you. No, she said, nigga, you you you at your lowest point. I'm out nigga. The grass is green on the other side. Now you bounce back and now the bitch trying to bounce back. Scotty, don't become a lonely fucking loser, suck ass nigga, Scotty. It's a trillion women out here. She already showed you who you is, but you fucked up mentally. I can't. That's my girl. I can't believe she a girl till she ain't your girl, nigga. Till she somebody else's bitch, man. And it's time to move on, man. See, you niggas get with a girl and in your mind, somewhere this shit is supposed to last forever. This my girl, not that was my girl. No, no, your girl slap of a dicks on her head, man. Now that's your girl. That ain't singular no more, nigga. That's plural, nigga. You're sharing the bitch unless you in the sharing bitches. Then you should move on because let's be for real. Women got it way worse out here than a nigga got it, bro. We outnumber like six, seven, eight to one. You every day you scroll down the social media, you see chicks on it as bad as shit, flawless. Talking about they can't find somebody. How you look like that and can't find somebody. Hey, it's Hannah Montoya. Abercrombie's new summer drop is our latest obsession. There's tons of colorful swim, flowy dresses, and they just released new linen blend matching sets. Everything feels so light and breathable. It's perfect for brunch or rooftop happy hours, just like you're on vacation. Shop Abercrombie in the app online and in stores. So, nigga, understand that they got it fucked up. We don't got it fucked up. When a bitch show you who she is, believe who she is and believe take that for what it's worth. And understand that whatever you built in your mind that you had with her, you can build that with another bitch, another woman. You got something to say, man? Don't double back, Scotty. You got to think about this, Scotty. Anything could have happened to you, man. He was at the bottom, she dipped on you. You could have never bounced back, and if you were to never bounce back, she wouldn't have been paying you no attention. Some people is in your life, not for you. They in your life to position theyself. To make sure their life is better, regardless of what's going on with you. So you just got to be really mindful. And one thing I'm learning out here is I'm seeing it more and more. And I think it's more what men did than it is with women sometime. A lot of dudes, man, some of them don't show it. Like women might show it, they might snap out. Dudes be really going through stuff and they can't let go yesterday. And that's one of the hardest things. Dudes will not be. I didn't see any dudes, man, years go by and they be stuck. A woman to bounce right up and be like, I'm out. Because it's a mentality. That's my girl. That's my girl. That's my girl. Man, nigga, fucking with my girl, man. No. Yeah, yeah, the ego. They be like, you feel what I'm saying? Niggas don't even be in a relationship no more. And be like, no, man, you know, my girl. Oh, that's not your girl no more. She was the other nigga, bro. What the fuck is she talking about? You feel what I'm saying? It be a mentality, man. And niggas and niggas. Let me just tell you something, right? If you're not a strong minded nigga. And so when you. You don't have that self respect and that self dignity and pride could be a bad thing, but pride can also be a fucking great thing. When when when everybody doubts you and everybody, like when your woman threw you out to the trash, when you was at your loneliest point, that was a doubt. And you ain't she never thought you was going to bounce back. That's when the pride supposed to kick in. All right, you doubt with me? Y'all think I'm you think I'm done? All right, so then. You use that pride to build you up for the comeback. But then when you come back, you don't allow a bitch to that left you for dead to come back. That's just not how the game work. Because in life, for me, it's like this. You fool me once, that's on you. You fool me twice. Now I'm the fucking idiot. You mean to tell me I seen you get out on me and then I allowed you to come back again to get out on me again. So. You got to have a certain type of respect and pride and motherfucking resilience in this in yourself to snap up out of that shit. Because when the monkey on your back, when the monkey on your back, you feel like the monkey ain't going to never get off your back. Then when the monkey finally get off your back, you don't even view that woman the same way. You be like, damn, I can't even believe I was in love with that bitch. Like that means she had me fucked up like that. I wish tripping. We got some more questions. This is New York all the way. My question is why do friends turn on each other? That was his question. That was his question. Well, I'm a tab of that. A lot of friends don't turn in each other. People that never was friends turned on each other. Because friendship turned into a brotherhood if it was real. If it was really real, it's something that you have. And when you got real friendship with somebody, you can communicate to them about anything and y'all really can get through it. So a lot of times people just be fucking with you because they be around just in case. Right. You got people, you got a lot of people out here because you'll see people dealing with each other, but they want some just in case relationship. It's not really like I really fuck with you, you know, like we really got. And when I say it, like a lot of times we think that really being a brother or really being tight with somebody, man, women, whoever it is, is about the roughest moments. And not just the know a lot of times it's about being ever to have some real dialogue and communication. It's not even about no. We got to go through some rough stuff in order to see. No, it's about being ever to say, man, this is what it is. So I just think a lot of people out here, especially now, it's like now people meet each other and be like, you my day one. And I'd be like, how long you all knew each other? All right. Oh, I met a man. We was working together man, last week, last week. How the fuck is that your day? No, because, you know, that was a new word that came about since when I was in the joint and come home and I'm here in day one. So I'm thinking like, oh, damn, they grew up together. You know, sandbox, we came up. No, no, we what happened was we met each other last last year. We're. That's your day one. And I'm not I'm not nobody to judge, because sometimes you can run into somebody and connect. And really establish a real bond based off of like, damn, we we two are like people, we just from different parts of the world, we connect because, you know, and it ain't just about friends. It could be about family also. And let me just say this, too. Like a lot of a lot of friendships and relationships and shit is breaking up because of social media. Because of entitlement. Because of shit that really don't matter. You feel what I'm saying? Like, like you have a fucking man at you for because man, they repost my shit or she ain't repost my shit or she ain't like our friendship wasn't based off of none of that shit. Our friendship was based off of we we met, we connected, we was cool. We get together, we watch games together. You feel what I'm saying? We but some somewhere along the line, if if I just so happened to have more followers than you and. And. You feel like, oh, damn, they throw me up for my birth. Like, it'd be a lot of bullshit going on out here. It get deeper than that because it'd be like, and I and I haven't seen situations with you. But I'd be like, you know, I'm not fucking mad at you. Like, what you mean? No, somebody mad at you about something you were supposed to do and they never had a conversation with you about because I'd be like, yo, did you tell Gil that? No, I never told. Oh, well, I know he was supposed to do something for you. Right. No, he just supposed to do it because I'm like, no, that ain't how life works. You know, he got five kids, right? You got five kids and a wife. Dedication isn't born in the light of day. It's carved in the quiet hours before the world blinks awake.

Three grandkids. So I'm like, I'm like, so I'm like, you know, he got like two sisters. Right. Two sisters and a brother. Like he got like 15 different humans as on his mind outside of life and outside of. No, but I ain't saying it like you is saying you saying you super see that thing is going on in his life. Right. And he pulls it put you as a priority that he pulls remember shit. He don't even remember. I'll be at it. He don't even remember shit in his own fucking life. He didn't even remember to put no draws on because at a certain age, he just I'm just saying, no, because I'm just saying, because you go with it. I'm just saying, I'm just throwing it out there because you know, you, you be, you be free balling playing ball. I'm like, oh, because you got to draw 47. You ain't got to win no draws. Max. No, I don't know. Told you. But that's another story. But what I'm saying is I haven't been in a situation. I'm like, and I'm not fucking still have a rebuttal. After I tell him he got 15 people to worry about. But no, what I'm saying is he should have. He should have what? Ain't you a grown man? Ain't you ain't held up. Ain't you a grown man? Ain't you a grown man in America where you could do anything you want to do? So do you tell your woman that you wait for Gail to do something for you? Oh, babe, I gotta wait for Gail. Everything you got to you got to you dependent because obviously you dependent on the whole ass grown man. And I think that's some wild shit. But I think, you know, that's that's the world we live in. And now where people just be like. A man pulls because he said then told me, no, because you were supposed to I said, like he y'all set that up or whatever. No, I said, so you never even told him what he was supposed to do for you. Right. But he just no, because you should have just. And I'm like, OK, it's fucking crazy. Because I told you that when I came home that it was crazy. I was like, it's crazy out here. You got some you got a lot of like people. The entitlement shit is crazy. It's crazy. I didn't understand it because. And you know, as well, that's coming from a nigga that's coming home from jail would never ask nobody for nothing. I don't ask nobody for nothing. So I'm just like I could I could see me like this. Is this is coming from a nigga that's coming home from doing 20 years. He went to jail when he was a kid. Think about this. Went to jail when he was a kid, 17 years old, come home at 37. Nobody. On the streets. Could be like. Wallow asked me for anything other than some game. Think about that. Even even if a motherfucker gave him some money when he came home, he didn't ask for it. Even a motherfucker threw him a stack, whatever motherfucker made it through you. You know, I was selling them t-shirts and guilt. Right. You're right. Remember him? You he never came home from jail and asked nobody for nothing. And I wasn't mad at nobody. I wasn't mad. It wasn't entitled. I was like nobody. Oh, the nigga, nothing. He wasn't on the tough shit. Oh, no, he he was on some because I got to put some work in and establish something out here so that I can get me some money out here. And I don't give a fuck. I'm not going back to jail. I'm not J walking. I mean, and everybody thought I was getting in a car with a nigga that no remote leads to I'm not even right with it. No, you feel what I'm saying? Like, like, so. When he see motherfuckers, that's entitled. It's like. Is this shit for real? I can't believe it. Like, it's like cuz it's like grown men really act like this. Like, so they built me up on that game when you came home.

When they aren't a self starter, they say they want X, Y and Z, but they don't want to put in the work to get it and the shit's going forward and they either got to get it or get off. How do you deal with that? They're a lifelong friend. Peace. I'm going to say this. Sometimes it's not good business to get in business with a friend. We're good to get in business with a friend. That's one thing I'm going to say. Second of all, I think the best thing you can do in business is know your strengths and respect your weaknesses. Know what you're good at doing just because he might not be good at doing what you do. You know what I'm saying? He might help somewhere else in the business. Figure that out and have a conversation about it so y'all could be able to come together and form like Votron and turn it up because he just might not be strong as you in the business, but he might have brought some money to it or he might go get some money or he might get some other help or he might have some different resources. But I don't think, you know, a lot of times it ain't always, you're not always going to find two people that do exactly the same thing. You know what I'm saying? What do you think? I mean, that's pretty much a good answer. Like, you know, Walla was, he is great in certain areas. I'm great in certain areas. You know what I mean? And that's, that's what, that's the key about running a great business. You know what I mean? You got to have great business partners. Number one, people that want to work. Number two, and people that's willing to have conversations. Number three, whether it's good conversations, bad conversations and different. So that's what really makes business work. You know what I mean? And I think if, if you, to the point where you feel as though, you know, you got to carry on me, I mean, he ain't putting the work in there. Maybe you should work something out with though. We could, you know, pay you and get your money and get you off the motherfucking job. Now we're going to get into something that's very important in a day's time. The truth about making real money. A lot of people want to make real money. Everybody talk about what's the money, money, money, money, money, but they don't understand the side effects of real money. Um, I wasn't, you know, Gil been seeing real money since I don't know when. Uh, like he got, you know, he got his first check about 1999, 1999, um, three years after I signed him to this universal deal, this five, 60 deal, I put him out. I still ain't never getting no money from that. I'll burn you to smoke. But like it took me a long time to get some real money, you know, when I came home, but I wasn't really, and I'm going to say this and I could say this about you too. Getting some real money was crazy as the journey to getting some real money. A lot of times you don't even be locked in to just getting the money. You just be grinding. And that's what really gets you there. Gil was doing the music thing and he was just turning it up. He was just grinding. You know what I'm saying? Cause a lot of times when the real money comes, you're not even expecting that check cause you so busy working cause you don't even know that your work is worth this much. What's the money off you something? You know what I'm saying? Like you just be like, I'm grinding. I'm doing my thing and that's what it is. And like you got a thing. Our situation for million dollars came in six months. Quick. That probably was the quickest thing that ever came in the e-vibes in life. And it was like, it was quick. And I was like, but, but in retrospect, it really wasn't quick because I was doing million dollars worth of games since 2012. But no, I'm talking about, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the, I know what you're saying. I'm talking about the structural pie. I'm not talking about. Absolutely. You know what I'm saying? So I'm talking about, you know, it was, we was, you was doing it already, but I'm talking about for us to just start something in a different format. Right. This is like, if you walk in versus you race car. So you know what I mean? So it was like to be able to take that amount of time and before to be able to do like that, it was like, damn, but we wasn't even thinking about it. We just got a call. You know, we got a call and it was like, oh, shit. You know what I mean? But we was just having fun. Bitten. And I think a lot of people lose that because what happened is everybody, and we know you got to get some money. We know that. But I think people don't go into it just perfected it. And we was perfected at every episode. You just, you just perfected and perfected and perfected. And then actually, you know, that comment and you keep doing it and people want to and it's just, it's just the money come. But when the money come, the problems that come and follow is different. I think it's just different. You know, I remember one time I was at this game and some celebrity game thing. I just going up there to talk with some, I wasn't even matter of fact, was that the time I dropped 30? I don't know. I probably played it, but it don't matter. But I go to this game. And I hit Gil. I'm like, yo, man, there's an article about how much money we made in the joint that one time the first time. I'm like, what the? Because you like, oh, shit. Because, you know, you know, a little different about me than I did. And I just changed a lot of stuff, man. It got, you know, it's like, you know, as soon as the money come on, people know you got money. Shit coming from all, I'm talking about problems from all types of places and then and backs again to the title man. And people don't understand taxes and they don't understand all type of stuff. You got to pay tax. You got to take care of this. And people just was like, they got, I think you got more crazy for you than it did for me. Yeah, they got way here. I was because it got crazier for me because people expect less from you. Yeah, because I come home because you come home from jail. You know what I mean? I always been been here. I've been doing it. It was on your you know what I mean? So but the reality of it is, you know, it's like. When you trying to make it to a certain, you know, point in life, you know what I'm saying financially, you know, survivors remorse is a real thing. Like and it's like. Say somebody call you, you know what I mean? And they like I'm late on my rent. I'm late on my rent. And, you know, they saying, you know, I need the thirty five hundred. You know what I mean? And you actually got thirty five hundred that you could you could give them. You know what I mean? Somewhere along the line. I know got to start coming in. True. Because. You got people out here, right? That if you're back bone form or you know what I'm saying? You somebody that they can, you know, count on financially. And you know, you do do do do do pretty good for yourself. And they feel as though they could count on you financially. If you ain't got no nose in you. You find motherfuckers doing shit that they normally wouldn't do. Like going to a hookah lounge or going to a club or going to a venue or spending some money on some shit that they know they wasn't supposed to. Because in the back of their mind, they like this is where I can spend this money right here. Because I know it. I know worse come to worse. I could go to X, Y and Z. And they got me. So somewhere along the line, man, you know, knows got to start coming in. You know what I'm saying? If you don't know how to say no, you'll be a motherfucker that that go from having something to having nothing really, really fucking fast. It's crazy because. Like I didn't see you know, I didn't see any shit. You know what I mean? And to be like, you know, you get into this point and. I ain't on front. When the money came. I think I was more happy, go lucky than you probably was to where as though I didn't have the. Because I was just looking out for people. Something like naturally, that's what you pose to do, which I am dumb like, right here. I'm doing this, right? But I ain't like the one part that I didn't know. I didn't know that I couldn't say no. That's the part that nobody tell you. That's the part you really don't know that you can't say no after you say. And then now when you say no, it's like, it's all this other stuff coming. It's like, no, I can't do it this time. It's a long text. It's the damn, you know, you. A week later, you different. A week later, you different. You this and sometimes just playing in your mind because I don't know. Because it's my first time living in life. Right. So I'm just looking at life and I'm just like, damn. So. I tell somebody, no, I can't do it because I'm like, damn, I just because I'm looking at the joint like, damn, I just sent all this or whatever it may be. And it's like, now you're the worst person. You did. You the bad guy. You this, you ain't got time for nobody. You from you in Hollywood. And I remember one time I did say something to somebody. There's like, damn, man, you don't want Hollywood. I'm like, yeah, I always be out there. I didn't even know. I didn't even know to shoot. You didn't even know that was the same. No, I knew it was the same, but I ain't catching it at the time. Man, you went Hollywood, man. But I ain't even paying attention. I'm just in the joint. I'm like, yeah, I always be out there, man. That's my. Because I'm thinking he's seen like a video, man, like, you went out like you made it. I'm thinking like they said, because I'm not even thinking I had a video like within that week range, what I was doing on on on Sunset, right? So I'm like, yeah, I always be out there. That's my job. And then when they responded to get, I realized that was that. Oh, they were dissing you. Yeah, they was. Yeah. That was like, that was like, you know, because it's like a lot of times we, you know, the struggle is really respected in certain coming from certain environments, like when you struggling, yeah, you're real one. You solid, you this, then a third. The moment you come about it, and you ain't got to worry about certain things. You ain't struggling or you ain't trying to figure it out. Or somebody don't see that you, you barely there. You not almost there. You as a chance that you might not make it. They be like, damn, he passed that mark. She passed that mark. And you thinking like, damn, you think you be people be happy to where it's though. I went through a phase where it was like. I wasn't even trying to celebrate my success for a minute. You know what I mean? You'll be like, you used to be like, man. Man, why you got that many iconic summer moments deserve an iconic drink. Reach for Mountain Dew, an American original from its beginnings, new foothills of Tennessee, for your biggest summer yet.

Look for Mountain Dew in stores near you at Mountain Dew.com. That's Mountain Dew.com. Man, I used to be driving my minivan. You was happy. She didn't. I'm driving my minivan, right? Coming through in the minivan. I'm all happy. This that third whole time I'm in the minivan. I'm getting notifications. I mean, from Chase, I mean, million dollar, multi million dollar wires hitting. I'm just like, I fuck it. And my minivan got my seat back. Got the AC bump and I'm back. I'm going to the gas station vacuuming out, spraying it. I'm spraying the carpet down with the air freshener stuff. Got my carpet off smelling good. I'm like, I got my pillow in the back. I'm getting multi million dollar wires through Chase. And I'm like, just looking at the notification going back, going in to get my sunflower seed set. I'm setting my little my tray up inside of my car. Got my little my gum in there coming through, chilling, parking up in the park. All this. And you like, yo, man, I'm like, I was too afraid to. The show success because I ain't want to feel like I'm better than somebody. And that's going through. And that was going through my mind. I'm like, and you spent and then we just like, man, you tell me, man, do something for yourself, do something. Then I go and do something for myself. I buy a car, made back Lamborghini, whatever. And then I won't even drive it. Right. You used to be like, man, why are you going to drive your cars? I'm like, uh, I had a ship in the garage, some shit or I remember I had a Porsche, man, $300,000 Porsche parked outside like through the winter and anything. Just rat not even driving that shit. Then he didn't drive it. And it was like. And it was like, because you get to a point where you just be like, damn, you'll be battling with I ain't trying to act like I'm better than nobody. Or I don't want nobody feeling bad about themselves or their circumstances. Because the bottom line, because it's right. And I'm I'm going to say this with all due respect. Right. At 49 years old and at 46 years old, our job is not to be out here battling with niggas. Like we is not in competition with none of y'all niggas, man. Nobody, no podcast, no radio, nobody that's in the same space as us. We ain't in competition with no niggas, man. So, you know, if you sit around on any motherfucking platform and you mention us and it's not in the possible and it's not in the positive way. Man, fuck you, man. Straight like that, man, because we don't talk about niggas, man. We don't gossip about niggas. We don't mention niggas. The only time we ever mention niggas is if it's in a positive light, man. We forty nine years old, man. Forty six years old, man. What we look like sitting around like hoes talking about other niggas unless it's in a positive light, man. So I just want y'all to know to nobody out there is we in competition with you. We don't want to compete with you. We want to eat with you. It's a difference. We don't want to shoot you. We want to salute you. It's a difference. You feel what I'm saying? So I just wanted that to be said. We ain't in competition with no niggas, man. We trying to be the best versions of us that we can be. It's not our fault that we can make a living not being messy niggas, man. Not talking about niggas, not acting like hoes. All in niggas business and shit. It's not our fault, man. It's not our fault, man. We try to give our game as guidance, attention, motivation and education, man. And that's to the youth. We don't need directed to no old niggas, because we know you. Niggas is stuck in your ways. But if you all pick up on some of this game and you want to apply it in your life, we salute you. But we ain't in competition with no niggas, man. So I just want to throw that out there, man. Like you sometimes you don't have to be in competition with people with the sad thing is about it is like, you know, especially with me, I think it's hard for some people to deal with that. They was out here all their life and I wasn't. I came out here and I smoked it. It's hard. That's hard, because like, you know what I'm saying? So a lot of times that's just hard to stomach, because it's like you was out here all this time and this dude came out here to surpass you. Right. Doing what you're doing or doing more. Right. And a lot of it is that motherfuckers feel like you shouldn't be in a position that you went because he did a thousand years in jail. He did a thousand years under the moon in the sun. And in real life, I've been out here. I've been out here my whole time. Oh, I got a college degree. I got a I got I got this and that and this and that. No, it gets about the work he put in. And a lot of motherfuckers sit back and they be jealous because they be like, how you do that shit? How you kick niggas asses? He did seventy three hundred fucking days in jail, man. And sometimes it be about the response you get that they don't get when you walk in the room, the way people speak about your name, the way people show you love, like, you know, I'm saying a lot of a lot of hate come from it. Come from the lack of love that somebody don't get. They don't really come from that they hate you. They just like, damn, why did why do every smile like that for him? Right. Why do they why do they support him like that? Right. Why when the niggas walk in the room, the room light up? Yeah. Well, because we leave with respect. That's why we leave with love. That's why we out and about in the real world. That's why we is not confined to our asses sitting on some couches. We everywhere like broken glass. That's why. Living life, man. Living life. That's why. So, you know, when y'all when y'all sit around on them couches, man, and y'all mentioned niggas, man, just make sure it's in a positive light, man, because we don't talk about niggas unless it's in a positive light, man. Niggas is too old to be talking about niggas in any other in any other way than a positive light. So, um, yeah, we got something else on there. And the end it off, I'm just going to keep winning. It's easy. It's easy, because it's easy. Yeah, you know, but but like, you know, when the money comes, a lot of problems. A lot of problems come, a lot of success. And it's just a big difference when you want people to be there, but they don't want to put the work to be there. So you can't take anybody with you some time. And you want to take people. You want to do things for people and you want to be able to. Have people that, you know, showing things, but. But you also want people to be, uh, you know, very, um, appreciative for the things you do for them. You feel what I'm saying? That's the worst when you do something, you know, no matter, no matter how small, how large somebody do something for me, I appreciate that shit. And they know that I appreciate that shit. You know what I mean? You'll have a motherfucker call you with a life on the line. Hey guys, it's Big Cat. When you're on a long road trip, traveling between cities, anything can happen. Flat tires, endless traffic, stopping to see a 50 foot wooden alligator. But I suspect everything actually happens for a Reese's. Like is grit week really a time to visit different training camps or is it just an excuse to check out different places to get a Reese's? And when we stopped to fuel up, or are we really stopping to refuel on a Reese's? After countless miles thinking about chocolate and peanut butter, it all starts to make sense that everything happens for a Reese's. And you'll help them get their life off the line. And then they don't even really appreciate that shit. So that's another form of like, what the fuck's going on? Like how can I win? I can't win. If you look out for motherfuckers, they mad at you. You don't look out for motherfuckers, they mad at you. So how can the fuck can I win? Yeah, that's deep. It's real deep because it's like, if you look out, it's like, yeah, I remember Remy Maugh said, she says, I'm a deep right here. She said, they don't want what you do for them. They want what you got. And it's like, it never happens. So they just keep coming and they can't be becoming that. So sometimes it'd be like, damn. Real tall. Like some of the people that might hate you the most is the people you do the most for. Think about that shit, cuz. That's a sad reality. It'd get deep. But it is a reality. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? You were sitting there, man. The plug was giving you 10 pounds, man. You was mad. You thought you deserved 30. He was giving you 10 pounds of reggie. You thought nigga opposed to give me 30, man. I'm killing it out here. No, you was bagging nicks up, man. Shut up. You cool with 10. If you're going to hand in hand, you're going to hand in hand with Nick. He was on the back block going hand in hand with Nick. Let me just say. Nick's reggie. The fact you have fat bags, though they say. Fuck out. It was some reggie, some seasoning, but you're going to hand in hand. Let me just say something. It's not a moment that I was proud of.

How many nicks you get out of packs? You know me back like 400, honey. You know me to buck 50. I don't do crazy things. Damn, that's crazy. So it ain't that many nicks in that joint going in. So I'll be going back to the crib like I'm really doing something. Yeah, I got the pack out of there. Packing up. Yo, you understand. You had boys go to war, back and forth with an ounce. What? I'm talking about a pound. I'm going to know what a pound was a pound. Yeah, niggas would have killed you about a pound of Reggie. Oh, yeah. That shit was like, that shit, that shit.

Yeah, but they was getting that shit from Jamaican and Cali. That shit was 400. That shit was 400. That shit was 400 to pal. No, how much was an ounce? They get back in and sell that shit for like 800 niggas. Niggas back in the ball seats. Niggas hit the back. Niggas like this. She hit nigga. I'm the fuck. I ain't remember I was in the house.

Yeah, but then they realized they weren't making that much money. Money, yeah. They had to throw that shit. A lot of the wheat was the fucking seeds. Don't call that shit back up.
