3:21
gotta be part Gatherings nothing nah man
3:23
nah I mean to go you go to the fyl store
3:26
that's where you go we just opened up
3:28
the store I saw you promoting that on
3:30
your Instagram yesterday man that's the
3:31
fyo that now I gotta I opened up a store
3:34
on my block on 16th Street and mermaid
3:36
Avenue the fyl store it's a big deal
3:38
that's how culture starts though yeah
3:40
absolutely because you're going to be
3:41
doing open mics and stuff like that at
3:43
the store you're gonna do everything
3:44
there so it started with when the Bing
3:46
Bong stuff and all of that went viral I
3:48
started seeing like tourists coming to
3:50
my block like and and there was there
3:53
was people from France Holland Australia
3:56
Japan and I would be like yo these
3:57
people are coming in the middle of the
3:58
hood like this is crazy
4:01
said let me capitalize off of this
4:04
let me open up this store so they were
4:07
coming asking for nyms or just looking
4:09
for places you named in raps they would
4:11
the rap stuff they were coming to see
4:12
the black with all that Bing Bong Joe
4:14
Byron stuff happened but don't ever
4:16
disrespect me videos I do they just want
4:19
to see like authentic part of the
4:21
culture so they come to the block and
4:23
for years I was selling my merch like
4:25
meeting up with people on my blog anyway
4:27
so it was just like a store up front
4:29
opened up the the owner of the building
4:31
already knew who I was and was like yo
4:33
you got it if you want it and gave me a
4:35
good price and we opened up shop on the
4:37
Block I love it man see this is um this
4:39
is hip-hop though like we met him at the
4:41
MC now we know him as a a business owner
4:44
as well as an emcee and then you're uh
4:47
you're a Vanguard in Coney Island you're
4:49
a leader absolutely because now it's a
4:51
lot of kids coming up believing they can
4:53
do what they dream about doing because
4:55
they see you doing it right it was never
4:57
anybody that came up look Brooklyn's
4:59
Finest Hoven uh and big like they didn't
5:02
even shout out Coney Island and that's a
5:04
big part of Brooklyn anybody from
5:06
Brooklyn knows Coney Island is a big
5:08
part it's at the bottom of Brooklyn but
5:09
like I took offense to that you know we
5:11
never had no rappers coming out of Coney
5:13
Island so that's why wherever when I was
5:16
in The Fight Club wherever I go as soon
5:17
as I walk in the building yo Coney
5:19
Island in this [ __ ] like let
5:20
[ __ ] know where we at with it
5:23
um because I never had nobody to look up
5:25
to like yo this guy made it let me let
5:28
me get next to him and maybe he could uh
5:31
leave me in the right direction nobody
5:33
was there so I wanted to be that you
5:35
mentioned Stefan Marbury though he's
5:37
yeah so yeah the Barberry family uh his
5:39
brothers as well they all went to
5:41
Abraham Lincoln and I know that because
5:43
Kenny Parker KRS one's brother went to
5:46
Abraham Lincoln High School so Kenny
5:48
would speak about having to travel from
5:49
where he lived and best style to go all
5:51
the way out to Coney Island just to go
5:53
to high school to hoop so it was crazy
5:55
like that he knew the history so shout
5:57
out to Abraham Lincoln the rail
5:58
Splitters yeah now there's a big we got
6:01
Sebastian Telford we got Stephon Marbury

I worked together yeah Tory is on a
6:31
couple of my past projects Toray is

6:36
I I mess with Tori A1 but um we always
6:40
been you know we we the generation that
6:42
was coming out before us there was
6:44
nothing yeah that wasn't so when you do
6:46
like the vibe how did the viral moments
6:48
you feel like helped your career like
6:50
the you know don't ever disrespect me
6:51
became so huge well well it started with
6:54
the Bing Bong stuff and that I mean you
6:56
can't get wrong what is is that
6:58
something is that a Coney Island thing
7:00
or nah but I'll tell you what everybody
7:01
thinks it has something to do with the
7:03
train it has absolutely nothing to do
7:04
with the train like I never I haven't
7:06
rode the train in like 10 years
7:13
[Laughter]
7:15
but it was it started from me showing my
7:18
merch every Saturday I would drop new
7:19
merch so I would just put all the merch
7:21
out on my throughout my living room and
7:23
be like it's it started it started
7:25
because it's hip-hop so you
7:28
so I would just be like yo check this
7:30
new [ __ ] bang bang and then one day I
7:32
was just playing around I was like bing
7:34
bong bing bong check this Bing Bong
7:36
people started laughing and then we
7:38
started saying it in Coney Island I was
7:40
like yo we got something here and then
7:41
when I did the side talk episode I said
7:43
it and then it just took off from there
7:45
Bing Bong yeah you could get rich by
7:47
saying beans Kalani let that be a lesson
7:50
Nephew just say something and you can
7:53
get rich what was also really smart
7:55
going back to how you capitalize you did
7:57
it so well names is that um 2021 you
8:00
also put out the record absolutely let's
8:02
talk about because you have been active
8:05
in this culture for so long was it crazy
8:07
to you that two words in ad-lib that
8:11
that would be what goes viral and then
8:13
takes your career to another level
8:15
absolutely um I knew I always knew
8:18
throughout my whole life like I know
8:20
this is what I wanted what I want to do
8:22
with life like I wasn't willing to give
8:23
it up for nothing so I knew there was
8:25
going to be some point that was going to
8:27
get me to the next level I didn't know
8:29
what it was but what I could just do as
8:32
a as a hustler and a artist is just keep
8:36
setting myself up so when that moment
8:37
did happen I was ready yes you were so
8:40
when Bing Bong happened before it went
8:42
viral I already knew we had something
8:44
because everybody was saying it but in
8:46
my neighborhood in Coney Island and
8:47
stuff so I was like I'm gonna name a
8:48
song bing bong and the album came out in
8:51
like
8:52
um August of 2021 it didn't really go
8:54
right the whole viral thing then
8:56
happened to like November right so it
8:57
was perfect timing yeah so I just like
8:59
set myself up for the win like boom and
9:02
I own Bing Bong I own don't ever
9:03
disrespect wait a minute you trademarked
9:06
that you hear that Michael somebody put
9:08
the camera on mic news absolutely Mike
9:10
Muse got a whole organization called law
9:12
Champs and on this show for years we've
9:15
been teaching and telling folks before
9:17
it became uh you know a hook for the
9:21
internet we've been telling people
9:22
Heather and I both you know came in the
9:24
game as artists and owned our publishing
9:26
and in the whole nine how important in
9:28
trademarking and all of these things are
9:30
Mike Muse you want to talk to that man I
9:32
don't
9:35
it was a funny I had been looking at
9:37
scram's t-shirt the whole time Bing Bong
9:39
was not connecting the dots that there
9:41
was Bing bongs absolutely that was
9:43
happening but no I think it's really
9:44
important that Frank went out there
9:45
always talk about the importance of
9:47
intellectual property as social justice
9:48
and too often things in our culture we
9:51
say these things and we don't recognize
9:52
as a monetary value because we don't
9:54
even value what we say as a culture in
9:56
our isms and so ladies and gentlemen if
9:58
you have a saying if you have a quote a
10:00
lot of us are very popular on tick tock
10:03
on Instagram and Twitter if you have a
10:04
saying it's very popular and people are
10:06
catching on to it I encourage you and
10:07
try your best to get it trademarked and
10:10
patent even if you can't do it attempt
10:12
to do it and make the effort uh because
10:14
once people start saying it you'll be
10:16
able to charge them for those that are
10:18
saying it and so it's important that we
10:20
start valuing our isms um in order to
10:23
move forward with that so yeah we're
10:24
doing that thank you I did an interview
10:26
with monster energy for the 50 years of
10:28
hip-hop it was me it was Nori um Grant
10:31
but Grandmaster cast oh so they were
10:33
saying on the ax cast like yo did you
10:36
notice he this was good hip-hop was
10:38
gonna be this he was like no he said if
10:40
I did I would I would own the word
10:41
hip-hop you know what I'm saying so it's
10:44
kind of like we have past Generations
10:47
that
10:49
kind of dropped the ball not because
10:51
they couldn't just because the knowledge
10:53
wasn't there right so you you got to
10:56
learn from that you know what I'm saying
10:57
you know what else was going to run with
10:59
I said yo before the Knicks get that I
11:01
made it you made that [ __ ] there you go
11:03
come on them and the other thing is
11:06
um
11:07
it's not even so much that we dropped
11:10
the ball they were hiding the ball no
11:12
absolutely right 100 yeah the the
11:14
industry was hiding the ball so you're
11:16
hearing all of this information
11:18
decades later after the first rap album
11:21
was ever put out and we're starting to
11:23
find information but that's what growth
11:25
and that's what evolution and that's
11:26
what progress is all about you represent
11:28
progress Nims man look at scram too
11:31

12:05
out to scram Jones I think it was just
12:07
last night yeah and we kind of had back
12:10
and forth about this song I love this
12:11
song for Nims um I love it how it sounds
12:14
sonically I love the way y'all mixed
12:16
this project it's a lot of stimulation
12:18
in these in these songs and in these
12:21
interludes uh that they put together pay
12:24
attention to this song you'll get to
12:25

12:41
song right here that's dope love it
12:44
that's your what they call it Magnus oh
12:48
um magnum opus yes yes
12:52
this song really touched me
12:54
um impacted me uh for a number of
12:57
reasons uh first of all I felt like I
12:59
got to know you more than I've known you
13:00
yeah over the years I told you you did
13:02
that song grateful that I played earlier
13:04
that I feel like I got to know you but
13:05
now I got to know you now and one of the
13:08
things I thought was really powerful and
13:11
your vulnerability is when you talking
13:14
to God and uh and you what do you say I
13:17
used to hate you God I grew up hating
13:20
you but now I understand and now born is
13:22
unbreakable we ride we ride talk about
13:25
that relationship you grew up hating God
13:27
or at least nah absolutely um
13:31
my father passed away when I was four
13:32
yeah you know what I'm saying um and and
13:36
at that time
13:38
he had HIV and that was looked upon like
13:41
my father wasn't gay he was a drug
13:43
addict but he was an intravenous drug
13:46
user heroin addict and um you know back
13:49
then it was looked on like a death
13:50
sentence where people were scared to
13:51
touch you and a lot of you know when it
13:54
first was out and uh
13:56
you know
13:58
blessed me and my mother then you know
14:00
then contracted but um we you know I've
14:04
always wondered you know I grew up
14:05
fatherless you know my mother tried to
14:07
you know was Raising me but
14:09
my mother was an addict too you know she
14:11
was clean until I was like 16 then she
14:13
relapsed and then it was just like so
14:14
for a while it was like yo why is all of
14:16
this happening to me and I didn't
14:18
understand it but it's like hindsight is
14:20
20 20. you know what I'm saying you look
14:22
back and you're like yo these moments
14:23
needed to happen to make me the person I
14:25
am today and I'm I'm blessed and I'm
14:27
happy to be the person I am today my
14:29
mother now is like the ultimate church
14:31
lady I feel like that's a big reason why
14:33
I'm blessed because her prayers every
14:35
day she prays for me every day and she
14:37
got a man whole Squad of Prayer Warriors
14:39
that pray for me as well so I feel like
14:41
I walk with like a bubble of protection
14:43
over me at all times in this you know um
14:47
and you know you look back at life and
14:49
you know things some things you know
14:50
something's got to happen so you can get
14:52
through the other side and be like yo I
14:54
made it and it's okay to go through that
14:56
and speak to people that have also been
14:58
through that what project did you went
15:01
from hating God to embracing God
15:04
nah it's um it's a it's a process I
15:07
can't name just like one okay um one
15:10
album but it's a gradual process as you
15:12
grow as a man as you mature and uh it
15:16
just it happens I love that man now I'm
15:18
just here man Tracy go ahead also from
15:21
this song you speak about embracing rest
15:25
and I was like yo I never heard a dude
15:27

drugs homeless and in and out of jail
17:17
and you know I went from that side of
17:20
life to living how I am now I bought
17:22
myself out I got my mom's a house and
17:24
this is before the deal with with you
17:26
know um Goliath rosenbergs and all that
17:28
Ben did that
17:30
um so I'm I'm grateful to live both
17:32
sides of Life man I love it yeah man
17:35
names man Nims is up here Mike news
17:38
wow yeah I was gonna ask you uh nibs
17:40
before you mentioned that you were
17:41
actually was on drugs what was your
17:42
coping mechanism because I was curious
17:44
your vulnerability you shared about your
17:46
father passing away and HIV and the AIDS
17:48
and the stigma associated with that and
17:50
then your mother relapsing at 16. so I
17:52
was wondering if the comedy of the
17:54
writing was a coping mechanism but it's
17:55
interesting that you will also do
17:57
addicted to drugs and not a seller of
17:58
drugs
18:00
in the beginning
18:02
I was in the beginning probably like the
18:05
early age because when my mother
18:06
relapsed when I was 16 she got back
18:09
clean when I was like 18 and she's been
18:12
clean ever since but right when she got
18:14
clean I started getting high and just
18:17
like I was always smoking weed and
18:18
taking pills but then it just you know I
18:21
I messed up was it coping mechanism it
18:23
had to be well now I look back and and I
18:25
looked now that I've been cleaning now
18:27
for like 13 years but like wow
18:28
tremendous when I look back 100 it had
18:33
to do with the pain of you know anger
18:35
and childhood and seeing parents you
18:37
know like your whole world just
18:40
collapses you know the whole stability
18:42
that my mother provided until the age of
18:44
16 just jumped out the wind just went
18:47
out the window when she relapsed and we
18:48
was back she was she lost the house she
18:51
was living in in Staten Island I went
18:52
right back to Coney Island right back
18:54
into the projects I was like yo we back
18:55
at square one man like and now at this
18:58
time I'm a grown man and then to see
18:59
your mother running the streets you know
19:01
it's it's hurtful but as a man you put
19:04
that in you hide that
19:06
and and of course when I look back I'm
19:08
like yo that's that definitely had to
19:10
[ __ ] me up in ways I didn't even realize
19:12
at that time and that was definitely my
19:14
coping mechanism getting high and you
19:17
know everything happens for a reason
19:18
that's a message you know say I'm I can
19:20
get off of it but I think that's very
19:21
interesting he was like as a man I had
19:23
to take it and deal with it but instead
19:25
of actually truly dealing with it and
19:26
being emotional you turn to drugs 100
19:28
and that's the toxic masculinity often
19:31
associated with these conversations is
19:33
that I don't cry I can't show emotions
19:35
but instead you turn to alcoholism you
19:37
turn to drugs I'm really thankful that
19:38
you just share that in this moment and I
19:41
hope that others are listening it can
19:42
heal them that you don't have to take on
19:44
this armor or whatever Society defines
19:46
as a man yep but you could be mostly
19:48
vulnerable so you're not stuck on drugs
19:50
and alcoholism yeah absolutely right me
19:52
I'm just here we talking about the new
19:53
