151 rum is discontinued because it was like literally fire.
If you ever seen a video, you look up on YouTube, there's like videos of 151 rum like in a fucking
lit state or whatever, whatever in flames.
That’s what we used to drink when we was young because that's what we could get.
You know what I'm saying?
It was the cheapest one.
It was probably like 15 bucks or something like that, and the homies, we was like 18
or something.
We probably go to the store, have somebody buy that shit
The initial session I recorded 151.
Christo produced 151.
Him and a dude named Nice Rec.
We had rented a crib out in L.A., and it was a whole house full of creatives, producers.
I remember he first played the beat, and it was crazy because he told me.
He's like, "I know you're gonna, I know you're gonna fuck with this one."
Like, what?
I played it and I was like, "You're right."
It was crazy because when he was making it, it was like a view out of the window, you
could see the whole Hollywood Hills.
We were staying in the hills and shit, so you could see everything and it just fit that
picture whatever, so I was like, "Alright, we do this song, I feel like I need to make
it vivid."
You know what I'm saying?
Because that's how I feel like he created the beat, so I wanted to bring the same energy
type shit.
See, the "Run Ricky run", of course everybody knows it from the movie, but I gotta homie
named Ricky Johnson I played football with.
He was so thugged out.
Bro used to sag his football pants.
Think about that.
We used to sag our pants and shit, but think about the level of like, "I got a game, but
I'm finna sag these pants 'cause that's just what we do."
I'm talking about like niggas that was raised up around wrong motherfuckers and wanna do
the same shit.
And they grow up and some niggas go to jail.
Some niggas goddamn figure this shit out, have babies and shit.
It's just like a never ending cycle.
It ain't that bad 'cause ... It is that bad.
Alright, it is.
You came into this dark situation, a child born into a dark situation.
"Summon a plan.
Please come with a script" is like the next line.
It’s like yall brought me here please, make up a plan for me.
I need ... You know what I'm saying?
I'm gonna need this because I'm a baby.
I don't know what's going on out here in this big world
I was wearing my brother's clothes.
I'm the youngest of fucking seven.
That's why I say, "hand me down.
It's my brother, brother's shit" like, this ain't even his shit.
He's wearing a hand me down, you know what I'm saying, from another brother.
So I'm wearing a hand me down from two other people.
That's why I said it like that.
I just started getting my own clothes and being able to like do shit.
Well, not just, but I ain't been wearing my brother's clothes.
It's always a race against time if you got a lot of goals, you know what I'm saying,
if you got high expectations for yourself.
I have very high expectations for myself, and I try to go and set my goals accordingly
to like what fits or what I feel like I was gifted with or blessed with or, you know,
that type of shit.
I was just basically saying, bro, if you 'bout it, I'm 'bout it too.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what they wanna do.
If they wanna kill.
They as in whoever.
It's not like a specific, what the name, it's just the fucking system, you know what I'm
saying, that was placed on these people of color and shit like that.
I was really trying to get a story of ... I was trying to steer away from like punch lines.
I was trying to steer away from anything that could take away from like the picture that
I was trying to paint.
That's why I was saying certain things and highlighting certain words that would make
you feel like, "Oh I can see that."
If you literally listen to the words, it's more sad than it is like, "Oh he barring."
I'm barring, like it's fun because the beat is getting you, but what I'm talking about,
I was really talking about like some real painful shit for real, for real.
