It's your boy, ant, and everywhere you find your favorite podcast. Alright y'all, welcome back. Welcome to Trinches to Trophies. It's your boy, ant, and we're here to give y'all another dope-ass, motherfucking episode. So today we're going to talk a little bit more about us, right, I feel like before we get too deep into the topics and everything that's like super deep as far as the media and all that bullshit we may touch on a little bit you know what I'm saying, but let's talk a little bit more about us.
Speaker 1:let's go back to our hometown and, if you ain't already got it, if you just now tuning in, we are all from St Louis, missouri, however you reference the city. You know what I'm saying. We, all come from those stomping grounds and not East St Louis, cause that's the thing Like. Every time I tell somebody I'm from St Louis, right, they like, oh, east St Louis, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Those are two different things, no disrespect, but they're definitely two separate cities. You know what I'm saying? East St Louis is technically in Illinois, while St Louis, you know, is on the other side of the bridge.
Speaker 2:You have to tell them it's the city of St Louis.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 2:Because no, not from the east, no disrespect to east side.
Speaker 1:Definitely got fam on the east side. For sure, for sure.
Speaker 2:But it's not the same. But no, it's definitely not the same.
Speaker 1:So, like for me, technically it's definitely not the same. So, like for me, technically, I grew up in the county right, so I definitely was born in North City and then I moved to the county as a youngin' and grew up there in Ferguson. So I spent most of my time there and then I moved around you know what I'm saying different sides of Ferguson, spanish Lake, hazelwood, dalewood, capital Park, like all different parts of whatever you would call St Louis.
Speaker 3:That nigga was a hood hopper.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:That was my trench right, that was one of my trenches. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:We moved around a lot. We relocated quite a bit. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, we relocated quite a bit. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I grew up in U City and then, like my dad, he stayed right off Riverview, right there where Riverview and Broadway, so kind of like Dayton, but it was across the street, so it was like North City. You know what I'm saying. So you know, I grew up in kind of both places, but mainly in U City. And then when we moved, we moved to St Ann. So then I grew up in St Ann, I had my you know middle school and high school in St Ann. So then I grew up in St Ann, I had my middle school and high school in St Ann, but then, no, we went back to North County. We went back and then I went to Berkeley and I graduated from Berkeley or Berkeley-McClure-South.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, that mo used to be a tongue twister, McClure-South-Berkeley which. Mcclure, you went to that mo used to be a ton twisted Bruh.
Speaker 2:Mcclure South. Berkeley, which McClure you went to Berkeley, mcclure South.
Speaker 1:I used to hate that which McClure you went to? Because I went to regular McClure and Hazelwood East. So it was like, because I said I went to Hazelwood East, which one Hazelwood East? Oh, okay, you went to McClure, regular McClure, right there off 270 Regular McClure.
Speaker 2:But that was they fault, because they put they just At first it was Berkeley.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and then they put All the F-bass. And shit on there. Yeah, trying to be.
Speaker 2:Politically correct and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:My youngest years. What I can remember, I Grew up in the county but then I was always in my grandma's house on weekends in the summers over there in Bay it wasn't no part of the whole ring. I used to go to St Matthews that school over there, Over there on Ring man I remember that's my oldest memory Is in that school. This nigga wanted my lunch.
Speaker 1:Go eat your cone. Like for real, though, like.
Speaker 3:That's crazy and I'm straight Thinking about that. At that age I had to be like my daughter, age Like four or five, because All I remember Is dude, this light skinned dude, little kid, said Then give me your lunch. I'm like, nah, I hit him. This dude, this light-skinned dude, little kid said then give me your lunch. I'm like nah, I hit him with the tray and I remember his mouth was bleeding, that's it. And I hit him with the tray with the food that's it.
Speaker 2:That's all I remember and I remember.
Speaker 3:I remember my sister. I shouldn't be laughing. For some reason I had left out of my classroom and looked in the hallway and I looked out and I seen my sister getting whooped by the teacher.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that used to happen back in the day, though that used to be acceptable back then, for sure, yeah.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying, but it was crazy. For some reason at that time I would look out the door and see that you know what I'm saying. But yeah, so that was a regular thing growing up there at St Matthew's School. Then I went to learn more in the county, graduated from E.
Speaker 1:That's when I met this nigga Bro. It's so crazy, bro, because it's like when I came to E, because I always been like a nigga who was cool with everybody. But I ain't roll with a certain set of niggas. Like I got niggas who I've been cool with since, like kindergarten, that I call on, you know what I'm saying. That's been my niggas forever. But at the same time it's like when my nigga linked up, it was like, damn, this is the nigga I was rolling with. Like me and this nigga used to uh, go to multiple lunches. We used to nigga and just be kicking it at a nigga lunch, just chilling, bro, hiding from security guards and shit.
Speaker 1:That shit used to be funny bro.
Speaker 3:Shout out Steve Harvey, and I think he passed away though.
Speaker 1:Did he Damn?
Speaker 3:I don't want to put that on. I don't want to put that on in the atmosphere. I hope not. We used to do the same shit though.
Speaker 1:Shout out to the Spartans.
Speaker 2:We used to skip lunch Dog, my partner. This dude went to school Every day With nothing in his book bag. That did go to no class, bruh.
Speaker 1:But I used to do that. Sometimes I can't even talk shit Like I was Bruh To be so smart. My ass was so stupid, bro, it was just doing shit Like nigga I would. I would legit go to class With nothing, would have pencils and books and notebooks In my locker.
Speaker 2:Bruh, I just wasn't Paying attention bro Bruh like was doing Dumb shit.
Speaker 3:And that's how they knew. That's how they knew that we wasn't gonna be successful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's how they knew. I ain't gonna lie. I used to piss teachers off, bro.
Speaker 3:You went to class with nothing, bruh.
Speaker 2:I don't. I learned the same as these motherfuckers. Yeah, that shit was different. That's all I could have.
Speaker 1:I just didn't give a fuck. That was my problem. I just didn't give a shit, Bro.
Speaker 2:I don't learn like them. I cannot sit up there and watch you teach and me follow along. I can't do it. So that's why I got put in alternative school. When they put me in alternative school, I was amazing. They gave me a packet and said finish it by the end of the semester. Bet.
Speaker 1:Bet I got you Bitch, fuck you talking about. I got you Last week.
Speaker 3:I'm on it so it was at your own pace, yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I remember that I ain't never.
Speaker 3:I have homies and that shit. That's the type of environment I thrive in, like that.
Speaker 1:Like move at your own pace. Type shit I feel like a lot of people.
Speaker 3:Would have Tech like environment.
Speaker 1:That was the fucked up part With school, bro. They didn't take into account that other people learn different. They just taught you One set weight. You know what I'm saying? That's crazy.
Speaker 3:Man shout out to whoever All the niggas who went to North Tech.
Speaker 1:North Tech was like Luxury school, though Niggas who went to North Tech Was like yeah, I get off Early on Thursdays and shit.
Speaker 2:Niggas was like yeah yeah, yeah, I get out of school. You had to be, you had to have a good Like GPA and shit, yeah yeah, you had to be on your shit. You couldn't be a me student.
Speaker 1:Nah, nah, you couldn't be Fucking around and didn't expect to go to North Tech.
Speaker 2:Nah, they was like hell. Nah, he been in ISS 15 times this year, bro, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1:But the thing is they made ISS cool, because all the kids that you kicked into the dead shit was in there, so you was kicking it with everybody in there and then the teacher ain't really care. The teacher was just like chill out y'all. You know what I.
Speaker 2:And the teacher wasn't a teacher. It was somebody that they hired to babysit kids.
Speaker 1:It was a substitute. Yeah, it was like a teacher's aide, like some shit like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had fun with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that shit was cool. Though. That shit was cool All right, but see, we talk about school, right, and I think that's dope Because I feel like growing up in St Louis that's one way niggas classified you right. If you met somebody somewhere they'd be like what school you go to, or what school you went to, Even as a grown-ass person. They'd be like oh yeah, you such and such, what school you go to? You went to what school? What high school?
Speaker 3:Because they're going to judge you. Oh, okay, okay, they were going to judge you if you went to Central, or if you went to Normandy or you went to Vachon. You know what I'm?
Speaker 2:saying but I went to Pattonville. However, it was a lot of motherfuckers that went to Pattonville.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying like it was adverse yeah cause they was busting, they was busting everybody else out from, out from the city. You know what I'm saying. So I was. I was going to school with everybody. You know what I mean. And plus, shout out to my nigga Layton. He opened up I think it's Layton's Ramen here in Houston, that's what's up. Yeah, I got some bro. It was pretty good. You know what I'm saying. So shout out to him. He went to Pattonville. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:A lot of my homeboys that I kick it with. They wasn't no lame niggas or nothing like that. Like I was in a popular crowd. You know what I'm saying. So it was like I don't know, it was some lame motherfuckers. But you know, like it wasn't like that Most people would be like damn man. You, that most people would be like damn man. You went to Pattonville. All that soft Nah motherfuckers just getting put up on lockers every day and type shit. You know what I'm saying. Like getting their ass whooped. It wasn't like it was like a city school. Well, I ain't gonna say like a city school, because motherfuckers did not get shot up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so coming out to East.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because I know you came out there in like what like your sophomore year.
Speaker 1:My junior year I came out, oh so even older junior year. So you had a little you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:an older age, yeah, to kind of decipher the difference in people from different schools and their mentalities, yeah, so what was? How was it coming out to East?
Speaker 1:It was. I mean, it was definitely different, in a way Like Coming from where. Yeah, so I, you know, I was going to McClure before I came to East, so I went back and forth. I went McClure, east, mcclure. You know what I'm saying. So at McClure it's definitely more diverse, probably like Pattonville is. It's definitely a a good amount of white folks in there, like it ain't a whole lot, it's like 20 or something like that. And then, but you still got like the other people, it's Mexicans and there's Asians in there, some Pacific Islanders and you know I'm saying it's summer, everybody sprinkled in there, but definitely a lot of niggas. You know I'm saying, um, I say going to east was a lot more of where I came from and not where I was.
Speaker 1:East was definitely a little bit more gritty. You had a lot more shit going on. I remember it was niggas selling guns and shit in the bathrooms at East. I was like, oh, that's different. It wasn't different from how I grew up, but it was different from my school experiences, for sure. I was like, oh, okay, cool how I grew up, but it was different from my school experiences. Yeah, for sure, you know what I'm saying. So I was like oh okay, cool, cool, cool Cool. So like I just saw niggas moving a separate type of way, like on what they was doing, so it was. I mean, it was for me, it made it more comfortable to be me in school. That's probably the you was able to adjust. You was able to adjust. You know what I'm saying. I adjusted easy Cause like them was my people, like I met hella people I fucked with. Cause I'm like Alright, that's how I move.
Speaker 3:So so, monte, what about you, though, cause I wanna know this tape you coming from the U-City To the county area? What was your Mindset With that On the type of people you might encounter?
Speaker 2:So it was hard because I had to make a choice. So I grew up in U City and I grew up in pretty much like Big Mama's house, so all my cousins and my aunties, everybody in one house, right. So we fight. You know what I'm saying. That's where we grew up and in this street that we grew up on, like it's, had real gangsters on the street, right, you know I'm saying so. I grew up around that.
Speaker 2:Then we go to the county and my mom's like you can't bring that type of attitude out here, so I can't really. I I knew how to throw my hands and all that, but I couldn't do that out there. So I had to pretty much, I guess, not make friends. But I guess that made me a little distant from people and people wanted to be my friend, which was cool. But when we got into stuff, bro, like I really couldn't throw them hands. Bro, like I you know what I'm saying I was gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bro, because my mama was bro, like you could ask one of my homeboys, bro, I wouldn't. It wasn't like I wouldn't fight, but it's like if I had to yeah, you know what I'm saying outside of school it's different, but if I had to, because I get in more trouble, I would have to for real. Let a nigga hit me in the face for me to fight. Or like say, for instance, me and you, we partners, we go and we fight at school. Your parents like, oh, I understand, we'll put you on punishment for three days. My mama like, boy, y'all had some punishment for three months.
Speaker 3:But why was it so much harder for you, your punishment?
Speaker 1:I don't know because, I broke the rules bruh, but I get what he's saying. I don't know if you remember this, bruh, but when we was going to school, I used to be on punishment all the time. Nigga, I was on punishment for months at a time Like couldn't go outside, Couldn't do this, I just had to sneak outside.
Speaker 2:So you got to try to do everything right, bro, why?
Speaker 3:do you feel it was so excessive with you?
Speaker 1:You think it was? Your mother's I mean, I think she didn't know what to do with me, so she was trying to keep me away from all the outside influences. But I have to ask her.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, and we were raised by females, so for that, they trying to be hard on their sons, they trying to teach us. You know what I'm saying Because I didn't really pay attention to it. My homeboy who got on punishment for three days, he was on punishment from his dad. You know what I'm saying. He was raised by his dad, so his dad put him on punishment for three days.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that probably hit harder for them three days disappointing your dad on some shit Shit.
Speaker 2:Me ain't care, he was like nigga, he was back knocking at my door like what's up, fool?
Speaker 3:So that's what I was getting ready to say then. What do you feel it has done now? What do you think that kind of parenting in that way, in that moment, has done?
Speaker 1:I feel like if you don't provide context for your kid, and whatever your approach to parenting is because I can't say that one thing works over the other, because I think that different things work for different kids. However, I will say that you should always be context, you should always let your kid know what's going on and why it's happening, and that's what provides the lesson that you're trying to teach them. It's not about them being on punishment or how many licks you get them when you whoop them. Whatever your method is, it's what comes around. That. Are you talking to them? Are you letting them know that I don't approve of this for this way? This is my boundary, this is what I expect of you. These are all things that, and then those things have to be repeated. You know, I'm saying and it might have been done to me, I also might have just been a badass kid, like I don't necessarily remember the context of those things.
Speaker 2:However, and that's why I think my shit came in. I was like in your city she knows that I'm finna get into some shit, you know what I'm saying. So it was more like bro, you better stay out of trouble, you know what I'm saying, don't be going up in this place fighting and shit. Bro, you better stay out of trouble. You know I'm saying don't be going up in this place fighting and shit. Yeah, so I think that's where it came from, but I don't know, bro, like I don't know, why the punishment was so severe dog I mean I feel like I feel like it fit the crime.
Speaker 1:I mean, I feel like I ain't gonna say it didn't fit the crime, I just feel like it was void of all the shit that it came with. Like all you gonna do, all I'm doing is staying in the house cleaning up shit I was gonna have to do anyway you know what I'm saying? Like shit that I was expected to do anyway. So it's not really constructive. In a way, you're just removing me from all the things. So what's happening is you're building resentment because I'm being removed from the parties, I'm being removed from going to the movies, I'm being removed from all these things and you feel like it's building my character. But if there's no lessons being taught during that time, then it's not effective. You know what I'm saying. So those things, but those are things I learned as an, as an adult. You know what I mean. I'm not. I didn't flipped it, I didn't went to therapy, I didn't deal deeper to some of those things.
Speaker 2:So but to answer your question, bro, like I to um, how I felt coming from U-City and going to Pattonville. I don't know, thinking back on it, I probably was not afraid, but I was kind of like I don't want to talk to nobody.
Speaker 1:I don't want to do nothing wrong I ain't want to do nothing wrong.
Speaker 2:You know what? I'm saying I ain't want to be on punishment bro.
Speaker 3:You feel like it puts you in a box.
Speaker 2:Kinda, yeah, Kinda, but then I started fucking with people that I was getting in trouble with. So hey, oh so hold on.
Speaker 1:That's always what happened.
Speaker 2:I never hold on because this one thing that I don't know how to even call it, bro, but it was kind of like it brought me back to who I was right. So my best friend out of all of my best friends, bro, this is the number one nigga, bro. So I met this dude in like second grade. You know what I'm saying, I don't know. It's like we just was cool, you know what I'm saying. So I think I went to uh, that was in u city. So I went to patentville and, lo and behold, this nigga taps me on my shoulder and was like what's up bro? I was like, oh shit, what's up bro. So that that uh, like oh shit, what's up bro, so that that that kind of brought my shit back though, like, but that's, I think that's when I started getting into trouble too. You know what I'm saying, because we was doing some shit at school and we met other niggas doing some shit, so we was all doing some dumb ass shit. I had to approach it way different, though.
Speaker 1:That shit. If you think about it, bro, I don't think we trip off of it day to day when we moving through life, but all of those motherfucking memories that you built and we just talking about school, don't even think about going back before that or after that. Technically, what was you doing around your neighborhood? Because sometimes them was different sets of niggas. Your friends at school was niggas who might live 20, 30 minutes away, versus the niggas who live on your motherfucking street. You know what I'm saying? That might be a different set of niggas For me. When I was going to school, they sliced our motherfucking street in half. There was niggas who lived at the top of our street. They went to a different motherfucking school and the niggas that lived at the bottom of the street went to a different motherfucking school.
Speaker 3:I remember that that's stupid as hell.
Speaker 1:But that's what happened, bro, you know what I'm saying. Like niggas, they would divide like county lines or like zones. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yup, I remember when they that shit up. But those types of memories like built you, you know what I mean, yeah, and you think about that shit as a kid. Like for us, I don't know about y'all like for me, I had weird ass motherfucking boundary so I had a uh curfew, but my shit was like 8, 30, so, nigga, even at like 9, 10 years old, nigga, I was riding my bike five miles away from the goddamn crib on some shit, like me too, but when those street lights come on, boy, y'all had better be in the house.
Speaker 1:Nigga was pedaling fast and shit Boy what.
Speaker 2:I'm like they just came. They just came on, motherfucker.
Speaker 1:Motherfucker. Look, it was traffic. I was running across the street, motherfucker. They all for hellers.
Speaker 2:We still trying. They just came on. Yeah, we saying that shit for 15 minutes.
Speaker 1:Are you thinking about it, bro, Nigga? You might as well enjoy yourself. You might as well have enjoyed whatever you had going on. Nah, because the ass woman was the ass woman. Yeah, it was coming, it was gaudily, I wasn't going to get no ass woman.
Speaker 2:It was just like. Even so the disappointment the lecture Punishment whatever you don't want to go through that. You about got time for that shit.
Speaker 1:My mama girl. That's dope, though, like anything from y'all. Childhood you feel like, like you feel like was a turning point that might have turned you from, maybe, a seemingly innocent kid. That was like, boom, now I'm on this path, anything happen for y'all.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was all the shit that I was saying in the hood, bro.
Speaker 1:But anything significant like all right. So let me I'll share with y'all mine. So, growing up, I was always a kid that was technically in like special programs or whatever right. But my parents broke up when I was like second, second, third grade and then, for whatever reason, I couldn't even tell you what the actual switch was, but I became increasingly more of a fuck up Each year after that. So I knew like it wasn't necessarily like something that like broke me down, but it was something like damn nigga, it affected you. Yeah, it affected me in a way. Whatever happened at that point I just was like, yeah, fuck all the the extra shit that they trying to have me do, I'm just finna be on whatever the fuck I want to be on.
Speaker 2:Well, my cousin was like in my eyes because he brought it to my attention as a kid. He was like the leader of the Bloods and shit. So I kind of wanted to be like him. So I was doing little stupid shit and I don't I ain't never say or ever heard somebody say I was doing it for attention, because I don't think that's what I was doing. I just wanted status, I guess.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but kind of what I got, though Certain motherfuckers look at me like yeah, that ain't don't fuck with bro, Like yeah, oh, I can see my was a multitude of things as far as like my shift and changing points, because it brought different sides up, but like me being, I guess, more ruthless and not caring, no more was when I got jumped for the first time. And really when I got jumped, I got jumped literally for no reason, because I got mistaken for somebody else. I ain't going to say their name because I still fuck with them. I still fuck with them, I still fuck with them. But long story short, I had got jumped by three niggas, but that made me more, I guess, ruthless because really I got jumped for no reason, just off of mistaken shit, and then it wasn't the first one, really I got jumped for no reason just off of mistaken shit, and then it wasn't the first one, yeah, but when did they realize, nigga, it wasn't the person that they thought it was, they didn't care.
Speaker 3:I hear that Because that was the thing too, because what happened was earlier that day Long Street Short. They got their ass whooped and I was there. You know what I'm saying. So they probably thought I was with them. You was.
Speaker 1:No, I remember you right there.
Speaker 3:If it was first off. I don't believe in jumping, and when y'all got to ask them it was two on two, so when I got to jump it was three on one. They got another nigga.
Speaker 1:Niggas always sorry when they lose, though, so they get the.
Speaker 3:Like I said, little did they know. They jumped me from my cousin crib Stupid. Yeah, that was dumb Like they came right outside.
Speaker 1:That was dumb.
Speaker 3:Anyway, that was a changing point for me as far as like being more ruthless, because it wasn't no fair ones. Like I said, at that point, I was always uh, uh under impression even though that was uh, uh naive that it should be always a fair one. So that was, that's what brought the ruthless side out of me, like nah, ain't no fair ones. I heard niggas, I heard jump you, regardless if it's just you and it's three, uh, but I'm still not with no jumping shit.
Speaker 2:That shit like you gotta turn your mic, because your mic ain't like ours and you got the actual talking. Just turn it. Just put it out this way, but turn it towards you, yeah you um there you go. That motherfucker sound like champ. Why motherfucker?
Speaker 1:rocky, this nigga here dog.
Speaker 3:Hilarious bro, I love my train thought oh shit, all right, no, that's cool.
Speaker 1:Uh, so what I was thinking about transitioning to was kind of similar. Well, I wanted to hear y'all story. So I can't remember if it was on the last episode, but I remember Monte gave us some story about how he kind of transitioned down here, right. So one I want to talk about his, his transitions once he got here. So, like, what is Houston significant for you in your journey? And then, unique, I definitely want to hear your story on how you landed here in the first place. So I would love to hear, like, wherever you want to start in your journey and then transitioning to Houston.
Speaker 2:For me there wasn't a lot of opportunity in my field, should I say in St Louis, but there's plenty of opportunity here in general. So, um, in St Louis you would have to know somebody, um, that knows somebody to get in a good place of a job, or pretty much. You know what I'm saying. So I didn't know too many people, you know what I'm saying. I wasn't networking and talking to people, you know. So when I got here, it was way more opportunity and I remember saying when I was searching for a job, I was like, man, I just want to make this much, that's all I want to make. And God blessed me with just that, you know. So I was able to get a job making what I wanted to make. So COVID happened. And then, once COVID happened, I found a job that paid me more but also said hey, we don't fire during a pandemic, we hiring people because we're trying to help. Once I got that job, they promoted me to a position where I felt like nobody can take this away from me. After that I moved to another job where I'm at now making way more than I ever thought I would. So, overall growth for me is this a city that, if you try, you're going to get some out of it. And if you got some, you know like, like me, I'm creative.
Speaker 2:So when I got here, I know like me, I'm creative. So when I got here I did a lot of creative shit. I made a studio in my garage and shit. And a dude that I met that was also from St Louis. I was able to go to a show of his and he let me know like bro, you can do shows down here, like that, you can do it in St Louis Louis. But man, when I did a show in St Louis it was nothing like what I saw here in Texas, but like it was people out there bobbing their heads and stuff. Niggas in St Louis ain't even want to want to look you in the eye, they like man, I ain't trying to feel your shit, you know.
Speaker 2:so it kind of felt like way more love. It's also way more love now. You right, because it's way more love down here. You right, because there's way more love down here, because I remember the first, I would say the first month that I was here. I accidentally bumped into this dude and I kind of turned around like damn. He was like oh, I'm sorry, brother, I was like all right, all right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1:It's like it killed every I'm saying.
Speaker 3:It killed every ounce Of anger in you. But he apologized and you can see he meant it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but at St Louis, but no, you're not gonna get there, it's not gonna be like that we finna we finna, we finna throw down Real quick, cause they gonna look at you Like nigga, you hit me. Yeah, even the mug and shit bro. You know, coming from St Louis, bro, it's natural you cut somebody off you looking in their car like man, you cut somebody off here. You look at them like oh damn, they don't even care. They definitely be looking in their car.
Speaker 1:Sometimes that shit pisses me off. I will say, like it's half and half, because niggas down here do be shooting and shit. You know what I'm saying. Niggas be getting killed on the highway and shit. So let's not paint the wrong picture. But you know what I'm saying. I definitely feel like, depending on what side of the city you on here, yeah, definitely, but for the most part, niggas ain't on that. People just drive how they drive. Opportunity. They're going to cut you up. You know what I'm saying. They feel like you're driving too slow. They're going to get up around your ass. That's just how they be. But Unique. I want to know how you get here, bro, because definitely, we see Monte was able to build once he got here, transitioning from job to job. That's what you meant by opportunities, right, bro? You was talking about job opportunities.
Speaker 1:I meant anything, dude, but you feel like artistically there's a lot of opportunities, that's what job is A lot of opportunities. Okay, okay, that makes sense. Unique what you got, what's your transition or what's your journey, I guess.
Speaker 3:Why or how I ended up down here?
Speaker 1:Yeah like how you ended up in Houston? Because we call this our trophy, right, you know?
Speaker 3:because we call this our trophy right. It was all a mistake.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, all right, ladies and gentlemen, insert the phrase, here he goes.
Speaker 2:This was not supposed to happen. Somebody hand me the airhead this wasn't supposed to happen.
Speaker 1:This wasn't my first choice.
Speaker 3:Appreciate you my boy Now speaking, the real it was Now speaking for real, though it wasn't my first choice because I, you, my boy.
Speaker 1:Nah speaking the real it was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nah, speaking for real, though, it wasn't my first choice because I was getting ready to get out the Army and, um, my ex at the time, uh, if it was left up to me, I would've went back to Seattle, because I like the diversity out there. I got tired of seeing us. I got tired of seeing us, honestly.
Speaker 3:You said too many niggas the nigga, you know what I'm saying but a certain type of black person. You get tired of being around that type of environment and that type of people all the time. So when I got out and got into the Army and was able to travel a little bit, it opened up my eyes. And then, when I got out and got into the Army and was able to travel a little bit, you know, opened up my eyes. And then when I got to Seattle, that really opened up my eyes to diversity and also just the climate is very green and lush and the air is different out there for sure, Like you smell the fresh you know what I'm saying fresh air. But she didn't want to be out there because it rained a lot too. I ain't going to lie, yeah, so I ain't.
Speaker 1:I hate the rain bro.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I'm not too mad at people for having that type of preference.
Speaker 2:I hate being wet in my clothes bro.
Speaker 3:That shows you also the mindset that I had too, because I was like I Pick where you wanna go.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:You pick. Yeah, what niggas out here Really doing that and like 23, 24.
Speaker 1:And actually Talking about Taking care of the girl, like, not just like. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Look, I had a kid on the way. You know, I had my son on the way too. Yup and so.
Speaker 1:Definitely an admirable move sir.
Speaker 3:We was in Texas already, so we came out here November 2015 to visit for Thanksgiving Mm-hmm, my auntie, and my sister-in-law was down here too. That's when you decided to move. That's when we decided to move, because you remember what it was, what we came outside of our kid's godparent's house and it was like 1, 2 in the morning, yep, and it was feeling good out like right now, and we was like when we was leaving, yeah, and so we was like because we fully expected it to be cold outside because of the time of year.
Speaker 3:It was Because we you know what I'm saying expecting to where we from, Like man, it's going to be freezing. It was like 70 degrees. We was like we can do this, I like this, I like this. So, ever since then, we moved the next year, November 2016. I've been here ever since that's crazy bro.
Speaker 1:That date is wild to know. Yeah 2016 is how long ago, bro.
Speaker 2:That's so funny because when I came outside, bro, I had a hoodie on. I took that mug off. I called everybody bro, it's still hot, it's November For real.
Speaker 3:It made you fall in love with it. It made you fall in love with it right then and there.
Speaker 1:But that's one thing I feel like is a good selling point. You think about the weather here. Yeah, they get some rain and some hurricanes, but you think about the hurricanes, bro, they're just like bad St Louis thunderstorms. We done had thunderstorms that had broke niggas' trees down, destroyed pools and shit fences and shit so. I feel, like it's the same thing here, it's just you add in the flooding and shit. They don't have basements. For that reason, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's been getting bad with the flooding back home too, though, lately man, it's been getting stupid across the board.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, Shit my cousin, it's snowing in the desert man.
Speaker 1:When I moved down, that's Tornado Alley, and then they got hit with a tornado. We ain't got hit with no damn tornado yet. Certain parts of the city have, but where we choose to live is technically not Houston too. I told him that, though.
Speaker 2:But what about you, bro? Where has Houston brought you my dude?
Speaker 1:I feel like for me, houston was a complete flip. It was funny because somebody was asking me earlier how long I've been here. I was like about four years. They're like oh so, like you know, right around the pandemic I said literally days before they announced that mug, I moved here. You know like it was. It was the craziest situation.
Speaker 1:The reason, right right brought it with me my fault, right, you know what I'm saying um, but I remember because st louis, I knew, I knew it was becoming the end of the road for me. It was like I had a life-changing year in 2018. You know I'm saying cat ended up being homeless. You know, moving around had some homies who definitely looked out for me during that time and and that resulted in me getting my own spot downtown for a minute. But as that year kind of progressed, I had been talking to Unique, who was down here in Houston already. He was like bro, ain't nothing there, ain't nothing there. And he really been talking that.
Speaker 1:Talk for years before that he was like bro, you need to move down here. Bro, look, you got to give a context too.
Speaker 3:Nigga we on the game, we on Call of Duty type shit.
Speaker 2:We on Call of.
Speaker 3:Duty and I'm over here talking to this nigga through the headset Because I'm low-key, venting about some other shit I'm going through too, but I'm on the headset. Man, I'm really also being a little selfish. We're like come down here and see this. Come see this. Yeah, but like I'm also because I'm trying to get my brother down here because of what I'm going through and I know there's going to be somebody I can lean on and me being candid, that was my way of trying to communicate that without saying.
Speaker 1:It's big words like candid.
Speaker 3:So come on, man, don't be getting on my vernacular boy, get on your ass. It's big words like candy. So come on, man, don't be getting on my vernacular boy, get on your ass expeditiously, I mean. But that's what it was. So that was my motivation for King Udari too. So what really was it? Though I think it was that?
Speaker 1:I mean, I think it was opportunities, kind of like what Monte said I was telling somebody. It's really the explanation of Big Fish, little Pond. I knew that in that city I wasn't growing. You know what I'm saying. I kind of had hit some of the heights that I was trying to hit and I didn't really see my life going in the direction that.
Speaker 1:So I feel like I needed to hit the reset button and I thought relocating would definitely be a good opportunity to do so. I guess I was right. You know what I'm saying. So from taking Unique's advice to actually just kind of following my path, once I got here it transitioned into me meeting my wife, me getting a job that has saved me in multiple situations you know what I mean and then it's actually positioned me to be right here right now you know what I'm saying Recording this podcast in a comfortable situation, and I think being able to say all of those things and all the good stuff in between right, getting new cars, getting a dog moving into a crib, right Like all the good stuff that has happened since I moved here has been dope.
Speaker 3:Let me ask you y'all this question real quick. You feel me, so do y'all. What decision have y'all made in your life that you feel has affected you to this day, good or bad?
Speaker 1:Man a lot for me Like just one good one.
Speaker 3:I know it's probably multiple.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, like I think. I think deciding like man, that's hard dog, because I'll be getting in the same situation. I'm going to go though. I'm going to go though.
Speaker 3:I'm going to go, though, because this is where I'm going with it. Had I stayed single, I probably wouldn't have been down here when I got out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So the domino effect, from that would y'all have came? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think I would. I don't think I would have had the idea he didn't come here because, like, coming from where we come from, I feel like we have a. We initially have a small mindset right, unless you have somebody that broadens that for you. Like, coming from that small city, you don't really think about like kind of broadening your perspective, unless it's with sports or something like that. So for me, having a friend like you who had been well traveled, or at least it's trying to be, you know what I'm saying like allow me to kind of step out to different areas and do different things, which led me to going out the country and all this other stuff that's connected to that. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, what's up what you got my? I see you over there cooking. Bruh smashing that candy Bruh bashing that hoe that's affected you To this day, to this day.
Speaker 2:I can't really think about nothing that's really affected me to this day, other than getting Stupid ass credit cards when I was young. But Financial literacy Yep, but Plug it For real, something that, okay, I can say this Doing shit to get locked up in jail. I ain't never did no hard time or nothing like that, but I definitely been in county doing shit to get locked up in jail. I ain't never did no hard time or nothing like that, but I definitely been in county for like 60, 90 days.
Speaker 2:I don't know man, I was just doing shit. You know what I'm saying. I ain't really care about breaking the law and I was just having my way with life. But as far as mentally, always that shit's going to always stay with me, bro. Being confined in a room, not being able to come out when I want to come out you know what I'm saying being fed when I don't want to eat, all of that kind of mentally, bro, like that, that ain't where you want to be. So that that's a like that ain't where you want to be. So, yeah, that's one. That's one. That's one to hit.
Speaker 1:That's a deep one though, bro. Yeah, that's definitely a deep one Because I feel like, all in all, I would have to say also just that grittiness of St Louis, like where we grew up at, kind of that hard energy that we kind of taught to put on, because coming down here it makes you evident like I think unique said it best when we had went back to st louis, back in what, like 21, we had, we had took that trip back to st louis. He's like nigga. You stepped outside the motherfucking smoke shop and then your face changed like your whole demeanor look different up here than they do down here.
Speaker 3:It's here it's a lot more of a relaxed environment Up back home it's a little bit more tense. You know what I'm saying. As soon as I touch feet off the plane, I'm hitting the switch when I get back home.
Speaker 2:But like I said last time, the city has gotten way better dog. Definitely it's not how it used to be. I guess they got new investors and stuff like that. They got new shit in St Louis and they building shit to where it looks nice.
Speaker 3:It's a reverse white flight, huh.
Speaker 2:Huh.
Speaker 3:That's what it is, huh.
Speaker 1:That's what we're going to call the investors.
Speaker 3:Huh, I mean, that's what we gonna call the.
Speaker 1:Avengers. Huh, yes and no Cause. I feel like and it might be black. I feel like everybody Moving around.
Speaker 2:Shit me, it might be Nelly. That's you, man. What Might be Nelly and Jaquan?
Speaker 3:Jenna and Jaquan and Jason.
Speaker 2:Who, mr Tatum? Mr Zero, mr Emos, jenna and Saquon and Jason. Who, mr Tatum?
Speaker 3:Oh, mr Zero, mr Emos.
Speaker 2:You hear me, mr Toppings.
Speaker 3:Hey man shout out. Shout out, mr Tatum.
Speaker 2:Shout out, jason man, shout out on that championship. I hope y'all do it again this year.
Speaker 1:That boy J Tate, yep, yeah, you seen.
Speaker 2:You seen that?
Speaker 1:boy he going stupid, jalen Brown on that championship. I hope y'all do it again this year. That boy J Tate, yep. Yeah, you seen that boy he going stupid.
Speaker 2:Jalen Brown.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm. Boy we went dumb man. Somebody said this LaMelo Ball is better than Jabba Ray.
Speaker 1:Hey look.
Speaker 2:That's a good argument.
Speaker 1:That's a great argument. That's a great argument to make, but I also feel like in what you, in what you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I feel like we have. We have the, but that's the thing. I feel like we don't have the small arguments. It's like it's like talk about the election, niggas, don't talk about the small elections that lead up to the big election. You know what I'm saying. What are? What makes him better? Is it his handles? Is it his scoring ability? What is it? Is it his leadership on the court? Like, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Like he was saying overall, because they kind of like, they kind of similar you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:Josh is more explosive.
Speaker 2:Yep, but. I will say this, but I will say this Before Ja with the gun he had a lot more confidence. You know what I'm saying. He was going in. Now you don't hear too much about Ja, because he ain't doing the same thing.
Speaker 1:He playing back. He got that same dog, though I've been seeing it. He still got that same dog, though I've been seeing it. I get what you're saying. I think he been hurt some shit. I've been seeing it. He still got that Same dog, though I've been seeing it. I get what you're saying.
Speaker 3:I think he been hurt, though he been hurt a little bit too, yeah.
Speaker 2:But Jah, but Jah Like Hungry, jah Like Two years ago, jah man, hell yeah Jah Flat out man, alright, off them teams.
Speaker 3:How y'all feel about Since we on the topic, back home St Louis sports and sporting teams.
Speaker 1:I fuck with it Like. I will say like I feel like the St Louis sports have always gone up and down.
Speaker 3:I was talking about Hold on man. This nigga said something Blasphemy.
Speaker 2:Fuck the Rams he must be talking about.
Speaker 1:The new Rams, the current Rams, yeah nigga, not the St Louis Rams who your.
Speaker 2:I don't have one. You know who used to be my team, the St Louis Rams, but they left, they left.
Speaker 3:You think all the niggas that are from Oakland Are not Vegas Raiders? Huh, you think the people who are from Oakland Are not Vegas Raiders? Fans.
Speaker 1:Like that cause they moved the city.
Speaker 3:I bet you they still Raiders fans, bro Alright.
Speaker 2:I get that.
Speaker 3:You know. But you know what Started from LA anyway, that's cool.
Speaker 2:But they decided to move and they you know what I'm saying. But look the way, the way that the way that they left Was fucked up. How Like the owner, bro, like he was just like we moving.
Speaker 1:Ain't nobody know about that shit.
Speaker 3:You know what was going on during that time.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter. We know about the Vegas motherfucking Raiders for how long We've known about this? They just up and left bro.
Speaker 3:I can't blame them Because, like I said, what was?
Speaker 2:going on at the time I can. What was going on at the?
Speaker 3:time. As a fan, I can. What was going on at the time, that's what I'm saying. What it was unfortunate, that was when all the rising stuff Was going on too. That's when they left.
Speaker 2:That Don't Some niggas was out here destroying and doing all that.
Speaker 3:The economy, they weren't going to get Any money from that. You think, if they're doing all these, and who is your, who is your consumers us and we we gonna be able to consume that product.
Speaker 2:No, we ain't got no money, but you saying that as a a fan that's sitting back and watching it at home? I'm saying that, a fan, as a fan that potentially have season tickets. Did you that year no?
Speaker 3:but I knew somebody that did. I don't hear it. No, I don't. No, alright, then I'm over here. I'm over here Cause my last question Was gonna be how many Rams games Did you go to?
Speaker 2:I went to a lot. They used to give me All type of tickets at work, but I had like A month's worth of tickets.
Speaker 3:Okay, good, I'm glad you were Supporting at least that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was at the game All the time, at least that.
Speaker 3:But I'm still Loyal to the Rams nigga. So until you get a team, you can't say fuck nobody Nigga, you're trash Nigga you're gluey, he riding from the trenches to the podcast.
Speaker 1:He ain't got a team, bro, I don't need a team because my team left.
Speaker 3:At least a lot of the niggas who left from being Rams fans end up being Chiefs fans. Because it's right there, yeah it.
Speaker 2:Because it's right there, yeah it's right there, I just didn't want to ride the bandwagon.
Speaker 3:But I'm saying they did that because it's right there, though they started winning, though I was like I'm just not a bandwagon person. But as far as St Louis has always been a baseball city though, yeah, yeah, Regardless.
Speaker 2:It's Cardinals all day. Cardinals, man and I rock with the blues.
Speaker 3:Fun fact Did y'all know we used to have a basketball team?
Speaker 2:Yes, what was it called St Louis Spirit?
Speaker 3:Yep. In what organization? I don't know.
Speaker 1:It was WNBA, wasn't it? Huh, it was WNBA, wasn't?
Speaker 2:it? I don't know nigga who was? It.
Speaker 3:I think it with the NBA it was like two Indiana teams, a Kentucky team and St Louis Spirits, because we had one player that was dominating but he was doing too much on the outside and they didn't want that energy in the NBA.
Speaker 2:So that's why.
Speaker 3:That's why, st Louis, we be getting fucked over From sports to music All around, and then we wonder why we can't win, because we also crabs in the bucket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like that, niggas don't want to see you win. What's going to change, though?
Speaker 3:Let's talk about that, because we can't be talking about the treasures and not talk about the trophy, right?
Speaker 1:I feel like we've discussed this before, but it's a mindset change. I feel like you can relocate some people. We talked about how relocating has been a benefit to us, but at the same time, you got to think about how niggas had to change it up. You couldn't approach life the same way either. You came down here, you switched up how you, how you did shit a little bit. You still took some of that shit you learned from back home and applied it down here, but for the most part, you still had to approach it with a different mindset. Making it personal, yeah, but I feel like the only way to go back home and and fix that shit is to change individual people's mindsets. Like people in power, I feel like a lot of people are doing good shit, like and we talked about the city is getting better, but what's on saying so, make it personal, though. What can you do? Like for me? Like?
Speaker 2:the goal.
Speaker 1:The goal is to go back and, you know, open up some type of performing arts studio or school where they can do some things Like. I know what the concept and idea is. I don't want to go too deep on it, but it will definitely provide, you know, opportunities for inner city kids to be able to use products that they may not normally have access to use, especially when it comes to the arts. You know what I'm saying. So that's definitely what my goal is, but there's definitely a lot of organizations that I know now that are doing some great things that I definitely want to partner with in the future. You know, I mean, shout out the man up stl organizations, stuff like that. Like, in my opinion, that that's where we start.
Speaker 3:We start with the people who are already doing something, connect with them so but, monte, I'm gonna ask you guys answer that question too, but answer this as well with what you wanted, with what the opportunity or whatever you're trying to do and where you want to go, would you rather do it back home or do it here or somewhere else? Why?
Speaker 2:It all depends on what it is. Well, I would rather start it here, and if it made sense, I would grow it back home, because I ain't starting shit down there for you niggas. Nah, I just bullshit.
Speaker 1:I mean I think you do gotta be careful. People don't value shit all the time. You know what I'm saying. People build shit, people fuck shit up. So it's like but I would rather bring it.
Speaker 2:I would rather have it at a growing city first, you know what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying I say people willing, people down here are willing to support like somebody. I bet you, somebody here that goes and sells their cd at the gas station is gonna get more money than anybody standing on the corner in st louis just because there's more people and they just willing to support. Bro, if somebody like, if somebody really trying to promote their stuff, and they at the gas station they like hey man, listen to my music, $5. And somebody be like man, I really ain't got $5. Well, here you go, man. They probably take it and listen to it. You see what I'm saying. And down here you are probably going to see a celebrity. You know what I'm saying. So, driving around or something, see somebody pull up at the gas station with a Bentley or something like that.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. So you might get lucky. And St Louis, you're prone to get robbed. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:You're at the wrong gas station, I mean, but you might see a celebrity.
Speaker 3:Why you say it like it was a question. You probably get robbed.
Speaker 1:Because it depends on who comes to the gas station. I mean, it do depend.
Speaker 2:Because I'm not saying St Louis bad People in St Louis are bad, just certain people they just do stupid stuff In certain areas.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, but you can't really but you can't really say that Because these niggas is mobile now.
Speaker 1:I mean absolutely Migrate, not for real, bro, but you can't really say that, because these niggas is mobile now I mean absolutely, you know what I'm saying so they can go anywhere. Migrate, right, the county. Migrate, no, for real, bro, the county.
Speaker 3:And they smart enough to get licenses now.
Speaker 1:Niggas move in and out. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:They can door dance their ass around, huh.
Speaker 2:Really, hey, all across, I always say I used to buy my guns from a 13 year old. You see what I'm saying. Nigga had a book bag full of guns. So it's just Certain people, bro, and who they raised by Cause. I don't know if his uncle was like hey man, go sell these guns. Or I don't know if his uncle was like I got a whole bunch of guns, you should have guns. You know what I'm saying. I don't know how he grew up like I got a whole bunch of guns, you should have guns. You know what I'm saying. Like I don't know how he grew up, but I just knew where I could get him from. I mean, you fucked yourself up, didn't you? I fucked.

I do want to know, though, like on some shit, who you feel like is most likely to start a fight at a cookout, and why, out of the three of us, yeah, out of the three of us, who you feel like will be the one to start it don't matter, let's just say it's a cookout, ain't? None of us throw it. None of us threw the cookout. We just all attending the cookout. That'd be me, you feel like you'd be the first nigga To start a fight. And why you feel like that? Why?
