lessons became the place where my dream that i felt like my dream could be realized and i would like to stay here. i was twenty seven when i came here. i was inside me and my girlfriend we had a we had a place together so i was paying half the rainy she was paying to have to live so we were inside for three years. i met on the street she was using i got off the drugs and gala down to drinking

beer but her liver had already ran its course she needs she didn't want to get on a liver transplant so. she died from cirrhosis of the liver. and write songs is stu's me based on something that i'm experienced or it's something that's happened to me that's when the blues you know when it comes from within i mean gospel. r. and b. booze country. they all have. they all tell stories. when i hear the last thing. that or that court if partner. as far as the streets why do you never know what's going to happen any day of the week just how things go you know there's not just. here is everywhere is like wildfire

in the los angeles can. you just look right across the street a couple of blocks read that was a whole nother game that does not get along with decide over here. and we have your own history right here is how the gangs are broken down and caught then you have. basically three different types of gangs actively going on i you had a crips was most of them don't get along you have the list there start now not to get a loner right here you have because you on the west side of compton and this is track meet clark which is the park i'm standing there right now and a t p c c group are counting room. with us it's never right and that's where i am in ca and my weapon dog man in the cell. is always some type of big me going i want to kind of keep everything out of course it was never like

peace between businesses and the neighbors and the neighborhoods and the schools and the budgets and the whole each department everything was. back to some great and some to study and some obvious the town it. god drop the talent already i mean let it come out polies was kicking my dang it was basically kicking against my cloak and we needed to speak out aggressive. gangsta rap for me you know i'm saying. was a cry for attention like you know this is what's going on over here we don't bring lights it is we don't make make sure that you guys know. well he does that the. whole. second this is part of the steve. i cannot talk to you right now i'm on i'm on camera i would speak to you about ten fifteen minutes a day in the head with that. ok. a

business call. more work. more gigs more excitement. this is how i live from. harlem some place for you where you go to find jazz and blues and r. and b. . blowing you find that you also upon the punk energy.

you can live your life very safely and. or you can be loud. very very. uneven crying of the people who enjoy that same volume.

i'm in a motion. that i feel for the city is constant motion constant velocity everything moves all at once and. sometimes it works sometimes we get in each of those way but there are like over like eight million of us in this city so we get along as best we can sometimes we don't but this is the excitement of the chaos that i live in this is what fuels by music this is what fuels me i like the noise don't ask me why i was born here i like the noise with us j.s.

of all rock n roll or. this is what i have but i. watch. i perform. whatever the work is i've enjoyed performing with the people are sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't this isn't wall street this is rotten.

for her because. the system straightened out. from our friends for three years of public service jobs i think just for who just came out of one of those olds in. the least. least

. a lot of it started with the spirituals because the spirituals during the days of slavery were means of communication for. the slaves to communicate to each other about what was getting ready to happen like steal away steal away steal away to jesus they were getting ready to use the sounds doing the underground railroad to communicate with each other they were singing they were not allowed to read the bibles. and they were fleeing from from the south to the north and

spirituals choir sing them but there they really have a message if you listen to. god .

the minister gets up to preach there should be nothing for him to do but to give the word and as the levites used to prepare the music and with the harps and the flute they prepared the way for for them for the message to. given and church music to me does the same when you don't have hope you know the song this is you know i need the every hour. and it's kind of like a prayer because it just helps you remember all the things that he's brought you through. because especially during times of sadness people are. they don't have money. and sometimes you just need that song and sometimes it's not a docile song though it just may be a song just hearing joy to the world the lord has come and then now and then there's another version of there is joy to the world it is come. the gospel just

takes a different different twist to a song that we all know but it gives people hope i think that gospel music gives you hope it gives you peace and it gives you joy you know the young people they have a different beat you know. but they have a different be and so that then they come out with a new song still the same for. the for. me. to read. it had to happen. had to happen there was it was inevitable we call it thanks right now it was actually story corps reality read perfect example so easy lyrics he said whoa. about knowing just had to be done so i've got to

get drunk before my day begins before my mama start bitching about my friends basic you understand everything i'm saying right here my reality is simple counter born and raised. father. father died when i was a baby my mama was a crack we all have our stories i had to earn more respect in the streets in order to just survive and. it was it was more of a necessity to say what you had to say like. you know i'm saying like the bad you know sam i mean you know these are words that people understand where we come from so when you put that in a song that's what everybody will gravitate. to bring that is the question. has been roundly criticized from virtually every

corner and with a looming deadline the u.k. could face a hard break without an agreement even early elections how to get this point. he has a significant portion of all u.s. commerce something approaching twenty percent i guess their goal is to get fifty percent of all commerce in america it would be amazon commerce and they need artificial intelligence to do that in artificial intelligence needs data to run effectively so jeff bezos but the call out to all the cities and they said we may come to your town just give us all the data on all the people living in your town and we'll jump into our computers and our ai systems and by the way you don't get any. nobody could see coming that. would. in the. search. any interrogation you'll see is. probably. the process.

to put people in that frame of mind make them uncomfortable make them want to get out and take no for an answer. she says. if i were poor or a sad statement there i would be all about that the next day there's a culture or the odd accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all their cry. lot of people don't know what's going on they don't know what it's like for us over

here you don't know what how hard it is just to leave. the african music is coming from the soul. african-americans have struggled from the beginning that's not a gimmick it's like only you know they feel what they feel. my people who struggle with. you know who's coming from the cotton fields i mean so those people had a lot of. what i say. you know a lot of grievances you know not be in. people to do with they want to. and not being free new york does sound like different from texas different from chicago new york has this stuff i try to make mine stand out different from all you

know still have the blues feel but different. turn. so the plan in some ways by. two thousand and thirteen thirteen fourteen francis it was. a five year plan in the south where. every day. monday through saturday i might take our one day play in the south way. every day. so as base near. i knew this was.

everything all the. ranchman just like people working with a man made him feel paid them feel beals meals meals. favorite read. this to keep you there get him say keep from band on that. nonsense can be from a home that's you know. the sofa goes to new york ring which is like no other rain anywhere else in the world. like a movie. like the cleansings the fact is of the rebirth. it was. big and.

the. men. in the will be love. it was. coming some way and some of. it. was out there it was go on our own. all right.

some people on here you know that's. called they feel like this. you saying and doing what you know the do. and they don't mean that i don't care how good you are in the south way it's not about how good she was it's just a lot of people just. so you get you know you will not if you think you're going to be well. number one and number was dollars. dollars. dollars. dollars. dollars.

dollar dollar is what. one dollar i mean more than this might be in the. bill was due end of i guess outside and then. since when has and then. told him aren't. governess. american music is largely african. we got carried over here we care the music with us. the real hard becomes the bulldozer was we don't have a lot of money. here that. good that annoys you the music itself. that's the heartbeat of our student. us. not the politicians not the rich real the heart what we do is the truth.

it's not about money. it's the color of nature not the color of money. you want to really yorker you've got you want a real musician you've got your real human being thirty. thirty

. yes so because the next. night i was with some lady in a trance i wasn't even the claim in her was she was the one traced but you won't gossip girl that's why you got a case just didn't seem to try to play the telephone game always get it bad with african name got to be a serious problem with the rest of the guys from the place you say it is go on point put some thought in such great kick in the snakes face perfect form rest mass you want to work off we got clean towel pete na mona lisa i'm cool box i'm in pain you need to save.

people just got a lot aggression up in here because you know the system is always on these people heads you know that came through to. form a commission into slavery to be squashed inside of an area. life gets you down was a lot of gunshots so i missed it going on people like to put in their artwork and you know the best writer wins you know that's what's go to the competition out here now to see who comes up with the best work as far as music and lyrics a lot of things happen you know to where these guys like to get it off their chest bharati it's all cultures be in. africa. you know people from africa african-americans however you want to call it black you want to call it we always have we're with people and in the arts is to be you know one of the english culture we have to die broaden their view sometime of how we use our wars and how they use their words of the system that we live in now you know this is all word play and old action. likely force you to lift takes full plus when you see this punch he has

to throw boston at long last that result and oh gosh that's just so they got after the number in the series and then he got beat so if i need to get crow in a box that's that good but that's the sequence. don't put the bigotry on the city slicker after putting it at their own end up listen they come from but then don't jump the gun trying to avoid the shots very well make a difference you get a rap sheet on a conference office you know weekly and this. wrapping will be over after. dark the bars are you there bill by what you seen around there's nothing about not. taking seems to be negative plenty for you this morning . and they're going to just be yo yo yo former real is that you know.

control that we all get it back one day we all that we know will control that. one control this guard. controller and they. are.

what politicians do you can. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to. have to life to be close this is what before three of them or ten people that i'm interested in always in the waters of my house. there should be. tracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like

gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore just slow down so much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal. with it a place called camp sundown camp for people that can't. and they're like so vampire camp this is like a safe house i guess they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand our daughter katie was first diagnosed with a very rare some sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does or she'll patients when they have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside there the still gets flicker in the brain still small . the pain is indescribable it's feels like

a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles all is down to the bone. there is no relief. we're not sure this is just. our headline stories this hour are still friends no matter want donald trump vamos to maintain america's strategic partnership with saudi arabia but admits the saudi crown prince may have no plans to kill discipline.
