Oh, it's a combination of all that. You know, I'll start with the latter first. It's not a party or celebrated the way that people were digesting it or enjoying it, but it was my reality.

So the shit that you saw and the things that people were entertained by, the music, the culture, the movies that were in and about Compton, it was also about these places around the country as well, but it was centered here. It was crazy, man. You know, I wasn't affiliated with any gangs, but you're affiliated by association. You're affiliated because it's the block that you live in.

I was going to say your neighborhood probably plays a big role in shit. They were like, I don't give a fuck. You live on Holly or you live in Ludus Park. You live in these places that were what they were. I come from a blood territory, a blood hood. And the other hood surrounding areas were crypts. Whether or not I was a part of the gang culture, it didn't matter. Right.

To the other side, that's where you live. Yeah. So that's what you're about. I had to walk through all of that. I went to the high school for the performing arts. Which was at Hollywood High? No, no, no. That's Hollywood High. That's where I graduated. That's where I did my senior year. Oh, okay. Okay. This is the L.A. County. The L.A. County High School for the Performing Arts.

I was part of the inaugural class in 1985. I'm actually going back to do their 40-year reunion this year. Oh, cool. Somebody reached out to me and asked me to be a part of it. I never wanted to be a part of the school. Why? Because they kicked me out for having weed. I get why you did it, but you let the white boys with cocaine stay in the school.

I know I'm getting off our topic and I'll get back to it, but I had an issue with the administration. So for the longest time, people that I knew there were students there, I had friends who had kids there. You should come back and talk to the school. And I was like, no. And then one day I woke up and I was like, but that's doing a disservice to the students. Exactly.

Who did nothing to me and would love for somebody like me to be there and be a part of that. Absolutely. So years ago, I decided, OK, whenever they ask me again, I'm there. So I had to be ready for school by 530 because I had to walk a mile and a half to a bus stop. 5.30 in the 80s, shit's popping. Oh yeah, especially in the hoods where I'm from.
