Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world, and we are very happy to welcome Ruga back to the podcast. People thought it would never happen, but apparently time heals at least some wounds, so I'm glad that we are having a sit-down today. I'm still a little nervous, though. He's got black gloves on.
Attack of the body snatchers right here. He got like 30 niggas in here. What's going on? We good?
Straight, man. We good? I'm Mr. Kick-Ass. That's what I do. I kick ass, man. All right, word, word. Yeah.
Yeah. So what's going on? Yeah, what's going on? Let's start from where we, I guess, in the last time, you and Adam kind of had like a disagreeance. We good? Everything good between y'all? Y'all get y'all shit off?
I mean, it was never really no real smoke to where I'd be outside of some shit. You know what I'm saying? But I feel like, Adam, you got it. Like, I feel like... Before we go any further, bro, we got to nip that. You know what I'm saying? Because at the end of the day, you a grown-ass man, I'm a grown-ass man.
The way I feel like when I voice my opinion about how I felt, what you did, I felt like you took it as a joke, bro. It was like a slap in the face, bro, for you to... even speak on that, like the way you got the trolling about it after that, instead of being understanding, you know what I'm saying? I'ma keep it real, like it was really, Scratch all that other shit out.
It was really the whiskey shit.

Chapter 2: What issues arose between Adam and Ruga?
When I say the whiskey shit, I'm not literally on here just taking up for whiskey 100%. Like, don't talk about whiskey, nigga. Nah. It was more so that shit happened at my best friend's funeral, bro. That's my best friend. Like, real life shit, bro. Like, when that shit happened, my mama was there, my son was there, my girl was there, his mama, his grandma. Like we couldn't even bury, bro.
We couldn't even go to the burial because of that, you know? And for you to play about a touching situation like that, is crazy, you know what I'm saying? Because you got to just think about it, bro. Have you ever lost a best friend? I've lost close friends.
To gun violence. Not as much.
Close friends, but I'm talking about childhood friend, grammar school, this is my best friend. Yeah, nobody I grew up with. You get what I'm saying? So it's like you can't really say how to feel as far as You know what I'm saying? You really don't know how I feel for real. So you don't know how people are going to react to that shit. You got to understand. And even Wooski.
Like, you don't know what he be dealing with mentally. To even play about him getting shot in the head is something real serious, bro. That shit was life-changing for him.
For sure. I mean, we don't got to like 100% rehash the details of how the whole shit went. But for sure...
Look back at that and I recognized I was playing too much that I should have been more sensitive about the situation because even somebody like me if I'm arguing with whiskey and the DMS or whatever certain things that I just normally would never do that kind of cross the line there where Whoever I'm even with I'm not bringing up your dead homies.
I'm not bringing up your mom I'm not bringing up like, you know, I'm not gonna say anything about your gang or your hood or whatever and for sure

Chapter 3: How does Ruga feel about Adam's trolling?
by quoting those lyrics or whatever to wooski across the line so for sure uh yeah i i've kind of apologized to him privately but i could definitely say that publicly that that was over the line and not the kind of content that i want to be making for sure
Nah, for sure, because as a podcaster, bro, I watch a lot of this shit. So it's like, I feel like a lot of podcasters, y'all don't know that line that you draw. And sometimes everything, all content, not good content. Even though you might make a pretty penny off of it, but all content, not good content, bro. It's just like, let's say, it's just like rap. You know what I'm saying?
I could get on this mother and talk about every rapper and do numbers, but is it worth it? You know what I'm saying? We gotta take accountability as men and adults. You feel me? We gotta be like, all right, we gotta stop this shit. And as a podcaster, I don't some real shit. I don't think you should be beefing with nobody. You know what I'm saying?
Because like you say, the last time when I was here, you say, I'm a podcaster. Why would I do this? And it's like, you got to keep that energy, keep that mindset, bro. You can't let this content world shit get the best of you, bro. Because that shit will eat you alive, bro.
Yeah, I mean, I've honestly been pretty lucky over the years in terms of not really having to deal with serious repercussions of all my trolling and bullshit. But just in general, yeah. I think any beefing or arguing or problems I have with people should stay...
more in the realm of just talking shit and not extending into like, oh, I'm going to make a joke about a headshot or a head injury that you experienced as a result of gun violence. Obviously, that's kind of crossing over into a different territory. Actually, even in recent memory, I can think of a few times where I had to kind of
edit something out or censor myself because i was arguing with somebody and uh took it there said some shit that was a little too serious because you know as podcasters you really like the goal is to stay on good terms with people because if you can't sit down with anybody it's all bad for business and as soon as you start making jokes like that you're kind of getting into the territory of like things that can't be taken back and there's really no reason as a podcaster to delve into that type of shit
for sure get personal bro cause you got some niggas don't take shit slight bro some niggas is crazy bro like some niggas will pull up to this bitch bro this motherfucker ain't too far from the window bro motherfucker will come through this motherfucker boy and this shit for real bro like people is crazy bro you know what I'm saying and
At the end of the day, bro, I just feel like I deserve an apology, bro, for how I was treated here that day.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Ruga's past friendships?
we're gonna be putting belt to ass and shit. Yeah, yeah, I mean he wasn't even saying anything about like any person specifically.
That's what I take from that call.
He wasn't saying anybody's name, he just said, You don't want to put yourselves in these positions. You have no reason to do that. You got a family. You got a nice life. You shouldn't take it that far.
Let me ask you this. How did, I mean, I guess we've seen online, but how did Chicago as a whole take to you and Adam's altercation and y'all almost getting into fighting shit?
Since we asked half of Chicago on this podcast to talk about it. I'm just saying like personally.
I mean, they look at it like. I know Chicago, they wanted me to come over this table and DDT you on this . They wanted me to act crazy. I wanted to. I'm gonna keep it real, Adam. That's how I know I evolved as a real man, bro. The old me, bro, I would've snatched your ass up so motherfucking fast over the table, boy.
but it's like once you told me i'm gonna keep it real once you told me like i don't want to fight you why would i fight you yeah it's like if you say you don't want to fight i'm not finna stress the issue because you told me you don't want to fight that'd be me just trying to bully you or you know what i'm saying at the end of the day and plus i see why you ain't fight I seen the fight.
Never really been my thing.
I started boxing at 42. I've got a cumulative total of two weeks of boxing training. You ain't throw a punch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't get there. You ain't throw a punch?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of street violence in Chicago rap culture?
If a nigga asks, anybody will tell you. The goofiest nigga from the rack will fight your ass, bro, if you ask him to, bro. To be real, it don't be looking like y'all be fighting out there, though. Because there's a lot of niggas popping niggas. That's what I'm saying.
You want the rear niggas to say they fight. They popping, motherfuckers. They popping niggas out there.
I feel like that shit everywhere, though, bro. They popping motherfuckers everywhere.
Y'all overly popping niggas, though.
I mean, you got to understand, folk, this shit kicked off and it's that. Ain't nobody trying to fight no more.
But did you already feel like you were being kind of like more peaceful than you typically would want to be by saying like, okay, you say GDK all the time, but we're just going to be in the studio and I'm just going to not...
make a big deal out of it so then when he reframes it a couple years later in the academics interview yeah then that really pissed you off because you already felt like i didn't i didn't give you as much bullshit as i kind of wanted to over the fact that you say that in every song
He didn't give me the bullshit. You get what I'm saying? At the end of the day, we both men. Like I say, this the thing, if, cause I know for a fact, it's no real smoke. You say you talking about these niggas from, some niggas from New York.

Chapter 6: How do artists navigate relationships in the face of street politics?
I get it. And on top of that, we in this stadium. And like I told you, I'm not f***ing up my opportunity for no f***ing Fabio. I punch you, bam. I know me, bro. I know me. I'm going to take it though. I'm going to take it down all the way there. And you ain't not going to want to fuck with me no more when I'm done. And I just knew that.
Chapter 7: What lessons can be learned from the deaths of prominent figures in the rap scene?
You know what I'm saying? And this is my first opportunity, bro. I just got in the dough. You feel me? I'm going to keep it real. It's been hard for us for years. You know how hard that shit was for the GDs to get in the dough, bro? For real? To finally get in the dough and to fuck it up over a goofy ass nigga? Get your goofy ass on, dude.
And as you can see, I told Aiden Roshan, let's put it together. And what'd he do?
Tuck this shit. Man, watch out, man. Tuck to you.
It's your bitch ass song, dude.
It is kind of crazy that hip hop, you could go through every rapper's song lyrics, and for sure, almost every rapper has lyrics about how they can fight, how they can fuck somebody up, and it is like pulling teeth to get rappers to actually fight. You got to give it to Blueface. You're down, so you got to give it to you. You too, shit.

Chapter 8: How does Kanye West's behavior affect his collaborations with other artists?
Yeah, but I mean, there's just not that many rappers who really want to step into that arena. I can't realize that. They won't. You know why? Because they scared. And your pride matters a lot.
Your image matters a lot in this game. They know if they lose a fight, it's over. Because you done talked all this big shit, and now you really can't back it up. And the world see it. But me, I don't give a fuck. I'm going to fight you whether I win or lose, nigga. It's about the pride you got. It's about the balls you got to even get in that ring and do it. Or even fight. You feel me?
I respect a nigga who get in the ring and get knocked out more than a nigga who don't get in the ring.
Like, I bet Lil Baby really thinks that he could beat Akademiks up, but I bet Lil Baby considers the 2% chance or the 5% chance that he loses to Akademiks to be too big of a risk for him to take that chance.
Akademiks, he a little bigger, you know? You never know. He probably catch Lil Baby with one of them motherfuckers. But nah, I don't know. Lil Baby a street nigga. Street niggas different, though. I tell you that. We fight different. I fight, I bite, all that shit on bro. I'm doing everything. If we in the streets fighting on bro, I'm biting you, I'm kicking you, all that shit, bro.
Bite academics ear off at brand rest would be a moment. That'd be a crazy moment.
So all right, you dropped the fed up song. Mad niggas got caught little strays in it. I ain't gonna say catch strays, you was kind of responding to niggas, right? Yeah, it wasn't even no strays, it was just. Because even Q50 caught a little bar in there, but Q50 also has said some shit about Ducks. So you really standing up for Ducks.
yeah but like with q50 it was never no beef with them you feel me it's like i get it you um what the i never even knew what trans what what what sparked that shit up for him to be on on the internet talking about him and billy was arguing going back and forth and they had songs going back and forth so he just threw duck name in it because billy and duck but why was they going back and forth
uh i can't even remember it'd be so much but i know indiana it was scrooley g and he hopped on the remix for scrooley g then he started arguing with them kids he just started arguing with the and duck names got in it oh you know what's crazy i ain't even catch the billionaire part of it yeah and that's i don't i didn't know that they both was dissing each other but i know for a fact i seen him talking on duck yeah
