I saw him doing some gun shit. Yeah, you going to do gun shit in Livingston? The reason why I don't want to put guns on there because the Christmas list dude, he got charged by the country for sedition. So if you show any guns in videos, you get in trouble. I'm not even trying to participate in that. I'm trying to show another side of the community, a positive side.

346.058 - 363.29 Unknown

So they showed me a lot of love over there. Shout out to St. Paul. Shout out to Johnny Bravo. Why you don't come over here and be positive? What do you mean? Why you don't give a what to the community over here? You cursed Isha out. You cursed me out. You told Mark he's sleeping. NYU. NYU colleges. Like, why you can't bring some of that good, positive energy?

0

3341.602 - 3364.998 Unknown

Nigga, everybody that had one parent on drugs and lived in a building and had a cat, that cat fell out the window before. I believe you. And lived to tell about it. My cat fell from the ninth floor, nigga, in 1809 projects. And lived.

3449.838 - 3468.04 Unknown

And salute to the mayor who's doing everything he can to keep the city going, to build and grow the city, to protect the city, and hopefully to renew the stadium contract because I think it's so important and vital to the city of Memphis. Since we bring in off-the-record stuff, did anybody hit you about Mark's comments?
