HHDX: You feel as though the cops discriminate against young blacks?
UM: Hell yeah they do! That shit is a fact. This is a business for them. It’s all a hustle to them, that’s how they make their money. You got C.O.’s, judges, lawyers, that’s how they make they money so they gotta lock us up. They gotta have some money to pick off some targets. It’s just like any other hustle. If you selling crack, you look for crackheads. It’s just that they got a different business and they into the “Lock you up” business so they go “Who we gonna lock up and put in your system to make money?” That’s the Blacks and the Hispanics man.

HHDX: Uncle what’s your whole take on snitching?
UM: I can’t stand it. I feel like if a nigga was in the street doing what he was doing and a nigga snitched on another nigga in the street to bail himself out of jail or make his situation better - I’m really against that shit. I feel like if you can’t kill that motherfucker in six months, or if that nigga can’t die, you need to go get somebody in his family or something. Hit him where it hurts, because a nigga got to know “No Snitchin”, no talking to the police, especially if you living this lifestyle. I think that would even make more niggas not get in the game. Because if you not built for this shit and then you realize you not built, when you get caught the fuck up and then you wanna snitch and somebody in your family gets killed behind that shit, I think that’s gonna make more motherfuckers be like “You know what I ain’t with that gangsta shit I’m going to school man.” This shit ain’t no joke.

HHDX: But don’t you think it’s kind of crazy if somebody did something and go take it out on a family member?
UM: No, I don’t think it’s kind of crazy, because motherfuckers need to stop doing that shit. These niggas is destroying motherfuckers man! And just because somebody got caught up and now you gonna snitch on one of your mans or the next man that’s doing X, Y, and Z taking care of his family. Now his kids is fucked up behind that shit and everybody fucked up behind that shit, all because this motherfucker snitched. I feel like anything goes for a motherfucker that snitches. If you don’t wanna be in that predicament don’t be in the motherfuckin game. Your family is in jeopardy when you're in this game anyway, you might shoot a motherfucker and the motherfucker might be like “Damn I can’t get that nigga back so I’m a go shoot his brother, shoot his cousin” or something like that. If you living this lifestyle your family is in jeopardy anyway.

HHDX: But how would you feel if they were after your family member?
UM: Shit... I’ve been involved in situations like that with my little brothers and all that. I got situations where my grandmother’s door been shot up in my neighborhood before. I knew what I was in, I know what goes on, I been around the shit. My grandmother got six big bullet holes in her motherfuckin door - I know what it’s like.

HHDX: Murda, like I said, I didn’t do none of the stuff, but I know what it’s like to lose friends growing up. Do you feel some type of way that a lot of your boys are not alive?
UM: I got one man that passed away that was with me and my crew. Hell yeah I feel bad that nigga died. That was my motherfuckin heart. It was another one of my homies that passed away he was a little older so R.I.P. to my man Lanell and my man Taheem. Those are my peoples and hell yeah I feel bad, but I can’t do shit about that though. Whatever a nigga did behind them niggas dieing is what a nigga did, but shit that’s the game. Sometimes all you can do is take care of a nigga family when you in the position to.

HHDX: Uncle you doing your thing in the streets and everything how is the music game going for your right now with Jay-Z?
UM: It’s feeling great. Jay put me in a position to take care of my family and to take over this rap shit. I’m feeling good right now I got the “Brooklyn” record out with Jay-Z and Fabolous. That was a real good look for me. I got the “Bullet, Bullet” record on the streets right now killing it. A nigga is feeling good right now. The music is looking good. I got this crazy record that’s about to come next and you know we on our way. A nigga might sell ten, thirty million records man.

HHDX: I know you feel confident with the sales, but you know sales are going down.
UM: You said the sales are down right now?

HHDX: Yeah!
UM: Anything is possible though. What the fuck, why not think big? You think big you get big, you see what I’m saying.

HHDX: I feel you on that.
UM: They feeling me like crazy across seas right now in the U.K., Canada, France and all that. They fuckin with me right now even Japan fuckin with me right now. Fuck that I got the east coast, the west coast, the south is fuckin with me - they fuckin with a nigga right now. Everybody is feeling that “Fuck the Police” shit man, anybody can relate to that. A nigga know what’s real man, real recognizes real. Continued on page 4 »
