Key Quotes
Here are four quotes extracted from the transcript that represent particularly valuable insights, interesting data points, or strong opinions:
-
"So I um I just spoke to him on a really human level and explained who I am and what my intention was going into that situation and I was simply to protect my family and I and I could have lost my temper and I could have took that over the top. I feel like I dealt with every situation perfectly. There's many a man that would have um pulled out a weapon and it would have been a different story in the news, you know, but I risked I risked having a fair fight and luckily by the skin of my teeth."
-
"Listen, it's it's turning a negative into a positive, right? And in my heart, I believed I was um righteous."
-
"People look at a guy that looks like a tough street guy and oh, he's a rapper and all these sort of stereotypes go with these people look at things in categories, right? because sometimes people are too lazy to understand that everyone's just an individual."
-
"I was shouting my head off. Yeah. Because you know I didn't want to hurt anybody else and it was getting out of hand. You know because boxing allowed me to be able to deal with it clean cut. But if I didn't have boxing then I'd have got into a fight with the first guy thrown onto the floor and maybe beaten up outside my own house, you know. So boxing was able to get me through the situation."
