It's time the realistic rise. Conversations go down on Big Facts Friday.
A line from our Heart Studios. Line from Our Heart Studios. It's time for Big Facts Friday. Not just any Big Facts Friday.
It's a super special edition, the.
Most special edition of Big Fax Friday, Big Bank, Baby Jay DJ screams, Shat Jones, Big Homie Kodak, remembering our brother, our family, the one and only Duck Tape Day. Yes, sir, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right. Long Live duct Tape Dave. How's everybody doing? You know this is important. We wanted to do this. This is therapy, you know what I'm saying. We all families, so we come together and we can talk about anything, and we consider like the people that support us and watch us, especially the Big Fact Friday people who consider them like extended family. They're always supporting us, sharing and commenting and just spreading, you know what I'm saying, the Big faxt Friday movement. But you know, I always got to do the wellness check, So this might be a little bit different of a wellness check, but I got to check on my people and say is everybody good?
No? And that's fair.
And in that it's okay not to be good because we're being transparent and we're saying that we're not good. But when you think about and we'll get to a word and everything like that, when you think about all, I think everybody deserves to have like a true friend. You do know what I'm saying. There's a lot of people that go through this journey to say I never had a friend, or my friend backstabb me, or I never had somebody that will be there for me regardless of what goes on, and this, that and the third. So I just want to say to everybody here, you know, as we work through it, it's gonna be something that you'll never understand. It's not gonna ever make sense. But you're blessed to have had a true friend, a true brother. You know what I'm saying to somebody that's still watching over you, doesn't stop, doesn't never stop. A lot of the things we heard that its service, you know what I'm saying. We can internalize that, we can feel it, we can feel that it was it was a spirit talking, you know what I'm saying.
So I don't have a out answers.
You know what I'm saying we all processed differently, but let's just open the floor.
We got some wine to up.
Talk about our brothers. You know what I'm saying, Let's talk about our brother takee Dave.
Okay.
So today's word is grieving versus mourning. So the textbook definition of grieving is to suffer grief, to feel grief for or because of, or to cause great distress.
What's grief, though.
Grief is deep sorrow, especially sorrow that is caused by someone's death.
Okay.
The urban definition of grieving is to feel intense sorrow.
So that's that.
The other word is mourning. The textbook definition of mourning is the expression of deep sorrow for someone who has died, typically involving certain conventions such as wearing black clothes. That doesn't make sense, okay, And then the urban definition of morning is a state of mourning. Mourning is a state in which someone is going through grief or loss and is now solitary and sad. So basically, mourning is like, once you've grieving.
That's not a word, is it. Once you've once you've once you've grieved.
A certain person or a particular event, and then you sit to yourself and mourn like alone.
Right, it's mm hmm. Wow. Yeah, I think I think they are all healthy.
I think that, uh, you know what I'm saying, grief, grief and uh you know, like I said, everybody process is different.
I think it's all healthy.
Like you definitely got to have some time alone, you don't want to have all the time alone. You also got to get around loved ones, you know what I'm saying. And uh, I think that they're all a healthy part of the process. You know what I'm saying.
Man, That Nigga Day album made me tap out, bro, what you mean? I don't know.
I ain't never felt like this, Yeah, yeah, but I can hear that nigga like big you bitching up? Yeah, Ship, I don't know. I don't know if I'm grieving morning in shot what.
I don't know, probably a combination combination of it.
Let me know, dang never gave a fuck about a nigga died till he died.
Mm hmm. And that's real ship, and I thought I did, but.
I would listening to the ship Boo Boosty said one time, like you know that ship, I never did cut resonate with that when he's like once you lose her brother.
Never he'll y'all saying that before.
I couldn't really resonate it with that to this, I tricked myself like I was okay to go to the funeral. I walk up next day, He nigga, ain't call me that ship different bro mm hmm. He caught me here to day being what you're doing, you're on it, you're on ship. What you're doing and shit crazy bro, But you know we ain't gonna make this ship in another funeral, sery. We're gonna celebrate bro mm hmmm. Da would light up the room.
It's so many times, like you know, some people just had that energy like I'll be happy to see every all of y'all, you know what I'm saying. But they've just had a way of some people just have an inexplicable energy that you just cake, you just start talking like what's up.
You come, get the tacos, you go. You know what I'm saying.
This just an energy where and my last one on one encounter with him, I pulled up at the spot and then when he opened the door and I looked at the spot and the closed I was like, oh ship, I'm thinking I'm finelhing. You know, he go somebody spot, get some clothes, some little boxes. Yeah, it's I went and start touching it like, oh ship, you got apparel?
Yeah? You know.
Closing, Man, I don't figuring the ship out. He had it all together. You know what I'm saying. I hope and praying. I know y'all gonna keep that vexafied going. His kids gonna be good, his family, you know what I'm saying, His mama. Mama looked strong at the service.
You know.
That's just my hopes and prayers and I've been praying and you know what I mean, for y'all strength and the family strength and everybody to strength. But we gotta keep it going because that's what that's what he would have wanted.
Facts.
Facts, ain't no other way, ain't no other way. But bruh, I don't know, bro that nigga Dave hell of a.
I wish I pray for everybody in the world to experience a friend.
Like yes, yeah, that's what I was saying. You deserve that. Maybe you deserve it.
Yeah, I just know that at least for me and my experience with Davids, like once I became cool and close with y'all.
Dave made me feel like I'm a part of family.
Like if Dave was around, I automatically felt safe, and he always told me I was safe, you know what I mean, Like Dave had just had one of those spirits that he didn't just check on you. He checked on things that was a part of you, like check on chance, you know, like me coming to the spot, or even if I even called Dave if it could be for the most random shit. Dave was always gonna answer if I need to pull up over there for something, he was always gonna answer the door with a big old smile and a big old hug. Like I just I just know that Dave was a very genuine, genuine, genuine good person, and he lit up every room he walked in with that big old smile and his spirit like he always checked on you, always wanted you to be better than whatever you were the day before, and if you was working on anything, he gonna inquire about.
It and tell you could do it, you could do it, you could do it.
Like I remember one time I was talking about cameras and Dave literally texted me it was like, what's that camera you want?
Send it?
To me, send it to me, and then we ended up getting the camera. Before we got the camera, he was like asking me about it. Then it was a time where he was just like, you need another camera. Just come to the spot and pick up this camera. I ain't even using it. You could do something better with it than I can. So I just know, like Dave was a very very great person, and I know what he meant to you and Jade, And I'm so sorry.
We all not say it was he is because he's still yeah, still here. I'm telling like, I can feel that, nigga, bro, I feel it. That's what made me so emotional. I can feel that nigga telling me, bro, yourip.
I think one thing about Dave and like everybody here like because I just met Banking Jay in like twenty twenty nineteen, and I remember when I'm at yild you know it was we meet certain people. It take it takes time to get acclimated.
I don't remember what. Dave was just a cool nigga. He was.
I just I just remember me and Dave being cool. I don't it was just it just happened. That was just him, yea, yeah, And I could I could hear his voice now in my head. Like the last time I saw him was at the celebrity basketball game.
We did uh.
This even if we do it, even if we do it, like I said, it ain't even about putting it out. It ain't about the all this ship. It can just be a therapy or just speaking. We need to just speak.
We just need to.
I'm saying we could sit here. I got all night from my family. Somebody else gotta go. Whatever you do, it's cool. We ain't got it ain't about putting out an episode. That ship is way.
Right, and you know I want I want to I just I just want to talk. I just want to talk to y'all, cousin. I just I want to say this Saturday. But I think Screen probably the only person know who's the situation I was in, like professionally before I started with y'all. Y'all just made me feel like like family for for real, because I was fucking lost. I was fucking lost, and Dave was a part of that. Dave is a part of that. The type of the type of spirit that's in this room right now is it represents who he who his spirit really is, and it's immortal.
Yeah, it's immortal.
You die twice, you die physically, and when people stop.
Speaking your name, that'll never happened. So Dave is immortal. That Uh, who the fuck came up with it me? I don't know therapy. I just bought me a motherfucking grief counselor nigga.
Gonna do whatever I can do the bound back, because the worst thing I can do is lay down that nigga gonna be Bro, you a bitch.
I know.
I'm like, you bitching up, Big, he ain't never bitched up. Bro, You bitching up, nigga, I'm good. You need to try to get here where I'm at. You know what I'm saying. I'm at peace, my nigga, at peace. That nigga, that nigga, they.
Were stretching out.
They got damn going blind shit, you know, brother down at eighty percent blind.
I'm the only niggat to call that nigga at night. Let that die nigga.
Bullshit, You like I can't see Big. I was like, yes, you can't. Niggas try so I had to dry that nigga.
That last time, Bro, that he drove me from since we were kids. Bro, like that niggas always say, Bro, you be you my polymer.
Bro, you rid of my pots. Bro, you my problem, but you my part. You taught me how to be a man. You talk like nigga. You ain't never sugar coat nigga. You'll tell me. At first, I used to get in my feeling like you're acting like a bitch. I thought you was calling me a bitch. Acting like a bitch and calling you a bitch is two different things. I say that nigga bitch. Another nigga he know he's a bitch. We catch him out. I said, you're acting like a bitch.
He changed it like you can come back from there.
And you know, really that nigga broke it down to me like, Bro, I had to listen to what you say.
He said, I was acting like one. That mean I'm not.
Yeah you know what I'm saying, but yeah, you know what I'm saying that when.
You're acting like one, you on the road there like turn around.
And don't do tell me the same ship like, Bro, you bitch up, you bitching up big And I hear that nigga right, And I'm saying, Bro, finish the motherfucker podcast.
Bro, y'all do this ship you bitching up big yeah, like you nigga, what's happening?
But you tells me, God damn, let some ship go in there, And I turned around, he he he in it. Let that shit go, brother, that ship ain't. Then I wake up in that morning he talking about it. That's a different kind of dude.
Bro.
Any nigga that mistreated that nigga, I wish you nothing but some fuck shit.
Fuck you. That's real shit, cause that niggadn't deserve nothing but love. Bro.
That nigga heart was in the right place. This was a different type of nigga. And niggas gonna say that about their popler, but they was different.
Bro. Any nigga that he touched, and for.
Any nigga that been reaching out to me DM and me texting me, I got it, thank you, I appreciate it, but it's just made me too emotional to talk to people that love him like I do. You know what I'm saying, And I'm sorry for just eating on people texts, but I'm trying to do better.
But I ain't never felt this nobody, Bro, don't know abouty nothing. Bro.
I'm just saying though, but not because people coming in good spirits and checking on nigga. But I just never felt this type of pain. My grandma up passed. That lady was everything to me. But I could accept that. It's like I'm trying to figure out how to accept their death.
Bro. That nigga healthy.
The autops he did, we ain't do no half AUTI We did a full autopsy and wasn't nothing wrong when he was sick.
He wanted no drug even nothing.
This nigga, It's just it's time to go, and I'll just be questioning God that she tested my faith, that she tested everything inside of me. We used to all with clean. I used to tell that nigga, it's something help to me. He makes sure my kid. We never talked about something epidem.
Mm hmm. Shot.
You was talking earlier about like how he supported you, like with the photography and shit. They was the first nigga like to wear some ship that I designed, like that Homie Mania shirt, like he was a nigga when he is a nigga. When when it came to designs like shit is hard vexcafies crazy for.
Him exactly so.
And he was the slang of them fucking hoodies like so for a nigga like that to see what I'm doing and post the ship.
He took a picture in my ship and posted it on his ground. So for a nigga like that, who is an.
Expert and professional at what they're doing, to see me and the ship that I'm trying to do and embrace that, he didn't have to do that.
I think that just shows you the type of person he was.
Everybody that was around him, he was like boosting up like the sad boys, like really amping them up, and you know, like anything anybody was doing, he was all in and supportive to especially if.
He with you No, I'm gonna say shout out to all day potlins that came in from Chicago, Detroit, Carolina niggas he fucked with it that I was just mutual California that I was just mutual with.
We just had this one thing.
Like like I told him, shot this your sister, stream this your brother, KO this year brother, So that's how you're gonna treat it. Niggas that he he fucked with, he'd be like, bank this your brother, Like that's how we induce each other instead of be like this if he say no, men, they had inside jokes on the world. He say, then my partner, that means brother fuck him. So that means but he say this show brother, you mean bro. I fuck with this nigga, so fuck with him, and vice versa. So anytime introduced Shy but not j J and the big girl scream Yike, I'll be like this your brother, Koda, This your brother Scring this your brother.
This is your sister Jones. You know what I'm saying.
And I promise you now one of y'all can't say that Nigga don't treat y'all like a brother or sister.
Top the bottom. And there was vice.
Versas and and t t older God damn ghosts niggas that he fucked with.
He fuck with these niggas. I received this.
I mean I reciprocate the same energy for them niggas because I he got a great genes and character.
I was just thinking that you know what I'm saying, and I do too.
You know what I'm saying that Nigga stood in the paint with me through anything fucking three second three second violation.
Nigga, I'm in the paint with my.
Boy, and that what it is, Like I said earlier, I pray that everybody who deserve it have a friend like they one day, because I know I could never find another duct ever. I got friends that I love, I got niggas that I fuck with, But that nigga was different. That nigga was different. He wanted them, Nigga to do ship. You don't even know you need done. I pull up the Bible. How we're finna do our ship. I got you God, Damn, I.
Got your vega sell but I got you Nigga. I got you some ship with that. Not that you know what I'm saying.
It's a joke, but you know, make sure you eat just ship. You don't even think that a nigga would do Bro, my keys. That nigga took up my kids, That nigga took out my wife, That nigga took care my bitches, took care of everything that I fucked with, Bro.
He fucked with it. Bro.
And I don't have no I don't have no pride when it comes to Hogh. I loved this nigga. Don't have no pride on what it is our secrets and all that ship I have taken him forever. He took all that ship to the grave. You know how you can tell a nigga certain ship when you're vulnerable and never hear it again. They that nigga, you can tell that too. You know how you can tell certain ship to certain niggas and hit it again ship. I told day ship to me and the nigga went through. I never heard it again. That's a different type.
Of lord to dog. And I think just.
From where we sit right now, like like the pastor said Saturday, he's gone in the body, but the spirit is is eternal here. The spirit is omni present. So if you feel like you alone, you're never alone. That spirit of the Davis with you.
No, that's them, that's big facts. That's what I'm saying.
That shit hurt worse knowing that a nigga somewhere still trying to be strong for you and he gone. That shit hurt me, bro, because I can feel this nigga still like bro at funeral.
Bro, It's like that nigga, that nigga just like bruh. Think of this ship.
Bro.
I'm all white.
Bro, I'm flexing on you for I can hear him and him you know what I'm saying. While I'm sitting there looking at the at thebituary and shit, he like, Bro, you did that. I could just feel him trying to make me be strong even though I was at my weakest moment ever in my life. You know what I'm saying, Like I can feel this nigga still, like like it's a picture and somebody posted a picture on the internet, little min that you see.
Somebody posted a pizza on the internet.
Like they they got now watching back back back, But a lot of nigga didn't know they can see.
Ship. Nigga blys, He's be like, bro, you knowing your security, I can't see move out the way in point squeeze o the nigga. Bro, you know what I'm saying, what is she that the picture?
The picture, the picture on the hike explains it all. When you're lifting you up. My god, I'm gonna turn that ship to a motherfucker. I'm gonna turn that ship to a uh C d c DT Man Clayton David tator Man creating different thoughts.
That's the new foundation and that ship in the works right now, man c DT Man. But that nigga, that nigga is the master of pulling me up. Like the only reason why I'm gonna be at peace and still remain humble because I know that's what you want.
They kept me y' off. Y'all niggas asked because I be glitching out. He that's how the nigga do. He'd be like, ship, I be like, Bro, I fina do this? Go ahead? Go ahead? I mean, Bro, I ain't with that. You stupid, But I'm with you.
So if I say go ahead, that means you tripping, not saying he ain't gonna tell me you tripping?
Go ahead, bro, But I'm gonna still be right here with you.
No, I ain't going with you. You don't you know what I'm saying. So that kind of makes me. I get it in a car like I can't go ahead when.
Go in the house. You know what I'm saying.
That nigga different. That nigga different, bro, Like I wouldn't give a damn what you say.
Bro. That nigga that is different. Hold on, let me find it. That pitching. But Joe, you said you had a question, what was it?
Then the question was for you and you and Jay. So first I want to start by saying Dave's service was beautiful, like it was very keen like, like I've never seen anybody rap a church, like to have those big old pictures like raptors on the wall, the ten foot like when I say it was beautiful, like even just walking up to the door, seeing him on the doors, it was emotional because still it doesn't.
Seem real, don't It don't seem real.
It doesn't seem real, Like I've been driving Chance to school and it just don't seem real, you know.
But the service was beautiful.
And my question is about you guys religion EPHI, because I noticed that it seemed like we were having two different religions at one which was like very respectful to me because you had the immediate family walk in and then you guys walked in. But then I seen a portion where some walked in and walked out. So I kind of wanted you guys to kind of explain, like how does EPHI handle people going to the other side?
So basically, go ahead, Yeah, So basically.
The way that this particular situation was handled is because, like you know, we're we're Ephi, but the rest of the day's family was Christian. So it would be selfish to say that, Okay, well we're just gonna do an EFI service because he was Ephi and you know, like fuck the other ship whatever whatever, so but he grew up Christian, right right.
So so.
The traditional Christian service, you know, was playing in addition to the EPI service that we had the night before. But the trap it was like the the EFI service was like the the shit that people have, like the rehearsal dinner before they get married, and then the shit that we did on Saturday with the traditional Christian people was like the big fluffy wedding and all of that stuff. So it was it was you know, they had the pastor who was preaching about you know, Jesus and all of that stuff to the people that were there for that, and it was certain little things that had to be done to send his spirit off the right way based upon what we believe in. So when we came in, you know, we handled that part of it. We did it, and then that was the end of it. And that's when you know, they closed the casket and you know, did everything that they had to do. But it wasn't it wasn't like it was it was two services or anything like that. It was just certain things they had to be done before the finality of everything.
If you get what I'm saying, Yeah, is there a way that you could explain like to send off like what.
It's like basically like like we have we have certain things like deities and Orsius like it's it's a different Oreasia for everything. It's a different it's a Oriesia over sickness, love him, just.
Different Ooresius that they're they're like over they say Jesus.
They say Jesus is one person over all your sins. We got Ephi, you got Ogon and leg Bar Shugo. This has got a lot of different people that's over different things. And this was before Christ. You know what I'm saying. This was before they came up with Christ or whatever or he was born or whatever.
This is the oldest religion known to Man Africa.
So when you've seen us when they prayed and put his pots Ephi in there, that's what he prayed to every five five days. They put that in his spots like bear. When you see us walk backwards, that mean we'll never turn our back on you.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, were walking backwards because that's a sign of respect.
You still you're gonna ride with us? You know what I'm saying.
So I don't expect people to understand it. I don't expect people to join it. I don't spend people to nothing. But that shit changed my brother life. It changed my life. When he went, I went, when I went, Jade went. They was the first person to go say, Nah, this shit for real.
Bro.
You know what I'm saying, All that positive shit you see that we doing. Me and Jade Day started that life. Bro, we gotta get on this shit. And then I told Baba, I said, when that happened today, me knowing that he was what he was, I think this shit fake? How am I partner past? And what he told me was son Tatum because that's what he called Tatum.
Did his job on earth. Try to do yours. He fulfilled his destiny.
He fulfilled his destiny. Try to fulfill yours. You worried about Tatum Tatum in Paradise even though me come from where I come from?
Fuck all that? What's my point?
You know what I'm saying, But it makes sense. He's like, there's no way you can. It's not an untimely death. When people get killed. That's on timely death. When people get car accident. That's untimely. This is a timely death. He passed away after he got through cooking for his ancestors on Thursday Wednesday night for Thursday More.
That's different.
Like that pastor said, even though it all connects and resonates that pastor said, Jesus died at thirty three. He was naming all the people that died in Nipsey died in their thirties. All the good died young. That I was like, I ain't being good.
I'm trying to stay here for a minute.
Cause that nigga day, I'm gonna keep it one hundred bro home and shifted all the way over.
He wasn't playing.
He was not playing, And I feel like that's when it's.
Time for you to go. When you when you when you figure that out.
Yeah, man, when you don't live out your deshary, man, it's like, it's crazy, bro, It's crazy.
That nigga spirit was was like none other. Bro.
Like he could be down or going through something, but in order to lift.
You up, he not gonna go through nothing. If that makes sense.
What I'm saying, like my problem is exempt because I'm here to lift you up.
Yeah. Basically mm hmm.
Selfless Like, yeah, that's the word selfless.
You know what I'm saying. Like, and then this sh is so crazy. Bro.
The last the last event, he came to a perspective with Bank with me. He came in there. He was like, Bro, I want I don't want to hit no no shouts out. I know I don't want to hit no No.
I like her. That sh she be talking and do order talk. I like her.
Uh but and I was gonna put him on do dude shoutside to my dog now. But after that I did the party with Pat. It wasn't nothing. He didn't come. He just for no reason, like Brun's high the height, he didn't come. I feel like he was trying to show me I can't.
Bro.
Go ahead, Bro, you don't need you don't need me here in the flesh.
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, brou And I'm just being real, like my wife can tell you.
Bro.
She came to my spot that Monday. I told her to take my keys and leave.
I'm straight.
I need to be by myself all the way to Wednesday to Jay call. And then she wasn't have found they passed away or whatever. I just it was already owed me I ain't know what wrong me, everybody wrong. I was like, I don't know, bro, just glitching. I'm thinking I just a tripping it with dish. Nigga unaccepted that he ready to go, and I don't even know. I feel like once you know when it's your time, Bro, you know when you finish go that nigga bruh.
The nigga just got a spot.
Man's nigga ain't never got condoles apart, you know what I'm saying, Man and Chanta going through one going through I went and rushed and got me a condole last year because he was bullshing like, Bro, I ain't really I went and got me one. So he was like, shit, I'm thinking you got a one bedroom. He should have got it too, you know what I'm saying. He would't have got him a two bedroom or whatever. This nigga ain't had his condole. Two weeks and Nigga called me like big bruh, I really I do start dreaming. I ain't never dreaming before, m he said, Bro, I never dreamed before the apartment did the one. I'm on the top floor, Bro, I gotta pit this motherfuckers. I'm dreaming.
I ain't take that for what it was. You know what I'm saying. So I don't. I don't know how to, how to, how to how to how to receive that like you start dreaming? What what you was getting to peace?
Mm hmm.
Did was he able to tell you what the dreams were?
No, he was just saying, I don'et start dreaming. I never dreamed. Basically, I was just take taking it like you finally getting rest. Because he was staying in the in the spot, like people coming in and out and ship like they were living in his spot. You know, he doesn't turn that shit into like the party out living with him. Come over there late night, they parted all night.
Cossle me. You aren't living at the fruit like shit you told about.
Wait till the old people leave, be wait I leave put the party they were like you old you said.
You know what I'm saying. But at the end of the day, Bro, I pray.
And I'm gonna keep saying that every real person in the world receive a friend like they.
Bro was to me.
I can't speak for nobody else one thing about it. I ain't gonna I ain't gonna make him out to be Jesus, Like, but that nigga didn't fuck with you.
He didn't fuck with you. If he fucked with you, he fucked with you. You know what I'm saying.
And back to the I thing, like a lot of people ain't gonna understand what it is. You know what I'm saying, a lot of people ain't gonna understand. But them people, everybody that shit that greenhouse changed our life. Man, And shout out of my nigga, dunc Tate day for pushing me towards He listened to the rooting and doe and went over there. He went and got a reading whatever, and the folks told him shit that he couldn't turn back from you, Like big, I'm changing, this is it. I went over that shit changed my life. All the things them folks told me for the first year. You gotta work on your character. You say things out your mouth that you think can roll off other people back, but people take your words for face value. Bank you're not a regular nigga. That helped me with this podcast too. I used to be on the podcast.
Saying anything, just anything come out of my.
Mind, like the niggas smack a nigga. But them people allowed me to know, like, no, bro, you can make them up fucking feel like some wrong ship's right. So that's why I'm more cognitiant some big facts. I'm more cognizant of mice. You know what I'm saying.
I'm being a peckable with my Okay, okay, yes, you get what I'm just being here. So and then like it ain't never.

But I went and found all my picture on mug and black air. My nigga shout at we we he is we nigga shout out, we Wei, Yeah, let me say that, shouted. I'm doing the podcast about dunk Tate day man right now, Man, I just answered the phone for you to give them a nigga shout out, broad shout out, Oh no, we're doing the recording.

He just got out. I saw him at Dave.
Friend, I saw a lot of niggas at Dave from that I ain't talked to in a while and all that ship.
Man.
But like I said, Man, I said this the other day, I don't know what I tell I think I told you. I say this, I mean, I'm really at peace. If I passed away today, I ain't down with no hate in my heart. I don't hate nobody.
You know what I'm saying.
I feel like days he did the same ship he died at peace. So I think I'm finna just going to find a nigga.
I hate ready. I ain't ready to go, man, I know, I know.
My people still need me. Man, But shun his baby mama, Shun Bunning. That's his daughter, his oldest daughter, Candy, crazy Ass, his other baby mama with the twins, his other baby mama with Eathan. Them folks know, Uncle Black gonna be there. I don't give a damn what it is, nigga, I wouldn't give a fuck what it is. Those are my kids now, ye hold.
Me to that, you know.
After the funeral, I I love your brother, Rest in peace. People go, they always start living their life.
That's my life. Yeah, that's my life. That's my life, my life. My wife knew.
My wife grew up over there by what they daddy was from uh Over On valenci Over about the hemp and all that. They daddy was a true king. David Tator was a true king. Them folks had maids and shit back in the day, you know what I'm saying. And just he tragically just went missing one time and then they moved to Edgewood.
That's when I met data. They was like nine or ten eleven years old or whatever.
But they used to always say, I knew your wife for you didty my uncle, my uncle jo her uncle Jojo.
Used to hang with my daddy like nigga. I remember these niggas.
So she took that ship rough hmm, took that ship fucked up like she she got the nigga name cut in her head.
That was.
Take that ship rough man. Like everybody, I don't ain't nobody. We could trade stories all day. Nobody got the bad to say about Dave unless they did him wrong. He matched their energy, you know what I'm saying. And we can see him talk about this ship every day all day.
I don't know for Like I said, the words was morning and grieving, right, yeah, I don't know for morning grieving and shock, disbelief.
Or just glitching. He could be all of that.
But I think above all that is uh, commemorate. Commemoration. We need to use the rest of the time we have on this earth to commemorate the love and the light that they've brought to the world. Fact are the things that in the goodness that we do for society amongst our friends, amongst our families should be a reflection of the light that he put in our lives. Because again, we're not talking about somebody who is gone forever. He's gone in the physical day's spirit is eternal. That we can be upset that he's not here physically, but we can be happy about the memories that we have together and the fact that we know that he's always with us.
It just hurts to not be able to touch and talk to him. Hear that voice again, because we can all hear. Spirits are different, are different.
The soul is here right here in this room, right now, and Ship, I don't want to cut you out call that, but I gotta say this, man, I want to give big flowers, big cakes, man, in case you the you the biggest cheat work.
I knew. So up.
My boy with his mama called say he called me earlier, they like they may be us the phone. I checked his location because I got located here the spot chilling. But then I called him coptain outside that ship ain't never been like that. But I still tried to pray it off, like I ain't that wrong. I callcakes, I said, go down there and do a wellness chick. And she went down there and called me back regular hollering on the foe. That's a strong motherfucker, Jay, you strong dog, because.
I couldn't walk in there. I couldn't even walk in the house. And boy, while he passed away, I couldn't. I couldn't.
I had shouts out to Shakhan. I had to see him way he was looking back at the natural form, looking good man. I couldn't see him in a stress moment because that shit would have lived me.
It probably hurt worse. You know what I'm saying. Shouts out to Hannah decorating the church, shoutside to come.
She did an amazing job on the funeral and ship made the folks let me drive my but hurst I thought that motherfucker nigga.
I was jumping hers out. I had the music go.
You know what I'm then, you guys see the casket shift that I got you brother, But the nigga, that's the definition of nigga.
I'm gonna ride to the end, and nigga that she ain't gonna stop right here. Your kids, my kids eatan bunting between them.
My kids now. But Jay, yeah, I don't know where you get that straight from, queen, but I appreciate you.
Mh you had on a dress to you in the dress Dave had you put on the dress.
Looking like an African queen.
Yeah, it's still working, the growing up and down, like.
The call it shut. She's like.
Like I don't know, like like everything that, everything that that black said about Dave was like it was just like a thousand percent on point because I don't know, they was just like a a different kind of person like he just you know, he knew how to he knew how to give you what you needed, like even when you didn't know, like you know that was what you needed or whatever. So you know, he like, I don't know, man, that was just a that's like a that's like a big ass like hole out of our shit. Cause it's like.
Like, man, Dave was like real shit.
They was like the glue that held everybody together.
Like nah, when I be on some man fuck J, I see J pullup data sitting to the address.
And what big baby tickets. You know she gotta sit inside me. They're gonna be on me. She she ain't coming. He was like, bruh, she coming, Bro, They I didn't know they ain't gonna make ship. She knows.
Yeah, like you know what I'm saying like he just he was just he was just.
He was just a.
He was just like a really special person and a really integral part of our operation because at the end of the day, he he he held the ship down, and he held held all this ship together, like and it's just, you know, it's just gonna be kind of kind of like weird. It's just gonna be kind of like weird without him. And just like even like I was telling somebody just the other day, like because everybody you know, just thinking like, oh, you know, because I found him, like something's gonna be wrong with me and all this shit whatever whatever, Like I'm good cause it's like like I was telling somebody like Okay, yeah, I found him, and like I just I kept seeing him as shit. But when I when I when I see him, it's not like, you know how like when you see something that's like supposed to be like tragic or whatever, it's it's like some nightmare and she like bad type shit like it ain't it ain't nothing bad and it doesn't scare me. It's just like I just see him there and it's like he's just there, like he's just chilling. But I know, you know, I'm saying that he's not gonna be back, you know what I'm saying, But it's just like he just like Dave just really made everything okay, and it was just you know, that shit just gonna be like super.
Weird without him.
But I know, like out of this and out of everything that happened or whatever, he's gonna make sure that like even still like up there, he's gonna make sure that like we get what we need like m and all the shit that we're supposed to do. He's gonna make sure still from up there that like we get it done. And I don't know, like I just like I just really appreciate him, cause that nigga's been with me, like damn near my whole entire adult life. And we used to get into it all the time about all kind of shit, but the nigga never like left me, like he'll get mad at her me out and all kind of like light skin shit, like you know what I'm saying, Like whatever whatever, But at the end of the day, he's still gonna make sure that I'm good, like no matter what. And I don't really have nobody like that, like just being real, like I got a lot of friends that are.
Really amazing friends.
But the shit like even even like with the Taco Tuesday shit, like I know for a fact Dave didn't feel like going to fucking the taco place every Tuesday. But no matter what, like he would call me like like three four o'clock, like big baby, like what we doing? You know what I'm saying, pull in, like come on, let's let's go ahead and get the shit over it. Like I'm like, yeah, like you know what I'm saying. And we go and we have a good time. And even though I know like sometimes that nigga did not feel like being there, that nigga would make that shit the best shit ever and like make that shit like some shit that like I used to look forward to like every week, Like you know what I'm saying, like cause I know that like that's my time with Dave. So I don't know, like everybody, we gonna figure out the Tuesday shit or whatever. And I appreciate everybody to saying you know, they gonna go with me and all that, and it's like it's just like.
