My kids not going to be artists, they not going to do none of that shit. I told him work, early. And he found no problem with it because at 16 and 17 I had to cars. I could lend them money. How does white America, 40 and under, actually feel about the Black Man?

Your black friend who you may know, you may smoke with, you may be in a band with, you may go to lunch with at work. If you shoot someone, ever, at all, you should be relieved of your duty, they give you some years of pay.

Or get paid leave for 30 days and then put you back in a squad car to patrol the same area of the loved one that you just killed, and you drive past everyday? That is so wrong. They will never be friends of the public, White or Black. I can guarantee you if they did that in Lincoln Park, it would be marches downtown and would lead to something a lot more dramatic and it would be a lot more serious because a lot of those people are tax paying citizens, I guess.

I think it could actually work. They money would have to be subsidized to the police and vice-versa, they have to practice customer service. A cop can get out a police car, walk in your front yard, and drag your mother, drag her down the stairs in front of her four grown ass sons and the instant they attack the officer for obviously abusing their mother, other officers show up, they beat the shit out of them, put all the charges on them, even shoot them.

The next day drive past the same house smirking. They are street gods. They are untouchable. They operate as a gang.

They also do nasty shit. They laugh or talk about it for the next week or something. They not making no money from it. Those are niggas. And the music is cool until they do something to you. We love that music, but we hate when they rob our house or we hate when they shoot at us, you know? And niggas can be reformed now. When you see these guys and they get out of jail and they did 20, 30 years, the last thing they want to do is be around a nigga.

They reformed! They want a job, they want a wife, they want to pay bills, they want to come home in they AC, drink a beer and watch TV—those are Black folks! A lot of them end up as victims on TV. They gonna whip themselves out way before the police do. But Black folks are tired of it, especially in Chicago. Because me personally, trying to find a neighborhood where I still feel part of the Black culture but not getting my shit robbed or being shot at is a struggle.

If I try to go to Lincoln Park, or Wicker Park, they look at me like the nigga in the neighborhood [laughs]. There are people who call the police on drug dealers. And then I think a lot of the shooting, a lot of the nonsense, because very rarely is somebody shot in retaliation for something.

They watching too much City of God shit. By Evan Gabriel September 12, How have you been in that time? Trying different avenues of getting money…all types of shit.

Tree: Yeah, and a lot of those years I was rapping I would consider my struggle years. The years where I was most famous, the most recognizable. When I was on convers, I was the brokest. Those were hopeful thinking years. I was getting all the claim and fame that [other] people are paying for. Reality was setting in, I was getting older.

How come you went so long without making beats? Tree: The reality is this. I found other ways to make money. And it let me live a lifestyle that I enjoyed more than music. It let me live like a superstar. It let me bump shoulder with people who got money. Who sign rappers. And you know that kind of overshadowed me for the last year. Tree: Yeah, I like nice things. I like meeting new girls. I was just too busy for music. I was busy at the casino. Did your brothers play a big guiding role in your upbringing or did they kind of let you figure it out on your own?

So that was the kind of family I came from. So as far as the whole gang shit, you had to be of age and be a grown man to make that decision. So without the visibility of your family, you could really do whatever you wanted? Tree: Yeah, I was getting real at 11, And so all from my mom switching address because of something between her and my father, I ended up in a whole other Mickey [Cobras] zone. When people are around I entertain. Do you prefer to make music at night or in the daytime?

Tree: I usually find time at night. What were some of the first soul songs that you remember hearing as a child? Outside of Chicago, what is your favorite city to perform in? Tree: Paris is lit. Yeah, Paris is definitely lit Joe. How many times have you performed there? Tree: Once [laughs] but it was so memorable. The girls were so beautiful and the drugs were ambulant! It was a good week. I remember discovering Tinder in Amsterdam.

And yo, it worked [laughs]. I rarely use it nowadays but back then it helped us get through Europe. Being that you grew up in Cabrini-Green, did it affect you when they tore the buildings down in ? Tree: Nah because I understood that a project was a project; it was a testing ground.

I had a father that was very politically aware and we had to know what was going on in the world. It was a revolving door of gang activity and drugs. No one wanted to go to school in the projects, or go to college or get a job. People were achieving that from the projects. Tree: And they threw them all out into Englewood and say Englewood needs help. My father told me years ago that they got a blueprint, a game plan for the city that they initiated back when the first mayor was in office, and it had no black folks in the city.

That was the scheme. Do you still go to church? I have not. What are the biggest challenges you run into with that? Getting people to relate to the music you make in your own room? I mean, what makes me a legend at this point?

Because I actually signed that deal with Epic Records? How many times did I put out a bad record? Would you ever move, back to Atlanta, or to the coasts? Tree: Hell nah. Hell nah. I would consider moving to California, I would. But then again I got kids in Chicago.

Can you imagine leaving your two black males in Chicago? All that, you need to be taught. Certain things need to be taught by a black male, how to handle these things. I lived in Cabrini-Green, which is a mile from the water tower on Michigan Avenue. And always got along with white people. Shot my cousin? Same motherfuckers that are shooting into a crowd with babies in them.

Tree: There is no police. They have to be involved in the community, they have to give backpacks away and school supplies, they have to do routine checks, they have to get out of their cars, walk down the fucking street and talk to the young men, instead of them just riding past, and then running from you.

Nothing for free is a great song; worth to be on the regular Egypt Station. Just as good to be a next single.

A brother-song of 'Fuh you'. I hope for more Macca Tedder corporations. It's refreshing. Paul - I haven't listened to it yet! The only way seems to buy this deluxe CD edition, from some retailers! Ringo Hendrix 3 years ago.
