“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.” One of the greatest quotes I’ve ever heard. I saved it to my phone the very 1st time I heard it. 💯
@@ToniOhNo you’re the very first person I’ve ever come across who doesn’t get it. In order to call something deep, you’d have to understand it in the first place. All it requires is common sense & it explains exactly how the world became what it is today. It’s a cycle.
"A Man with no shoes on should be able to tell you tie your shoe lace" that hit different bro because a lot of people myself included have had someone try to drop some knowledge on you when your living a certain way but because you don't see what they're trying to tell you at the time you automatically think why should I listen to you
More than that, "A man with no shoes... a lot of people think that because a person has less or they view them as less he can't give any wisdom, and you can learn from anyone
People have this dumb opinion that because you ain’t find success in a certain area that you have nothing to offer them. Like bruh failure is also a great teacher in life.
This is one of them ONES!!!! Men of Respect, not bc they “gun go blam” but bc of the honesty in their past actions when they talk abt it now. Shea’s not glorifying, hell he don’t even wanna talk really. I respect that old school feel to this.
These episodes/talks are necessary and exactly what's needed to help us sculpt ,change for the better, & grow as men...that's what makes these podcasts so great. Much Love & Respect to Math and company...
It's crazy Shea Davis mentioned how he stared taking medication 3 yrs ago and the difference in his weight and how it calmed him down because I was just watching his FlipDaScript interview from like 3 yrs ago and I noticed the difference in his weight and demeanor in this interview, he seems much more laid back and comfortable. Shout out to the homey Shea "Punch" Davis for addressing his issues and admitting them. Thats some grown man shit. A lot of us Black men have PTSD, especially when ww been through the streets and the prison system. Salute! And I was locked up in Greene in 97 and facts, It was wild back then in that spot
Was wondering why he seemed subdued...that is something. Why you can't judge and should always lead with respect...salute to him and folks that caught lesson/message in the journey. Definitely dope to understand.
In all honesty, Math - this is great quality content. It’s not always sports we talk about. I can literally sit down and listen without getting uninterested
I'm from Queens too (Northside he a Southside dude)... I used to sell bud to this chick back in the day (like 06-07)that was fucking with his cousin... all ima say is everything he saying is true and then some... he was known in Queens for busting his gun
Damn this one hit hard, hearing Shea talk about how he recently found out he’s got ADHD and all that shit got me going. Cause I’m all fucked up mentally and after doing some research I think I have ADHD too, but my dad was mad poor and had no money to ever get me checked on. This is a consistent issue with families in poverty.
Just commenting to help the algorithm. What a great convo Math so good at starting up intriguing conversations. Keep those jail & street stories comin Math!!!
This is the best podcast out now!!! So many different perspectives from men of all ages & different walks of life. I see a lot of growth & wisdom in these conversations. I even have my 20 yr old son tuning in……
At minute 1:17:06, the vicious circle: - Hard Times creates Strong Men - Strong Men create Easy times - Easy times creates Weak men - Weak men create Hard times REAL TALK!
No real talk that's just sound good that's all bullshyt. That's these nuggas pride.talking like they changing shyt ..the reason we all.stuck in the same cycle is because of our sins. I hate deep.shyt. Especially when GOD already.told us with it is. We going in circles cause the sins ain't change. This strong man shyt is because having money make nuggas bullshyt sound legit. I'm GOD warrior watch what your saying. We stay watching
@@mrmone6023 this nuggas a.clown he the type who think he's mad smart but it's all.bullsyt. We all.from.thw hood nuggas. Imma say this again for all the clowns ...ours sins are repeated and GOD keep making go.round and round. It's ain't about money understand knowledge or wisdom. Love is still the greatest gift of all times. And that's the gift we missing. ..because of our pride. Man y'all don't know nothing.
Stop saying that the only option in the hood is to sell drugs. Go to school. Become a plumber, carpenter, rapper, writer, dentist, doctor, lawyer…anything we want
Had to go back and watch the queenzflip episode with Shea Davis he always drop knowledge and his past life stories are something else so I know this is about to be another legendary moment. Math you putting together classics
Big up from uk 🇬🇧 I had no idea math had a channel until now (subbed) I swear down I knew Hoffa was gonna say that shay Davis gun goes blam line before he said it 😂😂😂 I remember that ish, smack dvds were big in the Uk in the Early 2000s so I’ve seen em all, my 1st memory of Hoffa is that ledgenary battle (you be lying in ya lines) SMACK👊🏾😂😂😂 big up lit 🔥 show too 💯🇬🇧🔥
Damn, this was good content. I really appreciated listening to everybody’s perspectives and opinions. Had me in here talking to my tv like I was involved in the conversation...lol…And that’s actually something that would be dope. Every so often, invite someone that constantly follows the content down to the location to sit in and possibly be involved in the convo for an episode…💪🏾
Math Hoffa…. Salute forreal King, Man this Podcast is amazing man, peace to the General illa Ghee and Shea Davis, I would love to see Havoc and Infamous Mobb in the shop too, keep working my brother
Appreciate the content on this episode. Its a perfect conversation that has to be had across the industry of music as well as across community outlets. So proud of the adult grown man conversations 👏 held on the podcast 👏 so much needed 🙌. I'm 48 years of age from Newark nj and I ran a community center in Newark and would bring all types of individuals to have conversations with the youth there. These conversations need to held. Thank you for these conversations.

This is why more of us need to support Math before we jump to other ppl for interviews. Deep convo about real issues in the community and how to fix it. Best interviews out here is Math. Hands down
The conversation was dope as usual bro!!! & please don’t take my criticism the wrong way but you should’ve let Punch tell more of his story bro!!! Still salute your progress & definitely keep going!

Yeah it's kid meaning you understand what you doing and the consequences behind it that's.called.be conscience. Son y'all be talking without thinking just because you want to be objective first
@MATHHOFFA .. I need a mentor. Your show, this show has been so inspirational in my life. Thank you. I’m in a more relaxed state 💨 and able to open up on the real (pause, whateva).. I need a mentor and you are someone I have come to respect and appreciate watching your maturity since Dose got a dose (pause 👍🏽) .. but for real.. you have become more than was ever expected of you.. and I want that too!
They made a great point in this conversation that I was having earlier with someone, and that is alot rappers from Chicago are really only popping because of their street reputation and the controversial beef songs that draws people into there music! Because alot of them isn't the greatest artist or even that consistent putting out music but that's why some of them is relevant! They might not even dropped a project but call them self a rapper and is affiliated with a gang and all of sudden they got a heavy following on social media
Sure but that's a hip hop thing because of the mixture between the music industry and criminals, in those neighborhoods in the Chicago the music is there sound track to life, Chicago has always had a problem going back to when the mobsters were going crazy, it's a war zone
This is shea davis make my gun go blam! yo i grew up watching smack dvds i’m from brixton south london and yo shea davis seen him it’s like seeing someone from the past like older figure brings me happiness seeing him well even thoe i’ve never meet the dude
That is the wildest thing...our kids can see our lives documented on the internet really in a way we could never see or know our parents. All the repercussions of that good and bad it is a new paradigm and vantage you have to take as the vestiges of your past life is not just in you and the tongues of the people encountered but a digital transcript of you deeds and misdeeds. Profane to positive your teenage/adult kids can see it. Wild.
Now this is a round table pay attention youngins how you get school dealing wit ya choice of actions by the rules real shit how amongst ya peers of men this the one well respected men 💎
Man big ups grace respect love and peace to the brother Shea Davis man!!! That’s GOD CHILD a testament to why the greens in the concrete … Bless you brother peace within your gates!!! Thanks for sharing your story..watching u speak I’m happy for you!! Keep up & enjoy your peace with your family
