Why Today's Youth Won't Listen to Advice

I think a lot of the young guys who I see who kind of had that mentality of like, oh, we want to blame everybody else, a lot of them didn't have that mentor, like those older folks above them, be like, hey, listen, if you gonna be out here down bad, cool, but recognize that you gotta look at yourself in the mirror and be like, this is the type of person I am. So what comes to me as a result of me acting like this, that's just what it is.

And you know what it is, Dre, too, like, point what you said, and I'll move on from there. A point that you said. It's not a lot of time— I don't think that these younger cats— it's not that they don't have OGs, uh, trying to say something to them, because, you know, I'm an old— I consider myself an OG, an older person that still talk, trying to talk to the young men. The thing that's different between them and what was different between us coming up is these little young cats, they don't want to listen to nobody. They don't want to listen. They know everything, you know what I'm saying? Like I tell you that it's a ditch right there, bro, at the end of that road, because I've been on that road every day of my life, you know what I'm saying? I know for a fact that there's a ditch right there. And so when you get to the end of that corner, watch yourself, man, because you'll fall in that ditch if you ain't careful. And they'll be walking right behind you like, oh man, you don't know what you talking about, and fall right in that ditch. I told you that it was a ditch right there, bro. But they gotta learn for themselves, you know what I'm saying? Because they just missing the reasoning, you know. For some reason that's how it is now though.

But some of that is also them growing up in this internet era, because like, I, I can't sit here and pretend like I was the most like obedient young dude either. Like the OGs would tell me, hey, but man, I'm like, I'm about to go do that, you feel me? And I sit there, bump my head like, oh, that was stupid, the OGs told me not to whoop-de-whoop. Or I sit there and watch other people, OG told him not to do that, he wouldn't do it, and now he got hit with the bam. But these young guys, they grow up with the internet, so you know what I'm saying? They Googling everything. They think, you know what I'm saying, the internet got all the answers. So by the time you come to them and spit something real to them, they like, I already know, ChatGPT already told me everything I need to know. And then they still go out there and look dumb. It's like, see, if you would have— it's certain things they can't teach you on the internet, man.

Certain things you're gonna have to have life experiences with, you know what I'm saying? And don't get me wrong,
