Christian The Grandson

0:00Hey, now it's your brother brother Marcus. That's right. I am in the studio with one of my grandsons. His name is Christian. What's up, man? What's up? What's up? What's up, America? We here, y'all. We here, y'all. And so now you live where? I live in DC. Yeah, you like it out there in DC? It's a lot of violence. A lot of violence, but you could change that with the positive energy that you got going all right. Yeah, how old are you? I'm 13 years old. Yeah, nobody's 13 years old. He's almost deep in my mind. Come on, man. Really? Yep. Oh, man. So you go to school, obviously? Mm-hmm. And what school do you go to? I go to Howard University Middle. Whoa, really? Yeah. Real talk, true story? Yep. Wow. And that's what we're great at, you in again? I'm an eighth. You're an eighth grade? Yes, sir. Man, how are your grades? They're good. I got... I got... I got an honor roll. I got an honor roll. This past six, seven, eight that I've been going to that school. Wow. Now that's what's up, man. You know, you know, I know that I knew you were smart when you were little.

1:02You know what I mean? You just like the what? Cut up, right? And I was very energetic. That's the thing. And people need to know how to utilize your energy. Yeah. You put it in the right way. You know what I'm saying? Now you also do something that I really dig. Your grandfather used to do this. And I'm surprised that you do it too. And what is that? Make beats. Make beats. Okay. And how long have you been making beats? I've been making beats since I was like maybe like 12, 11. So I've been on band love trying to create beats on sound, click, band love. Different. I've been just trying different beats and stuff like that in different websites. Yeah. Did you get that gift I gave you? Yes. Yeah. You like that, John? Yep. You helped me make beats. Yeah. A little bit better. Okay. You also do something else. You like to. You cut hair. You cut hair. And that's another thing that you've been learning over the summer. That's what I'm talking about. I went to a barb and school and this December, I'm supposed to be going to another one that pays me to cut people hair.

2:02Stop playing. Corral? Yes. You going to give your grandfather some of that money? Yep. As I've talked about, man, so you... Now I asked you this earlier and but I'm going to ask you it again because I want everybody to hear how you do, you know. Do you take your clippers everywhere? Usually I keep them in a house for safety reasons just so like because I got a golden case and it's like it's really big and when I take it everywhere, I could probably potentially break it, crack it. Yeah. And I just want to keep it safe for when I get a little bit more experience at cutting. And I got these sponsor barb, wall clipper barb, clippers and I can start cutting. I actually will be where people... That's it. Like I could become a barber, I could have my own booth and all that. Now that's what I'm talking about, man. I'm proud of you. Thanks. I'm really, really like super proud of you. And that's what it's all about having a skill and a gift and an ability. You go to school, you get straight A's, you have a barber, you make beats like your grandfather.

3:04Who do you think is the better beat maker me or you? Right now, I think I could keep it with you. We're going to have to figure that one out because some beats going and all that good stuff. But that's what I like about you, man. And you have the little brother that you get you and your mama. You came up to hang out with me today. Yeah. Little brother, he's a piece of work. He's just like me, very energetic. Yeah. Now you see it, but we were going through when you were that little. Yeah, he's so dramatic, delusional. He's very, he's very talented in his imagination. Yeah, yeah, that's what's up, man. And I know you love your mom too. That's why you look out for your brother. And you look out for her too. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's why like sometimes I tend to get like a little confused. Like why should be working so much because like I know working three jobs is a lot because some people think I'm a good guy. Because some people think working one job is a lot. So I know working three jobs is definitely a lot.

4:04Oh yeah, because I mean you take trips, you travel, you go to Florida, you've been doing things traveling, you've been a, you know, what concerts have you been to? I've been to Charlotte, I've been to New York, I've been to California, I've been to Texas. Everywhere at ACE is 13. But you also been to a lot of concerts. Yeah, oh, I've been a raw wave concert busman. B-Lo concert, a 2C concert, tell us with concert, I've been to all of them type concerts. I know them tickets is expensive. Yeah, I've been to 42 Doug concerts, NBA Youngboy concert. I've been to a lot of concerts. I met a lot of people. I took pictures with this basketball player. I think he still play. But I forgot his name. I think he's like John, John Wall. Okay. And I took a picture with him inside my hoodie. And I still got dirty. That's what I'm talking about man. So at least you, you know, you're out here enjoying yourself, you know what I mean?

5:05So as a grandfather I'm gonna tell you, you know, you're at the age where you meet a lot of people. Yup. You're celebrity now. But be careful out there and you know, watch me, your friends are who you call brothers, who you call friends. Yeah. Because you know, we live in a very interesting world. And you can't trust a lot of people. That part right there, you know what I'm saying? Give it a shot. I said anybody man before we rock out. If you don't want to shut out, I want to shut out all America, all the safest places for being positive. I want to shut out all the people that believe in God and everything. Oh man, that's what I'm talking about. That's my grandson America. All right, we got to get out of here. But I wanted to let y'all get a little familiar with Christian. We call him Chris John. You know what I'm saying? All right, we'll be right back. Everybody don't touch that down. More inspirational information and news coming up on the elements of inspiration show.
