 Exile Interview from YPA Website:
There
is so much talk about YPA and And1. Some speculate
that and1 doesn't want other streetball companies
rising so they try to hate. There are others that
say YPA is riding on And1's coat tails to blow up.
Both fans are all riled up and angry at each other
and opposing sides. How this beef between and1 and
YPA got started no one really knows, but the fact
is the real victim is Exile. throughout this whole
fued he hasn't said a word.
we asked him to do an interview last week and he
chose to wait because of the possibility of them
no showing him a positive light on the espn show.
there was some scenes that showed tampering, other
footage showed what roberto "exile" yong was capable
of. he finally agreed to tell his side. he has no
reason to lie and you can judge for yourself, talk
about ypa, and1 or whatever you were gonna do in
the first place but true fans need to know the truth.
YPA: Wat up Ex. some
say all this sh*t started over the internet between
you and and1. they said you talked bad about and1 on the internet, dogged them in slam magazine and
put there business on the street in the newspapers.
What is your position on that?
Exile: like I said
on the show, before this all started I loved And1.
I said so on our ypa players ball 2k3 dvd. i would
never disrespect them. I was trying to get on the
tour to make streetball my job, why would i risk
that. I don't even own a computer or go on the internet.
I spend that time practicin. I don't even go on
our own ypa message board so why would i go on theirs?
I didn't say sh*t about how much they make, cuz
I don't know. They did that to make ypa look bad
and me look bad and to sell tickets. escalade admitted
that there was no slam magazine article, it was
springs or somebody. so if they were totally wrong
about that, what makes you think they were right
about the rest?
YPA: When you watched
the show about the meeting they had about you and
how they were gonna try to play you how did you
feel?
Exile: Well, I tried
to prepare myself for it cuz i knew after it all
went down that it was a setup, but at the same time
I didn't know they were gonna try to make me look
that bad. I was hella mad. that's not what streetball is all about. it's about the crowd and the fans
and making them jump on their feet. it ain't about
all this bullsh*t. they tried to play me, but they
played themselves. i seen too much and heard too
much.
YPA: Lets start in
Sacramento. What happend in sac?
Exile: we'll court
calls me hella mad because he's listening the 103.5
radio station and escalade is talking hella sh*t
on the radio about me and my crew (YPA). tellin
me to come out because sik wit it is gonna drop
40 on me all that type of sh*t. And how i disrespected
them. I didn't know nothing about this. I get there
and escalade confronts me about it. I told him straight
up what happened. But i didn't know this sh*t was
all planned out. I got a call from the professor telling me they were trying to hate on me.
I get in the open run and do my thing. When i get
in the big game coach Mike tells me "don't play
streetball, leave that up to them." He said "If
you play streetball, I'm a bench you." But fred
told me to do some moves anyway, and as soon as
I did, he sat me on the bench for a hella long time.
What kinda streetball company tell you don't play
streetball. but they knew i would get the crowd
hype if i did. So i really didn't get to do my thing.
Then they picked that dude jrock over me. I wasn't
hatin, I was ready to go home, then they made the
mistake of inviting me back on the tour. if jrock
was better than me, why did they send him home first
and i stayed on the tour 2 more cities? and from
what main event said, they only invited me to show
me that it's real!? they thought they could play
me, but i played them.
YPA: What happend in
San Diego?
Exile: the san diego
open run they tried to diss me but they couldn't
clown me. It was people at the san diego run calling
me exile and screaming YPA and saying stuff like "kill And1 show them how YPA get down on the west
side!". When we went in it was a wrap. And1 couldn't
touch me. Everybody in that game know that i shut
it down. i heard people went home and put on the
message boards YPA took over in San diego. But they
thought i was sorry. They made the mistake of giving
me playing time. They thought they were gonna kill
me on the court and send me home in front of my
girl and court to show everybody YPA ain't sh*t.
their plan didn't work cuz i'm a baller and can't
none of them from their squad see me one on one,
i put that on everything i love.
YPA: What happend in
the las vegas game?
Exile: Listen to this
and listen closely. People used to ask me if and1 was staged. I told them no. that is because i didn't
know. And1 is so staged i couldn't believe my eyes
when I seen it. the sh*t shocked me so much i can't
believe they called themselves streetballers. everybody
knows who the pharmacist is. He was one of the guys
who locked up hot sauce. He locked up hot sauce so much tha some of the players got mad and told
him that if he guards sauce again he (pharmacist)
is going to sit the bench. So he locked him up again
and the players were acting like little bi***es
crying to the coach telling them to bench pharmacist.
how staged is that? Nobody from And1 broke me, but
i was breaking them all the time. them nigga went
commercial, it's not even funny man. They became
too hollywood and now they are playing organized
ball. the big games are boring! If i wan't to see
an organized game I'll buy an NBA ticket or go to
a high school game.
YPA: so when did you
end up coming home?
Exile: well, when we
made it to salt lake city, they had already voted
me off in the hotel. someone from And1 told me that.
I wont get them in trouble by saying their name.
so when i played the big game it didn't matter.
they'll probably show some mistakes or something
like I didn't murder the game. It's all politics.
there is so many other stories, but I'll let 757 tell it because they happened to him. but them niggas
aint streetballers anymore. YPA is the real. if
weren't growing so fast why did they mention our
name on their show? because they are scared. we
got real ballers. they went too commercial! we just
getting started. Game over. |
