It’s called spring creek lodge I got sent there in 2003 they snatched me out my bed in the middle of the night.. it was like a juvenile placement for at risk kids.. but the staff was abusing and molesting kids so they shut it down.. shit was crazy
Smh damn i be hearing about a lot of these behavior camps for kids molesting and abusing all the kids. Smfh. The kids come out WAYY worse than they were going in
Sometimes when the guest is talking clearly and telling a story, just stop talking. Your questions are being answered and if you stop talking, you can hear it.
My pops always told me,,, if u listen more than u talk. U will learn something..so I learnt if u just be patient and listen to a person..they will tell u whatever u want. ART OF WAR
Agreed, he was / could be in front of the camera still but choose to be in the cut like Neosporin, that's where I'm at with it except I make my own beats and write and record my own reference tracks for other arti$t! Still looking for ALL TALENT #Philly
I feel his pain. I was young & reckless. Dropped out of school at 13/ 7th grade, & was basically running the streets unhinged, & my poor mother couldn’t do anything about it. One day these two ladies came to my crib, woke me out my sleep & told me they were there to pick me up. I told them “smd” & went back to sleep. When I was awaken again they had came back with the police & some guy. I was forced to leave with them & while on my way to the group-home I hopped out the car when they stopped at a red light. I stood out all night & when I finally came home my mom basically rocked me to sleep saying she wasn’t going to let them take me. Two hours later I was back in that car with a police escort. Once I arrived to the group-home called “Pleasantville” I was not happy. I felt betrayed, let down, sold out. My mom signed away her rights to the state & basically made me their problem. Shit was alright, I got along with everyone but I had problems with the psychiatrist & he shipped me out to worse place called “Stony Lodge”. Again, shit was smooth, everyone was cool, but I just couldn’t get along with the doctors & shit like that. Lucky for me, I still had my pops in my life. & being that he didn’t sign anything he was going to court to fight for my freedom from these places. I was set to stay there till 18. & my father did everything possible to get me out. Finally, 6 months in they released me since he still had his parental rights. I love my mom. & when she passed away 5 years ago while I was incarcerated it was probably the toughest situation I had to go through mentally, physically & emotionally, & though I understand the position she was in, it took me years to forgive her for that betrayal. I don’t even think she understood what that did to me mentally, & it was hard to trust her again. Like I said, I completely understand. I was out of control, & maybe, I would’ve ended up worse had she not put the brakes on me at the time. But me personally, I would never do that to my kid. Even though shit was cool for the most part, a lot of fucked up shit happens in these places. A lot of abuse, a lot of power trips & provocations to justify what they do to you. Kids who got out of line would get stomped out, & if they couldn’t get extremely physical with you then they would drug you out. I got into a fight with a staff member & was put in a closet like padded room with a slot for the food for like 2 weeks. Shit had me so fucked up, that there wasn’t a moment I didn’t think of escaping. The one time I attempted to escape I got caught 20 miles & 10 hours later, & when I got back they had me in boxers & a towel to prevent another attempt. Shit was difficult on me mentally. I took it like a champ but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t affect me in ways I can still see today. All in all, never give up on your kids. Even when shit gets thick, find another way because that way ain’t the way. Stay blessed & powerful
Sorry to hear bro , it killed you mentallyb but you still here to tel your story . And your mama is not , maybe your mama died from the guilt , shout out to your pops , I hope you can write a story to help young kids that are out here looking for their purpose
@@c8ake she definitely was bro. Today I can recognize that she probably felt like it was either that or I would self destruct. & I understand her reasoning behind that. As an adult I don’t hold that over her. Now as a kid I definitely did. But one doesn’t get it till they have their own kids & find themselves in a similar situation
This! Everyone has a story, either you rise from experience or become the experiment. No one is perfect, or untouched we ALL been through it in some way, fighting the same enemy
It's about the dignity and principals more than durability and patience... cause I'll walk for a good opportunity or for alot of money, not going to walk for a dude who wants his ego stroked and belittle me.
I know right Trump even did that on the Apprentice and he would make celebrities show they will be faithful. When you can humble a celeb u r doin sumthin
You getting to that place where it's like every day I'm seeing a new clip from a new interview with someone I didn't even realize I wanted to hear from until you brought them in. Crazy to see the progress this platform is making and it's still early. The future is bright.
Broke eye contact, looked down, then away. Sat back in his seat, nervous hand movements, slightly jumbled words to answer the question. Body language was a little off when math asked if they molested him.
Bruh. The evil that nobody talks about in this country is the foster care system. Like 80% end up in prison, bad addiction or usually both. I can usually spot them in public. Needs a light shined on it for real. Just another thing we will be judged for.
When you have a childhood that's anything BUT normal, it does something to you. It either makes you head strong or it breaks you. I loved listening to him tell his story. As a kid it's brutal and feels like it's never gonna end. As an adult you reflect and it's almost like you can't believe the things you had to endure. We're not victims. We don't want a pity party. We're survivors that have a unique story to tell. Some of us are open to talk about and others refuse to speak about it. Some even block it out but they have a strange sense that something in there past wasn't right.
I salute Yung Berg aka HITMAKA for reinventing himself and his career. Dude have sooo many hits playing on the radio right now that you’ll be surprise of the songs that he written & produce. lol!
His eyes & body language tell me he was lying when he asked him did anything happen to him at that camp … I know he lied to save himself from reliving those moments Salute to you tho Berg!🙏🏽
I’ve been a Berg fan since day one even through his bs with his early rap beefs, he legit has one of the best unknown comeback stories in current hiphop. Documentary needs to happen
What the hell!!! This dude was in a prison!! It's facilities like this in LA that people are trying to get shut down! Is Math understanding what he sayings because it's like they not getting this is real shyt that kids are suffering through even Paris Hilton is working with Congress to shut down these facilities.... DMX went through that his mom put him in there.
This interview triggered a hurtful memory for me bcuz my mother left me in juvenile placement when she had the option to take me home it put a strain on our relationship I’m now 44 and it still hurts the same 😔
this brought tears to my eyes I am sorry king that you went through that and is still sufferng I dont know you and probably will never meet you but mad love to you my brother
It sucks that they try to tell him is saved his life! That’s one of their most famous lines. The amount of trauma that sets a person back from these facilities is not “life saving”.
Aye. Math is cold blooded on the interview side. The man don't miss a beat with the questions. I wish you prosperity. U definitely created a lane for these types of conversations. Keep Rising bro!
Im from Chicago and I feel like its real easy to go down the wrong path and hard to stay on the right one. I feel like your parent has the responsibility to keep you away and out of shit. Sounds like moms wasnt too worried about her son for him to get to that point. At least HE had his dad. Most of us arent even that lucky. He deserves all his success for that traumatization.
Sounds like Glen Mills, right outside Philly. At Glen Mills they would’ve beat the crap out of you then tossed you in the lake. It happen to Simmy Lott from Florida in the 90’s in Buchanan Hall.They are shut down now with lawsuits.
I used to live in west Birmingham, Al (iykyk) I was running a thrift shop and got two kids I always seen outside gas station to work for me, the youngest one was 16, and he told me he got in trouble when he was younger, and his mom sent him to a "behavioral" camp, he told me he wore a shock bracelet, wasn't allowed to talk unless they told him and did manual labor all day. Like scrubbed tiles with toothbrushes. He only told me about it because I was screaming at him and he was just like frozen and wouldn't respond and I kept gettin mad because he wouldn't talk and he said it was because of his conditioning wearing that shock bracelet
I’m so sorry to everyone that endured that.. mad props to those who survived and processed such times.. whether it’s good or not for at risk youths, I still think that such methods should be outlawed. Im firm believer that There are other ways - over hard forced labor- to positively influence and help people make better choices for themselves.
Haha I went thru the same type ish! Got sent from ATL to a boot camp called Ascent (closed now) in Idaho for a little over a year @17 yrs old. Greatest experience, learned more there than anywhere/anytime in my life. Changed my life for the better!
@@ironmictyson3354 bro I wrote a comment a long time ago about the s@@ual abuses in the camp in question and how this isn't the same as your camp. (I think youtube is deleting my comments).
Brotha please! I said that when I saw the Rottweiler interview then I said nope it's definitely the Clark Kent interview hands down I said Maino.lol The level of engagement and interest seems to increase with every up load. I can't keep up. He and Joe Rogan by far are the most entertaining and diverse podcasts/channels out.
Never was really into berg but glad he did this interview with math cuz I see him in a whole new light now definitely support you bro keep doin big things it’s yo time now 💯
This is crazy because my cousin went through this. It’s like the person died, one minute their here and the next you never hear from them for months to years. My cousin got back and was never the same . Parents think it’s fixes the kids but it doesn’t it makes it worse. And on top of that your in a racist town . They put you in school with racist kids as a black kid. and you can’t socialize with anyone . And they beat the kids in there. The stories my cousin told me smh . Shit is awful I’m sorry Hit went through that.
Man I got sent away to Glen Mills in PA. The state closed it down now but man those juvenile homes are crazy. Same shit happens there as in prison just no bars smh...
13:13 Ironically, The Blueprint dropped that Tuesday, on September 11, 2001. Jigga even said on The Blueprint 2….”Rumor has it, Blueprint classic, couldn’t even be stopped by Bin Laden, September 11th marks the era forever of the revolutionary Jay Guevara!”
Respect to this young rapper /producer. Great story and example of talent and hard work, the grind. I was unaware that this was the fella that Maino slapped then later changed his stage name. He was mature enough to admit that he approached Maino in totally the wrong way. He payed the price. Glad it's all peace and love between everybody now.
Who else got that Jerry Springer, Maury, Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, Dr. Phil, Montel Williams vibe where they send the bad kids away to go to boot camp? Shout Hit for makin it out.
I was in a juvenile bootcamp called Arizona Boys Ranch. In Queen Creek AZ. It was a hands on program. Meaning,by state law the staff members can put hands on us!!!. I never got punched or kicked,but I've had numerous incidents where I was picked up and tossed across the room. Shoved into filing cabinets. Digging trenches from sun up to sun down,in 120° Temps. Bear crawling 5/100 yard suicides.. Having to walk through corn 🌽 fields. While their in bloom. You'd come out on the other end covered in mud and pollen!! That's just a short list 📃. I was there from: 1/17/1996 Till:8/01/1998. The reason,a new kid that was hard to "break" was giving staff a hard time So they took him out to one of the many fields and made him P.T(Physical training) Any ways, it's brutal. But after so long,he collapse. Come to find out he was sick that's the reason he was so defensive and defiant. He had to get life flighted. Died on the way to the hospital. He had fluid in his lungs. But they kept pt'ing him!!. So once the cat was out if the bag,every state that sent juveniles there were slowly exited out .(San Diego CA.the state took us back on 8/01/98)(released us to outr parents that day) True story
@@donmiller2705 The Boys Ranch was basically a last resort before a person was sent to Juvenile Prison. I was sent there by California Court system!. While some weathy or upper-class families paid to have their bratty kid sent there.. I doubt if she sent her child there!!.
@@lasheaevans-smith4465 I'm sorry to hear that. I totally believe you!. There wasn't much anyone could do. If you "Ran" . Staff would litteraly hop in the back of pickup trucks and hunt you down.... Drag you back kicking and screaming.. Throw a yellow shirt on you(re-oreantation) Then put you to work IMMEDIATELY!! Grab your work boots-jeans-hat-glasses-shirt-sunscreen- Pick Ax-shovels-wheel barrel..cause it's about to get real dirty.!!!.
Shoutout Boys Ranch in Arizona. I remember my mom reading the news about the boy dying and said, "It's changed so much since you went there 5 years ago!" Like, what? It was just as bad when I was there! She asked why I never complained or asked to come home, but our calls were monitored and we saw the demonstrations on kids who tried to complain or file reports. Worst experience of my life. I got out of there in great shape with a terrible attitude. But I still make my bed and square my gear the same way I did in 1996. Efficiency is efficient.
Man I probaly would never forgive my parents for some shit like that .. parents rather give up on they kids and have somebody else take care of them when shit gets rough .. it’s not like he didn’t have An active dad in his life smh shit crazy .. glad he overcame all that .. he better then ever now tho
I got sent to a similar in Blue Ridge Georgia. It was called Darrington Academy. It also was shutdown for child abuse and molestation and other reasons.
Sounds like some Str8 up Wht people activity I almost don’t wanna believe it, I’ve heard all types of Skits and Stories but this one tops the cake. Wooozzzeeerrrrzzz
I was sent to the same school in 2002-2003. Sometimes it feels like a nightmare and then I hear other people talk about it and it all comes back. That place did more damage then good.
he responded like that because Math asked some bullshit in the middle of his story..... you think Yung Berg is gonna admit he got violated?? in a room full of niggas?? for a podcast that gets watched by 100k+ people? lol Math was being grimey
I went to the same school. After I turned 18 they make you go work on a ranch and they’d have you do work for people in the area and they wouldn’t pay you. I eventually left before “completing” the program and was left homeless in Missoula for 2-3 weeks. That’s how they get you to stay after you turn 18 there, tell your parents that if you leave they have to not help you. It’s a ploy to try and get you to come back. The “school” cost $50,000 for one year and it came out the money my late grandmother had left for me for college. It was tied up in stocks and my mom sold it and sent me there when I was 17 and 6 months old almost 18. I grew up being told that money would be mine when I turned 18 and she stole it from me and sent me away. I never saw any of that money, there was about $20,000 left over. My mom and I have a strained relationship now to say the least.
Note said the same thing on drink champs where he explained doing a song wit c and he fell asleep in between the session he fell asleep and he had to wait mad long for x to wake up and finish cause somebody in x team said to nore in exactly the same words don’t wake up the dog while he’s sleep
Wow never knew the back story to what Berg went through as a shorty, that shit was deep and almost identical to what happened to Earl. Hitmaka/Iceberg/ Young Berg was always a hard worker we both was signed to Bloodline I came in 2001 and was the Producer of Dog 4 Life which was done 20yrs ago and because it was so long ago he forgot that we recorded that record in Philly at the legendary Sigma Sound Studios home of Philadelphia International, Gamble & Huff not Toronto and it was the same day DMX signed me as a Producer to Bloodline #Salute to my brother Hitmaka dope ass interview.
I was just reading about it cause his story sounded crazy. Had to look it up and it's all facts. Spring Creek Lodge out of Montana. Survivor stories about all the shit he talked about the Hobbit, the isolation and abuse. Shits fucked!
