HIT MAKA SETUP BY HIS MOTHER AND ABDUCTED TO NOTORIOUS CHILD CONCENTRATION CAMP DURING 1ST DEAL... 

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

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.

This dude deserved the lifestyle he lives salute to Berg/hitmaka

I know it was painful and all but Berg killed that story 🤣. I was on the edge of my seat

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

You never know what people have been through in their life and if they can come through it and still make it you have no excuse! Much respect!!!

Hearing Berg talk about the 5 hour standing outside with DMX, makes me think about Da Band not wanting to walk for the cheesecake. Salute to Berg!

Getting setup by moms is crazy

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.

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.

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!

“ Your moms set yo ass up, properly gassed up.” - Biggie

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 like how Math Let his guys talk !! This is real Barbershop Talk without the arguing dope podcast that doesn't feel like a podcast!!!

“So they never got you?” “Hell Nawl” 😒 I’m not convinced 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i feel so sorry for anyone who had to go through this. i don’t understand how this is legal.

I heard DMX was like that “don’t wake the dog” 😂😂😂 Nore said that in one of his DMX stories as well

Berg, Joe and Math Hoffa have the best rebrand in Hip Hop this generation

I didn't know Young Berg got a rebrand after he lost his Transformer chain. He's doing well for himself. Wow. Nice job.

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.

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.

Damn I’m glad Math dropped this one✊🏾 the intro always gets me hype then Royce just snatched my energy like he didn’t want to be there

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

Yoooo. That’s a wild story. 😂 “Don’t wake up the dog” even if he’s sleep on a street corner.

*WTF did he just describe I never heard of no shit like that*

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!🙏🏽

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 😔

Yung Berg was a solid rapper, reality check was a good mixtape. He switched over to writing and producing full time smoothly

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”.

That’s sad asf bro like literally no child should go through that.

He does good interviews. He knows how to tell a story. Shout out Hitmaka

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.

Shout-out Math for having love for Harlem, Love that Neek Bucks is there. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I got snatched up just like that. I’m from New York so my mom had me snatched up and sent to what was called the Family Foundation School in Hancock NY. Then they changed it to Allynwood Academy. The Feds shut that place down too. It’s a scam for parents who are worried about their kids

This interview was perfect timing. It’s good to hear about X from someone who was his protégé 🐕

Math you doing your thing as far as knowing what questions to ask and when. And correcting the other fellas when they jump the gun.

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!

Dude this is the craziest sht I ever heard ever. Bro deserves whatever success he got WOW

Math got Everyone coming Uptown ... All Praises Due Beloved Peace

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.

SLOW DOWN MATH YA KILLIN EM

Man i love the evolution of this show but still has the same raw grit since the 1st episode..... Salute from Detroit 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

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 💯

Another one, math!!!👏🙌🔥. Berg makes dope rnb beats, he hardly misses.🎯

Double Salute to Math and the cast members. The elevation been crazy 💯

Berg always gives a great interview. Some dudes show up NOT to say anything. 💯🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

This is a dope interview Math!💯

Wow Math 🧮 Another Top Tier Interview.. Hit Maka Deserves everything he has.. Much love and Respect 🫡

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.

Math killing d game with dope interviews back to back

yo, this man story is insane

This is hands down the best podcast 👏

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.

God Bless you Berg, you deserve all that God has planned for you. 💙

Fire interview clip.🔥

Hitmaka is one of the best story tellers. His story is legendary

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

8:30 + touched a familiar nerve, big up to you berg for overcoming that, salute to Hoffa for being able to capture and cover such a moment👊🏾

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!

I’ve heard berg tell these stories on different interviews all the time but I never get sick of them. He all ways have me intrigued. Lol

This one clip was so entertaining and engaging. This MIGHT be the best interview you've ever done to date!

Fun fact: in Kanye’s Song -Last Call, Hitmaka was the artist he’s referring to that left his company.

Drop these quick math. He is a great interview

Incredible segment ‼️

Math goin in after that fat joe interview it’s been ⬆️🔥

This title crazy lmaoo

I always had love for Hitmaka. Throughout his ups and downs he just kept grinding and leveled up 🏆

MAN I NEEDED THIS STORY, RIH KING

You can learn a lot about the music business from this dude.

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!”

Great clip very interesting..we need more

GREAT DUDE 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 THAT'S A KRAZY STORY! WHEN YOUR MOM GIVE UP ON YOU IT'S OVER WITH! YOU HAVE NO OME

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 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

This is gonna be 🔥 this dude is talented af he was hated on for so long and is finally getting his props…Dope.

He got a lot of INFORMATION this genius is on another level let him keep talking his truth industry babies are speaking out

I never knew none of that about him I look at him totally different now what he went through wasn't easy and is a lot for a kid

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.

Just a comment to show love keep it going brother

I enjoy every episode.

3:56 math face expression priceless

Me wishing I had loving parents growing up: Hit Maka: My mom sent me a letter stating You are now a product of a concentration camp.

Berg always gives a good interview

This made me cry 💯

3:55 the look on Math’s face 😂😂

The irony that Dmx mom did the same thing to him that berg’s mom did to him...

Oh this will be a great interview

thank you

What's crazy is he was signed to DMX and X mom did the same thing to him. Sent him away to boarding school

11:44 But they never got you? hell nah.If you look at Bigga's face a second later you die from mind reading laughter 🤣

Love this dudes comeback story so to speak

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.

YOUNG BERG IS HIT MAKA?? .. WHO KNEW?? .. I DON'T LISTEN 2 2DAY'S MUSIC .. THAT'S NEWS 2 ME ..

NORF PHILLY in dis Butch 💥💥💥

"We sat out there and waited till that nigga woke up...." Math face: Priceless

Dammm... so much content from yall I can't even watch my other channels...

This was wild to hear I woulda never thought he went through that

Best Podcast Out ...It's Hoffa!!!!
