She definitely started getting weird when the new 8 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: young Young ladies kind of according to Hurricane for her spot. 9 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Uh, the if we're going 10 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: to track the history of like the Nikkis to the 11 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Cartis to the Megans, you know at d Stallions, you know, 12 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: now you got all cype of stuff, the ice spices 13 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: and sweeties and all that good stuff. Where Nikki always 14 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: came off a little salty, you know, a little separative. 15 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: I know her and Cardi had a thing, y'all. Remember that. 16 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. There can't be two queens 17 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: in New York, you know. And then there was this 18 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: weird thing where she married a guy who was a 19 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: registered sex offender. Now I don't know enough about his 20 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: story to know the particular details as to what that is, 21 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: but that was always kind of like a thing. Now, 22 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: if you track Nikki's lyrics, there has been references towards 23 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: leading Republican, references towards almost like your coss sound like 24 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: you kind of with the Trump stuff. But then in 25 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, she had revealed that she came to this 26 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: country illegally from Trinidad as a five year old. This 27 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: was during the Kids in Cages era, Like, do you 28 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: hear me saying this that y'all know we live through 29 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: that right. As a side note, I'm always interested in 30 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: hearing people who are jumping off the Trump train, to 31 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: which I would say, welcome, I'm glad, you know, I'm 32 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: glad you finally learned something, you know, But also to 33 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: hear them say, well, you know Trump's first term, I 34 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: mean that that was fine and dandy. He was focused, 35 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: but now he's lost focus, just being cruel man. And 36 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: look they just shot the guy and he defended him. 37 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I appreciate you recognizing the lack 38 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: of humanity now, but you know that first term. The 39 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: first term was the Mexican's gonna pay for the border wall. 40 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: The first term was the separating families and put them 41 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: in cages. What about Obama? Obama? Do you know how 42 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: many protests we was a part of for Obama's deportation policies. 43 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: But you know what the difference between Obama's deportation policies 44 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: and this is he also made the Dream Act and 45 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: he also, I don't know, made sure that the person 46 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: that he was being deported was actually somebody who wasn't 47 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: here legally. You understand, like he did at least the homework. Now, listen, 48 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: you not hearing me being like a you know, a 49 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: neoliberal just like all love and the centrist of it 50 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: all because he was still the deporter in chief. I'm 51 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: just saying, Ice agents ain't throw smoke bombs in front 52 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: of preschools, nor did they kill people in broad daylight 53 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: and try to tell us all that we didn't see 54 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: what we see. The point I'm trying to make is 55 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: it's not like the first term was any better. So 56 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: during the kids in cages era was when NICKI was like, 57 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: I remember she posted it a picture of the thing, 58 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: and she was just like, can you imagine being torn 59 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: away from your family? This has to stop. Fast forward 60 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: to now Sisterhood on turning point usay, you know, coming out, 61 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: she was like, I've always been a Trump fan, and 62 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: all the hay towards me makes me want to go harder. 63 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: And then you couple that with our confusion as to 64 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: like how is Nelly? Turns out Nelly over there too, 65 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: and then we thought we lost Ludacris. But Luda was like, uh, 66 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: this was a mix up. I thought, y'all, y'all thought 67 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: I was going before with this, but no, you know, 68 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: but Nicki's like just glazing the Trump just got like 69 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: what is going on? And then we started thinking, you know, 70 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: her brother and her husband are registered sex offenders. I 71 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: wonder if this is a play, a play to get 72 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: her brother and her cousin off And then as of yesterday, 73 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: of the day that we recorded this, she got her 74 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: gold card, her gold green card. She's officially a US citizen. 75 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: She got what she wanted. Now I don't know her. 76 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: I don't even know her real name. I'm not that 77 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: big of a fan of her. I love hip hop, 78 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: but you got to remember the whole young money thing. 79 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: I'm from Cali. You instead up saying, but anyway, she 80 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: might possibly feel this way. There's a lot of know 81 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: all skin folk ain't can folk. There's a lot of 82 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: people of color that's really with all this. There's a 83 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: lot of even a lot of immigrants that are with 84 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: all this. But with somebody like her, I don't know. 85 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: See you take somebody like her and like Kennis Owens, 86 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: it's just like, oh, you' the major deal and this 87 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: is almost it's to me becoming even more obvious that oh, 88 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: this is a hustle for you. But with Candice is 89 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: like gro you don't believe anything I own. But it's 90 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: it's interesting to me because of the price that this 91 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: and and both of them are willing to pay. And 92 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: the price one may think is like, oh, their own reputation. 93 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna lose a few fans or two 94 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 1: what's a what's a million fans if you have seven 95 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: million fans? Like, what's what's the difference? Right? I was like, 96 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: maybe NICKI, remember I said earlier year, maybe NICKI got 97 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: an album coming out is gonna flop. I can now 98 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: guarantee it is. But the cost isn't a flopped record, 99 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: or or not only a flopped record, or a lack 100 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: of fans or whatever, because you'll pick up fans, will 101 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: be all right, Kanye dropped his apology note in the 102 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. Come to find out four days later, 103 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: his record Bullies is coming out. Just like typical Kanye. 104 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: The cost is we're paying it. It's the black community, 105 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: it's the urban community, it's the collective struggle. You sold 106 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: us out for your little thirty pieces of silver. I'm 107 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: sorry your gold card, because it's not so much that 108 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: you ran game on somebody for you to get what 109 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: you need. Kim Kardashian did that. She ran game on 110 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: Trump to get some prison reform. But I think in 111 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: some ways that helps the community at least right now, 112 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: Nikki did that for herself. And this is the difference 113 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: between what I feel like a conservatism and a progressivism 114 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: within people of color. This is the part of the 115 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: culture that I, while I can understand, I have a 116 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: hard time empathizing with even from the streets, like, oh, 117 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: I got to get mine, you know what I'm saying, No, 118 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: nigg I'm gonna get mine. An't by getting away? You 119 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: feel me dislike nigga, we get money. And I'm like, 120 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: I've always had a problem with that part of culture 121 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: because I'm like, but at what cost? You know what 122 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying I think a lot of times, you know, 123 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: when you talk like obviously like the black on black 124 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: crime thing is foolish, it's because that's your proximity. You 125 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: feel me. But ultimately, even the the criminalist of criminal, 126 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: it's within the people of colors still want to see 127 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: black people flourish. We still want to see racism in 128 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: We still want to see a community that is stronger 129 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: and more healthy. But I don't I, for the life 130 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: of me, cannot understand a person who has grown and 131 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: developed and has been nurtured by our culture that is 132 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: willing to stand on our backs for their own success. 133 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm not saying, and I'm not saying that that's what 134 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Nikki did, but this timing, not only are you black, 135 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: you a black immigrant. On January thirtieth, we did a 136 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: national strike, but you got yours, right, y'all know the 137 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: thirty pieces of silver reference. Right, I'm talking about Judas. Now, 138 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: let me put my Bible hat on you for a second. 139 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: The more you understand about Judas's culture and the time 140 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: of which the Disciples was happening. If this is just Bible, 141 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: so whether it happened or not, ain't the point what 142 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about is what was going on in the 143 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: context of the story. They was waiting for a new 144 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: king They was waiting for the revolution. They wanted somebody 145 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: come here that's gonna literally take Caesar off the throne. 146 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: They was in a place where they was occupied. They 147 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: were under an occupation. You feel me how city being gentrified. 148 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: It's Roman soldiers rolling around the hood telling us what 149 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: we can and can't do, taking lives if you don't 150 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: pay your penance to Caesar. And Jesus was supposed to 151 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: be the one to go in there and j six 152 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: the mugged, you know, tear down the system, because that's 153 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: what you talked about. You talked about a new kingdom. 154 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: So Judas was with the shits. And if there's one 155 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: thing that's interesting also about Judas. Of the disciples, Judas 156 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: was the one with the education. Judas was the one 157 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: that was actually formally trained. He's ready for the revolution. 158 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: This nigga Jesus out here washing feet and feeding poor 159 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: and what like and telling parables and shit, what the 160 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: fuck when is when? When? When is the action happening? 161 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: So there's a way of understanding that Judas was like, well, 162 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: I was here for the action. If you ain't finna 163 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: do this, then you ain't what I'm waiting for. And 164 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: I've been running around these three years for nothing. I 165 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: need to give mine. And as the story goes, he's 166 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: the one that sold out Jesus and the disciples to 167 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: the Sanhedrin, and his pay for telling the Sanhedrin where 168 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: Jesus was at the night he got betrayed was thirty 169 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: pieces of silver. And then also as the story goes, 170 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: he got what he wanted. He ran away, and he 171 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: bought a plot of land. In the scriptures, he hung himself. 172 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: There was even a moment where he felt bad about 173 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: what he did and he tried to get that money back. 174 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: He was like, I made a huge mistake, y'all here, 175 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: you could have it back, but the san Hedrin was like, 176 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: that's your money. You do whatever you want with it. 177 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: W want and we paid you. We got what we needed. 178 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: You do whatever you want. So in the story it's 179 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: supposed to be that he was so filled with remorse 180 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: and self hate that he took his own life. Now, obviously, 181 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: well I hope not obviously, but well, I hope obviously 182 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: I am not saying that's what will happened to Nikki 183 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: that would be awful. But what I am saying is 184 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: you got your thirty pieces. I hope you happy, but 185 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: you didn't pay for it. We did tap in with 186 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: me
