And it's a blessing because 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.399 I think I'm mature enough to know, like what all 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.920 this is is for this is for man, all this 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.920 attention that we get is to really try to teach 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.960 people something that's going to help their lives out, you 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.920 know what I mean. Some people get their attention and 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.200 they think it's just all about them. This ain't about me. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.080 I'm being used in this season though, by God, I'm 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.240 being used. So I'm getting the attention, but I know 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.880 who to give it right back to, you know, which 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:26.240 is God. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.920 And a lot of that, I think is because whether 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.720 people agree or disagree with you, you're being true to yourself. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.600 And I tell people, when you step into that space 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.520 of being true to yourself, then everything just starts coming 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.360 together effortlessly for you. So I definitely salute you for 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.880 always speaking your truth and standing on what you stand 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.920 on and a tasteful way fighting to fight to agree 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.720 or agree to disagree, because that's what it's all about 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.360 at the end of the day. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.320 Say communication leads to unification. That's what I live by here. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:52.600 Man. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.960 I made that up, and I made it up one day. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.560 I think I was rapping and I was like, oh, 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.200 that's a bar. Matter of fact, that's in the song 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.640 I got just about to come out. Community should leads 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.200 to unification. We're not gonna all agree on everything. We 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.600 were sitting there talking about which food spider is the best, 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.360 and everybody's saying, oh it is spider. I don't like 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.560 this person or they alight have the time. It's okay 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.440 to not agree on everything, but let's at least communicate. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.200 And in our culture, we kind of got these clicks 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.000 that's like, oh, this is the type of time on 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.440 you on this type of energy. Will all of y'all 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.640 hang together? Oh you d one you on something else 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.280 where you and all your people hang together? No, man, 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.639 cause we all won. At the end of the day. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.560 We are all one, and we got to have a 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.760 way to have these difficult conversations. So when it comes 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.840 to hip hop, I'm just like, oh, we got a 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:37.960 lot to talk about in this culture because hip hop 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.720 is bigger than any other movement gone for black people 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.080 right now. There's nothing bigger pertaining to black people than 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.240 hip hop. So let's at least be honest about the 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.080 culture and talk about what's good was healthy about it, 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.160 and what might need to change and improve about it. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.920 And that's what I That's what I've been talking on 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.680 lately from the heart from lived experiences being in this 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.200 game for a long time, ups, downs, good, bad and 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.880 ugly and just having these convos man, and yeah, it 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.120 got me on big facts. 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.440 It is that is? That is so? 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.000 So what are some of the things that you think 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.720 is lacking in the culture, like some of the things 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.040 that just ring out to you. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.960 I think we're in the matrix right now. I think 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.200 I think one thing, we we love to kombay around killing. 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.640 We love to hear a bunch of music glorifying murder, 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.840 and we be like, oh, yeah, that's my song right there. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.880 We turning up to that. Man, I'm going to the 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.000 clubs now. I can't wait till they play that. Matter 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.400 of fact, till they play twenty songs like that. We 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.640 got to stop kombay and around killing. And if we 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.160 if we're saying, hey, it's just when that's our stuff, like, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.400 don't criticize that. I cool. Then why do we cry 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.840 when rappers die, but when they're alive we love to 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.720 hear them glorified murder? That type of stuff just don't 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.480 make sense to me no more. Why do I think 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.840 that is? I think that for about thirty years now, Jed, Yes, 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.000 I think about thirty years at this point we have 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:07.040 become more and more numb to what got pushed on us. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.960 And one time, when we was all in their babies, 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.720 it was kind of being pushed on the rappers for 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.440 the first time, like, Hey, if y'all rap about these 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.839 negative topics, we'll get y'all some more bread. We'll sign 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.920 y'all quicker, We'll incentivize y'all to rap about this stuff. 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.640 And once a few people took the bait and was like, yeah, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.640 I'm gonna do it, and then they start rapping about 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.720 it and they see man, the fans loving this stuff, 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.680 and then people start to get more and more used 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.520 to it. Now in twenty twenty four, a dude that 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.000 is sitting here saying, bro, I just think that glorifying 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:42.600 murdering ourselves is bad. I look like the outcasts people 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.720 looking at it like d one man, you tripping man. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.000 You talking about we shouldn't be rapping about murdering ourselves 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.240 and selling dope to our people. That's crazy, yo. Common 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.760 sense ain't controversial, Yo, I ain't no controversial, due you 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.320 heard me. But in this culture, in this day and 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.280 age twenty twenty four, common sense is troversial, and we're 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.600 seeing it I'm speaking on this stuff and I'm speaking 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.360 big facts. But they don't want that. They want the 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:06.960 big captain. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.880 What you're thinking about, how you feel when the Kniggs 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.040 feel like, man, the one you need to get. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.880 Out of my mother fun Man. Your business. If it's 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.880 your business, they keep it to yourself. Don't put it 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.880 out there for the world to hear. Once you put 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.440 it out there for the world to hear, it ain't 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.000 your business no more, hearl Man. It's public content for 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.840 everybody to consume. So you know, a critique and critique, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.719 thank you. We need that other seeing that not just consume. 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.520 Were to the point nowadays, but cats is like, man, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.920 nobody better not even say that my album ain't dope. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.320 If somebody go online and do a review of my 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.200 album and they say my album was whack or they 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.360 ain't like it, it's up you know what I mean. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.920 I got I got issues with that person. Come on, man, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.039 we gotta we gotta do better than that, brother. We 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.520 got to. So for me, I'm not ever critiquing people's character. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.200 I'm critiquing people's content. And I'm not even saying if 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.719 something is whack or not whack because they got songs 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.800 that I'm from New Orleans. Look, when Laughing Taffy first 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.360 came out, you couldn't have told none of us that 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.480 that was about to be a hit. Bagging New Orleans. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.400 We was like, no, sir, there ain't no way this 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.400 song finna go. And then you saw Bloop up the 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.360 Chucks And next thing, you know, all us in New 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:23.039 Orleans dance like boosting Booster at the hog Game. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.200 Love about the same way about that ship, man, But 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.880 that ship got the. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:35.080 Money, manic it is. It is magic when you see 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.200 how a song could catch on and get so big 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.920 and then everybody's singing it and then the whole culture 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.800 that follows it. So when you see that stuff, it's like, 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:48.159 all right, music has real power. We gotta take this 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.239 power serious, man, Like do everybody on this show believe 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.120 in God? Curious? 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:53.520 All right? 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.120 Of course, So we believe in God. We love God, 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.920 and we all love hip hop. Right. I just think 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.960 at a certain point we gotta make a decision what 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.880 do we love more God or hip hop? 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.840 Which one said God always come I mean his name, 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.120 but God always comes first, all right? 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.080 So as we say that, now we're gonna we're gonna 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.080 go one step at the town. As you say that 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.800 God always comes first before hip hop, then if we 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.360 see things going on in hip hop that's not of 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.960 God and that God would be like, oh no, I can't. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.800 I can't rock with that. I can't. Who said how 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:33.520 God feel about the Bible? But the Bible the Bible, 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.600 that's what I'm asking if you believe in so you 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.120 say you believe in God, but you don't believe in 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:44.200 the Bible. Yes, it's different religions, even if it ain't 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.680 the Bible, the Koran, if it's the Koran, whatever it is. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.360 Or someone could be spiritual. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.440 If you're spiritual, then you believe that God. Do y'all 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.800 think God want us out here killing ourselves and killing 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.520 each other? No, there we go. So when we hear 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.000 music that's glorifying us killing each other, then at a 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.040 certain point we got to be like, dang, do I 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.880 go with this catching music that it sound good and 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.560 it's banging, but it's really talking about us killing each 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.800 other and it's like it's making it sound like cool, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.480 like we really bragging on that stuff. Or do I 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.240 be like, I'm gonna resist that temptation and I'm gonna 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.520 go with with what I know God would approve of 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.120 which is like, they got a whole bunch of other 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.600 music out here that's not glorifying that, and let me 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.000 just pick some of that to play, you know what 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.240 I'm saying, Like, that's what I be on because that 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.560 music has power and it starts out as a song, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.760 but then for some people it becomes an anthem. Then 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.360 for some people it becomes a lifestyle. And when we 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.840 talk about, well, why people don't say it's about movies, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.440 why people don't say this about video games? Tell me 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.240 the last actor? My bad if I keep doing it. 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:49.079 I'm a touchy person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look when the 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.920 last time an actor called a rico charge? When the 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.000 last time I actor got put in jail for murking something? 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:02.360 I wait, No, we're right, right, we speaking big facts today, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.040 you hear men. With that being said, it's clear that 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.720 in hip hop, man, this stuff is hitting different, these messages. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.959 It's not the same as movies and video games, because 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.400 the people who listen to rap and who making the 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.240 music actually carrying this stuff out sometimes. Bro. So when 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.840 we see that, like bro, like I told, like I 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.640 told scream off camera, like man, I teach a college class, right, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.240 now you hear me at Tough University that's in Boston. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.920 One of the assignments I had my students do was 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.120 to write Kodak Black a letter in jail. You know 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.280 what I'm saying. He's a lot of their favorite rapper, 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.600 but their favorite rapper locked up in jail. So I 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.920 was like, man, I know Kodak. Me and Kodak did 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.280 interacted a few times and were cool with each other. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.320 So I had my whole class write him a letter 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.720 while he was in jail. He got out, you know, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.000 thankfully Yack is back home. As soon as he got out, 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.679 he was dming each other. He was like, Man, thank 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.679 y'all for them letters. Bro, I got I read every 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.719 letter from you and your whole class. He was like, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.360 y'all snapped, and that stuff really, you know, inspired me 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.600 when I was in there. I'm like, Man, that's that's 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.040 powerfu for Bro. But you can't say that about Man, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.600 my favorite actor who was in this movie. Damn he 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.520 locked up. He doing a bed right now, and we 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.160 got to write letters to him behind the wall. No, Man, 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.439 this rap stuff hit totally different, totally different. So because 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.280 it has that type of power, it's just like man, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.480 I got. I got smoked. For the fans who just 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.280 sit back and they're like, we're gonna listen to this 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.079 music and we're gonna consume all this. But then when 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.000 something happened to the rapper, Oh they in jail. Oh 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.080 that ain't nothing, y'all. T I put a song out 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:34.760 a few years ago. This was on his Paper Trail 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.440 album called My Life Your Entertainment Man. That song was 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.480 so powerful. Just the title of that song. T I said, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.480 this is my life. I'm really going to jail. I'm 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.079 really losing what is part of the name was who 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.960 got killed for Lint Johnson? Right for Lunt. I'm really 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.120 going through this stuff. But this is y'all entertainment. You 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.960 heard me. So when y'all yell at free thug as fans, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.160 y'all ain't thug though not having to do that time 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.840 with him, you not thugs. Family. It's just a hashtag 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.760 to a lot of fans, and they don't care, like 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.160 we hashtag your free thumbs, but we ain't here feeling 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.120 the pain of like damn, he ain't here with us 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.760 no more so you feeling the pain. But I feel 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.319 like you different than the typical fan. Yeah, you different 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.760 than the typical fan. So my thing with the fans is, 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.600 fans got power with y'all. As an artist, man, my fans. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.040 When I look in up comments on Instagram and when 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.560 I look at what people saying, I just dropped a 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.920 new song today feature Raheem Devon, Right, it's called Purify 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.440 My Eyes. People loving the song. That stuff makes me 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.240 feel good. Man, That stuff made me be like, man, 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.200 we gotta go hit the lab right after this big 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.280 fact show and record some more music. Fans got the 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.800 power to make you feel amazing. But with that being said, 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.120 if your fans are gonna buck you up to man, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.800 go live that life you raping about it? 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:53.040 Man? 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.760 Like yeah, if fans is nudging you to really go 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.240 do some toxic stuff, and then when you get killed 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.760 or when you get locked up, you come. It's just 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:02.800 a hashtag for them and then they are on to 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.160 the next artists. They all right, rest in peace, such 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.280 and such. But we found a new favorite rapper just 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.400 gonna rap about killing or whatever. Now that ain't cool. Man. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.080 It's a lot of artists that's in jail on the 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.320 graveyard right now. And they had people around them who knew, like, man, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.719 what you doing, how you living, how you rapping, how 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.840 you moving in the streets. It ain't healthy, it ain't safe, 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.160 But we ain't gonna say nothing. Why because it's entertaining 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.560 to us. You feel like you were chosen to, like 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.440 put this message up. Yeah, that's where the name d 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.400 one comes from. I'm d one, you hear me, But 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.479 my first name David. So I took the D from 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:41.240 from from David and I said, I'm d one.

And that don't mean that there's 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.360 not others that's chosen too, but me personally. Yeah, Like, 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.720 I've been through too much, bro, I done seen too much. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.000 I had to figure out why did my best friend 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.880 just get murdered right in front of our neighborhood where 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.440 we grew up at. Why did these dudes hold me up, 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.520 you know, stick me up when I was in college 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.680 and put that iron right here on my temple, on 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.520 my right temple and about to blow my brains out, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.200 you know what I'm saying. Why was I the one 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.760 who grew up listening to the Hot Bulls and No 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.520 Limit in New Orleans and listening to the same music. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.840 But then I won, not a contest, but I got 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.280 selected to go on this trip to go to Africa 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.640 when I'm thirteen years old.

A 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.040 lot of us ain't even leaving the city. I left 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.040 the continent and went to Africa and had a whole 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.880 different perspective on life. And I'm just like all these 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.520 things that happen, you know, stuff that I seen my 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.480 mama and daddy go through my grandparents like why, And 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.280 it's like, oh, man, I'm the one.

To tell the truth, 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.000 the only person who I saw who showed some outward 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.560 resistance to anything that I said that I was like, 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.480 oh wow, he took that real serious. Was like Rick Ross, Right, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:41.960 I seen Rick Ross go online, and I was basically saying, brother, Uh, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:47.760 you're almost fifty years old. You blessed. You're immensely blessed. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.200 You're a boss in every sense of the word. At 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.960 this point when I listen to your music as a fan, 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.960 and if I'm still hearing like dang, like you glorifying murder, 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.200 you glorifying drug dealing in your music, like what's stup 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.480 with that? I feel like you could do better.

I'm a fan of talent. I'm a fan 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.080 of success, especially from our community. And when I heard 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.680 the music, I was like, I was shocked, really because 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.720 I'm thinking, I'm about listening to some stuff. It's gonna 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.320 tell us, you know, how you building your empire, and this, 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:57.840 that and the third. And when I'm listening to the 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.000 singles they get put out. Man, it's talking about Mrking 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.120 Cats is talking about killing.

You ain't 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.400 addressed nothing. I said, you start talking about how many 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.080 turkeys you give out in the community. I never said 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.160 you don't give out turkeys, but them turkeys feed people 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.600 for one day. Their music feed people for a lifetime, 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.760 and I'm just like, let's talk about it, brother, Let's 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.960 talk about the impact of that, you know, and cats 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.000 get you know, cats get mad because they feel like, oh, well, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:47.320 you said my name. You said my name. You're putting 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:48.640 content out there for the public. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:49.560 What you mean, you. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:50.680 Know, like, I'm gonna keep it rid. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.400 You know, it's like the internet world, so you can 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.560 say certain shit and people go to feel like that shit, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:58.960 especially if it sounds kind of true. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.000 You know what I'm saying. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.400 You could have told me that and make me look 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:02.720 at it a different way, but you put it out 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:03.320 on the internet. 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.720 Now, people, it's just people. Do you think people are just. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.000 Taking it the wrong way because you said something about 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:14.840 like when you say a man name, you gotta be 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.359 on the name. However you want to say whatever you 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.440 want to say after that, or do whatever you want 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:20.920 to do because you said his name, you put yourself 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.320 in that position. Or do you think people are being 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:24.640 just too sensitive? 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.720 I think that along with a lot of success in 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.560 the rap game for a lot of people comes a 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.000 lot of ego, for sure, a lot of ego and 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.480 a lot of pride.

And 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.760 I've been standing on this same tip for I've been 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.400 I've been saying these same type of things, just like, Bro, 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.560 I love hip hop. I'm a hip hop baby. But 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.320 at a certain point, man, we could do better in 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.720 terms of our culture. And it's different when you're OG 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:10.760 versus you a YG. You just a teenager that's trying 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.440 to figure life out. Your brain is still farming. Are 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.359 you in your twenties and you just coming into the 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.160 money for the first time. That hit different when you're 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.960 a little a little kid coming up in this game 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.560 and we supposed to be here as OG's to help 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.960 guide you.

You be saying some 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.280 real ship telling the true nigga like fuck that, nigga, 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:28.160 don't mention my name. 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:33.879 Yeah, And I feel like, man that that's that. That's 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.440 that's a great point right there. So then you got 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.800 to ask yourself, damn, how do we how do we 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:42.840 deal with that? Because what you basically saying I'm reading 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.360 between the lines is even if cats is pushing out 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.240 some evil, some negativity, some hatred. They wanted to go 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.680 underposed because they're like, yes, but I dated to say 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.280 somebody through it, you know what. I yeah, just stay 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.520 out there, out my business. But when you do, now 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.560 I feel tried. There you go. And that's so I 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.000 feel like I feel like that's a trick of the enemy, bro. 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:07.359 That's I want to be able to do evil, but 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.680 I want it to be unopposed, because if somebody try 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:11.679 to oppose it, we call them a cloud chaser. We 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:15.040 call that a hater da dada. That's like really a trick. 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.600 That's almost like your landlord saying, listen, I want the 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:21.200 right to be able to raise your rent each month, 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.320 but you can't say nothing because I got a clause 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.040 in this lease that says if you say something about 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.920 me raising the rent every month, then I could kick 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.040 you out of here. That just ain't right, brother, That 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:33.560 ain't right. 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:33.800 Bro. 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.400 So it's just to that point to where it's like, well, 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.000 how do you approach these conversations? And I think that's 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.080 the thing. We can't not have these conversations though it's 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:45.760 too many rappers that we all love the black men 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.359 and women just like us, and we're seeing their life 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:52.119 get compromised and messed up and all this, man, because 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:55.240 of everybody's seen it coming. You've seen the path they 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.120 was going down, but it was just entertaining to y'all 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.399 or nobody wanted to seem like a hater, so nobody 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.040 wanted to say and you watch that person mess their 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.080 whole life up man like, and more so than the rappers, 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:07.800 it's the fans. Bro. What we didn't talk about is 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:13.080 y'all don't know. I don't think y'all like man. I 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:15.240 was a middle school teacher before I was a rapper, Bro. 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:20.800 I was a whole teacher, really really jed. So before 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.919 I became d one and got in this game, I 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:27.880 was sitting here teaching students in Baton Rouge, watching every 0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.400 student won't be just like Boosy, Watching every student wont 0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.919 be like Gates, you know what I'm saying. Watching how 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.120 much influence Lil Wayne had on one of my students. 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.240 So my student came in class at eighth grader with 0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:42.679 MOB tattooed on his own and he didn't even know 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.040 where mob stood for, but he got it because Lil 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.800 Wayne got a MOB tattooed on his chest. I'm seeing 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.240 that type of stuff in person. This ain't no Internet stuff. 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:55.280 This is before Instagram even existed. So when I'm seeing 0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:58.040 the type of influence that rappers having on the fans, 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.359 I know you always got them fans. Rapping never make 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:03.040 me do nothing. I mean, I could listen to it, 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:04.720 but then I just I don't go out and do it. 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:08.160 Da da da. I get that cool and congratulations, kudos 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.400 to you and to me, because rapping ain't never make 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.120 me jump off the porch and go, you know, live 0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:16.240 that type of life. But I have been around the 0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:18.880 people who it definitely had that type of influence. You're saying, 0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.520 you know it exists, you witness I know the influence exists. 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.280 I witness it. I can't call my best friend no 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.280 more because he dead. Now you heard me, and I 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.720 saw the influence that the music that we was listening 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:32.119 to had on him. And he had great parents, great family, 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.919 but I just seen that. It's like, man, so you 0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:37.560 aver came for them people. Yeah, who ain't got the 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:39.600 strong will. They ain't got no voice, and it ain't 0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.120 got no strong will exactly. I didn't mind people calling 0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.400 me a nerd in school. Look at him he doing 0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.800 his work. He's one of them smart kids in school. 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:51.600 He take books home at night. He doing his homework. Meanwhile, 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.320 we in New Orleans, Heiman, we catching the RTA and 0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.720 my friend when they're telling him that, he's sitting there like, 0:25:57.760 --> 0:25:59.520 and I see it's getting to him. He LIKEDMN. I 0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:01.560 don't want these people making fun of me no more. Man, 0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:03.600 I'm gonna do what I gotta do to fit in 0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.960 with them. I want their acceptance. You want the acceptance 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.439 of the goons, so you gotta become a goon to 0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:12.920 get their acceptance.

He ain't all the way 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.600 had that in him. And we was the same person, man, 0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.320 Me and Carl was twins, basically, you know what I'm saying. 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.600 So I didn't been around this stuff. I know the 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.919 influence it has, so for these rappers to not know 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:37.080 the influence it has. I have people who, Man, these 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.600 people don't change. They hit me up every day and 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:41.680 tell me how much my music has helped them change 0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.399 their life, save their marriage, get them through high school, 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.560 get them through a prison. Big Kody Black hitting me up, man, 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.240 thank you brother them let us. You don't know how 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.760 much that motivated me. I know the impact I have 0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:55.000 and I ain't never wear Platt. So imagine the artists 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.280 that they went platt you heard me, or artists did 0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:03.400 got to different level of success in terms of finances 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:05.359 and all that. Then what I got. I know the 0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:07.240 influence that they got, and I think they know the 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.880 influence they got too, And I think they just sit 0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.640 there and be like, well, you know what, I'm gonna 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.320 still rap about this stuff, but I'm gonna give out 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:19.800 turkeys that Thanksgiving and that's gonna be Ain't that what you? No? 0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:24.720 Brown did give out turkeys? Meanwhile, you selling dope to 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:32.359 the whole hood? What you're saying, I said, somebody gotta 0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:32.720 sell it. 0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:35.399 Somebody got that's not But at the end of the day, bro, 0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:37.080 it's some downs inside of the road. 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:43.920 And I ain't condoning no ignorance, right, But this ship 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:44.760 fucked up, like you. 0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:47.600 Said, the fans it is because if you try to 0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:51.800 go rap with something that you not no more, it's 0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:56.560 like a what you call it when it's double double ends. 0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:58.760 It's a science. It's a science of growth. Though I 0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:02.120 always bring up this is growth. Yeah, like Snoop Dogg. 0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:05.600 Snoop Dogg ain't rapping about what he did when he 0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:06.960 first got in the game. 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:08.119 He don't kind of evolve. 0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.720 He'll still let you know, I'm cripping all that type 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.200 of stuff, but he don't kind of like he wraps 0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:15.959 his evolving. And this is not to go at nobody 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.200 or nothing like that, but I think there's a science 0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.480 to it, you know what I'm saying in respect too 0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.920 of just expression. Though the reality is when you say 0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.800 something about like you know, murder and everything like that, 0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.200 like what if that's all Like what if that's the environment? 0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:31.120 What if you were that Chicago rapper and that's all 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:33.120 you know when you wake up, when you go to sleep, 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:35.199 that's all you see, that's all you're exposed to. You 0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:37.439 might not have been exposed to the world or you 0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.480 haven't evolved in that science yet to rap about someone else. 0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:42.440 So I kind of dance on both sides of it. 0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.120 Yes, sir, Yes, sir, that's how I feel too. That's 0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:49.120 an amazing that's an amazing point. That's why I never 0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:56.000 ever talk about the younger rappers, because I'm knowing that 0:28:56.120 --> 0:29:01.040 they the ones who why I live their reality. But 0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.680 if you sitting here and you're sitting on one hundred 0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:06.719 million dollar empire that shooting built, if you're on private jets, 0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.960 if you then clearly made it, you ammed up. And 0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:12.040 you're older at this point. And I'm not saying older 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:13.880 like to try to make fun of nobody, but you 0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:17.200 literally older. You in your late thirties, you and your forties, 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:21.560 some people in their fifties. You have graduated from that 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.320 phase of life that you're talking about, that that part. 0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.959 So I'm intentional about that because I always look at 0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:28.800 the youth ever since I was a teacher, and I'm 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.000 just like, man, this ain't no bad dude right here, man, 0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:33.840 Fredile bang Noll, my middle school student. Man, I look 0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:36.080 at Fredile, I'm like, this ain't no bad dude right here. 0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:38.880 He just a little kid. He trying to grow. He 0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:42.440 my middle school student. Like literally, you see that, and 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.960 you see he got a lot of potential in him. 0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:48.080 And it's our job as adults to pour into these 0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:50.320 youth to make sure that they can reach their potential. 0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:53.360 But what happens when it's the adult just doing the 0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.320 stuff that's like, hold on, man, you're older than me 0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.400 and you still acting like this. How do you how 0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:02.440 do you approach that? I think you got to approach 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.440 it different than you approach a child. 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.880 But let me ask you this, with that same philosophy, 0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:09.600 how do you feel about jay. 0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:13.080 Z when he made Blue Magic? When he made Blue 0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:17.200 Magic song that was on the American gangst the soundtrack. Yeah, 0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.680 and he was talking about the selling door. See the 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.560 artistic part about something like that is that soundtrack was 0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:26.400 literally the soundtrack to go with the movie. So it 0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:29.120 was like, whatever the movie had going on, jay Z 0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:32.680 literally made it known I'm making songs that match with 0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:36.920 scenes in this movie as opposed to I'm making songs 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:40.760 just about how I'm living currently. I think that that's 0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:42.440 the nuance with an example like that. 0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:48.240 Yeah, but do you think that when older rappers or 0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:53.880 more mature rappers speak to current things that are going 0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:59.200 on in the street, do you think that they're automatically 0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:01.400 saying that this is how I'm living now or they're 0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:05.480 saying that this is what's going on in the streets 0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:06.880 from my current perspective. 0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:10.360 Beautiful, beautiful question. Yeah, that's that's good man. That's a 0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:13.680 super good question. You we gotta know the difference between 0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:18.640 narration and glorification. Some of these dudes is really good 0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:20.960 and narrating what's going on in the street and they 0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.920 describing the social conditions. My favorite rapper of all time 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.680 is Knives. I feel like we clearly know that Knives 0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.200 grow up in the streets. You heard me, Like, we 0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.880 clearly know he grew up in QB. You know, Queen's 0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:36.880 Bridge projects, all that stuff. But Nives has a way 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:40.480 of talking about what's going on without saying I'm the 0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:42.960 one you hear me, It's finna come walk you down. 0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:46.000 I'm the one that is our cher murkings and murking 0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.120 add and da da da, and that way, we feel 0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:49.520 like we can relate to it because. 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.800 He talked about what's going on saying you're saying basically 0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:54.960 nas nas narrating heen condona. 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:58.440 The con Yeah, I got a good hear in my 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:02.640 like alls got an ear to what we can hear. Like, man, 0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:07.080 when these people are rapping like this, like you listen 0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:11.080 to these lyrics. This ain't just talking about what's going on. 0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:14.040 This is saying I will do this to you. I'm 0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:17.040 doing this I'm gonna give my potner a bag to 0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.760 come do this to you. We ain't crazy. So when 0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:23.040 we're hearing that we ain't crazy, nobody to make me 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:28.600 think I'm crazy. That's one thing, Big Facts. Nobody made 0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:29.440 me think I'm crazy. 0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:29.600 Bro. 0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:32.320 No, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I ain't knocking 0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:35.440 nobody who do keep doing? You know what I'm saying. 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.400 I ain't crazy though, Bro. So when people try to 0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:43.400 make it seem like, but don't you think this, No, No, 0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:59.240 not because you're crazy octopus? You crazy? You crazy bang? 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:02.120 If if you was to try to make it seem 0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:05.080 like d you hearing this music wrong? Bro, they're not 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.880 glorifying killing. I'll be having people who and I ain't 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.480 even gonna say their name, but y'all know who y'all is. Man, 0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:14.120 y'all interview me, and y'all y'all just want to sound 0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:15.800 bite out of me.

I know, I know this, 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:27.240 big Facts, but even me saying their name is I'm 0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:30.240 talking about stuff that didn't happen already. Yeah, you know, 0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:32.360 but they got people who try to make it seem 0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:34.800 like I'm crazy to be like, I have no idea 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:37.720 what you're talking about. I don't think people be glorifying 0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.360 murdering in their music ever. If you got an example, 0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:41.959 go ahead on and give me an example. Say it. 0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:46.840 I'll be like, brother, you guys, look at him. That's 0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:50.360 good viral right now, won't you?

I get it. 0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:14.160 I get it because at the end of the day, 0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.759 you still making the soundtrack of life, and niggas is 0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:18.640 actually out here doing the same shit. 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.359 Some niggas got their mind made up, and I hate 0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.319 the sound. Even some nigs got their mind made up, 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:24.960 like the nigga that you influenced them. 0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.080 Now that's fucked up.

That's the soundtrack to people's lifestyle. Who mine 0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:50.399 is made up? I guarantee you if the people that's 0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.839 listening to murder music, ninety nine percent of them ain't 0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:56.279 never killed nothing and ain't gonna never kill nothing over 0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:58.480 the course of their life.

And what 0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:35.719 that does is is people gonna watch this at home 0:47:35.920 --> 0:47:38.359 and be like, man, I can't knock none of them 0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:42.719 because we seeing black people unify because they choosing to communicate. 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:45.080 That's it. That's facts, right, absolute. 0:47:44.880 --> 0:47:46.600 Shit right, big fact. 0:47:47.000 --> 0:47:50.200 One thing that Bank is saying though, that is very 0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:51.719 very very very important. 0:47:52.239 --> 0:47:54.400 He portrays it the way that he does that we 0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:55.000 should be. 0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:58.320 Able to ask questions about anything about a religion, about 0:47:58.320 --> 0:47:59.879 this and that, and the third we should be able 0:47:59.920 --> 0:48:02.279 to ask questions without it just being this is what 0:48:02.320 --> 0:48:02.680 it is. 0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:05.600 That should make one hundred percent uh, Like you never 0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:07.440 found a contradiction like reading the Bible. 0:48:08.800 --> 0:48:12.480 I have found contradictions reading the Bible. I have found contradictions. 0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:16.279 And the contradictions that I found was mainly between the 0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:20.200 Old Testament and the New Testament. So the Old Testament, 0:48:20.239 --> 0:48:22.120 like the first part of the Bible, the Old Testament 0:48:22.160 --> 0:48:26.480 thick too. They had stuff that man, they had a 0:48:26.480 --> 0:48:29.560 lot more killing, They had a lot more behavior that 0:48:29.719 --> 0:48:31.719 was being like permitted. They talking about, look you know 0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:34.000 the way we wrop for I have two full too. 0:48:34.320 --> 0:48:36.400 There was a lot of stuff in there that that 0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:42.439 is not up to part with the standards that quote 0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:45.680 unquote Bible people trying to preach. 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:48.759 Who goes like this, I don't want to say this, 0:48:49.160 --> 0:48:50.960 And I said, I'm trying to get canceled, but I'm 0:48:50.960 --> 0:48:53.320 fini gone and said, who wrote the first babble? 0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:56.640 No? Really, ship who wrote the first? About the people 0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:59.000 who wrote the first bout King James or something? Right, 0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:02.040 that's not the first. That's not the first Bible that 0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:05.320 there's all these translations and I see what you're talking about. 0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:07.719 When you get the King James version and then you 0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:11.120 get this translation, and this translation with people end up 0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:12.960 being like it's like yo, So you mean to tell 0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:15.120 me somebody different took this whole book and wrote it 0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.439 the way they wanted it to be. That's is yes, 0:49:17.719 --> 0:49:19.760 But the other part of that is that's not a period. 0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:23.600 That's a comma, yes, comma. But what they wrote and 0:49:23.680 --> 0:49:26.759 the different translations, a lot of times them translations was 0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:30.600 just to fit the language of that time in that place. 0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:32.600 So if you wrote that Atlanta version of the Bible, 0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:34.680 it'll be a whole bunch of Maames and a whole 0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:36.839 bunch of how y'all talk out here in Atlanta, It'll 0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:38.319 be a whole bunch of that slang in it. If 0:49:38.320 --> 0:49:40.120 I wrote the New Orleans version of the Bible, they'd 0:49:40.120 --> 0:49:42.040 be like said, dog, you and me look, let me 0:49:42.040 --> 0:49:45.319 tell you what's y'am baby. So that boy Jesus you did, 0:49:45.440 --> 0:49:47.760 he had and I'll write it in New Orleans terms. 0:49:48.000 --> 0:49:53.680 That's what the different translations of the Bible story that 0:49:55.120 --> 0:50:04.160 almost tell me two different translations. You read that like 0:50:04.440 --> 0:50:07.359 the verse yeah, the versions, not the stories. I'm saying, 0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:10.640 like the Old Testament and New Testament. There's two different writers, right, 0:50:11.600 --> 0:50:13.960 the Old Testament and you know what the New Testament is, 0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:16.920 bro The New Testament is from the time Jesus was born. 0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:17.920 That's all. That's the difference. 0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:18.080 Right. 0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:20.080 But they said, but they said I thought they said, 0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:22.160 and I don't know how to say this. I thought 0:50:22.200 --> 0:50:25.640 they said in the first Old Testament, like it was 0:50:25.680 --> 0:50:27.280 forbidden for man to be a man. 0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:30.839 Right, forbidden for man to be a man, for man 0:50:30.880 --> 0:50:34.960 to be with man, Yes, sexually, and that's still forbidden. 0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:38.719 Okay, But they said, how do you how do you 0:50:38.760 --> 0:50:44.840 call these people? How do you call these people's the 0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:47.839 other gender without defending them? How you say that homosexual? 0:50:48.160 --> 0:50:48.520 All right? 0:50:49.160 --> 0:50:53.240 They said, homosexual wrote the Second Testament right the New Testament? 0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:57.759 No, who said that? I never heard that Google. 0:50:58.440 --> 0:50:58.680 Huh. 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:01.880 They're said King James wasn't sexual, I mean. 0:51:03.640 --> 0:51:06.160 Did not King James didn't write the New Testament. 0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:10.080 Well that's King There are King James versions. They are 0:51:10.160 --> 0:51:12.320 King James versions of the Bible flowing around. 0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:14.319 No, that's King James versus guess who wrote the Book 0:51:14.320 --> 0:51:16.680 of Matthew.

So how could you doubt how God feel about you? 1:00:38.040 --> 1:00:44.440 When God, Jesus, Jesus. 1:00:44.120 --> 1:00:47.800 Is God and human phone to you according to the 1:00:47.800 --> 1:00:49.840 word of God, the Bible word. 1:00:50.000 --> 1:00:54.120 But that's the word about the Bible is the word 1:00:54.200 --> 1:00:57.600 of man's interpretation from these niggas that you said God 1:00:57.640 --> 1:00:58.120 spoke to. 1:00:58.720 --> 1:01:01.400 For y'all act like God had pencil and was just like, 1:01:01.840 --> 1:01:03.640 all right, give me, let me. I gotta know, how 1:01:03.720 --> 1:01:04.560 can we believe it? 1:01:06.080 --> 1:01:08.480 Did y'all see the Book of Claire believed y'all see 1:01:08.520 --> 1:01:12.760 the Book of Clarence saying that I ain't see that Niggavanessa. 1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:15.000 He the same nigga, Like, oh they heal a nigga. 1:01:15.120 --> 1:01:16.960 He looked at the Jesus. 1:01:17.120 --> 1:01:21.160 He became a Jesus Vanessa, right, Like, but you always 1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:21.960 got a knockoff. 1:01:21.960 --> 1:01:24.720 You got the real lou Bitony, you got the knockoff. Okay, 1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:27.280 so so you got the real Jesus. I was gonna say, 1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:29.520 Jesus is the real Jesus. Why we can't say Jesus 1:01:30.080 --> 1:01:34.560 the real Jesus? Who the real Jesus is? But still. 1:01:36.480 --> 1:01:41.400 He won so completely real, Like I read all of 1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:43.720 these scriptures talked about him, to be honest, and I 1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:44.560 live by songs. 1:01:44.600 --> 1:01:46.440 I love songs. It's like poetry to me. 1:01:46.560 --> 1:01:49.400 Right, But when I was a teenager, I went into 1:01:49.480 --> 1:01:52.680 an actual church and asked a lot of questions to 1:01:53.840 --> 1:01:57.040 the head of that church. And when them questions became 1:01:57.080 --> 1:02:00.400 a little too like, he asked a lot of questions. Son, 1:02:00.880 --> 1:02:02.560 some of this stuff you're just gonna have to take 1:02:02.640 --> 1:02:05.000 as faith. That's not what I choose to do. I 1:02:05.040 --> 1:02:07.200 want to ask questions. I want to know. If you 1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:09.280 don't know, say you just don't know. So I'm not 1:02:09.360 --> 1:02:12.320 knocking anybody's religion. I just know that, Deezel, I wouldn't 1:02:12.360 --> 1:02:14.680 be I wouldn't I wouldn't be in business with them 1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:17.400 if they weren't God fearing people. I understand what you're 1:02:17.400 --> 1:02:19.080 saying because some of my aunties are the same way 1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:20.320 Jesus and Christ. 1:02:20.400 --> 1:02:22.560 And this is the belief. And I respect that you 1:02:22.560 --> 1:02:23.120 know what I'm saying. 1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:28.280 But the God, the God coalition, God isn't within all 1:02:28.320 --> 1:02:30.640 of us, right, so we know that God is within 1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:31.560 all of us. 1:02:32.880 --> 1:02:36.640 This is part of the problem. Religion can be somewhat separating. 1:02:36.720 --> 1:02:37.479 You see what I'm saying. 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:40.960 We're having a good conversation, but it's like everybody's they're 1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:42.000 gonna believe regardless. 1:02:42.040 --> 1:02:47.640 No, no, don't get it. But but work for me, 1:02:47.640 --> 1:02:50.120 don't work for I don't get what you don't get 1:02:50.160 --> 1:02:51.440 what I'm saying. 1:02:51.920 --> 1:02:54.680 You know, I actually appreciate what y'all are saying because 1:02:54.800 --> 1:02:57.320 because watch this, I see how God is working in 1:02:57.360 --> 1:02:59.280 this moment, because they got so many people at home 1:02:59.320 --> 1:03:02.200 watching this, Like man Jay's saying what I be thinking. 1:03:02.440 --> 1:03:04.880 And the thing is, d One ain't no pastor, right, 1:03:05.080 --> 1:03:07.040 but since d One is a man of God and 1:03:07.120 --> 1:03:09.120 d One is a Christian and he ain't shy about that, 1:03:09.520 --> 1:03:11.640 when d One come here, it's like, well, we finish 1:03:11.680 --> 1:03:13.400 ask d One all these questions that we got. And 1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:15.960 I respect that. And so for me, I'm knowing that 1:03:16.160 --> 1:03:18.160 like you, as much as I do know the Word 1:03:18.160 --> 1:03:19.760 of God and as much as I rep for it, 1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:22.920 that there's also a point to where I recognize that 1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:26.160 there's people who do this for a living. It's called 1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:29.520 people who study apologetic apologetically you. 1:03:29.520 --> 1:03:29.800 Know, how to. 1:03:32.000 --> 1:03:36.240 Do you think that? Okay, I'm in a different religions? 1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:40.000 Is it how many different religions I'm saying this? You 1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:44.280 think in the world? Do you think they're less blessed 1:03:44.440 --> 1:03:46.919 that they don't believe in Jesus? That's a great question. 1:03:46.960 --> 1:03:49.800 Do I think they're less blessed? No? I don't think 1:03:49.800 --> 1:03:54.080 that they are less blessed because God is so big 1:03:54.120 --> 1:03:57.400 and so powerful and so mighty that God even tell 1:03:57.480 --> 1:04:00.600 us to pray for and have love for our enemies. 1:04:00.800 --> 1:04:09.760 No, we're talking. We're talking specifically about about specifically. What 1:04:09.840 --> 1:04:11.200 he's saying is that's a metaphor. 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:16.320 Even if somebody don't know saying, you keep telling about God. 1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:19.280 I'm saying, listen, people can get to God different ways, 1:04:19.360 --> 1:04:20.560 right in their religion. 1:04:21.040 --> 1:04:21.520 People don't. 1:04:21.640 --> 1:04:23.720 People never said that they didn't believe in God because 1:04:23.720 --> 1:04:27.040 they didn't believe in the bum. If somebody is a Buddhist, 1:04:27.040 --> 1:04:28.840 do I think that they can still be blessed the 1:04:28.880 --> 1:04:31.160 same exact way as you believing in Jesus the same 1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:31.880 exact way. 1:04:32.760 --> 1:04:36.000 Mm hmm, yeah, you know what saying. 1:04:36.120 --> 1:04:39.120 So it's not I think what the issue is. I 1:04:39.160 --> 1:04:41.040 think just from me saying your listen. 1:04:40.760 --> 1:04:43.080 So what's the difference. So, so you call it Jesus, 1:04:43.080 --> 1:04:47.000 you say Jesus is God. That's that's your God, all right, like. 1:04:49.600 --> 1:04:54.960 Mohammad, not go ahead, it is it is. 1:04:55.360 --> 1:04:57.200 No, it's it's you saying. 1:04:57.240 --> 1:05:00.840 You're saying, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that's your belief, 1:05:00.880 --> 1:05:05.160 your religion, that's what it is. And Islam they will say, Mohammad. 1:05:05.960 --> 1:05:08.720 Buddhists will say, Buddha, you see what I'm saying. So 1:05:08.960 --> 1:05:12.640 it's that's that's the but. But but I think where 1:05:12.680 --> 1:05:17.400 the confusion comes from is these are all prophets, and 1:05:17.520 --> 1:05:22.160 prophets deliver the message from the most high correct. So 1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:24.200 that's kind of where we're coming from. 1:05:25.640 --> 1:05:30.000 Talk the good, the bad, gang whoever talked, just like politicians, 1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:33.040 whoever said, okay, let's say what Jesus said. Jesus got 1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:36.120 he got in people, Muhammad got in people whoever in, 1:05:36.120 --> 1:05:37.440 Buddhists got their people, whoever. 1:05:37.840 --> 1:05:41.040 You know, we have a room a line tomorrow exactly. 1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:44.720 So it's like so, but it's one god man man say. 1:05:45.160 --> 1:05:47.400 But when you asked me this question, brother, you asked 1:05:47.440 --> 1:05:50.440 me a question specifically about can people who don't believe 1:05:50.440 --> 1:05:52.520 in Jesus be blessed the same way people who do 1:05:52.560 --> 1:05:55.640 believe in Jesus can be blessed? That's his heck, you said, 1:05:56.040 --> 1:05:59.680 you start enemies, because I got to say, that's that's 1:05:59.720 --> 1:06:04.959 how much like we we confused being elevated with being blessed. Brother, 1:06:05.240 --> 1:06:07.959 the devil can elevate people. The devil could blessed people. 1:06:08.000 --> 1:06:10.560 Oh man, no, no, you're going to de elevate people. 1:06:10.600 --> 1:06:12.920 So if you're asking me, can people still be blessed? 1:06:12.960 --> 1:06:17.800 So so do you think people believe in Jesus with 1:06:17.880 --> 1:06:21.320 the devil burda all we doing? No? No, no, listen, no no, 1:06:21.320 --> 1:06:25.480 I don't all we're doing right, were rolling the dice 1:06:25.560 --> 1:06:28.840 right now because on Earth were looking at man, look 1:06:28.920 --> 1:06:31.920 I'm alive, I'm healthy, I look good. I'm alive, I'm healthy, 1:06:31.960 --> 1:06:33.880 I look good. I'm blessed. You blessed. We all blessed 1:06:33.920 --> 1:06:36.000 out and we could all say I'm blessed because of 1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:39.560 this person. I'm blessed because of this person. Right. All 1:06:39.600 --> 1:06:42.800 were doing down here is we rolling the dice for 1:06:42.960 --> 1:06:45.360 after we die and we ain't here no more. We 1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:47.480 rolling the dice based on what we believed in and 1:06:47.560 --> 1:06:49.960 what we believe the souci our blessings was. That's going 1:06:50.040 --> 1:06:52.320 to determine what's next for us after this because at 1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:55.160 that point it ain't no guessing. All we're doing while 1:06:55.160 --> 1:06:57.920 we're down here is what you're doing with your head 1:06:58.000 --> 1:07:00.120 and your bet on you are you are bet if 1:07:00.160 --> 1:07:02.360 the universe is blessing you, Let's see what the universe 1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:04.040 do you when you die, I'm gonna see what I'm 1:07:04.040 --> 1:07:05.800 gonna see what God and Jesus Christ do for me 1:07:05.840 --> 1:07:08.480 when I die. 1:07:08.600 --> 1:07:12.240 Because Yeah, because I think, first, let me say when 1:07:12.240 --> 1:07:13.840 i'm let me first, let me go back to what 1:07:13.880 --> 1:07:16.240 I was getting ready to say before everybody else was talking. 1:07:16.560 --> 1:07:19.160 I think where the disconnect and this conversation is coming 1:07:19.160 --> 1:07:24.160 in at is because I think that you're like misconfusing. 1:07:24.960 --> 1:07:27.040 That's not a word, but I think that you're like 1:07:27.840 --> 1:07:31.720 misunderstanding the fact that as far as God is concerned, 1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:35.520 the big head man over all of this shit, we're 1:07:35.560 --> 1:07:39.880 all on the same page about him. But where we're 1:07:39.880 --> 1:07:44.200 having a discrepancy at is the whole Jesus thing, the 1:07:44.240 --> 1:07:47.880 whole Bible thing, the whole interpretation thing, the whole way 1:07:47.960 --> 1:07:50.440 that it was presented. 1:07:50.160 --> 1:07:53.080 To the people when it did come out. 1:07:53.640 --> 1:07:57.240 As opposed by the people that like put it out 1:07:57.400 --> 1:08:01.360 as opposed to it being like a personal presented as 1:08:01.400 --> 1:08:04.160 a personal interpretation of each one of these people. It 1:08:04.280 --> 1:08:07.000 was presented as the one and only Gospel, and that's 1:08:07.040 --> 1:08:07.600 not the case. 1:08:08.560 --> 1:08:11.800 So if y'all don't claim to be Christians, let me 1:08:11.840 --> 1:08:13.880 ask you a question. Have any of y'all ever been 1:08:13.920 --> 1:08:16.679 blessed by a sermon that a Christian passed the spit 1:08:16.840 --> 1:08:17.240 for sure? 1:08:18.120 --> 1:08:20.160 Yeah, religion, but religion. 1:08:20.200 --> 1:08:21.920 If you're gonna listen to my bab ball, you're gonna 1:08:21.920 --> 1:08:23.120 get blessed by some of that ship. 1:08:24.080 --> 1:08:26.639 That's just it's whatever you feels in your spirit. 1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:28.960 Bro, I've been to, I've been to the mosque, have 1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:29.839 been blessed by. 1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:33.000 Exactly i'd have been to, and I'd have been places 1:08:33.040 --> 1:08:35.800 that can't even understand, but can see the spirit moving 1:08:35.840 --> 1:08:36.760 in these people. 1:08:36.560 --> 1:08:38.760 Couldn't even understand. When I went to Africa one time, 1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:41.320 I didn't even understand the people saying, but I felt 1:08:41.360 --> 1:08:44.479 that right, you get what I'm saying. So it's just 1:08:44.520 --> 1:08:45.800 what it is. And I don't know who they was 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:48.800 talking to. What I feel like is whatever, if you 1:08:48.920 --> 1:08:51.679 believe in what you believe in all the way, that's 1:08:51.720 --> 1:08:54.720 what makes you get to where you're trying to go. 1:08:55.320 --> 1:08:58.559 Like the belief system. You get what I'm saying, I believe, like, 1:08:59.320 --> 1:09:03.240 because who's to say, Yeah, what's what? 1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:06.479 How do you believe?

Yes? That this 1:09:26.400 --> 1:09:28.240 is This is God right here.

So all 1:10:36.400 --> 1:10:39.519 these spirituals people from our country, brother, from African ship, 1:10:39.800 --> 1:10:43.559 what they they just is not it's just not pre 1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:47.200 is just not talk to us on how strong our 1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:48.240 people was too. 1:10:48.200 --> 1:10:50.479 And like what those religions was, Yeah, with those regions. 1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:52.760 It's just not talk how these people has healed ship, 1:10:53.040 --> 1:10:57.400 has cured blindness, cured age, cured illness, cured all type 1:10:57.400 --> 1:10:57.760 of ship. 1:10:58.040 --> 1:11:00.320 It just ain't been publicized the way this is. 1:11:00.720 --> 1:11:03.160 And the reason just because this book is more popular, 1:11:03.760 --> 1:11:05.320 this book is more popular. 1:11:05.520 --> 1:11:07.400 This is what we believe the most. 1:11:07.880 --> 1:11:12.439 And the reason that our teachings from our people wasn't 1:11:12.439 --> 1:11:16.360 publicized is because if we would have been taught our 1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:19.519 teachings from our people, we would no longer feel the 1:11:19.560 --> 1:11:20.400 need to be oppressed. 1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:25.360 Exactly. We would feel that. That is so because we 1:11:25.439 --> 1:11:27.200 walk around calling each other king and queen. 1:11:30.960 --> 1:11:32.080 What they said, what they said? 1:11:32.120 --> 1:11:44.520 Because King Queen, Grand Rising, King Grand Rising. 1:11:41.840 --> 1:11:43.840 What you're saying is right, But it ain't the King Queen. 1:11:43.920 --> 1:11:46.280 What they said, what they say, it is what they say. 1:11:46.320 --> 1:11:49.360 It is as a black person, as a black person, 1:11:49.439 --> 1:11:52.439 right if you go into great authors John Herrick Carton, 1:11:53.280 --> 1:11:56.080 so far and so forth, as a black person, if 1:11:56.120 --> 1:11:58.240 you really knew your history and where the fuck you 1:11:58.360 --> 1:12:01.920 came from, you can't even reson they on a particular plane. 1:12:02.080 --> 1:12:03.920 You understand what I'm saying when you say, how did 1:12:03.960 --> 1:12:06.639 it happen for Bank? It happened for Bank. In his journey, 1:12:06.720 --> 1:12:09.080 he just became wiser, You know what I'm saying. He 1:12:09.080 --> 1:12:10.519 connected with God, he became wiser. 1:12:10.680 --> 1:12:10.840 Man. 1:12:10.920 --> 1:12:11.880 I can't move or. 1:12:11.800 --> 1:12:15.000 Think like that no more. He's the same person that's 1:12:15.040 --> 1:12:18.800 at heart, the same person always loved. But because he 1:12:18.840 --> 1:12:21.519 went through his experiences, is like, I can't just be 1:12:22.400 --> 1:12:24.240 the same Like you said what you said, you was 1:12:24.280 --> 1:12:28.360 retarded at one point. He's still the same person at heart, 1:12:28.880 --> 1:12:31.080 the good person that we love, but he's wiser now. 1:12:31.120 --> 1:12:34.920 So there understanding of how life works exactly right up 1:12:34.960 --> 1:12:38.800 right up with all due respect, because this is this 1:12:38.920 --> 1:12:41.280 that that it's that crack right here, this whole talk. 1:12:42.520 --> 1:12:45.599 There are a lot of kids who come from royal 1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:49.479 blood lines. They daddy was a billionaire and the kid 1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:53.800 is out there wilding out, drugging it, tugging. They know. 1:12:53.840 --> 1:12:55.800 It's a lot of that. There's a lot of people 1:12:55.800 --> 1:12:59.320 who with that what's the old phrase, Oh you're the 1:12:59.400 --> 1:13:01.840 daughter of a Oh we know, y'all a wireless ones. 1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:03.639 You know what I'm saying. Oh, for real, your daddy 1:13:03.640 --> 1:13:07.320 a whole past the blessing people, getting people saved and 1:13:07.360 --> 1:13:10.719 all this stuff on Sundays helping bless people. But his daughter, 1:13:10.760 --> 1:13:13.920 who comes from his bloodline, is out there on some 1:13:14.000 --> 1:13:15.000 whole other type of stuff. 1:13:15.040 --> 1:13:16.600 So just like you can be real quick, just like 1:13:16.640 --> 1:13:18.360 you can be led on the righteous path, you can 1:13:18.400 --> 1:13:19.759 be led astray exactly. 1:13:19.960 --> 1:13:22.240 And I feel like hip hop at this point is 1:13:22.800 --> 1:13:26.400 what's leading our people more than even church when you 1:13:26.439 --> 1:13:29.000 think about it, bro, they got more like the twenty 1:13:29.040 --> 1:13:32.040 five and under generation. They are listening to rap music 1:13:32.200 --> 1:13:34.680 way more than they're listening to sermons or going to 1:13:35.080 --> 1:13:37.639 church or anything like that. So let's be honest about 1:13:37.680 --> 1:13:40.160 the power of rap music, and let's be honest about 1:13:40.200 --> 1:13:43.040 what sermons are being spit via rap music. That's a 1:13:43.080 --> 1:13:47.000 metaphor for what messages are being glorified in rap music, 1:13:47.040 --> 1:13:49.759 because that's the bible for a lot of people selling 1:13:49.840 --> 1:13:53.480 me twenty five, and that's their bibles Apple Music and Spotify. 1:13:53.640 --> 1:13:54.679 So let me ask you a question. 1:13:55.200 --> 1:14:00.599 So outside of like the rap music, you don't think 1:14:00.720 --> 1:14:04.639 that like TV, movies and YouTube have an even more 1:14:04.680 --> 1:14:05.720 major effect. 1:14:05.600 --> 1:14:07.719 Not a more major effect? Do they have an effect? 1:14:07.720 --> 1:14:10.960 I believe all media has an effect. I in my 1:14:11.080 --> 1:14:16.280 lifetime Swedish have not encountered a type of media that 1:14:16.360 --> 1:14:19.840 has more of an impact than that rap. 1:14:20.200 --> 1:14:24.400 That rap got the vibration, dude, there, it got different vibration. 1:14:24.520 --> 1:14:27.240 That beat. That ship you want the drugs to do? 1:14:27.320 --> 1:14:30.760 So to your ada, I can't listen to certain ship now, 1:14:31.000 --> 1:14:33.479 I still be counting. Make you want to go back 1:14:33.479 --> 1:14:37.640 into some Turn that ship off, turn on some I 1:14:37.640 --> 1:14:40.519 need getting take because I go there in that certain ship. 1:14:40.600 --> 1:14:41.960 They got yo. 1:14:46.479 --> 1:14:50.040 Right then't gonna go on your timeline. 1:14:52.080 --> 1:14:54.160 You just like that subject. 1:14:55.240 --> 1:14:56.360 It's the most powerful thing. 1:14:56.520 --> 1:15:00.519 So we agreeing on that head red rong, Yeah we 1:15:00.640 --> 1:15:04.559 know it. Very ship turned me up. Pitch what I 1:15:04.600 --> 1:15:08.759 thought the nigga said. 1:15:08.960 --> 1:15:09.439 Is up. 1:15:09.479 --> 1:15:13.519 So since we agreeing on that, I'm just saying, let's 1:15:13.520 --> 1:15:16.720 go one step past agreeing on that, and let's say, dame, 1:15:17.320 --> 1:15:21.240 whoever made the Red Room song, whoever made that song. 1:15:22.080 --> 1:15:24.960 I'm saying, all right, whoever made that making them songs, 1:15:25.240 --> 1:15:29.080 and whoever consuming them songs? How do we reach them 1:15:29.120 --> 1:15:31.160 to where we teach that brother? Hey, brother, you could 1:15:31.160 --> 1:15:33.719 do better than that. Though you can still make his songs, 1:15:33.880 --> 1:15:35.680 you can still be a rapper, but you could do 1:15:35.720 --> 1:15:37.360 better than that, my brother, Like, I know. 1:15:37.320 --> 1:15:48.240 You going like that, brother. 1:15:46.439 --> 1:15:48.240 Because because let me, let me just speak to the 1:15:48.280 --> 1:15:49.720 brother that made that song. We're not gonna call no 1:15:49.840 --> 1:15:52.759 names or whatever, but the brother that made that song 1:15:53.760 --> 1:15:55.880 is one of the brothers that I was speaking about, 1:15:55.920 --> 1:15:57.000 like earlier. 1:15:56.840 --> 1:16:00.360 In this episode that basically. 1:16:01.080 --> 1:16:05.240 Has turned his life experiences into his art form to 1:16:05.280 --> 1:16:08.759 make his living. And at the same time, even though 1:16:09.080 --> 1:16:12.760 he's rapping about certain things that he's seen or possibly 1:16:12.840 --> 1:16:15.720 maybe allegedly done, or you know whatever. 1:16:15.880 --> 1:16:17.600 He's still showing. 1:16:18.800 --> 1:16:23.000 Through that same music his evolution at the same time, like, Yeah, 1:16:23.080 --> 1:16:25.439 this is what goes on, this is what happens, this 1:16:25.520 --> 1:16:28.160 is what I'm talking about.

I'm just gonna redirect my energy 1:22:40.520 --> 1:22:42.800 to the next person that's like, well, maybe God put 1:22:42.840 --> 1:22:44.559 me in your life for me to make a difference 1:22:44.560 --> 1:22:47.600 with you.

I was like that 1:22:51.600 --> 1:22:53.720 when I first started rapping. I was like, I want 1:22:53.760 --> 1:22:56.519 to have the impact Lil Wayne had on my city, 1:22:56.720 --> 1:22:59.240 New Orleans, but just in a positive life. That's what 1:22:59.280 --> 1:23:02.200 I told myself, and I got frustrated when I realized 1:23:03.040 --> 1:23:05.599 the streets respect me. The streets is all like, man, 1:23:05.600 --> 1:23:07.400 we see D one and d want a dog on 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:09.080 the microphone. He could spill with the best of it. 1:23:10.120 --> 1:23:12.800 But they're not receiving my message the way they loving 1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:15.240 with Wayne putting out that loving would do get BG 1:23:15.400 --> 1:23:18.400 putting out there, loving with bird Man, Julie Turk, the 1:23:18.439 --> 1:23:20.320 hot boys putting out there. And it used to get 1:23:20.360 --> 1:23:23.040 to me until I realized, Man, I just gotta redirect 1:23:23.040 --> 1:23:25.080 my focus because they got people over here in some 1:23:25.120 --> 1:23:27.800 different spaces. There's loving what I'm putting out there, and 1:23:27.840 --> 1:23:30.200 I'm Lil Wayne for them. You heard me and I 1:23:30.240 --> 1:23:33.000 had to learn, like, oh, don't get mad at these people. 1:23:33.080 --> 1:23:35.760 Always be here form. But at a certain point my 1:23:36.000 --> 1:23:40.200 energy is now focused on the people, the soil that's fertile. 1:23:40.520 --> 1:23:42.960 If the soil is infertile over here, that means I 1:23:43.040 --> 1:23:45.240 wasn't meant to reach you, but Jane was meant to 1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:47.400 reach you. Scream gonna reach you. You heard me, Like 1:23:47.600 --> 1:23:50.439 God got other soldiers, that's gonna reach you. Bank gonna bank, 1:23:50.520 --> 1:23:52.360 gonna reach you because banked and did some stuff that 1:23:52.400 --> 1:23:54.160 I ain't did. I grew up around it, but Bank 1:23:54.280 --> 1:23:59.200 was probably doing it, so he gonna talk your all right, 1:23:59.520 --> 1:24:03.360 But so I didn't been through that before to well, no, man, 1:24:03.400 --> 1:24:06.200 I don't. I don't be feeling the way if cats 1:24:06.200 --> 1:24:08.280 don't get it. But what I'm not finna do. 1:24:08.320 --> 1:24:10.160 But what I'm saying, you know, you know your passion 1:24:10.200 --> 1:24:12.479 sometimes can get in a way of like that shit 1:24:12.520 --> 1:24:14.800 can bring emotions.

I went on my first tour with 1:31:26.560 --> 1:31:29.679 with Killer Mike and Young Drow. Jason Geter was my manager. 1:31:31.080 --> 1:31:35.479 I had just stopped being a middle school teacher. One 1:31:35.479 --> 1:31:38.880 of my music videos went viral. Jason Gitter started managing me. 1:31:38.920 --> 1:31:41.599 That was a dream come true because I really looked 1:31:41.640 --> 1:31:43.920 up to Ti a lot.

And we've seen each other. A 1:32:17.200 --> 1:32:19.040 couple of weeks before he won his Grammy, I was 1:32:19.080 --> 1:32:22.200 at Stink on his studios doing an interview. Ran into him. 1:32:22.479 --> 1:32:25.320 Me and Killer Might got music together and everything, and 1:32:25.400 --> 1:32:31.360 he was just like, man, I see. He was like, Hey, 1:32:30.800 --> 1:32:33.439 the way you do what you do is different than 1:32:33.520 --> 1:32:35.120 how I do what I do. But at the end 1:32:35.120 --> 1:32:38.560 of the day, we're on the same team. We're doing it, 1:32:38.680 --> 1:32:41.320 you know, were both in this thing to make this 1:32:41.439 --> 1:32:45.680 space better for all of us. And I'm cool with that. 1:32:45.920 --> 1:32:49.040 I'm cool with not doing it the way somebody else 1:32:49.080 --> 1:32:52.080 do it or whatever, because I could reach people that 1:32:52.160 --> 1:32:57.120 somebody else can't reach and it's just not enough. Y'all know. 1:32:57.120 --> 1:32:59.280 I went on the whole tour.

So 1:33:08.240 --> 1:33:10.840 when he won all them Grammars for that song thrift 1:33:10.840 --> 1:33:14.719 Shop and Same Love and Can't Hold Us all them songs, 1:33:14.840 --> 1:33:16.760 I was on tour with him, right. That was right 1:33:16.760 --> 1:33:19.439 after the ground Hustle tour. We did fifty two city 1:33:19.479 --> 1:33:24.120 tour together. It's twenty twelve, and on that tour, this 1:33:24.240 --> 1:33:28.120 is a white suburban audience at every show. I'm a 1:33:28.120 --> 1:33:31.040 black dude from the Ninth Wall East Side of New 1:33:31.080 --> 1:33:34.479 Orleans hereman, I ain't never participated in the street stuff 1:33:34.720 --> 1:33:36.720 but that's all I come up around, so I know 1:33:36.760 --> 1:33:38.720 it very well. And I'm just an urban dude, you 1:33:38.720 --> 1:33:41.160 know what I mean. Every night when the tour started, 1:33:41.160 --> 1:33:43.719 I'm sitting here like, I don't know how much relate 1:33:43.760 --> 1:33:46.479 to these people that's out here to see Macklemore. I 1:33:46.520 --> 1:33:48.439 do not know what songs to do. I'm looking at 1:33:48.439 --> 1:33:52.880 my playlist like what song's gonna reach them. I figured 1:33:52.920 --> 1:33:55.920 out a way on that tour to be a version 1:33:55.960 --> 1:34:00.280 of myself that I knew was gonna appeal to all 1:34:00.360 --> 1:34:03.280 them suburban white fans that was at them shows. And 1:34:03.360 --> 1:34:05.920 after a while, after like two or three shows, I 1:34:06.040 --> 1:34:09.040 figured it out right, And so every night I was 1:34:09.080 --> 1:34:12.120 able to win them over enough to where they was 1:34:12.200 --> 1:34:15.479 rocking with me. And it wasn't until I got home 1:34:15.600 --> 1:34:18.760 back to New Orleans off of that tour that I 1:34:18.880 --> 1:34:23.320 felt empty. My pockets was full of money. I was 1:34:23.360 --> 1:34:28.360 definitely full pl you heard me, But I felt empty 1:34:28.439 --> 1:34:31.160 because I was like, de that wasn't even you in 1:34:31.200 --> 1:34:35.200 front of them crowds every night, you turned into what 1:34:35.360 --> 1:34:38.600 you knew they would like instead of being you and 1:34:38.680 --> 1:34:40.400 being like if you like it, you like it. If 1:34:40.400 --> 1:34:44.240 you don't like it, oh well, And that ain't feel good, Bro, 1:34:44.360 --> 1:34:46.960 when I got home from that tour, that ain't Some 1:34:47.040 --> 1:34:48.639 niggas that shit feel good. Though. 1:34:49.320 --> 1:34:52.280 Some niggas look at that shit as I'm just acting correct. 1:34:52.400 --> 1:34:54.760 We can't see just because you got a passion for news, 1:34:54.880 --> 1:34:57.000 you grew up, you love news. Some niggas looking at 1:34:57.000 --> 1:34:59.080 this shit as a hustle. We gotta look at it 1:34:59.160 --> 1:35:01.320 like that. Frospect it too, because a lot of niggas 1:35:01.320 --> 1:35:02.639 they're like, bro, I'm just in this ship. 1:35:03.400 --> 1:35:06.600 This is what it is. Y get my money and 1:35:06.600 --> 1:35:10.600 get that's and and that's what. That's what allows you 1:35:10.680 --> 1:35:13.599 to be a glorified prostitute because you're easy to toss. 1:35:13.600 --> 1:35:17.040 If your soul could be bought for a coast, you're 1:35:17.080 --> 1:35:20.960 a glorified prostitute at that point.

And I'm 1:40:39.400 --> 1:40:42.280 seeing this meanwhile, I'm putting on streaming platforms A couple 1:40:42.280 --> 1:40:44.720 months later. Yeah, a lot of people streaming it. But 1:40:44.880 --> 1:40:48.040 Apple and Spotify, man, them, people pay us a third 1:40:48.200 --> 1:40:51.360 of one penny, one third of one penny for every 1:40:51.360 --> 1:40:54.080 stream we get. The math ain't mathing. You heard me 1:40:54.400 --> 1:40:57.920 so It's showing me that if I have seen how 1:40:57.920 --> 1:41:02.559 successful I could be building building my own fan base, 1:41:02.640 --> 1:41:05.680 building a real connection by being myself and showing that 1:41:05.720 --> 1:41:07.559 when I give my fans the option, they show up 1:41:07.600 --> 1:41:10.160 like that. I gotta now show other artists how to 1:41:10.240 --> 1:41:12.120 do that, show them how to do that. I just 1:41:12.160 --> 1:41:15.720 put a children's book out. It's an anti bullying children's book. 1:41:15.720 --> 1:41:18.760 It's a hip hop children's book called David Found His Slingshot. 1:41:18.960 --> 1:41:20.360 I used to get bullied a litt bit when I 1:41:20.400 --> 1:41:22.960 was in kindergarten. Right, eventually me and my bully became 1:41:23.040 --> 1:41:26.280 best friends. I talk about it in here, how my 1:41:26.640 --> 1:41:29.920 real name David, about how I Found my Slingshot. Now 1:41:29.960 --> 1:41:33.160 y'all know the story from the Bible of David and Goliad. 1:41:33.640 --> 1:41:37.639 David defeated Golia using a slingshot. So basically, this book 1:41:37.960 --> 1:41:41.839 tells people everybody has a slingshot in life, and everybody 1:41:41.840 --> 1:41:45.320 got glias or like ops, you know, like enemies that 1:41:45.360 --> 1:41:47.640 they that they facing a lot of times. It's not 1:41:47.680 --> 1:41:53.519 even people, it's stuff like racism, oppression, you know, depression, anxiety, poverty. 1:41:54.360 --> 1:41:56.439 The way to defeats your golias is you gotta find 1:41:56.439 --> 1:41:58.679 your sling shot, just like David did in the Bible. 1:41:59.000 --> 1:42:01.559 My sling shot is hip. Man. That's why I'm in 1:42:01.600 --> 1:42:05.640 this game. I see that I'm anointed when I'm in 1:42:05.720 --> 1:42:07.920 this space, whether I'm speaking or rapping, I see that 1:42:08.200 --> 1:42:11.040 I'm using my sling shot to defeat the glias in 1:42:11.080 --> 1:42:13.519 this world. So, whether it's being a rapper and being 1:42:13.520 --> 1:42:16.320 able to write a children's book, being a college professor, 1:42:16.640 --> 1:42:20.360 dropping albums, doing shows, speaking public speaking, I'm trying to 1:42:20.400 --> 1:42:24.599 show people their man peace and positivity is profitable. People 1:42:24.720 --> 1:42:26.719 need to see that because a lot of people don't 1:42:26.720 --> 1:42:30.080 want to rap about this negative stuff, but they feel 1:42:30.080 --> 1:42:32.160 like that's what I gotta do to make And I 1:42:32.200 --> 1:42:34.400 know they feel like that. I done been in the 1:42:34.400 --> 1:42:36.639 studio with them and they're like, Man, you know that's 1:42:36.640 --> 1:42:39.000 what the people want.

Man, 1:43:15.360 --> 1:43:17.280 So when I get in that, I gotta turn into 1:43:17.280 --> 1:43:21.000 that and give people what they want. You're gonna give 1:43:21.000 --> 1:43:24.360 people what they want. They're gonna lead you to hell. 1:43:25.000 --> 1:43:27.720 You give God what he wants, it's gonna lead you 1:43:27.720 --> 1:43:33.200 to heaven. We gotta make a sure.

You don't even believe that. 1:43:39.880 --> 1:43:42.200 I do believe that in some cases God wants you 1:43:42.240 --> 1:43:43.439 to get a people what they want. 1:43:43.520 --> 1:43:47.040 You think God, what I'm saying entertainer, I'm looking from 1:43:47.040 --> 1:43:48.760 an entertainer part of you know what I'm saying, Like, 1:43:49.280 --> 1:43:52.439 God gave you that talent and you don't touch a 1:43:52.439 --> 1:43:53.000 certain crowd. 1:43:53.080 --> 1:43:55.840 Now, now you gotta sprinkle that growth in them. 1:43:56.200 --> 1:43:59.960 You can't just be the Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg got 1:44:00.160 --> 1:44:02.200 sprinkling it until you get out of it. You can't 1:44:02.360 --> 1:44:05.320 just you can't try to leap out this ship. What oh, 1:44:05.320 --> 1:44:07.439 I'm about to really flip the game on you. What 1:44:07.520 --> 1:44:10.240 if God was like, would I'd rather more than what? 1:44:10.600 --> 1:44:12.800 I would really prefer more than any of that is, 1:44:12.840 --> 1:44:16.080 if you wouldn't have started out on that path in 1:44:16.120 --> 1:44:16.759 the first place. 1:44:17.520 --> 1:44:19.080 So we're talking about snooping. 1:44:19.080 --> 1:44:21.400 But why but but but the reality is that they did. 1:44:21.520 --> 1:44:23.120 If he came up in Long Beach and this is 1:44:23.120 --> 1:44:25.599 what he came up in, and this is what he reported, 1:44:25.640 --> 1:44:28.360 that's his reality. He saw the world, and maybe he 1:44:28.479 --> 1:44:30.679 wasn't enlightening. That's what I'm saying. You could be led 1:44:30.680 --> 1:44:33.040 astray or you could be let in the righteousness. 1:44:33.080 --> 1:44:34.960 That's my personal So when it comes to when it 1:44:35.000 --> 1:44:37.800 comes to a man that, uh, this is gonna be 1:44:37.800 --> 1:44:39.920 a tough example because I know you believe in political 1:44:40.000 --> 1:44:42.200 man for sure, you like we all need to be 1:44:42.200 --> 1:44:45.360 out here. I want to believe in it, but I can't. 1:44:46.040 --> 1:44:52.200 All right, you're married, check me out, check me out. 1:44:52.240 --> 1:44:56.040 So there's a good example for all three of y'all. Look, look, 1:44:56.439 --> 1:44:58.439 if you was out there, if you was out there 1:44:58.479 --> 1:45:00.960 cheating on your wife, y'all took to be faithful to 1:45:00.960 --> 1:45:03.519 each other, right, and if you knew that that was wrong, 1:45:04.720 --> 1:45:07.599 and if eventually it was like, Yo, I gotta make 1:45:07.640 --> 1:45:10.680 a change. Is it right to say, like, man, the 1:45:10.680 --> 1:45:13.240 best way to make a change is I gotta stop 1:45:13.360 --> 1:45:16.040 cheating cold turkey. I'm gonna stop cheating all that one. 1:45:16.120 --> 1:45:18.800 Let's say you have five side pieces, I'm dropping all 1:45:18.840 --> 1:45:20.720 five at once, all is it? Like? All right, I'm 1:45:20.720 --> 1:45:23.240 gonna do better. I'm just gonna have four side pieces 1:45:23.680 --> 1:45:24.920 that we're gonna decrease. 1:45:24.680 --> 1:45:26.639 Three now, I'm not tune them holes off our back 1:45:26.720 --> 1:45:30.439 like I need three damn. Get down to that, to 1:45:30.479 --> 1:45:36.160 the ace in the hole, getting down to the getting 1:45:36.160 --> 1:45:40.759 down to the man.

And I just feel like in 1:45:56.560 --> 1:46:00.040 the rap game, we be content with like, Yo, this 1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:02.320 person at as bad as they used to. Can't agree 1:46:02.360 --> 1:46:04.920 with that? What you mean? I can't agree with that? 1:46:05.000 --> 1:46:08.120 You don't think it's confusing to people, because at the 1:46:08.200 --> 1:46:11.559 end of the day, sometimes you glorify people all the time, 1:46:11.680 --> 1:46:12.600 you glorifying Or. 1:46:12.640 --> 1:46:15.000 I could go vegan, I couldn't just go straight vegan, 1:46:15.680 --> 1:46:17.000 you know what I'm saying. I had to cut back 1:46:17.000 --> 1:46:20.599 on red meat first, then no beef, no red meat, 1:46:20.680 --> 1:46:25.719 then no chicken when pencanteary, and then vegetarian, then vegan. 1:46:26.880 --> 1:46:29.719 So I have the moving I have the patient myself. 1:46:29.760 --> 1:46:32.080 And you know what, it ain't as I'm sitting here 1:46:32.080 --> 1:46:34.920 talking because none of this ain't scripted in real time. 1:46:35.000 --> 1:46:38.960 It ain't none of our job to let me think 1:46:39.000 --> 1:46:39.240 about it. 1:46:39.240 --> 1:46:44.200 If I want to say, yeah, I gotta graduate to ship, 1:46:44.320 --> 1:46:44.720 I don't know. 1:46:44.800 --> 1:46:46.519 That's just respect the journey. 1:46:46.720 --> 1:46:48.840 Yeah, I got it on the journey because I don't 1:46:48.880 --> 1:46:51.080 know if the vegon shit gonna make me sick or not, 1:46:51.160 --> 1:46:52.720 even though it's the best choice for me. 1:46:52.800 --> 1:46:55.120 But so, so I think I just figured something about 1:46:55.800 --> 1:46:58.479 your crack the code. I think so we gotta respect 1:46:58.479 --> 1:47:02.400 everybody journey. I totally agree with that. Here's where I 1:47:02.479 --> 1:47:09.560 might feel different than y'all when other people, masses of people, thousands, 1:47:09.600 --> 1:47:12.360 maybe even millions of people are a part of your 1:47:12.439 --> 1:47:16.280 journey because you are a public figure. At that point, 1:47:16.439 --> 1:47:19.360 I feel like we got to apply to principle to 1:47:19.439 --> 1:47:22.000 whom much is given, much is required. So maybe a 1:47:22.040 --> 1:47:24.000 dude that's like, hey, the only people being affected by 1:47:24.080 --> 1:47:26.160 my journey with my weight, I'm trying to lose some weight. 1:47:26.280 --> 1:47:28.320 The only person being affected by my journey is me. 1:47:28.720 --> 1:47:31.920 So I'm gonna go, you know, read me to okay, 1:47:32.000 --> 1:47:35.280 no pull okay, one step at a time. Eventually, at 1:47:35.280 --> 1:47:36.800 the end of the day, I get what you're saying. 1:47:36.800 --> 1:47:38.240 But at the end of the day, it's just like 1:47:38.280 --> 1:47:41.040 you just said Jesus earlier, right Niga, when the chain 1:47:41.280 --> 1:47:45.240 listened to that, Jesus sending a note and you a 1:47:45.320 --> 1:47:47.559 nigga didn't never nigga got money, went on. 1:47:48.000 --> 1:47:51.320 It's gonna be casualties to this ship. You know what 1:47:51.320 --> 1:47:53.120 I'm saying. It's fucking up to say, but it is 1:47:53.680 --> 1:47:54.920 on your journey, That's what it is. 1:47:54.960 --> 1:47:56.679 Because it's a tough reality. 1:47:58.320 --> 1:48:03.240 It's a tougher I know some of them think about 1:48:03.280 --> 1:48:04.080 let's think about that. 1:48:04.160 --> 1:48:06.720 Don't sit well with me though, but let's come with this. 1:48:07.280 --> 1:48:07.800 It's life. 1:48:07.880 --> 1:48:10.200 Life wouldn't be life, And if you're perfect, gonna come 1:48:10.240 --> 1:48:12.280 with some casual just think life. 1:48:12.120 --> 1:48:14.200 Wouldn't be life and that this ship with perfect. 1:48:15.040 --> 1:48:20.839 Just think about war, just the World War and reflect 1:48:20.880 --> 1:48:22.120 on it. 1:48:22.000 --> 1:48:22.679 It happened. 1:48:23.120 --> 1:48:23.519 Mm hmm. 1:48:23.960 --> 1:48:26.720 There's some good come from war. On the back end. 1:48:26.760 --> 1:48:31.360 There's some people here and sometimes yeah, okay, sometimes they do, 1:48:32.280 --> 1:48:35.040 but it's it's a it's not something that I've accepted 1:48:35.080 --> 1:48:38.519 as this is how it has to be. But the 1:48:38.560 --> 1:48:41.759 reality is, this is how it is. That's what you're saying. 1:48:42.120 --> 1:48:45.360 So since we're at war right now inside of hip hop, 1:48:45.439 --> 1:48:49.400 were at war, man, we definitely at war. I'm just 1:48:49.400 --> 1:49:00.640 telling people pick a side. What you trying to hit 1:49:00.720 --> 1:49:02.519 them to? Come over him? Know what you're trying to do. 1:49:04.640 --> 1:49:06.840 It's a lot of people. You're right, some people get 1:49:06.920 --> 1:49:10.559 this side. And I realized that more people haven't picked 1:49:10.560 --> 1:49:13.519 the side. There's more people that feel like it's normal 1:49:13.600 --> 1:49:15.599 to be on both sides of the war. Let's cry 1:49:15.600 --> 1:49:18.280 when Nipsey Hustle get killed. Let's cry no beatter example, 1:49:18.439 --> 1:49:21.080 let's cry when young Dolgs get killed. But when he's 1:49:21.080 --> 1:49:24.679 alive and he's rapping about or involved in street beefs, 1:49:25.000 --> 1:49:27.200 we we're not opposed to it. We're not trying to 1:49:27.439 --> 1:49:30.400 advocate to get that stuff to stop. We're a record label. 1:49:30.439 --> 1:49:33.000 We're eating off of these beefs that he got, so 1:49:33.040 --> 1:49:34.840 we ain't trying to get him to stop that stuff. 1:49:34.840 --> 1:49:37.280 We ain't trying to intervene between him and whoever. His 1:49:37.360 --> 1:49:40.599 ops is like we letting that egg on, but then 1:49:40.680 --> 1:49:41.439 when he died. 1:49:41.400 --> 1:49:44.959 It is a touchy space entertainment. 1:49:45.040 --> 1:49:48.080 To me, though, maybe I say that. 1:49:48.000 --> 1:49:50.600 To you because you're strong, you're strong minded, you have 1:49:50.840 --> 1:49:53.560 strong you're strong minded.

That's what I said. Yeah, not 1:50:05.000 --> 1:50:07.400 not the rap, but but that's gonna get you on 1:50:07.479 --> 1:50:09.400 to be No, you can do two things at once. 1:50:09.479 --> 1:50:10.920 This is not about beef.

Think you? 1:50:44.479 --> 1:50:46.840 Because once one nigga get away playing with you, that's 1:50:46.840 --> 1:50:50.480 when they you got a whole goddamn fuck bank campaign 1:50:50.600 --> 1:50:51.080 going on. 1:50:52.280 --> 1:50:52.639 Gotcha? 1:50:53.080 --> 1:50:56.720 Well, uh the part damn you had said something that 1:50:56.760 --> 1:51:02.040 I was like, yeah, war, No, it was after war. Oh, 1:51:02.080 --> 1:51:04.960 people picking the side, all right, people picking the side. 1:51:05.080 --> 1:51:07.400 I think that more people have not picked the side 1:51:07.479 --> 1:51:12.000 because it's become normalized for us to just be lukewarm. 1:51:12.560 --> 1:51:14.639 And lukewarm is like I ain't all the way on 1:51:14.640 --> 1:51:16.559 this side or all the way on that side. I 1:51:16.600 --> 1:51:18.479 just kind of want to exist in the middle. And 1:51:18.560 --> 1:51:20.520 I know that we were not called to be lukewarm 1:51:20.600 --> 1:51:22.960 like that, but because that's the normal state of things 1:51:23.520 --> 1:51:27.760 all I'm really neutral, Yeah, neutral, neutral with stuff. My 1:51:27.840 --> 1:51:31.880 thing is like, at a certain point, reality gonna hit 1:51:31.920 --> 1:51:35.000 home for everybody to where you either on the receiving 1:51:35.160 --> 1:51:38.080 end of the negative side of this stuff, or you 1:51:38.200 --> 1:51:40.240 close to somebody who was on the receiving end of 1:51:40.240 --> 1:51:43.600 that negative side of stuff, and at that point that 1:51:43.760 --> 1:51:48.759 should be our wake up call, our light bulb moment 1:51:48.840 --> 1:51:52.639 to say, man, hold on, man, it's a different way 1:51:52.640 --> 1:51:54.719 that we could go about this. It ain't about canceling 1:51:54.800 --> 1:51:57.439 certain people. It ain't about saying I can't listen to 1:51:57.520 --> 1:51:59.840 hip hop at all. But it's a healthier way that 1:51:59.880 --> 1:52:02.559 we could create it and consume it. There's gonna be 1:52:02.560 --> 1:52:04.639 better for everybody in the long run. And we gotta 1:52:04.720 --> 1:52:09.680 have difficult conversations. What we have right now is difficult conversations, yo. 1:52:10.360 --> 1:52:13.560 And these difficult conversations get people. Man, it's gonna be 1:52:13.600 --> 1:52:15.720 people blessed by this. Man, I don't know. You know, 1:52:15.880 --> 1:52:18.080 you know how the internet is. If it ain't no controversy, 1:52:18.240 --> 1:52:19.960 it might not do the numbers did it do. If 1:52:20.000 --> 1:52:22.040 it's like, oh, that ball went on there and just 1:52:22.200 --> 1:52:24.519 when guns blazing, you know, calling this out and da 1:52:24.600 --> 1:52:27.160 da da. But the people that's gonna watch this stuff, man, 1:52:27.240 --> 1:52:29.080 this is the type of count vo that it's like 1:52:29.400 --> 1:52:32.960 the world need more of you, feel me, and that 1:52:33.080 --> 1:52:35.000 is how we ultimately grow. Because I don't believe that 1:52:35.080 --> 1:52:38.599 none of these people are evil. So anybody who's name 1:52:38.720 --> 1:52:40.920 I ever said, I would love to sit down with 1:52:40.960 --> 1:52:43.000 them now if they're like now, I don't want to 1:52:43.000 --> 1:52:44.600 sit down with you because you said my name. You 1:52:44.640 --> 1:52:45.920 might have made me look bad on in there. I 1:52:45.960 --> 1:52:48.760 don't want to sit down. All good, brother, I ain't 1:52:48.800 --> 1:52:52.719 tripping on that either. But ultimately, you wasn't just gonna 1:52:52.720 --> 1:52:53.719 respond if I sent. 1:52:53.560 --> 1:52:55.360 You a DM you ever seen somebody's name of you 1:52:55.400 --> 1:52:57.240 feel like I said that in the wrong context. 1:52:57.479 --> 1:53:02.439 Oh, that's a that's a great question, in the wrong context, 1:53:02.880 --> 1:53:04.800 like after you look back in like, yeah, I should 1:53:04.840 --> 1:53:09.559 have said it like that. So when were talking about 1:53:09.560 --> 1:53:11.360 a few months ago, me being on Sway in the 1:53:11.360 --> 1:53:15.920 Morning and I mentioned Meek Mail, Rick Ross and Jim 1:53:16.000 --> 1:53:20.840 Jones name, I say it in a passionate way, and 1:53:20.920 --> 1:53:24.200 I said, I simply said, like, Yo, come on, brothers, 1:53:24.240 --> 1:53:26.720 I love y'all too much to not be honest with y'all, dude, Like, 1:53:26.800 --> 1:53:28.840 y'all could do better, man, y'all could do better than this, 1:53:29.040 --> 1:53:32.559 like the messages that's being glorified in this music, Like, 1:53:32.560 --> 1:53:37.000 come on, we could do better than this. Yo. I'm 1:53:37.000 --> 1:53:39.040 gonna tell you this I don't think I said it 1:53:39.080 --> 1:53:41.240 in the wrong way. Right now, guess what's happening right 1:53:41.280 --> 1:53:44.960 now if you open your phone, DJ Academics is going 1:53:45.040 --> 1:53:48.679 at it with who meet Mill? And guess what. DJ 1:53:48.800 --> 1:53:51.759 Academics is basically saying the same stuff that I said 1:53:51.800 --> 1:53:55.160 to Meek Mill, going about it in a way that's 1:53:55.240 --> 1:53:59.560 like Act, like, Dog, you you really want smoked with me? 1:54:00.000 --> 1:54:01.360 You know what I'm saying. I don't want no smoke 1:54:01.400 --> 1:54:03.360 with me. I look at me as a brother. Every 1:54:03.400 --> 1:54:05.519 time I go play basketball, I wear his shoes, his 1:54:05.600 --> 1:54:08.640 Pulma shoes, and I gave out thirteen hundred pair of 1:54:08.640 --> 1:54:11.000 his shoes in my hood in New Orleans to bless 1:54:11.040 --> 1:54:13.679 people because I think that's fire. The prison reform stuff, 1:54:13.880 --> 1:54:16.360 I simply was approaching it like dog, I think it's 1:54:16.360 --> 1:54:18.920 confusing the people when they see that you're on this, 1:54:19.040 --> 1:54:21.360 but then you on something different. Right now, Act is 1:54:21.400 --> 1:54:24.400 saying the same thing, but the way he's saying it's like, 1:54:24.680 --> 1:54:26.479 do you really want to smoke with this man? Like 1:54:26.520 --> 1:54:28.880 you're trying to make him look like a clown, and 1:54:29.160 --> 1:54:31.920 like then, So the way I be going about stuff, 1:54:31.920 --> 1:54:34.120 I do know that I get passionate when I say stuff, 1:54:34.160 --> 1:54:37.640 and sometimes just that passion could make somebody say oh word, 1:54:37.800 --> 1:54:40.800 or you like you got that type of energy, or 1:54:41.400 --> 1:54:44.280 it seemed like nobody took it as disrespect. It seemed 1:54:44.320 --> 1:54:46.600 like the only people that responded shout out to me 1:54:46.720 --> 1:54:48.760 because me Can responded it and kept a hundred. He 1:54:48.880 --> 1:54:51.240 was like, I ain't gonna lie, brother. We do all this. 1:54:51.400 --> 1:54:54.600 We do the positive stuff, and we do the street stuff. 1:54:54.680 --> 1:54:57.080 He said that in his Instagram reply. He wrote it 1:54:57.080 --> 1:54:59.320 as a message for the public to see, put it 1:54:59.360 --> 1:55:02.080 on his story. I respected him being honest and just 1:55:02.120 --> 1:55:04.960 like I could call something out. I also supported me 1:55:05.280 --> 1:55:07.240 when he helped to get that uh that bill passed 1:55:07.280 --> 1:55:09.680 in Pennsylvania a couple weeks ag when I posted that 1:55:09.800 --> 1:55:11.920 if I'm gonna be public about saying you could do better, 1:55:12.040 --> 1:55:14.400 I gotta be public about sharing you on too, right. 1:55:14.840 --> 1:55:18.080 I was public about saluting Ross when he said, big 1:55:18.160 --> 1:55:20.360 joke just got killed. Come on, Memphis, let's put the 1:55:20.400 --> 1:55:22.640 guns down, Come on, Memphis, we could do better. I 1:55:22.680 --> 1:55:24.800 saluted Ross and went on Instagram and did a whole 1:55:24.840 --> 1:55:27.400 post about that. Not that many blogs picked that one 1:55:27.480 --> 1:55:29.880 up though, or they don't pick it up when it's like, oh, 1:55:29.920 --> 1:55:32.480 he showing love to them now. Jim Jones, Me and 1:55:32.600 --> 1:55:34.840 Jim Jones didn't text each other at this point. We 1:55:34.880 --> 1:55:37.200 ain't met in person yet. I was in Harlem yesterday. 1:55:37.200 --> 1:55:38.440 I would have loved to have met with him, you 1:55:38.440 --> 1:55:41.240 know what I mean? Like, So, no, to answer your question, 1:55:41.320 --> 1:55:43.640 that's a long way of saying, I don't think I 1:55:43.760 --> 1:55:46.680 just becoming at people sideways on some stuff. Do I 1:55:46.680 --> 1:55:50.160 think Ross came in me sideways in terms of his response, yeah, 1:55:50.760 --> 1:55:54.040 because he didn't even respond to what I actually brought up. 1:55:54.280 --> 1:55:55.960 He just went through, I'm just about to make fun 1:55:56.000 --> 1:55:57.920 of you and call you lil man and say you 1:55:57.960 --> 1:56:00.120 look like a fake roster and who are you you're 1:56:00.160 --> 1:56:01.880 trying to make You're trying to go viral on other 1:56:01.920 --> 1:56:04.360 people names. I think that was wrong. 1:56:05.440 --> 1:56:07.440 So can I ask you a question, like about the 1:56:07.480 --> 1:56:09.040 whole Meek situation or whatever? 1:56:09.680 --> 1:56:16.920 So how do you feel about when basically he was 1:56:16.960 --> 1:56:20.120 saying like you said, he was saying basically the same 1:56:20.160 --> 1:56:22.720 thing that you're saying, but it took like a personal 1:56:22.720 --> 1:56:23.480 connotation or. 1:56:23.480 --> 1:56:26.280 Whatever because he started talking about other stuff. 1:56:26.440 --> 1:56:30.680 But when he started saying, okay, Meek is supposed to 1:56:30.680 --> 1:56:34.320 be positive, he's doing street stuff, so now I'm going 1:56:34.400 --> 1:56:36.920 to get the reform. I'm going to try my hardest 1:56:37.200 --> 1:56:39.240 to turn him into the governor and get the reform 1:56:39.320 --> 1:56:41.080 thing canceled. How do you feel about that? 1:56:41.160 --> 1:56:44.320 I don't agree with that. I think, academics, that shows 1:56:44.360 --> 1:56:47.200 me that you don't really have love for Meek Meal 1:56:47.880 --> 1:56:50.400 at the core of who you are, Academics, Like, you're 1:56:50.440 --> 1:56:52.120 looking at meet Meal as an hop like you want 1:56:52.120 --> 1:56:54.320 to get him in trouble. You want to get him canceled. 1:56:54.360 --> 1:56:57.040 You want him to lose a partnership that he has 1:56:57.240 --> 1:57:00.200 in his state to where he's doing great things. Don't 1:57:00.200 --> 1:57:02.320 want me to lose nothing when it comes to that. 1:57:02.440 --> 1:57:05.320 I want to celebrate that side of him even more 1:57:05.480 --> 1:57:07.440 and get him to lean into that type of side. 1:57:09.840 --> 1:57:12.680 That's a difference. Yeah, I just these people are not 1:57:12.800 --> 1:57:15.600 my apps, Like, they're not my opps at all. It's 1:57:15.680 --> 1:57:19.880 just like, man, but I feel it will be two sides. 1:57:19.920 --> 1:57:22.480 It's like, come on, man, Like, if it's two sides, 1:57:23.320 --> 1:57:26.440 I'm saying, it's better for all of us to have 1:57:26.560 --> 1:57:28.400 you lean into the good side. 1:57:29.040 --> 1:57:30.000 Yeah, That's what I'm saying. 1:57:30.360 --> 1:57:33.120 Like, I just feel like when it comes to that 1:57:33.200 --> 1:57:37.400 particular situation, when it goes left to the point of 1:57:37.440 --> 1:57:42.720 view saying that you're you're trying to get a movement 1:57:42.760 --> 1:57:45.040 shut down that's doing so much good and helping so 1:57:45.120 --> 1:57:49.760 many people, and you're trying to get him in trouble 1:57:50.280 --> 1:57:54.120 with these same people that are out them. Yeah, not you, 1:57:54.640 --> 1:57:58.680 But when you say that, you're trying to, like I said, 1:57:59.360 --> 1:58:02.000 get the movie and shut down that in turn is 1:58:02.000 --> 1:58:04.240 doing so much good and helping so many people, and 1:58:04.280 --> 1:58:07.280 get him in trouble with these people and these political 1:58:07.320 --> 1:58:10.320 figures that are helping him change the laws and helping 1:58:10.360 --> 1:58:12.800 him like make a better way for the people. I 1:58:12.840 --> 1:58:17.520 feel like that should remove your ability to speak on. 1:58:19.200 --> 1:58:21.520 Whether or not what you. 1:58:21.520 --> 1:58:25.880 Feel like he's doing is right or wrong. I mean, okay, 1:58:27.160 --> 1:58:29.640 I'm spinning it out. I'm saying, like, when the shit 1:58:29.720 --> 1:58:33.840 turns personal and when you start trying to like basically 1:58:34.240 --> 1:58:38.720 set up a nigga's downfall, then your conversation is invalid 1:58:38.760 --> 1:58:42.680 at that point because if you're saying, Okay, he shouldn't 1:58:42.680 --> 1:58:45.440 be doing both because he's trying to do something positive. Okay, 1:58:45.600 --> 1:58:47.880 leave it at that, But don't say, Okay, now I'm 1:58:47.880 --> 1:58:50.720 finna attack this nigga and try to goddamn stop all 1:58:50.760 --> 1:58:53.040 this good shit that he's doing because I feel a 1:58:53.080 --> 1:58:55.520 personal way about him, and now I'm about to try 1:58:55.520 --> 1:58:58.000 to go after everything that he has going on. Your 1:58:58.040 --> 1:59:02.000 conversation means nothing at that point because it's some personal 1:59:02.040 --> 1:59:04.520 shit and not from an objective point of view. 1:59:04.840 --> 1:59:07.600 And then you go agree, I agree with you. We're 1:59:07.640 --> 1:59:10.440 on the same page, and people gonna look at what 1:59:10.520 --> 1:59:13.480 kind of fruit your tree produces. So it's like, Academics, 1:59:13.520 --> 1:59:16.080 outside of criticize and Meek, what do you stand for? 1:59:16.200 --> 1:59:19.240 My dog? Like, what do you be pushing? But unfortunately 1:59:19.280 --> 1:59:21.320 Academics is known as a dude to be egging on 1:59:21.360 --> 1:59:23.720 some of the beefs and rap and be trying to 1:59:23.760 --> 1:59:28.080 like push people to the toxic behavior, and he covers 1:59:28.120 --> 1:59:30.240 that stuff in the way that he has a reputation 1:59:30.360 --> 1:59:32.920 for that. So it don't seem like act dog you 1:59:33.080 --> 1:59:36.160 always on some on this type of time. It seemed like, ah, 1:59:36.200 --> 1:59:39.560 you got a personal issue with Meek right now, But 1:59:39.680 --> 1:59:42.760 outside of this, boy, you be perpetuating the negativity too, 1:59:42.840 --> 1:59:45.760 and act. With that being said, my brother, you can 1:59:45.800 --> 1:59:48.840 do better as well, DJ Academics. You could do better, bro, 1:59:48.880 --> 1:59:50.560 if you really on that type of time where you're 1:59:50.600 --> 1:59:53.840 saying Meek Mill being on both sides bothers you, then 1:59:53.880 --> 1:59:56.400 you have to show that you are on both sides 1:59:56.480 --> 1:59:59.360 on a regular basis. You gotta show that when people 1:59:59.400 --> 2:00:01.240 look at what d you want been represented for the 2:00:01.280 --> 2:00:04.480 last fifteen years since I put my first album out 2:00:04.480 --> 2:00:07.640 in two thousand and eight, it's the same thing that 2:00:07.760 --> 2:00:11.680 I'm on. Now. That's something I'm proud of. Bro. This 2:00:11.800 --> 2:00:15.040 ain't no man right now, it's just convenient to call 2:00:15.080 --> 2:00:16.720 this out. I think this is gonna give me some 2:00:16.800 --> 2:00:18.760 interviewers and give me on big fast. Man. I've been 2:00:18.800 --> 2:00:20.760 the same way. Man. I don't know how to not 2:00:20.840 --> 2:00:22.520 be this way. That's how much I've been like this. 2:00:22.880 --> 2:00:24.520 I don't know how to now be this way. 2:00:24.800 --> 2:00:27.440 I just feel like, if you're gonna advocate for one 2:00:27.480 --> 2:00:30.400 thing and try to call other people. 2:00:30.080 --> 2:00:32.120 Out on their flaws. 2:00:33.080 --> 2:00:36.600 In contrast to that one thing, you shouldn't have any 2:00:36.600 --> 2:00:37.200 flaws either. 2:00:38.600 --> 2:00:42.600 So okay, the part I disagree with is you shouldn't 2:00:42.600 --> 2:00:45.760 have any Everybody gonna know what I'm saying is if 2:00:45.920 --> 2:00:47.720 you're a hypocrite, if you're trying. 2:00:47.480 --> 2:00:51.320 To he's saying he bases, well, I'm gonna speak for him, 2:00:51.360 --> 2:00:53.920 but I think what he's saying is, I'm listening like 2:00:55.120 --> 2:00:56.480 he ain't got no flaws. 2:00:56.600 --> 2:01:00.000 His flaws only harm him, they don't harm other people. 2:01:00.360 --> 2:01:04.240 Y'all boat right? Well, Banks saying is right, But no, Jed, 2:01:04.320 --> 2:01:07.680 what you're saying is right because you're implying, Yo, it's 2:01:07.800 --> 2:01:10.720 very easy to see, like academics, boy, you don't be 2:01:10.720 --> 2:01:13.080 standing for no positive stuff, like outside of all of 2:01:13.120 --> 2:01:14.960 a sudden you want to give me canceled because you're 2:01:15.000 --> 2:01:18.920 so appalled by what he threatened you online. But but 2:01:19.160 --> 2:01:21.840 outside of this, you don't be on no positive righteous 2:01:21.840 --> 2:01:24.160 stuff at all. And you're saying that's hipocritical. 2:01:24.200 --> 2:01:26.320 Act I agree. 2:01:26.120 --> 2:01:30.120 With you, understand. Oh no, I like you're talking about him. No, no, no, no, 2:01:30.600 --> 2:01:32.640 that's why it seems like you're talking about me. I 2:01:32.720 --> 2:01:34.600 want to keep saying for the cameras you're talking about 2:01:34.600 --> 2:01:37.640 act right, because I don't. I don't have smoke with 2:01:37.680 --> 2:01:41.040 these people. The difference is, I gotta I gotta tell 2:01:41.080 --> 2:01:43.840 you all this. There's two types of love. Right, Who 2:01:43.880 --> 2:01:47.280 got kids here? I don't have kids yet, kids I 2:01:47.280 --> 2:01:49.640 got got kids, got kids kids here? I'm the only 2:01:49.720 --> 2:01:51.360 one with nothing. All right, Look like I need to 2:01:51.360 --> 2:01:54.680 make some babies. All right. That being said, I'm just playing. 2:01:54.720 --> 2:01:58.160 I gotta get married first. Check this out. We got 2:02:01.560 --> 2:02:08.880 we can take it that if you want, bro, and 2:02:09.200 --> 2:02:13.000 it makes sense. Bet all right, let me get to 2:02:13.040 --> 2:02:16.640 my point. Go ahead, I'm gonna get back on you. Man, 2:02:17.680 --> 2:02:19.560 crisis here looking for what the rest of the christis? 2:02:19.680 --> 2:02:32.080 Let him piss right, quicken this important point? Yeah, what 2:02:32.320 --> 2:02:33.920 about to say? We're talking about. 2:02:34.200 --> 2:02:36.960 Having kids and did the Bible tag you to wait 2:02:37.000 --> 2:02:37.680 to marriage? 2:02:38.040 --> 2:02:39.120 Yeah? Before kids? 2:02:39.160 --> 2:02:45.440 Though, we were talking about the hypocrisy in certain situations. 2:02:44.000 --> 2:02:48.400 The hypocrisy in certain situations, so like the pot calling 2:02:48.440 --> 2:02:51.240 the kettle black, basically basically all right, and I was 2:02:51.280 --> 2:02:55.040 talking about yeah, oh there we go, I got it. Yeah, 2:02:55.080 --> 2:02:59.040 all right. There's two types of love, right. There's something 2:02:59.080 --> 2:03:06.200 called affirmative something called transformative love. Affirmative love is because 2:03:06.240 --> 2:03:09.880 I genuinely love you, Jade. I'm looking for anything positive 2:03:10.120 --> 2:03:12.520 that I can say about you exactly. Your hair is 2:03:12.600 --> 2:03:15.240 so fire. I'm loving them braves, I'm loving these kicks. 2:03:15.280 --> 2:03:17.480 I'm loving the Nike sids. You hear me, I'm loving 2:03:17.680 --> 2:03:21.080 the nails. I'm affirming you. Right, that's one type of love. 2:03:21.320 --> 2:03:25.640 But transformative love scream is when you say I love 2:03:25.680 --> 2:03:28.240 you to the point where I'm gonna affirm you when 2:03:28.280 --> 2:03:30.440 it's time to you a beast on the ones and 2:03:30.480 --> 2:03:34.200 tools like you you that give you compliments. But because 2:03:34.240 --> 2:03:37.920 I'm practicing transformative love, I'm also going to love you 2:03:38.080 --> 2:03:41.120 enough to tell you when you could do better, because 2:03:41.160 --> 2:03:43.240 I want to see you be the best version of yourself. Yeah, 2:03:43.720 --> 2:03:48.040 I'm practicing transformative love inside this culture. But because of 2:03:48.120 --> 2:03:52.320 egos sometimes and just because of a culture that don't 2:03:52.360 --> 2:03:56.280 take well to anybody saying anything about anything, they feel like, 2:03:56.320 --> 2:03:58.560 oh you said something about this person, or you said 2:03:58.600 --> 2:04:01.800 something about this topic, you must got smoke with them. 2:04:02.400 --> 2:04:05.080 People wanted to become that. Then you got people like 2:04:05.080 --> 2:04:07.840 the academics and meet mail thing that come along, and 2:04:07.880 --> 2:04:11.640 you clearly see act that's not transformative love. That you 2:04:11.720 --> 2:04:14.320 practicing with meet mail right now now, You not truly 2:04:14.320 --> 2:04:17.440 trying to see meat get better. You got issues with me, 2:04:17.760 --> 2:04:20.879 you know what I'm saying and that and that feels different. 2:04:21.120 --> 2:04:23.640 So for me, I'm like, I'm not coming in with 2:04:23.880 --> 2:04:26.040 none of that type of energy. Listen, at the end 2:04:26.080 --> 2:04:27.360 of the day, I don't know if y'all know this 2:04:27.480 --> 2:04:31.080 or not, but people stop taking you as serious. When 2:04:31.080 --> 2:04:34.440 they see, man, you standing on this one day, but 2:04:34.440 --> 2:04:36.080 then the next day you standing on that. You ain't 2:04:36.120 --> 2:04:38.360 standing on no business at all. Because one day you 2:04:38.400 --> 2:04:40.120 standing on this business, the next day you stand on 2:04:40.160 --> 2:04:40.640 that business. 2:04:40.760 --> 2:04:44.600 Now that's when they contradict no, no, not saying listen 2:04:44.920 --> 2:04:45.920 and it's addiction. 2:04:46.080 --> 2:04:47.480 That's when it comes to be like you want to 2:04:47.480 --> 2:04:50.840 see things get better, but you intentionally making ops. What 2:04:51.040 --> 2:04:53.560 Charleston is doing at this point, I have seen it 2:04:53.600 --> 2:04:57.360 cross that line to where you going out here doing things. 2:04:57.640 --> 2:05:00.840 I'm seeing you at your comedy show throw a chairs 2:05:01.080 --> 2:05:03.080 at a do it in the crowd, getting into it. 2:05:03.120 --> 2:05:06.560 When he came in like fuck these nigga though, so 2:05:06.600 --> 2:05:08.680 that ain't cut. They come in and came in like 2:05:08.760 --> 2:05:10.800 fuck these niggas. If you come in like that, then 2:05:10.840 --> 2:05:12.840 that implies that you don't love them. And if you 2:05:12.880 --> 2:05:15.280 don't love me, then I ain't even trying to hear nothing. 2:05:15.320 --> 2:05:17.440 You got to see. That's a difference. 2:05:17.440 --> 2:05:21.520 But the thing is, okay, if that's the case, if 2:05:21.520 --> 2:05:22.560 you're not trying to hear what he. 2:05:22.560 --> 2:05:25.920 Has, why they don't love nobody. I don't want nobody 2:05:26.040 --> 2:05:28.160 leading our community. If they don't love no if they 2:05:28.280 --> 2:05:30.120 might have comeing in this but but you got much. 2:05:30.160 --> 2:05:32.920 But but we see, see that's just what you see. 2:05:32.960 --> 2:05:35.600 You don't see the niggas still be posting on out 2:05:35.640 --> 2:05:37.480 here in such so folks showing me love. 2:05:37.520 --> 2:05:40.040 He folks, he's showing the love he getting and given 2:05:41.680 --> 2:05:44.120 every time.

I'm over here on Bankhead, king 2:05:56.680 --> 2:05:58.440 with these nigga, regular nigga. 2:05:59.720 --> 2:05:59.920 Right. 2:06:00.920 --> 2:06:04.600 You just said something, bro that it's like just because 2:06:04.640 --> 2:06:06.880 we get in love for something, don't mean that what 2:06:06.920 --> 2:06:07.600 we're doing is right. 2:06:09.240 --> 2:06:09.560 Brother. 2:06:09.680 --> 2:06:13.360 But the story of Jesus he walked amongst the thugs 2:06:13.400 --> 2:06:15.160 and the peasants, and what he. 2:06:15.160 --> 2:06:17.760 Didn't do when he walked amongst the thugs and the peasants, 2:06:17.760 --> 2:06:21.040 my good brother, is he didn't become so much like 2:06:21.160 --> 2:06:26.560 them that they would have photos remixed. You got people. 2:06:27.080 --> 2:06:29.800 He didn't become so much like them that they have 2:06:29.960 --> 2:06:31.920 more of an impact on him than he did on them. 2:06:31.960 --> 2:06:34.040 I'm gonna tell you what Jesus went. When he left there, 2:06:34.320 --> 2:06:35.560 the people were more like. 2:06:35.560 --> 2:06:43.560 Dang, they went on and hung you up. But you 2:06:43.560 --> 2:06:45.600 you really ain't about that, a nigga. 2:06:45.640 --> 2:06:49.120 You gotta meet these niggas where they act really about 2:06:49.120 --> 2:06:51.440 what I'm just saying, a nigga, that's how them folks 2:06:51.440 --> 2:06:54.560 felt funk all that hang him up? And that's what. 2:06:54.880 --> 2:06:57.680 Oh, so you believe that I'm saying whatever they say heaven, 2:06:59.000 --> 2:07:00.680 I don't know say that about Do you believe that? 2:07:00.760 --> 2:07:03.400 Yes? Okay, so you believe the Bible? You believe that. 2:07:03.440 --> 2:07:05.360 I'm asking you right now, I don't know what happened. 2:07:05.400 --> 2:07:07.720 You usually as an example, so you can't use something 2:07:07.760 --> 2:07:09.800 as example, but be like, but I don't even know 2:07:09.840 --> 2:07:12.360 about you believe that. I believe that. That's all it 2:07:12.400 --> 2:07:14.480 takes to be a Christian is to believe that that happened, 2:07:14.520 --> 2:07:17.120 and to believe that God created Jesus sent them here 2:07:17.320 --> 2:07:18.920 so that that can happen. That's I don't believe that 2:07:18.920 --> 2:07:22.240 Mary got Britain on a version. I don't believe that. 2:07:22.360 --> 2:07:25.800 Why not just because you ain't lie? Man, I don't 2:07:25.800 --> 2:07:27.640 believe that. You don't believe that. I don't believe it. 2:07:27.720 --> 2:07:32.200 But how is that scientifically possible. It's not that the 2:07:32.240 --> 2:07:36.120 baby never happened. Again, it's not. 2:07:37.160 --> 2:07:40.440 So you're thinking about wife right now by another nigga, 2:07:40.880 --> 2:07:42.480 and she don't want me to find out, she. 2:07:42.440 --> 2:07:44.760 Would say, she in the heir. Jesus, we almost have 2:07:45.080 --> 2:07:48.760 hold on, we almost there. Listen almost about it. Go 2:07:48.800 --> 2:07:52.000 to her grade. Listen, listen, listen, we all have milk 2:07:52.040 --> 2:07:56.080 man back. Then, what is you talking about? What did 2:07:56.120 --> 2:07:58.600 they have milkman back? Then? You're asking me like I 2:07:58.640 --> 2:07:59.120 was alive? 2:07:59.480 --> 2:08:02.000 I say, because that could have been. 2:08:02.800 --> 2:08:04.720 How do you get back to that? Let's start while 2:08:04.760 --> 2:08:07.480 we got back to that. Hold the part about a 2:08:07.600 --> 2:08:11.400 virgin being able to have a child exactly. It proves 2:08:11.680 --> 2:08:14.680 that this child and this whole way that this baby 2:08:14.720 --> 2:08:17.240 came about was not of this world, because if it's 2:08:17.400 --> 2:08:20.120 this world, a dude would have had to get her pregnant. 2:08:20.160 --> 2:08:24.880 So basically her back not an alien, a gone, a 2:08:25.000 --> 2:08:27.760 divine being. So you believe that. 2:08:28.760 --> 2:08:32.600 But but a divine being isn't human though, right, a 2:08:32.680 --> 2:08:36.240 divine being came down here in human form. 2:08:36.440 --> 2:08:37.960 Come on, now, you gotta be one of the others 2:08:38.600 --> 2:08:39.880 to kill you. You got to be one of the. 2:08:41.640 --> 2:08:42.000 Only one. 2:08:42.080 --> 2:08:42.400 Jesus. 2:08:42.400 --> 2:08:44.680 It gotta be one of the other. But Jesus is gone. 2:08:44.720 --> 2:08:46.400 He's out of here, so we can't even use him 2:08:46.400 --> 2:08:47.400 as an example anymore. 2:08:47.480 --> 2:08:50.920 That's what I'm saying exactly. That's why they're As a 2:08:50.960 --> 2:08:53.400 Christian and I know screen probably like, but this other 2:08:53.440 --> 2:08:55.800 religion says this and that, and I really respect how 2:08:55.800 --> 2:08:58.480 you have studied everything, so you're like, yeah, but as 2:08:58.480 --> 2:09:01.920 a Christian, I'm saying that's what we're saying. Is that exactly? 2:09:02.160 --> 2:09:05.080 That's why there ain't no other prophet out here who 2:09:05.200 --> 2:09:07.360 That's why would Kanye said he's a god? But you 2:09:07.400 --> 2:09:07.920 better stop. 2:09:08.320 --> 2:09:11.800 No, there's no other prophet because there are no other virgins. 2:09:12.520 --> 2:09:14.640 There's no other prophet because there are no other pregnant 2:09:14.720 --> 2:09:21.160 virgins exactly there But was there even yes? 2:09:21.400 --> 2:09:26.600 So what yes, don't believe Jesus existed? Then the answer 2:09:26.680 --> 2:09:29.240 is no. Do you want to believe that Jesus did exist? 2:09:29.480 --> 2:09:31.120 So if you believe that, but I just don't. 2:09:30.960 --> 2:09:33.880 Think I believe it was immaculately concepted. 2:09:33.960 --> 2:09:36.040 Do you want to ask you this, bro? So, why 2:09:36.040 --> 2:09:38.680 would they cover up who his daddy was? And why 2:09:38.920 --> 2:09:43.160 you got to ask the lady? Yes? But why the 2:09:43.200 --> 2:09:46.920 Bible talks about other people that was known uh prostitutes 2:09:46.920 --> 2:09:50.680 and people that was like like literal they had married. 2:09:50.720 --> 2:09:52.080 They had married on a pedestal. 2:09:52.840 --> 2:09:55.280 They had married on the pedestal. Yes, so why would 2:09:55.280 --> 2:09:56.840 they choose marry out of all women to be on 2:09:56.880 --> 2:09:57.400 the pedestal. 2:09:57.880 --> 2:09:59.920 Face, She's been on there, she was on the pedi 2:10:00.080 --> 2:10:04.120 so before she became an alleged fucking pregnant virgin. 2:10:04.200 --> 2:10:08.360 Hold on, man, this you want? Do you want? 2:10:08.360 --> 2:10:08.600 Please? 2:10:08.800 --> 2:10:11.440 Ask you? Nobody? Nobody was checking for Mary. Mary wasn't 2:10:11.480 --> 2:10:14.400 like some big dog. It was like Mary was like 2:10:14.440 --> 2:10:15.280 rose Mary was. 2:10:15.320 --> 2:10:17.360 Dumped off and that's why she had something to hide, 2:10:18.480 --> 2:10:19.480 just because somebody. 2:10:19.400 --> 2:10:20.080 Bro bro. 2:10:22.160 --> 2:10:24.839 Brother, think about. 2:10:26.560 --> 2:10:28.800 Do you want?

I 2:15:38.560 --> 2:15:41.320 can't argue with their spirit and their belief in what 2:15:41.440 --> 2:15:44.520 they saw in Hell. Selassie, you see what I'm saying. 2:15:44.560 --> 2:15:47.040 I wasn't there, so I can't tell them that you're 2:15:47.080 --> 2:15:51.440 not following the right prophet because this is the only profit. 2:15:51.680 --> 2:15:53.520 And then I also say, let me just find and 2:15:53.560 --> 2:15:56.480 say this. If you grew up, let's say you grew 2:15:56.560 --> 2:15:59.400 up in Asia, your entire life, right and your own 2:15:59.480 --> 2:16:02.080 your own exposed to Buddha. You were never exposed to 2:16:02.120 --> 2:16:04.440 a Bible or the story of Jesus Christ or Jesus 2:16:04.520 --> 2:16:06.680 or anything like that. You were only exposed to this 2:16:07.200 --> 2:16:10.360 from your birthday to your death day. Right, that's all 2:16:10.400 --> 2:16:12.640 you were exposed to. You don't know any other way. 2:16:12.960 --> 2:16:14.840 But if you pray every day and you worship a 2:16:14.920 --> 2:16:17.200 higher power, and you're like you humble yourself to say 2:16:17.240 --> 2:16:19.320 thank you for another day and the blessings you bestowed 2:16:19.360 --> 2:16:21.600 upon me and so forth and so far, I still 2:16:21.600 --> 2:16:24.480 think you could be rewarded and blessed here and after here. 2:16:24.640 --> 2:16:26.120 That's my belief, right me too. 2:16:26.720 --> 2:16:29.800 I respect you because even the way you're articulating what 2:16:29.840 --> 2:16:35.680 you're saying is coming from a place of like rationale. Yeah, 2:16:37.240 --> 2:16:39.720 a lot of people are are coming because one thing 2:16:39.760 --> 2:16:41.200 I was going to come in on what you said 2:16:41.680 --> 2:16:46.039 was like, I'm cool with a lot of Muslims, like 2:16:46.160 --> 2:16:51.440 a lot of right, I'm cool with a lot of Rosterfaris. 2:16:51.480 --> 2:16:55.440 You know what I'm saying, I'm a Rosteropharians. I'm cool 2:16:55.480 --> 2:16:58.120 with people. That's like, hey, I'm spiritual, but I'm not 2:16:58.160 --> 2:17:00.800 religious at all, so I don't claim nothing, and I'm 2:17:01.000 --> 2:17:06.119 friends with these people. And what I realized is you're 2:17:06.160 --> 2:17:10.760 either going to approach your relationships with them to where 2:17:10.760 --> 2:17:13.600 you're always telling them you know what you believe is wrong, right, 2:17:13.640 --> 2:17:15.600 you know what you're wrong with what I believe is right. 2:17:15.640 --> 2:17:18.560 You're either gonna do that and you're gonna become that person, 2:17:19.240 --> 2:17:21.240 or you're going to be the person that's like, hey, 2:17:21.320 --> 2:17:23.440 at the end of the day, you might be a 2:17:23.480 --> 2:17:26.240 Falcons fan, I'm a Saints fan. You hear me. I'm 2:17:26.240 --> 2:17:30.720 black and gold, you hear me all day. But I'm 2:17:30.800 --> 2:17:32.920 still able to look at what it is we do 2:17:33.040 --> 2:17:35.000 have encountered and what we are on the same page 2:17:35.000 --> 2:17:38.160 about and still exude that love with you and connect 2:17:38.200 --> 2:17:40.600 with you on them levels and at a certain point 2:17:40.840 --> 2:17:42.640 the things that we know that we got different feelings 2:17:42.640 --> 2:17:46.920 about that stuff. If those conversations need to come up, 2:17:47.000 --> 2:17:50.119 if and when that'll happen on its own. But I'm 2:17:50.160 --> 2:17:53.400 not getting cool with you just to be able to 2:17:53.400 --> 2:17:55.640 tell you you know you're wrong and you know you're wrong, 2:17:55.680 --> 2:17:57.840 because that's not love, and that's not what to bring 2:17:57.840 --> 2:18:00.280 it really full circle. That's not even what Jesus did. 2:18:00.640 --> 2:18:04.200 Like the way Jesus did walk amongst the centers and 2:18:04.240 --> 2:18:06.959 the thieves and the tax collectors is that he was 2:18:07.000 --> 2:18:10.440 there eating dinner with them at their crib. They clearly 2:18:10.480 --> 2:18:12.480 thought he was a cool dude. They was inviting him 2:18:12.720 --> 2:18:14.920 to they crib. You feel me. So when people try 2:18:14.920 --> 2:18:16.400 to come at me like I'm just gonna name some 2:18:16.480 --> 2:18:18.680 artists that I've had featured on my songs, and people 2:18:18.720 --> 2:18:20.680 try to come at me like, well, why would you 2:18:20.879 --> 2:18:22.920 have this person on your song, I'm just like, stop, 2:18:23.240 --> 2:18:26.120 that sounds elementary. Why would you have The Game on 2:18:26.160 --> 2:18:27.880 your song?

It's like, why would I not. 2:18:42.480 --> 2:18:45.000 We have so much that we relate on as people 2:18:45.080 --> 2:18:48.120 because we're people first, you know what I mean? And 2:18:48.320 --> 2:18:50.320 the human experience is something that so many of us 2:18:50.360 --> 2:18:53.039 can relate on that I just need to be in 2:18:53.120 --> 2:18:57.000 relationship with these people. That's why I'm thankful that God 2:18:57.080 --> 2:18:59.840 is using me to be able to build bridges to 2:19:00.040 --> 2:19:02.640 as like, oh word, I ain't talk to a dude 2:19:02.680 --> 2:19:05.160 that's a Christian maybe in a long time or they 2:19:05.280 --> 2:19:07.879 really stand on his Christian beliefs. But I met d 2:19:08.040 --> 2:19:10.560 one and dude a little crazy, but he cool, like 2:19:10.600 --> 2:19:13.119 I rock a dude. Maybe that helps open the door 2:19:13.480 --> 2:19:16.280 to somebody saying, you know what, maybe if I do 2:19:16.440 --> 2:19:18.959 go to church, or maybe if I meet some more Christians. 2:19:19.000 --> 2:19:21.440 I'm not coming into it with just this wall up, 2:19:21.520 --> 2:19:24.800 Like y'all all super just one of you you tricked. 2:19:26.400 --> 2:19:29.800 What would you feel like you've been bamboo by the Bible?

Like, can anybody tell you that you're 2:19:39.800 --> 2:19:43.720 not black at this point? Yeah, somebody can tell you 2:19:43.760 --> 2:19:47.120 color black be black. It's color black. Man might be 2:19:47.200 --> 2:19:51.960 caring man whole bank. Okay, so you're saying that possb 2:19:52.360 --> 2:19:54.520 I feel like you was the student in class who 2:19:54.560 --> 2:19:57.360 always is a teacher trying to make examples. He like, 2:19:57.440 --> 2:19:59.400 I'm gonna go against this point. I know you're trying 2:19:59.400 --> 2:20:04.760 to make. But can somebody can somebody tell you, scream 2:20:04.879 --> 2:20:06.520 that you are not a man, that you're a woman. 2:20:07.160 --> 2:20:09.879 Nobody could convince you of that. That's how firm I 2:20:09.920 --> 2:20:12.160 feel about I can't get vince you of that. Now 2:20:12.200 --> 2:20:16.240 you're right there, you go to man, man, that's how 2:20:16.320 --> 2:20:19.400 That's how firm I feel about my belief in God 2:20:19.760 --> 2:20:23.280 and about my belief in Jesus. To where yo, if 2:20:23.280 --> 2:20:25.000 it do come out there, it's like, oh, man, you 2:20:25.080 --> 2:20:26.879 got bad moods. Guess what. I ain't gonna be here 2:20:26.879 --> 2:20:28.680 to find out. And I'm gonna be in there after 2:20:28.720 --> 2:20:30.920 life anywhere, and it's gonna be like, oh, it's too late, 2:20:31.360 --> 2:20:33.039 because that ain't happening while I'm here. 2:20:33.959 --> 2:20:36.240 I can dig that. You feel me, No, I feel 2:20:36.240 --> 2:20:39.200 the same. Yeah, I ain't saying that. I just don't 2:20:39.240 --> 2:20:40.920 believe nothing that they told us before. 2:20:40.959 --> 2:20:44.360 We know? So so how you so? How you know 2:20:45.080 --> 2:20:47.520 that your parents are your parents? You didn't watch them 2:20:47.520 --> 2:20:52.720 have sins and create was somebody that somebody who was 2:20:52.720 --> 2:20:54.600 in the room, you know what I'm saying, somebody that 2:20:54.720 --> 2:20:57.360 all bounced it. This lady had me. You know. 2:20:57.440 --> 2:21:00.000 You know that's why I, like I said, I belie 2:21:00.240 --> 2:21:02.360 everybody should it should be mandatory that you get a 2:21:02.440 --> 2:21:05.959 DNA test for your father because your mother, have you 2:21:06.000 --> 2:21:08.400 and your father get a DNA test them your parents? 2:21:08.400 --> 2:21:11.840 So what about your great grandparents, who I'm assuming they 2:21:11.920 --> 2:21:14.600 no longer hear with us on earth.

I think it's I think it was. 2:23:54.280 --> 2:23:56.040 First of all, I don't think King James had a 2:23:56.080 --> 2:23:58.920 meeting with every one did the books. Whoever got the books, 2:23:59.280 --> 2:24:00.640 whoever did the boy. 2:24:00.680 --> 2:24:02.760 I'm saying, whoever wrote the Bible and put it all together, 2:24:02.959 --> 2:24:05.920 we got stories. If listen, if everybody in this room, 2:24:05.959 --> 2:24:08.480 who I work with and whatever, they're gonna tell the good. 2:24:08.320 --> 2:24:09.480 Times of Bank. 2:24:10.240 --> 2:24:10.600 Mm hmm. 2:24:11.120 --> 2:24:13.480 They're gonna tell all the times I made them feel. 2:24:13.520 --> 2:24:16.039 They're gonna say, but sometimes he be glitching.

I did some unincredible ship in my lifetime. 2:24:30.520 --> 2:24:33.680 This as a regular street nigga. So they gonna tell 2:24:33.680 --> 2:24:36.920 the same story as in the Book of Jade. What 2:24:36.959 --> 2:24:40.199 you think they're gonna sound like about Bank? The book 2:24:40.240 --> 2:24:43.080 us Shunning? Take the book David, my buddy David. The 2:24:43.280 --> 2:24:45.240 niggas gonna tell the then niggas a hero. 2:24:46.000 --> 2:24:48.600 Right, So you're making a good point, but allow me 2:24:48.680 --> 2:24:51.920 to make one as well. Go ahead. As much as 2:24:51.920 --> 2:24:55.480 people revere Martin Luther King, they got them people that's 2:24:55.520 --> 2:24:58.400 like man Martin Luther King had h o ees on 2:24:58.440 --> 2:25:00.360 top of h o e s on top. But this 2:25:00.400 --> 2:25:02.760 man was crooked, this man was foul. That other side 2:25:02.800 --> 2:25:04.920 has come out. It ain't as popular as the ones 2:25:04.959 --> 2:25:06.840 that's big up in him. But all you got to 2:25:06.840 --> 2:25:09.280 do is google. They got whole books written on how 2:25:09.320 --> 2:25:11.480 Martin Luther King was not nobody. We need to be 2:25:11.520 --> 2:25:15.320 looking up to recent as much because all that shit 2:25:15.400 --> 2:25:18.080 recent nip. Nip only been passed away for what five 2:25:18.160 --> 2:25:20.119 years at this point, but all that shit recent as 2:25:20.200 --> 2:25:23.800 much as people. As much as people revere nip and 2:25:23.840 --> 2:25:26.040 look up to nip, they got the other side of 2:25:26.160 --> 2:25:28.000 You got people you can call them haters of nip, 2:25:28.160 --> 2:25:30.320 you could call them whatevers, but they got people that 2:25:30.600 --> 2:25:33.920 come out and say nine positive things about nil all 2:25:34.040 --> 2:25:36.600 this time. And you ain't heard nothing bad about Jesus. 2:25:36.640 --> 2:25:39.480 Come on, man, he gotta be not of this world. 2:25:40.120 --> 2:25:42.640 Got too, you ain't hear nothing bad about Jesus? But 2:25:43.200 --> 2:25:46.000 what's the color? Like? The name could be changed? This 2:25:46.000 --> 2:25:47.879 is what I'm saying. Like first they saying. 2:25:48.000 --> 2:25:50.240 Could be black, could be white, could be this right, 2:25:50.760 --> 2:25:53.240 could be different colors, brown skin, light skin, whatever. 2:25:53.720 --> 2:25:57.160 Right, who's to say that this name is Jesus? 2:25:58.720 --> 2:26:01.160 I mean, and Israelites call him some That's what I'm saying. 2:26:01.320 --> 2:26:03.080 Like, at the end of the day, do we really 2:26:03.120 --> 2:26:05.920 know the story? Is what I'm saying. I ain't saying 2:26:05.959 --> 2:26:07.640 I don't believe that this is a person. I don't 2:26:07.680 --> 2:26:13.440 say because everything has been remixed, everything has been remixed. 2:26:13.520 --> 2:26:16.039 I don't think that we couldn't play the telephone game. 2:26:16.080 --> 2:26:18.400 We got one. We got six people in here. If 2:26:18.400 --> 2:26:20.520 we had thirty students in this class, and if we 2:26:20.560 --> 2:26:22.959 did a telephone game, I'm gonna start a message out. 2:26:23.040 --> 2:26:24.959 I'm gonna pass it to you and everybody telling him. 2:26:26.200 --> 2:26:26.920 It's gonna be different. 2:26:27.520 --> 2:26:31.680 Life Jesus. That's the life of Jesus, the life of 2:26:31.760 --> 2:26:34.640 Jesus Christ. All the different interpretations of the Bible, it's 2:26:34.640 --> 2:26:37.959 the same account of his life, the same one. What's 2:26:37.959 --> 2:26:38.840 the eyes of that brother? 2:26:39.080 --> 2:26:47.840 But in Yes, Bross, it's many of those. It's many, 2:26:47.959 --> 2:26:50.240 it's many of those. It's over different things. It's like 2:26:51.040 --> 2:26:53.320 and they say, Okay, that's supposed to be in Jesus. 2:26:54.320 --> 2:26:56.160 You know what I'm saying in the Bible? Like and 2:26:56.200 --> 2:26:58.520 that came before Like what about the religion that came 2:26:58.600 --> 2:27:01.920 before Jesus in any of the other stuff. What about 2:27:01.920 --> 2:27:06.000 those religions who people with spiritual had had religion? What 2:27:06.080 --> 2:27:09.600 about those before Jesus came, before the savior came, Jesus 2:27:09.720 --> 2:27:10.240 Christ came? 2:27:10.600 --> 2:27:13.080 What what about those people? How would they getting to God? 2:27:13.800 --> 2:27:15.640 How are they getting to God? At that point? They 2:27:15.640 --> 2:27:17.560 couldn't get to God through Jesus, so they had to 2:27:17.560 --> 2:27:20.360 be gone through God directly. That's a great question. 2:27:20.560 --> 2:27:20.959 You said. 2:27:23.920 --> 2:27:26.120 They believe in sacrifice, they believe in all type of thing. 2:27:26.760 --> 2:27:29.040 I could put up the scripture bro to where God 2:27:29.120 --> 2:27:32.200 literally says I am sending my son down here and 2:27:32.320 --> 2:27:35.400 any of you. But who wrote that? So are you 2:27:35.440 --> 2:27:37.360 worried about who wrote it or what I'm saying? 2:27:37.560 --> 2:27:40.640 Listen, listen, how is it true if y'all was able 2:27:40.680 --> 2:27:42.640 to get to me and get healings and everything on 2:27:42.680 --> 2:27:45.760 the world and all these miracles was here before Jesus. 2:27:47.280 --> 2:27:48.800 That's told me that. That's all I want to know. 2:27:49.080 --> 2:27:51.040 How do we how do we get blessed? How do 2:27:51.160 --> 2:27:54.000 we get anything for our sins or anything? Before Jesus? 2:27:54.080 --> 2:27:57.680 When it was already God was, We had already be created. 2:27:58.600 --> 2:28:02.000 So this this way, this is why I'm that was created. 2:28:02.040 --> 2:28:03.959 Once Jesus came here, God became. 2:28:06.040 --> 2:28:07.720 That's that's that's religion. Listen. 2:28:08.480 --> 2:28:11.440 This is my final question on it. So Jesus was 2:28:11.520 --> 2:28:14.120 God said, it's d one. 2:28:14.200 --> 2:28:18.800 God said, yeah, I wasn't. 2:28:19.600 --> 2:28:22.160 We're not talking about this of your religion and what 2:28:22.240 --> 2:28:22.600 you believe. 2:28:22.640 --> 2:28:23.160 We were. 2:28:24.920 --> 2:28:27.800 We respect, we respect I respect. 2:28:28.080 --> 2:28:32.680 I respect everybody's religions and their philosophy cultural, cultural. For 2:28:32.760 --> 2:28:35.959 what I'm saying is they say that Christ within you, right, 2:28:36.640 --> 2:28:39.240 I think that story of Jesus is to show us 2:28:39.760 --> 2:28:42.680 that we should not have these limitations in these ceilings. 2:28:43.040 --> 2:28:43.600 Right. 2:28:44.720 --> 2:28:47.320 I'm not saying I'm God like, oh, God like that, 2:28:47.440 --> 2:28:50.080 but God is within me. So if I tap into 2:28:50.120 --> 2:28:52.560 that power properly, I know since I became better at 2:28:52.560 --> 2:28:56.320 tapping into that part of into that power, like, I've 2:28:56.320 --> 2:28:58.320 been a better person and more powerful person. I've been 2:28:58.320 --> 2:28:59.959 able to touch other people, I've been able to shift 2:29:00.160 --> 2:29:03.400 energy out. This is God like. I'm not God, but 2:29:03.440 --> 2:29:05.160 I'm saying that God is within me. So I just 2:29:05.160 --> 2:29:06.840 think that the story of Jesus, when they say the 2:29:06.879 --> 2:29:09.480 Christ willin you, tap into the Christ within you, tap 2:29:09.520 --> 2:29:09.879 into that. 2:29:09.879 --> 2:29:13.720 God with understand what you said I had, I had 2:29:13.920 --> 2:29:17.840 tripp him up a little bit, scream before you got 2:29:17.520 --> 2:29:18.840 you on his. 2:29:18.879 --> 2:29:22.880 Side, trip that you got your shoes off. 2:29:23.000 --> 2:29:27.080 Help me understand that, Help me understand the trip I 2:29:27.080 --> 2:29:27.960 got him shoes. 2:29:28.160 --> 2:29:29.000 Help me understand that. 2:29:29.760 --> 2:29:31.959 Help me understand that you help me understand that was 2:29:31.959 --> 2:29:35.480 the question I get saying great analogy, DJ Stream Great 2:29:36.160 --> 2:29:37.520 you always bailed this figure out. 2:29:38.120 --> 2:29:48.360 Help me understand how did we get to God before Jesus?

Then why did they always ask. 2:31:49.440 --> 2:31:53.440 The card to show how unhealthy humanity is compared to him? 2:31:53.520 --> 2:31:55.720 That y'all gonna take the Son of God, a freaking 2:31:55.840 --> 2:31:59.119 perfect human being who'd been down here performing miracles, healing 2:31:59.160 --> 2:32:03.119 the sick and the dead, blessing people, and and y'all 2:32:03.200 --> 2:32:03.920 gonna kill him. 2:32:04.000 --> 2:32:07.279 And y'all because they still kill niggas. 2:32:07.320 --> 2:32:10.000 What you mean exactly. So the purpose that I'm killing 2:32:10.040 --> 2:32:12.520 him was to show that none of these human beings 2:32:12.560 --> 2:32:16.080 is our saving because we all corrupt. We all so 2:32:16.240 --> 2:32:18.320 corrupt that we didn't even kill the son of God. 2:32:18.640 --> 2:32:20.240 It was down here. So at the end of the day, 2:32:20.280 --> 2:32:22.240 you could look up to people to a certain extent, 2:32:22.400 --> 2:32:24.760 but ain't None of us gods were God like, we're 2:32:24.800 --> 2:32:26.879 made in his image. But when you got people that's 2:32:26.920 --> 2:32:30.480 out here, nigg that's a big difference. There had to 2:32:30.520 --> 2:32:33.360 be one. There wasn't one, Jade. Then they would be like, 2:32:33.640 --> 2:32:35.360 what's sure, we're on the same thing. 2:32:35.480 --> 2:32:36.240 Continue to go on? 2:32:36.360 --> 2:32:39.240 Then that one how you die? 2:32:39.480 --> 2:32:39.680 Nah? 2:32:39.800 --> 2:32:43.000 That that's not I couldn't agree with that one if 2:32:43.040 --> 2:32:46.720 the same stuff continued to go on, because not everybody 2:32:46.800 --> 2:32:50.400 after the time of Jesus is even believing or adhering 2:32:50.440 --> 2:32:52.480 to what Jesus preached. You got some people that like, 2:32:52.760 --> 2:32:54.520 f all that I'm finna go wild out, man, Take 2:32:54.560 --> 2:32:57.360 me to the strip club, take me to the Hoodah. 2:32:57.560 --> 2:32:59.560 You got some people that's like, I hear all that 2:32:59.680 --> 2:33:01.920 message you over here, But I ain't on none of that. 2:33:01.959 --> 2:33:04.320 You hear me, I'm I'm I'm I'm living like this 2:33:04.560 --> 2:33:07.959 because it's my purpose again, you know. And you know 2:33:08.000 --> 2:33:10.600 what God blessed us with was free will. He loved 2:33:10.640 --> 2:33:12.879 us so much that he's like, dang, I'm gonna give 2:33:12.920 --> 2:33:15.040 y'all free will, because ain't nothing better than being able 2:33:15.080 --> 2:33:16.720 to say, I want my left hand to move, and 2:33:16.760 --> 2:33:20.560 I'm making move. But the problem with the free wheel is, 2:33:20.760 --> 2:33:23.879 ever since even Adam and Eve, ever since Adam and Eve, 2:33:23.920 --> 2:33:27.720 with that free will, God to be like, look, y'all 2:33:27.760 --> 2:33:29.480 can do whatever y'all want. Just stay away from that 2:33:29.520 --> 2:33:31.959 tree over there. It's called you know, that's that's the 2:33:32.000 --> 2:33:33.760 trier good and evil. It's in the garden of ve. 2:33:33.959 --> 2:33:35.840 Just stay away from that tree. But y'all got the 2:33:35.840 --> 2:33:38.120 rest of all this to do whatever you want. That's 2:33:38.160 --> 2:33:40.160 like we're in this studio right now. Whatever y'all do, 2:33:40.520 --> 2:33:43.240 just don't don't open that door right there. But all 2:33:43.320 --> 2:33:46.640 this is good. Guess what the first two human beings 2:33:46.640 --> 2:33:49.600 that ever existed went did? They said, oh, we want 2:33:49.600 --> 2:33:51.680 to open that door right there, So they went and 2:33:51.879 --> 2:33:53.640 ate off of the one tree that he told him 2:33:53.640 --> 2:33:56.080 not to eat off of. At that point, it's like, oh, 2:33:56.480 --> 2:34:00.280 all right, humanity is corrupted. If the first two human 2:34:00.320 --> 2:34:03.240 beers that I created, it's gonna go and disobey me 2:34:03.280 --> 2:34:05.480 when I gave him all this freedom and all these blessings. 2:34:05.920 --> 2:34:09.240 Humanity is corrupted at a certain point, Sidim and goodmor 2:34:09.400 --> 2:34:11.800 I heard you mention that you got all these other examples, 2:34:11.959 --> 2:34:15.320 there was wilding the f out. You heard me in 2:34:15.160 --> 2:34:17.680 the Old Testament. There was wilding out to the point 2:34:17.680 --> 2:34:20.840 where God was like, somebody got an intervene. We didn't 2:34:20.840 --> 2:34:28.720 all needed that person. I'm just a good man. I'm cooking. Listen. 2:34:29.240 --> 2:34:32.280 We didn't all been in school and somebody in class 2:34:32.280 --> 2:34:34.120 wilding out. It probably was you. You heard me in 2:34:34.160 --> 2:34:36.640 class wilding out to the point where they'd be like, hey, 2:34:37.040 --> 2:34:40.280 call in, uh the intervention officer, call in somebody. The 2:34:40.280 --> 2:34:42.840 teacher can't even handle them. No more calling somebody. Man. 2:34:42.879 --> 2:34:44.560 When I was in school, they had to come in 2:34:44.879 --> 2:34:47.760 and put a boy in a in a in a 2:34:47.800 --> 2:34:50.200 sheet with a blanket on top of him and rap 2:34:50.280 --> 2:34:52.879 this do it up and hold all corners just to 2:34:52.959 --> 2:34:55.480 contain him and and pull him to the office. When 2:34:55.480 --> 2:34:57.520 I was in element try to never forget that. But 2:34:57.560 --> 2:34:59.720 the teacher couldn't hand the ladder. They had to really 2:34:59.760 --> 2:35:04.920 get like grown strong. So what happened now him. But 2:35:05.360 --> 2:35:07.720 that being said, it got to that point to where 2:35:07.720 --> 2:35:13.600 God was like, I gotta call in something that shoot, reinforcement, reinforcement. 2:35:13.760 --> 2:35:15.320 I'm gonna give them one of them. 2:35:15.440 --> 2:35:17.200 But the reinforcement didn't reinforce. 2:35:17.280 --> 2:35:20.320 That's what I'm saying. He did give people Jesus blessed 2:35:20.560 --> 2:35:22.360 just because a few people chose to kill. 2:35:22.240 --> 2:35:24.160 You know what I'm saying, he blessed. 2:35:24.440 --> 2:35:26.680 But I thought, from my understanding from what you were saying, 2:35:26.840 --> 2:35:29.480 is that his whole purpose for coming down from the 2:35:29.520 --> 2:35:32.640 heavens or magically appearing in his mama's womb or. 2:35:32.640 --> 2:35:34.320 Whatever wherever the fuck he came from. 2:35:34.920 --> 2:35:37.560 His whole purpose and his whole point was to show 2:35:37.680 --> 2:35:40.600 that man should not put their faith in man. 2:35:40.720 --> 2:35:43.440 Basically, right or am I wrong? 2:35:45.560 --> 2:35:47.720 That wasn't That wasn't his purpose at all. So what 2:35:47.840 --> 2:35:49.880 was his purpose? Then? His purpose was to be down 2:35:49.920 --> 2:35:52.080 here and to show what God looks like and human. 2:35:52.120 --> 2:35:57.280 For you got all this going on in the world. 2:35:56.720 --> 2:36:01.480 So basically, now to the cross, show that faith in. 2:36:04.480 --> 2:36:04.680 Hold on. 2:36:04.879 --> 2:36:08.119 So you're saying, you're saying that there's not another man 2:36:08.320 --> 2:36:10.880 like that, though not another man there was perfect that 2:36:10.959 --> 2:36:14.279 walked this earth. No sir, and and in other religions, 2:36:14.400 --> 2:36:18.160 once again, here we go in other religions, individuals who 2:36:18.240 --> 2:36:22.040 they have said, Hey, this person or this person, this 2:36:22.240 --> 2:36:24.640 is who started this religion, this who founded this religion. 2:36:24.680 --> 2:36:26.760 Guess what? Guess what ended up coming out a bunch 2:36:26.800 --> 2:36:30.080 of smiter on they man, a bunch of oh this person, oh, 2:36:30.160 --> 2:36:31.879 King James or King James is all your da da 2:36:31.959 --> 2:36:35.080 da or this person over this religion or this person 2:36:35.160 --> 2:36:38.000 who we were all worshiping or whatever, Oh this person 2:36:38.120 --> 2:36:40.840 had how you say, Melther Max? Come on, man, y'all 2:36:41.000 --> 2:36:44.800 know these stories. Man, y'all know the story of y'all 2:36:44.800 --> 2:36:46.600 saw a mether Max. Y'all read the book, y'all, y'all, 2:36:46.720 --> 2:36:50.640 y'all saw the movie. Yeah, yeah, so y'all know it's like, oh, 2:36:51.000 --> 2:36:53.720 but with Jesus, it hasn't been something to where it's 2:36:53.840 --> 2:36:59.560 like dang, dang, they ain't found nothing of Jesus. It's 2:36:59.600 --> 2:37:04.280 going on two thousand and twenty four years. He's founding 2:37:04.400 --> 2:37:07.680 on Barack Obama. Now you tripping. They got to do it. 2:37:07.760 --> 2:37:09.320 And I ain't even want to say that, but. 2:37:09.320 --> 2:37:13.360 What I'm saying they ain't founding on Lebron James. Some 2:37:13.520 --> 2:37:15.680 niggas just pure, still pure niggas. 2:37:16.200 --> 2:37:21.320 What's the difference, because that's a human version of being pure, 2:37:22.040 --> 2:37:24.480 that's the difference. Even though you're right, ain't nothing big 2:37:24.720 --> 2:37:25.600 came out about. 2:37:26.080 --> 2:37:28.280 Aren't you saying? Aren't you saying Jesus is the same thing. 2:37:28.400 --> 2:37:31.920 I ain't no, the human version of being although although 2:37:33.120 --> 2:37:35.720 they ain't found nothing on Lebron. If we act Lebron 2:37:35.800 --> 2:37:38.160 right now, Lebron, have you ever committed a sin in 2:37:38.240 --> 2:37:40.160 your life? Lebron will be the first one to tell you, 2:37:40.160 --> 2:37:43.080 because he seemed like a very humble, like level headed dude. 2:37:43.200 --> 2:37:44.920 Lebron will be the first one to tell you. Man, 2:37:44.959 --> 2:37:47.680 are you serious? Heck yeah, I have committed book who 2:37:47.760 --> 2:37:49.920 sins in my life? What you mean just because I 2:37:49.920 --> 2:37:52.280 ain't have no big r Kelly scandal come out about me, 2:37:52.600 --> 2:37:56.000 don't mean that I'm personal out there. You said commit 2:37:56.200 --> 2:37:59.480 not one sin, not one sin, brother, not one sin? 2:37:59.680 --> 2:38:03.040 So you're saying Jesus was perfect? Yes, I ain't never 2:38:03.120 --> 2:38:06.760 read that point, I believe. So that's the whole that's 2:38:06.840 --> 2:38:09.800 the whole thing. Why it's like, man, Jesus not just 2:38:09.959 --> 2:38:11.960 like one of us. That's the whole kicker is like 2:38:12.240 --> 2:38:15.120 it was only one of him. It was only one 2:38:15.200 --> 2:38:17.120 of him, that's the whole kicker. 2:38:17.240 --> 2:38:19.360 So that what made him believe that she probably could 2:38:19.400 --> 2:38:21.640 have held her because how he was, how he was, 2:38:22.080 --> 2:38:22.680 how he was. 2:38:22.760 --> 2:38:25.400 He's like, yeah, he she she won. They probably down 2:38:25.480 --> 2:38:28.720 her till they seen how he really was, and then 2:38:29.080 --> 2:38:30.840 I can go for that. Now I can go for that. 2:38:30.920 --> 2:38:33.400 But that does that mean that? But this nigga grew 2:38:33.480 --> 2:38:36.120 up and they saw how he was. I have doubts. 2:38:36.760 --> 2:38:37.600 Oh no, no, I said. 2:38:37.640 --> 2:38:40.120 They was probably down her until they seem like how 2:38:40.200 --> 2:38:43.279 he was, Like nah, this nigga is this, he is different. 2:38:43.520 --> 2:38:44.800 He might have did come from God. 2:38:45.000 --> 2:38:49.160 He just he just rolls somebody from the dead. Lazarus 2:38:49.320 --> 2:38:52.720 was blind. He gave his mad sight. This the miracle. 2:38:52.800 --> 2:38:55.680 This miracle they seen. He fed five thousand people with 2:38:55.800 --> 2:38:58.160 a few loaves of bread. I just saw the bread. 2:38:58.280 --> 2:38:59.920 All the people out there, now we just saw that. 2:39:00.320 --> 2:39:02.600 It was a couple of pieces. This man fed five 2:39:02.680 --> 2:39:05.039 thousand people with this. They were seeing this and they 2:39:05.160 --> 2:39:07.160 was like, oh he different. If we was down the 2:39:07.240 --> 2:39:10.560 whole Mary had a baby and she was a murder. Oh, 2:39:10.600 --> 2:39:12.760 we ain't doubted him the more. But along with people 2:39:12.800 --> 2:39:15.760 becoming your fans. It's people becoming jealous of you too. 2:39:16.600 --> 2:39:19.160 So even his clique, his crew, he had one of 2:39:19.200 --> 2:39:21.800 the ones that got jealous, Judas. He had twelve that 2:39:21.879 --> 2:39:24.000 he used to roll with, and he had Judas that 2:39:24.160 --> 2:39:26.960 was like, man, I ain't feeling that's what Judis sold 2:39:27.040 --> 2:39:31.039 Jesus out for thirty pieces of silver. Sounded like nowadays 2:39:31.320 --> 2:39:33.840 a lot of people like, man, yeah, I'm rocking on 2:39:33.920 --> 2:39:35.800 my potno or whatever, but we ain't really as close 2:39:35.800 --> 2:39:37.680 as we used to be with what You wouldn't look 2:39:37.680 --> 2:39:40.160 at me how much if I just get dropped the 2:39:40.200 --> 2:39:43.040 location on him or da da da bet we see 2:39:43.040 --> 2:39:45.320 it happen in the streets all the time. That's how 2:39:45.400 --> 2:39:48.920 Jesus got took out all of this stuff. When you 2:39:49.000 --> 2:39:53.080 think about it, it's like, dang, dang, that's how that happened. 2:39:53.120 --> 2:39:57.520 And it's super relatable. That's why God sent himself in 2:39:57.800 --> 2:40:01.040 human form in the form of his son, because it's like, 2:40:01.080 --> 2:40:03.600 I gotta make it relatable. So now when we see, man, 2:40:04.040 --> 2:40:06.000 you was rolling with Homie, but then with Homie get 2:40:06.120 --> 2:40:08.160 locked up, you act like you ain't roll with him 2:40:08.200 --> 2:40:10.760 no more, and d man, that's lame, No, that's fate. 2:40:10.800 --> 2:40:13.800 We don't respect that. Now you could relate to man, 2:40:13.879 --> 2:40:17.240 that stuff ain't new, That ain't some Atlanta Street chronicles. 2:40:17.520 --> 2:40:20.120 Man that heaven to Jesus, and it shows that he 2:40:20.280 --> 2:40:24.360 wasn't liking nobody else because guess what he knew already. Man, 2:40:24.400 --> 2:40:25.840 I already know whos gonna be the one to sell 2:40:25.879 --> 2:40:27.680 me out. That's gonna be Julus. But guess what he 2:40:27.760 --> 2:40:31.280 did at the last supper. He still got up eating 2:40:31.360 --> 2:40:33.840 dinner with them for the last time and was like, Man, 2:40:33.920 --> 2:40:36.800 I won't show y'all how much I love y'all. Got 2:40:36.879 --> 2:40:42.000 up washed everybody's feet, bro washed everybody's feet while they 2:40:42.080 --> 2:40:44.160 was having the last supper, just to show y'all that, 2:40:44.280 --> 2:40:47.840 although I'm guard and human form, that's how humble I am, 2:40:47.920 --> 2:40:50.480 because that's how humble we called to be on this earth. 2:40:50.959 --> 2:40:54.920 I'm washing y'all feet, I'm breaking bread with y'all eating dinner, 2:40:55.640 --> 2:40:58.320 and I'm knowing that you're about to sell me out, 2:40:58.840 --> 2:41:00.480 and you about have had these people come in here 2:41:00.720 --> 2:41:02.760 and pick me up and arrest me and torture me 2:41:02.840 --> 2:41:06.400 and eventually kill me. But I'm still gonna come and 2:41:06.480 --> 2:41:08.600 give you a kiss and let you know you're steal 2:41:08.680 --> 2:41:12.760 my brother, crazy man. Ain't nobody else like that? So 2:41:13.080 --> 2:41:15.960 who who told you all this? Like? 2:41:16.120 --> 2:41:16.600 Who who? 2:41:16.959 --> 2:41:18.800 It's in the Bible? I give the Bible app if 2:41:18.840 --> 2:41:21.560 you want, brother, I just like it's in the Bible app. 2:41:21.600 --> 2:41:25.720 Who verified about it's in the Bible?

So living living enough life and eventually having 2:41:31.680 --> 2:41:32.560 it's the book. 2:41:32.320 --> 2:41:33.879 You this on the book? 2:41:34.000 --> 2:41:36.680 You read books? Right, I just say redbooks. Heck yeah, 2:41:36.760 --> 2:41:40.800 but don't know those same books like thinking, don't those 2:41:40.840 --> 2:41:42.600 feels just like how the Bible feels. 2:41:43.400 --> 2:41:43.879 No book. 2:41:44.120 --> 2:41:46.359 None of them ever taught me how to have life eternally. 2:41:46.440 --> 2:41:50.160 They taught me how to get some worldly wealth and 2:41:50.280 --> 2:41:52.680 some money while I'm down here. That's cool. We all 2:41:52.720 --> 2:41:54.840 got I'm just saying. But it's like the same type 2:41:54.879 --> 2:41:57.640 of feelings like knowledge, right, I think. I think it's 2:41:57.680 --> 2:42:00.840 a different high. It's a different type behindh It's something 2:42:00.879 --> 2:42:03.120 that we can't do. It's something that money can't do. 2:42:03.520 --> 2:42:06.880 It's something that making love to somebody can't do. It's 2:42:06.879 --> 2:42:09.920 a different type of how when it's like it's from 2:42:09.959 --> 2:42:14.960 the most high. I think, I don't know, I just feel. 2:42:15.080 --> 2:42:17.800 I just feel like I like, like when I when 2:42:17.840 --> 2:42:19.320 I when like, don't get me wrong, when I go 2:42:19.440 --> 2:42:23.280 in church and ship, I do feel the energy of God. 2:42:23.480 --> 2:42:25.400 You know what I'm saying, Like, even if it could 2:42:25.400 --> 2:42:27.160 be Christian, it could be like I said, it could 2:42:27.200 --> 2:42:29.680 be some ship that I don't understand. It can just 2:42:29.760 --> 2:42:34.199 be some foreign or religion, just whatever. I can feel 2:42:34.320 --> 2:42:37.080 God in the presence of when people are praising God. 2:42:37.720 --> 2:42:40.720 So that's why I don't just box myself in and 2:42:40.840 --> 2:42:43.480 think like it's only one way to get to God. 2:42:44.040 --> 2:42:46.720 If that makes sense what I'm saying like, and I 2:42:46.720 --> 2:42:49.800 ain't saying like Jesus not real. I ain't saying the Bible, 2:42:50.080 --> 2:42:52.080 the Bible not real. They account or what they did 2:42:52.160 --> 2:42:52.600 ain't really. 2:42:52.600 --> 2:42:54.320 I ain't saying that. But what I'm saying is we 2:42:54.440 --> 2:42:55.160 can't say. 2:42:56.040 --> 2:43:00.320 That these people ain't getting to God the same exact wait, 2:43:00.680 --> 2:43:02.600 because they could have had the same problem. Like you're saying, 2:43:02.680 --> 2:43:04.760 Jesus perfect, it is one is his one is this 2:43:04.840 --> 2:43:07.480 one is one. That's the part I just don't believe. 2:43:07.720 --> 2:43:12.320 I believe like that it's gonna be more gonna come. Well, 2:43:12.440 --> 2:43:15.040 I think it's more here that we just don't recognize 2:43:15.080 --> 2:43:17.280 these day we ridicule him and. 2:43:17.360 --> 2:43:20.959 We huh, that's perfect or that's problem. What you mean 2:43:21.120 --> 2:43:22.040 you think not perfect? 2:43:22.400 --> 2:43:23.160 Not perfect? 2:43:23.920 --> 2:43:27.640 Nobody purpose you say, you say Jesus was perfect? Okay, cool, Yeah, 2:43:27.760 --> 2:43:30.560 that could be the twist. Nobody nobody said that's cap 2:43:30.640 --> 2:43:33.000 in all these years, in twenty twenty four years, nobody 2:43:33.040 --> 2:43:38.680 said that's cap. That's strong, that's wrong, twenty twenty four years. Yeah, 2:43:38.720 --> 2:43:41.120 so so what old budget? Judis just set him up? 2:43:41.120 --> 2:43:45.360 He he He wouldn't set him up. He ain't did 2:43:45.440 --> 2:43:49.000 nothing but continue to love Judas even after Judis set 2:43:49.040 --> 2:43:51.960 him up, continue to love him, wash the man feet 2:43:52.240 --> 2:43:54.560 you heard me, still love him. And then when they 2:43:54.600 --> 2:43:57.000 had saying, well, while you set him up just for 2:43:57.080 --> 2:44:00.320 the money, he ain't set him up with jealousy? Oh 2:44:00.440 --> 2:44:03.400 man like word? Are y'all rapping Homan like that? Or 2:44:03.400 --> 2:44:05.960 it's all these big crowds everywhere we go. The same 2:44:06.000 --> 2:44:09.400 reason why groups break up because you getting too much attention, 2:44:10.000 --> 2:44:13.160 I'm getting jealous same thing, same type of thing. And 2:44:13.760 --> 2:44:16.400 nowadays we just gotta we gotta make sure that we aren't. 2:44:17.040 --> 2:44:20.120 Sometimes we turn it things into God's down here, we 2:44:20.240 --> 2:44:24.039 call them idols. We'll be so attached to things down here? 2:44:24.240 --> 2:44:26.360 Is there idols? I think they're more idol in the 2:44:26.400 --> 2:44:30.720 world is money. Like people be so attached to money 2:44:30.800 --> 2:44:32.280 and the love of money. That's why I say it's 2:44:32.280 --> 2:44:33.760 in the Bible. It don't say money is the root 2:44:33.800 --> 2:44:36.160 of all evil. It says the love of money is 2:44:36.200 --> 2:44:38.720 the root of all evil. And that's strong right there, 2:44:38.760 --> 2:44:40.520 because it's like, who don't want to make money? Even 2:44:40.560 --> 2:44:42.520 God new like, yeah, make your money, get your babe, 2:44:42.640 --> 2:44:46.640 but when you love it? So I don't hear right there. 2:44:47.360 --> 2:44:50.800 I don't hear people in hip hop, brother, talking about, man, 2:44:50.800 --> 2:44:53.080 I'm trying to get closer to God. I hear people 2:44:53.080 --> 2:44:55.080 say I'm trying to get closer to a billion dollars, 2:44:55.640 --> 2:44:58.000 a million dollars. You hear that a lot more in 2:44:58.080 --> 2:44:59.920 hip hop. That lets us know that we love it 2:45:00.120 --> 2:45:03.000 money more do we love in God. You're going to 2:45:03.000 --> 2:45:08.119 worsh from nothing over God? You ain't nothing, nothing nothing. 2:45:08.160 --> 2:45:10.280 You ain't putting that like, I don't put that over 2:45:10.520 --> 2:45:12.640 over that, bro, because I know I wouldn't be right here. 2:45:13.040 --> 2:45:19.360 But I do have questions about like this is only 2:45:19.520 --> 2:45:21.360 one way to get to God. I don't believe that. 2:45:22.280 --> 2:45:24.840 I don't came nothing in this world make me believe 2:45:24.879 --> 2:45:26.840 that like this story could be true, but I just 2:45:27.000 --> 2:45:29.959 see too many different religions. I see too much, too 2:45:30.000 --> 2:45:32.800 many different people are blessed. I feel like it's all 2:45:32.920 --> 2:45:36.600 on what you truly believe, How you truly believe what 2:45:36.760 --> 2:45:39.560 you believe. That's why you're gonna always be blessed, because 2:45:39.560 --> 2:45:42.520 it's faith. I feel like you're based off your faith. 2:45:42.560 --> 2:45:45.320 If you believe, you believe in God. Damn this iPhone, 2:45:45.760 --> 2:45:49.200 this iPhone is gonna bless me God a God, tell 2:45:49.280 --> 2:45:52.720 them God and got Noam. And and then the way 2:45:52.800 --> 2:45:56.840 your faith, the faith you put in that phone God 2:45:56.920 --> 2:45:59.560 to come because I don't feel like He gave directions 2:45:59.840 --> 2:46:00.720 on how to get to them. 2:46:00.720 --> 2:46:05.040 It just inside you watch this, it's us happening to 2:46:05.120 --> 2:46:08.240 tell it's us needing to tap into the spirit within 2:46:08.400 --> 2:46:11.720 us more than the spirits that's out here in the world. Yeah. 2:46:12.560 --> 2:46:13.880 When you tap it into that, and I can tell 2:46:13.959 --> 2:46:16.000 spreen be on that type of time, Yeah, like like you, 2:46:16.160 --> 2:46:18.720 you tap into that and you start to realize how 2:46:18.760 --> 2:46:23.080 truly powerful you are. But I know how to stand 2:46:23.160 --> 2:46:25.879 and be bringed and how to kneel and be humble 2:46:26.320 --> 2:46:28.560 because you got to be able to do both because 2:46:28.600 --> 2:46:30.760 at the end of the day. If you get to 2:46:30.840 --> 2:46:33.840 that point to where you think that you got as 2:46:33.959 --> 2:46:37.920 much power as God just because God created you, and 2:46:38.000 --> 2:46:41.240 if you think that you are a God, then it 2:46:41.360 --> 2:46:43.640 makes it to where you aren't able to kneel and 2:46:43.760 --> 2:46:46.200 submit to Nah here Nah, yeah, I guess you took 2:46:46.240 --> 2:46:49.760 that out of content. Am here. Nah you can't put 2:46:49.760 --> 2:46:51.440 yourself next to you know. I was staking over when 2:46:51.600 --> 2:46:53.000 I was thinking to Kanye West when I said that, 2:46:53.040 --> 2:46:55.080 I wasn't referring to you. I'm thinking about this interview 2:46:55.160 --> 2:46:57.000 Kanye and just did with Big Boy a couple of 2:46:57.080 --> 2:46:59.760 days ago. It came out Sunday, and as I'm watching it, 2:47:00.000 --> 2:47:01.720 you know, a couple of years ago, Kanye was Diehod 2:47:01.840 --> 2:47:04.320 Christian like super you know, making gospel albums and all 2:47:04.400 --> 2:47:06.760 that stuff. Right, And now you know, he back to 2:47:06.840 --> 2:47:09.840 you putting vultures out. He back to talking about different 2:47:09.840 --> 2:47:12.400 topics and his music and all that and just on 2:47:12.520 --> 2:47:14.760 a whole different type of energy in the interview. I 2:47:14.879 --> 2:47:16.920 was like, ah, it makes sense now. He in the 2:47:16.959 --> 2:47:19.600 interview he said I am God. He said, ain't no, 2:47:20.000 --> 2:47:22.080 ain't no such thing as killing me like I am God. 2:47:22.240 --> 2:47:24.400 He was like, when I prayed to God, he didn't 2:47:24.400 --> 2:47:27.040 answer my prayers. I prayed. Jesus ain't short for me 2:47:27.120 --> 2:47:28.640 when I was going through this stuff the past few 2:47:28.720 --> 2:47:31.400 years with my family. So I got issues with Jesus. 2:47:31.920 --> 2:47:34.240 That's the sign of a man that feels like God 2:47:34.400 --> 2:47:37.360 is here to serve him instead of him being put 2:47:37.400 --> 2:47:42.080 here to serve God. Like what you saying, he said, Man, 2:47:42.120 --> 2:47:44.480 I got issues with Jesus because when I've been going 2:47:44.520 --> 2:47:47.760 through things for the past few years, Jesus ain't short 2:47:47.879 --> 2:47:50.080 for me. When I prayed, I prayed, and then what's 2:47:50.160 --> 2:47:54.720 up Jesus, God? He said, Jesus, he said, Jesus. So 2:47:54.840 --> 2:47:57.160 I'm just like, that's that's a problem. We don't realize 2:47:57.200 --> 2:48:00.600 that we are here to serve him, and Jesus is 2:48:00.680 --> 2:48:03.720 an example for us to where it's like, okay, the 2:48:03.840 --> 2:48:06.359 goal is to be as much like Jesus as possible. 2:48:06.600 --> 2:48:09.160 We're never doing because we will never be perfect. That's 2:48:09.200 --> 2:48:10.680 the goal, though, It is to be as much like 2:48:10.760 --> 2:48:13.119 Him as possible. When I wear this bracelet and stand 2:48:13.160 --> 2:48:16.040 for what would Jesus do? I first started wearing it 2:48:16.040 --> 2:48:17.960 in high school because Ada and Iverson used to wear 2:48:18.000 --> 2:48:20.040 them here. I'm a big basketball fan. I don't know 2:48:20.040 --> 2:48:22.520 if you remember Ai used to have and he used 2:48:22.520 --> 2:48:24.240 to have then elbow sleeve and all that. So I 2:48:24.320 --> 2:48:25.920 was wearing them because I used to play point guard 2:48:26.000 --> 2:48:27.480 and I was trying to be like Ai. Then I 2:48:27.600 --> 2:48:31.600 became a shoot guard. But after a while I started 2:48:31.640 --> 2:48:35.080 being like, what would Jesus do? Wow? Okay, huh in 2:48:35.240 --> 2:48:38.280 any situation I'm in, you know how they got like, man, 2:48:38.280 --> 2:48:40.240 I'm standing on business man, You're supposed to act like this. 2:48:40.360 --> 2:48:42.119 They got the g cod they got the street code, 2:48:42.120 --> 2:48:44.680 they got all these codes. Man, this is my code. 2:48:44.720 --> 2:48:49.760 What would Jesus do in this situation? When somebody does 2:48:49.879 --> 2:48:53.480 me wrong? Do I react the way Instagram telling me 2:48:53.560 --> 2:48:56.800 to react? When Rick Ross responds to me in a 2:48:56.879 --> 2:48:58.520 way that I'm like, brother, I was talking about a 2:48:58.640 --> 2:49:03.200 serious topic about your musical content. You're responding anyway that's 2:49:03.280 --> 2:49:06.440 just belittering me and disrespecting me and trying to be funny. 2:49:06.800 --> 2:49:10.120 Do I go back at him? Cuz it'd be very 2:49:10.200 --> 2:49:11.800 easy if I wanted to just make fun of him, 2:49:11.879 --> 2:49:13.560 It'll be very easy. There's a lot of things that 2:49:13.640 --> 2:49:15.960 you could talk about. But is that what Jesus would do? 2:49:16.440 --> 2:49:19.280 I don't think Jesus would do that, So hence I 2:49:19.400 --> 2:49:21.640 responded to Ross the way I responded. I don't know 2:49:21.640 --> 2:49:24.000 if any of y'all saw that video, but very widely 2:49:24.080 --> 2:49:28.440 spread video, millions of views. But it was like it 2:49:28.600 --> 2:49:30.920 wasn't me trying to go tit for tat with him. 2:49:31.560 --> 2:49:34.520 You know that ain't because that's what David wanted to do. 2:49:34.640 --> 2:49:37.040 David wanted to be like, oh boy, I'm I'm by that, 2:49:37.280 --> 2:49:39.520 roase the heck out you like you serious, not you 2:49:39.720 --> 2:49:40.640 of all people come on. 2:49:40.840 --> 2:49:44.480 But some niggas be strategically like strategizing that shit, Like 2:49:44.600 --> 2:49:47.160 you could send that line out there knowing that somebody 2:49:47.240 --> 2:49:49.280 gonna bite, and then you come back with the humble way. 2:49:49.520 --> 2:49:50.520 Like niggas do that too. 2:49:50.640 --> 2:49:53.039 Now, see, Ross can feel like that's how you try him, 2:49:53.080 --> 2:49:54.879 Like you did some shit to being on the bite 2:49:54.920 --> 2:49:56.000 de bait, and then you can come back with the 2:49:56.080 --> 2:49:57.280 humble shit and make seem like I. 2:49:57.280 --> 2:50:01.199 Went on that. But then but then you and everybody 2:50:01.240 --> 2:50:02.920 in the industry, they got a lot of people who 2:50:03.000 --> 2:50:05.600 know Homie, who know me as well, and people I 2:50:05.800 --> 2:50:10.120 know hit his line like nah, brother d One like 2:50:10.320 --> 2:50:12.080 his hand on that for real, I like his hand 2:50:12.160 --> 2:50:13.840 on that for real, You know what I mean?

And I'm just saying, like, how niggas could 2:50:27.640 --> 2:50:29.680 take it? How I could take it. I when the 2:50:29.720 --> 2:50:32.200 first time you meet somebody is through Instagram and you like, 2:50:32.560 --> 2:50:34.320 I ain't even familiar with this dude, I don't know 2:50:34.440 --> 2:50:36.760 his face, and then you can instantly respond before you 2:50:36.840 --> 2:50:40.920 even get a chance to see nigga.

He went on swear in the 2:50:55.400 --> 2:50:58.520 morning and responded. And there's no part of me that 2:50:59.360 --> 2:51:01.640 harvards any negative feelings. I love that me and Jim 2:51:01.720 --> 2:51:04.560 have texted each other, and that's cool because the culture, 2:51:05.240 --> 2:51:10.080 the culture, the culture need to see Shannon Shaw and 2:51:10.200 --> 2:51:13.040 Mike Epps in that picture together after they was at 2:51:13.080 --> 2:51:15.800 each other top on Instagram. Because we're so used to 2:51:16.120 --> 2:51:18.360 hope they beefed out. We know what's next.

And it's just like it's different 2:51:25.600 --> 2:51:27.520 with this though, because they was at each other top 2:51:27.640 --> 2:51:33.240 about jokes and some foolishness with me and with different people, 2:51:33.320 --> 2:51:35.000 it was like it was in the name of like, man, 2:51:35.040 --> 2:51:37.240 we're trying to make this culture better for everybody. So 2:51:37.800 --> 2:51:41.080 it was just that y'all know nothing. Nothing ain't gonna 2:51:41.200 --> 2:51:45.720 change if we don't make our mind up that we 2:51:45.879 --> 2:51:49.640 have a problem with how certain things are gone. So 2:51:49.760 --> 2:51:52.040 let's just acknowledge that. Because I've been doing a lot 2:51:52.120 --> 2:51:54.720 of these shows lately and a lot of the topics 2:51:54.879 --> 2:51:59.080 tend to be about d one. Could you have approached 2:51:59.120 --> 2:52:01.360 this differently? And how could you have approach this differently? 2:52:01.680 --> 2:52:02.959 And at the end of the day, I be kind 2:52:02.959 --> 2:52:06.000 of wondering, like, Yo, before we conclude, we need to 2:52:06.480 --> 2:52:09.920 acknowledge do y'all even feel like anything should change? Because 2:52:09.920 --> 2:52:12.000 if you don't, I'm not gonna knock you. I will 2:52:12.040 --> 2:52:15.040 still love you like equally. But if y'all don't feel 2:52:15.080 --> 2:52:17.199 like anything should change, See, I don't think Joe Bundy 2:52:17.200 --> 2:52:20.800 feels like anything should change. Therefore, he had like this 2:52:21.680 --> 2:52:25.320 negativity towards me when he like start bringing my name 2:52:25.440 --> 2:52:27.080 up on his show. That I was like, Oh, I 2:52:27.200 --> 2:52:30.720 get it. You and I are fundamentally on different pigeons. 2:52:31.160 --> 2:52:33.760 You don't think anything should change inside of hip? How 2:52:34.200 --> 2:52:36.480 I think that there are multiple things that could improve 2:52:36.560 --> 2:52:39.160 about the state of our culture, you know. And that's 2:52:39.200 --> 2:52:41.480 the thing that we got to personally acknowledge that at 2:52:41.480 --> 2:52:44.000 a certain point, do we think anything should change? And 2:52:44.040 --> 2:52:45.880 if we do, then how do we think we should 2:52:45.879 --> 2:52:47.920 go about that change? Or is it like what my 2:52:48.000 --> 2:52:50.800 brother said earlier, Like, man, I think some people just gone, 2:52:50.840 --> 2:52:51.480 they just lost it. 2:52:51.680 --> 2:52:54.120 Yeah, I think she thinks should change, but out of 2:52:54.600 --> 2:52:56.840 accept that they probably won't. 2:52:57.080 --> 2:53:01.600 Yeah, I think should change order order happened when it's 2:53:01.640 --> 2:53:04.920 supposed to happen. Like I can't make it happen today. 2:53:05.040 --> 2:53:09.119 I wish you got got in you right, You're right, 2:53:09.200 --> 2:53:11.400 but that doesn't mean that. That doesn't mean that today 2:53:11.440 --> 2:53:14.000 I can go heal the hood and make everybody be 2:53:14.080 --> 2:53:17.240 at peace. I wish I knew how what I'm doing. 2:53:17.360 --> 2:53:19.240 Don't do it. I can't. I can't. 2:53:21.400 --> 2:53:22.720 If I can't control it today. 2:53:23.280 --> 2:53:26.120 What I'm doing right by being me, I can't do it. 2:53:26.400 --> 2:53:28.240 You know what I'm saying, Like I go speak at 2:53:28.280 --> 2:53:29.120 schools and stuff. 2:53:29.200 --> 2:53:29.800 I do all that. 2:53:30.000 --> 2:53:31.640 And you know, I got a couple of guys that 2:53:32.040 --> 2:53:33.600 on my phone. I just tell them straight up what 2:53:33.720 --> 2:53:36.119 it is. This is what it is. He's on Instagram. 2:53:36.240 --> 2:53:39.359 If I can't do it, I can't. To me, I can't. 2:53:41.440 --> 2:53:46.520 Force I'm gonna get it to who won't. I can't 2:53:46.600 --> 2:53:48.280 force it because I know it forcing to get it, 2:53:48.400 --> 2:53:50.480 forcing to get your situation. 2:53:51.440 --> 2:53:53.320 You're gonna give it to who wanted. And based on 2:53:53.560 --> 2:53:57.400 something in the Bible, I read something right quickly, so 2:53:57.480 --> 2:54:02.000 there's a scripture from the Bible instead of us giving 2:54:02.040 --> 2:54:07.000 it to who wanted. Brother checked this out. So Jesus 2:54:07.040 --> 2:54:09.080 went out to the lake shore again and he taught 2:54:09.120 --> 2:54:11.040 the crowds that were coming to him. Right. He was 2:54:11.080 --> 2:54:13.400 out there teaching. As he walked along, he saw doing 2:54:13.440 --> 2:54:16.680 that Levi. He was the son of Alfaez sitting at 2:54:16.720 --> 2:54:19.440 his tax collectors. But he was a tax collector. Jesus 2:54:19.480 --> 2:54:23.120 told him, following me, be my disciple, Jesus said, and 2:54:23.280 --> 2:54:26.959 Levi got up and started following him. Later, Levi invited 2:54:27.040 --> 2:54:30.400 Jesus and his disciples to his crib as dinner guests, 2:54:30.840 --> 2:54:34.520 along with many tax collectors and other sinners. There were 2:54:34.560 --> 2:54:38.119 many people, many sinners and street people like this who 2:54:38.160 --> 2:54:41.680 followed Jesus. But when the teachers of the religious law 2:54:41.720 --> 2:54:44.760 the religious people saw this, they saw Jesus eating with 2:54:44.840 --> 2:54:48.560 tax collectors and sinners, they asked, why is he eating 2:54:48.680 --> 2:54:51.120 with such skum? Why he eating with people like that. 2:54:51.520 --> 2:54:55.720 When Jesus overheard them talk him, he told them healthy 2:54:55.800 --> 2:55:00.440 people don't need a die. Sick people do have come. 2:55:00.600 --> 2:55:03.039 Not to call those who already think they are righteous, 2:55:03.640 --> 2:55:08.200 but those who know that they are sinners. So the 2:55:08.240 --> 2:55:10.600 people that's out here that's like, man, I'm fed up. Man, 2:55:10.800 --> 2:55:12.920 I'm already a street dude for life. I'm like this. 2:55:13.000 --> 2:55:15.200 I done called a by there already. I dropped out 2:55:15.200 --> 2:55:18.840 of high school. Da da da. Jesus is like you 2:55:18.959 --> 2:55:22.000 exactly what I'm looking for, You exactly who I'm trying 2:55:22.000 --> 2:55:23.320 to be cool with you. I'm trying to build with 2:55:23.440 --> 2:55:24.800 you because I'm trying to get you to see that 2:55:24.840 --> 2:55:27.280 there's nothing that you could do it will disqualify this 2:55:27.400 --> 2:55:29.800 in the love of God. So with that being said, 2:55:30.680 --> 2:55:32.960 the philosophy of I'm gonna give it to who want it, 2:55:33.920 --> 2:55:36.280 Like that goes against what Jesus said. Of course that's 2:55:36.360 --> 2:55:38.400 easy give it to the people who want it. But 2:55:38.800 --> 2:55:42.320 the people who need it, who you were blessed to 2:55:42.440 --> 2:55:45.920 be skilled enough to reach them. Ninety nine percent of 2:55:45.959 --> 2:55:48.440 the world can't reach them, but you could because of 2:55:48.480 --> 2:55:51.160 the unique gifts and life stories that you got. Man, 2:55:51.200 --> 2:55:52.800 you gotta do that. Even if they don't want it, 2:55:53.120 --> 2:55:55.280 they need it, And that's what I'm wanting, bro. 2:55:55.640 --> 2:55:57.480 Yeah, but I ain't gonna force them. I'm gonna do 2:55:57.520 --> 2:56:00.560 it right here, like bro, bringing you on, rang people on. 2:56:00.720 --> 2:56:02.280 So people want to get it, get it right here. 2:56:02.320 --> 2:56:04.280 I ain't gonna be out trying to do all that, 2:56:05.200 --> 2:56:08.680 like just forcing it. Yeah you can't, yeah, cause it don't. 2:56:09.280 --> 2:56:10.440 It never the same with me. 2:56:10.600 --> 2:56:11.880 I mean, if I wanted to it, I can go 2:56:11.879 --> 2:56:13.480 to qu in Atlanta. I can go to q See 2:56:13.480 --> 2:56:15.720 Studios right now and just wait for whichever all this 2:56:15.840 --> 2:56:18.120 pull up first and be like, dam I'm about to 2:56:18.320 --> 2:56:21.440 just minister to this person right now. Hey brother, you 2:56:21.480 --> 2:56:23.120 could do better. Man, You about to go in there 2:56:23.120 --> 2:56:29.920 and wrap Yeah, Like you can't do that, man, And 2:56:30.000 --> 2:56:32.680 that's why I don't do it. I don't do that. 2:56:32.879 --> 2:56:35.440 Yeah, yeah, like push it out like because you pushing 2:56:35.520 --> 2:56:37.720 out some deep ship and like, I don't disagree with 2:56:38.160 --> 2:56:40.280 nothing ship you're saying because it's your perspective. 2:56:40.560 --> 2:56:42.240 I'm just trying to get you to see like a 2:56:42.400 --> 2:56:47.280 different perspective and know and and I appreciate it. I 2:56:47.720 --> 2:56:49.360 appreciate it. I think that these are the type of 2:56:49.440 --> 2:56:52.120 convos people lives are gonna be changed. Though it's count 2:56:52.360 --> 2:56:54.600 I've never said that in the interview before. I don't 2:56:54.600 --> 2:56:58.640 cry the interviews. I didn't reveal real personal stuff before. 2:56:59.000 --> 2:57:00.880 I didn't been like I said Breakfast Club that was 2:57:00.920 --> 2:57:02.960 on my Mount Rushmore. You heard me at Breakfast Club, 2:57:03.080 --> 2:57:05.120 like for me from ten years ago. I was on 2:57:05.200 --> 2:57:08.240 the BT site from ten years ago and Charlomagne tweeted, Man, 2:57:08.280 --> 2:57:10.040 this dude, d one, spit it. You heard me in 2:57:10.120 --> 2:57:12.320 twenty fourteen. I was like, oh, I be at Breakfast 2:57:12.320 --> 2:57:14.480 Club in the next couple of months. It took ten years. 2:57:15.280 --> 2:57:18.400 I finally went on there two weeks ago. When I'm 2:57:18.480 --> 2:57:22.320 on there, I'm like, man, this right here, this is everything, 2:57:23.000 --> 2:57:25.720 and what God told me was d this is a 2:57:25.800 --> 2:57:28.280 blessing and I'm glad you feel good right now, but 2:57:28.400 --> 2:57:30.720 there's more work to be done. So don't feel like, oh, 2:57:30.760 --> 2:57:33.280 you made it now because you reached what was at 2:57:33.320 --> 2:57:35.400 the top of your mountain. In terms of that cause, 2:57:35.400 --> 2:57:37.720 although people got blessed by that Breakfast Club interview, I 2:57:37.800 --> 2:57:40.440 know people been blessed by it. This interview right here, 2:57:40.600 --> 2:57:43.520 I could feel it, bro, just what we talk about 2:57:43.560 --> 2:57:45.920 in the perspectives we are. People are gonna be blessed 2:57:45.920 --> 2:57:47.680 by this because at the end of the day, I'm 2:57:47.680 --> 2:57:49.800 walking out of here feeling like, look, I had a 2:57:49.879 --> 2:57:52.720 mess scream years ago. You know, my man DJ Hectic 2:57:52.760 --> 2:57:54.360 real cool with you. We meet each other and we 2:57:54.440 --> 2:57:56.520 seen each other in the streets before this. We definitely 2:57:56.520 --> 2:57:59.200 gonna dap off his love. I see baby Jane, you 2:57:59.280 --> 2:58:01.760 know at my man mister Jay Hills podcast, matter the 2:58:01.800 --> 2:58:03.480 fact that you came to be on that. We see 2:58:03.560 --> 2:58:06.280 y'all ad the YouTube event down here. It's love. We're 2:58:06.320 --> 2:58:09.560 gonna hug you know what I'm saying, But that's probably it. 2:58:10.120 --> 2:58:12.120 I see you, man, you know what I mean. We 2:58:12.560 --> 2:58:15.040 same thing, bro, it's love. We know some of the 2:58:15.120 --> 2:58:18.840 same people. Right but after this, Bro, when I see 2:58:18.920 --> 2:58:22.800 y'all or it's an extra tight hug. It's look, make 2:58:22.840 --> 2:58:24.880 sure y'all got my number, because if y'all need something, 2:58:25.000 --> 2:58:27.000 hit my line and I'm gonna tap it with y'all 2:58:27.040 --> 2:58:27.480 and a plug. 2:58:27.600 --> 2:58:27.760 Y'all. 2:58:27.800 --> 2:58:29.680 When I see boy, that was hard they interview you did. 2:58:29.959 --> 2:58:31.520 That's why I like that mixtape. You know what I'm 2:58:31.520 --> 2:58:34.080 saying That that business move. It feels like a different 2:58:34.080 --> 2:58:38.680 connection now, all because of some communication. That's the power 2:58:38.760 --> 2:58:42.560 of communication, man, respect So hopefully the culture could see 2:58:42.600 --> 2:58:45.680 that and not hopefully a lot of people go see that, 2:58:46.120 --> 2:58:48.320 but sometime they could be seeing something and be like 2:58:48.400 --> 2:58:49.680 this moving to me, but I don't even know what 2:58:49.800 --> 2:58:51.760 it is. I'm telling y'all what it is. This is 2:58:51.840 --> 2:58:54.520 the power of communicating with people who y'all might have 2:58:54.640 --> 2:58:57.480 different viewpoints, but y'all can all learn from each other 2:58:57.720 --> 2:59:00.760 and y'all all looking to grow. Hopefully, you gotta have 2:59:01.320 --> 2:59:03.840 these type of moments. If you just say I ain't 2:59:03.879 --> 2:59:05.360 on what he on, I ain't know what she on 2:59:05.879 --> 2:59:07.800 forget them and then close your mind. 2:59:08.000 --> 2:59:10.760 Yeah, you can't close your mind, because everybody got valid 2:59:10.800 --> 2:59:12.000 points in her moments. 2:59:12.040 --> 2:59:14.760 You know what I'm saying from their own perspective. You 2:59:14.800 --> 2:59:18.200 know what I'm saying the facts. Bro. This this, this 2:59:18.280 --> 2:59:19.920 has been a blessing, man, And I ain't trying to 2:59:19.959 --> 2:59:21.840 cut it. We go ten more hours if y'all want to, 2:59:22.000 --> 2:59:24.480 But I'm just saying right now, like I'm just feeling, 2:59:24.560 --> 2:59:28.360 like you know, when I play sports, like it reaches 2:59:28.440 --> 2:59:31.640 a point to where when the clock here zero, you 2:59:31.800 --> 2:59:35.760 be like, boy, I gave it all I had, so 2:59:35.959 --> 2:59:38.520 we lose or draw. That was everything I had in 2:59:38.640 --> 2:59:41.400 me and I'm at peace because of that. That's how 2:59:41.440 --> 2:59:44.760 I feel right now in this interview. More importantly, that's 2:59:44.800 --> 2:59:46.280 how I want us to all feel at the end 2:59:46.320 --> 2:59:48.720 of his life. Bro.
