Three, we got three guests. They all lessons. Uh. 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.160 One is from a phenomenal group that has one of 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.079 the one of the best records in hip hop. Ever 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:21.520 that doesn't live the damn I'm blowing up. Then then 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.040 we got another brother who's who's here, you know, Brooklyn's 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.320 own you know what I'm saying in the zone, and 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.160 we put them together. We figured these are both politically people, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.880 people that I want to speak for the coaching other 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.240 than these brothers, these three brothers in front of us. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.119 There's only like a t I I would like other 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.240 than them. And if you don't know who I'm talking about, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:47.799 my dead press and motherfucker Tyler, well we make it up. Yeah. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.600 Now you mean, like all three of you guys. I 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.760 want to ask this question. Due first, let me ask 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.400 do you even consider yourself conscious rappers? You know, I'm 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.560 just gonna start off, and why why not kicking in? 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.959 You know, I stay away from that conscious uh kind 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.760 of title leaning as a matter of fact, no boxes, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:13.359 because um, to insinuate that I'm consciously, that you're you're 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.680 not conscious, and I think that that's sucked up. I 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.920 think there's super consciousness and people in places, people in 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.919 places that people don't consider what they were called conscious. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:32.240 So so yeah, like funk that in. Yeah, yeah, I 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.240 mean same way. It's like you do what you do, 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.880 you grow, you learn, and people try to put it 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.520 in a box. You know what I mean. Let me 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:41.920 make some lowist you to be the first thing to 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:48.920 bring camp buch you to drink caps we agree on 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:58.000 you talk about talking about sponsor. I started to, but 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.119 I had just take the opportunity. Yeah no, but yeah, 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.440 the box, you know what I mean. We're figuring it out. 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.040 But I mean sometimes we're gonna we're gonna do things 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.440 that's political in nature, right, We're gonna do things that's personal, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.120 spiritual is really all connected. So you know what I'm saying, 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.440 like everything connected. I mean, yeah, I agree with my brothers. Um, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.880 we've been dealing with this for a long time and artists, 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.320 consciousness is awareness if you're aware of what you do 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.360 when you're conscious. You know, nor He's made records where 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.039 that might not because it's considered conscious wrap. But he's 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.480 aware of what he's saying on those records. Um. And 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.000 I think with consciousness in the in the marketing sense, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.200 it gets convoluted because they't not wrong with being conscious 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.880 what I'm saying. But and then a lot of artists 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.520 that are conscious that are not getting the credit for it, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.359 that do have those records on the album. But you know, 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.240 hip hop is marketed in a way where you know, 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.479 sex selves find themselves. Bangster is themselves um wrapping about 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.880 money and and and decking itselves, especially the people who 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.719 grew up ain't had nothing um and so they used 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.000 the term consciousness. I think you see a pushback from 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.440 artists like their present myself, not that we don't embrace 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.479 the conscious nature, but the pushback as artists because the 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.040 artist nature is to not be boxed in. At first, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.080 it was kind of like they were saying, backpack artists 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.200 were like the conscious msees and then backpacking I started 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.800 before the back page Like, but I feel like I 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.320 feel like they destwined in both together. Does anybody trying 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.839 back to somewhere where ye For me? You know, for me, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.240 it's like it's like the message, and and and and 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.080 then Carress one for me personally, Carross and rock Him, 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.080 and then the backpack Are, which I was a part 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.159 of the Rockets movement. But there was a lot of 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.640 cats who was in the backpack Are who wasn't conscious, 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.520 you know, high and Mighty. You know, they were making 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.240 records about porn. They wasn't making conscious records. But because 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.599 they were associated with it independent my state, people automatically assume, 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.200 like a slum village, they records be very sexual exactly. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.400 And Jay Dill to rap about big chains and big 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.080 trucks and all that. But because he's making music that 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.279 feels like a certain type of feels like tropical quest 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.679 or feels like a certain sonically, people automatically assume that 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.600 it's got to be positive all the time. You know, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.240 it's funny when you say that, because when I think 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.719 of like a tropical quest, I think a fight is 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.119 not being a conscious guy, like like I think a tip, 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.360 you know, like because he was always like signing the 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:30.160 more positive like what I'm saying. All right, So um uh, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.400 But when you get called a conscious rap because obviously, 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.760 um that's what a lot of people are. You wait, wait, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.120 you think being a conscious rapper automatically means you have 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.400 to be a positive artist. That's what I was going 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.280 to ask, But I don't think. I don't think necessarily 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:50.680 because that's to a certain exting should be conscious all 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.160 up when you're trying to put a box on it on. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.400 So what do you do with a record like America? 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.599 If I check that which is wait wait wait, this 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:04.960 is America. You said about who tricked Trick? That was society. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.560 Trick went on for none of that Trick was on 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.200 for doping. You know what I mean? This out asked 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.280 the Shaken TRAINA. It wasn't, it was, So what do 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.320 you do with that record? When that you can learn 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.200 from anybody? But doesn't anything that's real quick though, I'm 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.240 sorry started to stick. But in general, like for example, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.000 Trick outside of Miami isn't considered like like a litric 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.000 artist for us in Miami is like the jay Z 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.600 of Miami. Right, I gotta disagree with you, No, I 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.880 mean you're not from Miami. I'm talking about but were 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.400 even into New York looked that trick, We said you 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.200 it took it off from you at culturally he means 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.840 something from from lyrically he was lyrical to what he 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.240 was something because it spoke to us in Miami, right, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.840 and you guys met in Tallahassee. Yeah, we met in Florida. Ok. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.120 I was down here going to Florida and the university 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:54.360 and this dude both originally from Florido, from Brooklyn, Brooklyn. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.080 That's what you both from Brooklyn, But I google did 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:04.480 it sucked me up, like say, Jeff had bop in Brooklyn. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.360 Really like like when we decided that we were doing 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.080 migrate from Tallahassee up north and well that's when we Boklyn. 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:16.240 They used to come to my bookstore before. Yeah, how 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.920 was it being in loud on loud? Like he wasn't 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.200 on the whack loud like you was on you know 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.200 what I'm trying to say, Like you know, there was 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:29.280 the beginning. It was a street team. It was loud. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.839 They had pun tan mall deep, y'all, y'all. It was 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.880 a part of the loud loud We came in when 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.360 that was our vision from Florida, Florida. That's that's exactly 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:46.559 the exactly and we we we had but we was 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:51.520 like now it was like the same vibe we was 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.040 on and we just made a choice like we're gonna 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.679 go to New York and we and you know, we 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.160 see what to do, right, But when we got when 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.520 we got to New York, I think we had like 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:09.480 nine hundred dollars maybe first we met Lord J That's 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.800 how we got connected. But it was that was the 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.360 label that we saw in Florida and we went through 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.559 me and all all. We met Russell Simmons like a 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.200 bunch of cats. Russell was like, y'all n is too violent. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.600 At that time, he wrote, and we grow so much. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:36.200 Can you believe that ship? That's crazy? But yeah, right 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.079 he signed Then he signed up black Poet. He don't 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.040 want to have the poetic Yeah, yeah, it was. It 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.160 was a beautiful time to be um in that in 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.920 that space. We grew from it a lot. We definitely 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.200 knew what we wanted to do and where we wanted 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.480 to be, but we didn't know how much it would 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.040 change us to be around artists of that caliber and 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.960 trying to make our music u up to that standard. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.280 We were like, all right, we're gonna be here. We 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.559 got something to say. But then we got involved in 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.920 the process and that really grew us up a lot 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.319 as artists. Really was. It was it a was it 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.280 getting different when when Loud be hard to become corporate 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.240 or you all started to get troubles before that, because 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.920 I remember me, you know, we we would like you 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.160 to keep it a hunt. I'm me being on death jam. 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.600 And then when when we could smoke in the building, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.760 and then there was a certain time when you they 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.400 kicked the haircut man away, they kicked the dice man away, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.040 and they kicked the weed guy out the building, and 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.360 then the building just became different and it was corporate now. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.760 It was people from Vivindi walking through and I remember 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:42.040 Loud going through that process actually before death. So, um, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:49.559 the check start missing, man, it was, it was. It 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.360 was a whole lot. We was learning, like like one day, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.360 you know, you were waiting and they got a reason 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.160 to check. Ain't ready and all that. So one day 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.160 we during was up there and they all dirty some money, 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:12.760 so dirty and right right, So Dirk with Gert so 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.199 he was so he was in the in the office 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.400 and um, they didn't have his check. So he was like, well, 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.559 I'm taking something out of here. He just started carrying 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.640 the speakers out. He because we had one of them 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.480 sound rooms too, like where you listen because he was 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.600 never signed the Yeah. Yeah, so it was just little 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.360 things that we was learning. We got to work with 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.040 pun just being on the same label and you know 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.640 what I mean, different things like that. But it changed 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.800 that that that error was dark because like it allowed 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.160 that to happen, like you could collapse. It felt like 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.640 a team, you know what I mean, And nobody wanted 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.319 on the fund ship. It was like everybody wants everybody 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.400 to win, and we kind of was. We could merge 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.160 our ship in different ways, you know what I mean. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.600 But then when the checks was listening, it broke down, 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:02.720 changing the corportation and wrap, put a veil and stop 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.920 the balance because there were some checks and balances that 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.400 had to happen. Like you said, artists was running thin 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.360 labels directly to the president oftus and Steveen in the office. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.839 Like after that happened, you couldn't even do that. Remember 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:22.800 the security you couldn't have Yeah, yeah, So really it 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.559 started being bureaucracy instead of like hip hop. You know 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:33.079 what I'm saying that um because rockers, if to me, 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.120 tell me if I correct me from more t D 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.400 kind of seems like to put together if Rawckets would 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.080 have did the right thing. I think it's TV maybe 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.360 like the Rouckets, but from a street perspective like Rockets 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:56.440 and Together, I feel like t D might be more 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.040 leaning towards like, you know, smart music. Then when I 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.000 say I don't know one of conscious music, kindred to 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.920 me is leaning towards that side. I learned something when 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.240 I listen to Kidney Now, I know what you mean, 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:13.360 but his backstory is is official and like Rockets stage Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.240 all that lucous um. You know. I got a lot 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:17.840 of love for Jared and Brian, but they didn't come 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.400 from the culture. You know, they came from Brown University. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.760 They were outsiders of the culture. They loved it. They 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.160 loved music. Okay, what's my universe? Browns where they met 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.040 Jared and Bryan from Rockets School school? Yeah yeah and 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.880 kay yes yeah. They they came into it with a 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.319 business plan, but being fans of the music, you know 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.920 what I'm saying, And they saw they had a vision. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.239 Their vision was U. They saw a hole in the marketplace, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.680 Um Provinyl and and you know the Independent you know Savamsa, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.120 Deeks and Metalis to the Black Stars, you know, company 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.199 flow stuff like that. Um, that stuff was really bubbling. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.559 It had his own culture. Really, LP was now we 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.880 run the Jewels. Really he was. He was kind of 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.000 leading the charge on that. And I feel like they 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.199 kind of piggyback on an LPs movement and helped to 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.040 grow bigger. They brought bigger checks in. Um. But I 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.599 think that um, you know, they got caught up like 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.320 with Phararell montch record dropped and and Big Door Pit 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.880 Bulls was on it heavy playing in on the radio. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.880 The Monstrap Rockets went from independent as fuck to let's 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:29.640 get these records on the radio do It was kind 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.680 of like that, you know, there wasn't the original business model. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.280 It wasn't They were signing artists like they signed Last Emperor. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.480 But then I remember like they try to make him 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.360 go to the gym or something like it. Remember that 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.120 he did go to the gym. No, he got got 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.640 a buffer second. Then they then they signed g Wrap, 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.600 but he had a record jagged edge like the de 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.400 Wrap jagget edge record, which on paper, I guess makes 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.320 sense if you're trying to create a radio hit, but 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.320 that's not an honest way to make music. What I'm 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.360 saying so world no no, so you know, um there 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.720 was another there was. They had signed Coco Coco B's 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.680 but I remember the artist like, we had free rein 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:09.320 me most company flow. We were delivering records, the records 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.000 we wanted to make. The next after Farrell blew up 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.400 and Simon says, the artist on Rookis didn't have that 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.600 free rein anymore and it he's starting to become a 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.440 Simon sets started working. Little Kim actually jumped on the 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.680 record and the actually bunk it. It was it was 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.480 method Red jumped on it. It was big. I mean, 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.160 I was I want to see Motley Cruperford last year 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.560 and Tommy Lee does his drum solo to sign the 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.360 sets for me, Big Me and the kid grew up 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.080 in the eighties to see Motley Crude performing a record 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.680 that came out on the label that I was on. 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.280 You know what I'm saying, I'm like, okay, this is 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.000 this is one of the biggest records of all times. 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.280 They catch a crazy lawsuit for there they did. They 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:50.600 did Rockish year signed and that was the hip hop. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.600 So now most steppers body of the nigger that got 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.800 deported and undeported, which I don't think you could get 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:04.520 deported out of America. You can't get kicked out of America. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.400 NI get out of America. Not not born in America. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.280 If you're born in America, you can't get kicked out 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.880 of America. But yes, they would kick everybody else out. Yeah, 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:20.600 if you're geta he was going underboard to But you 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.920 know what's funny about Most is then what did happened 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.800 during the Trump earraw with Most? Yeah, we'll see what Most. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.520 I think with the situation where him was more of 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:33.280 a situation where he was in South Africa. He was 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.000 booked to do a show and he had a problem 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.240 with the promoter had an issue and he for whatever reason, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:39.920 he didn't do the show. And I think the promoter 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.240 was trying to cover his ass. So that's if you 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.200 trace that story back to Pretoria. Is a promoter wasn't 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.400 Mostly put out a statement. It was a show promoter 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.280 to said most deaf is banned from the country, right 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.680 from from America, which is not that can't be promoter 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.360 said that most They never said that. Yeah, but he 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.280 stayed though he didn't come back to him know he 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.200 was he he did have some passport issues in South Africa. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.440 But those are issues that he had in South Africa 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.080 preventing it from traveling period. Yeah, and he saw that 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.160 he worked out. We've been doing a lot of shows 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.879 this year has been been good times.

Like you know what I'm saying. 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.679 Like hip hop gave us the platform, always breathed it um, 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.200 I was able to hear care ass one who wasn't 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.040 considered conscious at all, but tell it exactly what it was. 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.560 We were there was a street paid for us to 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.840 say this is what it is, before there was a podium. 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.960 You gotta be orator, y'all. Love Malcolm, you know, love 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.680 you know, love Kuam and CROOMA Love My My my 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:38.040 leaders but man like hip hop put it in playing 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.440 proletarian English. That's the term that came from Fred Hampton 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.359 seening you had the Black Panther Party. If anybody know, 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.200 playing proletarian it just means the language of the people. 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.800 And so at the end of the day, when you 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.000 when it really comes, when the conversation really comes down 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.600 to it and all the shenanigans away from it and 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.320 you really talk real talk, it sounds like what we 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.560 were saying. We say, it's not it's not um I 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:06.080 mean what we the music we make is not. I mean, 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.680 you can call it unapologetically black. We are just who 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:12.280 we are, authentic people talking about what's really happening. I 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.240 guess the others it comes off as this blackness. But 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.560 if you were in my shoes, you would say what 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:19.560 I say to you know what I mean. It's just 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.080 a human conversation and that and I think that's where hipopulated. 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.280 It's not that way now, um, But at one point, 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.240 at the point that we knew that we wanted to 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.800 be writing words down, we didn't even have to think 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.720 about what it be on the radio or we were like, 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.040 people just need to hear what the funk we We 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.720 just want to say ship and have people hear what 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.359 that is. It didn't have a agenda, you know what 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.600 I'm saying. Where music is and it's just based on values, 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.000 you know what I mean, Like what you value? Like 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.080 you know, you could have some success doing something that 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.359 somebody else tell you is it's okay, you know what 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.639 I mean? But do that feel like success to you? 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:01.760 You know what I mean? Or do you did you 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.320 come when you had your opportunity? Like what what did 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.879 you do with it? And for me that that was 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.080 more important than anything else, you know what I mean. 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.199 I know what I had to say, I know how 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.200 I feel. I know it's not being said, and I 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.240 know where I'm front, you know what I mean. So 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:19.920 it's about rapping our values. And then I think why 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.760 because I don't think we was the best produces, the 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.359 best rappers or nothing like that. But I feel like 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:30.120 it's such a lack of real ship, real real ship, 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:34.520 that it stay it stand out. You know, twenty years later, 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.800 it's still bigg in the hip hop because we act, 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.000 because we act like in the theater of it, we 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.320 act like it's all about that, you know what I 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.760 mean when we like, we don't have kids, we don't 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.280 live real lives, so we wanted to just be take 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:53.280 the veil off. You know, that's the best music. That's 0:22:53.320 --> 0:23:14.160 Stevie's best music. That's little what that Christmas? I guess 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.879 his dive and and you know, you know what the 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.520 cool ship is Like I'm not comparing you guys to 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.159 like preachers or pastors or whatever, but that was the 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:26.320 that was the ship about like, uh, well, scared people 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.399 from church. Was the pastor priests holier than that. So 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.440 so when you see a person that's being perfect, you 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:34.400 don't want to go there. When you see a person 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:36.720 be regular, when you see a person that can kicks 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.879 some novel and still smoke a blunt with you, that 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.680 it is just always attractive. It's always easy to get 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.680 the information to prove because it's like, all right, cool, 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.240 no matter how old he is or how different we are, 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.760 and like we can always connect with that. I just 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.680 try to add on just as an m C. You know, 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.000 I got with Stick's saying about you know, he was 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.720 being humble and saying we're not the best rappers and everything, 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:58.560 But I just got to say, as a student of 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:02.680 m S no, I M yeah, like and not you know, 0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.359 with the production too. I know y'all making beats. I 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:10.040 know y'all like like, but but hip making making music. 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:15.480 That's what I'm saying, Like, like, I appreciate their job 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.680 is to be humble, That's fine. My job is to 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:19.720 bring my brother up. And you know what I'm saying. 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:23.320 Like me firstly, what Death Press meant for me as 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.080 an artist because we you know, we started our careers 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.040 at the same time, and they kept me on my 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:33.840 fucking toys like yeah, make me just mix, yeah, I 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:35.879 told like. And when you think about this, there's a 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:37.879 lot of great music that that these brothers are put out, 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:39.880 from mix tapes to albums. But when you think about 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.199 the impact of Let's Get Free and what what they 0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.280 were talking about, like students they were studying, it was 0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:47.680 like a plan. It's like, okay, we're not we we 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:51.640 we When you listen to those styles and the when 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.080 you say you were studying mob deep in Woutang exactly. 0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.040 You can hear that on that right. But it's very 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:02.000 clear direct fighting plane what you say with with with 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:04.960 with the chairman said like, um, you know when you're 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.680 saying it like they were saying very these schools don't 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.880 teach your ship. You know what I'm saying, Like saying 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:14.960 that like be healthy is very direct, like planned out, pointed, 0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:19.960 programmed the messages, like the message is important. Um, And 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.239 everybody has agendas, you know what I'm saying. Like if 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:23.800 somebody tell you I don't have no agenda, that's a 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.879 liar everybody. But what is your agenda? Is your agenda? 0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:30.600 Compassion is a justice? As a freedom? Is it? Is? It? 0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:33.320 Is it? You know, family, what's your agenda? And the 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:41.320 agenda was so so clear that guy were I feel 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:43.159 like a complete asset. I didn't know that you produced 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:52.520 that record. I'm such and that record something that I 0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:55.320 think Stick is an uncertain hero as a producer in 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.320 general and as an ear. And I'm talking about untrained 0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.440 when I met him to say, I came to Tallahassee, Florida, 0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.160 trying to go to Florida and m University. It ain't 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.840 burn it hard, but it's burning matched. My suit though 0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.359 was good. Um, I want to say, and yours you 0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:10.960 should have you should have burned that. He just started 0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:15.040 back burning. It's a secret. But but look, I gotta 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.600 say I met him and his uh like as coming 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:22.040 from New York. I never really I thought I would 0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:28.080 meet someone and Tallahassee, Florida who had certain strong hip 0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:32.240 hop fundamentals that would move me in the way that 0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.920 I felt why you thought you people in Florida. And 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.280 I don't want to say that. I don't want to 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:45.440 trying to say that. I'm not trying to say it 0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:48.879 like that. No, it's not said I'm killing them seeds 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:53.600 from Tallahassee them and so that just from the mental taste, 0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:55.040 I'm not trying to say that. I mean now, I'm 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.440 just saying I didn't expect it. I'm talking about to 0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:00.359 kill it him like rock him flows like the rock 0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.280 king flows Tom Tom. And but when he took him 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.680 to the studio and told me about how he saw 0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:07.840 music and how he heard music, it was like, listen 0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:10.240 to Miles Davis talked to music and I'm not blowing 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.159 your head up, kid, I'm just telling you it was 0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:17.199 cool because as a brother we learned from each other. 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.119 And then we listened to the same record and we 0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.960 we man shopping man still shopping still, but he was 0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:25.520 doing things with that EPs plus was turned into the 0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:27.720 s R ten that made me say, RISD is not 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:32.720 doing this. Nobody in my deep having. Yeah, he heard had, 0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.399 but he wasn't doing having. He was doing stick right. 0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.320 That's what made hip hop. Was the last record on 0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.560 the album that we made from Let's Get Free, because 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:42.440 there was like, I ain't got nothing for the radio 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.200 and we said, what's that want y'all want to saying 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.000 head high, which was the hook that I said, exactly 0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:49.879 like that playing making a joke, but it was his 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:53.240 beat made in the closet on the aps and he 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.280 just moved and ship like my own and wasn't and 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.200 and it and to him it was a joke, but 0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:01.040 it came from you and years and years and years 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.680 of training. Yeah, yeah, making that You don't see that 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.360 you make that sound from you know what I'm saying. 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.920 Even from Florida, right, we used to hear the car 0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:16.800 driver about with it with the trump yea. At that time, 0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.880 that was like, oh, right, and it was like Florida 0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.119 culture more than anybody else, right, So that was to me, 0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:25.360 it was like the last it was the last thing 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.760 we had. We had made Wolves, we had made Police 0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.359 State everything. We said what we want to say, right, 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.520 and then everybody's like, you need a single, and like 0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:36.320 he said, it was more like I started just thinking, 0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:38.840 like when I was growing up, what was the most 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:43.520 um middle fingership, you know what I mean? It sound wise, 0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:45.800 you know what I mean? And that's what I thought, 0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:49.800 like the obnoxious bass. You know, it's crazy about saying 0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:52.160 that we made the blast because the label was like, 0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:55.120 y'all don't have a single, and the whole thing was like, 0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.400 all right, well, I'm gonna just teaching. Niggs had to 0:28:57.400 --> 0:28:59.800 pronounce my name, but that record wasn't on that. We 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:01.640 we said what we said, what I had to say. 0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:03.200 I texted what he had to say. We turn the 0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:05.240 record in like this is the record, you know, and 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.680 it was like you need another one.

They're like, we 0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:33.960 got hip hop, but we want to make a remix. 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.800 So they went and got all these producers and lo 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:42.360 and behold they brought Kanye and so Kanye West came 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:46.280 to the studio and we made a remix of hip 0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:49.000 hop which is on Let's Get Free as well. It's 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:52.280 called Bigger than hip Hop and he wrote the hook 0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:54.440 on it with us and all that.

I wish 0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:23.880 we when we went on to y'all were the new 0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:26.520 niggas on the tour, y'all was the rookies and the crew. 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.640 But we went on that tour, y'all would perform hip hop. 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.600 And then after everybody went on and it don't matter 0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.040 if it was common a gang star, Big Daddy Kane 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.480 whoever was the guest. After the routes finished their Big song. 0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.880 We all came back, everybody on that bill and did 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:44.440 hip hop again every night. And that's how Dave Chappelle 0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:47.720 got with us and say, yo, can I use that 0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:52.640 for the intro on that exact tour after after that? 0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:03.400 And I appreciate it too, because y'all, y'all showed us, 0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:08.280 you know, you in particular, and Most y'all open y'all 0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.360 world to us. You know what I mean. We just 0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:13.480 coming from Florida and we're in your hood and you 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.800 said the state will come to the show. You're like, 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:18.360 y'all come rock, you know what I mean? Just made 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:23.760 Look really, I wasn't no fav you know, but I'm 0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:27.400 just saying that want it loud. Y'all really like loud 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:30.960 ain't really know they weren't connected right that y'all helped 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:36.959 us like have that national audience really really okay, got 0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:41.080 more black stop music for the same reason you' got 0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:44.200 more most deaf music. Man. I got fifteen albums, most 0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:48.440 got four or five. But he loved a wrap He wrapped, 0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:55.400 He wrap stick verse everybody abody. He's a wrappersper. Why 0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:59.440 you think I think Most is disheartened with the state 0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:01.800 of affairs the music business, not the music business, but 0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.240 entertainment in general. Just my experience with him is that 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.120 it's not that he's not being creative. It's not that 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.120 he's not aspired to be creative. He just don't like 0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:12.040 the music business. You don't like the rigamar row of 0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:14.800 dealing with the bullshit to come with the industry. And 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:17.760 I think it's a stent to his politics and his lifestyle. 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.440 And you know, I think he's trying to live very spiritual, 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:24.080 humble life and as far he's a charismatic very but 0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:27.000 there's so much then, but there's so much artists to 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:32.120 fan space right now, like that we have like I 0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:35.840 mean honestly, like honestly, like, but you give a lot 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:37.760 of yourself for that, you know, you got you give 0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:39.120 up a lot of yea, you know me, I'm going 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:40.600 to tow it all the time. And it's like, yeah, 0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:44.880 I got to you. We will. You argue with everybody 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:50.640 right and chance, and I gotta share with the press. 0:32:51.200 --> 0:33:03.920 I got tired, but I digress. But but I think 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.120 also you give a piece of that. Like one thing 0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.840 about that is that, you know, I look at people 0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.200 like most who don't. He has no social network, He's 0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.960 not on Instagram, Twitter, and fate none of that. Um, 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:18.000 you give a piece of that for yourself. And you know, 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.880 I'm very aware of my lane and my position in 0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:22.840 this business. I have a lot of respect for brothers 0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:24.480 like y'all, and that's what I live for and I 0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:27.440 love that. But most def he's more internationally recognized than 0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.480 I am, you know what I'm saying. So he has 0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:33.840 he has just more responsibility, he has more people be 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.120 tugging at him more, you know what I'm saying. There's 0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:39.360 people who have are more famous than me who don't 0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:42.520 necessarily maybe need to be on a social network at 0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.400 the same way some some some others to like I 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:45.959 try to use it as a tool. You see one 0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:47.560 on a lot, but I always try to drive traffic 0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:49.239 to what I'm doing and try to use as too 0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.840 because I don't got Adele or Beyonce marketing dollars and 0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:53.800 I want people to know what I'm doing, you know, 0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:56.840 So I use Twitter, I created I've not created, but 0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:01.200 harness this platform for what I do. But but I 0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:05.520 also learned from you know, people like most and who don't, 0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:09.120 who don't who have created this platforms. Whereas you gotta 0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.920 come for him most most whole canceled seven shows, But 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.120 does then show up and you'll still show up to 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:16.960 the cancel. No, you show up to the concil one 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.120 and you come back. But that's the one thing I 0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:23.280 do learn about the younger generation. Is there there there's 0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:26.359 as artists to consume them. Yeah, that part is kind 0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:28.560 of dot that smart is an adult like you know, 0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:32.520 other than SoundCloud, like super great SoundCloud with don't just 0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:35.560 expect the SoundCloud. They actually just make a straight artist 0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:40.759 to consumer. Just get that SoundCloud part out of it. 0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.200 I think that the music business is gonna start coming 0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.520 back ours. That's why I got Quality Club, which I 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.200 got for Ryan Leslie. He built it from me. Is 0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.279 like you you go straight to my website.

I knew that I looked at all 0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.480 these other platforms and all these other places, and after 0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:26.239 you get ten years in this game, people want to 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.239 kick you outeople want to say you old.

It doesn't take 0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:14.040 away from me. No notice in his hustle like I 0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:16.799 see him in one state he's dj and another state 0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:20.120 he's motherfucking performing, another state he's cooking. I don't notice 0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:23.839 that you're doing everything. I don't know. It's great around 0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:25.960 what you understand I'm saying, and that's dope is that 0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:27.920 I just feel like we need more of that in 0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:31.279 our culture, like as opposed to being competed with each other, 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:33.680 Like why would I compete with you when you have 0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:37.960 your own audience? It has hold up one second, man, 0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:39.759 I know you thought of this, and I've thought of 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:43.040 it for for years. I've always wanted to get into 0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:46.000 the stock market. I've always wanted to to trade stocks 0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:49.319 and buy stocks and and and you know, just it's 0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:51.560 just I just think that a lot of us always 0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.160 want to. But it just seemed like something so distant, 0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:56.120 or something only the wealth he did, or something that 0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:59.160 just seemed overly complicated to get involved in. Or you 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:01.800 needed to have some kind disposable income that you wouldn't 0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:04.800 worry about um that you could just dabble in it 0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:07.680 and hopefully you know, the dream is you you you 0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:11.319 buy something really low and and you know it's skyrockets. 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.520 But it just it just didn't seem like something like 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.399 the regular Joe Schmoke could get involved in but things 0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:19.479 are changing.

So sometimes I'll 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.439 take something less because I know these people will sunk 0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:38.920 with me more because they let I'm celebrated when I'm 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:41.640 walking a room and look, that's as opposed to getting 0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:44.879 more from somewhere else. And sometimes you were just it's 0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.560 just like all right, who I got? That's like sometimes 0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:51.719 that's the definition of selling out.

I don't know what you're talking. 0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:08.640 Mr Westminster West, Mr Westminster West. That's the homie though, 0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:11.360 that's the homie Corne I was on his album Cornel West. 0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:15.719 Because I'm saying that you know that Mr West needs 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:19.400 that Mr West before we go onto that. Because the 0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:22.960 reason why it's specially for me asking you guys this question, 0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:25.799 as opposed to me even asking t I or even 0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:28.760 asking other other other guests of the song here recently, 0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:34.800 you guys know Kanye right like when he said you 0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:37.479 know that you want to go back to the real Kanye, y'all. 0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:42.640 Actually you know the boy before they're talking about we're not, 0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:44.759 we're not because you know, I'm not a Googler, but 0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:48.680 when I do Google and I both like both with 0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:51.280 y'all Google. Oh yeah, he came up. I'm like, damn, 0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:57.360 I can't avoid this one. I want y'all to describe 0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:01.399 to me the difference between a brother that you'll first met, 0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:07.719 because are you around this guy now or we don't 0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:09.520 really know? Is this that? Um? I think it's the 0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:19.919 same dude. Okay, Okay, I go And that's a little 0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:26.120 way right there to right. That's wrong, that's yeah, okay, 0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:29.560 but yeah, if you if you, if you cook, I mean, 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:31.000 I think I think he's the same dude. You know, 0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:35.360 Kanye West is an icon of our time. He's a genius. 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:40.360 He's a musical genius. So he's very and he's he fashioned. 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.640 The things that he knows about that I can't funk 0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:46.040 with him on. He's his knowledge is just infinite when 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:48.399 it comes to certain things. There's a lot of things 0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:52.360 that he's misinformed about. When I first started doing shows 0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:53.719 with Dead Prayers, we do we do a lot of 0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:57.640 fundraisers and working with organizations like Malcolm X, Grassroots Movement 0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:00.040 and Refuse and Resist and and all these organizations. And 0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:01.920 one thing that I took to heart back in the 0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:05.640 day was a lot of those the real activists would 0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:08.440 give us political education, you know, what I'm saying, Like 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.480 before we got on stage, I feel like their prayers 0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:13.799 have a lot more political education than most I feel 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:15.919 like I got a lot more political education than most people. 0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:19.400 But even even us, we needed more pointers and steps 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:21.200 to know what the what the talking points for the 0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.200 movement was. We had O G. S. I feel like 0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:28.080 Kanye is the leader of a generation who looks up 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.360 to him, who about retweets and likes and engagement, and 0:43:31.400 --> 0:43:34.400 there's no O G. Knowledge in there. There's no political education, 0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:38.359 is the problem. But I agree with or he goes 0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:40.960 and caters to that audience. See, I can agree with you, 0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:44.279 won me us agree with you? But then he'll go 0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:46.759 And I swear to God as a brother, as a 0:43:46.800 --> 0:43:49.440 black man, as a fellow artist in hip hop. We 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:52.120 stopped the John monopoly. I'm saying names now. We stopped 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:55.319 to Steve with saying names who I actually see him 0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:57.719 around and I'm like, I think it's time he's sitting 0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:00.399 down with me. Of course to the plat Oh my god, 0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:02.160 we want my vote TV. You know what I'm saying. 0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:04.520 We're trying to be with volted. You know what I'm saying, 0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:06.160 We're trying to do you know, go outside of the 0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:08.400 box and I'm trying to Yeah, this is why we 0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:11.320 and it doesn't see and then it's crazy because I 0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:14.520 heard a rumor. This is how much um um uh. 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.399 I think he's trying. He's being a troll. I heard 0:44:17.440 --> 0:44:20.840 a rumor that that that Yate easy album, that Yate album, 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:24.480 it's original name was hit. But yeah, I don't know 0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:27.279 about that. I do know, like i've i've I mean, 0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:31.000 if it was, but way way, don't worry if it was. 0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:34.000 If it was, what does that say to you? Okay, 0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:38.360 because I have no idea. That's why because he's a 0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:42.839 he's a disruptor, he's he kind of controversy. He knows 0:44:43.200 --> 0:44:45.520 how to how to stir it. So what does that 0:44:45.600 --> 0:44:48.560 say to you? Because it's to me it's a something too. 0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:51.560 But I don't know. Like but I mean, but let's 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:53.200 if we're gonna talk on it like we I don't 0:44:53.239 --> 0:44:57.319 think if we just talk on the speculative, right, I'm saying, like, like, girl, 0:44:57.400 --> 0:44:59.120 I do think, I do think. But we did see 0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:01.600 him say he love and see that was a bad 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:04.719 We neatly had to trade on race and draft. That 0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:07.120 was that was That was at least a week the 0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:09.959 draft had to trade him. That's why let's get Scott. 0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:13.680 Let's get Scott. Start to somebody, Let's just get I 0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.439 think that I think the county is severely missing formed. 0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:21.880 I think he's severely miss formed. I think he's not reading. 0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:25.320 I think, based on my conversations with him from spanning 0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:29.520 from fifteen years ago to two months ago, that he 0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:32.680 is not He doesn't know politics, he don't know history, 0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:35.560 he don't know And I think the problem is that 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:38.080 when it comes to his career as an entertainer, he's 0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:41.640 been so brilliant and so successful that everything he's done 0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.600 has been correct right. So everything he does is like, 0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:46.680 I'm gonna do this at work, I'm gonna do that. 0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:54.799 Everything makes me like ugly easy, the easiest, every mind. 0:45:56.600 --> 0:46:00.239 So everything worked. Then you then you're thinking that this 0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:01.719 is gonna work. You hear the records he did with 0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:04.360 Tiana Tilling and and and nas and all that I 0:46:04.480 --> 0:46:05.960 was working on the record. Me and Kanye had a 0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:08.479 recordly working five songs together. You know what I'm saying. 0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:11.560 I was in his house a year ago. You like 0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:14.319 those records. I didn't hear all of them. I don't hear, 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:17.840 but I like the album. But he says to me 0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:19.600 in this non in his house, been in the studio. 0:46:21.040 --> 0:46:25.200 How living in Calabasas while Drake was there it was 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:29.440 hard on him because he was felt the competitive energy 0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:32.920 and how when Drake moved away his he had this 0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:36.360 creative rush, you know what I'm saying, which to me, 0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:39.160 I'm like, Yo, how you let this next man affect 0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:42.360 your energy? I was saying, like, this is something I felt, 0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:45.800 but I didn't speak on at the time. Now I 0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:48.600 see how the years played out, you know what I'm saying, 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:50.560 And I feel like a lot of what he's doing, 0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:53.440 Kanye wants to be number one. He wants to be 0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.000 talked about all the time, and if somebody's talking. He 0:46:56.040 --> 0:46:58.319 spent all the last year talking about how dope Drake 0:46:58.440 --> 0:47:01.399 was in every interview, Drake the number A rapper, Drakes rapper. 0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:04.040 I feel like he's triggered by Drake. I feel like 0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:06.759 he's triggered by Obama calling him a jackass. And I 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:09.799 feel like he just wants to be liked and he's misinformed. 0:47:10.239 --> 0:47:12.839 And I think I'm gonna be honest, be honest, that's 0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:18.040 the most sensible ship. No one said that, you know, 0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:24.439 because it's because people don't know him intimately. People haven't 0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:27.400 spent time with him inside studio hours for fifteen hours 0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:29.960 at a time, been with him on tool buses. But 0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:34.120 I understand Kanye as I think. I mean, I'm not 0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:36.239 trying to take any liberties here. He says he knows 0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:39.320 me according to Rolling Stone, and I know him. I 0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:43.200 know him. And what's so brilliant about it is sticking. 0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:46.640 Isn't that so similar to what we were just talking about? 0:47:46.719 --> 0:47:50.680 What my position was earlier in the airport? That right there? 0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:53.520 So it wasn't at the airport to put us on No, 0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:56.040 you heard it. It's what I'm trying to say. It's 0:47:56.080 --> 0:47:59.719 like what I'm corroborating here is that me and my 0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:03.719 part had a slight conversation about our brother and and 0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:06.640 you and I would love to hear sticks um take 0:48:06.719 --> 0:48:08.960 on it because it's it's interesting as well. And if 0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:11.040 you go to his Instagram you can see his posting. 0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:14.480 But where were you guys? We'll come right back to that. 0:48:14.800 --> 0:48:16.680 Who are you guys at when you heard that he 0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:22.640 said he loved Donald Trump at Yeah, I want to 0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:26.040 see him MSNBC A lot um. I never used to 0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:29.360 like it before. Trump. It's right wing. That's that's racist. 0:48:29.440 --> 0:48:31.839 But now it's left because Trump is in office. Right, 0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:35.920 that's that's like the Ills reality show right right exactly. 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:39.520 And my wife and my wife don't stop sing. She's 0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:42.040 non political, but she this is the best show on Yeah, 0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:44.439 that's the best show on TV. So that's why what's 0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:48.040 that ship? The president Ship on Netflix? They canceled? They 0:48:48.080 --> 0:48:55.040 said that the best show on TV exactly. Um, I 0:48:55.080 --> 0:48:58.719 don't even remember, because um, like, I don't remember what. 0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:03.919 I already had this sensitivity that he would like Donald Trump, 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:05.800 I don't I don't know where I was when I 0:49:05.880 --> 0:49:07.520 heard it, but I had the sensitivity in my mind 0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:09.520 that that would be something that he would say. You 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:11.640 know what sucked me up the most about that ship though, 0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:15.880 the ship he said about feeling emasculated and feeling like 0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:19.360 and talk about his daddy. Regardless of where you stand 0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:21.880 on Hillary Clin, you know what I'm saying, a lot 0:49:21.960 --> 0:49:25.040 of people in our community have very righteous criticism for 0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:28.160 Hillary Clinton. But his criticism and Hilly Clin wasn't a 0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:31.239 political criticism. He didn't talk about her policies, he didn't 0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:33.959 talk about Hey, he didn't talk about supercredator. He said, 0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:37.080 her slogan I'm with her made me feel like less 0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:41.239 than a man. He said, he said, because the less 0:49:41.360 --> 0:49:45.240 testosterone in his house. And he said, I'm married a family. 0:49:47.880 --> 0:49:50.279 He said, I married a family, and there's not enough 0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:53.719 testosterone in my house that to me, women can't make. 0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:56.920 And you got two daughters, bro, you got two daughters. 0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:58.480 That's the part. And you know, Knnie is my brother 0:49:58.520 --> 0:50:00.319 and I love him and I'll never just SI, I'm 0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:03.200 never calling crazy. And if that brother called me I'm coming, 0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:04.600 I can't wait. You know what I'm saying. If he 0:50:04.640 --> 0:50:07.960 called me I'm coming. But that's what that's what sucked 0:50:07.960 --> 0:50:10.560 me up the most, because I've had private conversations with 0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:13.320 him on sex that he sucked me up that were hurtful, 0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:17.680 hurtful private conversation that I'm like, okay, that will be 0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:20.879 remained between you and me, right. But when I seen 0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:22.360 that man get up there and say I love you 0:50:22.480 --> 0:50:24.880 Donald Trump, and Donald Trump said, hey, I didn't have 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:27.520 to be saying and I didn't actually be saying that, 0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:29.400 and then he hugged that man, and they said, no, 0:50:29.520 --> 0:50:31.520 you can't like more like more of a man as 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:33.880 that strike me up for his daughters. We know, we 0:50:34.000 --> 0:50:37.080 know it's a certain way you give a person of five, Like, 0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:39.920 look at Trump's hand, his hand is out here. It 0:50:39.960 --> 0:50:43.000 didn't even come closer me. It didn't come closer. That's 0:50:43.120 --> 0:50:49.799 cone he came close. Father. I was like, Oh, that's 0:50:49.920 --> 0:50:53.840 that's that's as like as a person that's jail violation. 0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:56.640 It was harder. Look at bro girls really hard to 0:50:58.880 --> 0:51:02.000 Nobody cares to really hone in on him. He's saying 0:51:02.280 --> 0:51:05.640 he's got mental health issues. And that's my point that 0:51:05.760 --> 0:51:08.279 that that might be the situation. That was some of 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.799 my points to my family is that I don't think 0:51:11.840 --> 0:51:14.759 we suggest this moment clearly because I don't think the 0:51:14.800 --> 0:51:18.040 man is clear. I don't don't sound clear exactly. I 0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:22.560 don't think that even if he believed it, he knows 0:51:22.640 --> 0:51:25.560 what he knows. But he says man is and he 0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:28.919 stopped taking he say he's not. One of his goal 0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:31.080 is for us to do this right now. That's it. 0:51:31.440 --> 0:51:36.520 That's his ultimately, that's the point. By album, why are 0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:40.120 you talking about this exactly exactly? Since you're talking about 0:51:40.160 --> 0:51:44.600 that exactly. But I'm just saying because there's nobody that 0:51:44.680 --> 0:51:48.560 there's nobody technically better to talk about this. And he's 0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:52.360 here is the biggest thing in the game right now, 0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:57.360 especially what he's doing. And I've never seen a destruction 0:51:57.440 --> 0:51:59.280 like this. And don't give me when I say destruction. 0:51:59.520 --> 0:52:01.560 It's not like his paper might be affective. I don't 0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.359 think this paper is gonna be afect cultural currency because yeah, 0:52:04.400 --> 0:52:08.360 it's because like I don't. Yeah, I agree. And we 0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:12.799 were constantly every single day seeing videos of little black 0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:16.520 girls getting getting you know, hitting the ribs. We're seeing 0:52:16.640 --> 0:52:20.480 black girls getting pulled, we seeing black boys getting killed, 0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.160 and we're seeing this and and this day and time, 0:52:23.760 --> 0:52:25.960 we need you know how we used to say, yo, 0:52:26.040 --> 0:52:27.920 you you're not a celebrity. You're not You don't have 0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:30.279 responsibilities to be a role model. We don't have a 0:52:30.360 --> 0:52:34.040 fucking choice anymore. Like at the end of the day, 0:52:34.800 --> 0:52:37.480 we're all raising children, and we're all raising children that 0:52:37.520 --> 0:52:40.640 can that can go to them saying states and the 0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:44.120 same stats that these people go. We have to take responsibility, 0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:47.080 we have to I don't, I know, I know mathematist, 0:52:47.120 --> 0:52:49.160 I know, I'm you know, I was raised five saying 0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:51.080 I was raised like that. But you know, as time 0:52:51.160 --> 0:52:53.600 go and progress, I've started to make club music, and 0:52:53.680 --> 0:52:56.360 I started to cater to that. But I know the difference. 0:52:56.760 --> 0:52:59.760 I can't no longer being that guy. I have to change. 0:53:00.160 --> 0:53:03.839 It's just it's just I can't afford. Although I'm more 0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:07.200 comfortable there, but I have to say what I see 0:53:07.239 --> 0:53:12.399 that that's you know what I'm saying. It's just called growth. 0:53:12.600 --> 0:53:15.879 But I think I think with um, yeah, it's it's 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:19.200 a lot. It's a lot of richness to that situation, 0:53:19.280 --> 0:53:22.480 you know what I mean? Because when you say whichness, 0:53:22.520 --> 0:53:25.279 you mean wealth or you mean richness, like, um, like 0:53:25.440 --> 0:53:29.799 it's just deeper. Yeah, like like so so you get 0:53:29.880 --> 0:53:33.640 a reaction from the masses of people, right if you 0:53:33.920 --> 0:53:36.880 do this or do that right, It's it's like you 0:53:36.960 --> 0:53:39.360 could predict the reaction. Like when people say there's no 0:53:39.640 --> 0:53:42.560 bad promotion as long as its promotion. Yeah, people say that. 0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:46.600 I hate that. But what I mean is like it's 0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:49.600 a lot of factors. You know, I'm mixing, so I 0:53:49.680 --> 0:53:52.719 don't feel like it's we're really having a real conversation 0:53:52.880 --> 0:53:56.319 as far as the community around this, because it's mental health, 0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:01.320 which has nothing to do with the other stuff, the politics, 0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:03.719 you know what I mean. In you know, in a 0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:07.840 certain way. It's like if somebody is I believe that 0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:13.399 of the planet it got mental health issue. I mean, 0:54:14.040 --> 0:54:18.360 like for real, And you know what I feel like 0:54:18.600 --> 0:54:21.960 we as we're growing and evolving, like the things that 0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:25.920 the choices we make ship like, we like we pull 0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:28.960 our own poison. We don't call that mental health. It's 0:54:29.360 --> 0:54:36.960 the b I'm good, I'm good. I'll have it around O. Yeah. 0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:40.800 You know that's one thing, right, So then if Kanye 0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.760 is really dealing with mental health issues, the way people 0:54:43.800 --> 0:54:46.680 in the community is treating him, right, if they really 0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:49.640 believe he got a mental health issue, it's terrible. It's 0:54:49.680 --> 0:54:51.960 not you know what I'm saying. So that's one thing. 0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:57.320 The second thing is Kanye is an artist with a platform. 0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:01.320 He chooses songs he want to make, He choose the 0:55:01.560 --> 0:55:04.520 position he want to take, and when you like what 0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:08.239 he's saying, he demand. But when he feels like he 0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:11.879 sees something different, then oh, this is the worst coon ever, 0:55:12.000 --> 0:55:13.839 you know what I mean? And to me, that's more 0:55:14.040 --> 0:55:21.000 fickle on the community. Right. But then you know is 0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:24.440 you got Donald Trump and what he represents, you know 0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:27.640 what I mean? And then this this like alignment that's 0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.239 not really clear where it's coming from and where it's going. 0:55:30.640 --> 0:55:33.239 So when you mix all that together and people think 0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:37.320 like she, they're gonna automatically assume whatever they want to assume. 0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:39.840 But they don't know Kanye. They don't know Kanye agenda, 0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:43.279 they don't know Kanye mental health. Everybody just talking and 0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:47.600 exploiting that condition for their own benefits, you know what 0:55:47.600 --> 0:55:50.400 I mean. So you think that's why Chappelle Paul went 0:55:50.440 --> 0:55:52.680 to Africa at that time, and then now all of 0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:59.000 a sudden, Kanye, you gotta take atlic Chapelle went to Africa, 0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:06.160 Nold Papa Roster Mother. Chappelle's right, you're trying to quite 0:56:06.200 --> 0:56:09.040 the reason why Chappelle left The Chappelle Show and went 0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:12.480 to Africa to why Kanye went to Uganda. Yes, what 0:56:12.560 --> 0:56:14.000 I'm trying to say, I was. What I was trying 0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:17.040 to say is you know Chappelle called Onto because you know, 0:56:17.160 --> 0:56:21.080 sometimes winning too much, it's like fellas. Now I think 0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:22.799 Kanye is trying to do that. I think he's doing 0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:26.080 his own version of that. He's doing the Kanye version, 0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:28.080 which you go to Uganda and you go talk to 0:56:28.160 --> 0:56:31.080 the to the Ugandan president. I'm saying, well, let me 0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:36.319 ask you what about this though? What like in our community, right, 0:56:36.560 --> 0:56:38.920 when when a person is like I want to look 0:56:38.960 --> 0:56:42.719 at a situation different, like I just want to consider 0:56:42.760 --> 0:56:46.440 a different angle, a different a different picture. Right, So 0:56:47.480 --> 0:56:49.360 you know, how can you do that? How can you 0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:53.799 really break out the sheet cycle? If you look at 0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:57.960 something different? The whole world attacked? Right, I think to 0:56:59.719 --> 0:57:01.759 the than in the first place, you like, think about it, 0:57:01.880 --> 0:57:04.560 like just for the flips up would first? What about 0:57:07.400 --> 0:57:10.000 Jim Brown. Jim Brown is pause and I'm so sorry 0:57:10.040 --> 0:57:12.239 that Jim Brown. I love you, But when you see 0:57:12.280 --> 0:57:14.719 the Jim Brown, Jim Brown keeps saying people shouldn't be 0:57:14.800 --> 0:57:17.480 kneeling to the flag, that's not what kaeper Nick nil. Yeah, 0:57:17.480 --> 0:57:20.520 he's got he's got that, but he's got I think 0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:22.760 the thing about Jim Brown is that is that Jim 0:57:22.800 --> 0:57:26.480 Brown is someone who you know, there's Jim Brown is 0:57:26.520 --> 0:57:28.320 a mythology. First of all, do you see what I'm 0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:31.640 saying this stuff on Jim Brown. That's like, Jim Brown 0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:35.160 is in our community, he's a pillar, excuse me, of 0:57:35.200 --> 0:57:38.360 our community. He's he's there's a there's a mythology surrounding him. 0:57:38.680 --> 0:57:41.840 And I think that he's doing certain community work where 0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:45.960 he's a strategic and tactical in a way like I 0:57:46.120 --> 0:57:49.120 personally just not that I would ever get that invitation. 0:57:49.480 --> 0:57:52.040 But I couldn't see myself going to Trump to see 0:57:52.040 --> 0:57:54.320 Trump on any for any reason. But for somebody like 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:56.640 Jim Brown, I could see you thinking that as strategy. 0:57:57.360 --> 0:57:59.360 I've been in meetings with Kanye West and his friends 0:57:59.720 --> 0:58:01.920 and I've heard people close to him say to him, 0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:04.360 the problem have with you is not whether or not 0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:07.360 I agree with your political stances. What's the strategy here? 0:58:07.680 --> 0:58:10.680 What I'm saying, like when you when you went to TMZ, 0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:13.640 that was unplanned situation, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:58:13.720 --> 0:58:16.600 when you you had the Charlotte Man interview where you 0:58:16.680 --> 0:58:19.160 control that interview, why not let that be Why not 0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:21.120 let that be the story? Why go to t MZ 0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:24.120 on that day? What is the strategy here? So when 0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:26.919 with sticks say then he went back though, when sticks 0:58:26.920 --> 0:58:29.920 say like, like, what as far as thinking different kind 0:58:29.920 --> 0:58:32.800 of when Kinnie come with that free thinkership, right, I'm 0:58:32.840 --> 0:58:35.920 with all that, But the problem is that don't tell 0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:38.560 me I'm not a Democrat, but don't assume I'm a 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:41.160 democrat and called me a slave with a democratic plantation 0:58:41.520 --> 0:58:44.280 because I don't agree with the Republican concentration, you know 0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:46.760 what I'm saying, And that's where it goes hard. And 0:58:46.880 --> 0:58:48.440 I want to say this to that as well, like 0:58:48.520 --> 0:58:50.479 we know some free think because there's some people who've 0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:52.640 been down this road and doing some amazing work who 0:58:52.720 --> 0:58:56.080 are not right, not left who and and and I 0:58:56.160 --> 0:58:59.120 support those people, and I and Kanye sees himself in 0:58:59.200 --> 0:59:01.960 that kind of circle. I'm with it on right that 0:59:02.200 --> 0:59:05.840 just that being said. So, but going back to what 0:59:05.960 --> 0:59:10.040 Stick said, and even in all of this, what's real 0:59:10.360 --> 0:59:13.960 is as much as we think he's done all this damage. 0:59:15.360 --> 0:59:18.760 People are fickle. People are very short terms. That's that's 0:59:18.840 --> 0:59:21.400 rare for us, very short term memory. And one year 0:59:21.520 --> 0:59:24.360 Kanye will be a hero to something that's right. People. 0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:31.800 I didn't say that egotistically, and I'm talking about Yeah, 0:59:31.800 --> 0:59:34.480 I'm talking about you. I'm talking about like like like 0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:36.960 the same way, the same way we we have real 0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:39.400 talk with people. We can have real talk. Not nobody. 0:59:39.680 --> 0:59:43.880 Nobody's the work too, because it's not like Hannis Owens 0:59:44.480 --> 0:59:46.760 or Larry Elder when these mothers could come out and 0:59:46.800 --> 0:59:48.640 make a jam and then say, oh, I'm down with 0:59:48.720 --> 0:59:51.400 the movement. We won't believe them. We believe. We believe 0:59:51.480 --> 0:59:53.360 Kanye can come back because of the work he's put 0:59:53.400 --> 0:59:55.680 in the exactly what I'm saying, Like you write, we 0:59:55.760 --> 0:59:59.000 grow our heroes out, whether it's common, whether it's Kendrick Lamar, whoever, 0:59:59.080 --> 1:00:03.360 if they say one ro dang, the one thing, I'm 1:00:03.360 --> 1:00:05.480 gonna put us in that category. I want to put 1:00:05.760 --> 1:00:08.919 the people that are temporary fast because there's bandwagging people. 1:00:09.240 --> 1:00:11.040 I'm not talking about band bag people. I'm talking about 1:00:11.040 --> 1:00:13.080 I'm talking about the inner community. This is us, this 1:00:13.200 --> 1:00:15.120 is us right here, this is the new pool right 1:00:17.200 --> 1:00:19.960 this is us by us, and this is I mean 1:00:20.200 --> 1:00:24.000 people outside of our community. But the thing about it 1:00:24.160 --> 1:00:27.640 is um That's why, that's why I like it hurts 1:00:27.720 --> 1:00:30.400 me sometimes right where. You know, we set up this 1:00:30.480 --> 1:00:34.040 whole campaign, you know, Rock Nations tweets me Yo, let's 1:00:34.080 --> 1:00:37.360 let's let's free meet, no wolo, let's free motherfucking me. 1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:39.720 Let's go out there and free motherfucking meet, let me 1:00:39.760 --> 1:00:41.320 hashtag and let me do what I gotta do to 1:00:41.440 --> 1:00:44.000 free me, and free meet comes home. And then y'all 1:00:44.000 --> 1:00:46.440 go first listening the element or generous you know what 1:00:46.480 --> 1:00:51.080 I'm saying like like no, no, listen, listen. I get resist, 1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:54.760 I get what she represents. But as a hip hop artist, 1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:57.640 I think every artist that came after me kind of 1:00:57.720 --> 1:01:01.000 owes me to sit down, comes sit down with the yaller, 1:01:01.680 --> 1:01:06.680 come chopping up, come chopping up, you know, and I 1:01:06.920 --> 1:01:09.040 want so big that you want.

And I sit there and 1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:19.320 I do all these campaigns when these record labels hit me, 1:01:19.360 --> 1:01:22.680 all these management companies hit me.

I want to show what we are doing. 1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:12.920 Like I noticed these radio stations, they'd be like, oh, well, 1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:15.960 you gotta grind it out like I've been down ten years.

I even I even I even 1:04:44.000 --> 1:04:46.920 I even go even deeper. If you can't go to 1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:49.400 drink Champs, I don't mind go to the breakfast club. 1:04:50.600 --> 1:04:52.440 You can't go to the reference club. I don't mind 1:04:52.520 --> 1:04:55.600 going to your button. You don't go to your bud 1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:58.280 go the rap radar. Go to somebody that we know 1:04:58.400 --> 1:05:02.200 that us approved from the O you with stripes, don't 1:05:02.200 --> 1:05:08.240 go to Zaine Long. Who the fucking ze this guy is? 1:05:08.320 --> 1:05:11.560 When Apple getting crazy, I'm sorry saying you know, I 1:05:11.680 --> 1:05:14.240 like you as a person. I just don't know why 1:05:14.280 --> 1:05:16.840 you could get drinking Nicki Minas and kid you Lamas. 1:05:18.080 --> 1:05:21.560 When I've been to Compton, I've been in the South Side, 1:05:22.320 --> 1:05:31.160 I've been in Toronto, right, Oh yeah, your motherfucker's understand 1:05:32.880 --> 1:05:42.480 just the new foo. I'm sorry, you'll bring it out 1:05:42.520 --> 1:05:47.280 of me. Yeah, I'm bringing it out of me, numb 1:05:47.320 --> 1:05:49.840 up for real. That's that's when I started to notice 1:05:50.200 --> 1:05:55.080 that sometimes our culture, we love to be abused. Artists. 1:05:55.120 --> 1:05:57.760 I don't know if it's artists are people we love 1:05:57.840 --> 1:06:01.200 to be abused. I see artists who see a publication 1:06:01.360 --> 1:06:04.240 this though, and then that artists go back and go 1:06:04.360 --> 1:06:07.680 back and that publication. I've seen this multiple times, like 1:06:07.760 --> 1:06:09.880 we watched it with Kanye, but is not the only 1:06:09.960 --> 1:06:12.560 one when that TMZ thing and then you know, but 1:06:12.920 --> 1:06:15.160 why why do you why do you think that is 1:06:15.320 --> 1:06:18.440 like when people just I think we just don't support 1:06:18.440 --> 1:06:20.840 each other. We believe that we believe the dream. I think, 1:06:20.880 --> 1:06:24.600 you know, I think our idea of success is whiteness. 1:06:26.000 --> 1:06:29.120 So our idea of success is not drink chace for 1:06:29.240 --> 1:06:33.960 tim Z. Our idea of successes you know, not you know, yeah, 1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:38.120 you know I did the interview. It wasn't like my 1:06:38.240 --> 1:06:43.120 drink chances in my drink cha. But you know, even 1:06:43.160 --> 1:06:45.680 with our good brother, yeah, I think his idea of 1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:49.840 success is you know, I got polo shoot on polo. 1:06:50.160 --> 1:06:52.600 Raphael Rand is his hero. Elon Muster is his hero, 1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:54.520 Henry Ford is hero. He want to be like Donald 1:06:54.560 --> 1:06:57.160 Trump his idea of successes. He was, like he said 1:06:57.200 --> 1:06:58.640 in his record, I'm gonna climb to the top of 1:06:58.680 --> 1:07:00.520 the mountain, top of the Empire State Building. I'm a 1:07:00.560 --> 1:07:03.720 kid comming, I'm I'm married, I'm the white bitch, and 1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:06.920 I'm gonna get all the white man ship. When you know, 1:07:07.120 --> 1:07:11.320 I'm just paraphrased what I'm saying. But that was when 1:07:11.600 --> 1:07:15.680 I was. When I heard Right on tour with Common, 1:07:16.000 --> 1:07:18.800 he had a bar and this we talked about us. 1:07:18.840 --> 1:07:22.920 He brought yeah man now he said it on the 1:07:22.920 --> 1:07:36.120 album and Kanye brought me on to that. But this 1:07:36.160 --> 1:07:38.040 is what he said, quality for the coach. Now that's 1:07:38.040 --> 1:07:39.680 what you said. He had a bar. That was like 1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:41.560 he said, they you know how I know I ain't 1:07:41.560 --> 1:07:44.120 about ship because I got He said, I got a 1:07:44.160 --> 1:07:47.320 white girl, a white watch, a white and the white 1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:49.720 girl to match my outfit or some ship was the bar, right, 1:07:50.360 --> 1:07:55.000 And my audience booed him every night. Right didn't say 1:07:55.040 --> 1:07:57.240 that every night. The quality audience didn't want to hear that. 1:07:57.960 --> 1:08:00.520 You know what I'm saying, And you know he used 1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:02.280 to but he said that to me recently. He said 1:08:02.280 --> 1:08:03.360 it to me a couple of months ago. He said, 1:08:03.400 --> 1:08:06.520 I feel like the whole world is quality audience. Know 1:08:06.560 --> 1:08:10.000 what I'm saying. I said, my audience is right exactly. Basically, 1:08:10.080 --> 1:08:13.480 you wouldn't know what the audience made you better. You're 1:08:13.520 --> 1:08:17.880 standing out. Time gonna tell the man, I really feel 1:08:17.960 --> 1:08:22.479 like sometimes people are moved to do things that we 1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:26.880 don't even know. You know what I mean. So we're 1:08:27.080 --> 1:08:30.120 ready to judge ship, but time going with bild you 1:08:30.160 --> 1:08:33.120 know what I mean? Well, time has toward us. The 1:08:33.200 --> 1:08:36.240 brother come around all the time. What did they say? 1:08:36.280 --> 1:08:39.679 They say that people love to come up, the fall 1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:44.800 down right and to come back that they say that's yeah, 1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:49.240 I'm gonna album I'm no judge, man, I want to say, 1:08:49.280 --> 1:08:53.160 I'm no judging. And in the finals have this conversation, 1:08:53.600 --> 1:08:56.320 even as it relates to Kanye West, which has threaded 1:08:56.400 --> 1:08:58.640 somehow into a part of it. No, it has to 1:08:58.720 --> 1:09:02.600 be I'm no and this is this is out of 1:09:02.680 --> 1:09:07.320 love and and even like we're talking about what level 1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:09.920 of it takes to be successful and how we see 1:09:09.960 --> 1:09:12.519 success on a certain level, like even as us as 1:09:12.880 --> 1:09:15.720 quote unquote people who are thought minded um, you know, 1:09:15.840 --> 1:09:20.920 into the revolution money. Look, we're trying to usurp the throne. 1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:23.280 We see, we're trying to be rich. I'm trying to 1:09:23.280 --> 1:09:26.400 get rich. You're trying to Yeah, absolutely billion dollars, right, yeah, absolutely, 1:09:26.479 --> 1:09:28.600 why not? There's only there's only twelve black dollion this 1:09:28.800 --> 1:09:31.200 you see the quality of fourteen and and and But 1:09:31.840 --> 1:09:35.080 a lot of the our community excludes that kind of 1:09:35.280 --> 1:09:38.599 understanding from it or how we But you're not saying 1:09:38.640 --> 1:09:42.000 that Kanye is behavior no, no, make money all right, 1:09:42.160 --> 1:09:44.000 my god, I just want to be we gotta dumb audience. 1:09:44.320 --> 1:09:51.559 Not exactly that either, because you're going down the point 1:09:55.560 --> 1:09:59.760 like I'm really just understanding that, like it's gonna take 1:09:59.800 --> 1:10:05.360 it ordinary circumstances to arrive at the the the conclusion 1:10:05.400 --> 1:10:06.640 that we want to be at, Like I want to 1:10:06.680 --> 1:10:09.240 be free. I want to have liberation. A lot of 1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:12.120 people say I'm already free. Some people say, oh, money 1:10:12.200 --> 1:10:14.439 is freedom. Some people say, oh, well did you vote? 1:10:14.760 --> 1:10:18.000 Some people say this. My point is we have to 1:10:18.040 --> 1:10:20.599 come to some commonality about it. And it ain't easy. 1:10:20.960 --> 1:10:24.200 And I got daughters, five of them, and I'm thinking 1:10:24.360 --> 1:10:26.640 to the future, how long would it take for us 1:10:26.680 --> 1:10:28.639 to arrive at a place where I can really feel 1:10:28.680 --> 1:10:31.800 like this place is safe. We gotta do something incredible. 1:10:32.200 --> 1:10:35.920 We can't just think regular you know, so like in 1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:38.800 real talk like and so we have to include all 1:10:38.880 --> 1:10:42.759 of this in the conversation. Drink Champs ain't low Donald 1:10:42.800 --> 1:10:50.120 Trump and Shorty dealing crack all in equation. That's just quick. 1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:52.240 As someone as an outsider in the sense that you 1:10:52.320 --> 1:10:55.080 guys all know Kanye, I've only dealt with him a 1:10:55.120 --> 1:10:58.519 couple of times as a DJ and as a fan 1:10:58.840 --> 1:11:01.640 of Kanye, real fans. What I'm saying as a fan, 1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:03.920 I'm saying that's that's the precursor to what I'm about 1:11:03.920 --> 1:11:06.759 to say. There gets to a point where there's damage 1:11:06.800 --> 1:11:09.880 that's being created by what he's doing. Yeah, I think 1:11:10.160 --> 1:11:12.719 that's why we have to speak and starting to become 1:11:12.800 --> 1:11:18.479 scary because I think his father was his father was 1:11:18.720 --> 1:11:20.000 when the father, I don't know, No, I don't even 1:11:20.000 --> 1:11:24.560 think it's a do you think that I said what 1:11:24.640 --> 1:11:26.160 I think what I think. I don't think it's the 1:11:26.160 --> 1:11:30.439 followers show. I think it's the actual president himself thinking that, oh, 1:11:30.560 --> 1:11:35.080 this guy validates me. I feel that everybody, especially like 1:11:35.200 --> 1:11:39.599 he's already faust. No, it's not. But I'm don't say 1:11:39.640 --> 1:11:42.120 as an individual, I just feel like at a point, 1:11:42.160 --> 1:11:43.920 as a fan of I'm like, at a point, you 1:11:44.000 --> 1:11:46.280 gotta understand like there's a there's a there's a damage 1:11:46.280 --> 1:11:49.280 you can't come back from that. Here's a damage for 1:11:49.400 --> 1:11:51.120 me and on a on a personal on a real 1:11:51.240 --> 1:11:54.080 personal level. Um, I think the damage just me be 1:11:54.160 --> 1:11:56.960 coming from. And I'm very privileged to have grown up 1:11:57.600 --> 1:12:00.280 with educators. I recognized that as a privilege, there's some 1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:05.320 prison most people don't have. The misinformation and misdirection to 1:12:05.439 --> 1:12:07.599 me is very damaging the fact that you go out 1:12:07.640 --> 1:12:10.040 there you make statements that are not based on fact, 1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:12.519 but that are based on feeling, and then you say 1:12:13.120 --> 1:12:16.240 you say on your Twitter and your Instagram feelings matter 1:12:17.280 --> 1:12:20.200 more than fact and like them. The interview, when he 1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:23.800 said um uh slavery part yeah, now, Van Lathan was 1:12:23.840 --> 1:12:26.120 there to correct him. Van Lathan was very eloquent and 1:12:26.280 --> 1:12:28.960 what's the next TMZ and interview those are the next teams. 1:12:29.080 --> 1:12:32.880 Interview was outside and we was Van later right, But 1:12:33.200 --> 1:12:37.080 when Kanye I was calling, I got the word know 1:12:37.120 --> 1:12:39.880 when you're going, don't do it. When Kanye apologized to 1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:42.720 Van Lam when he apologized to Van Lathen, that to 1:12:42.800 --> 1:12:44.720 me was the real kind. That what I'm saying, Like, 1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:46.680 I'm like, okay, that's the moment, yeah, because that's what 1:12:46.800 --> 1:12:49.200 that's the real ship. But like when Kanye bigs up, 1:12:49.240 --> 1:12:52.160 somebody like Knda's owns Canda z Owens comes after me 1:12:52.240 --> 1:12:55.000 on Twitter, and then I get that's the black girl. 1:12:55.360 --> 1:12:57.000 And then then I get called a nigger and a 1:12:57.080 --> 1:13:00.200 monkey from straight at white supremacist white you know, like 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:06.240 motherfucker is like wow, right, So, but that's why I 1:13:06.320 --> 1:13:09.280 take a person like I see a personal effect of 1:13:10.040 --> 1:13:14.719 like white supremacist, neo nazi. Motherfucker's like proud boy, Maga, 1:13:14.840 --> 1:13:17.799 motherfucker's becoming at me, like you should be more like Kanye. 1:13:19.520 --> 1:13:21.680 It's not his fault. It's not because they're gonna be 1:13:21.720 --> 1:13:26.600 like that. They're gonna find somebody else. It's gonna But 1:13:26.720 --> 1:13:29.400 the reason but the reason why I have to I 1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:31.320 have to. I have to give him some resipis ability 1:13:32.400 --> 1:13:36.080 because he is a grown man. He's making choices. He's 1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:40.840 making choices to align himself with people who are are 1:13:41.160 --> 1:13:43.559 a death set or harm and people of color. You're 1:13:43.600 --> 1:13:45.560 making a choice to align yourself with the people, and 1:13:45.840 --> 1:13:49.519 you're making a choice is not an intentional choice. But 1:13:49.680 --> 1:13:51.960 as we know, when it comes to oppression, oppression it's 1:13:52.000 --> 1:13:54.600 not about intent, it's about results. You can have the 1:13:54.680 --> 1:13:56.920 best intention of the world. The broad to fucking hell 1:13:57.000 --> 1:13:59.840 is paid with the great attention. I think Kanye's attention is, 1:14:00.240 --> 1:14:03.040 I don't want y'all to see me what the stereotypical 1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:05.800 image of a black man is. I'm free, I'm not 1:14:05.960 --> 1:14:07.880 your idea of a black man. But let me put 1:14:07.920 --> 1:14:09.120 on his mag and hat. Let me show you how 1:14:09.200 --> 1:14:11.720 much I'm not your idea black. But he did that 1:14:11.840 --> 1:14:15.960 with the flag then, So he was trying this early 1:14:17.920 --> 1:14:28.800 because andre Andrea Federate, but I would I'd be willing 1:14:28.840 --> 1:14:32.040 to bet, and I'd be willing to bet. And if 1:14:32.080 --> 1:14:34.960 you ask Andre Ddausand today about why he wore a 1:14:35.000 --> 1:14:37.439 Confederate belt, which he did twenty years ago, he would 1:14:37.520 --> 1:14:40.080 change his tone ludicrous. When he was on the awards, 1:14:40.120 --> 1:14:42.479 he would to hold Confederate suit and then he pulled 1:14:42.520 --> 1:14:44.000 it off, and he pulled it off. He had the red, 1:14:44.040 --> 1:14:46.360 black and green shirt under I think it's because their 1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:49.320 idead with Bluttle John and then had the Confederate flag 1:14:49.360 --> 1:14:52.000 burning on the cover April and m j G had 1:14:52.000 --> 1:14:54.040 the flag burning on the cover. I think they can't 1:14:54.200 --> 1:14:56.720 they did that after Andre wore that because I think 1:14:56.760 --> 1:14:59.840 they the new South idea is that we from the South. 1:15:00.160 --> 1:15:02.280 But and you know, you could speak to it more 1:15:02.280 --> 1:15:05.800 than because you're from Florida. What I'm saying like, if 1:15:05.840 --> 1:15:08.320 you speak to it, you don't want to hear. Nothing 1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:12.120 to do with none of them, Like come on, man, 1:15:12.400 --> 1:15:15.400 that deeps out. Give me to watch Dukes has money 1:15:15.439 --> 1:15:16.960 could like I couldn't watch that at the crib and 1:15:17.000 --> 1:15:19.960 I used to go to my first to watch I 1:15:20.640 --> 1:15:26.040 watch I just after what I saying that even we 1:15:26.200 --> 1:15:28.760 talk about the flag for a second, Right, everybody gets 1:15:29.240 --> 1:15:33.080 so um hype about the Confederate flag. Right, but the 1:15:33.160 --> 1:15:37.080 Confederate flag and got shipped on the US. The U. S. 1:15:37.160 --> 1:15:40.599 Flag is more responsible for slavery and all types of ship. 1:15:41.400 --> 1:15:45.880 They stopped the Confederate flag, then the Confederate flag. I mean, 1:15:46.000 --> 1:15:48.599 they all to me, they all the same. I ain't 1:15:48.640 --> 1:15:51.160 trying to say that you hang up the Confederate flag. 1:15:51.280 --> 1:15:53.960 What I'm just saying the U. S. Flag is no better. 1:15:54.400 --> 1:15:56.160 But you know what I mean, it's no better. Right 1:15:56.200 --> 1:15:58.960 if we talk about symbolism, it's hypocrisy, you know what 1:15:59.000 --> 1:16:01.360 I'm like, he said, some Federate flag would tell you, 1:16:01.840 --> 1:16:04.200 I think you need to be a slave, that needs 1:16:04.240 --> 1:16:06.880 there tell you the US to say everybody free. But 1:16:07.040 --> 1:16:10.920 then in reality it's the oky though. Yeah, so you 1:16:11.000 --> 1:16:12.680 know what I mean. We're gonna say, you know, oh, 1:16:12.800 --> 1:16:15.400 the Confederate flag, like that's the one. It's like all 1:16:15.479 --> 1:16:19.800 these flags, right yeah, right, But but I just gotta say, 1:16:19.880 --> 1:16:24.639 and now, in this conversation with the viewings American public, 1:16:25.720 --> 1:16:29.840 we're already sue it's gonna be like fuck that like 1:16:30.120 --> 1:16:34.760 America First, like American American Meran, and that's the other ship. 1:16:34.760 --> 1:16:37.320 Americans love them. I don't bring it back to Kanye, 1:16:37.360 --> 1:16:38.800 but that's the other ship that disappointed me. When he 1:16:38.840 --> 1:16:41.000 get on that America first ship, that to me is 1:16:41.280 --> 1:16:44.040 is worsted, Like that's not it. Yeah, I'm believing that ain't. 1:16:44.840 --> 1:16:47.360 But there's a comfortable with Kanye says we need to 1:16:47.920 --> 1:16:51.240 manufacture to marry but America First, that nationalist ship. But 1:16:51.360 --> 1:16:53.200 he'd be on that ship now that's new ship. But 1:16:53.320 --> 1:16:55.479 you know the things he's like making his easies in 1:16:55.560 --> 1:16:58.720 Calabasas right now and now he's switching a factory to 1:16:58.920 --> 1:17:01.040 uh that's all. I'm say. It's cost a hundred thousand 1:17:01.080 --> 1:17:03.519 dollars and but but my my phone the end of 1:17:03.560 --> 1:17:07.360 the day. Really, like you know, I just think there 1:17:07.560 --> 1:17:10.559 is it limited you it's a bubble that we see 1:17:10.920 --> 1:17:13.840 as America. Like it's privileged, just fun. Anybody who ever 1:17:13.880 --> 1:17:16.760 gets out of here is gonna understand it. Anybody. And 1:17:16.880 --> 1:17:22.200 it's and it's made my live driver to the to 1:17:22.320 --> 1:17:24.920 the airport. When we when we started this tour, we 1:17:25.000 --> 1:17:27.040 and we was talking. We're talking about the hurricane and 1:17:27.080 --> 1:17:30.280 all that, and um we somehow we end up talking 1:17:30.280 --> 1:17:32.920 about Puerto Rico and the ship going on down there, 1:17:33.320 --> 1:17:36.160 and I we went down there not to seeing what 1:17:36.320 --> 1:17:37.960 was going on. I was telling him a little bit 1:17:38.000 --> 1:17:40.439 like they're not getting the aid that they need and 1:17:40.560 --> 1:17:43.160 things like that, and this was a problem, right, And 1:17:43.479 --> 1:17:46.640 it's just no disrespect to him, but just the ignorance 1:17:46.920 --> 1:17:50.599 he was like porter, He's said, Puerto Rico, Yeah, they're 1:17:50.760 --> 1:17:53.599 you know, they're they part of us, but not really 1:17:53.720 --> 1:17:57.160 they just take and and just just the mentality that 1:17:58.240 --> 1:18:04.680 you know, otherwise he was a cool were you know, 1:18:04.920 --> 1:18:13.439 and so so the hold exactly. That's what the lafella 1:18:13.640 --> 1:18:16.680 is like lafella that the projects right there, that's what 1:18:16.760 --> 1:18:18.880 we really were fighting all, you know what I mean? 1:18:18.920 --> 1:18:20.400 And ship and then if you look at it, they 1:18:20.439 --> 1:18:23.320 goes from low easa. That's what is darker to meet. 1:18:23.360 --> 1:18:24.800 I spent a lot of time down now. I think 1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:34.720 that my nikos out there. We filmed the video. They 1:18:34.760 --> 1:18:36.800 had a song called Old Hector. We went to La Pearl. 1:18:36.960 --> 1:18:38.840 We filmed the video there. So I'm gonna send that 1:18:38.880 --> 1:18:45.439 to I'll be That's where I'll be at. Look, that's 1:18:45.479 --> 1:18:47.760 the thing. So we could talk about Trump, we could 1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:51.519 talk about Yeah, we could celebrities you know, they get 1:18:51.840 --> 1:18:56.800 you know, followers and like. But the people, right the 1:18:56.960 --> 1:19:01.599 people that's lacking that real growth, that real being woken, 1:19:02.120 --> 1:19:04.720 you know what I mean. That's that's the issue. None 1:19:04.760 --> 1:19:08.920 of none of these celebrities and politicians wouldn't matter if 1:19:09.000 --> 1:19:13.200 the people had sense as a whole, following joy we 1:19:13.360 --> 1:19:15.920 was putting in the work to understand what's going on 1:19:16.040 --> 1:19:19.600 in our lives, will be small basically, That's exactly it. 1:19:21.800 --> 1:19:24.200 It's not just a celebrity world is to activism world too. 1:19:24.280 --> 1:19:26.679 As y'all know, when you're dealing with activists and charities 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:30.040 and organizations. People get caught up in feeling like a 1:19:30.120 --> 1:19:32.840 hero exactly. But if you like, the Dead Press taught me, 1:19:33.280 --> 1:19:35.240 if you're not talking about food, clothing, show took for 1:19:35.320 --> 1:19:37.280 the people what you're talking about. It was all this 1:19:37.360 --> 1:19:39.160 type bees ship. You know, we get caught up with 1:19:39.600 --> 1:19:42.840 it's very seductive, very sexy to talk about all these celebrities, 1:19:42.880 --> 1:19:44.439 all these you know what I'm saying, But let me 1:19:44.560 --> 1:19:46.880 just let me I'm sorry, but I remember, like it 1:19:46.960 --> 1:19:50.680 was a certain time of the nineties growing up. Um 1:19:51.080 --> 1:19:54.920 it was cool to because it was cool. I came 1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:58.800 up in that. So no like and now it's it's 1:19:59.000 --> 1:20:01.600 this more gang ain't going on. But how do we 1:20:01.800 --> 1:20:03.760 how do we switch that back? How do we make it? 1:20:04.200 --> 1:20:08.280 You know what I'm saying, Yeah, the real talk is, 1:20:08.640 --> 1:20:12.800 but you gotta let these young dudes talk. Who's called 1:20:12.880 --> 1:20:15.960 real racist for real? For real? They they they're not, 1:20:16.400 --> 1:20:18.720 They're not. That was having a real conversations. We're not 1:20:18.840 --> 1:20:23.120 recording the real conversation, recording the visasti conversations, the ability 1:20:23.200 --> 1:20:29.519 of the conversation and conversation behind the door literally at 1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:32.080 the young stub. And then when they talk about getting 1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:36.960 their money. They talk about real business round it's real talk, 1:20:37.040 --> 1:20:38.800 and that's the ship that you want to hear. But 1:20:38.840 --> 1:20:40.640 I think that's it. That's it right there. It's not that, 1:20:41.040 --> 1:20:43.160 it's what it is is that the language change. Right. 1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:45.920 So we were from the generation of the consciousness of 1:20:45.920 --> 1:20:47.439 the more where you wear it on your sleeve, like 1:20:47.520 --> 1:20:49.160 I'm black and I'm black, and I'm black and I'm black. 1:20:49.400 --> 1:20:51.360 What I see what the what the newer generation is 1:20:51.400 --> 1:20:53.360 it's not so much wearing on your sleeve exact, but 1:20:53.439 --> 1:20:55.800 it's about but who am I as an individual? It's 1:20:55.840 --> 1:20:58.639 not so much relating to this social constrict of race, 1:20:59.040 --> 1:21:00.320 you know what I'm saying. But it's more to relate 1:21:00.320 --> 1:21:01.840 in the community, you know what I'm saying, Which I 1:21:01.880 --> 1:21:05.880 think that's a powerful move about. Like um even like 1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:09.680 right now, like Dapa Dad Gucci finally, like you know, 1:21:10.080 --> 1:21:12.639 high at someone, so we're going out there, we're buying 1:21:12.680 --> 1:21:16.200 Gucci has a high time rate. But one Dap is 1:21:16.240 --> 1:21:18.680 not getting all that money now because he's not he's 1:21:18.680 --> 1:21:21.639 not designing everything. It's it's his brand. But we don't 1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:23.960 most of us don't know that. In fact, most of 1:21:24.040 --> 1:21:25.360 us don't know that most of us are going out 1:21:25.439 --> 1:21:28.160 buying Gucci because we're like they hired that and the 1:21:28.200 --> 1:21:31.120 same thing, same thing. You knew. I was going like 1:21:31.320 --> 1:21:34.519 because the cat was the last one. And then like 1:21:34.680 --> 1:21:36.400 you got even the old lady. I forgot that they 1:21:36.479 --> 1:21:38.200 armed mean to call the old lady at the beautiful 1:21:38.200 --> 1:21:40.120 black lady that came to the award show and she 1:21:40.240 --> 1:21:44.920 wore a knife and it was not Kaepernick's particularly, it 1:21:45.040 --> 1:21:47.560 wasn't his ship, but she didn't she was she she 1:21:48.080 --> 1:21:50.000 was just underwaar. She was like, I'm wearing Nike for 1:21:50.800 --> 1:21:53.160 and it's like cool, we understand that. But if you're 1:21:53.160 --> 1:21:57.320 gonna support and support his ain't the plant. You know 1:21:57.360 --> 1:22:00.280 what I'm saying that Nike is a Trump supporter. He 1:22:00.400 --> 1:22:04.320 got hey donated and he chilled and he still doings 1:22:04.360 --> 1:22:07.000 to the NFL as y on mad prisons keep falling 1:22:07.040 --> 1:22:14.719 their money. Many owned prisons. Night Is Connected has invested 1:22:14.760 --> 1:22:18.439 in mad presidents in American more in California, like and 1:22:18.600 --> 1:22:21.920 so I mean prisoners has a long time. The prison 1:22:22.000 --> 1:22:26.360 industrial complex has been a crazy profitable investment for many people. 1:22:27.160 --> 1:22:29.519 So people like without conscience, A lot of people have 1:22:29.640 --> 1:22:33.240 become rich from linkers and prisons. Yeah, y'all knew that. Yeah. 1:22:33.520 --> 1:22:37.040 Now I went to state prison last week with the 1:22:37.160 --> 1:22:40.720 common who like Captick, so that I feel like we 1:22:40.960 --> 1:22:42.800 basically we gotta get out of the body. That's why 1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:46.760 for us revolutionary. But gangster was what made sense to us, 1:22:47.320 --> 1:22:51.559 because you want to change things, right, So what's this ship? 1:22:51.720 --> 1:22:56.439 Is my son general Gangster? But what's doing the work? 1:22:56.520 --> 1:23:00.479 Boy and the other one sell out. I won't sell 1:23:00.560 --> 1:23:07.800 that it's doing. But but the thing is balanced. This 1:23:08.040 --> 1:23:11.280 this is life. If you be on one extreme, right, 1:23:11.360 --> 1:23:14.280 you're gonna be imbalanced. So it was a time and 1:23:15.479 --> 1:23:18.000 hip hop culture where it was all about the art, 1:23:18.160 --> 1:23:21.640 all about the culture, and we pride ourselves on that. 1:23:22.120 --> 1:23:25.560 We mastered our crafts and we made that work in 1:23:25.640 --> 1:23:28.960 the world, right, But we went on top of the business, right. 1:23:29.240 --> 1:23:32.120 So then the flip side then proper started getting hip 1:23:32.200 --> 1:23:36.080 to all venice on the master's we're teaching each other through, 1:23:36.160 --> 1:23:39.080 you know, through the culture, right, And then we started 1:23:39.120 --> 1:23:42.639 focusing on that and to the to the without focusing 1:23:42.680 --> 1:23:45.040 on the culture though, right, So then it was about 1:23:45.080 --> 1:23:48.439 all about the money and and and we're still playing 1:23:48.520 --> 1:23:53.439 like yin yang instead of the woke folks getting the 1:23:53.560 --> 1:23:55.960 money you know what I mean, and or the or 1:23:56.040 --> 1:24:00.599 the rich folks getting some consciousness, right, because you need both. 1:24:00.800 --> 1:24:03.200 You gotta have you gotta have some sense and some values, 1:24:04.000 --> 1:24:06.320 but you gotta have some power and some and some 1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:09.559 bread to make certain things happen. So we we've been 1:24:09.640 --> 1:24:13.680 learning this as a culture. Individuals learned that from nate communities. 1:24:13.800 --> 1:24:17.240 Like jay Z pedigree was get money, you know what 1:24:17.280 --> 1:24:19.759 I mean? He learned that from his his his circle, 1:24:19.920 --> 1:24:22.320 right right when he was like I'm gonna tire after 1:24:22.400 --> 1:24:25.080 one album. But how many people did jay Z teach 1:24:25.640 --> 1:24:29.439 through through his actions, right, whether you call him conscious 1:24:29.560 --> 1:24:33.599 or not, right, he made he empowered people with his actions, right, 1:24:33.920 --> 1:24:36.080 And then how many people that are dropped all of 1:24:36.600 --> 1:24:39.080 you know, the weight of the planet Earth and how 1:24:39.200 --> 1:24:42.000 far it is from the sun, with no business, with 1:24:42.160 --> 1:24:45.280 nothing in place, not taking care of their kids, you know, right. 1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:47.880 So it's not about what you say on the mics, 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:49.560 and it's not about how much you got in the 1:24:49.640 --> 1:24:52.760 bank account, right is what why are you in the 1:24:52.880 --> 1:24:54.920 position you in and what are you doing with it? 1:24:55.160 --> 1:25:01.880 That's the new that's revolutionary. Gangs control your ship? Ok? Yeah, yeah, 1:25:02.200 --> 1:25:14.600 straight up? That brass was on this twenty years ago, bro, 1:25:14.960 --> 1:25:17.519 bust me that lighter and give thanks to you us too, 1:25:17.680 --> 1:25:19.439 and a lot of us really was. Like I said, 1:25:19.479 --> 1:25:22.600 there's conversations if you're in capitalism, like this is the analogy. 1:25:22.600 --> 1:25:26.519 If you you live in capitalism, imagine that's an ocean. 1:25:27.160 --> 1:25:31.200 A polluted ocean is everything filthy you can imagine in 1:25:31.320 --> 1:25:34.640 this water. Right, that's capitalism, right. But you in the 1:25:34.760 --> 1:25:40.280 middle of the motherfucking ocean, right, so, and and getting money, right, 1:25:40.640 --> 1:25:44.679 it's swimming and capitalism. Right. So you can hate the ocean. 1:25:45.040 --> 1:25:47.320 It could be poison, it could be all that. But 1:25:47.400 --> 1:25:49.479 if you're in the middle of ocean, you gotta be 1:25:49.600 --> 1:25:52.920 swimming or you gotta be on the boat up or drowning. 1:25:53.000 --> 1:25:55.400 So you have to figure out how to float and 1:25:55.520 --> 1:25:58.679 how to get towards some land, some some something solid 1:25:59.200 --> 1:26:03.040 in the meantime. So we can't ignore the system that 1:26:03.160 --> 1:26:05.160 we live in, you know what, We can't ignore that 1:26:06.439 --> 1:26:10.400 cap But they still want to watch football, and they 1:26:10.479 --> 1:26:14.839 feel like they feel like they're not violate. I love football, 1:26:14.920 --> 1:26:17.879 you'll you love football. I like football. Did you watch football? 1:26:18.640 --> 1:26:21.519 I watched you did watch it? I watched I didn't 1:26:21.560 --> 1:26:23.639 watch it. You did you watch it? Because of Cappenick. 1:26:23.680 --> 1:26:26.880 Did you watch it now this season? I haven't got 1:26:26.960 --> 1:26:31.120 a chance to. But do you think people have stopped 1:26:31.120 --> 1:26:34.920 watching it because of Cappinick? Um, I can't tell you 1:26:35.240 --> 1:26:37.880 people don't, do you think so? I don't watch too 1:26:37.960 --> 1:26:41.280 much sports, but I can't imagine somebody who watching watching 1:26:41.479 --> 1:26:43.479 some people and I think it's something, but I wanted 1:26:43.560 --> 1:26:53.519 Rihanna just turn down the stupa that I think. But 1:26:53.600 --> 1:26:57.240 I think for performing in the Super Bowl, I don't 1:26:57.240 --> 1:26:59.360 know if you know that they pay no reduction and 1:26:59.400 --> 1:27:01.519 they paid for like get trapped and all that your 1:27:01.560 --> 1:27:09.080 restores number one and turn it down to down. I 1:27:09.200 --> 1:27:11.840 think they understand their platforms, which is why they are 1:27:11.880 --> 1:27:14.599 who they are, the sisters always. They understand their platform. 1:27:14.600 --> 1:27:18.519 They understand the power world the platform. I don't. I don't. 1:27:18.640 --> 1:27:21.880 I don't watch sports, but I think that's a personal choice. 1:27:22.479 --> 1:27:25.280 You know if because like I can't imagine, I don't know, 1:27:25.520 --> 1:27:28.000 y'all can tell me. I can't imagine somebody who's been 1:27:28.000 --> 1:27:30.280 watching football every sea, every every year in their life, 1:27:31.000 --> 1:27:34.560 but who also is woke right and also agrees with 1:27:34.720 --> 1:27:38.320 Kaepernick's position just saying no, I can't watch what you 1:27:38.360 --> 1:27:45.479 guys will turn the whole TV off, right, Yeah, everybody, Okay, 1:27:45.600 --> 1:27:47.479 if that's cool, and I get it, right, I mean, 1:27:47.800 --> 1:27:52.400 but my point is asked, kick, I like that guy, 1:27:53.040 --> 1:27:55.280 you know, and I understand we all we all, we 1:27:55.320 --> 1:27:58.080 all agree with that. So then if that's not gonna work, 1:27:58.479 --> 1:28:00.960 because I'm not saying it's not, I'm just trying to 1:28:01.000 --> 1:28:05.639 say that ain't typing people, wasn't sucking NFL or any 1:28:05.680 --> 1:28:09.439 of that ship. So that what works because I think 1:28:09.560 --> 1:28:12.559 he I think what he's on, what he's doing works. Yeah, 1:28:12.640 --> 1:28:15.320 but then how I think I think it's bigger than 1:28:15.400 --> 1:28:17.679 the fun that we plugged that Into's something that works. 1:28:17.760 --> 1:28:19.160 But it was the thing about it. But the thing 1:28:19.200 --> 1:28:21.759 about it, the thing about it is it was publicly 1:28:21.840 --> 1:28:25.160 known when Chris Style didn't funk with us and we 1:28:25.360 --> 1:28:27.760 made we actually made a difference and said fuck it 1:28:27.920 --> 1:28:30.880 that it was still don't do that. That's what I'm saying. 1:28:32.280 --> 1:28:35.519 This is not Christal. What's the difference between everyone and founded. 1:28:35.720 --> 1:28:38.560 Everyone didn't have access to Christal because it was it 1:28:38.640 --> 1:28:43.080 was expressive. NFL is free, NFL is free. You know 1:28:43.120 --> 1:28:46.960 what I'm saying, Like Kristal was was advertising, was it 1:28:47.200 --> 1:28:49.840 was a luxury. It was a luxury. Look at it. 1:28:50.560 --> 1:28:53.559 Who wasn't had luxury, didn't like fun crystal anyway, They 1:28:53.600 --> 1:28:56.040 couldn't afford it anyway. But look at it like that 1:28:58.320 --> 1:29:04.559 the bottom you gonna be. Yeah, but now NFL for free, 1:29:05.160 --> 1:29:08.320 Now that's that's his that's his biggest So on the 1:29:08.400 --> 1:29:10.280 other end, but I think it's like a Dolli effect. 1:29:10.360 --> 1:29:11.920 I don't. I don't think they were able to see 1:29:11.960 --> 1:29:14.479 it when I Leave was doing it, yeah, yeah, when 1:29:14.479 --> 1:29:16.120 I leave, When I Leave was out there, you know, 1:29:16.200 --> 1:29:18.479 with the ward with anti warship, when he was when, 1:29:19.600 --> 1:29:21.320 I don't think they saw it at the time he 1:29:21.439 --> 1:29:23.760 was hating the spies, Yeah, and I think they were 1:29:23.760 --> 1:29:26.200 saying he would never work again. You know. I think 1:29:26.280 --> 1:29:28.560 that the impact he's bigger than boxing. You know. I 1:29:28.640 --> 1:29:35.240 think I think Kaepernick's way and shout out to all 1:29:35.280 --> 1:29:38.439 those brothers, all the athletes or athletists who do take 1:29:38.479 --> 1:29:41.320 them sacrifice, because there's so many who have gone down 1:29:41.360 --> 1:29:45.880 that road backing, rapping though. Um, these people who have 1:29:46.000 --> 1:29:47.760 gone against the grain and made the NBA say you know, 1:29:47.840 --> 1:29:50.400 you can't come here no more. And because and I 1:29:51.200 --> 1:29:57.439 I think you just don't know that. Yeah, that people too. 1:29:58.520 --> 1:30:02.000 Why the people that lose are the ones that we 1:30:02.200 --> 1:30:04.680 big up. And then like colon cap right there, it 1:30:04.840 --> 1:30:09.400 was integrity, like we all kid night on that right now. 1:30:09.880 --> 1:30:13.240 But people mad because he got a check from Nike 1:30:13.560 --> 1:30:17.120 right like we was happy. It was like you know 1:30:18.200 --> 1:30:21.200 from the I'm not moving say like people be talking. 1:30:21.880 --> 1:30:24.000 I think that's a bit, but hit me all right. 1:30:24.320 --> 1:30:27.600 He my thing is Captor stood on his ship like 1:30:27.840 --> 1:30:36.120 he's had one hunter, right, more than one hunter. Quack lost, 1:30:36.160 --> 1:30:39.560 you lost his name, You still got a v and 1:30:39.640 --> 1:30:41.320 you lost work. You know what I mean? What about 1:30:41.360 --> 1:30:44.200 the win? See, we want to focus on and I 1:30:44.240 --> 1:30:46.200 think that was a win to he it's a win. 1:30:46.479 --> 1:30:49.200 And before he got that Nike check, with the money 1:30:49.240 --> 1:30:51.759 he was making from the NFL, he was donating millions 1:30:51.840 --> 1:30:55.439 here and there. Drop took a plane to some mania 1:30:55.800 --> 1:30:58.680 doing all that ship. So he's clear smart man. He's 1:30:58.720 --> 1:31:03.160 talking plane in Somalia, got with supplies Somalia a place 1:31:03.320 --> 1:31:07.320 we can't even land. The place that that straight where 1:31:07.360 --> 1:31:11.080 you where where in the USS? Cap cap cap walk, 1:31:11.120 --> 1:31:17.479 the walk that conversation. I mean he thought that he's 1:31:17.479 --> 1:31:21.240 trying to fit and actually humble in spirit knows that 1:31:21.560 --> 1:31:22.960 at the end of the day, we don't all know 1:31:23.080 --> 1:31:25.320 it at all, but ready to be like, how can 1:31:25.360 --> 1:31:30.400 I do it? How can he got white parents? And 1:31:34.760 --> 1:31:37.479 what I'm saying that he unders he takes he has 1:31:37.520 --> 1:31:39.640 a level of provilege that people don't have, and he's like, 1:31:39.760 --> 1:31:42.040 I'm flipping my level of provilege to do as much 1:31:42.120 --> 1:31:44.439 as I could possibly flip it. That's the best way 1:31:44.680 --> 1:31:48.080 to help count on racism is to have you know, 1:31:48.560 --> 1:31:52.400 not just us, but have the white people there with 1:31:52.479 --> 1:31:55.760 racism fighting once.

You said, I'm like, no, that's my camp like, 1:44:11.600 --> 1:44:13.639 but then they have no reference points.

So we can take a shot of y'all. 1:49:36.439 --> 1:49:38.000 I think it's about right we take a shot of that, 1:49:38.400 --> 1:49:42.160 because you know what, I can't be saying, I can't 1:49:42.160 --> 1:49:46.000 give you that that brand, me saying artist support artists, 1:49:46.520 --> 1:49:49.479 and then me not open that do that because I'm 1:49:49.520 --> 1:49:51.960 really not a Kanyak dude, even though I do not, 1:49:52.680 --> 1:49:54.920 but I like that you y'all like that I'm not 1:49:55.040 --> 1:49:57.559 a Kanyak guy. I stopped. So you've been drinking, Yeah, 1:49:57.600 --> 1:49:59.880 I have, because you don't have whiskey. But it's cool. 1:50:00.240 --> 1:50:07.360 I can handle saying I asked you don't drink it. 1:50:08.439 --> 1:50:11.280 I'm gonna be honest. I wanted to do a study because, 1:50:11.680 --> 1:50:14.160 like I want to see, like, why are people genetically 1:50:14.360 --> 1:50:17.880 like because it's like what you drink. It might be 1:50:18.080 --> 1:50:25.640 racist because I drink because it's cheap whiskey. I think 1:50:25.680 --> 1:50:33.960 we genetically. I think I'm not think I think every 1:50:34.120 --> 1:50:36.840 racist like that. I think I think that's the reason why, 1:50:36.960 --> 1:50:40.400 like certain like I'm being honest, like because i'm giving 1:50:40.400 --> 1:50:49.040 out wrong. Yeah yeah, but if you've been put on 1:50:49.200 --> 1:50:51.439 the ship, you drink it. And that's what it is. 1:50:52.080 --> 1:50:54.360 Because I came. I did it all. You know what, man? 1:50:54.400 --> 1:50:57.320 I started with ian J not mean going to high school, 1:50:57.400 --> 1:51:01.160 started with almost right oh you right up. I started 1:51:02.479 --> 1:51:08.880 exactly like Strand. And so my point is, like that's 1:51:08.960 --> 1:51:12.479 the worst part of right and through stages when hand 1:51:12.560 --> 1:51:14.759 came out, when mob D would have the Hennessee jerseys, 1:51:14.800 --> 1:51:16.920 I was I was rocking hand when I would started 1:51:16.920 --> 1:51:21.000 staying and I went to Mexico and got thinks and 1:51:21.080 --> 1:51:23.280 I got tequila in my system, and that for many 1:51:23.360 --> 1:51:26.519 years before all of the tequila. But now I'm arrived 1:51:26.560 --> 1:51:28.479 that whiskey and it just is with it. You can't judge. 1:51:28.560 --> 1:51:31.519 You can't judge me, you can't judge I honestly feel 1:51:31.520 --> 1:51:33.519 like I feel like what I noticed is I feel 1:51:33.520 --> 1:51:35.360 like at the end of the drinking is a game 1:51:35.439 --> 1:51:39.040 with levels. You go get your whiskey at some point, 1:51:39.360 --> 1:51:41.880 right If you don't, you ain't really drinking. Really you 1:51:42.160 --> 1:51:45.679 want whisky. Put us, put us, give us some whiskey, 1:51:45.720 --> 1:51:51.240 put us on. Like I drink jamison. I'm yeah. Some 1:51:51.280 --> 1:51:53.920 people drink drink the Black Johnny walk Up, black Bread 1:51:54.000 --> 1:51:57.640 and the green and it's cool. But I know, you know, 1:51:57.760 --> 1:52:00.479 I don't. Like I'm gonna be honest like moved. I 1:52:00.520 --> 1:52:05.680 have a no. I don't drink heavily whiskey, but I can. 1:52:11.600 --> 1:52:14.559 I was introduced to whiskey in Ireland. And the reason 1:52:14.600 --> 1:52:23.000 why I know about Ireland is because its flaw no, no, 1:52:23.160 --> 1:52:26.880 nothing like that like that. It's it's black, it's black people, 1:52:27.320 --> 1:52:30.560 it's black people in Ireland. Really it really is. But 1:52:30.760 --> 1:52:33.360 really more than that, the Irish people who got a 1:52:33.360 --> 1:52:36.200 connection to the Black Revolution. And I'm gonna go right 1:52:36.320 --> 1:52:41.519 there because that's the reason why I respected it the most. 1:52:41.720 --> 1:52:45.439 When when we went to tour in Europe, it was 1:52:45.560 --> 1:52:49.559 the Irish and the Scottish people who came to us 1:52:49.600 --> 1:52:52.680 and was like, Yo, what is your opinion? What do 1:52:52.720 --> 1:52:55.560 you think about Rupert Murder? They hate and all that 1:52:55.640 --> 1:52:58.519 movement to all that movement, all that movement, all those 1:52:58.560 --> 1:53:04.400 people are also um, you know, associated or a friendly 1:53:04.640 --> 1:53:08.280 with anti imperialist movements around the world. But when I 1:53:08.320 --> 1:53:12.240 say anti imperialists, I mean like anti like capitalist colonialists, 1:53:12.400 --> 1:53:15.559 and I know these deep words for us, you know whatever, 1:53:15.760 --> 1:53:17.439 I just want to say that that's the reason why 1:53:18.720 --> 1:53:22.879 we can relate, because we know we have common likeness. 1:53:23.320 --> 1:53:25.920 So like, um, like the Irish people was like I 1:53:26.040 --> 1:53:29.200 support Malcolm X.

We was going through journeys of figuring out 2:07:41.080 --> 2:07:44.800 vegetarianism and veganism. There wasn't even a really aspect of 2:07:45.120 --> 2:07:48.200 vegan at that point. It wasn't a thing. They still 2:07:51.560 --> 2:07:54.360 so so so at that point, like we were trying 2:07:54.400 --> 2:07:56.880 to figure it out. We we don't know. We're like, okay, 2:07:57.160 --> 2:07:59.960 stop even beating the message to the message not start 2:08:00.720 --> 2:08:03.160 I'm poor chicken, the beef. What do we eat?

But just because 2:08:12.800 --> 2:08:15.440 during the week we're trying to stop so hard. But 2:08:15.600 --> 2:08:18.360 it's a balance and it's a like staff, it's a 2:08:18.440 --> 2:08:22.560 culture that's people could have the knowledge, right, That's another thing. People, 2:08:22.640 --> 2:08:25.360 you can have an information right. We we know we're 2:08:25.360 --> 2:08:27.720 supposed to drink water, we know we're supposed to eat greens, 2:08:27.760 --> 2:08:30.440 and you know we have the information right. But we 2:08:30.520 --> 2:08:33.720 don't have the inspiration that acted on it. Right. So 2:08:34.160 --> 2:08:36.280 that's what R B G Fit Club is about. Its 2:08:36.320 --> 2:08:40.880 creating using we make music around it. So like um um, 2:08:41.240 --> 2:08:43.600 so you can have the inspiration to door like there's 2:08:43.680 --> 2:08:47.080 something like coaching them new album healthy Gangster Like. It's 2:08:47.160 --> 2:08:50.320 about when you when you need that extra push, when 2:08:50.360 --> 2:08:53.000 you felt like half ass and today you're gonna you're 2:08:53.000 --> 2:08:56.160 gonna give it a hunting and ten percent because it's motivating, 2:08:56.240 --> 2:08:58.000 you know what I mean? Like, that's the part missing 2:08:58.400 --> 2:09:01.000 this the information age. It ain't no information you can't 2:09:01.040 --> 2:09:04.680 get but you can't get you can't um information don't 2:09:04.680 --> 2:09:08.000 apply itself. You know, inspiration gotta do that. So we 2:09:08.160 --> 2:09:11.920 used the culture to bring it forward. Its beautiful out 2:09:17.280 --> 2:09:20.920 to get spreaders. And though the hip hop we have 2:09:21.160 --> 2:09:26.480 no age limit, we have no limitation, we have no nothing. 2:09:27.000 --> 2:09:29.240 We can continue to do this ship as long as 2:09:29.280 --> 2:09:32.480 we want. We ain't playing football. We been running on 2:09:32.600 --> 2:09:36.280 our This ain't basketball. Well needs didn't you drop out? 2:09:37.040 --> 2:09:42.760 I'm a Williams. My LEAs is not good. Everybody everybody 2:09:42.800 --> 2:09:49.000 black named Williams out there. I believe you. I'm trying 2:09:49.040 --> 2:09:52.720 to tell you. I believe what I'm trying to tell 2:09:52.760 --> 2:09:55.520 you as and I like, these people want to push 2:09:55.640 --> 2:09:59.280 us out of this. Uh. And they want to just 2:09:59.320 --> 2:10:01.240 because they say it's a young man's sport and they 2:10:01.280 --> 2:10:05.160 can feel a young man's sport as a young man's version. Okay, 2:10:05.320 --> 2:10:08.040 it's a young man's version. Yeah, hip is. I mean 2:10:08.320 --> 2:10:10.720 it's wrong by the youth. That's why we can't believe, 2:10:11.200 --> 2:10:16.880 like really like critique them too much, because that's there. 2:10:17.880 --> 2:10:20.400 The thing is, the thing is we have our own 2:10:20.480 --> 2:10:23.480 audience to kated to. Right, we should be worried about 2:10:23.520 --> 2:10:29.240 the audience. And yeah, I see we're saying that. We 2:10:29.560 --> 2:10:32.040 talk about old school in our show, right, And when 2:10:32.120 --> 2:10:34.920 you say the word old school, people think they automatically 2:10:35.000 --> 2:10:38.080 think a time period, right, But that's not what old 2:10:38.120 --> 2:10:41.360 school means. Old school means a certain set of values, 2:10:42.080 --> 2:10:44.640 you know what I'm saying. And that and that's timeless, 2:10:45.320 --> 2:10:47.040 you know what I'm saying. So it's not about going 2:10:47.280 --> 2:10:50.000 going back to our era and trying to recreate that 2:10:51.000 --> 2:10:55.880 is having the values in you know, that's timeless. What 2:10:55.920 --> 2:10:58.440 I'm saying timeless. And this is what I was just 2:10:58.760 --> 2:11:02.360 trying to tell the brothers is you know, um, so 2:11:02.480 --> 2:11:06.360 many people so many, you know, they just go unappreciated, 2:11:06.400 --> 2:11:08.800 and then sometimes a person don't even you don't even 2:11:08.840 --> 2:11:13.240 get the chance to hear thank you.

I want to lose school school, 2:16:50.480 --> 2:16:54.640 especially in this era of social media where you're talking 2:16:54.640 --> 2:16:59.040 about people who voluntarily saying, I'm a post to Nazi 2:16:59.120 --> 2:17:01.760 ship on Twitter and I'm you know what I'm saying, 2:17:01.840 --> 2:17:04.560 like and like Donald Trump, Donald Trump was running for president, 2:17:05.360 --> 2:17:09.800 he retreated neo Nazi account seventy five times. I was saying. 2:17:10.600 --> 2:17:14.200 A year later, Nazis is marching to Charlotte, Charlottesville running 2:17:14.240 --> 2:17:17.240 motherfucker's over killing my fucking you know, to me, this 2:17:17.440 --> 2:17:20.800 is not comminker know what I'm saying, And that's all 2:17:20.840 --> 2:17:23.960 it is. Like I'm looking at it like like in 2:17:24.040 --> 2:17:28.840 the online face in the digital space, black class man. 2:17:29.040 --> 2:17:32.200 I didn't see it, Spike, and I was interested to 2:17:32.240 --> 2:17:36.080 see it because a Spike. He it was ill Spikes 2:17:36.120 --> 2:17:39.240 the ship it was. But my mind is it reminded 2:17:39.280 --> 2:17:41.920 me of you because something you like. He gave a 2:17:41.959 --> 2:17:44.200 guy the audience, but he he actually brought him down, 2:17:44.760 --> 2:17:47.120 but it was so much. The thing about it is 2:17:48.040 --> 2:17:50.800 he has spent so much time on taking this guy 2:17:50.879 --> 2:17:52.520 because he was speaking to David Duke. This is a 2:17:52.600 --> 2:17:58.879 black guy because David Duke is some story, right, yeah, story, 2:17:59.280 --> 2:18:03.760 But think about like you. I feel like I know 2:18:04.080 --> 2:18:06.320 where your mind is. I know I act time you 2:18:06.440 --> 2:18:08.120 came here. I asked you to get in the politics. 2:18:08.160 --> 2:18:09.400 You I don't think you said you wanted to be 2:18:09.480 --> 2:18:14.680 in politics. Um remember okay, but um, because that's what 2:18:14.800 --> 2:18:17.800 I think. I think. I'm sorry. I feel like like 2:18:18.000 --> 2:18:22.400 t I, if t I was mayor Atlanta, I would 2:18:22.800 --> 2:18:25.680 with Atlanta a little bit more than already. Politics. It's 2:18:25.720 --> 2:18:29.240 a cold game. But the thing is that it's the 2:18:29.320 --> 2:18:32.840 music business. Just hit me out, hit me out, me, 2:18:33.240 --> 2:18:37.800 hit me out, hit me out, hit me out killing 2:18:38.120 --> 2:18:43.440 I never okay, hit me out, hit me out. The 2:18:43.560 --> 2:18:46.680 way you got examples of the music business, right, you 2:18:46.800 --> 2:18:49.600 got like cool herbs, and you got like um these 2:18:49.640 --> 2:18:52.600 people who who sacrificed for us, but then they didn't 2:18:52.640 --> 2:18:54.600 make it. But then you keep going up the ladder 2:18:54.840 --> 2:18:57.800 and there's people more and more and more. I think 2:18:59.440 --> 2:19:05.120 that We'll Smith and Dave Chappelle, although they were playing around, 2:19:05.240 --> 2:19:07.760 I think yeah, I think they were playing definitely, But 2:19:07.959 --> 2:19:10.440 I would not that was just playing. I would not 2:19:10.640 --> 2:19:12.440 how about how about me? I would not just want 2:19:12.480 --> 2:19:15.000 to say, there's some very equipped brothers. It takes more 2:19:15.080 --> 2:19:19.199 than just like popularity, not nowadays, that's not what who's 2:19:19.200 --> 2:19:20.520 in the order to get it. I get it, but 2:19:20.560 --> 2:19:24.120 that's that's not qualifies leadership. But that's not what qualiflies 2:19:25.160 --> 2:19:27.440 Will Smith is doing with his family qualifies as me. 2:19:27.720 --> 2:19:30.800 So I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that his 2:19:30.920 --> 2:19:34.119 old family, I feel like he gets struck.

Chapelle's to put in the galaxy some ship, 2:20:27.879 --> 2:20:31.240 some ship that could bounce back and maybe and then 2:20:31.320 --> 2:20:33.080 we can say, yo, we want to really do that 2:20:34.840 --> 2:20:39.720 to day?

Disagreeing he 2:21:12.000 --> 2:21:15.560 had too much and this is not too much. Can't Bush. 2:21:17.280 --> 2:21:25.080 We don't fertiicizeber because we gotta go.

You're talking 2:21:55.760 --> 2:22:01.160 about Corey booking Florian book. I kind of disagree with 2:22:01.440 --> 2:22:05.760 some of you know he in New Jersey. I just no, no, no, 2:22:05.879 --> 2:22:11.600 we we disagree with him for real, for real, would 2:22:11.640 --> 2:22:16.600 be it's hard corean corean don't do It's hard in 2:22:16.760 --> 2:22:19.880 this in this space because people haven't have to be 2:22:20.000 --> 2:22:22.520 aligned with Like what's going on in this power structure? Man, 2:22:22.600 --> 2:22:27.560 my fucking beat is running it and they aliveing.

Like 2:22:33.959 --> 2:22:36.920 you got like people with money who buying the presidency? 2:22:38.120 --> 2:22:40.440 So like so you asked me, who then doesn't have 2:22:40.560 --> 2:22:42.560 to qualify to be a rich person and I'm talking 2:22:42.560 --> 2:22:44.840 about people who really understand leadership and who can lay 2:22:44.840 --> 2:22:48.240 down organization. They're gonna lead fairness, people who were, like, 2:22:48.320 --> 2:22:53.400 really been studying. I'm an anti capitalist. So there's almost 2:22:53.440 --> 2:22:56.200 nobody in this in this shape, but I think everybody 2:22:56.320 --> 2:23:01.400 understand doing better. I think Bernie because and that's why 2:23:01.480 --> 2:23:04.600 people understand killer Mike Moore because he was a supporter 2:23:04.680 --> 2:23:11.160 of burning.
