So 64 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: you take a dude like that and you put him 65 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: in the same arena, on the same field or the 66 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: same court as some dude who basically been sped with 67 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: to still a spoon, and what kind of results you 68 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: think you're gonna get. He gonna he donna look like 69 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: a freaking nature to that dude, because that that dude 70 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: don't understand that not only do we have his his 71 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: own uh personal aspirations and whatever, but he's also he 72 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: has this because he's thinking, man, I can actually break 73 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: the generational chris with my talent. I can lift my 74 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: whole family up out the hood with my talent, I 75 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: can take my neighborhood and put my neighborhood on the 76 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: back and taking many of these cats that I grew 77 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: up with along for the ride. That's a lot of 78 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: rish possibility we're going in in these situations, whether where 79 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: they be music or sports or whatever. You know, with 80 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: the idea that man, we've got a lot of people 81 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: to feed, you know, and we like and our we 82 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: were teenagers and twenty something years old with these type 83 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: of responsibilities and at least, you know, having these type 84 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: of thoughts. But we feel like we're obligated, you know, 85 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: to to look after everybody or and you know, you 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: talked about the community factor. I saw that you guys 87 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: that both ran for city council. Do you you know 88 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: one of the things we always talked about on this show. 89 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: I think there's a need for that. And I always 90 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: wonder why folks that's not from the community are the 91 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: ones up there at the top. They know what's going 92 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: on in the community, they know everyone in the community. Yeah, 93 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm talking about not just a council 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: member from the city councilman, the mayor, of the police. 95 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Those should be people from the actual community. A big 96 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: part of it, that's a great question. A big part 97 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: of it is that the we live in a society 98 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: with people like to remind you of your past, and 99 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: if you have a past where you may have you know, 100 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: got into a little trouble or whatever. But we know 101 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: politics is a dirty game and they're gonna use that 102 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: past against you. And another thing is that we don't 103 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: want to be seen as hypocriticals, like what do you 104 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: mean you start up there telling people to do the 105 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: right thing, you didn't always do the right thing. And 106 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: we we we we we get caught up in that 107 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 1: and and and those type of moments, and were listening 108 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: to people who don't want to really see our communities, 109 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: uh involved. And a lot of these people look like us, 110 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: but we don't see it because we just see color. 111 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: But a lot of times it's it's the people before. 112 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Before we can get to the white gate keepers, you 113 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: gotta get past the black gate keep and a lot 114 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: of the black gate keepers would be the main rue 115 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: before your pass in your face. They see you trying 116 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: to better yourself. You're talking about, uh, you know about 117 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: cleaning up the community. You're talking about, Hey, don't feel good? 118 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: People like that? Don't we doing dribe? Don't be sitting 119 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: with you in your head you start talking like that. 120 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: You know what about when we did there? So what 121 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: about when you did that? And that right there is 122 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: what you did.

You don't have that kind of 229 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: money to go to college. Bro, it's any grand to 230 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: go to college. Well, here's here's my standing with you know, 231 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: my you know my my my my daughter just uh 232 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: passed the boss and she was with now now she 233 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: graduated from Fordam. Uh. But my son and she's in 234 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: New York. My son hasn't business school in London, right, 235 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: So my son and daughter, you know, we sent them 236 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: to college because you know, not because they needed that, 237 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: but we wanted them to have options. They had other 238 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: dreams and aspirations. I ain't never wanted my kid to 239 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: do what I do or try to pressure them to 240 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: do something. Life is about access and options. If you 241 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: think about your your own life, anytime you had access 242 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: and you and options, you you always seem to be 243 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: a little happy, right when you have access and options. 244 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,599 Speaker 1: So I sent my kids to those schools to go 245 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: get the information and come back with it and then 246 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: use it against it. That's what I sent mine and 247 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: to go infantcrate, go get the information and but but 248 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: they got the option. If they want to use that, 249 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: you can. If you want to go work for somebody, 250 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: that's fine. But I did not send my kids to 251 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: college with with the with the uh with the idea 252 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: of them going to big somebody else for a job big, 253 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: and it's somebody that we know that don't like us 254 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: for a job. That's we gotta make sure that we 255 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: get over that notion when we do. If we do 256 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: so our kids to college, we gotta keep that in mind. 257 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: That we can't be sending our kids to school and 258 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: expecting them to uh to go do all the right 259 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: things but they're supposed to do, get that degree and 260 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: then go big. These same people that we complain about 261 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: every single day that are discriminated against us, hating us 262 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: and hating on us, and and trying and trying to suppress, 263 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, our movement. Uh, And we can't be relying 264 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: on them to to give us a job, or to 265 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: give us a promotion, or to help lot in life. 266 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: You can't do that. We gotta start building creating jobs 267 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: before our kids enter the job market. That way they 268 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: don't have to go big and somebody else for a job. Mama, 269 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: Mama and dad. I already took care of that. We 270 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: got that cover. Because if you want to come in 271 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: family business, you can't. But if you want to go 272 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: do your own thing, you got that option. So we 273 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: gotta start with the first option. Number one should always 274 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: be the family business exactly. And I'm a strong proponent 275 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: of that because the thing is, I know some people 276 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: that's doing our right life right, but everybody, you know, 277 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: this really rich that really got money, they work for themselves. Yeah, 278 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, No, I don't know, no, I don't 279 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: know no bigging there is to work for somebody. I 280 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: don't know no millionaires to work for somebody. And I'm 281 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: pretty sure it's a few of them out there, but 282 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: they're few and far between them. Yeah, And if they 283 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: do somebody that they're they're at the CEO, they're the CEOs, 284 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: the CEO orders, you know, they're at the time they're 285 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: putting all of the putting the Curson screens, they're calling 286 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: all the shots. They're right their own check basically exactly, 287 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: because I know James talked about it a couple of 288 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: times of actually, you know, building the trade school, like 289 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, you've got universities building a trade school for 290 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: guys that's probably like just fresh out of the twelfth grade, 291 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, fresh out of high school, who don't have 292 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: no options where they can go learn different trades out there, 293 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: because they are all ways to make money out there. 294 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: Besides stand on the corner because the hustlers did m 295 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, standing on those blockers did and everything, And 296 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: I blame it two wheel. What happened to the then 297 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: they used to teach then they used to do that 298 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: in high school and offer that you the wood shopping 299 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: and machine shopping building CAUs that school. Yeah, So so 300 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: what happened where they just started snatching those programs. Here's 301 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: what happened. They said back, and they said, these negroes 302 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: don't need us. They got they got trades. They're not 303 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: coming they get the jobs for us. They're starting their 304 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: own businesses. They're being self deficient and independent. So what 305 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: do we have to do. We're gonna squeeze them. So so, 306 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: since we can't squeeze them out of the job market, 307 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: they're not coming for us for the job. We can't 308 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: squeeze them out of the job market. What we'll do 309 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: is we'll just put the hammer down on them and 310 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: ride on them. Uh. Set these traps out here, whether 311 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: it be the dope track or whether it be some 312 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: other kind of trap, open though some kind of weight. 313 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: We bring them in. You know, maybe maybe the trapper 314 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: is don't miss the the bease. Maybe maybe maybe the trappers. 315 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: You know you are you you you uh? You know 316 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: you had a dispute in the neighborhood or whatever, and 317 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: you you know, you slap somebody or put somebody down 318 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: on the ground. They sink, you know, you gotta reck. 319 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is that ultimately the ideas they 320 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: want our bodies warm or cold, they'll take the wrong 321 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: since they can't make no money with us with the trade. See, 322 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: we can't make no money with us because we we 323 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: we realized we can do our own things. When we 324 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: got a trade, we don't need them. They say, well, 325 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: well we got another way to get you. We'll get 326 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: you before you ever even need it. You can even 327 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: use that trade. Well, we'll set these path doc up 328 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: for you that you on into it, take you over 329 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: to the prison system, and we'll get your ask to 330 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: go for free.

I'm gonna tell you 366 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: something weird. The welfare system has people are coming. It 367 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: is crypt our community because I'm gonna tell you, I'm 368 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: embritly from Cleveland, Ohio. I'm gonna tell you the house 369 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: the people I grew up with next door, the mama, 370 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: and the mama was on welfare. Now I'm guessing who 371 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: they are the same kids that I grew up with. 372 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: Jarge Steve over here. They are on welfare and got kids. 373 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: That's what they do. They get together full of money. 374 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: And what are these white folks tell the people You 375 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: can keep getting this money as long as you don't 376 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: bring up in here, lay up with out here. But 377 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: now that we know that, like hold on. But now 378 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: that we know that it's on us. See, I'm gonna 379 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: tell you one thing that I you know, I do 380 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: believe that all of us, as human beings, we have 381 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: a right to complain about something. If something bothers you, 382 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: you have a right to complain. But after you complain, 383 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: do something. And there's too many of us that just 384 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: just complain but don't do anything after we complain as men, 385 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: as men, I think it's unmanly and and don't put 386 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: any action behind it. I think it's unmanly, right, I think. 387 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it's unmanly. I think it's unmanly to not 388 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: be a warrior, to not be a protector, to not 389 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: be a provider. I think it's um I think it's 390 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: unmanly to live upon a woman and expect a woman 391 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: to take care of you. I think that's you know 392 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: what I mean to do it. Let me say this, if, 393 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: if if we allowed the system to tell continue to 394 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: spoon feed us, they're gonna always be in the same 395 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: condition that we're in. You know, father, you see what 396 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: I'm saying, And you know we want we want we 397 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: want the right to do this, We want the right 398 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: to do that. Why then do we still have to 399 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: ask for and I could do some ship well, this 400 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: should already be granted anyway.

McConnell, 411 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: Mr McConnell is the biggest piece of ship in the Senate, y'all. 412 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all pay attention to politics, but 413 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: he's the be he's the biggest piece of ship, and 414 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: he's the biggest piece in the Senate.

You know, they keep getting on Trump about 420 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: this tech stuff, right, and I thought about the taxation 421 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: in itself is as it should be against the law. 422 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: It's horrible. You know when when when we first when 423 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: when they came first came over here, you know, to 424 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: America whatever and settled it.

Then they turned around in the eight 427 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: hundreds and did the same thing again because it's the 428 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: time of war. You an't supposed to take taxes when 429 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: it's time of war. That was the thing to support 430 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: the war. But they kept it going because America has 431 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: managed to keep herself in the state of war since then, 432 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 1: around the world we somewhere fightings, and it allows them 433 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: to keep taking all money.

It's all a con game, man. Yeah, 461 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: money going back into the time and they go back 462 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: to the park. But who's gonna be the person? It's like, 463 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, We're sit up here and talk well, and 464 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't like talking to me. I'm about action, Like you, 465 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: what what can we do about this ship? We don't 466 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: have no real strong leadership in the community. Man. There's 467 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: a lot of ship that's really just going sideways. You know, 468 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: I have uh you know, I take issue with like 469 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: like leadership, like black leadership, like saying that we don't 470 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: have lead ship. And the reason why I take issue 471 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: with that is because if we if we focus on 472 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: a leader, anytime we have somebody, we can say that's 473 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: our leader, that's our leader. When they killed the leader, 474 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: they take out the leader, then the movement dies. And 475 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: see this our movement. This is why every time we 476 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: get a movement going, you met, everybody get on a board. Okay, 477 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: we got our leader, and then they take them down 478 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: and then the movement just died. So every single one 479 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: of us have leadership in us. We have We are 480 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: capable of beauty, We are capable of leading. We just 481 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: know of us who are capable. I wouldn't say all 482 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: of us are capable of leading leading, because all of 483 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: us are not capable of leading, but many of us 484 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: are capable of leading. And that's leadership. All around us. 485 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: It's just that the people that all our leaders are not, 486 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, raising their hands and saying I'm the leader. 487 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: You know that they're not. You know, like you're a leader, 488 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: You're a leader. You know. Mean there's people everybody right 489 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: here I'm calling leading. You know, I know y'all leaders 490 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: because I know I know a little bit about all y'all. 491 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know a little bit about all y'all, 492 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: and everything that I've seen about y'all told me that 493 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: y'all was a leader.

We got the money, 544 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: but we're not doing of this pool and our resources 545 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: and reaching back to graph even more people and teach 546 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: them the game. You know a lot of times people 547 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: say the game and sold. I told no, we gotta 548 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: tell the game, you know, because we said that the 549 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: game is sold not too told to an extent, but 550 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: a lot of this game needs to be told in 551 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: order to bring our people along though, those of us 552 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: who are seeking that knowledge that's first. First for that knowledge, 553 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: we gotta give him the game. We can't afford. We 554 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: don't have the luxury. And not giving them the game 555 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: we out of here. Bro we had war and it's 556 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: all his old book. We don't have the luxury. I'm 557 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: not sharing the knowledge. We don't have the luxury. Are 558 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: tapping that little youngster that might be a little wild 559 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: and everybody is scared of them. We ain't got we 560 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: don't have the luxury, not spent the purements and just 561 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: trying to show them the different things. You don't have 562 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: that luxing, don't. I think the problem is we don't 563 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: talk about like what I'm in right here. We don't 564 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: hear that. We don't hear people talking. They're saying, we 565 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: need to get this back into schools and all it is. 566 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: We need to educate these young kids because there's a 567 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: lot of black men out there that have no clue, 568 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: that only believes in what they see and what they do. 569 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. So, just like you said, 570 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: we got to get out there and relay this message. 571 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: But some of us don't want to hear this message. 572 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: Some of us believe that there's no way that black 573 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: men are black people can come together and and make 574 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: ship happen. We we tell each other down, is what 575 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So we got an other ways to build 576 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: each other up. Our separates thing um pretty much everything. 577 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: Because when when you hear black man greeting another black man, 578 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: what's up with nigga? But then get man when the 579 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: white man said, nigga, But what about how you doing? 580 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: My brother? What's up black man? We need to greet 581 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: each other and to different kind of way because we 582 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: are stuck in something that we have no knowledge of, 583 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: belief and understand it. When these people feeding us the 584 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: other bullshit, you feel me? So what what what I'm 585 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: saying to you is we need to grow. We need 586 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: to understand and educate our minds. You don't have to 587 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: necessarily being a school because the streets marksmitted the past marks, 588 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: and if you can understand the ship that goes on 589 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: in the streets, you can come in a classroom, you 590 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: can go to work and you can spill that that 591 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: knowledge right there, like like we're doing here on this podcast. 592 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So what what black men 593 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: need to do is understand what Scar Pacing really is 594 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: talking about. What norm still have to argue what m 595 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: c a Is saying. You know what I'm saying, our 596 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: life history, the way we've been living as black people. 597 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of black people don't care 598 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: and hes you know what I'm saying about that game 599 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: if everybody, everybody ain't gonna make it. Bill, we got 600 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: to see the thing about one thing about us is 601 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: that we in innately we're loving people. You know, we 602 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: are we are forgiving people, right, Uh just its innately 603 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: and historically we are forgiving people. And this is why 604 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: we always and we are We feel like everything should 605 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: be fair. Right, We're like, this is why we take 606 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: on a lot of people's causes that don't take on 607 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: our corpins. We see something happen to happening to another 608 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,239 Speaker 1: race or another group of people, and that they never 609 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: fought for us, they never stood up for us. But 610 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: we just that's not fair, that's not right. We just 611 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: automatically waving their flag. We're just we're just riding for him. 612 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: That is because we we got this concept that things 613 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: are supposed to be fat. No, look, it ain't about fatness. 614 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: It's about bending another person to your wheels, bending them 615 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: to your weird What is it that you want? What 616 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: is it that you need? They must comply. Ain't no 617 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: other and the ain't no asking. Stop asking people and 618 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: power to share power. They're not going to share it power. 619 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: They didn't act for to share the power. They went 620 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: and took it. So you gotta take power if you want. 621 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: But everybody, everybody is not going to make it. Some 622 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: some black people out they are poking up. They look 623 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 1: black on the outside, but they're hite on the instide. 624 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: And but they can get by a lot of times 625 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: because what we would do. And it's some of them 626 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: that are only social media platforms who are masquerading like 627 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: social warriors. They are here acting like they're really for 628 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: the people, but they really not. And this is how 629 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: you can recognize. This is the easiest way to recognize it. 630 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: If your criticism of the black community outwhere your contribution 631 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: you want. It's a whole lot of them. All they do, 632 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: all they do is touched it about black people. Oh, 633 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: they might throw you off a little bit. This is 634 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: what's confusing, because this is what they'll do to get 635 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: you on that side. They'll be like, they'll say a 636 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: couple of things that's true that everybody agreed to, Like 637 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: all people say, yeah, that's uni universally that's true. For instance, 638 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, black people need to they need to stop 639 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: with the black on black crime. Everybody. Yeah, man, that 640 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: is I got a poem that too. Yeah, that's probably 641 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: that's probably everybody like, yeah, yeah, right, um, yeah, well, 642 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: well you know that there's a lot of you know, 643 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: uh black people that uh that uh, you know, selling 644 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: dope and we gotta stop selling dope while you sell 645 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: dope and get more when over jail.

That is true. 647 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: And then they go so they'll go light. They'll go 648 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: light on a few things that are right at a 649 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: universally right that nobody can dispute. And then they go 650 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: pop heavy on throwing black people under the textbook Candice 651 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: Bns textbook, Step and a skin textbook far all of them. 652 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: They go top heavy on their criticism of the black community. 653 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: They say something that's right, they might say, well not 654 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: at all back, and then they start and after that 655 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: they start generalizing.

It was just something man. 839 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: I I just I love the ship out of it. 840 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: And people that that that that do it, they know 841 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. But everybody thought that I was 842 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: gonna boxer when I wanted to Texas go to Lives Championship. 843 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: Everybody thought, Okay, he's naturally gonna become a boxer, and 844 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: and I was rapping around the same time. But I 845 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: realized that I was really good at rapp and I 846 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: was really good at boxing. The girls like rappers. The 847 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 1: girls like boxes.

Yeah, 1179 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: that's to me. I give you, I give you a 1180 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 1: long story shot from so Brad, My Mind Playing Tricks 1181 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 1: was a scar faced record, and initially Brad brought that 1182 01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 1: song to the table. Brag heard is Brad was in 1183 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 1: the house with his grandmother and his grandmother his grandmother 1184 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 1: had misplaced something and she said, you know, what did 1185 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 1: I do with such such such And I can't finding 1186 01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:20,480 Speaker 1: my mind playing tricks something. So Brad Brad catching light 1187 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 1: bulk come on. So he writes a song, my mind 1188 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 1: playing tricks something. He wrote three verses. If you listen 1189 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: to the song Brad got to he's the only one 1190 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 1: that has two verses verses and Bill have one verse. 1191 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,720 Speaker 1: I got one verse. He gave Bill his third verse, 1192 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:46,360 Speaker 1: and I wrote my verse. So you know, if it 1193 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,920 Speaker 1: was today, we probably just would have just used those 1194 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 1: three verses and said that's cool. But I grew up 1195 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,160 Speaker 1: in an era where you write your own set. If 1196 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: you didn't write your own SIPs, he was a real roup. 1197 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,120 Speaker 1: Write my own ship. I don't want this verse. I 1198 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 1: want my own ship and write my own ship. So 1199 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: that's how that came about. But you know, it was 1200 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 1: brilliant number one for Brad to come up with the 1201 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:11,720 Speaker 1: song first and farmost it's not even it don't happen 1202 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 1: without his you know, without his his genius, it don't happen. 1203 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: And then it was double brilliant, brilliant for Jada say, 1204 01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,599 Speaker 1: I think this is a deal better ghetto boy out 1205 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: better director. You know, this is cool, but I think 1206 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 1: it'd be better if it was a gettle boy. And 1207 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,560 Speaker 1: if you listen to it and you see that you 1208 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:41,479 Speaker 1: hear the different you hear the different personalities each of 1209 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,840 Speaker 1: us take you to a different place. You know you're 1210 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,799 Speaker 1: hearing uh you know the parianalia you mean, uh, mental 1211 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:54,599 Speaker 1: health infused. Uh that that's a there's a certain amount 1212 01:08:54,640 --> 01:09:01,639 Speaker 1: of uh uh this this longerty that you hear that stuff. 1213 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,640 Speaker 1: All of that stuff is laced throughout that song, and 1214 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,639 Speaker 1: you get it and it takes you to different levels. 1215 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:12,640 Speaker 1: So uh, when we did the song, James, I, I 1216 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,120 Speaker 1: just did the song and left it alone. I didn't 1217 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 1: think the song. I had no idea of the song 1218 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 1: would even be close to doing it. I didn't think 1219 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 1: the song was a fucking great song. I thought it 1220 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,680 Speaker 1: was a good song. But I also thought the other 1221 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 1: eleven songs on the album with good songs. Because when 1222 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 1: I make music, when I write a song, I don't 1223 01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,600 Speaker 1: try to write hits. I try to write classes. I 1224 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,880 Speaker 1: just try to write a song that you're never gonna forget. 1225 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 1: So the consumer decides what's gonna be a hit based 1226 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 1: on based on stairs. I got control of what's gonna 1227 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: be a classic by what I put into that song, 1228 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,560 Speaker 1: pour into the song, I decide if it's gonna be 1229 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 1: a classic or now. So that's all I do with 1230 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 1: every single song. I just pour into it. Whether I'm 1231 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 1: talking about you know, riding on what I'm saying, the 1232 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 1: k k k uh, my mind's playing tricks on me. 1233 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,760 Speaker 1: Uh hey, watch having the ball it hold? You know 1234 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,479 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm gonna pull everything into that song 1235 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make it a classic. That's the way 1236 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: I operate, right. So I didn't know the song was 1237 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna do what it did. I just got I did 1238 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 1: the song and left it alone and kept moving forward. 1239 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,120 Speaker 1: And then we we did our when we did I 1240 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,840 Speaker 1: test run, but we when we let people listen to 1241 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: the songs and they decide which ones they like. Everybody 1242 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 1: was like, well, I like the whole album, yeah, but 1243 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 1: you point you like the most. It's hard if you 1244 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 1: had you from the pick and it was a life 1245 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,599 Speaker 1: of that situation, which one of these songs that you picked, 1246 01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:01,640 Speaker 1: and everybody kept going back to my playing trick. And 1247 01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: even then I didn't think it was a great song. 1248 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I was just like, with that's where we're going with that? Cool? 1249 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: Because I I do a song and I don't care 1250 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: how good he is. I started focusing on me. I 1251 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 1: got I don't like really just bask and you know, 1252 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 1: arrest on my lords. So I just kept it moving. 1253 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,720 Speaker 1: And then next thing, you know, man, they said it 1254 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 1: to radio man, and we didn't have to go through 1255 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:32,599 Speaker 1: the whole that regular process of going through the mix 1256 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: and getting added and this is that nothing. It was 1257 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:40,240 Speaker 1: like day one. Picky spans a week on every radio 1258 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 1: station across the nation, and and they played it for 1259 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:47,719 Speaker 1: six months straight that that That song was called a phoner. 1260 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 1: It's what it's called a phone radio. A phoner is 1261 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,599 Speaker 1: a song that make the phone ring a lot the phone. 1262 01:11:55,360 --> 01:12:00,040 Speaker 1: And every song that you if that phone ring, it 1263 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 1: was more than likely people are acquinting to request that song. 1264 01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 1: That's a phone And I'm gonna tell you something that 1265 01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 1: was crazy about that song. And you didn't have a 1266 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 1: hook on it, right, I didn't have a hook. He 1267 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 1: was just there. I mean we didn't. We weren't really, 1268 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,080 Speaker 1: We wasn't really big on hooks back then and our 1269 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,960 Speaker 1: day though, we really weren't. We just just put the 1270 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 1: song out, just put the verse out, talk to the people, 1271 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: and keep it moving. To the next. I'm not trying 1272 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,799 Speaker 1: to think about no hook to keep you happy or whatever. 1273 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,759 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna tell you something to describe 1274 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,839 Speaker 1: what's going on, and we're gonna keep it moving. Yeah. Yeah, feeling. 1275 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 1: It's a feeling with whether you put us hook in 1276 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,080 Speaker 1: the song or not, the words, whether you put because 1277 01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,559 Speaker 1: it has it is a hook. The music is the hook, 1278 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,600 Speaker 1: but it's but it's a it's a feeling, whether you 1279 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 1: put lyrics in that space or not. And so we 1280 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,640 Speaker 1: got a few songs like that, uh one stuff. Man, 1281 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 1: he's just you know, you looked at them.

I feel like, 1309 01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 1: I do believe that that this generation is the first 1310 01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 1: generation of music lovers who are not going to experience 1311 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: the best that that generation has to offer. Now, they're 1312 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 1: gonna have thumbs experiences. You know, there's always gonna be 1313 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,600 Speaker 1: a few artists, but there's always gonna be stun But 1314 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot of artists in this generation don't want to 1315 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: play the game. They got good stuff. They don't want 1316 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: to do moble wrap. They don't want to be mindless stuff. 1317 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:54,880 Speaker 1: They don't want to. They don't want to. They don't 1318 01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 1: want to talk about killing black men. They don't want 1319 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 1: to do that. So they they might make music and 1320 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,559 Speaker 1: they just make music at home, or they're just gonna 1321 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 1: get a job someone and just say fucking you know, 1322 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not doing this, you know. And so 1323 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 1: even even on the R and B side of things, 1324 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, uh, they don't want to make music because 1325 01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:16,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the R and B artists ain't really 1326 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,680 Speaker 1: talking about nothing. They there's no substance. So a lot 1327 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: don't want to play the game. They just don't want 1328 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,240 Speaker 1: to play the game. So I believe that when we 1329 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,240 Speaker 1: came out, if you was dope, when you was just 1330 01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 1: a dope, ask MC, it was gonna be hard if 1331 01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,679 Speaker 1: you cant get on, If you were spoken and returning 1332 01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 1: to get up on, you're gonna be able to get 1333 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:37,920 Speaker 1: in front of somebody and then he was gonna get 1334 01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 1: put on. Now not so much, they're like you'd be like, yes, 1335 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 1: saying something you doke, you're saying some do and they'd 1336 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:51,040 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, man, but ship man, you ain't. You 1337 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: ain't killed with old people in the song man I 1338 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 1: need who he raised you by the count. Yeah, you 1339 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 1: said you ain't sipping. You ain't popping enough pills or 1340 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 1: sipping enough. We do some ship you ain't got on 1341 01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,200 Speaker 1: enough choke chains or some ship. Something's going on. So 1342 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 1: why y'all don't get together the old school and y'all 1343 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:20,000 Speaker 1: push something together and show these cats that you don't 1344 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:23,439 Speaker 1: have to talk about murdering your people on the show 1345 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: and you're good goddamn party and so. But but but 1346 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,400 Speaker 1: that that that's happening all around us. It's just that 1347 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 1: the people like us who talk that ship that's safe, 1348 01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 1: why y'all won't do it? You know, we need to 1349 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,559 Speaker 1: come out and do it. So they like, but we're 1350 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: not buying the records they just talked. They weren't by 1351 01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 1: the records, and they're not going to the concerts. So 1352 01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,639 Speaker 1: it's not even sustainable for the artists to go out 1353 01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: there and spend that money and spend that time. Because 1354 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: the people like us, we talk a lot of ships 1355 01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:00,439 Speaker 1: our generation, we always talking ship, but we don'ta back 1356 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: it up. Our ask is we're gonna we we get 1357 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 1: ready to listen to me. We're gonna going there, put 1358 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,679 Speaker 1: us off from them down. C D. Stick that ship 1359 01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 1: in the car. You're gonna be looking for somewhere to 1360 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 1: play the damn CD. You you gotta you got a 1361 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 1: CD player in your car? You okay, come on, come on, 1362 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 1: come on, you know, because they already think they got 1363 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: the PST music. They don't think any better music can 1364 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 1: ever be made again. So we already got that music, 1365 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,439 Speaker 1: and they're not buying records, they're not buying the screen. Yeah, 1366 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 1: a few people do it, but it's not enough people 1367 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: that's doing it to make it feasible or eating for practical, 1368 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 1: for artists to going there and spend that kind of 1369 01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: time and money and resources. It's it's not there. It's 1370 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 1: too big of a risk, right, It's too big of 1371 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 1: a risk. So that's why a lot of artists just 1372 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 1: gon't do it. For me, I'm at a I'm at 1373 01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:57,560 Speaker 1: a stage in my life where time is everything to me. 1374 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 1: I have to it. I look at everything that I 1375 01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:09,960 Speaker 1: do based on quality. Okay, I got this so much 1376 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,719 Speaker 1: time and a back. I'm gonna spend this much time 1377 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 1: throwing into my businesses. I'm gonna spend this much time sleeping. 1378 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend this much time if I if I 1379 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:23,160 Speaker 1: get a break, I'm gonna shoot over here and gonna 1380 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 1: see my aunt at the conversacing home, or sit on 1381 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 1: the porch with my brothers and drink have a drink 1382 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: or something, or you know, I'm a hang out with 1383 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 1: this this woman, you know, for a moment or whatever, 1384 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 1: and then I'm back at it. It was like if 1385 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,840 Speaker 1: if I'm, if I'm and when it comes it's like 1386 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 1: like doing things that costs me to invest money. In 1387 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like, how is this money gonna come 1388 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,720 Speaker 1: back to me? If I go fit me out there 1389 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,720 Speaker 1: for it to be worth my time, I got the 1390 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,800 Speaker 1: at least double upon it. I gotta leave it for 1391 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 1: they to be worth my time. So I'm I'm not 1392 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:07,639 Speaker 1: doing it like that, like I gotta get it back, 1393 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: Like how I'm gonna get this money back, any money 1394 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,840 Speaker 1: that I put out, any money I put out.

And I'm gonna say this, this is 1411 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,800 Speaker 1: important for people to hear. When I first got on 1412 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,840 Speaker 1: the podcast and the podcast space was ninety of what 1413 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 1: was was twenty uh seventeen, I think seen and no 1414 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:29,160 Speaker 1: other artists who had names like who was branded was 1415 01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,679 Speaker 1: on doing in that space? Right? And when I got 1416 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 1: into that were the detractors, the haters, the ones who 1417 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,240 Speaker 1: don't really want to see you win.

And I was like, I'm for the jumping 1423 01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,519 Speaker 1: this ship right now. So I had to put my 1424 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:01,680 Speaker 1: heart line his own and do it just like this here. 1425 01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,280 Speaker 1: And I'm starting come around at boom boom boom. You know. 1426 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: Uh So I was like building it at that time, 1427 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: and I'm seeing it growing. And then I get to 1428 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,840 Speaker 1: a point where I get it to six figures a month. 1429 01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:25,640 Speaker 1: And now a little bit later, okay, you got the 1430 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:32,160 Speaker 1: pandemic hit. Then all of a sudden, artists, ball playing, 1431 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people that make spotty income started getting 1432 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 1: into that space.
