Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City to only city in America. It's the Daily

Speaker 1: it's the Daily Show with driver Nolan to the Day Show.

Speaker 1: thank you so much to be everybody. This does amazing,
Speaker 1: Tacy takan see, let's getting to it. We have got
Speaker 1: a great show for you tonight. The Democrats are as
Speaker 1: surprised as you are about winning. Donald Trump goes to
Speaker 1: wol with everyone. And if you were hoping to lose
Speaker 1: all your money in crypto, well then I've got some
Speaker 1: good news. Plus hip hop legend and New York's very
Speaker 1: own nas Is. Our guests are life talking about a
Speaker 1: brand new albums talking. Let's through these people. Let's sounds
Speaker 1: straight into today's headlines. All right. Before we get into
Speaker 1: the big stories, let's catch up on a few other
Speaker 1: things going on in the world, starting in the United Kingdom,
Speaker 1: where a protester who threw eggs at King Charles has
Speaker 1: now been banned from carrying eggs in public as a
Speaker 1: condition of his bail. I mean that just really shows
Speaker 1: you how much England has lost its edge. You know,
Speaker 1: in the old days, if you came at the King,
Speaker 1: they would torture you in the Tower of London for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. Now it's like you attacked
Speaker 1: our king. Well, good luck making a omelet now. In
Speaker 1: some news from the world of philanthropy, Jeff Bezos announced
Speaker 1: that you will be giving Dolly Parton one million dollars
Speaker 1: to celebrate her good deeds in the world. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's how rich Jeff Bezos is. Imagine me so rich
Speaker 1: that you think it's charity when you give money to millionaires.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, you poor thing. You don't even have
Speaker 1: a spaceship, do you. Heah, let me break you off some.
Speaker 1: In a major geopolitical news, President Biden met for the
Speaker 1: first time with his Chinese counterpart, Jijing Ping, and after
Speaker 1: the three hour meeting, Biden declared that an invasion of
Speaker 1: Taiwan is not imminent. And I know what probably happened here.
Speaker 1: Jesing Ping went into that meeting planning to stick it
Speaker 1: to Joe, But first Biden told him about that one
Speaker 1: time we had their friend who a negro baseball player.
Speaker 1: He's work of the pool with all the kids and
Speaker 1: he'd rather amer all the way to Scranton. Man, it's
Speaker 1: not Scrand to day man. Scrand different back then, pot boys,
Speaker 1: and my word is a Biden and ice cream marder.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, Jack, And Jesing Ping was like,
Speaker 1: you know what you can have Taiwan to stop to.
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know what any of this is.
Speaker 1: Just let leave you alone, Harv. Let's move on to
Speaker 1: some of the biggest stories of the day, starting with
Speaker 1: the mid terms, that magical term of the year when
Speaker 1: the most exciting thing on TV is Steve CORNACKI doing math. Now,
Speaker 1: votes are still being counted across the country, but a
Speaker 1: few things are clear. One, you can take off your
Speaker 1: I voted stick and now we get it. And two
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats are about to get two more years in
Speaker 1: the driver's seats. Let's begin with Democrats shocking the political
Speaker 1: world by retaining control of the United States Senate thanks
Speaker 1: to a win overnight in Nevada. Democrats now taking a
Speaker 1: victory lap, defying history and expectations, on track to their
Speaker 1: best mid term performance since John F. Kennedy was president.
Speaker 1: This is a very happy day with at least fifty
Speaker 1: seats and Vice President Kamala Harris's tiebreaking vote. Democrats now
Speaker 1: keep control of the upper chamber, regardless of the outcome
Speaker 1: of George's Senate runoff, sleated for December six. Holding the
Speaker 1: Senate gives President Biden and his party control over the
Speaker 1: legislative agenda there and critically judicial confirmations, including the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court if another seat opens up. That's right now that
Speaker 1: Nevada and Arizona have been called, the Democrats have officially
Speaker 1: kept control of the Senate for another two years, which
Speaker 1: is a huge surprise. I mean, when Chuck Schumer heard
Speaker 1: that happened his glasses and that he fell right off
Speaker 1: his face, I mean, at least I'm assuming that's why
Speaker 1: they're down there, right. I Remember, Remember, the reason this
Speaker 1: is so important is because keeping the Senate means that
Speaker 1: Democrats can keep confirming judges, including Supreme Court justices, like
Speaker 1: if any of them retire, or let's say, I don't know,
Speaker 1: gets like a d u I you know, I still
Speaker 1: like my man. But but remember, if Republicans take control
Speaker 1: of the House, then every dream that Democrats have of
Speaker 1: codifying Rov Wade or taxing the rich or turning Pete
Speaker 1: Budajas into a real boy. They can't do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they probably weren't gonna do it anyway, but
Speaker 1: now they have someone to blame, those passing Republicans. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, there's still the Georgia runoff in December between
Speaker 1: Raphael Warnock and herschel Walker, which the Democrats don't need anymore.
Speaker 1: They don't need to win in order to control the Senates,
Speaker 1: but it would give them extra cushion for when Joe
Speaker 1: Mansion tries to cop block them, or Kirsten Cinema goes rogue,
Speaker 1: or Bernie Sanders and misses a vote because he's arguing
Speaker 1: with a grocery store manager. He's just there was a
Speaker 1: shot that apple play up your ass. I want to
Speaker 1: pay with a check. Wait, hold on, I wrote the
Speaker 1: wrong day. You go give him, give me another chance.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to wait until December to see
Speaker 1: what the final count in the Senate is. And really
Speaker 1: that race can go either way. But can we just admit,
Speaker 1: now that the stakes are a little lower, you kind
Speaker 1: of want to see what herschel Walker would be like
Speaker 1: as a senator. I'm not saying they should. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they should and I'm not saying it would be
Speaker 1: good for Georgia or for the country. But but when
Speaker 1: he gets Ms McConnell pregnant with another secret baby, it
Speaker 1: will be all worth it. It'll be all worth it. Ah,
Speaker 1: He's certain, Marrik card and our five hour dollar rare.
Speaker 1: But while the Democrats are celebrating their success in the midterms,
Speaker 1: Republicans are being forced to look ahead and the question
Speaker 1: of who will take on the animated corpse of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden for the presidency. So obviously, obviously all eyes on
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, you know, you know, because he's the person
Speaker 1: who has promised a big announcement from Mara Lago tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and no one knows what the big announcement could be.
Speaker 1: It could could just be that he successfully walked down
Speaker 1: a ramp, or or that he finally memorized all the
Speaker 1: words to the McDonald's Big Mac song. But but everyone
Speaker 1: is expecting that it's going to be his entry into
Speaker 1: the residential race. Yeah. And there are a lot of
Speaker 1: reasons people think that Trump is going to run again,
Speaker 1: all right. They think he wants to avoid an indictment.
Speaker 1: They think he thinks he's already one lost time. It
Speaker 1: could be the fact that he has a Cinemax movie
Speaker 1: in the White House DVR that he wants to finish
Speaker 1: watching Willie Manuel Get Back from Space. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but the biggest hint that he's running again is that
Speaker 1: he spent a lot of time recently making fun of
Speaker 1: other Republicans who might think of running. Alright, do you
Speaker 1: remember he called Rhonda sanctus Rhonda sanctimonious, He mocked Mike
Speaker 1: penceis polling numbers, and then last week he found something
Speaker 1: to say about a new target, Virginia Governor Glenn Junkin.
Speaker 1: On Friday, the former president posted on his social media
Speaker 1: platform Truth Social the Youngcan's last name quote sounds Chinese.
Speaker 1: The post read, in part, young Kin, Now, that's an
Speaker 1: interesting take. Sounds Chinese? Doesn't It couldn't have one without me.
Speaker 1: You know, just when I think Trump has hit peaks strange,
Speaker 1: he finds a way to take it to another level.
Speaker 1: He's like super saying I'm strange because first of all,
Speaker 1: first of all, how are you so racist that you
Speaker 1: can make an anti Asian remark about a white guy?
Speaker 1: I don't even understand that? And secondly, how are you
Speaker 1: so weird that you can surprise yourself in your own text.
Speaker 1: He's the one typing that. He's like, now, that's an
Speaker 1: interesting thing. You wrote, kids are you guys? Seeing what?
Speaker 1: Just happy? You type kids like who are you? How's
Speaker 1: your where you work? But the only the only explanation
Speaker 1: that makes sense in my head is that he typed
Speaker 1: the guy's name in and then it auto corrected to
Speaker 1: young kid. And now Trump is having a conversation with
Speaker 1: his ulto correct like, wow, I never thought of it
Speaker 1: that way. Keyboard, you should be my running mate. So smart,
Speaker 1: so strong, show clever. But this moment here is just
Speaker 1: another one where you realize that the tide is turning
Speaker 1: against Trump ever since the mid terms, because this time
Speaker 1: Republicans are pushing back against him. Yeah, they've come out.
Speaker 1: They're like, this is not cool. Why you're saying this?
Speaker 1: They're fighting him. You realize if this has happened before
Speaker 1: the mid terms, young Kin would have come out like
Speaker 1: why yes, in fact, I am a Chinese man, how y'all?
Speaker 1: And Mr Trump? So let's move on to some financial news.
Speaker 1: After being hailed as the future of money, two has
Speaker 1: been cryptocurrencies worst year yet. The crypto market has lost
Speaker 1: one point three trillion dollars worldwide. Hundreds of cryptocurrencies have
Speaker 1: completely disappeared, and Matt Damon has moved on to selling
Speaker 1: herbal life. And now, just when we thought the crypto
Speaker 1: world couldn't fall any lower, this happened. One popular cryptocurrency
Speaker 1: exchange is on the brink of collapse. This morning. F
Speaker 1: t X filed for bankruptcy Friday, leaving investors scrambling and
Speaker 1: destabilizing the entire industry. The company's thirty year old CEO,
Speaker 1: Sam Bankman Freed, resigned and his sixteen billion dollar fortune erased.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg has called his meteoric fall from grace one of
Speaker 1: history's greatest ever destructions of wealth. At its peak, the
Speaker 1: crypto exchange was worth thirty two billion dollars and benefited
Speaker 1: from superstar endorsements from Tom Brady, Gezell Bunchen, Naomi Osaka,
Speaker 1: and Steph Curry. The NBA's Miami Heat had its venue
Speaker 1: renamed as f t X Arena just last year, but
Speaker 1: now that name's coming off the building. The downfall of
Speaker 1: ft X began earlier this month, when reports raised serious
Speaker 1: questions about its financial health. Those questions triggered a bank
Speaker 1: run on the exchange as too many customers tried to
Speaker 1: withdraw their assets. By Thursday, bankman Freed was apologizing on Twitter,
Speaker 1: saying quote, I'm sorry. I should have done better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest cryptocurrency ex rangers has filed for bankruptcy,
Speaker 1: going from being worth thirty billion dollars to being eight
Speaker 1: billion in the hole. And do you know how hard
Speaker 1: it is to lose that much money overnight without buying Twitter?
Speaker 1: This wasn't easy. And look, I will say I am
Speaker 1: glad that he apologized, but a tweet saying I stop
Speaker 1: it doesn't capture the enormity of what you've done. You know,
Speaker 1: I've stop? Is the wrong addressed up? Is like the
Speaker 1: wrong uber or something at the very at the very least,
Speaker 1: you've got to add like ten more US because you've uh.
Speaker 1: And this, this crypto collapse is sending shock waves everywhere everywhere,
Speaker 1: from people losing billions of dollars to the Miami Heat
Speaker 1: being forced to change the name of the arena. Right
Speaker 1: now that FTX is broke. You saw that, And and
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I feel like the one
Speaker 1: is on the heat. If you're gonna let a company
Speaker 1: by the naming rights to arena. At least make sure
Speaker 1: it's an established company. Don't commit to some crypto startup
Speaker 1: that's been around for two years. It's like going on
Speaker 1: a first date and then when the person goes to
Speaker 1: the bathroom, you gotta lower back tattoo of their name.
Speaker 1: You know. He's like, yeah, there's no way this get backfire.
Speaker 1: Yeah wait, it's Channis that it was Jenny, And you
Speaker 1: have to admit. You have to admit it is crazy
Speaker 1: that a crypto collapse can take so much real money
Speaker 1: with it. Think about it. It's fake money, but people
Speaker 1: lost real savings. It's like finding out someone's imaginary friend
Speaker 1: died by driving your car off a cliff. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: your friend wasn't real. They were real to me. And personally,
Speaker 1: I hope Tom Brady didn't invest too much of his
Speaker 1: money in this company, because otherwise he'll never be able
Speaker 1: to retire. He's gonna be like ninety years old in
Speaker 1: a huddle, just like you're gonna run a post out
Speaker 1: laughter and you blocked the blatch and and did I
Speaker 1: have a jack by that time? Matter fraid it was
Speaker 1: a negro big ball player. You should hear the pool
Speaker 1: with the kids and I'm tracking this curving up my
Speaker 1: way to jump and come on, Jack, come on, let's
Speaker 1: do it. All right, that's what the headlines recording go
Speaker 1: to crick really quick break, let's checking on the stock market.
Speaker 1: Finance expert Michael Cost to everybody, Michael, absolute insanity. What
Speaker 1: is happening in the market today, Trevor, I am crushing it.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm crushing It's so hard that I too
Speaker 1: should be banned from carrying eggs because I would crush them. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got a hot tip for you to some pay attention.
Speaker 1: I got a hot tip for you. Okay, But obviously, Trevor,
Speaker 1: today it's all about cry crypto and f t X,
Speaker 1: which collapsed last week. Now this is really important. Okay.
Speaker 1: People are losing their third houses because of this. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously I didn't invest in f t X. I didn't
Speaker 1: like that Tom Brady was promoting it. I am a
Speaker 1: very simple investing rule. Don't take financial advice from people
Speaker 1: who get hit in the head all day. Okay. That's
Speaker 1: why the only athletes I listened to our swimmers. Okay,
Speaker 1: they don't get hit in the head. Now this is important.
Speaker 1: Wait until they're out of the pool to hear what
Speaker 1: they have to say. Otherwise you put all your money
Speaker 1: into rule. Pay attention to this right here, this fifty
Speaker 1: two week low. One point two. That's low. Okay. Now
Speaker 1: I'm an expert. I don't expect you to understand numbers,
Speaker 1: but let me explain it to Okay, zero is the bottom.
Speaker 1: You can't get lower than zero unless there's a windshield.
Speaker 1: So look, I know this this looks like the price
Speaker 1: of FTX token. But what this chart actually represents is
Speaker 1: the age of people who trust crypto. Okay, in November,
Speaker 1: It's like maybe at one point it reached thirty years old,
Speaker 1: but now the only group that trusts crypto two and
Speaker 1: a half year old. Trevor. Okay, yeah, two and a
Speaker 1: half year old believe in crypto because they'll believe in anything.
Speaker 1: You know. They believe in Santa Claus, they believe in
Speaker 1: the tooth thing, they believe I actually got your nose, Trevor.
Speaker 1: This one kid bade me twenty bucks to give it
Speaker 1: back to him. I'm crushing it. I am crushing it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now it's gotten so bad. If you ask a four
Speaker 1: year old about crypto, they'll be like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. I'm not an idiot. Now, will you take
Speaker 1: me to the potty so I can make a doo doo?
Speaker 1: All right, Trevor, Why why did this happen? Okay? The
Speaker 1: founder one man, three names, Sam Bankman Freed. Alright, Look,
Speaker 1: the writing is on the wall, everybody. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: specifically this wall bank Man Fried. If that's not a warning,
Speaker 1: yeah you say, I'm an expert. If that's not a wording,
Speaker 1: I don't know what is. Would you eat in a
Speaker 1: restaurant where the chef was named Brian undercooked chicken? Okay?
Speaker 1: You know he did try to save his company by
Speaker 1: going to his chief rival for a bailout. That's gotta
Speaker 1: be tough, right. That's like asking your wife's tennis coach
Speaker 1: for sex tips, you know, which reminds me, Jake, you
Speaker 1: gotta call me back, dude, I mean okay. Lastly, this
Speaker 1: is yet another reminder that we shouldn't automatically assume that nerdy,
Speaker 1: quirky looking people are geniuses. Right the same way, you
Speaker 1: gotta be careful with these handsome guys on TV and
Speaker 1: their suits giving you these financial tips, and just because
Speaker 1: they're standing in front of a stock chart, people will
Speaker 1: trust them with their life savings. It's it's disgusting. Okay.
Speaker 1: By the way, I got a hot tip for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're still in on crypto, I got your nose.
Speaker 1: And if you want to back, you gotta give me
Speaker 1: some money. Come on, come get it, come yet, Michael
Speaker 1: cost everybody, thank you so much for those I think
Speaker 1: that tips all right? When we come back, what would
Speaker 1: Junior is gonna visit what Conda? So don't go away.

Speaker 1: to pay eight dollars a month to not be verified.
Speaker 1: Well hope that cleared things up. Thanks for using Twitter. Everyone.
Speaker 1: Welcome bout going all this week out we'll the premiere
Speaker 1: of the new Black Panther movie, Wakanda Forever. But did
Speaker 1: you know that to Charlotte is not the black superhero?
Speaker 1: Well for more, we turned to Roywood Jr. In another
Speaker 1: episode of CPE Times. Welcome to CEP Time, the only
Speaker 1: show that's fuller culture. Today we'll be discussing black superheroes,
Speaker 1: iconic characters like Falcon war Machine Cyborg and the dude
Speaker 1: the Churches Chicken who puts onion rings in your bag
Speaker 1: of fries. That brother uses his powers for good. Black
Speaker 1: superheroes are not new. In fact, they've been squeezing into
Speaker 1: spandex for decades. They didn't as far back as nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty six, when cartoonist J Jackson created Speed Jackson in
Speaker 1: the Chicago Defended newspaper. Speed Jackson was a former track
Speaker 1: star at Howard University who was an excellent fistfighter, which
Speaker 1: may not sound powerful compared to today's superher heroes with
Speaker 1: their laser eyes and sticky spider hands, but you have
Speaker 1: to think about it. Like sports, today's best athletes are
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of human physicality, while the best athletes from
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties were just the ones with the least
Speaker 1: polio times change, Jackson used his abilities to fight against
Speaker 1: fascists during the war and right the wrongs of a
Speaker 1: racist society, which is tough because superpowers don't help when
Speaker 1: you're fighting systemic racism. It doesn't matter if you have
Speaker 1: the strength of ten men if none of those men
Speaker 1: can get a mortgage. In seven, Black superheroes made the
Speaker 1: leak from comic script to comic book with lion Man,
Speaker 1: a cat themed superhero who protected the world's largest uranium
Speaker 1: deposit in Africa's Gold Coast. Although a cat may not
Speaker 1: have been the best animal to defend the valuable resource.
Speaker 1: Sure cats are fast and agile, but you're getting there
Speaker 1: doing one of those twenty two hours that they're asleep,
Speaker 1: and that uranium is yours. Lion Man was created by
Speaker 1: Oran Evans, who intended his comic to counter the racial
Speaker 1: distortion seen in other comics, although if he was trying
Speaker 1: to avoid racial stereotypes, I think it's fair to say
Speaker 1: the results were mixed. Look at lion Man right there,
Speaker 1: shirtless with the loincloth and an arrow through his butt,
Speaker 1: and somehow that is still the least problematic character on
Speaker 1: the cover. Despite how it looks today, line Man was
Speaker 1: still groundbreaking as an all black, ridden and illustrated comic,
Speaker 1: even if now the cover looks like Tucker Carson tried
Speaker 1: to draw Africa. In the nineteen seventies, there was an
Speaker 1: explosion of black superheroes, characters like Black Lightning, Black Vulcan,
Speaker 1: and Black Goliath. Basically, if you were trying to create
Speaker 1: an African American hero, in the seventies, you put the
Speaker 1: word black in front of whatever was lying around you
Speaker 1: in the apartment. This week, Black Schendelier battles it out
Speaker 1: against his arch nemesis, Black Candy Rapper. But the most
Speaker 1: popular of these superheroes was the newest member of the
Speaker 1: X Men, Storm, an African priestess who could control the
Speaker 1: weather to keep the rain from messing up her hair.
Speaker 1: Storm was a landmark character for both black and female
Speaker 1: representation in comics, and on top of that, she's definitely
Speaker 1: the best X Man. You know him right, Who's better
Speaker 1: than Storm Rogue? What's her power? If I hold my
Speaker 1: boyfriend's hand too long, he'll die. Wolverine is indeed strong,
Speaker 1: except for when he has to go through t s.
Speaker 1: A professor X can read minds, but that means he
Speaker 1: also sees all the kinkis sex stuff. His enemies are thinking,
Speaker 1: good luck defeating mcneto when you know how much he
Speaker 1: loves feet. But the nineteen nineties, black superheroes were making
Speaker 1: it to the big screen. Robert Townsend directed The Media Man,
Speaker 1: a film about a mild menute teacher who was hit
Speaker 1: by a radioactive media and got superpowers. And I must
Speaker 1: say it's bold to name yourself after the worst thing
Speaker 1: that's ever happened to you. My superhero name would be
Speaker 1: Sheila left him man with the power to eat one
Speaker 1: whole can of tuna over the sink. You were right, Sheila,
Speaker 1: I didn't do better. Marvel bet on Black with the
Speaker 1: Blade franchise. Wesley Snipes starred as a vampire hunter to
Speaker 1: great box office success, and Blade was a powerful Mama Gemma.
Speaker 1: He managed to be that cool while wearing the same
Speaker 1: sunglasses as Guy Fieri. That's also why there's no vampires
Speaker 1: in Flavortown. Blade became a household name and the first
Speaker 1: major theatrical success for Marvel, setting off a wave of
Speaker 1: Marvel films to come in the next two decades. Because
Speaker 1: Wesley Snipes proved that no one's powerful enough to defeat
Speaker 1: Marvel heroes except for the I R s. Please don't
Speaker 1: punch me, Westley Snipes big fan. Now black super heroes everywhere,
Speaker 1: even taking over the mantle of formerly white heroes. We
Speaker 1: have an African American Green Lantern, Iron Man, Captain America,
Speaker 1: and Spider Man. No Black Bruce Wayne, though that requires
Speaker 1: too much generational wealth. Well that's it for CP time.
Speaker 1: And remember before the what's that it's the CP signal.
Speaker 1: Someone needs to folks in man to come and tell
Speaker 1: him about black history. I'm on my way Florida to
Speaker 1: the see people. Bill. I need some gas money for
Speaker 1: the cpeople. Bill, let's take letter. I can't afford. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much about Royal Rox State too, because when
Speaker 1: we come back, the legendary NAS will be joining me
Speaker 1: right here on the show. Welcome back to the day show.
Speaker 1: My guest tonight was a Grammy Award winning rap legend.
Speaker 1: If you had to talk about his new album King's
Speaker 1: Disease three, which is out now, please welcome the one
Speaker 1: and only Nas. Welcome back to the show. Yeah man,
Speaker 1: welcome back. Congratulations on a new album. You know, I
Speaker 1: was I was thinking about this today when when we
Speaker 1: were talking about you coming on. I was like, you
Speaker 1: are a living hip hop legend, um m m. And
Speaker 1: I think the significance of that for me lies in
Speaker 1: in the meaning both ways. One, you are still in
Speaker 1: the game, you're still doing it, you're still contributing, you're
Speaker 1: still making great music. But also you are a living
Speaker 1: hip hop legend. We take for grants and how many
Speaker 1: legends we've lost in hip hop we take for grants.
Speaker 1: How many people onto around who are part of that?
Speaker 1: Do you ever wake up in the morning and thinks yourself, damn,
Speaker 1: so many of the people I started within this game
Speaker 1: on't here anymore, and I'm still here getting to be
Speaker 1: a part of it all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1: Somebody friend of mine today called me and told me,
Speaker 1: he said, you you realize how long and you've been
Speaker 1: around and how much you you survived the things you've
Speaker 1: been through. You know, we just lost a hip hop
Speaker 1: art hip hop artists, uh the other week man take
Speaker 1: off and you know, may you rest in peace. And
Speaker 1: you know, I lost so many friends even before I
Speaker 1: got into music. I didn't think I would get into
Speaker 1: music and then still see it going on. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you've done that. You've done more than just survive it.
Speaker 1: You've succeeded in it. You've thrived in it. And I
Speaker 1: think what I love about this album is how it
Speaker 1: feels like you almost reminiscing whilst also writing a piece
Speaker 1: of the future. You know, you've you've always been childs
Speaker 1: to everyone will say, one of the greatest lyricists that's
Speaker 1: ever lived. But the stories that you tell, you know,
Speaker 1: the way you weave. I mean, for instance, everyone was
Speaker 1: in hip hop was familiar with like your beef with
Speaker 1: jay Z right what it was? And then I loved
Speaker 1: having here you you talk about that beef, what it was,
Speaker 1: how it disappeared, but how You'll still text him saying,
Speaker 1: you know this isn't over well. When I released the
Speaker 1: track list for the album the other day, he released
Speaker 1: a picture with all his Grammys. Yeah, shout out to
Speaker 1: him and a shout out to hit Boy, who produced
Speaker 1: this album, the entire album. He produced the other two
Speaker 1: albums and also the album Magic We We slipped in
Speaker 1: four albums in two years. And the reason Yeah, says
Speaker 1: mean things and and the reason I think it happened
Speaker 1: is because we started the first one when the pandemic hit.
Speaker 1: So at first I was scared to come outside, and
Speaker 1: then he hit Boy was in the studio like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: it's like a month. You know, you didn't leave your house,
Speaker 1: and he got me to come outside and had nothing
Speaker 1: else to do. We finished the first one really quick,
Speaker 1: and we said, you know, we should do this again,
Speaker 1: and here we are with the third one on my label,
Speaker 1: Massive Hill. I would love to know, Yeah, I'd love
Speaker 1: to know that when you look at hip hop as
Speaker 1: a whole, you know you you you were there when
Speaker 1: it was only seen as gangster rap. You were there
Speaker 1: when it was completely ostracized from society. Now it's at
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Now it is, you know, at a
Speaker 1: hockey game. I remember that's when I was like, Wow, okay,
Speaker 1: hip hop has done you know, not for real. I'd
Speaker 1: love to know, you know, where you would like to
Speaker 1: see the game progressing to now that it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's not in the exact same place it was before.
Speaker 1: I think it evolved and I think people can realize
Speaker 1: that you don't have to be scared of it. It's
Speaker 1: it's we learned from my mistakes and then um, we
Speaker 1: can grow with it. We don't have to stay doing
Speaker 1: one thing. The ones who stay doing one thing, unfortunately
Speaker 1: they fall off. Um, And we have to understand that
Speaker 1: like hip hop is now, it's going on fifty years,
Speaker 1: and we've been behind this whole. Fifty years will be
Speaker 1: next year. Hip hop has been alive. So we've been
Speaker 1: behind trying to curate this museum that's coming up in
Speaker 1: the Bronx right now, and and and and the mayor
Speaker 1: has even gotten involved that's Mayor Adams and you know,
Speaker 1: and I noticed, yeah, I noticed one thing that the culture.
Speaker 1: It's like artists don't think they can go past one
Speaker 1: way or we have to be all in one like
Speaker 1: area trying to fight for crumbs. And it's like hip
Speaker 1: hop's a multi sound genre. So it's like in rock,
Speaker 1: you don't have you don't compare kiss to the Rolling Stones,
Speaker 1: you know, but in hip hop, for some reason, we're
Speaker 1: fighting it for the same thing. And you know, uh,
Speaker 1: you feel like you have to be the number one
Speaker 1: guy all the time. So hip hop is multi sound genre.
Speaker 1: You can have multiple things going on at once, doesn't
Speaker 1: matter how if you're twenty years old or forty years
Speaker 1: old or whatever. It's a beautiful culture and I love
Speaker 1: all of it. So I think that we should all
Speaker 1: as writers, get out of your comfort zone and spread
Speaker 1: your wings. And yeah, I really like that. Before I
Speaker 1: let you go, I want to I want to talk
Speaker 1: about that idea of being more. You know, we know
Speaker 1: you for the music, We know you for being in
Speaker 1: the restaurant business and doing extremely well being successful with that.
Speaker 1: We also know you, you know, getting it's for normal
Speaker 1: people love it and you know, I remember eating and
Speaker 1: someone was like, you know, Nas owns this chicken. I
Speaker 1: was like this chicken that I'm holding right now. It
Speaker 1: was it was a weird way that someone said it
Speaker 1: to me. But but but you you're also getting involved
Speaker 1: in a different type of storytelling, which is which is
Speaker 1: in film? You know, I know that you you directed
Speaker 1: a documentary you know that talks about you know, the
Speaker 1: supreme world of like it was this underworld in Queens.

Speaker 1: Team was one about it. Underworld, Um organization and Queen's
Speaker 1: long Ago were here about the Gotties and all of
Speaker 1: those John Gotti's and stuff. But we ever really hear
Speaker 1: about this. So I like to uncover things, the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, ugly in in America. And his story was
Speaker 1: some innocent people and some people are guilty, some are
Speaker 1: innocent probably, but um the new one, The Invaders that
Speaker 1: just came out, you can catch it on Apple, Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime is about this organization of musicians, intellectuals, Vietnam vets
Speaker 1: who got together who were trying to uh strike against
Speaker 1: a garbage truck company where someone was killed in his
Speaker 1: in his faulty truck and there was no pensions of money.
Speaker 1: Was bad And Martin Luther King came down there and
Speaker 1: uh he stood with the Memphis people, the people that
Speaker 1: were striking, and he found out who the invaders were
Speaker 1: and they wanted to protect the march because the first
Speaker 1: March from bad. Of course we know that end, how
Speaker 1: Martin Lucy King, Um, uh, you know what happens. But
Speaker 1: there's another look into that story through the eyes of
Speaker 1: the invaders and that most of them are still alive.
Speaker 1: And it's really good picture and in nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: and um, it's amazing. So there's so many stories to
