Family's your girl, TONI ka. 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.559 D Mallory and it shit boy my son in general. 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.559 And we are your hosts of street politicians, the place 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:17.079 where the streets and politics mean. That's how you doing today. 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:19.959 I am blessed how they favored on this good old, 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:20.759 good old day. 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.239 As we continue to do this work in Louisville, Kentucky. 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:30.680 Yep, in Louisville, Kentucky, we move around so much, so much. Yeah, 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.760 there's lots of work to be done today. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.800 Yes, there's way too much work to be done. Man, 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:42.280 both for Brianna Kentucky. We need you to show up Louisville, everybody, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.920 and we need you to show up in vote for 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:50.520 Brianna man cuz the damn man, the scam scammering cannot. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:51.919 Be the governor scammer. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.200 So when asked me at an event, like how does 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.120 it feel to have your biggest opposition in Kentucky coming 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.560 from a black man? 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.160 I was like, you know, when I think of the 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:03.240 word like, when I think. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.840 Of the term black man, it's so it's such a 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.480 term of endearment for me when I think of or 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.560 say a black man that I don't even I can't 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.959 call him a black man. I call him a man 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.160 in black skin, but I don't know about him being 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.560 a black man, because a black man is supposed to 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.880 protect black women. So, you know, I think it's very 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.880 very simple what we're doing and why it needs to 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:29.360 be done. 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.960 You know, what Daniel Cameron did. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.760 To Brionna Taylor's family is obviously terrible, and so that 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.399 in and of itself is enough, I think for people 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.880 to really show up and do the right thing. But 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.720 even beyond that, it is his intention for the people 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.559 of Kentucky. So if you decide that you don't really 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.600 care about Brionna Taylor, which is horrific, But if that's 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.600 how you feel, you should at least be able to 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:04.640 process what his plan means for everyday people who are 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.000 living in the state of Kentucky, especially if you are 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.480 parents of young people, if you're an elder, if you're 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.600 someone who wants to be able to report police abuse, 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.640 and you want someone that respects you and that respects 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.919 your rights to be not just the governor, but also 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.280 the people in the Civilian Complaint Review Board that will 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:33.080 actually look at those facts and a independent decision about 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.160 what should happen in those cases. If you want to 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.240 ensure that, yes, we keep our community safe, but that 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.920 safety and justice is applied across the board, and that 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:51.400 we're not just focused on arresting and charging drug dealers, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.120 if you will, or people who live in communities of color, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:01.120 but actually we're willing to go after and deal with 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:07.760 those people who are the big predators on our communities, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.400 from big pharma to how drugs actually are making it 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:16.840 into states and cities and into people's homes on this 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.120 massive level. I mean, there is so much to think about, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.800 and when you look at his plan, you know that 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:28.160 his plan has absolutely nothing to do with serving the people. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.720 I just feel like it's just a no, Like it 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.679 should be common sense for everybody. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.320 That is just a no that he cannot be governor 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.800 of the state. You know. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:44.320 So hopefully folks are seriously out here getting registered. As 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:49.000 we've been out we've been meeting entire families that are like, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.080 oh yeah, let me go wake up my kids because 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.880 I've been waiting for somebody to come by here. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.400 I didn't know exactly what to do. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.720 You know, people are have been doing the work, and 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.840 now now the registration deadline has passed or at least 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.240 by the time folks actually see this show or listen 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.400 to this show, the deadline has passed, and so all 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.200 our efforts are going to GOTV which means get out 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.480 the vote. That means you're already registered and you need 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.920 to get to the polls. And the other thing is 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.520 that people need to be in any state you live. 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.599 And if you're listening to this, check your registration early. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.520 Go check your registration from now, just to know your status, 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.960 because people are purged from the roles if they don't 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.280 vote a number of times. If they feel like you're 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.560 kind of like, haven't been regis I mean, haven't been 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:45.360 showing up. If some information is wrong or they perceive 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.400 it to be wrong, they start purging people. Some of 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.800 it is voted suppression. Others are just ways of maintaining 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.440 the list. So there's a lot of work that each 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.640 one of us should be doing. But when we are 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.880 in moments like this, this is why you have to 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.800 be registered while you have to make sure your paperwork 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.120 is in order. Because when we're in moments like this, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.000 when I believe that everybody, even the folks who are 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.360 like I don't believe in voting, most of them understand 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.440 the importance of showing up to stop Daniel Cameron from 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:14.240 becoming governor. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.960 So that's the deal. 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.760 That's pretty much it. Man, Daniel Scammeron cannot be the governor. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.799 Man, Get out the vote, GOOTV, Get out the vote. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.520 I've been actually watching a debate happening. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.000 Well I don't know if it's a debate but a 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.600 conversation that's been going on on your page. And I 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.440 saw while old folks about it today and others have 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.640 begun to talk about it, you know, since last week, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:48.280 and I you know, and I don't always understand the details, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.240 but I know when reading what you've been saying about 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.200 art and talent and lyrics and all of that, it's 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.520 certainly struck a nerve with me because I feel like 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.640 we have just's gone to a place where I don't 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.560 know what's going on in them. Like with music, especially 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.440 hip hop music, I'm like, okay. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.360 Same songs or stuff. I can't even I can't even 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.200 really like sing it. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.040 Because because it's just like I don't know. So there 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.920 was stuff happening. I think the numbers are down or 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:19.640 something like that. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.599 Well, hip hop legend Juicy J had put out a 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.479 video clip and he was talking about hip hop sales 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:32.680 being down forty percent this year, and you know, there's 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.320 been a lot of talk about how there hasn't been 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.559 any hip hop album or record anything that reached number 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.400 one this year, and it just hip hop was pretty 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.680 much nonexistent on the Billboard charts and on the charts 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.000 of music that people love. There's no song or record 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.360 that had reached number one, and you know, so it 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.240 sparked the conversation then based on that, you know, it 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.920 kind of stemmed from this whole debate with Joe Butten 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.560 and Drake. You know, Joe Buddens shout out to Joe Bunns, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.360 He's my guy. But Joe is very critical. He can 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.400 be an asshole sometimes and he gives his opinion and 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.720 he's unhinged and he you know, if he likes something, 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.520 he's going to give the same energy that if he. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.360 Don't like something. He's honest about what he likes and 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:19.360 what he doesn't like. You know. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.840 Unfortunately, that's who he is. You know, Fortunately it is 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.680 who he is because at least you know where you 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.320 stand with Joe. But this time he talked about Drake's album, 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.320 and you know, and he talked about how he just 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.160 didn't think that, you know. The main premise was that 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.400 Drake was trying to capitulate to the youth, you know, 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.520 he was trying to make songs that didn't fit where 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.840 he should be, where he believed he should be musically 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.400 as an adult, you know, as a thirty seven year 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.720 old man. He didn't feel that his music reflected somebody 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.160 that was thirty seven, you know. And he said, as 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.760 a Drake fan, I want to hear where Drake is 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.120 at thirty seven, and it seems like you're trying to 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.480 appeal to a younger demographic and you're doing songs with 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.160 people who you know, I don't really see the correlation 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.720 or how it even matches, you know. And and him 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.440 to him, you know, Old Roy said the album wasn't terrible. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.320 It was actually it was a good album, but it's 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.320 just like, I don't really want to hear this from me, 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.280 you know. And that's that started a conversation in which 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:25.600 Drake responded back, and he called Joe Button's a fail rapper, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:30.160 and he started breaking down different things, and that kind 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.760 of struck a nerve with me, you know, because I've 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.640 gone through that with Bozo academics when we were going 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.319 through hour back and forth, and that was the main thing. 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.480 He kept trying to say that I was a fail rapper, 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.360 and I just you know, and that made me respond 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.720 to that, and I said, what makes somebody a fail rapper? 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.439 Like? Who? What is the definition? Who defines what someone 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.160 else's success is? You know? And me knowing. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.839 Joe for years and knowing Joe is probably one of 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.000 the dopest rappers, like Ball for Ball, he's like actually 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.000 a dope rapper, you know, And a lot of times 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.360 within the music business, people get tired of the bullshit 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.480 in the music business. You don't want to make the 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.520 bullshit songs they want you to make. You want to 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.559 make songs that feel good, and they don't want to 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.720 push those songs. They don't get behind those songs. They 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.400 don't put the building behind songs that actually mean something 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.920 unless you're actually the biggest artist, and then they can't 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.720 really stop you, you know, and even then, you know, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.480 they try to make it seem like nobody wants to 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.560 hear that type of music, you know, when we know 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.880 that our fans want to hear it. So you know, 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:34.199 it prompted me to write something about what a fail 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.920 rapper is. And then it prompted me to start paying 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.120 attention to a lot of rappers that actually adope. So 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.680 I started posting young rappers that are actually are lyrical, 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.240 because the notion is that the young kids are not 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.400 into lyrics and they don't care about bars and they 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.520 don't want to do that. They just want a beat 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.720 in a hook and some you know, sing a long bullshit. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.199 And I was like, nah, I don't think that a 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.320 lot of these young artists that actually spit and they 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.240 dope and they they take pride in they art. So 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.080 when this Juicy Jay article came up, it pretty much 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.080 fed into the narrative. I was trying to say, like 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.680 the music that y'all think people want to hear, they don't, 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.880 you know. When we was the music that I'm telling 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.920 you has last. It got us here. It's last for 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.040 the last fifty years. We win fifty years of hip 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.360 hop and substance music with substance and artists who actually 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.520 created bars and said things that people actually could relate to, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.160 that you know, that that challenged them, that made them 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.920 feel like, wow, this this artist is skilled. Right if 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.760 you do if you're an artist, why would I pay 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.400 for an album from you when you're doing the same 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:40.120 shit I could do. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.079 Right. You know why we go see the. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:47.319 NBA because because because Lebron James can jump higher than me, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.839 because I know he Kybriy Irving got one of the 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.520 best things I've ever seen. I want to see somebody 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.800 that could do something I can't that I'm amazed by, 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.560 because you have a skill level or the talent that 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.960 makes people say, wow, this level of excellence is something 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:07.160 I want to see something I'm I'm intrigued by something. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.000 I even even if you were an athlete and you 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.240 know what it takes to play at that level, you watch. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.160 And you're like, wow, you know you you you're. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.280 Able to identify with that. That's what people That's what 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.680 fans want. They want you perform at a high level. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.440 They want to hear music that's at a high level, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.559 that that challenges them, that makes them like, damn, how 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.080 did he even write? I remember I used to listen 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.760 to NAS's albums and just turn it, turn it off 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.600 and be like, Yo, this I've never heard no shit 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.719 like I remember. I used to sit there and be like, Yo, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.400 this man. He painted a picture. He was lyrical, it 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.160 was just like this. She was like perfect music, and 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.120 it was like, damn, I don't think I could do that, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.720 but I want to try, right, and you want to 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.640 inspire to be that dope. And it made me want 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.760 to be able to say, y'all want nas to hear 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.839 this song and be like, yo, you dope. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:54.760 You know what I'm saying. So that's that's what a 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:55.560 lot of us did it for. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.000 So when this whole fail rapping on shit, that's what 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.920 you know what kind of triggered me in that reg 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.360 some When Juicy J said what he said, you know, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:04.320 it made. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:09.920 Me It's like it's solidified exactly. And I saw that 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.240 you were posting like a bunch of rappers who are 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.040 like and I also, I would like to log my complaint, 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.200 which is that not one of them was one. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.160 People know, but that's and I understand that, and that's 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:22.480 what I. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.760 There's a lot of women because Nylon is dope. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.000 Are listen what I'm saying. I'm not. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:30.040 I did. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.040 I'm just giving me a chance right now. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.560 Lady came one, Lady Lendon came on my page and 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.200 she was like, this list is dope, but it's missing people. 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.319 So I'm now I'm creating my list with the whole 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.920 plane ride. I was trying to I couldn't get download 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.120 none of the clips from the artists I like the 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.720 female artists that I like. So I'm creating the female 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.320 artist's list right now that I think it's dope, you know, 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:55.719 and I'm putting that out there. 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.160 But here's the thing. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.360 As we we have platforms, we both understand it. You 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.160 should have said that in your post, like I'm women 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:06.520 are coming soon next? 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.200 Why should I have to do that when because you didn't. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:10.839 Because you didn't, you shouldn't. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.280 Let me tell you something about what I learned from 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:19.880 my black preacher, best friend, pastor doctor Richardson. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.920 He don't put nothing out period unless a woman is 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.360 on it. Period. He just don't do it. It is 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:28.040 his way. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.880 He don't let He does not allow all men to 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.400 sit in his pulpit unless it's an all male event, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.000 of course, you know, with which our church has many 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:43.120 male convocations, black male events, whereas all men and it's 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.080 about male development and male fellowship and whatever. So not 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.920 saying we as women don't disrespect it and try to 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.000 be up in it, but in terms of just a. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.320 General day like a general church day. 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.720 He ensures that there is a woman on every flyer, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.280 a woman in every invitation, a woman that's on every program, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.880 because the Black church has been so exclusive of like excluding, 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.720 and has excluded Black women so much that you have 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.439 to be very intentional. And that's why I was mentioning 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.840 to you that what I thought Snoops set of course 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:24.360 was incredible at Yankee Stadium for the fiftieth Anniversary of 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.320 Hip Hop, and then he played a video at the 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.560 end of artists that We've lost and it was all 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.640 men and there have been women right that have been 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.920 killed or died or whatever also, And I also thought 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.360 that he because it wasn't just artists, he had other 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.680 types of entertainment people and just people in general in 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.600 that clip, And I felt like it should have also. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.080 It would have been amazing if it would have ended 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.160 with some of the stories of the Breonna Taylors and 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.520 George Floyd's and the Maud Armist, because our story is 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.960 so inclusive. So I just think that the women should 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.640 been upfront, and if they weren't gonna be upfront, you 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.840 should have known that we were gonna feel a. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.360 Way about it. It has been two days. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.480 You know, it's been one day because I put it 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:10.080 up yesterday. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.280 I put it up yesterday, and today I planned on 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.600 going back, and I've been putting all the clips, and 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.360 I've been finding my favorite artists, and then I'm trying 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.080 to find like at least two clips that I can 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.880 put up with different young females that I think are 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.400 just amazing rappers, like Lyrically. You know I got you know, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.120 I got my tops. You know I got rapped, lady. 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:32.520 You know what I'm saying.

I want hip hop to 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.160 get back to love and the creativity. You know, I 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.160 used to love to hear certain people albums. Now it's 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:49.640 like they're just throwing shit together. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.640 Man, Well, we're in the fence and all stage. But 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.640 we must, we must, we must move on to our 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:56.520 next topic. 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.320 Sir. I know this you could talk about a day night. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:05.200 Okay, I'm the sam hip hop. Please get back to creating. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.600 Get back to sitting down and creating a project you 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.360 love that you listen to over and over that you 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.760 go back to the studio and you fix this and 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.880 you fix that, and you want it to just sound 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.040 like one cohesive project that somebody's gonna listen to, like 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.040 it's a movie and be like, damn, this is my 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.240 favorite movie ever. 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.880 Like that's what albums used to be. Like, Man, let's 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.480 get back to that. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.240 Speaking of hip hop, moving along but not really, sexy 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.960 read was a big topic just in the last few 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:43.400 days about her statements that Donald Trump got the black 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:49.440 people's the stemmy and with the stimulus money, it makes 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:54.239 him a viable candidate somebody that she supports for presidency. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.000 The hood love Trump, Trump, chump, chump, get people that 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.720 have money, and he got people out of jail. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.120 But let me say something. 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.760 There were people who was all in the comments section 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:09.439 saying that she was, you know, ignorant and. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.160 Not intelligent and all of that. 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.400 And actually when I because I only read about it, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.840 but I did not watch it. In fact, I read 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.720 about it because I'm on a million text threads with 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.240 a million different people, and all of my you know, 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.800 friends that are kind of there, they're are they're of 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.760 the community. Let me say they're of the community. You know, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.960 they were pissed off, and so I in in In 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.600 You know, I watched it. I went and watched it, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.440 and as I listened to her, she was very clear. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.600 She didn't stumble over her words. She didn't sound like 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.119 a person who does not has not thought about it. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.560 Because I listened to people all the time make these 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:54.240 declarations that they are like with whoever whatever candidate, whether 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:59.600 it be Trump or Biden or whichever candidate or whichever 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:04.800 police situation, and they said, you can hear where they. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.000 Sound like someone told them to say it. 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.040 Even listening to Kanye and some of the things that 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:15.399 he was saying in his last bit with the media, 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.960 where he was just every day talking, you could hear 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:25.080 canvas owned and that proud boy's mentality and like you 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.040 could hear that it had been implanted in him. And 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.200 guess what, I'm not the only person that feels that way. 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.680 Because his own friends, who are who were his friends 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:39.679 or people he was associating with who were around him consistently, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.200 other black folks, who some of them most of them 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.320 are artists, they were like, I could they could hear it. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.920 They were immediately saying, I know that this is somebody 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.000 is telling him this stuff and maybe he thought it 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.520 was right, but he was repeating things that you could 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.840 I could tell it wasn't coming directly from him. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:02.200 But when listener, yeah, it was the right wing talking points. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.720 But listening to her, she was very very clear about 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:06.639 what she was stating. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.879 While I don't agree with her, and not only do 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.480 I not agree with her, it is factually incorrect what 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.280 she's saying. 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.480 It is factually incorrect. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:22.200 Donald Trump and his party are responsible for the stimulus 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:26.600 package because number one, most Republicans, I think every single 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:31.320 one of the Republicans in Congress voted against the stimulus 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.040 package and was trying to really vote down and challenge 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.800 anything that had to do with giving relief to the 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.480 American citizen. So let's be clear. It was a battle 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.639 Nancy Pelosi, who I ain't the biggest fan of at all. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.120 Like when I say not the biggest fan of, that's 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:55.040 actually too. I'm not a Nancy Pelosi fan, and listen in. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.919 But I can tell you that between Nancy Pelosi and 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:03.240 Chuck Schumer and the CBC and the Progressive Caucus and 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.040 all of them, they fought like hell to make sure 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:07.720 that there. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.760 Was a stimulus package. That is a fact. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.600 It is not some mess that's just being made up. Also, 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.120 the president, I don't care if the president was daffy duck, right, 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:23.280 the president had no choice but to do something to 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:27.280 deal with the fact that people had nothing, no jobs, 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:27.760 no nothing. 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:28.960 That's what the stimulus. 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.760 That is what that is what it means when you 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.320 have to declare a pandemic, When you have to declare 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.480 a pandemic, the purpose of that is to unlock additional 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.399 funds so that people can get relief, so that there's 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.520 more you know, food stamps or whatever the social services. 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.640 Are that we can provide two communities. So Donald trying. 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:54.920 And this would be if someone was saying, oh, Joe 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.760 Biden gave us a stimulus package, just like they want 0:20:57.760 --> 0:20:59.760 to talk about student loans, and we can talk about that. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.879 But just like they want to talk about that, we 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.600 already know. And it's and it's interesting. 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:09.920 It's interesting that when we say that, well, Joe Biden 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:16.360 made sure that these this nine million dollars of student 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.800 loan debt, nine billion dollars non billion dollars a student 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.920 loan debt was forgiven, they're like, oh, no, no, no, 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.240 he didn't do anything. He just corrected some stuff from 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.360
