Speaker 1: All Zone media. Man, listen, since this isn't a daily show.
Speaker 1: I'm like a one man army over here. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out Ian of course, Ian Johnson, who produces across
Speaker 1: most the Cool Zone media and has like really upped
Speaker 1: our game over here, like the Fire and Fury dudes,
Speaker 1: Garrison Hayes coming through covering more things around California. Stuff like,
Speaker 1: he's really with me into shape. So let me not
Speaker 1: undercut the addition, which I feel like has like I
Speaker 1: think has made our show a lot better by having him.
Speaker 1: That being said, ain't no research experts here. We're now
Speaker 1: writing scripts. It's me and it's just there's no way
Speaker 1: to keep up. There's no way to keep up with
Speaker 1: everything happening, man, I told y'all. Part of like, you know,
Speaker 1: the gangbanging thing for me, a part of even just
Speaker 1: like the Cool Kids table was like, I can't keep
Speaker 1: up with the TMZ of it all. It's too much
Speaker 1: stuff to keep up with. I can't. I got other
Speaker 1: things I'm interested in. I can't. Just I like, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think I said this before, like I don't follow
Speaker 1: like Shade Room, like I don't follow that account because
Speaker 1: that stuff like trying to keep up for me, like
Speaker 1: it just makes me anxious. I don't want to feel
Speaker 1: anxious and like I'm gonna be real happy for the
Speaker 1: holidays to win, I can, like good God, not consume
Speaker 1: so much dog on news. Oh man, I mean I
Speaker 1: say that as somebody not being currently carpet bombed DUDEO,
Speaker 1: So please please excuse my level of privilege. But there
Speaker 1: are so many things I've wanted to talk about this year.
Speaker 1: It's just so much has happened at I may able
Speaker 1: cover it off. So this week is gonna be somewhat
Speaker 1: of a cleanup type episode, which we've never done before.
Speaker 1: We've never done like a grab bag type episode in
Speaker 1: the one hundred and summer episodes we've ever done. So
Speaker 1: you just came over to your auntie house and we
Speaker 1: just finish, kiky, I'm gonna catch you up, child. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you what you missed. Man, listen, hood politics, y'all,
Speaker 1: lord have mercy? Well all right, well, but versus like this?
Speaker 1: What look is like this? What look is like this?
Speaker 1: But look look look, look it's like this. So I'm
Speaker 1: recording this section right now. On Monday, April fourth, the
Speaker 1: day after Club Real Ones November three, which is why
Speaker 1: my voice is a little little raspy. It was also Halloween.
Speaker 1: It was also Da delos Morthos, because you know I
Speaker 1: married me that first Gym Mexican woman that she don't
Speaker 1: play games on Da de los Morithos. My house is
Speaker 1: full of marigolds and panuerito and pictures of dead relatives.
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty beautiful for you if you understand what's
Speaker 1: going on here. And like I said last week, I
Speaker 1: feel like the gift God gave us was the beauty
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers. And what better gift than La versus
Speaker 1: New York a Dodgers versus Yankees World series, then a parade.
Speaker 1: I got to let my daughter go to her first
Speaker 1: Dodgers parade, just so amazing. And I think that was
Speaker 1: all because this week is finna be trash. Now you're
Speaker 1: hearing this after the night of the election. If I
Speaker 1: were to predict something, we still don't know who the
Speaker 1: president is. And even if we do, these Trump folks
Speaker 1: ain't gonna accept anything but victory. So we either gonna
Speaker 1: have riots or protests, either angry riots or fun riots
Speaker 1: from either way. I just don't see anybody accepting I
Speaker 1: don't see anyone. I don't see this week going well.
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that you're doing your prayers and meditations,
Speaker 1: that you getting your workout in. I hopefully y'all listen
Speaker 1: to last week to take care of yourself, because good God.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the hell is happening right now.
Speaker 1: I just know the Dodgers one. Maybe you'll stop getting
Speaker 1: texts from commalaodup. I know people still dying in Gaza.
Speaker 1: And I dropped a song called I Didn't Leave Now.
Speaker 1: The song is exists mainly on my YouTube and social
Speaker 1: media's and I wanted to get it out before this
Speaker 1: election kind of about really just kind of where I've
Speaker 1: been mentally over all this. And I think y'all, whoo've
Speaker 1: been around who knew me pre behind the bastards you
Speaker 1: already knew, like the place I played in sort of
Speaker 1: Western Christian spaces, and then I just kind of like
Speaker 1: what y'all would think is left and like I didn't leave,
Speaker 1: y'all did judoes at I've been talking. I've been trying
Speaker 1: to tell y'all about this head has since my poem
Speaker 1: twenty years go pull that down since cynical. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're on my Patreon. I'm telling the story of
Speaker 1: all my lyrics from all the way back to the
Speaker 1: tunnel Rack crew, and I know for y'all who you
Speaker 1: know checked in since behind the baskets you're like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell you're talking about, but I
Speaker 1: am a rapper. Also, anyway, sin's a song called it
Speaker 1: Didn't Leave. Please go run that up. And what's probably
Speaker 1: happening right now is riots. So no, oh, man, go
Speaker 1: get your gun license. All right, it's like that. It's
Speaker 1: like this, Okay. So, while we was enjoying all the
Speaker 1: foolishness around Diddy and his choices and cracking jokes about that,
Speaker 1: while we was enjoying memes about couch humping and Olympics
Speaker 1: and ray Gun and just so much has happened in
Speaker 1: the meantime. Sudan's in one of the worst civil wars
Speaker 1: in human history, the greatest humanitarian crisis owned the planet.
Speaker 1: There's that, there's a dude that's made that's being sued
Speaker 1: by Spotify by hacking the system and making millions and
Speaker 1: millions of dollars by using AI music. There's the Kentucky
Speaker 1: sheriff who shot a judge. There's the cops in Mississippi
Speaker 1: that broke into a black man's house and tortured him. Like,
Speaker 1: we ain't even talked about Congo yet. Like, my lord,
Speaker 1: we needje air. This world is so big and so
Speaker 1: much is happening, yo, and that ass don't even give
Speaker 1: me started about buddy Eric Godams saying, Yo, be as
Speaker 1: wily you heard yo? What uh what we call on
Speaker 1: the West Coast? Uh? This is actually funny because we
Speaker 1: just did the Weirdos episode. What we calling weirdos like
Speaker 1: they were calling New York that's a bozo Like Look
Speaker 1: at this bozo right here, Yo, Eric had a ben
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, it buck bring me so much joy
Speaker 1: because it's just y'all. Please forgive me. Mama. My mom
Speaker 1: listened to this sometimes in some of my my aunties
Speaker 1: in them, but this is just nigga shit like he did, Lord,
Speaker 1: he just it's just niggas stuff. Anyway, my mama actually
Speaker 1: speaking to my mama. She actually just called me right
Speaker 1: before I started recording this. Ain't got nothing to doing
Speaker 1: thathing we talking about, but I just wanted to share
Speaker 1: with you my mama and my sister called me because
Speaker 1: my sister had a memory of when my mother essentially
Speaker 1: taught her that she not wanted to be played with.
Speaker 1: And I don't. It seems like it's a core memory
Speaker 1: for my sister. And my mom was like, girl, that
Speaker 1: ain't happened. I ain't never done that. And I think
Speaker 1: I have fleeting memories of how I felt about what
Speaker 1: might have happened. I don't remember it specifically, but I
Speaker 1: do know my mother was very clear about like, I'm
Speaker 1: from the projects. I know I speak very clearly. I
Speaker 1: know I'm a god fearing woman. I'm very calm, and
Speaker 1: I keep my composure oftentimes, and I don't yell and
Speaker 1: curse at y'all. And my mom didn't. But don't play
Speaker 1: in my face.
Speaker 2: That's what if she shoulder anyway, Let's get to this foolishness.
Speaker 1: First. Let's go down to Kentucky this year in a
Speaker 1: city of seventeen hundred people located one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five miles southeast of Lexington, Kentucky, called Frankport. According to
Speaker 1: the reports associated pressing all them nys like this one
Speaker 1: of them cities where everybody know each other. So if
Speaker 1: anything happened like this, you know the players. It's hard
Speaker 1: for you to pick aside unless you really know what's happening,
Speaker 1: because everybody's in everybody's business. Seventeen hundred people. This judge
Speaker 1: named Kevin Mullins, fifty four years old, was shot dead
Speaker 1: in his body multiple times by his own county sheriff,
Speaker 1: Sean m Steins. What we know so far is they
Speaker 1: was outside arguing in front of the courthouse, and after
Speaker 1: that this man shot him multiple times. And we don't
Speaker 1: necessarily know why that. There's some rumors going around that
Speaker 1: this judge was messing with this man's doata, this man's
Speaker 1: underage douta. But we don't know for a fact what happened.
Speaker 1: The thing is still under investigation. But the plot of
Speaker 1: thickens because Homie when he goes to face arrayment, when
Speaker 1: he's like when he's when he's indicted on the accounts,
Speaker 1: he's arrested, and he's about to go get indicted on accounts,
Speaker 1: right this little forty three year old cop as he
Speaker 1: walks in there to get processed. Brah mann Stein's was
Speaker 1: deposed in a lawsuit Dude by these two women who
Speaker 1: said that one of this man's deputies forced her to
Speaker 1: have sex inside of mulleins chambers. For six months in
Speaker 1: exchange for losing no jail time, and the lawsuit says
Speaker 1: that this bruh was totally okay with it. They messy
Speaker 1: down there now that former sheriff Ben Fields, he pled
Speaker 1: guilty and served some jail time. And you know, as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, let me let me just quote
Speaker 1: from the quotes, okay, because yo can he country folks
Speaker 1: don't play man like if what they're saying about Mulleins
Speaker 1: is true. Where now, fam, Okay, here we go, Here
Speaker 1: we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: Here's from CBS, he said. Steins was deposed on Monday
Speaker 1: in a lawsuit filed by two women who alleged that
Speaker 1: a deputy forced her to have sex inside m Lynch
Speaker 1: chambers for six months in exchange to stay out of jail.
Speaker 1: The lawsuit accuses the sheriff of deliberate indifference in failing
Speaker 1: to adequately train and supervise the deputy. The now former
Speaker 1: Deputy staff Ben Fields pled guilty to raping the female
Speaker 1: prisoner while she was on home incarceration. Fields was sentenced
Speaker 1: a year and six months in jail and six and
Speaker 1: a half years on probation for rape sodomy, perjury, and
Speaker 1: tampering with prisoner monitoring device. So this nigga went in there,
Speaker 1: this fool just like did you remove her anklet just
Speaker 1: absolute nasty work down there, die a nasty work. The
Speaker 1: Mountain Ridge Eagle, this is the Mountain Ridge Eagle. That's
Speaker 1: who reported it. Three charges related to the second woman
Speaker 1: were dismissed because she is now dead. Nigga, that's what
Speaker 1: it's say. This is reported by CBS News, the Associated Press,
Speaker 1: and the local papers out there. So just to recap
Speaker 1: out in the sticks of Kentucky, cops shot a judge.
Speaker 1: The cop that shot the judge was totally okay with
Speaker 1: the fact that he shot the judge, but was deposed
Speaker 1: in a lawsuit for twenty twenty two where one of
Speaker 1: his former deputies was out there doing the nasty inside
Speaker 1: of Judge Mullin's offices in exchange for no jail time.
Speaker 1: Look that's what happened. Now, let's move south from Kentucky
Speaker 1: to Mississippi to some foolishness y'all. In Mississippi. You know,
Speaker 1: thank the Lord, justice was served here. You got six cops,
Speaker 1: six former Mississippi cops are doing ten to forty years
Speaker 1: you got Chris Deadman, twenty nine former narcotics investigator. Right,
Speaker 1: you got Brent mcalfin fifty three years old, former RICO
Speaker 1: chief investigator. You got Hunt Elward thirty one years old,
Speaker 1: former RICO deputy. You got Jeffrey Middleton forty six years
Speaker 1: old RICO investigator. You got Daniel Yeah, i'say, you say
Speaker 1: his name, Daniel op Dyke twenty eight years old, former
Speaker 1: RICO destiny investigator. And you got Joshua Hatfield thirty two
Speaker 1: years old. So Joshua got ten years in prison, Daniel
Speaker 1: got seventeen years in priss seventeen and a half years
Speaker 1: in prison, jeff Middleton got seventeen and a half years
Speaker 1: in prison. Hunter Elward thirty one years old, he got
Speaker 1: twenty years in prison, Brent mccaffin got twenty seven in
Speaker 1: the fourth years in prison, and Chris Deadman twenty nine
Speaker 1: years old, got forty years in prison. Now what they
Speaker 1: get in prison for? According to the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: it says the depravity of the crimes committed by these
Speaker 1: defendants cannot be overstated, and they will now spend ten
Speaker 1: to forty years in prison for their heinous attack on citizens.
Speaker 1: They had sworn to protect, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland,
Speaker 1: and I peak this, this will happen. These niggas got
Speaker 1: a nickname for it, this day little gang. When we
Speaker 1: used to say, when I've been trying to tell you
Speaker 1: these cops as gangs, don't don't let that badge fool you.
Speaker 1: Check this out. These defendants kicked in the door in
Speaker 1: the house where two black men were residing, handcuffed and
Speaker 1: arrested them without probable cause, called them racial slurs, punched, kicked, tased,
Speaker 1: and assaulted them. After one of the defendants fired his
Speaker 1: gun in the mouth of the victims, breaking his jaw,
Speaker 1: the defendants gathered outside to come up with a cover
Speaker 1: story as the victims lay bleeding on the floor. Officers
Speaker 1: who violate constitutional rights will be held accountable by the
Speaker 1: Justice Department for their crimes crimes that harm individual victims
Speaker 1: and betray their entire communities. Dog FBI said it's hard
Speaker 1: to imagine a more atrocist set of civil rights violations
Speaker 1: than those carried out by the defendants in this case. Nigga,
Speaker 1: I can't this, we can't even like, I don't even
Speaker 1: know the cops. The FBI is like for the FBI
Speaker 1: to be like, nigga, y'all real racist, like y'all crazy,
Speaker 1: but y'all like we crazy, But nigga, y'all crazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: the diddy stuff is sex trafficking. That's real. We need
Speaker 1: to deal with that. I'm just saying though, all this
Speaker 1: who shot John about all like this was really going
Speaker 1: on in these streets. These fools call themselves the Goon Squad,
Speaker 1: and they were orchestrating their mission to enter the home
Speaker 1: in Braxton, Ranking County, Mississippi, where two black men were
Speaker 1: just mining their own business. It's hard to understate, like
Speaker 1: you can't overstate it's a terror like these are terrorists, y'all.
Speaker 1: They said when they was in there, they fired their
Speaker 1: guns twice just to intimidate them. They just pushed them,
Speaker 1: kicked them, said they tasted them seventeen times, held them down,
Speaker 1: and put liquids on their faces, forced them to involuntarily
Speaker 1: ingest the liquid, threw eggs at them, it salted them
Speaker 1: with dildos. Nigga, why you what's wrong with y'all? Why
Speaker 1: you got dildos? But you know, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: have a racism problem. Macaffe and the senior officer on
Speaker 1: the scene, failed to intervene to stop this torture or abuse,
Speaker 1: and stole property while the incident was a current. This
Speaker 1: nigga robbing them. Hey, but you know that. But the
Speaker 1: police are to protect and serve. It's just a few
Speaker 1: bad apples. Do do Do Do do boooooop do do
Speaker 1: do do do do do do? This is a dil
Speaker 1: assaul on account of three say one two three? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, bro? Can you so just why
Speaker 1: we don't call the cops? Why, like how we land
Speaker 1: at abolition? Like this is how you land at it?
Speaker 1: This man bleeding on the floor after you shot this
Speaker 1: nigga in the mouth, and then here here and then
Speaker 1: the hears this. They planted a BB gun on the man,
Speaker 1: destroyed the surveillance video. See this right here is premeditation.
Speaker 1: They tried to make it look like it was like
Speaker 1: evidence of a of a drug crime lab. They followed.
Speaker 1: They filed false reports, charging this man with crimes he
Speaker 1: didn't commit, making false statements to investigators, and pressuring witnesses
Speaker 1: to stick to the cover story. This happened this year, y'all.
Speaker 1: This isn't a cartel. This the police, the goon squad
Speaker 1: that's their little set, the goon squad. All right, okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah you law and order right, I'm an abolitionist,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying them brothers deserve that time. Okay.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about something funny now, because it's also some
Speaker 1: This is a great play. This story is about music,
Speaker 1: the music industry, streaming services DSPs, and a whole lot
Speaker 1: of funny things. For me, that part of me feels
Speaker 1: like this is what's this is everything wrong about music
Speaker 1: industry now, and that's what the hell y'all get This
Speaker 1: man ran this place so a producer out of Europe.
Speaker 1: This man has made get this? Are you ready for it?
Speaker 1: This man has made six hundred and eighty nine songs
Speaker 1: over the span of several years, made them all by AI.
Speaker 1: This nigga used another AI thing to shoot up his
Speaker 1: streams and has made millions of dollars in royalties off
Speaker 1: the streaming services. And now Spotify want to sue him
Speaker 1: because they're saying is a Danish man. They're saying this
Speaker 1: is music streaming fraud, and he's accused of breaching copyright
Speaker 1: law by taking works of other artists, changing their length
Speaker 1: and tempo and publishing them under his own name right.
Speaker 1: This case was investigated by the National Unit for Special
Speaker 1: Crime that's expected to find a verdict pretty soon. Now
Speaker 1: I'm finna dog walk both of them. So I have
Speaker 1: no love for this man for stealing other people's work.
Speaker 1: I am a musician. I have sat many times at
Speaker 1: my house and have heard versions of courses that I
Speaker 1: know I've written and didn't use, of sessions with artists
Speaker 1: where we didn't finish the song. I've seen people on
Speaker 1: podcasts and award ceremonies saying my words as their own.
Speaker 1: It's kind of rearranged a little bit, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: Deeply offended by biers. And then if you're gonna profit
Speaker 1: off a bite like yeah, miss me, miss me with anything,
Speaker 1: miss me, like I hope you I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I hope uh, I hope the sesame seeds on your
Speaker 1: sushi are actually mosquitoes. I don't know. Now let me
Speaker 1: dog walk the industry. Now, y'all so excited about AI.
Speaker 1: You have record labels firing, dropping, dropping forty percent of
Speaker 1: their acts, downsizing their staff by fifty percent because everybody
Speaker 1: excited about AI. And you know what AI can do
Speaker 1: is what's called an interpolation, because all AI does is
Speaker 1: it takes other people's work. Matter of fact, what's that boy?
Speaker 1: Sam bankruen Free wanted it. I just saw an article
Speaker 1: recently that said, you know what's not fair? Copyright isn't
Speaker 1: fair to AI because AI can't work unless it uses
Speaker 1: everybody else's work. Nigga, what you can't? You can't copyright
Speaker 1: your content because they say, okay, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: AI is essentially Ricky Bobby talking to cal not in
Speaker 1: Junior saying when cal Nott and Junior says, hey, well
Speaker 1: maybe you think one time I can be first, and
Speaker 1: Ricky's like, that's cool, but if you know, if if
Speaker 1: you're first, then that means that I'm not first. So
Speaker 1: you know how our role not first or last? So
Speaker 1: you can't be first because that means I'm not first.
Speaker 1: Day telling us that AI only work unless it's steal
Speaker 1: your work. So what did this man do? So they
Speaker 1: work and just change it up a little bit and
Speaker 1: uploaded it on stream, and then what did he do?
Speaker 1: What marketing programs do they sell us to us all
Speaker 1: the time. You can buy I don't know if you
Speaker 1: notice you can buy them. You ever wonder how some
Speaker 1: songs get up to forty five million streams. How does
Speaker 1: this have? This president got twenty two monthly describe it?
Speaker 1: Song got forty five million streams? Did it go viral somewhere? No,
Speaker 1: it's click farms in India. You can buy those and
Speaker 1: rather now, rather than using the clickfarms, you could just
Speaker 1: run a AI, big old, huge radio acts with number
Speaker 1: one songs on the radio. Canceling their tours. Why because
Speaker 1: they don't have fans. They can't sell tickets. You got
Speaker 1: a billion streams, but don't nobody want to come see
Speaker 1: you because those aren't real. There was a band a
Speaker 1: few years back that was like, okay, cool, here, here's
Speaker 1: an album that's silence. And they told they fans, if
Speaker 1: you just run this album, just put us play and
Speaker 1: go to sleep and run up them streams all night,
Speaker 1: tour for free off the revenue from these from these streamers.
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. They made a gang of
Speaker 1: money on an album that was blank, took that money
Speaker 1: and went to tour. You know who else played the game?
Speaker 1: This brother Rohan yore out in Sweden. Listen this man
Speaker 1: got let me let me go and read this to
Speaker 1: you from this from the Guardian, a secret composer who
Speaker 1: has released music under hundreds of different names, has been
Speaker 1: identified as Sweden's most to listen to artists on Spotify
Speaker 1: like pull in more plays than Britney Spears or Abba.
Speaker 1: His name is Johan Rohr. He is a person behind
Speaker 1: more than six hundred and fifty different artists. It says
Speaker 1: that combined among these different artists names, he's got fifteen
Speaker 1: billion plays. You know what he makes instrumental studying music.
Speaker 1: Forty seven year old dude has created twenty two thousand,
Speaker 1: seven hundred songs on the platform under random names Maya
Speaker 1: Astro and all them like you know, Swedish dots and
Speaker 1: stuff all over the top of their names. This man
Speaker 1: is the most streamed in the top one hundred. We
Speaker 1: got songs like peaceful Piano and stress relief right and
Speaker 1: look it, you know the music you put on when
Speaker 1: you're just reading, like we all stressed. And he was
Speaker 1: just like, listen, it's a numbers game. I don't need to.
Speaker 1: It's hard to run up, you know, one hundred million subscribers,
Speaker 1: you know, or monthly listeners. But you can run up
Speaker 1: one hundred million own on one hundred thousand different artists.
Speaker 1: If you add them all together, he played the game.
Speaker 1: It's possible that this man has made two point four
Speaker 1: million euro on streamings now, according to The Guardian says,
Speaker 1: how much Roor, who has worked as a conductor on
Speaker 1: Pop Stars to and on the TV, has earned from
Speaker 1: his agreement with Spotify's not known. However, his private company
Speaker 1: reported he made thirty two point seven million in Swedish
Speaker 1: money or two point four million in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: He declined to comment right and did not responded Guardian's
Speaker 1: request for comment. This is around the time that Spotify
Speaker 1: is bragging about the fact that they're paying out to artists,
Speaker 1: that we're here and we're actually everybody says frist streaming
Speaker 1: don't pay. Look, this man just made so much while
Speaker 1: at the same time he broke the system. You supposed
Speaker 1: to be You supposed to be the platform that levels
Speaker 1: the playing field for artists, but you not, y'all created
Speaker 1: this monster. He figured out how to get his money
Speaker 1: from y'all. Now am I a fan of that? Now
Speaker 1: that's frustrating because I'm just an artist. But I ain't
Speaker 1: got I ain't got no smoke for him. He figured
Speaker 1: out the system, but back to the lawsuit. Though, y'all
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now that this your money, you
Speaker 1: care about plagiarism, You care about copyrights? Now this now
Speaker 1: that he taking your money? Now you care? Oh, you
Speaker 1: care about these click forms and streams. Now that this
Speaker 1: your money, Now that you got to pay out? Baby, Listen,
Speaker 1: you created this monster. Y'all made this. This is what happened.
Speaker 1: You made this. You are y'all following with what I'm
Speaker 1: saying here. Y'all made this happen. Y'all created this by
Speaker 1: creating a system that incentivizes us to just use programs.
Speaker 1: Because when we try to go to old fashioned way,
Speaker 1: you know what you do? You squash the algorithm. Do
Speaker 1: you know how many people that follow me that say
Speaker 1: they never see my flyers, they never see my content,
Speaker 1: They never know when my music is coming out. Because
Speaker 1: you want me to pay for the people that has
Speaker 1: already chosen to hear my stuff. I gotta pay, y'all
Speaker 1: for you to show my stuff to the people that
Speaker 1: have chosen to see my stuff. And you mad this
Speaker 1: man tricking your system. Let me tell you how dirty
Speaker 1: they're doing us. Now. They got this thing called discovery
Speaker 1: mode where they'll take a percentage of the royalties they
Speaker 1: would pay out, and they're like, yo, we'll take that
Speaker 1: money and we'll build some ads for you and we'll
Speaker 1: run ads while that's going on in the background. And
Speaker 1: so the money you were supposed to pay me you
Speaker 1: get to keep so that the people that chose to
Speaker 1: hear my music are able to hear it. Cold is
Speaker 1: Ice by Vinyl. Y'all go to the website. Please please.
Speaker 1: If you like an artist, please follow them. Don't just
Speaker 1: be a monthly listener, Like if they show up on
Speaker 1: your release, rightdar, click it, go to the albuma like.
Speaker 1: I hate this, but this is all happening all while
Speaker 1: and Trump is saying people are eating cats. I got
Speaker 1: no love lost now having said that, so here's why
Speaker 1: this makes me laugh so much again. I mean, I
Speaker 1: hate that guy who may not even I hate that
Speaker 1: guy because that's cheating. But also if you're gonna cheat,
Speaker 1: somebody cheat them. And finally, which probably deserves its own episode,
Speaker 1: but it's just too much happening. Is Mayor Eric Adams
Speaker 1: head ass Yo, yoll dead ass, yoll dead ass, this fool.
Speaker 1: I can't stop laughing about this hood ass nigga. Like, Okay,
Speaker 1: y'all Eric Adams doing nigga shit like this, Like I
Speaker 1: hate to say it like this, but this some niggash.
Speaker 1: So if you don't know who Mayor Eric Adams is,
Speaker 1: he's the mayor of New York Bronx. He talked like
Speaker 1: he from the Bronx. He sound like he sound like
Speaker 1: he's a member of mob deep you heard you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He sound like he sound like he
Speaker 1: He sounded like he go to bed in some times
Speaker 1: like he just the man sounds so New York. Brother
Speaker 1: man was a cop because he said he felt like
Speaker 1: he could change the system from within, because he from
Speaker 1: the Boogie down Brooks and now he live in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: And then when he moved to Brooklyn, be sta, do
Speaker 1: a die, you make it, We take it. Your done,
Speaker 1: your son. So he moves to Brooklyn and he mad, wow,
Speaker 1: you're there's this position in the New York government structure
Speaker 1: that's a little more symbolic. That's supposed to be like
Speaker 1: the mayor of Brooklyn because Brooklyn for a long time
Speaker 1: was its own city until it became a part of
Speaker 1: just one of the boroughs. Brooklyn's the biggest boroughs anyway,
Speaker 1: So there's this symbolic position where you're supposed to like
Speaker 1: represent Brooklyn. Now his thing. This nigga ain't even live
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, but he had to keep that a secret
Speaker 1: because he rutted to play he's awesome lot. He's an
Speaker 1: awesome lot, Hoby. So anyway, so Mayor Eric Adams runs
Speaker 1: on this like after Mayor Bellaggio leaves, he gets mayor
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. He running on an anti corruption
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I'm gonna clean up the streets.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna clean up. I'm gonna clean up the police too.
Speaker 1: I'm a former sheriff, so I'm gonna be tough on crime.
Speaker 1: But I'm also from the bricks. Heard, so since I'm
Speaker 1: from the bricks, shine, you know, I'm gonna know how
Speaker 1: to like really you know, maneuver and not be not
Speaker 1: be my wild you know what I'm saying. With the
Speaker 1: shorties on the block, you feel me. That's how this
Speaker 1: man is so New York and that's what cracks me up.
Speaker 1: But since he hood, since he for a project. Baby,
Speaker 1: this nigga just liked nice stuff because he ain't never
Speaker 1: had no nice stuff. And what he liked to do
Speaker 1: is travel. Bruh's accused of taking bribes from from Turkey,
Speaker 1: and what them bribes was is flight upgrades nigga vacations
Speaker 1: from Turkey's airlines. This full on a cartoonist level. The
Speaker 1: report's coming out about his text messages, his aides and
Speaker 1: assistance being like, yo, uh, but we need to go
Speaker 1: get these flights. And the flight was like, oh, you
Speaker 1: want to all expensive paid trip to Turkey, Okay, we'll
Speaker 1: charge you whatt like fifty bucks. And the aid was like, well,
Speaker 1: you can't charge just that little for two first class
Speaker 1: tickets maybe, And the dude was like, should it be
Speaker 1: like a thousand? He's like, yeah, make it a thousand
Speaker 1: because we don't want it to look bad. This fucking
Speaker 1: he get a flight up grades in exchange for favorable laws.
Speaker 1: Whoa child. I don't know why. It's so it's so
Speaker 1: funny because it's so hood rat, he doing hood rat things.
Speaker 1: I just want to I just want to go to
Speaker 1: Turk's kkos, but nigga, I'm trying to be out here
Speaker 1: and shining. And then some of the reporters The New
Speaker 1: York Times did a great story about how he be
Speaker 1: lying on dumb stuff like he ran on this thing
Speaker 1: about one of his officer friends got killed in the
Speaker 1: line of duty, and he said that he carried that
Speaker 1: man's picture with him in his wallet to remind him
Speaker 1: of just how serious the situation is for these officers
Speaker 1: in our streets. So, in a very basic and normal
Speaker 1: and understandable reaction, this reporter was like, Yo, can I
Speaker 1: come see the photo. I want to take a picture
Speaker 1: of it for the story we're doing on you. He say, okay, word,
Speaker 1: they come in and show the photo, nigga. But the
Speaker 1: staff said they printed that photo on regular ass paper
Speaker 1: off the internet. They google the image of the dude
Speaker 1: used coffee to stay and age the photo just so
Speaker 1: he could show it to the reporter. Big dog, all
Speaker 1: you had to say was I'm just give you I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you a lie. Oh man, it's so torn
Speaker 1: up now you can't even see it no more like
Speaker 1: I mean, I care read it, but to be real,
Speaker 1: like it's falling apart now, I ain't got it. That's
Speaker 1: all you had to say, my nigga. Had they had
Speaker 1: them try to it's like it's a joke, my dude.
Speaker 1: When they took his phone to see his text messages,
Speaker 1: bruh Man said hey. They was like, yo, can you
Speaker 1: open it? He was like, oh, I had to change
Speaker 1: the couch my personal phone, so I had to change
Speaker 1: the cold because I didn't want my staff to go
Speaker 1: into it. They was like, okay, cool, open it. He
Speaker 1: was like, I don't remember the code. I don't remember
Speaker 1: the nigga. You think they don't know how to get
Speaker 1: into your phone? My nigga, Hold lord, oh Lord, Eric Adams,
Speaker 1: listen if I was Charlemagne to God, this the donkey
Speaker 1: of the day, because bruh, it's just this is the
Speaker 1: most New York story. And he like, nah, man, they
Speaker 1: just mad at me because you know, I'm out here
Speaker 1: being the next I'm biting with compassion, my nigga, know
Speaker 1: you not? Oh Lord? You are a borrow baby. You are.
Speaker 1: I just hear your timberlands when you talk. It's so
Speaker 1: funny to me. You messy as hell. Dog. So I
Speaker 1: wanted to end this with something funny. I was gonna
Speaker 1: do the Sudanese Civil War, but I think I want
Speaker 1: to bring someone on from Search for Common Ground to
Speaker 1: talk about it more seriously, because there's a reality that
Speaker 1: on a serious note that kind of like really hurts
Speaker 1: as an American and sometimes I have to I'm being
Speaker 1: transparent here. Sometimes I had to go out of my
Speaker 1: way to remind myself of this reality. It's that while
Speaker 1: I don't believe in oppression, Olympics and like pitting the
Speaker 1: importance of one group suffering in competition with the others,
Speaker 1: America tends to overlook African conflicts and I do think
Speaker 1: it has something deeply to do with anti blackness. But
Speaker 1: and this is no judgment to anybody advocating for Palestinian liberation,
Speaker 1: because it's all connected. I believe it's all connected. You know,
Speaker 1: our liberation is connected to Palestine, which is connected to Lebanon,
Speaker 1: which is connected to mass incarceration, police state. It's all
Speaker 1: connected to me, like for real. But that being said,
Speaker 1: I am not as informed about Sudan, Congo and Nijaer
Speaker 1: as I am about Palestine and Ukraine, which has to
Speaker 1: do with American news. Like it's just this is just
Speaker 1: really like I have to go seek that. If I
Speaker 1: want to know stuff about what's happening to black people,
Speaker 1: I have to go seek that out. And I don't
Speaker 1: want to throw that at the end of this episode,
Speaker 1: because that's me continuing perpetuating the same thing. I'm saying
Speaker 1: this as like like even gear in my tone, like
Speaker 1: I feel just as guilty that you know, I too
Speaker 1: can like I can start to talk about you know,
Speaker 1: the Arab Spring, and I mean all the way back
Speaker 1: to the Babylonian Empire, about ancient Mesopotamia, like I can
Speaker 1: run the Israel Palestine play from five point thirty BC
Speaker 1: to now. I can't do that with Sudan, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's to my shame, Like I'm saying this to
Speaker 1: my shame, you feel me, so yeah, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bring somebody else in for that to make sure that
Speaker 1: we're speaking more serious about it. But anyway, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we missed a lot. This has been a very busy year.
Speaker 1: And hope you can find time, you feel me to
Speaker 1: to go chill up in the park and just wait
Speaker 1: for the sun to go down. It was me Sherry
Speaker 1: Road and the homies A light of shade. No, I'm
Speaker 1: a darker shade brown. And now some final thoughts about
Speaker 1: this election. Well, we've been talking all year about it,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the primaries and Nicki Haley remember
Speaker 1: Nicki Haley and Desantos remember Des Antos. Remember that, remember
Speaker 1: when there was this like mirage of a diversity of thought,
Speaker 1: and Trump even didn't even have the decency to show
Speaker 1: up to any of those debates because he knew better,
Speaker 1: he knew he didn't need to. I think one thing
Speaker 1: that like really gives me pauses the fact that no
Speaker 1: one ever stops running like the election season is now.
Speaker 1: It seems as though it was the entire four years,
Speaker 1: and maybe that was just a Trump thing to where
Speaker 1: he was always running for office. The celebrity of it
Speaker 1: all kind of bothers me, And in a way that's
Speaker 1: kind of weird, because I love the idea of the
Speaker 1: American population being so tapped in to not just reality
Speaker 1: TV and sports, but people that actually affect the life
Speaker 1: that they're actually leading, People that you could actually reach
Speaker 1: out and touch, you can believe it or not, you
Speaker 1: could touch a politician like they matter of fact, they
Speaker 1: need you for their job. We should know their names.
Speaker 1: My district district dude I voted for is David Kim,
Speaker 1: Like you should know their names. One of my wife's
Speaker 1: high school friends is running for school board. One of
Speaker 1: the guys one of the parents at my daughter's schools
Speaker 1: running for City Council in Pasadena, like you should know,
Speaker 1: you should know these people, but they're not celebrities. The
Speaker 1: entertainment of politics kind of defeats the point I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, like my feelings are I should feel about
Speaker 1: them the way that DJ had talked about it, where
Speaker 1: it's like, man, why should I fuck with you? Prove
Speaker 1: me right or prove me wrong? Why should I fuck
Speaker 1: with you? Like, but besides that, I'll owe you nothing,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not a fan, just a fan. It's just weird.
Speaker 1: And since I'm a black man and somebody that knows
Speaker 1: how to read, there's no past, nostalgic era of politics
Speaker 1: that I'm longing for, no sort of civility that comes
Speaker 1: from the past that makes me excited. No, my hope
Speaker 1: was to see us progress, to see transparency become better,
Speaker 1: that we would that the T threes, the T three thousands,
Speaker 1: would be better than the T one thousand. But I
Speaker 1: think you can't be a freshwater fish in a saltwater ocean.
Speaker 1: If you're picking up a metaphor here, what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is the institution does not allow for something new, So
Speaker 1: we're working with what we got. You're in the ocean,
Speaker 1: you might as well swim, so I'm looking for the
Speaker 1: best saltwater fish. My next thought is around the evolution
Speaker 1: of strategy, and in that sense, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: The idea of you know, there was a time in
Speaker 1: America where people would drag you out your house and
Speaker 1: whoop your ass and then walk you to the voting
Speaker 1: booth to go vote for the person they wanted you
Speaker 1: to vote for. I love the idea of technology now.
Speaker 1: I am very much getting tired of getting text by
Speaker 1: kam a little. But I tell you what, strategy wise,
Speaker 1: I think that's got to dope, you know. I wish
Speaker 1: that that would take the place of these commercials that
Speaker 1: are just assaulting us at all times. I like the
Speaker 1: idea of commercials. I hate the idea that commercials don't
Speaker 1: have to be fact checked. That sucks. I like the
Speaker 1: idea of trying to get on TikTok and communicating in
Speaker 1: a way that matches the culture. I like that it's
Speaker 1: just just you know, maybe do it better. Ultimately, I'm
Speaker 1: not excited about the state of our politics, you know,
Speaker 1: like big shocker, right, people of good conscious are really
Speaker 1: stuck between a rock and a hard place here, you know.
Speaker 1: And then there's the reality of like I, unless you
Speaker 1: exist truly in a non nuanced click funnel of a world,
Speaker 1: I don't see how you could vote in full good
Speaker 1: conscious for either of these options. And what a world
Speaker 1: we live in where, of course we know it's a
Speaker 1: big country, so no one's gonna get everything they want.
Speaker 1: But to just with a clear conscious be able to
Speaker 1: say this person is my person is it's kind of
Speaker 1: sad we're relegated to voting in good strategy where there
Speaker 1: are certain things that are just you know, complete non negotiables.
Speaker 1: And I think now it's time for me to say it.
Speaker 1: If you don't already know that, you know Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: a non starter, there's and I mean even even if
Speaker 1: he's your guy, you're not his guy. He don't love
Speaker 1: you now. On the other hand, the conscious part is
Speaker 1: it's really exciting for me to see the idea of
Speaker 1: a black woman, a biracial black woman, sitting in the
Speaker 1: Oval office. That is very exciting to me. But that
Speaker 1: seat sits on top of a genocide of other people
Speaker 1: of color, and that hurts to think. I believe that
Speaker 1: ultimately she is a better option for the people of Gaza.
Speaker 1: She's a better option for us in America in terms
Speaker 1: of she's not a visagogue. But I am not excited
Speaker 1: about this, And I even have friends that really are
Speaker 1: excited about Kamala. One of my friends have been stumping
Speaker 1: for Kamala since the first time she ran. He's sold,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm you know, I'm not. You know.
Speaker 1: I have friends who have become so disillusioned that they're
Speaker 1: just you know, they're just like, look, dude, I'm sitting out. Man.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can in good faith do this, which
Speaker 1: is why I respond with, you know, in good strategy. Now,
Speaker 1: in terms of the creep of fascism, which ain't creep,
Speaker 1: it's stomping, part of me finds solace in the idea that,
Speaker 1: like the rest of the world can pat us on
Speaker 1: our little head and say, oh, this is your first
Speaker 1: this is your first, uh dictator. Huh, it's so cute.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, hey, world, look, America got their first fascist dictator.
Speaker 1: Oh you guys, Oh they're gonna They've never collapsed before. Hey,
Speaker 1: welcome to the club. Man. Every country collapsed. It's just
Speaker 1: weird because it's our first time seeing it. This wasn't
Speaker 1: our first threat of fascism, you know, refer to the
Speaker 1: Smetley Butler episodes. But yeah, yeah, we're in a very
Speaker 1: defining time. You know. Trust is at a low, and
Speaker 1: I just tomorrow's not or as it is today. For
Speaker 1: for for when you're listening to this, If Trump loses,
Speaker 1: it's not the end of the Trump error. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just going to have a new name. It's as
Speaker 1: old as Caligula, you know, that thing that that that
Speaker 1: thing he brings that just man just feeds on the
Speaker 1: worst of us. My mom, in her you know, wisdom
Speaker 1: of some years lived, talked about the seed of mistrust.
Speaker 1: She was talking specifically like in my marriage, you know,
Speaker 1: is when they when that germ, like when that one
Speaker 1: little thing, just that brain you know, that brainworm, when
Speaker 1: it just if that one little kernel of doubt it
Speaker 1: like it is so hard, so hard to bring that
Speaker 1: trust back. And I feel like that's America and its institutions,
Speaker 1: that that kernel of doubt that in a lot of
Speaker 1: ways is America's fault, Like it's the institution's fault that
Speaker 1: we don't trust them because they not trustworthy. But when
Speaker 1: they are trying to do right by us, when they
Speaker 1: are just reporting the information to try to earn that
Speaker 1: trust back is daunting and that makes me sad. And
Speaker 1: this complete disbelief in the idea that a person can
Speaker 1: actually lose, that sometimes things just don't go your way.
Speaker 1: So you had a bad day, and why that is
Speaker 1: not of value anymore for at least half of our
Speaker 1: country is so bizarre to me to believe that like that,
Speaker 1: if you lose, it's because they cheated. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the opposite of morals. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the GOP needs an overhaul. You got to cancer, guys,
Speaker 1: and the Democrats you need a backbone. You need a bacchiotomy. Man,
Speaker 1: where's your heart at stand on your ten toes? I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I wish I was more excited about this.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong you guys. In the future, you
Speaker 1: could tell me what's going on? All right? Politics? All right? Now,
